After being dressed as Wu Zetian's daughter, she was favored by the group

Chapter 89 A teardrop
"Princess, please forgive me!"

Zhao Shi who followed up helped Li Lingyue up from the ground, Gong'er took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and while wiping her tears, comforted her:

"Princess, you can't come back from death, don't be sad!"

The weeping Mrs. Zheng heard that the person who came was actually a princess. For some reason, she broke away from the hand of the royal servant. She did not salute or speak to Li Lingyue. hate.

Unconsciously, Li Lingyue walked up to Mrs. Zheng with heavy steps, and said sadly:

"Zheng Gong, can I go in and meet her?"

To everyone's surprise, Mrs. Zheng waved her hand angrily, pointed at the gate of the courtyard and angrily reprimanded Li Lingyue: "Please get out, get out!"

"Zheng Gong, you are... the princess is on a special trip..."

Before Waiter Wang finished speaking, Mrs. Zheng became more and more emotional, pushing and shoving Waiter Wang, and roared in grief and indignation:
"You all go out, all of you go out!"

Li Lingyue gritted her teeth tightly and did not say a word. She came in a hurry and did not change into a court lady's attire. Now that the identity of the princess is known by Zheng Shi, as the daughter of an enemy, how could the other party give her a good look.

As early as a year before she was born, Zheng's father-in-law, Shangguanyi, the prime minister of the dynasty, had drafted an edict to abolish the empress, but it failed. Empress Wu immediately retaliated by ordering people to frame Shangguan's family for conspiring to rebel with Chen Wang Lizhong. In the end, all the male members of the Shangguan family were executed for treason.

Among them are Zheng's husband, Shangguan Tingzhi, and his son, Shangguan Kun'er!
It was also that year that Shangguan Wan'er, who was still in her infancy, was married to Yeting with the Zheng family, and became a slave for life!

Zheng Shi's rude behavior annoyed Zhao Shi, how could she be used to a low-level servant girl from Ye Ting Palace, so she stepped forward and pushed him to the ground, and shouted loudly:
"Presumptuous, dare to disrespect the princess, don't you want to live?"

Zheng Shi sat down on the ground, opened his mouth, and finally cried out in grief and indignation!
At this time, two young eunuchs entered the yard with a straw mat in their arms. When they saw many people standing in the yard, they were dumbfounded and shouted in a high-pitched voice:

"Who is Zheng Gong? I'm here to collect the corpse, and I'm not leading the way!!"

This voice shouted, to Li Lingyue who was in grief, it was undoubtedly piercing through Wanjian's heart. She clutched her chest and tried her best not to let herself fall down.

"Crack! Crack!" Wang Shiguan stepped forward a few steps, and slapped the two young eunuchs loudly!

"You bastard with no eyes, get out of here!"

When the two young eunuchs saw that it was the steward Wang of the Yeting Palace, they dared not complain, and hurriedly left the courtyard gate covering their faces.

Li Lingyue suppressed the sadness in her heart, ignored the weeping Zheng, walked straight to the door of Wan'er's room, stretched out her trembling hand, and slowly pushed the door open.

"Don't touch my daughter!"

Zheng wailed, got up from the ground, and stopped Li Lingyue desperately.

Zhao Shi's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, he took the first step to grab Zheng Shi, and called out of the courtyard:
"Come here, take Zheng Gong down!"

The little eunuch of Fengyang Pavilion, who was guarding outside the courtyard, got the order and rushed in immediately, firmly restraining Zhao Shi who was struggling.

Zheng's grief and hatred were mixed, and he no longer had any scruples, cursing madly at Empress Wu and Li Lingyue.

At this time, Li Lingyue was already like a walking corpse, and she could not hear the slightest sound. She walked into Wan'er's room step by step with heavy steps.

The room is not big, with a square table inside, the table is empty, and there is a dilapidated wooden bed on one side of the wall, Wan'er is lying on the bed quietly, motionless.

