[30] Keep everyone around you safe
Hearing this, Leng Hanxue tapped her fingers on the table very regularly, as if she was composing beautiful music with her fingers. After a long while, cold words came out of her thin lips. "Then let her kneel down!" Decisively, and
Without any discussion.
Aunt Xiangling saw that she was so determined, and knew that it was not appropriate for her to say anything. After all, she had only been with the queen for a short time, and she didn't know her temperament, so she naturally didn't dare to take the risk. "Yes."
"Aunt Xiangling." Just when Aunt Xiangling was about to withdraw and persuade Chu Chu to leave, Leng Hanxue suddenly spoke. "How long have you been in the palace?"
Although Aunt Xiangling was surprised at the intention of Leng Hanxue's question, she still replied respectfully: "To the queen, I entered the palace at the age of nine, and now I am twenty-three years old, which means it has been fourteen years."
"Fourteen years... I must have served many masters, so I have seen a lot of the harem affairs, and have a thorough understanding of it, right?"
"I don't dare, slave."
"Auntie, please rest assured. I am just chatting with you. Auntie, there is no need to be too formal." Leng Hanxue said with a smile. In her heart, she respects Aunt Xiangling. Because she is not like everyone in the harem.
She looked at her as a joke when it came to her stay in Longxiao Palace. On the contrary, she treated her with a very respectful attitude. She could not find anything wrong or disrespectful in her daily work. As far as Leng Hanxue was concerned, Xiang Ling
To be able to do this, she either has a thorough understanding of the situation in the harem, or she sticks to her duties and ignores the disputes in the harem.
"Yes." Aunt Xiangling lowered her eyebrows and blessed her body.
"In Aunt Xiangling's opinion, what kind of girl is Chu Chu? To be more precise, what kind of palace maid is she?"
"Returning to the Queen, I don't often come into contact with Chu Chu. Because of your relationship, the opportunities for me to come into contact with her have become more frequent in the past few days. I believe that Chu Chu is a loyal servant who protects his master and will never be dissatisfied with his master.
Otherwise, she would not go to Longxiao Palace again and again just to see you, the Queen."
"In your opinion, what kind of master am I?" Leng Hanxue did not comment on the Chu Chu in her mouth, but asked again seemingly casually.
"I dare not speak nonsense."
"Aunt Xiangling must think in her heart that I am a master who does not protect the people around me. Just like the recent rumors in the harem, I am ruthless, insidious, and vicious."
"I don't dare." After hearing Leng Hanxue's words, Aunt Xiangling immediately knelt down.
"What's wrong with Aunt Xiangling? Get up!" Leng Hanxue waved her hand. "Aunt Xiangling, just because you have been in the palace for many years and have seen all kinds of harem affairs, do you think that with the current situation in this palace,
Are you able to keep the people around you safe?"
After Aunt Xiangling stood up, she kept standing with her head bowed. It wasn't until Leng Hanxue said these words that she slowly raised her head and met her eyes. At this moment, she seemed to understand Leng Hanxue's intention.
intention.
"Protector Chu Chu, why don't I know this?" Leng Hanxue stood up from his seat, walked to the window sill, and looked in the direction of Feng Qing Palace. "Just because she was too protective of the Lord, I didn't dare to
Keep her by your side, do you understand? That night in Feng Qing Palace, you were not there, you didn’t know. Chu Chu was slapped by the people around Concubine Qian in order to defend me. When I saw her, her cheeks
She is already red and swollen, but she still wants to tell me that she is fine. Today is just a slap in the face, what if in the future it is to protect me that she is killed?"
"The Queen has such thoughtful ideas that I, the slave, cannot even think of myself."
