Has the villain taken his medicine today?

"Ali, you... are you okay? Are you injured?" Seeing Qingli, Hu Yan quickly stepped forward, with a nervous expression, and carefully sized her up from head to toe several times.

She is very clear about Prime Minister Hu's character, but anyone who doesn't follow his will will get angry.

Qingli came back so indifferently, how could she not be worried.

"Miss, don't worry, I'm fine." Qingli smiled consolingly at Hu Yan, then turned her gaze to the maid who was still standing there.

She stepped forward and glanced at the two rotten steamed buns in the food box, her eyes turned cold.

"This is the lunch prepared by your imperial dining room?"

"Hmph, like to eat or not, how can a concubine in the cold palace be so particular about it. And you, you lowly person, dare to speak nonsense and teach me a lesson. I want to see how you teach me a lesson!"

The palace lady didn't pay attention to the servant next to the disused concubine at all. She had her hips on her hips, her words were harsh, and her expression was very arrogant.

Qingli sneered, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Hu Yan.

"Let me do it." Hu Yan looked at Qing Li and smiled softly, pursing her lips.

Even if the beautiful woman in Qingcheng only wears plain clothes, no headgear, no makeup, she reveals all kinds of amorous feelings with just a frown and a smile.She just stood there pretty and bluntly, not doing or saying anything, and everyone's eyes shifted to her unconsciously.

Even the bitter court lady couldn't help being dazed when she saw this scene, and when she came back to her senses, a bit of jealousy appeared involuntarily in her eyes.

But then he sneered again.

Even if she was born beautiful, she still came to this cold palace.None of the concubines in the cold palace can get out from here. Even if Hu Jieyu has a good skin, she can only wither in this cold palace like a flower.

The maid folded her arms, her eyes showed a bit of contempt, as if her status was even higher than Hu Yan's.

Xu Shi saw what she was thinking, Hu Yan bent her lips, but she was not angry, she just asked softly, "Are you the palace maid of the imperial dining room?"

"So what?" The maid raised her chin, her tone arrogant.

Hu Yan raised her eyebrows, her smile remained the same, but the temperature in her eyes dropped a little.

"A Li, go and invite Eunuch Zhou to come, and also call the head of the imperial dining room."

"Yes." Qingli replied, her eyes flickered, she knew Xiaomei's intentions.

"Eunuch Zhou is someone you can call if you want? Just kidding, I want to see what you are going to do." The maid didn't think so. Eunuch Zhou is a big celebrity around the emperor, and he has the advantage of taking concubines less on weekdays.

But Eunuch Zhou has been with the emperor for so many years, the emperor can still listen to what he said.

How could this Hu Yan, an abandoned concubine, be able to yell at Eunuch Zhou? She thought that Hu Yan was just bluffing and trying to scare her.

Moreover, this kind of humiliation was ordered by a nobleman, and the owner of the imperial dining room knew it well, and she was just doing things under orders.

Hu Yan didn't say a word, just sat on the stone bench without saying a word, pressed her eyelashes, and drank tea unhurriedly.

The demeanor is very leisurely and content, without any superfluous emotions.

After a while, the maid got a little impatient waiting, and she was sure that Hu Yan was putting on a show. She was about to taunt, but she heard a rush of footsteps not far away.

She turned her head abruptly, and when she saw who was coming, her pupils dilated uncontrollably, and she looked a little stunned.

Eunuch Zhou...has actually come?

Eunuch Zhou stepped forward quickly and saluted Hu Yan. His attitude was quite respectful, and the court lady was stunned again.

"Miss Jieyu, the servant has already known what happened, and made the empress feel wronged." After speaking, he turned to look at the maid with a sluggish face, his face became gloomy, and his tone was cold: "As for the offense below, I don't know. A life-and-death lowly maidservant, the slave will teach me a lesson."

The palace maid trembled, she knew what Eunuch Zhou meant, and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy: "Eunuch Zhou, the slave is wrong, but... But it is all ordered by the king, and it has nothing to do with the slave, please forgive me This servant will die!"

