She always plays cards out of the ordinary

Chapter 71: Legend of Zhen Huan 16

Zhen Huan hesitated to speak, wanting to refute, Jin Xi saw it and spoke again, "My lady, yes, you can endure such a hard life, but do you think it is a hard life now? No, now those people are not sure whether you will fall out of favor, so they only dare to play some tricks on you, and when the emperor forgets you, you will see the real hell. For example, Kang Luhai, how diligent was he when you first came in? Now, it's already impossible to shout at him. Not to mention that it can't be shouted at, isn't there no slave bullying the master in this palace? Don't think that no one will deal with you if you are not favored. No, as long as you are not favored, you are the most humble existence in this palace, and there will be a lot of people who will come to step on you. My lady, with your personality, can you stand the feeling that everyone can come to step on you?"

Jing Xi's step-by-step analysis made Zhen Huan's confused mind start to work. It's not that she is not smart. How can someone who has been familiar with poetry and books since childhood not be smart? It's just that she didn't react at the beginning.

Zhen Huan waved her hand, "Jin Xi, let me think about it. I need to think about it."

When Jing Xi saw Zhen Huan like this, she knew that she had heard what she had just said, and she was just feeling a little upset.

"Then young master, please have your dinner first. You can't skip the meal."

Huanbi was already hungry, but she saw Zhen Huan and Jin Xi talking, so she didn't want to disturb them. She uncovered the plates one by one, and saw that one of the bowls was filled with some meat. She exclaimed in surprise, "My lady, there is meat in tonight's dinner. We haven't eaten meat for many days."

Liuzhu, who was standing by, was also very happy. She quickly took out the food from the lunch box, but when her hand touched the bowl, she paused and said, "Aunt Jinxi, the meat is cold. We can't eat it."

Jin Xi also touched the cold bottom of the bowl, feeling a little worried, "It's not winter yet. If it were winter, we would have a charcoal basin to heat up the food. But now we don't even have a charcoal fire, let alone a charcoal basin in Suiyuxuan."

Huanbi was already hungry, and now she couldn't eat the meat, so she couldn't help getting annoyed, "What should we do? Should we not eat?"

At this time, a eunuch named Xiao Yunzi said, "My lord, I have a charcoal basin here."

When Huanbi heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Go get it quickly."

"Yes, little one, go right here."

Xiao Yunzi ran back quickly and brought the charcoal brazier. When they saw the charcoal brazier, they found that there was nothing inside.

Huanbi was disappointed and said, "What's the use without charcoal?"

Xiao Yunzi was a little embarrassed. How could eunuchs have a charcoal basin? He had spent some money to buy this one from someone else. It was one of the discarded ones by the masters. As for charcoal, it had been used before. How could it be stored? He looked left and right, and suddenly saw the crabapple tree in the yard. Suddenly, an idea came to him.

"My lady, how about we break off some branches from the crabapple tree in the yard and use them to start a fire and heat up the food."

After being framed, Zhen Huan was obviously much more cautious. She asked worriedly, "But, will this break the rules?"

Cui Jinxi smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, my lady, it's just breaking off some branches, it's nothing."

"That's good."

Seeing that there was a solution, Liuzhu rushed to the yard and said, "Young Master, please sit down. I will go and pick some branches."

Xiao Yunzi naturally didn't want to let Liuzhu go alone, so she quickly followed her out. Zhen Huan heard the laughter of several people coming from the yard from inside the house, and she felt much more relaxed.

Liuzhu called out to Xiao Yunzi, "Xiao Yunzi, hold on to this tree. I will jump up and break off some branches from it."

"Okay," Xiao Yunzi held the whole tree, "Miss Liuzhu, you break it off."

Liuzhu squatted down and jumped onto the tree with all his strength. However, he jumped a little off and pulled the tree crooked when he pulled the branch.

Xiao Yunzi wanted to straighten the tree, but suddenly he found something under the tree. He picked it up carefully and asked, "What is this?"

Liuzhu was also very surprised when she saw it, but they didn't know her, so she had to go inside and call Aunt Jingxi. Jingxi was surprised when she took the thing handed over by Xiaoyunzi.

She had been in the palace for many years, and although she had not experienced much, she had seen a lot. She wrapped the thing in a handkerchief and smelled it, and she knew what it was.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Zhen Huan was about to take it over to have a look. When Cui Jinxi saw Zhen Huan was about to take it, she immediately dodged it and said, "My lady, you can't touch this. This is musk."

"Musk?" Zhen Huan was horrified. Even if she had never seen it, she had heard of musk. It was something that girls should try not to touch.

"Why is there musk in Suiyuxuan?"

Jinxi also looked at Xiao Yunzi, "Xiao Yunzi, where did you find this thing?"

"Aunt Jinxi, I found this under the crabapple tree."

Jing Xi looked at Zhen Huan, "My lady, let's go out and take a look."

Several people came under the crabapple tree. Zhen Huan looked at the tree carefully and suddenly remembered that the crabapple tree had not bloomed since she came to Sui Yuxuan.

"Jinxi, do you think this crabapple tree won't bloom because there's musk buried under it?"

Xiao Yinzi in the room over there saw that everyone had come to the yard, so he also came over to watch the fun, "Xiao Yunzi, what are you doing?"

Xiao Yunzi was dissatisfied with Kang Luhai's group and was not very polite to Xiao Yinzi. He pushed Xiao Yinzi away and said, "Go away, don't you see we are busy?"

Xiao Yinzi usually hangs out with his master Kang Luhai, he has a silly personality and the reason he became Kang Luhai's apprentice is because he is silly but obedient, he usually smiles at everyone, so he doesn't care about Xiao Yunzi pushing him.

Instead, he watched the fun with great interest, "Let me see, let me see."

After Xiao Yinzi squeezed in, he saw the crabapple tree and said happily, "It is said that Concubine Fang loved crabapples very much in the past, so the Suiyu Pavilion where she lived was planted with crabapple trees. But why is there only this one crabapple tree left?"

Zhen Huan immediately felt something was wrong, "Xiao Yinzi, are you saying that the person who lived here before was Concubine Fang?"

Xiaoyinzi nodded, "Yeah."

"What about Concubine Fang? Why didn't I hear any news about her when I entered the palace?"

"My lady, that Concubine Fang had a miscarriage and was banished to the cold palace a long time ago. Of course you don't know."

"Cold Palace?" Zhen Huan took two steps back and leaned on the railing. She roughly knew what was going on.

"My lady, it's cold now, let's go back to the house." After saying this, Jin Xi carefully helped Zhen Huan back to the house.

When Jin Xi saw Zhen Huan sitting down, she was about to leave, but she found Zhen Huan pulling her sleeve.

Cui Jinxi squatted down and asked in a low voice: "My lady, do you have anything to say?"

Zhen Huan was a little dazed, "Jinxi, do you think Concubine Fang knows the reason for her miscarriage?" Without waiting for Jinxi to answer, she continued to answer, "I'm afraid Concubine Fang doesn't even know who harmed her!"
