Live up to the country

There seems to be an endless amount of laundry in Weiyi Bureau. Even on the first day of the new year, these most humble laundry maids have already washed their clothes in the biting ice water early.There was a pile of dirty clothes piled up beside Feng Lin, and he pounded the clothes with a mallet in frustration, the monotonous sound made him drowsy.

"Crack!" A whip was thrown on his back, and he screamed in pain, but he didn't dare to raise his head to tell the difference, so he quickly cheered up and accelerated the speed in his hand.On the opposite side of him, Hua Mei, Liu Ye and other court ladies from Dongling gave him a sad look, shook their heads and sighed, and continued to work.

The morning passed, and Feng Lin felt dizzy from hunger. Finally, when it was time to have breakfast, he put down the mallet and was about to get up when a pair of feet stood in front of him. When he looked up, he saw it was Xiaozhu!

"Xiaozhu!" Feng Lin was pleasantly surprised, and suddenly stood up, only to feel dark in front of his eyes, and almost fell down.

Xiao Zhu stretched out his hand to support him and said, "Be careful."

"Xiaozhu, I'm hungry. I don't have enough to eat, I don't wear warm clothes, I don't sleep enough. I work all day and get beaten. I can't take it anymore." Feng Lin grabbed Xiaozhu's hand and cried, as if Grabbed a life-saving straw.

Xiaozhu smiled slightly, and said, "I'll accommodate you later, and ask the father-in-law in charge to arrange an easier job for you."

"What about us?" Thrush and Liu Ye ran over.

Xiaozhu looked at them, then looked around, and asked in a low voice, "Where are Eunuch Wu and Eunuch An?"

"Flushing the toilet in the backyard is worse than us." Thrush replied.

"You two take me to meet them." Xiao Zhu said.

Thrushcross Liu Ye was busy leading the way, and the group came to the most remote backyard of the Lenggong Palace. Eunuch Wu Gonggong and the eunuchs from Dongling were cleaning the toilet. When they saw Xiaozhu approaching, they all stopped their work. looked up at her.

"Stand farther away." Xiao Zhu looked around the crowd and said to the little eunuchs.

"Yes." Everyone answered in unison, and retreated to the far corridor. Only Thrushcross Liuye, Eunuch Wu Gongan and Feng Lin were left in the yard.

"Please give me the princess's antidote." Xiao Zhu whispered.

"The Princess, she—"

"Hush!" Xiaozhu interrupted everyone's surprised questioning, and looked back vigilantly.

"The Princess is not dead?" Feng Lin asked Xiao Zhu's hand in a low voice, tears streaming down his face.

"Yeah! But none of you can let this news leak out. If anyone talks nonsense, I won't spare anyone!" Xiao Zhu warned with a serious face.

"We don't dare! It's good that the princess is not dead. If we die, we will never be able to return to Dongling. The family members of Dongling may also be killed by the emperor in a fit of anger because we failed to protect the princess. We dare not Do you talk nonsense?" Eunuch Wu said.

Xiaozhu nodded: "Well, you are right, who is the antidote, please give it to me quickly, so that I can deliver it to the princess before the full moon."

"Miss Xiaozhu, it is inconvenient for us to say who has the antidote now. We are all forced by the emperor and queen to do things, and it's not that we want to be unfavorable to the princess. How about this, we will put this month's antidote in one place , the specific place, can I let Feng Lin tell you?" Eunuch Wu looked at Xiaozhu in embarrassment.

Xiao Zhu looked at him for a while, then asked, "Then how many months of antidote do you still have?"

Eunuch Wu replied: "It's only a month away."

"Well, okay, then I'll go first." Xiao Zhu nodded, turned and walked out.After she went out, she found the nanny who was in charge here, gave her a piece of silver, said a few words, and went back to Cheng'en Hall.

Liu Fan was anxiously waiting for her in the hall, seeing her come back, he hurriedly asked: "How is it?"

Xiaozhu told him the specific situation.Liu Fan frowned and asked, "A month? Can we find the antidote within a month?"

"Who knows? Now Jiang Feng has brought his master's request to find his friends in Jianghu for help, but it may be impossible to find the Nether Grass within a month." Xiaozhu said worriedly.

Liu Fan frowned, and said decisively: "I'm going out of the palace! I'm going to find Nether Grass! Xiaozhu, prepare casual clothes for me to go out!"

"Your Highness! You have just returned to the palace safely, and you have to run out again. There are many dangers outside, so don't be impulsive!" Xiao Zhu looked at him anxiously.

"Hmph! So what's dangerous? Could it be that this prince is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Liu Fan sneered.Xiaozhu had no choice but to silently prepare his luggage.

"You prepare first, I'll go to Father's place and ask to leave the palace." Liu Fan hurried out of Cheng'en Palace. After Father's imperial court came down early, he must have habitually gone to Ruoxi Palace where his mother and concubine belonged. He went directly to Ruoxi Palace. As he walked, his father was indeed there. He was standing on the window sill, staring at a red plum that had just been planted in the vase in a daze.Hongmei is the favorite of Concubine Xi, Liu Fan felt a pain in his heart when he looked at his father, not only because he missed his mother, but also because he was sad for his father who missed his mother all the year round.Heaven and man are separated and never see each other, what kind of torment should that be?

He stopped the eunuch's notification, walked gently to his father, and called softly, "Father!"

"Fan'er, you're here." Liu Hongjing turned around and gave him a loving look.

"Father is missing mother and concubine again."

"Alas! The voice and appearance are still there, as if it was only yesterday—" Liu Hongjing let out a long sigh, and caressed the plum blossom sadly.

"Father, my son also misses my mother and concubine, and my son is sad, and wants to go to the Taoist temple to stay for a few days in advance, so I can accompany my mother and concubine." Liu Fan said.

Liu Hongjing looked at him, nodded in agreement, the ashes of Concubine Xi were all in Sanqing Temple, Liu Fan's request was exactly what he wanted.

"Go, father will send imperial guards to escort you along the way," he said.

"Father doesn't need to mobilize the crowd anymore. My son just wants to go to the Taoist temple quietly and bring the guards from the East Palace with him."

"But father is worried about your safety, father knows very well in his heart, who wants to put you to death."

"Okay, just send it to the foot of Biya Peak. Master hates making noise the most, please forgive me." Liu Fan said.

"Well, that's it. When are you leaving?" Liu Hongjing agreed.

"Immediately." Liu Fan replied.

"Go." Liu Hongjing looked tired, leaned on the soft couch, and waved to him.

Liu Fan gently exited the hall and hurried back to Cheng En Hall, Xiao Zhu had already got the antidote from Wei Yi Bureau and was waiting for him to come back.And their actions have been sent to King Jing's Mansion by the maid who stopped Xiao Zhu for questioning yesterday.

In Prince Jing's mansion, Liu Huo, who has been promoted to Prince Jing, is wearing a red brocade robe, and he is walking back and forth in the corridor with Princess Ma Yisha, who is also dressed festively. Yisha's face was unhappy, not at all like a delicate bride who had just finished her bridal chamber wedding night.

"You don't like me, why did you want to compete on stage? Why did you agree to marry me?" Maisha chased after a while, stopped and stomped her feet to question.

Liu Huo stood still, looked back at her coldly, and said, "If that's the case, don't shout outside, especially don't let your father hear it!"