"Hmph, I have already ordered the lord to take [-] punishments. As for you who don't know what to do, you dare to bully Empress Jieyu, so you should know what will happen." Eunuch Zhou flicked his sleeves and didn't want to say any more. Let the servants drag down the maid who couldn't stop begging for mercy.

After the maid's crying and howling had completely disappeared, Eunuch Zhou said to Hu Yan, "I don't know if this is the case, but is the empress satisfied?"

Hu Yan didn't express anything from the beginning to the end, but just watched the farce indifferently.She is no longer as innocent as she was when she first entered the palace. If someone bullies her, she will no longer be punished pitifully.

Even if the court lady was beaten to death, she would have no mercy.

People always have to pay a price for their actions, no matter how big or small the price is, they have to bear it.

"Trouble Eunuch Zhou." Hu Yan looked at Eunuch Zhou, and said polite words with a smile.

"Doing things for the empress, how can it be troublesome. Besides, the emperor asked the slaves to take care of the empress more, shouldn't the slaves do their best?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the slave has already ordered the people below, and a new lunch will be delivered soon, and such things will not happen again in the future." Eunuch Zhou smiled.

That's right, if Hu Yan was just an ordinary abandoned concubine, of course Eunuch Zhou would not be invited, but she was not.

This trick of inviting the cold palace seems to be self-defeating, but it can be regarded as a death and a later life. At least during this period of time, she can rely on the emperor's pity for her to live a lot better.

With the emperor's secret support, she would not be bullied by these palace people.

Naturally, with Ali here, she doesn't need to worry.

But there's no need for Ali to take care of these offal.

After Eunuch Zhou left, Qingli rubbed her chin and stared at Hu Yan thoughtfully.Hu Yan looked a little embarrassed, tilted her head slightly, pursed her lower lip, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Qingli smiled, her brows and eyes soft: "Even without me, Miss can protect herself very well. I am very happy knowing this."

She has always understood that her little beauty is not a weak person, but God has never given her any good luck, and always makes her suffer some unbearable pain.

Blackening is just unbearable.

Thinking of the helpless look of the child before she disappeared in the last world, Qingli's fingertips trembled.

In fact, she knew how cruel it would be to leave a child there alone, but...

She has no choice.

Hearing this, Hu Yan also laughed, but soon she became serious, and asked worriedly: "A Li, you just came back, and you haven't completed the task yet, isn't your father angry? You still have Gu worms planted by him .”

"Miss, don't worry, Prime Minister Hu is no longer a threat to me, and the Gu insects have been expelled."

Even if Prime Minister Hu wanted to play tricks, she was sure she could handle him. What's more, she still had a big gift, waiting for the right time to present it to Hu Feng.

Qingli's smile deepened, and a sly flash flashed in her eyes, showing more vitality than she should have at this age.

"Now, Ah Li is really only Miss's secret guard." She smiled and stared at Hu Yan with focused and sincere eyes.

Hu Yan was taken aback for a moment, but soon, she bent her lips, her eyes shone with light, and her cheeks were also stained with a faint blush.

Even if she didn't say it, she could tell that she was very happy, from the inside out.

The two chatted for a while, and a new lunch was delivered. This time, it was delivered by a young lady in the palace. Perhaps she had been warned, and she was respectful from beginning to end, for fear of offending Hu Yan.

The new lunch is also very rich.

Hu Yan doesn't eat much, so she put it down after eating half a bowl, but Qingli's body consumes a lot of exercise and eats a lot, so most of the food went into her mouth.

At the moment she is still eating a piece of cake, but even if she is eating a cake, her eating manner is so elegant that it is a kind of enjoyment for those watching.

Hu Yan propped her chin with one hand, squinted her eyes at Qingli, and after watching, she suddenly pursed her lips and smiled.

"Ali seems to have changed a lot. When you first entered the palace, you were not as angry as you are now. At that time, you looked cold and rigid, and you didn't speak. Even if you said it, you just jumped out word by word. Like a cold wooden man."

Qingli was still chewing on the cake. Hearing this, she was silent for a few seconds, and then swallowed the chewed cake.

