I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

Tengxi looked at the direction where Wuye disappeared and suddenly asked, "Miss Jiang, is this guard the one that Songyan likes?"

Jiang Xingkuo was stunned for a moment, and looked at Tengxi in confusion, "Why do you ask that?"

Tengxi explained: "Before, Songyan asked me to teach her how to make a purse, saying that it was for the guard. But now it seems that there is something fishy between the guard and Xiao'e."

Jiang Xingkuo sighed softly, with a helpless look in his eyes, "Now that Xiao'e is gone, there is no point in saying these things."

Tengxi lowered his head, "The girl is right."

No night, rattle.

Jiang Xingkuo suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Tengxi: "Tengxi, don't go, I have other things for you to do."

Tengxi was a little surprised, but still agreed respectfully, "Yes, young lady. Please give your orders."

Jiang Xingkuo secretly clenched her fists as she watched Tengxi leave. After she had calmed down, she set out on the road to Huining Palace alone.

There were few guards in Huining Palace, but they looked extremely cautious.

As soon as Jiang Xingkuo stepped into the palace, the palace maid recognized her and led her into the palace without hesitation.

Jiang Xingkuo felt a little strange and asked, "Why don't we need to report today?"

A guard whispered back, "It was the order of Concubine De that we don't have to stop the young lady. From now on, the young lady can come in directly."

Jiang Xingkuo felt a little confused, but still walked in.

In the courtyard, Concubine De was carefully trimming the branches of the chrysanthemums. When she saw Jiang Xingkuo coming in, she threw the scissors to the ground and a smile suddenly broke out on her face. "You're here!"

Jiang Xingkuo was stunned.

How come this guy is even dumber than A Yan?

"Mrs. Defei, why did you get out of bed? It's only been a few days. Even a miscarriage should be taken seriously. You can't get out of bed so early."

She said deliberately.

After hearing this, Concubine De frowned slightly, with a hint of impatience on her face, "Why are you the same as Furong, nagging about these things every day. I can't do this or that. I've really had enough of lying down, and the quilt is about to grow mushrooms! It's nothing serious, but I have to go out today!"

She waved her hand and said to the maid beside her, "Go, serve tea to Miss Jiang."

Seeing this, Jiang Xingkuo chuckled and handed over a food box, "I brought this for you, it tastes better than tea."

De Fei's eyes lit up. She took the yogurt and scooped it mouthful after mouthful, with a satisfied look on her face. "What is this?! It's really different from others. It's delicious! Others only let me drink it hot, but this is much more refreshing."

Seeing that she did not hesitate, Jiang Xingkuo could not help but ask: "...Aren't you afraid of poison?"

"If you wanted to harm me, you could have just not saved me the day I fell into the water. Now you've gone to so much trouble to poison me... Ugh... It tastes good!"

Yeah. Smarter than Ayan.

Jiang Xingkuo thought about it and smiled slightly.

It seems like I haven't been so relaxed in the past few days.

De Fei put down the yogurt, with a trace of yearning in her eyes, "I heard that you opened a store outside, and it is crowded with people every day, and the queues have to wait all night. I am really envious. It's a pity that I can't leave the palace, otherwise I must go to your store and have a seat."

Jiang Xingkuo waved his hands quickly and explained, "It's not that exaggerated! It's just a small business... As long as the queen likes it. Although you can't leave the palace, I can often bring you some food from the store. Just tell me what you want to eat."

A smile spread across Concubine De's face, with gratitude sparkling in her eyes. "That's great. You are truly my confidant."

She held Jiang Xingkuo's hand, feeling a little excited, "It's my blessing to have a friend like you in this palace."

"...Friends?" Jiang Xingkuo hesitated.

De Fei didn't care about her emotions at all, "Why don't you just call me Yuehan!"

Jiang Xingkuo tried to shout:

"...Yes, Yuehan."

"It sounds so beautiful!" Concubine De proudly handed her the cut chrysanthemums.

A green chrysanthemum in full bloom.

"...The lotus has withered and there is no rain cover left, but the remaining chrysanthemums still have branches that stand proudly against the frost." Jiang Xingkuo murmured.

Concubine De immediately asked with starry eyes: "Miss Jiang, do you like chrysanthemums too?"

Jiang Xingkuo smiled slightly, shook his head, and said casually: "I like lotus flowers."

De Fei was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, "I see."

She was silent for a moment, then said, "I heard that you lost a maid. It's a pity. I can give you Furong! Her name is Furong... and she is the lotus you like..."

Jiang Xingkuo quickly smiled and waved his hands, "Thank you for your kindness, I was just joking. Furong, your master is too frivolous!"

Furong, who was standing by, immediately responded, "Miss, you are right. The queen is just too reckless. Please tell me more about her..."

Concubine De picked up a flower stem from the table and threw it at her, "Little bitch! You're here to frame me again! Go do your own thing!"

Furong smiled, took the flower stem, and stepped back.

Jiang Xingkuo watched them play with envy, and he let down his guard a little. He decided to ask directly, "Yuehan, I'm asking something I shouldn't ask..."

"You said. Tell me everything you know."

"Why were you confined by His Majesty?" Jiang Xingkuo wanted to stop talking.

Upon hearing this, Concubine De showed a mischievous smile on her face and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"…Because I told Your Majesty that I want to sleep with you!"

When Jiang Xingkuo heard this, he slipped off the stool and fell to the ground, his eyes wide open with fear.

Seeing this, Concubine De simply said, "Look at you, how can you be frightened so easily?"

Jiang Xingkuo got up, still in shock, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Madam, what are you doing..."

Concubine De covered her mouth and chuckled, "Do you think Your Majesty is jealous?"

Jiang Xingkuo looked at Concubine De's indifferent expression and didn't know what to say for a moment. He just felt that the world in this palace was too absurd.

"Also..."

Jiang Xingkuo quickly pricked up his ears as if he was saved.

"Hey...don't move!"

Jiang Xingkuo froze instantly.

Her white fingers gently brushed across Jiang Xingkuo's cheek, "You have an eyelash here!"

Jiang Xingkuo's eyes wandered uncontrollably.

"Your eyelashes are so long!" she exclaimed, completely unaware of the shock in Jiang Xingkuo's eyes.

"You... aren't you a lesbian..." Jiang Xingkuo squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

"Lily? What does that mean? Do you like lily?" She asked back, tilting her head and supporting her cheek.

"No, no, no... I mean... forget it. Well, I have something to do, so I'll leave first..."

Jiang Xingkuo straightened the stool and ran out.

"Hey! Hey! Food box!" Defei shouted at her while holding the food box.

Jiang Xingkuo didn't dare to look back. He only heard "Suitable! Suitable!"

She ran faster.

"Why is she running? What's the hurry? I haven't told her the reason yet!" Defei asked Furong who had just come out.

Furong smiled bitterly and shook her head.
