Jiaochu

When He He came to report to Concubine Lan, Concubine Lan's face was still covered with ointment. Concubine Xiao had hidden a pair of scissors in her sleeve when she came to Weiyang Palace to cause trouble. Fortunately, Gui'er was strong enough to pull her away in time, and she had already applied three ointments. After four days of ointment, the scar has become lighter.

Hearing that Ye Lingxi was coming to say hello, Concubine Lan was both happy and uneasy, fearing that her face would scare her. When Ye Lingxi came over, she did not enter the house. Instead, she greeted her at the door and waited for her mother-in-law's decision. Then Zhu'er came over and took her inside.

The mother and daughter talked across the screen. Ye Lingxi said that her eyes were healed, and Concubine Lan also said that the ointment prepared by Dr. Han was particularly effective and that she would be fine in two days.

"I want to see my mother-in-law. No matter what she looks like, she will always be the most beautiful in my heart," she said.

Concubine Lan asked her to come in and wanted to see how her eyes were doing. Seeing the ointment on her mother's face, Ye Lingxi asked if it still hurt. Lan Fei shook her head and said it didn't hurt anymore. She asked about her eyes again, and she said it was fine. Concubine Lan held her hand and said, "The past is in the past. Although the noble concubine made mistakes, your second brother has been good to you since he was a child. These mothers and concubines have seen it. These days, your father has not treated you well." After eating a meal, I have lost a lot of weight. Your Highness is the only child of the imperial concubine. I still have you and Jin Nian. As long as you are safe and sound, let the past go by. Life will still be the same. Look forward.”

Facing the sincere eyes of her mother-in-law, she nodded.

The imperial kitchen brought lunch, and the mother and daughter had lunch together.

After seeing Ye Jinnian, Ye Lingxi went back with He He and Bell. After that, she asked Lingdang to find Xiao Anzi again and asked about her father. Xiao Anzi said, "Since His Highness the Second Prince passed away, the Emperor has been extremely grieved. He can't eat, can't sleep well, and has been shut down every day. I was dealing with official business in the imperial study. I didn’t see anyone except to see Empress Lan and His Highness. The empress came several times to persuade the emperor to take care of himself, but the emperor didn’t see her. The princess wanted to persuade the emperor, so she had better wait for two more days. Yesterday The Third Highness went to persuade him, but was reprimanded by the Emperor, saying that His Highness did not go to the military camp to train troops all day long. His Highness came out with a slumped face and immediately went to the military camp. The servants got angry at whoever the Emperor caught now. Only when I see His Highness, I feel better. Princess, don't worry, Your Majesty has never seen any big storms. After waiting for a while, you will naturally be fine."

She scratched the tea cup on her hand and took a slow sip. The tea entered her throat and she didn't know what it tasted like.

Xiao Anzi continued: "The emperor is also upset these days. The ministers in the court are asking the emperor to re-establish the crown prince every day. His Highness is the eldest son, so naturally it should be His Highness. However, Master Zheng disagrees and even takes the fire into account. On His Highness's head, the Third Highness was so angry that he argued with him for a few words. Master Zheng then said that the Third Highness was also involved and that the two Highnesses had colluded with him. The Third Highness turned pale with anger and almost rushed to fight him. After a fight, the emperor asked Mr. Zheng to go back and think about his mistakes behind closed doors. If he talks nonsense again, he will be dismissed from his position."

She looked at the tea in the cup, and after a while, asked, "Has Taifu Shang found it?"

Xiao Anzi shook his head and replied: "General Yan asked the Long Shadow Guards to still look for him. As long as he doesn't run far away, he will definitely be able to find him."

She asked: "Do you know who rescued him?"

Xiao Anzi replied: "I heard that this slave is a Xiyan spy lurking in the capital. I don't know the specific slave. It's General Yan who is investigating."

She took a slow sip of tea and asked Xiao Anzi to go back after asking a few more questions.

……

When the imperial dining room brought dinner, Ye Lingxi took two bites and then put down her chopsticks. She walked to the yard and watched the sunset on the horizon. Hehe came over with a cloak and put it on her. She wanted to give her some advice but didn't know. How should I persuade her? Lingdang came over with a plate of pastries and said, "Princess, please eat something more. If you are hungry at night, you won't be able to sleep." She shook her head, and Lingdang said, "If the princess doesn't want to eat, then I will." ." She said, "You can eat it." There was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, which seemed to be there but not there.

While eating the pastry, Lingdang said: "Princess, don't be sad. Even if the sky collapses, you must fill your stomach first, so that you can have the strength to hold the sky up again. Princess, try this pastry. It is a new product in the imperial kitchen." If the food is not delicious, the slave will write the name backwards." He He said, "The slave's name will also be written backwards." For the sake of both of them writing their names backwards, she picked up a piece of cake. After taking a bite of the pastry, he nodded and said it was delicious, and asked He He to try it too. He He also took a piece. Ling Ding pointed to the open space next to the swing and said that he wanted to plant a peach tree there, so that he could enjoy the cool weather in the summer. Eat peaches and kill two birds with one stone.

Swinging under the peach blossom tree felt good to Ye Lingxi.

Late at night, both Hehe and Lingdang were fast asleep, and she quietly left the dormitory.

The moonlight was cool, and the stars were blocked by clouds, leaving only a few scattered stars, which did not shine very brightly above the head.

The guards guarding the door were also a little sleepy. Suddenly there was some movement in the shadow of the trees on the right, which immediately attracted the attention of the two guards. A figure quietly climbed over the wall and entered.

The lights were on in the room, and the candlelight swayed slightly on the windows.

The figure sneaked into the courtyard, and before he got close to the dormitory, he fought with another figure. After just one move, he was overpowered by the other figure and put a hidden weapon on his neck.

She has neglected martial arts training in the past few years, and head-on competition is indeed not her strong suit.

A green dress reflected in the light from the window.

Seeing that it was Ye Lingxi, Lu Yu immediately took back her hand, apologized, and said, "Your Majesty is not asleep yet. If the princess comes to see your Majesty, I will inform you first." She waited in the yard, and Lu Yu went into the room to report. After a while, Luyu came out and asked her to come in.

Concubine Xiao leaned crookedly on the couch. When she saw Ye Lingxi, she gouged her out with an eye hook and said sarcastically, "Did you sneak up here in the middle of the night just to see my jokes?" Then she sneered, "What if I If you shout now, do you think you can run away, or do you think I don't dare to kill you?" At this point, she narrowed her cold eyes.

Ye Lingxi did not speak, but looked at each other. Xiao Guifei suddenly became angry, grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at Ye Lingxi, telling her to get out, calling her a pest, she was the one who killed Ye Lingjue, and wanted to rush over to her Choking to death, looking hysterical, was stopped by Green Jade.

Ye Lingxi said coldly: "You asked Aunt Li to poison my mother and concubine before."

Concubine Xiao looked slightly surprised and sneered: "So what, do you have any evidence?" At this point, her expression suddenly changed and she sneered, "I really underestimate you. It turns out you have always known, so That's why he deliberately approached Ling'er, this idiot! How many times have I told him to stay away from you, a harmful person, but he refuses to listen. He deserves this end!"

Lu Yu advised: "His Highness is no longer here, so please stop blaming His Highness."