She raised her eyes to look at Hu Yan, and lowered her eyes again, which contained extremely complicated emotions.

That's right, the current her character is far from the original body's by a long time ago. What's so cold and rigid, these things can still be used freely in front of others.

But asking her to act indifferent to Xiaomei, she really couldn't do it, and telling her to stand on the sidelines and watch Xiaomei being ridiculed by outsiders, she couldn't accept it.

A long time ago, she told the system that acting is a kind of enjoyment, but when the enjoyment becomes a kind of torment, then why does she continue to act.

Qingli would never do anything that would make her feel aggrieved, even if it would harm her own interests.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little frozen, Hu Yan moved her body, feeling a little uneasy, she frowned in thought, did she say something wrong just now?

"Then... Miss, do you like me now?" Qingli asked, her eyes fixed on Hu Yan.

"I like A Li no matter what she is, but I prefer A Li's real appearance, like now." Hu Yan's brows relaxed, her voice was soft, but sincere enough.

She also thought about it, maybe Ali's previous indifference was deliberately disguised because of her identity.After in-depth contact with her, that is her truest character.

The beauty's eyes are very soft, like a piece of jade in the rough, Qingli's heart itches when she sees it.

Itches and hurts.

She squeezed her fingers, then let go.

She understood that she might have been planted.

She's not a nice person, she knows it well.

But with an easy-going and gentle face, outsiders would think that her temperament is just like that.Only those who have been in contact with her know that she is indifferent and ruthless in her bones, and she will never do unnecessary things that are not beneficial to herself, even if it is just a casual sentence for her, it can save other people's lives.

Her blood...is cold.

In the first world, she has always held a dominant position with respect to Little Poor.In fact, she has a teasing mentality towards Xiao Poor.

Just like teasing with kittens and puppies, she knew how little pity felt for her, but she didn't care at all, even the promise before leaving was just a charity-like attitude.

Leaving the plane, I don't care what will happen to the little pity.

She is really cold and unfeeling.

It can only be said that the child was very lucky to be able to meet her at that time, that she who had just entered the entertainment industry, at least there was still a bit of kindness deep in her heart.

It's quite nostalgic, Qingli almost forgot what she was like in the past, it turned out that... she can also be soft-hearted, fragile, and sometimes powerless.

For some unknown reason, she insisted on returning to the plane again.At that time, she could clearly know what she was doing, and she would calculate gains and losses.

But now, she has changed.She will care about Xiaomei's feelings, her emotions, and everything about her.

Even recalling that she was hurt by himself in the first two planes, her heart couldn't help but ache.

It's nothing like her.

Qingli has always felt that feelings are a very troublesome thing, and they must not be messed with without absolute certainty.

But in this case, even if the person she likes doesn't remember her at all, even if she doesn't know if she is a real existence.

But she also fell.

And it's as sweet as it is.

Qingli has never had such a thing as regret, even if what she did was wrong.

This time, she won't make Xiaomei sad again.

A beauty sheds tears, good-looking is good-looking, but she feels distressed, terribly distressed.

"Miss, then you must remember me, and you can't forget me." Qingli suddenly squatted down, looked at Hu Yan with a bright smile, and her eyes were dark and bright.

"Of course I won't forget." Hu Yan was a little displeased.

But the girl's smile was too hot, burning all the unhappiness in her heart of being questioned.

It even extended to the bottom of my heart, burning with fire, with some unexplainable discomfort.

Suddenly, some inexplicable.

Hu Yan frowned strangely, she raised her eyes, and unexpectedly bumped into the girl's dark pupils again.

Her appearance was reflected in the clear pupils, nothing else.

The girl looked at her intently, with soft and pious emotions in her eyes.

Hu Yan suffocated for breath, the pale pink on her cheeks spread to the back of her ears, her heart beat involuntarily and quickly, irregularly.

Maybe she was sick, she thought.

Otherwise, when I saw Ah Li, my heart would beat faster.

It's really... weird.

The author has something to say: woo woo woo, I was wrong, I will never promise again

School will start in a few days, and it will probably be even busier then.

This chapter outlines Qingli's psychological journey.
