Chapter 309 Pretend to be sick
The lunch that day, Huifei was so happy that she ended up in a hurry.
Madam Xia helped her walk back and met Sang Er head-on.
Sang Er held a large bouquet of hibiscus flowers, and his smile was bright and breathtaking.
She greeted Concubine Hui, and Concubine Hui stopped and asked her: "I heard you went to the palace yesterday? Is there any news in the palace?"
"I was just ordered to deliver things to Princess Duanmin and Wen A Niang, and I didn't hear any news." Sang Er smiled sweetly.
When Huifei heard her mention Wen Mingqian, she said, "You call her mother, but did you grow up with her since childhood?"
Of course, Sang Er would not tell the truth to her, but just shook his head and said, "I am the girl she bought after returning to the capital. But for some reason, I couldn't help calling her mother as soon as I saw it."
"That's because you have a fate," said Hui Fei. "Now you are here and she is in the palace. If you don't meet often, you must miss her, right?"
Concubine Hui knew that the reason why the eldest princess said something that was covered with clouds today was that Sang Er went into the palace yesterday and brought Wen Mingqian back.
"Of course I think about it. I also said, it would be great if Wen's grandmother was outside the palace as before." Sang Er's smile did not diminish, but her eyes seemed to look at Hui Fei with a meaningful look, "I really hope that a noble person can fulfill my thoughts."
After Sang Er left, Concubine Hui took two more steps forward before saying to Madam Xia, "Did you hear what the girl said just now?"
"They have ambitions of master and servants! They are not satisfied when they are serving the Empress, and they actually want to leave the palace for free." Madam Xia said coldly, "The Empress's concerns do make sense."
"It's really a tree that wants to keep the wind calm," Huifei sighed, "Why is it so uneasy?"
"My lady, don't worry, they just showed signs now. As long as we find a way to deal with it, they will not be able to do anything." Madam Xia comforted Concubine Hui, "You go back and take a nap first, and I will go to the kitchen and ask them to make some food for you. I just saw that you and the eldest princess didn't eat much."
"How can I have the heart to eat?" Hui Fei said, "I can't worry about it!"
In the afternoon, Madam Xia came to the kitchen and saw Mama Zhang washing vegetables there.
She stood at the door and didn't go in, and Ma Zhang didn't look back, and was busy.
Her sleeves were rolled up very high, revealing her elbows.
Madam Xia glanced at her and couldn't help but frown. Zhang Ma has a scar on the back of her right elbow. It seems that she has been many years and the scar is old.
Logically speaking, this is nothing. Most people have some scars on their bodies. Moreover, Zhang Ma does a lot of work every day, and it is common for her to get injured.
But Madam Xia remembered that there was a birthmark behind Wei Fu's right elbow. She had seen it with her own eyes and didn't take it seriously at the time.
Now that I suddenly thought about it, I felt that the scar on Ma Zhang’s body became even more strange.
At this time, a rude woman in the kitchen walked in through the back door. Madam Xia knew that her name was Zhao Poguang.
Zhao Poguang didn't see the front door of Aunt Xia, and when he entered the door, he said to Zhang's mother: "Mom Zhang, let's go to the river to take a boat during the Dragon Boat Festival, it's so lively." "I won't go, I'm seasick." Zhang's mother said casually, "The glutinous rice over there is almost soaked. If you change the water again, we should make rice dumplings."
"We are not as swaying as small boats." The interest in breaking the basket is extremely high, "You should just relax when you are busy on weekdays."
"I can't even sit on a big boat." Zhang's mother said, "If you really have to pull me there, I will only watch the scenery on the shore."
After hearing what Zhang Ma said, Madam Xia couldn't help but feel even more suspicious. A few days ago, she asked Zhang Ma about her experience when she was young.
Zhang's mother once told her that after she escaped from her foster mother's house, she boarded a tea merchant's boat.
He worked as a maid on the boat for several months, and then he moved to a foreign land.
Since that's the case, she shouldn't be seasick, otherwise how could she live on the boat for several months? Who would allow a seasick girl to serve on the boat? Isn’t that causing trouble for yourself?
If Zhang's mother doesn't want to go out for a trip, she can try to find other excuses, but she didn't say she couldn't do anything at all. She just said she was seasick and would rather watch the scenery on the shore.
At this time, Mama Zhang turned around and happened to see Mama Xia. Mama Xia walked in naturally and said, "Old sister is busy! I came over and wanted to find something to make up for it. Our Mama was dizzy during lunch and didn't get any raw food. Now she is a little hungry again."
"There are still two snacks. If you don't dislike it, you can take it to the steamer and bring it to the empress." Zhang's mother pointed to the snacks over there and said, "If I wait for the new one, I'm afraid it will take an hour."
"This is very good." Madam Xia said as she picked up the snack. "It's not very cold yet, it's warm! Just make some hot tea when you go back."
She was in a hurry to go back and report to Concubine Hui, so she didn't have time to warm up the snacks and left with the plate.

"What? Do you think she is suspicious now?" After hearing Madam Xia's words, Concubine Hui asked anxiously.
"Yes, Empress. It's not a coincidence at all, but this coincidence makes people feel worried. And why should she lie? A person lies to cover up something. If her identity is innocent, she doesn't need to lie to me." said Madam Xia.
"I've been feeling more and more restless recently." Concubine Hui sighed heavily and said, "If it's really what I guess, it would be bad."
"What are the queen planning to do? We are on the mountain now, so it is not convenient to do anything." said Madam Xia.
"I have to find a way to go back to the palace as soon as possible." Concubine Hui had already made up her mind, "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of if you are. No matter what, I don't want Wen Mingqian to enter the Dong family."
"The Empress said it well. Don't worry about whether she is a human or a ghost, you must first cut off her back to rest assured. How should you return to the palace at this time?" Madam Xia was a little worried, "Do you want to discuss this with the eldest princess?"
"Don't let her know, that child can't hold back." Concubine Hui quickly stopped her, "Don't you know her temper yet? A little impatience will cause trouble.
When I turned around, I pretended to be sick and handed the news back to the palace. The Queen would probably call me back.
Remember, only the two of us know about this and we can’t tell others anymore. I don’t know if the eldest princess is in the same group as them or if she is also kept in the dark. Just in case, she couldn't see the clues. ”
Concubine Hui made up her mind and started pretending to be sick on this day.
Madam Xia spread everywhere that Concubine Hui was so ill that she might not be able to live on the mountain.
Two days later, he sent someone to the palace to ask the queen for advice and asked Concubine Hui to return to the palace for maintenance as soon as possible.
