Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Yunling handed the medicine she brought back to Bitao and hurried into the inner room.

Cui Qiyan was sitting on the bed holding a book. When he heard her footsteps, he raised his eyelids and said, "You have been gone for so long, don't you plan to come back?"

Yunling secretly thought, she thought so. But she didn't dare to say this, so she could only apologize and said, "I have been delayed for a while as I walked all the way. Your Majesty, please calm down."

She rolled her eyes and stepped forward to pick up the tea cup on the table. It was indeed cold.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. This servant will make you another pot of hot tea."

Because he was recuperating from his injuries, he couldn't drink the usual tea, and drinking water was bland and tasteless to him, so Yunling thought about making fruit tea, but she didn't expect that he liked it quite a lot.

Cui Qiyan put down the book that he hadn't turned two pages in for a long time, and looked at her back and felt a lot calmer.

After all, Cui Qiyan's injuries were not fully healed. Cui Jun came to Chenglin Pavilion that night and talked secretly with him for more than an hour. The next day, he entered the palace early.

Years later, the emperor's body became increasingly weak and he had not gone to court for many days in a row. His heart was in turmoil, and letters asking for the appointment of the crown prince were piled on the imperial desk like snowflakes.

Since the death of the former prince, the emperor has not established a heir. There are two people who have the loudest voices today, the second prince and the fourth prince.

The second prince is the eldest among the princes. He has made many military exploits and has many supporters. However, the fourth prince was a man of worldly talent and had a reputation as a virtuous man, and was also valued by the ministers.

In this way, the civil and military officials of the DPRK were roughly divided into three factions: the second prince faction, the fourth prince faction, and the neutral faction that supported other princes or did not make a clear stance.

In fact, the two princes had their supporters before, but due to the emperor's fierce tactics, they did not dare to show it openly.

There are countless secret battles. Now at the most critical moment, people from both sides have stepped forward.

The emperor was bedridden, and all the ministers who wanted to see him disappeared. The situation between North Korea and China is becoming increasingly tense.

Despite the turmoil in the court, the people's days were still going on as planned.

King Kang's granddaughter Li Mizhen has promised to marry Pingyuanhou's only son. In early February, the Pingyuanhou Mansion will send people to Beijing to welcome him.

The eldest lady discussed with the old lady and wanted to wait until her niece came out of the cabinet before going to the Qin family to propose marriage. The old lady nodded.

On this day, Qin Fangsui came to see Qin Zheyu off at school and stopped by to visit the old lady. The old lady was worried that she would think too much, so she told her about the marriage proposal.

Qin Fangsui smiled peacefully and said, "There are no direct elders above Sui'er, so the old lady will make all the decisions."

After hearing this, the old lady felt at ease, "Don't worry, your wedding will be a smooth one."

After talking for a while, Qin Fangsui became concerned about Cui Qiyan again, "I wonder if Brother Yan's injury is getting better?"

The old lady sighed, "The doctor asked him to rest for half a month, but he went out to do things a few days ago. I also asked several times, but he only said that the injury was no longer serious, and I don't know whether he meant it or not. True or false.”

"Brother Yan is serving in the court, and he is often unable to escape. Fortunately, he is young and recovers quickly from his injuries, so you don't have to worry too much." Qin Fangsui comforted the old lady, holding her chest and saying with lingering fear, "That night It was so thrilling that I couldn’t sleep well for several nights after I went back and kept waking up from my dreams.”

"Who says otherwise?" The old lady was also afraid. "The only good thing is that with his protection, you few were not hurt."

"Yeah, when something goes wrong, Brother Yan will take me

They all pushed away. "Qin Fangsui's smile also contained something else.

At this time, Xianglan suddenly said: "The old lady doesn't know something. The prince would not have been injured. If it weren't for that..."

"Xianglan, shut up!" Qin Fangsui shouted to stop.

The old lady became even more suspicious when she saw her like this, "Let her tell her what's going on. Why was Qi Yan injured?"

"Old madam, since what happened has happened, you'd better not pursue it any further." Qin Fangsui advised her politely.

"Sui'er, please leave it alone," the old lady pointed at Xianglan, "continue talking."

Xianglan glanced at Qin Fangsui and saw that she turned away, then she said the next words.

"The prince could have escaped at that time, but in order to save the maid named Yunling, the prince was seriously injured..."

"What? There is such a thing, why didn't anyone say anything?" The old lady's expression changed.

Qin Fangsui hesitated and said, "Maybe everyone was focused on Brother Yan's injury and forgot about it. Besides, everyone knows that Brother Yan likes Yunling."

"Confused!" The old lady patted the table at her hand hard.

Qin Fangsui was startled and stood up quickly, "Don't be angry with Brother Yan, otherwise it will be Sui'er's fault. Brother Yan will definitely blame me. I shouldn't tell you this."

Xianglan knelt on the ground, "This is all a mistake made by this servant. Madam, please don't blame my girl."

The old lady calmly said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Sui'er doesn't have to worry. Qi Yan won't know what we say here today."

"Thank you, madam, for your consideration," Qin Fangsui said hesitantly, "Sui'er also wants to ask for a favor for Yunling, can you please not embarrass her?

She plays an important role in Brother Yan's heart. If she is punished, Brother Yan will also be sad. "

The old lady took her hand over, patted the back of her hand and said earnestly: "Silly boy, you are too kind-hearted. You are still young and don't know that some things cannot be tolerated. I will make the decision for you, so just Leave it alone."

Seeing that she seemed to understand, the old lady shook her head. After all, she was still a girl who had not left the court and did not understand the hidden dangers of this matter.

The old lady had something to worry about. She had to do something for Sui'er and for the peace of her eldest grandson's future home.

After coming out of Dingguo's mansion, Xianglan helped Qin Fangsui get into the carriage.

When the carriage made a rumble as it moved forward, Xianglan whispered: "Girl, is that okay if I just said that?"

Qin Fangsui nodded: "You did a good job."

Xianglan breathed a long sigh of relief, "Looking at what the old lady wants, I'm afraid she's going to punish that maid severely. She deserves it too. Who allowed her to cause the prince to be so seriously injured?"

Qin Fangsui smiled and said nothing. The night of the Lantern Festival made her realize one thing. Yunling's weight in brother Yan's heart was heavier than she thought, so much so that the envy and jealousy in her heart grew wildly.

In a critical moment, he left her, the person he was about to be engaged to, and even his own safety to save a maid. This was something she never expected.

She originally thought that she would be his legitimate wife from now on, and Yunling would be just a concubine. She would have the final say whether she was round or flat, and he would never go beyond her. But that night made her realize that she was oversimplifying things. If she allowed Yunling to be her concubine, she, as the head wife, would probably be criticized behind her back in the future.

Brother Yan promised her that he would give her the honor that a legitimate wife should have

, she believed it until she saw the scene where he held Yunling tightly in his arms. From that moment she knew that it would be difficult for her to replace Yunling's place in his heart. Perhaps even he underestimated Yunling's importance in his heart.

Qin Fangsui could imagine that if she had a conflict with Yunling after getting married to him, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not side with Yunling. This was something she was absolutely not allowed to see. And she suddenly realized that she was also a greedy person. In the past, she only wanted the position of Prince Dingguo's wife, but now, she hoped that he would treat her the same way he treated Yunling.

How happy it must be to be protected by such a man with your life.

Maybe without Yunling, as time goes by, she will win his heart. After all, except for appearance, she believed that she would never be inferior to Yunling.
