Quickly wear the heartthrob: Peach Blossom Beauty Fululai

After scolding Huo Haochu in her heart, Shen Qingjiao suddenly heard sounds of beating and scolding coming from outside the palace wall.

When she walked out, she saw four or five eunuchs standing in the corner, beating and kicking a young eunuch.

"what-"

Suddenly, the young eunuch let out a scream and was then knocked to the ground.

Shen Qingjiao couldn't bear to watch it.

She took a few steps forward and shouted angrily, "Stop it!"

The eunuchs turned around and found Shen Qingjiao standing behind them.

Someone was puzzled and whispered to his companions, "This Yongshou Palace has been vacant for a long time. When did a queen appear?"

Another eunuch suddenly remembered and exclaimed, "It's Concubine Rou! The woman the emperor brought back to the palace tonight."

Only then did everyone come to their senses and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Forget it this time, but if there is a next time, I will never let you off easily!" Shen Qingjiao's face was as cold as ice.

"Thank you, Madam Roupin, for your grace."

The eunuchs kowtowed several times and fled in a hurry.

The young eunuch who was knocked to the ground stood up with the help of the wall and wanted to leave as well.

Shen Qingjiao called him, "What's your name?"

The young eunuch quickly turned around and answered respectfully, "Reporting to Madam Roupin, my name is Xiao Zhongzi, which means loyal."

Shen Qingjiao thought: It’s a good name, but I wonder if he can live up to his name?

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me.

She turned around and saw an older eunuch walking towards them with a dozen younger eunuchs and palace maids.

When the leader saw Shen Qingjiao, he immediately smiled and said, "Greetings to Concubine Rou. I am the eunuch chief steward Li Guoan, and these people behind me are here to serve the Concubine."

Shen Qingjiao frowned.

She came here to complete the system task. If there were too many eunuchs and palace maids around her, it would be inconvenient to do things. She would have to consider other people's eyes, which would be detrimental to her actions.

After a moment's silence, she said, "I am not used to having too many people around me. I order them to come at the hour of Mao and the hour of You every day, complete their work within an hour, and then leave Yongshou Palace. They are not allowed to stay."

Although Li Guoan was surprised, he didn't say much. He bowed and nodded, saying, "I understand."

Shen Qingjiao nodded in satisfaction, then she looked at Xiao Zhongzi standing beside her and said, "I want Xiao Zhongzi to come over and do the work for me. Is that okay with Steward Li?"

Li Guoan nodded quickly, "Of course."

After receiving a positive response, Shen Qingjiao turned to look at Xiao Zhongzi.

"I will triple your monthly salary, but on one condition: when you work in Yongshou Palace, no matter what you see, you must not reveal a single word to anyone. Do you understand?"

Xiao Zhongzi was overjoyed when he heard this.

He never thought that such a great thing would happen to him.

Because he was young, he was often bullied by other eunuchs.

But Concubine Rou was willing to let him work in the palace and even gave him three times the monthly salary? ? ?

He was overjoyed and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you for your grace, Madam Roupin. I know what to do. Please rest assured, Madam Roupin."

Shen Qingjiao chuckled, "If you have a mouth, you can say nice things. I have a pill. If someone takes it and says something they shouldn't say, their intestines will rot and they will die in pain."

As she spoke, she took out a black pill from her bosom and continued, "Only if you take this pill can I trust your loyalty and allow you to work in Yongshou Palace."

Staring at the black pill, Xiao Zhongzi felt a little scared.

But think about it, he is naturally loyal to Concubine Rou.

After realizing this, he was no longer afraid. He opened his mouth wide and waited for Concubine Rou to feed him medicine.

Shen Qingjiao was very satisfied with his performance. She threw the pill into his mouth, and Xiao Zhongzi swallowed it with a gulp.

"In the future, you will work in Yongshou Palace." Shen Qingjiao smiled faintly.

Xiao Zhongzi immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude.

Duty office.

After an incense stick of time, Lieutenant General Li came and prepared to replace Huo Haochu.

Only half a minute passed and Huo Haochu still didn't move a step.

Lieutenant General Li thought that he was worried, so he quickly said, "General, you can go back and rest. I will be on duty well and will not be lazy."

Huo Haochu didn't say anything, just looked at him silently.

Although Lieutenant General Li worked diligently, his internal strength was not as good as his.

