Chapter 378
He held a jade pendant in his hand, and his expression was filled with anger.
This time, due to Hongli's private instructions, she did not live with Zhaopin in the garden.
Instead, he was free and lived alone in a courtyard behind Quyuan Fenghe.
There is a pond in front of the courtyard. The breeze brings a bit of coolness, which seems to reduce a little of the scorching summer heat.
Jingyao saw that Guiren looked unhappy and roughly guessed the reason.
Waving a fan for the other party, she said, "My lady, I heard that the emperor often takes a few eunuchs around him to stroll in the garden recently. They are bored all day long. If my lady doesn't feel tired, why don't you go out for a walk too?"
He Guiren lazily shook his handkerchief and said, "Even if I met the emperor, so what? Can I become a concubine just because of his favor?"
"Princess Zhao has been promoted to the head of the Yikun Palace. Even if I am favored, I still have to hide under her."
"If I'm favored now, wouldn't that just make it easier for her to torture me later?"
Jingyao smiled.
"My lady, a single favor naturally doesn't allow you to advance in rank, but what if you're pregnant?"
He Guiren was stunned.
Subconsciously turning to look at Jingyao, "If it were so easy to get pregnant, would I have waited until today?"
"My lady, we are now in the garden, so the communication with the outside world is simple. Yesterday, the Second Madam sent a message in..."
He Guiren frowned. "Second Madam? She sent a message to me? Her daughter is in the Forbidden City now. What does it have to do with me?"
"Don't be impatient, my lord."
Jing Yao soothed her and continued, "The Second Madam said that now that Miss Yi has been released from the cold palace, she doesn't ask for Miss Yi to be favored, but only hopes that if Miss Yi becomes the mistress of a palace in the future, she can take care of Miss Yi."
"If you are willing to accept it, she has found a fertility-enhancing prescription that can help you get pregnant."
After Jingyao finished speaking, a glimmer of hope flashed in Guiren's eyes.
Then he became alert.
"Jingyao, who are you working for?"
With just these few words, Jingyao stopped fanning herself.
Then she knelt down and said, "My lord, I am your servant. You are my only master in this life. I have no second thoughts. Please understand my lord."
"It's just that today the young lady mentioned Zhaopin's promotion, and I was worried that the young lady would be tortured by her, so I told her this."
"I just don't want the young lady to be wronged. I have no other thoughts."
After Jingyao finished speaking, she bowed her head.
His body was still trembling slightly.
It seems that he feels very aggrieved because of the misunderstanding with the noble person.
Originally in the Fucha Mansion, the eldest lady had a lot of spies.
Jingyao is the only one who once served He Guiren's mother and still survived.
It can also be said that he is the only person in this world that the noble man trusts.
The reason why he suddenly attacked at this moment was that the other party had mentioned today that he should take care of Fu Cha Yixin, but he didn't realize it for a while.
At this moment, several thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he bent down and stretched out his hand.
"Well, I just said it casually, but it's my fault that you got so scared. Hurry up and get up. If others see us, they'll think there's some big rift between us, master and servant."
"It's all my fault, my lady, please don't say that. It really humiliates me."
Jingyao kowtowed again before standing up as she was told.
Then she added, "My lady, I am thinking of you. It was fine when I was at home before, although life was a little harder, but at least my life was not in danger."
"But now that I've entered this harem, I'm worried every day."
"This servant is devoted to the young lady. I think that if the young lady also has a child, her position will definitely be stable. How can the other wives, such as the first and second wives, dare to look down on the young lady like they did before?"
"Perhaps by then I will rush to beg for your grace, my lady, and you will be able to truly live for yourself, and I will not disappoint your mother's trust..."
Every word Jingyao spoke was sincere.
