I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

"Sister Xiao Zhu, it's getting late. Shouldn't you go back?"

The child tugged at Xiao Zhu's sleeve and pulled him out. When they turned around, they saw Su Minglang standing behind them with a smile on his face. It was unknown how long they had been looking at him, but the two of them didn't even notice.

Xiao Zhu didn't have time to think and jumped to the front, blocking the little girl behind him. Only then did he see that the person opposite was dressed elegantly and it was obvious that she was not an ordinary palace maid.

"You are Miss Zhu, right?" Su Minglang asked with a smile.

Xiao Zhu became more nervous after hearing this, but she still blocked the person behind her and refused to move away. "Your servant Zhu Yan greets the queen."

"Do you know me?" Su Minglang raised his eyebrows.

Zhu Yan nodded and said, "The clothes your majesty is wearing were personally bestowed by His Majesty. They are made of the finest silk that was sent as tribute from the Southern Kingdom. The clothes made of this material must only be given to two people, one is His Majesty's wet nurse Li, and the other is Su Zhaoyi from Linglong Palace."

"Then I, the Li family servant, have seen you, so you can only be the Concubine Zhaoyi."

"Oh, really?" Su Minglang didn't expect that the clothes he was wearing were so expensive. "You are quite smart."

"So you should be working in the Shangfu Bureau?"

"Yes, I am indeed a palace maid in the Shangfu Bureau." Xiao Zhu straightened her body and bowed to Su Minglang.

Su Minglang nodded without asking any more questions and said, "I came here today because of the girl behind you."

"Your name is Nian'er, right? How about living with me in Linglong Palace in the future?"

Nian'er hid behind Xiao Zhu and timidly poked his head out. He was no longer as disheveled as he was that night. His clothes were clean and tidy, and his face was white and clean.

"Why do you want to take Nian'er away?" Xiao Zhu didn't have time to think about why she knew Nian'er's name. In the current situation, she didn't know whether she could save Nian'er from Su Minglang.

"Miss Xiao Zhu, don't worry. I'm here because someone asked me to do something for me." Su Minglang took out the ring in his arms. As soon as Nian'er saw the ring, she took the initiative to step forward.

"It's Brother Zhao's ring!" Nian'er wanted to go up and take a closer look, but Xiao Zhu grabbed her arm.

"Who entrusted the Queen with this?" Xiao Zhu had no impression of the ring, but seeing Nian'er's appearance, she had some guesses in her heart. However, she still didn't dare to hand the person over based on just a few guesses.

"Li Zhao, Lord Li told me that he left someone by Nian'er's side to take care of him. Thank you for your hard work over the years." Su Minglang did not care about her rudeness and took the lead in explaining the matter clearly.

"I don't know what Lord Li has told you about this child, so I won't say any more. But you can rest assured after handing her over to me." Su Minglang took out a bulging brocade bag and handed it to her. "Here are some gold leaves. It will be a guarantee for you to walk around the palace in the future."

"As for what Li Zhao promised you, I'm not very clear about it." Su Minglang thought that since she was willing to do Li Zhao such a big favor, he must have made a great promise to her.

"I eat the emperor's salary and I am loyal to him. I cannot accept the reward from the queen." Xiao Zhu held the brocade bag and handed it to Su Minglang again. He raised his head and there was unyielding determination in his eyes.

"You don't want to be a palace maid forever, do you?" Su Minglang did not take the thing from her hand but asked, "Since you work in the Shangfu Bureau, you must have seen more female officials in action, right? They are much better than palace maids."

"I don't know what Li Zhao promised you, but if you are willing, I can go to the Queen Mother to find a job for you." Su Minglang looked at her with a smile, without any contempt in her eyes, "It's not easy to be a female official. Take this money and it will be useful to you in the future."

"But there is one thing you should understand. After you walk out of this door today, everything in front of you will have nothing to do with you." Su Minglang's expression suddenly became sharp, and an unquestionable voice came out of her mouth.

Xiao Zhu felt the pressure doubled in an instant, as if something invisible was pressing on her back and she dared not straighten it. She did not dare to let Su Minglang wait too long and hurried back: "I understand, Master Li has already told me."

"That's great." Su Minglang nodded, turned around and smiled at the little girl hiding behind her, "Nian'er, your brother A Zhao entrusted you to me, so from now on, you will live with me, okay?"

Nian'er stuck her head out, but the moment she saw Su Minglang, she pulled it back. However, Li Zhao's ring seemed very attractive to her, and soon her little head popped out again.

Su Minglang laughed as he watched her stretch and shrink like a mole. He took a step forward and handed her the ring, then stretched out his hand in front of her, "Shall we go?"

Nian'er glanced at her, took two steps forward, muttered something in a low voice, and took advantage of Su Minglang's unpreparedness to grab the ring and ran away. Unfortunately, before she ran ten steps away, she was grabbed by Nanxing and lifted up.

"Empress!" When Xiao Zhu saw Nian'er being caught, he looked at Su Minglang anxiously. Before he could finish his words of plea, she waved her hands and smiled helplessly.

"Let her go, Nanxing." Su Minglang pointed at the little girl she had lifted up, "Just don't let her run away again."

"Yes, Master." Nan Xing lifted her up in front of Su Minglang, put her down, and held her collar, "Don't run away, Master is asking you a question!"

"I'm not running anymore!" Nian'er struggled but couldn't get Nanxing's hand free. Finally, she collapsed helplessly after running out of strength. "Is it okay if I don't run? Put me down."

Nan Xing ignored her plea and just looked at Su Minglang, waiting for her next instruction. Su Minglang did not give any more orders. He paced closer to the two of them, still spreading one hand in front of Nian'er, with a faint smile on his lips.

Nian'er rested for a while and began to struggle unwillingly again. She looked up and met Su Minglang's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She felt her whole body tremble and dared not move anymore. She stared blankly at her and stretched out her hand in front of her, and calmly uttered two words: "Ring."

A small hand tremblingly placed the thing on Su Minglang's outstretched hand, and then quickly took it back as if afraid of something, and the whole person was shaking as if he had seen something terrible.

"Since you've seen the ring and you know Li Zhao, then come with me." Su Minglang no longer insisted on holding her hand. He slowly stood up and no longer gave the little guy even a glance. His originally gentle expression became even colder, and there was no emotion in his words.
