Chapter 124 Trading
"There are too many people here. I hope Guard Xu will do me the honor of having a cup of tea."
As Nan Xiang said this, she ordered Xiao Benzi to wipe Xu Ziang's body.
As soon as Xu Ziang smelled the odor in the wooden barrel, he understood everything. He did not resist and let the small notebook wipe his body.
……
Listen to Xuetang.
Lily had just walked along Chaoyue Road when she saw a handsome man in a guard's uniform standing outside the Wangyue Palace.
Her eyes flickered slightly when she saw this, and she felt as if she had discovered something extraordinary.
He immediately leaned against the wall and began to peek.
However, she didn't dare to get too close, nor could she move around and make any noise, so she could only stand there, leaning against the wall and observing silently.
'Who is this man in front of Concubine Shu's palace?'
Lily looked at the man and his tone seemed a little angry, but she didn't hear the voice clearly.
Judging from the shape of his mouth, it seems like he is scolding.
Nanxiang's voice was even quieter, and she couldn't bear to hear it at all.
"Go in!"
Lily screamed and immediately covered her mouth. She looked around and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no one there.
She quickly pretended to pass by the door of Wangyueju, looked inside, but didn't see anything.
There was only a eunuch standing guard at the door.
I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
She didn't dare to stay any longer, so she rushed towards Tingxue Hall without stopping.
He wanted to pass this news to his master Su, as this was a great opportunity to overthrow Concubine Shu.
……
Wangyue lives in the courtyard.
Juping leaned sideways and whispered into Song Nanxiang's ear.
"Your Majesty! Lily from Tingxue Hall just passed by the door of Wangyueju. She looked inside and must have seen Guard Xu."
"Yes. I understand. Let her be. Su Shi wouldn't dare to tell anyone."
Nan Xiang nodded calmly after hearing this. There were many people in the harem and she certainly didn't believe that no one had seen it.
But Xu Ziang was so rude every time he came to Wangyueju, which really made her unhappy.
"I wonder if Guard Xu has thought it through?"
Nan Xiang showed some impatience between her eyebrows. She glanced at Xu Ziang and asked softly with the corners of her mouth curved.
"Humph! Don't think I don't know what you're up to."
Xu Ziang snorted lightly, with a hint of arrogance as if he had been seen through.
"Guard Xu, do you know that you, as a guard with a sword, came to this palace alone and were discovered? If the things between you and Song Wanru were revealed, it would not be something I could control..."
There was a faint smile on Nanxiang's lips, with a hint of sarcasm.
However, she found Xu Ziang's arrogant attitude when asking for help very funny.
When you ask for help from others, you should show the attitude of asking for help.
Nanxiang doesn't necessarily need to know the information in Xu Ziang's head, but Xu Ziang really needs Nanxiang's treatment now.
After hearing this, Xu Ziang's expression changed from bright to dark, and he couldn't help but think that something was wrong.
He was indeed a little hasty this time and even forgot to observe his surroundings.
The look he gave Nanxiang became somewhat apologetic.
"Okay! Forget it this time. It was just seen by a personal maid next door. You can find a chance to solve it yourself. I can't focus on this."
Nanxiang looked at Xu Ziang with a smile and said.
"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
Xu Ziang nodded.
"Well! It's getting late. The deal between us is not complete yet."
Nanxiang put away her playful smile, straightened her face and said.
"I don't know, Concubine Shu wants to know the information above?"
Xu Ziang picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"The more you know about Concubine Xian, the better. Your Wanru will get better faster."
……
Listen to Xuetang.
Lily rushed back to Tingxue Hall in panic.
Under the puzzled gazes of the palace maids and eunuchs, she arrived at the inner hall.
She first slowed down her rapid breathing, then slowly came to Su.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Su put down the embroidery in her hands and glanced at the lily in front of her.
"My Lady! I have made an incredible discovery."
Lily said this with a slightly happy tone, looking at Su with eager eyes.
It was as if she saw her young lady's rapid rise to prominence in the near future.
"What on earth is going on?"
After hearing this, Su also became very interested. The only thing that made Lily so excited and flustered now was the things happening in Wangyueju next door.
"It is very likely that Concubine Shu is having an affair with a palace guard!"
Lily said this with her eyes wide open, making the matter sound extremely serious, with a hint of caution between her brows.
After hearing this, Su's brain froze for a while, and he lost hold of the needle and thread in his hand, and blood came out from the needle tip.
"Yeah! It's bleeding!"
Su quickly put his finger into his mouth.
"Is your wife okay?"
"Nothing! Just a prick of the needle."
Su frowned and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Plus, there was blood just now, which might be a bad omen.
"What did you just say? Say it again?"
Su recalled what Lily had just said that shocked her so much, and asked again uncertainly.
Lily smiled and repeated, "When I passed by Wangyue Residence just now, I saw a guard with a sword entering Wangyue Residence."
Lily deliberately lowered her voice, not wanting to be heard by the palace maids and eunuchs outside.
It should be noted that the most taboo in the palace is for palace maids and concubines to have affairs with guards, as these are things that bring shame to the royal family.
There is only one outcome for this kind of thing, and that is death.
After hearing this, Su's heart started beating abnormally and she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
"Did anyone else see this?"
Su took Lily's hand and asked, staring at her intently.
"It was only me, a servant. But the maids and eunuchs in Wangyueju should have seen it."
"Okay! Just keep this to yourself. Just pretend you didn't see anything. But do you understand?"
Su spoke to Lily cautiously, with a strong sense of warning in his voice.
Lily frowned after hearing this, not understanding Su's behavior at all.
She thought that since she had discovered Concubine Shu's secret, she should expose it in one fell swoop, so why should she help her hide it?
"My lady! Why is this happening? I don't understand!"
"Why don't you tell the emperor about this?"
"I'm doing this for the entire Listening Snow Hall. The concubine and the guard having an affair is not something that can be said with words. If we can't produce actual evidence, it will be a capital crime for us informants. Especially since that person is a noble concubine!"
As Su spoke, her face turned a little paler, and her gaze towards Lily became more serious.
"This slave knows it!"
After hearing this, Lily staggered a few steps in fear.
……
Wangyueju.
At this time, Nanxiang was eating snacks under the pavilion in the courtyard, thinking about the information about Concubine Xian that Xu Ziang provided to her.
It turns out that there was another hidden reason why the emperor married the virtuous concubine Huang.
It's just that Concubine Xian loves the Emperor, so this can be considered as fulfilling her wish.
Of course, the most important thing is that Nanxiang learned the most important information about Concubine Xian at this time.
In exchange, she wrote a prescription for treating typhoid cough to Xu Ziang.
She was not worried that Xu Ziang would do something to her. As long as Song Wanru was not well, Xu Ziang would always be able to ask her for help.
