Immortal of Quick Transmigration, why are you blackened again?

Chapter 16
It just so happens that Duan Xiuran has a keen mind. There are always people from the border entering Beijing in recent days, so he kept an eye out and told Emperor Rui to put more defenses in place. He is too smart and knows that His Majesty is in the palace all year round. , is the Qiqiao Festival.So he guessed that those rebels might attack on the Qiqiao Festival when His Majesty was leaving the palace, so he prepared a move in advance, mantis catching cicadas and orioles in the back, although the danger was saved, but everything was too coincidental, so Ruidi had doubts and thoughts. gap.

And the Marquis of Ding'an family, in order to preserve their prosperity and wealth, first set their minds on Lingyao, and Zhao Yi tried every means to get close to Lingyao, hoping to win a good impression, so that they could keep the prosperity of the Marquis of Ding'an's mansion by virtue of their marriage with the princess. What Lingyao said in Jinyu Pavilion completely made Zhao Yi know that he had no chance, so he took the risk and acted out.

After receiving the message, Lingyao lowered her eyes and said, "So, the emperor wanted to kill Duan Xiuran just because there might be hidden dangers?"

Erqi sighed: "When the emperor is angry, the blood will flow for thousands of miles. The princes and generals are all courtiers. Only when the power is in the hands can we overlook all living beings. Imperial power has been inviolable since ancient times. It is better to kill a hundred by mistake than to let one go." .”

After Erqi finished speaking, she fell into a dormant state. Lingyao knew that there was only so much Erqi could tell her.

But how to save Duan Xiuran without any trace?
Ling Yaoxiu frowned, and clenched her hands lightly on the table into fists. She seemed a little conflicted, but she finally made up her mind.

Before that, Lingyao went to Concubine Hui.

The formerly prosperous palace is now in dire straits. The space built of red bricks has locked up the youthful years of many young women, and ruined the lives of many people.

Lingyao stood in front of the gate of the palace. It was a midsummer scene, but for some reason, the leaves of the trees in the courtyard turned yellow and withered. It turns out that everything in this world knows how to follow the crowd. Will be a bit sarcastic.

When Lingyao stepped into the palace, all the eunuchs and maids who worked in the past were gone. Only Concubine Hui's eldest maid, Xinzhu, heard the sound and came over. When she saw it was Lingyao, she quickly saluted and said, "My maid, see you princess."

"Exemption." Lingyao said, "Where are those court ladies and eunuchs? There are so many leaves on the ground, why is no one cleaning them?! Although mother and concubine are down and out, but the status of imperial concubine is still there, how can they be trampled?! "

There was a hint of resentment in her tone, and Xinzhu was a little touched. After all, the empress's attitude towards the princess was extremely cold before, but now everyone is pushing against her, and even the slaves are slacking off. Only the princess comes to visit regardless of the past grudges.

"Although the feet are restricted, the food and clothing of the imperial concubine have not changed." Lingyao stood there, and the usually mischievous and lovely third princess suddenly had the majesty of the royal family that could not be rejected and resisted. She knew that those servants would hide In some corners of the palace, she is leisurely and content, and she also speaks for them.

"That's right, treating the noble concubine harshly is the first crime, and contempt for the royal family is an added crime!" Lingyao said, and added, "The one who lives here is the concubine of this princess. If I know this in the future Anyone in the palace who doesn't work hard and wants to know what will happen, just come and try!"

After Lingyao finished speaking, she walked out. Xinzhu hurriedly saw her off. When they reached the door, Lingyao whispered: "Sister Xinzhu, Yao'er has something to ask of me."

Xinzhu hurriedly saluted: "Princess, please speak!"

"I want you to get some jade eyebrows. Yuqiao will come to pick you up after the mother and concubine go to bed tonight."

"Don't worry, princess." Xinzhu didn't ask any questions. She knew that Lingyao would not harm Concubine Hui, and she also knew about the affairs in the palace. The less she knew, the longer she would live.

On the way back from Lingyao, Yuqiao was puzzled and said: "Princess, the imperial concubine and empress gave you the jade eyebrows in the past, but you said you didn't like it. Why are you..."

Lingyao stopped and said: "I suspect that the mother concubine was deceived."

It was night, Lingyao took Yuqiao to the imperial hospital. At this time, there were only a few people staying on duty in the imperial hospital. They saw the three princesses on the tip of His Majesty's heart from a distance. Doctor Zhang, who was about to fall asleep in a daze, immediately woke up. , went forward and said: "Third Princess, it's the three quarters of the Hai hour, why are you here?"

Yuqiao took out a bag of powder and taught him, "Don't ask if you shouldn't know! Just take a closer look, does this thing have something to make women infertile?"