In less than a month, her whole body had changed. Her originally beautiful cheeks and cheekbones were protruding, her skin was sunken, and she was so thin that only skin and bones remained.

On one side of her pillow was a copy of "The Book of Songs", which was the first book Li Lingyue gave her when Changting first met.

Li Lingyue staggered to the side of the bed, squatted down, tears ran across her cheeks, and fell on the bed.

Wan'er seemed to be in a deep sleep, her eyes were closed, a smile hung on the corner of her mouth, her hands were folded around her chest, and she was holding a cold osmanthus cake in her palm.

"Sister Wan'er! I... I'm back!"

Li Lingyue choked up and uttered these words, unable to restrain herself, she bent down and cried bitterly.

I don't know how long she cried, Gong'er walked into the house with a white cloth in her hand, cried and comforted her:
"Princess, please mourn, Gong'er is here to cover my sister with thatch."

According to the rules of the palace, after the death of a palace official is confirmed, they will be covered with a tarpaulin, wrapped in a straw mat, and sent to the palace for burial.

"Don't cover it!" Li Lingyue was devastated. From the beginning to the end, she couldn't accept Wan'er's death!
"Princess, Gong'er knows that you are very reluctant, but people cannot be resurrected after death, so let's send my sister one last journey!"

Gong'er knelt behind Li Lingyue, and handed the sheet of cloth into her hands.

Li Lingyue burst into tears, holding the sheet with trembling fingers, but she couldn't cover it no matter what.

Just when she hesitated to make a decision, a tear slowly flowed down from the corner of Wan'er's eyes...

Coincidentally, Gong'er looked up and wanted to continue to comfort Li Lingyue, but happened to see this scene.

"Ah!" A scream.

Gong'er seemed to be in a daze, pointing at Wan'er on the bed, showing a terrified and excited expression.

"Princess! You...you...look, my sister is crying!"

Following Gong'er's exclamation, Li Lingyue straightened up and looked towards the bedside.

Sure enough, there were tears in the corners of Wan'er's eyes!

This discovery made the hairs on Li Lingyue's whole body explode. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and put her hand between Wan'er's nose.

Soon, a weak breath spread to her fingers, which meant... Wan'er still had a breath.

"what!!!"

This time, the screams resounded throughout the room, and the person who made the sound became Li Lingyue.

Zhao Shi and Wang Shiguan, who were guarding outside the house, heard the voice and thought that something had happened, so they rushed into the house to check.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Li Lingyue holding Wan'er's hand tightly, her face was covered with tears, but her expression was crying and laughing at the same time!

"Princess, you are..."

Zhao Shi, who was full of doubts, was waiting to speak, but Li Lingyue did not give her a chance to speak, and urgently ordered:

"Zhao Shi, you rush to the Imperial Medical Office immediately and bring all the imperial doctors here! Hurry up!"

"Wang Shi, go to Cui Daizhao immediately and ask my aunt for the best tonic in the palace!"

After the words fell, the two froze on the spot, wondering whether the princess was speaking out of anger or rushed to the doctor in a hurry.

Wang Shiguan quickly asked his own question: "Princess! Could it be that Wan'er can still be saved?"

Gong'er on the side answered first: "Yes! Mother, this sister is still alive!"

Zhao Shi and Wang Shiguan glanced at each other, understood instantly, and then left the room.

Li Lingyue thought of something, and turned her head to Gong'er and said! "Gong'er! You go back to Fengyang Pavilion and bring all my bedding here!"

"Ah! Princess, do you want to stay here overnight?" Gong'er asked for proof.

"Of course! I want to take care of Sister Wan'er myself!" Li Lingyue looked at Wan'er on the bed tenderly, the tenderness in her eyes was evident.

"Oh! I'm going to do it now, servant girl!" Gong'er got up and was about to do it.

"Wait!" Li Lingyue called her again, thought for a while, and said, "Go to Guanglu Temple again, and call me the best imperial chef in the palace!"

"Oh!" Gong'er felt sour in her heart, and retreated out of the room!
