From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 299 Mei Linlang's Trick

Guessing that this was about to attack the Mei family, Zongzheng Mingzhen cupped his hands and saluted, "I don't dare, the March draft is to choose concubines for the emperor, my minister..."

Interrupting him with a wave of his hand, the emperor withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward, saying as he walked, "I am not choosing a concubine for me, but for the fourth and fifth princes. Both of them have reached the age of marriage, and you are older than them. At that time, let's make a good choice. The queen and mother-in-law have been worrying about your marriage these past few years, and you are getting older, so getting married earlier will save them from worrying about it."

He didn't want his beloved Mei Linlang to be sad anymore, and there was also a meaning of compensation in it, so he temporarily decided not to choose a concubine for himself.Coincidentally, the two sons have also reached the age of marriage, so there is no need to cancel to provoke criticism, let the ministers yell, just choose concubines for them.

Because apart from the crown prince's selection of concubines with great fanfare, the princes all met and ordered in private, Zongzheng Mingzhen was stunned when he heard it.He didn't expect the emperor to have such deep affection for Mei Linlang, he didn't even choose a beauty because of her, he was a little surprised and dazed.

Putting on the cloak and looking back at Zongzheng Mingzhen, the emperor said again: "That's the matter, you go and see the queen."

After finishing speaking, the emperor raised his legs and left, Xiao Lizi and others followed, and the group headed towards Zhang Hua Palace in a mighty manner.

Before dawn today, the palace people in Luomei Palace are already busy. At this moment, imperial concubine Mei Linlang has already moved into Zhanghua Palace.

Because her body was still very weak and needed rest, she was carried into Zhanghua Palace by the palace people in soft sedan chairs.Looking at the beautifully furnished and luxurious inner hall, she touched the big red brocade quilt covering her body and felt very uncomfortable.

What is this, compensation?
A red mandarin duck brocade quilt that was just used when they got married, and the room was full of magnificence. To compensate her for not stepping out of the palace for eight years, or to compensate for the wrong things of the year, or to compensate for the lost youth, the dead Mei Linlang .

No matter what made her heartache, it made her uncomfortable, and this was never what she wanted, nor was it what the daughter of the Mei family wanted.

The newly transferred Nanny Han has been paying attention to Mei Linlang's reaction since she entered the Zhanghua Palace. Seeing that she has been staring at the bright red mandarin duck brocade, she quickly explained: "I want to report to the imperial concubine, this inner hall is the emperor's palace." Arranged by myself last night, the mandarin duck brocade quilt was specially given by the emperor, so you don't have to worry about people making irresponsible remarks."

Big red has always been used only by the royal family, and only the empress in the palace can use it.Although she is now an imperial concubine and vice queen, she is not a queen, not a wife, not a wife, but a concubine.So, afraid that she would be worried or overthink, Nanny Han specially explained.

Mei Linlang didn't speak, as if she didn't hear it.Immediately afterwards, Nanny Han said again: "The empress is worried about your health, so she sent a lot of precious medicinal materials and supplements early in the morning. There are also new tributes..."

"Mommy, it's time for your mother to drink the medicine, you should step back first." Jianchun came in with the medicine and interrupted her.

Seeing that Mei Linlang seemed very unhappy, Nanny Han didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and she didn't dare to make mistakes, so she stepped back respectfully and said, "Your servant will leave!"

Fushen saluted and bowed to leave. After she left, Jianchun took the medicine and went to the bed and sat down, saying: "I know that your mother is suffering, but no matter how hard it is, you have to take care of yourself. Although the general escaped from death, the current crisis But it hasn't passed, the empress wants to open it up."

Last night, the imperial concubine was named, and the emperor asked people to move this morning. To be honest, I was really in a hurry.

Hearing the sound, Mei Linlang raised her head and smiled, which was uglier than crying, she said softly: "I know, I just think this quilt is a bit dazzling."

All she ever wanted was a mandarin duck brocade quilt, a wedding that only belonged to her and him, a couple for a lifetime, but it became an extravagant wish, a bubble, and nothing in the end.

He is no longer him, and at this moment, this mandarin duck quilt has become a joke.It was too late, too late, everything between her and him was too late.

Jianchun is her dowry, and she has been with her for many years, so don't you know what she means.With bitterness in her heart and sore eyes, she handed the medicine bowl in her hand to Mei Linlang and said, "Your Majesty, drink the medicine first. After drinking the medicine, the maidservant will change the quilt, and I won't take it out again."

If the grievances and mistrust of the past could be made up for with a red mandarin duck brocade quilt that was only used when they got married, then the emperor's thinking would be too simple.

Eight years have passed like years, and my heart is broken. Not to mention being named an imperial concubine and staying in Zhanghua Palace, even becoming a queen and moving to Kunning Palace now can't make up for the mistakes of the past.

The human heart cannot withstand being hurt, let alone being disappointed again and again, hurt again and again.

Unable to restrain herself, she stretched out her hand to touch the quilt, and Mei Linlang said lightly, "No need, just prick it a few more times, and you'll get used to it gradually. I asked you to find out where your eldest brother lives, did you find out?"

After waking up, he moved the place, and he didn't tell the doctor Zhou, so he had to ask.

Poured a glass of water to give her some medicine to rinse her mouth, Jianchun reported truthfully, "I have asked, but there are guards all around, slaves can't get in, and I don't know how the general is doing now."

I don't know who the emperor is guarding against. It's like a thief. Even though the palace is already heavily guarded, he still sent people to guard it outside.

She drank the medicine in one breath, rinsed her mouth, took a piece of hawthorn cake and put it in her mouth, Mei Linlang said: "It's okay, the days will be long in the future. If I can't see you today, it doesn't mean I won't see you tomorrow. If I want to see you, I will see you later." You can see it. The emperor, the empress, and those who have a high rank have all given rewards to Xin'er, and we can't lag behind. You will go to the warehouse to pick it yourself later."

Familiar footsteps sounded beside her ears, and Mei Linlang winked at Jianchun.Jianchun understood immediately and said: "Madam, don't be sad, the old lady just fell ill due to a cold occasionally, just take two doses of medicine and she will be fine, and she will be fine."

With red eyes and tears filling her eyes, Mei Linlang held back the tears and said coldly: "It's fine for others to lie to me, but now even you don't tell the truth, right?"

Jianchun knelt down and said in a panic, "I don't dare, my servant... my servant..."

Before finishing speaking, the emperor entered the door of the inner hall, heard the conversation between the two, coughed softly and said to Jianchun: "You step back!"

Jianchun raised his head and glanced at Mei Linlang pretending to be wronged, then stood up cautiously and saluted, "Yes, this servant will leave!"

After waving for everyone to leave, the emperor sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "Don't blame her, I didn't let them tell you. You are not feeling well and need to rest, don't worry about these things. I have sent you off early this morning. The imperial doctor went to Prince Liang's Mansion to show it to the old lady, and she became very angry, just take some medicine, and it will be fine after a while, you don't have to worry about it."

　It's actually quite sad to write about their pair, not because they don't love each other anymore, but because the vigorous love is too tiring.