If there was another rat infestation in Concubine Rou's place later, he was worried that Lieutenant General Li would not be able to handle it effectively.

Huo Haochu thought about it, and finally made up his mind, shaking his head and said, "It doesn't matter, this general is not sleepy."

Lieutenant General Li felt a little strange when he heard this, but he did not show it. "Then I will go into the house and sort out the military documents. If the general has any instructions, I will be ready to be dispatched at any time."

Huo Haochu nodded lightly.

Then he left his guard post and continued patrolling along the palace wall.

Yongshou Palace.

Shen Qingjiao leaned lazily on the couch, chewing crisp and delicious grapes.

In my mind, the system suddenly spoke, "Host, Huo Haochu continued to be on duty in the second half of the night and did not leave the palace."

Shen Qingjiao was slightly stunned.

Then she started laughing so hard that her body shook.

"I begged him just now, but he refused coldly. Now he is willing to stay? He is such a hard-mouthed but soft-hearted man!"

The system waved a small red flag and said excitedly, "Host, go ahead. There is no man in this world that you can't handle!"

Hearing this, Shen Qingjiao sighed softly, "No, I have a hunch that this man is not easy to fool. I always feel that there is a hint of..." in the way he looks at me

She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, and finally found the right word, "Contempt?"

The system denied without hesitation, "Host, be more confident. You are as beautiful as a fairy in Wangchao Tower. Huo Haochu will never look down on you. Maybe he has fallen in love with you!"

Shen Qingjiao frowned slightly, but did not refute it.

After thinking for a while, she called Zhu Ling in and said, "Send the grapes on the table to the guard post and tell them that they have worked hard on night duty, and this little gift is a token of my appreciation."

"Yes, your majesty." Zhu Ling did as she was told.

After Zhu Ling left, Shen Qingjiao took out paper and pen, and after writing the list, she called Xiao Zhongzi and asked him to take the list to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine.

A quarter of an hour later.

Huo Haochu patrolled again near Yongshou Palace.

Thinking back to just now, Concubine Rou hugged his waist tightly, without any regard for the differences between men and women, his face darkened and veins on his forehead throbbed.

Shen Qingjiao jumped out directly from behind the door.

When she saw Huo Haochu's figure, her eyes lit up and she called out with a smile, "General Huo!"

Huo Haochu was panicked when he unexpectedly met this woman again.

After all, he had just said that he would be leaving soon. If she asked him why he was still on duty at this moment, how should he answer?

When Huo Haochu was racking his brains to think hard, he suddenly felt something in his arms. When he smelled it carefully, he could smell a faint scent of herbs.

Shen Qing's gentle and charming voice rang in his ears.

"I just saw that General Huo has traces of mosquito bites on his neck. This is a homemade herbal sachet. With it, General Huo won't have to suffer from mosquito bites anymore."

Huo Haochu was stunned.

He stared at Shen Qingjiao blankly, forgetting to react for a moment.

Shen Qingjiao noticed that the man's eyes were dim and his expression was uncertain. She was worried that he would refuse again, so she turned around and ran into the palace.

Staring at Shen Qingjiao's hurriedly departing back, Huo Haochu was in a trance for a moment.

He was confused as he held the small herbal sachet.

He was just a military general, so why did Concubine Rou treat him so well, care about him, and even sew medicinal herb sachets for him?

After thinking about it over and over again, Huo Haochu still couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up.

It just so happened that he felt a little thirsty, so he used his Qinggong skills to return to his duty station.

As soon as he reached the door, Huo Haochu saw Roupin's maid walking out of the guardhouse.

He frowned slightly.

Why did Concubine Rou send her maid here? Did something happen in Yongshou Palace again?

Huo Haochu walked quickly into the room and was about to ask something, but when Lieutenant General Li saw him, he pointed to the fruit plate on the table and smiled.

"General, you came at the right time. Concubine Rou said that we worked hard on the night watch, so she sent us some grapes to comfort us."

"Send grapes?" Huo Haochu frowned even tighter.

That woman first gave him a sachet of herbs, and now she's sending grapes to the guard post. What is she planning?

He was not as noble as Prince Anling and His Majesty. Logically speaking, the ambitious Concubine Rou should not have bothered so much about him.

But she did it anyway. What was her purpose?

I really can’t figure it out.
