Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

There was a fire burning in Huayi's heart. The Crown Prince's Consort was the legal wife, and she was just a maid, so naturally she could not compare to her.

But Chu Yanluo is just a concubine. Why should she be the only one to enjoy the prince!

She walked to the door of Xingheyuan, but did not go in with Mo Ji, but walked straight forward.

Mo Ji stood at the door, and with the help of moonlight and snow, he saw that Hua Yi was walking in the direction that seemed to be the courtyard where Ye Lingyun lived.

Why was she going to Ye Lingyun's yard so late?

Huayi didn't know that Mo Ji was looking at her, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care. After all, it was impossible for her to hide her trip to see Ye Lingyun from everyone in the mansion.

Ye Lingyun was having two maids massage her legs. She was a little surprised to see Huayi coming. "Miss Huayi, why are you here? But the prince has news about my father and asked you to pass it on?"

Huayi shook her head: "No, Miss Ye, the prince has not received any news about your father. I came here to tell you that the prince has caught a cold and has a high fever."

"What? The prince is sick? No one told me this. I'll go see the prince right now."

Ye Lingyun was about to stand up, but Huayi held her back: "Miss Ye, you don't have to go. The prince is not in the courtyard."

Ye Lingyun was stunned: "Isn't the prince sick? Why is he not in the yard? Miss Huayi, please don't lie to me!"

"I didn't lie to you. The prince is really not in the courtyard. He is with Concubine Chu. Concubine Chu is also sick. The prince is worried about her, so he went to her courtyard to accompany her."

Huayi looked apologetic and said, "You see, the prince is ill, and Aunt Chu is also ill, so the prince may not be able to take care of Miss Ye's father for a while. But don't worry, when Aunt Chu recovers, the prince will naturally be willing to help you."

Ye Lingyun's face suddenly turned ugly: "How can this be? If Aunt Chu's illness never gets better, will the prince always stay with her? No time to take care of me? My father is wrongfully imprisoned and tortured all day long, and he may be beheaded at any time. We can't afford to delay!"

"This... there is nothing we can do about it. Miss Ye's father is a lucky man, and nothing will happen to him. Don't worry too much. The prince is kind-hearted, and he will definitely help you when he is free."

Ye Lingyun had also been to the Criminal Court. The people there were inhumane. She was released only because she was a woman. The people from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple felt that they would not be able to get anything out of her by interrogating her, so they were too lazy to waste time on her.

She didn't believe that good fortune would come to those who are lucky. The amount of money her father embezzled was too huge. If he wasn't rescued, he would definitely die!

Besides her father, her brother is also in prison, and she must rescue him as well.

"No, I have to go find the prince!"

Huayi stopped her and said, "Miss Ye, it's so late, it's not appropriate for you to go to the prince. The prince and Aunt Chu may have gone to bed. Otherwise, why don't you go to the prince after dawn tomorrow!"

Ye Lingyun was extremely anxious, fearing that Xiao Qingyuan would fall into the arms of love and forget about her.

She took out a banknote from her sleeve and put it into Huayi's hand: "Miss Huayi, thank you for making this trip. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know that Aunt Chu was ill. Since she is ill, I should go see her. After all, she is the first one to come and see me since I came to this palace. I am a person who knows how to repay kindness."

Huayi took the banknote and did not stop her.

She watched Ye Lingyun and her maid hurried out, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. Did Chu Yanluo think that she could monopolize the prince just because she was sick? The prince was no longer hers alone!

As she walked towards Xingheyuan, she unfolded the banknotes and looked at them.

Then she paused slightly, the silver note Ye Lingyun gave her was worth fifty taels!

This was too generous. Was it because Ye Lingyun had always been so generous, or was it because Ye Lingyun wanted to bribe her?

But no matter what the reason was, the daughter of a county magistrate gave her maid fifty taels of silver as a reward. Doesn't this just prove that County Magistrate Ye was really a corrupt official?

Huayi felt that Ye Lingyun would not stay in the palace for long. As long as it was proven that County Magistrate Ye was corrupt, she would soon be kicked out of the palace by the prince.

Qingwu Courtyard.

Because of Xiao Qingyuan's arrival, the two maids Honglian and Ziteng became very attentive, making tea for him and bringing him snacks.

Chu Yanluo was lying on the bed, watching the two maids trying to please Xiao Qingyuan, feeling very disgusted.

Unfortunately, she could no longer drive away any maid as she wished like before, because this maid was no longer hers, and more importantly, Xiao Qingyuan no longer loved her unconditionally.

Her face was pale, and she pulled Xiao Qingyuan's sleeve and refused to let him go: "Thank you for coming to see me, my lord. You are still sick, and I feel really bad about it. My lord, come to bed, lie down and get some sleep."

Xiao Qingyuan had already slept for a whole day. He felt a little uncomfortable due to a cold and high fever, but he was not sleepy.

"Shen Wantang has already checked my illness and I'm fine. But you haven't asked the imperial physician to check your illness yet, so why don't I send someone to get an imperial physician for you!"

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with my body. I just knelt all night and the cold air has penetrated my body and my bones are a little sore!"

Chu Yanluo coughed twice, not too hard or too soft, and then said, "Your Highness, there is no need to invite an imperial physician for me. If you are really worried about me, just ask the Crown Prince's Consort to take my pulse and prescribe a simple prescription."

After kneeling down to Shen Wantang last time, Chu Yanluo felt that he had lost all his dignity and face, so he wanted to step on Shen Wantang again whenever he got the chance.

If Shen Wantang could be allowed to come and see her late at night, wouldn't that be a slap in her face?

However, Xiao Qingyuan refused: "Shen Wantang is the prince's consort of the palace, and the mistress of the house. It is not in accordance with the rules to ask her to treat you and prescribe medicine. She is not a doctor."

Chu Yanluo was shocked. He didn’t say this before!

Whenever she was sick in the past, he would ask Shen Wantang to treat her without a second thought, and treated her as a doctor without any hesitation.

Why are you holding her like this now?

She was extremely angry in her heart, but she could only say: "I just said it casually, I didn't mean anything else. You know me, I speak my mind and say whatever comes to my mind."

"I always feel that we are all family, so I want to save trouble and ask the Crown Prince's Consort to help me take a look, so as to avoid mobilizing a large number of people to invite the imperial physician and alarm the prince and princess."

"Besides, the prince's monthly salary has been cut off, and now he has no money to spend. It will cost a lot of money to hire a royal doctor, so forget it! I'm fine, really, I should be fine after a few days of rest."

Xiao Qingyuan was a little uncomfortable for a moment when he saw how sensible and considerate she was.

When did she ever think about him like this?

Has she started to learn how to save money now?