Someone actually wanted to frame the smart and agile third princess? !Doctor Zhang is twenty and three years old this year. He is relatively young in the Imperial Hospital, but he must be superb in medical skills to enter this Imperial Hospital. He picked up the powder, smelled it, dipped it in some water, and said: "There is nothing wrong with it." Things that are unfavorable to women are some precious medicinal materials, which we don't have in Darui Country!"

Lingyao suddenly laughed, and said: "Thank you, Doctor Zhang, the dew is heavy at night, so go to bed earlier."

How does she smile so beautifully... Doctor Zhang thought, it was as dazzling as the only brightest star in the dark night sky when the dark clouds closed the moon.

"Third...Third princess!" Doctor Zhang unexpectedly stopped her with courage from nowhere.

Lingyao looked back, her long eyelashes flickering: "What's wrong? Is there anything else Dr. Zhang wants to tell me?"

"I...no...my...my minister!"

He stammered a bit, but Lingyao smiled: "Show me a mouthful? It's such a cute name, I remember it."

Doctor Zhang was a little dazed, watching her slender but tall back gradually melt into the night, he leaned against the door frame, and murmured: "What a beautiful princess."

Early the next morning, before dawn, Lingyao took Yuqiao and the cakes she made to Concubine Hui's palace.Compared with the last time, Lingyao was a little relieved to see that the maids and eunuchs were all performing their duties this time. When she walked to the door, Xinzhu came out to greet her and said, "See princess, wait a moment, servant girl. Go report."

"Okay." After Lingyao finished speaking, after a while, Xinzhu said: "Princess, please come in."

"Wait here for me." Lingyao took the food box from Yuqiao and walked in.

Now that the sun has come out, the morning light is faint and golden, illuminating a corner of the room.

Concubine Hui is like a faded painting, sitting on a chair dimly, staring blankly at her haggard appearance in the bronze mirror, without any makeup or costumes, even three thousand black hairs are scattered, without pearls and hairpins .

This is very different from the mother and concubine in her memory. When she heard the sound, she didn't look back, but just smiled indifferently, with a bit of bitterness and desolation, and said: "Here we come."

"Mother Concubine..." Seeing her like this, Lingyao just felt distressed, "This is what Yao'er made by herself. Your favorite taro pastry cake. It's the first time you make it. Maybe it's a little burnt, but these It’s already the best among the bunch of defective products.”

She put the pastry on the table, sighed, and said: "Mother Concubine, I know what is in your heart. You feel heartbroken like a knife, and feel that your father is ungrateful and ungrateful, so you lose your sense of proportion. But you have Haven't thought about it...then Madam Ding'an is lying to you?"

Concubine Hui suddenly had a look in her eyes, she turned her head and looked at Lingyao in disbelief, her voice was hoarse but full of shock: "What did you say?!"

"Yao'er didn't believe that the emperor was such a cold person, so she stole your jade eyebrow and daisy powder and sent it to the Imperial Hospital. Moreover, Erchen specially found the new Imperial Physician Zhang, with this double guarantee , Even if the father ordered it before, it is useless." Lingyao said, "Doctor Zhang said that not only does this Jade Brow Dairy have nothing harmful to women, but there are also many rare and precious medicinal materials, which are the best products .”

Concubine Hui couldn't believe it when she heard these words, and hurriedly asked: "Then why hasn't I been pregnant for so many years?!"

Lingyao looked at her with distress and pity in his eyes: "Mother, concubine, don't you know that you are weak and cold, making it difficult to get pregnant? When you entered the palace, Yao'er guessed that it was indeed related to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. , My father never paid attention to your poor health and allowed you to enter the palace, probably because of the power of the Marquis Mansion. But over the years, can't you see my father's thoughts, bit by bit?"

Lingyao only felt the pain in her heart, she squatted under Concubine Hui's knees - that was the position she used to act coquettishly with the concubine, but this time she said: "You said that the father became selfish and indifferent for the sake of power, then you Just relying on one person's provocative words to completely negate him, how can you not be selfish and cold?"

She raised her head and said, "Mrs. Xu Wanyin, the Marquis of Ding'an, comes from a humble background. I'm afraid she has always been conciliatory to you. Think about it, don't her words reflect your thoughts? Are you being too protected?" Well, I was so protected by the old Marquis and so well protected by my father that I actually believed other people’s slanders!”

Lingyao originally thought that Concubine Hui would cry, be heartbroken, and regret her mistakes, but she just smiled and touched the top of her hair: "Yaoer, thank you for telling me this, so that I won't be kept in the dark all the time." Here, get into trouble."

Seeing that she seemed to be thinking about it, Lingyao said, "Mother Concubine, you are Yao'er's mother concubine, how can Yao'er see you go astray?"

She continued: "Mother and concubine, don't worry, father and emperor will leave it to Yao'er. Yao'er believes that everything will be back to normal!"

"Then Yao'er is a lot of trouble." Concubine Hui looked at her lovingly, "Yao'er has grown up, mother and concubine are very pleased - can I call you mother concubine again?"
