Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Chapter 254 Adding fuel to the flames

Liang Zhirou asked: "What's the matter?"

"It's...about Prince Duan."

Lin Xiuyi hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "I went back to my parents' house half a month ago. I went back early that day, and my genius was slightly bright. When I passed by His Royal Highness Duan Wang's private residence, I saw... a woman coming from the back door. come out."

Liang Zhirou frowned instantly.

Half a month ago...

Wasn't that the night she had a falling out with Murong Xiu?

That night he brought a woman back and asked her to go to his room. Liang Zhirou still felt a pain in her heart when she thought about that protective gesture.

She forced herself to calm down. Although she was extremely sad inside, she still spoke for Murong Xiu on her face.

"Your Majesty has always been a beauty, so this is not a strange thing. It's mostly just a show, and it's not a big deal."

"So, half a month ago, His Highness Prince Duan did bring a woman to his house?"

"……Um."

Lin Xiuyi's eyes burst out with faint fire.

"Does Mrs. Duan Wang know who that woman is?"

Hearing this, Liang Zhirou shook her head slightly.

"I didn't pay attention, but... why are you suddenly so interested in the prince's personal affairs?"

There seems to be something wrong with this.

Lin Xiuyi sighed, then lowered her voice.

"To be honest, that day... I saw that woman."

Liang Zhirou's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately wanted to ask who it was.

But she held back.

Which oiran should it be? Even if she knew it, what would she do?

"I see that the woman is not alone. She is accompanied by a maid. The carriage is also very luxurious. She does not seem to be a woman from an ordinary family."

Lin Xiuyi whispered: "She seems to be a noble daughter of someone's family."

"impossible!"

Liang Zhirou immediately denied it.

If she was really a noble girl from an ordinary family, Murong Xiu could just come to propose marriage, and there was no need to be so secretive.

"Sister-in-law Duan Wang doesn't believe me?"

Lin Xiuyi frowned.

"I'm thinking of you, so that's why I said it. If it's really someone's noble daughter, then Prince Duan will go to ask for marriage, which will be a huge threat to you.

In my opinion, Mrs. Duan Wang should take the first step, inform her father and mother about the matter, find the woman who has misbehaved, and make the decision for you. "

After hearing her words, Liang Zhirou's eyes were lowered on her dull face, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Lin Xiuyi put one hand in her sleeve, holding the sachet.

As long as Liang Zhirou agreed, she would immediately add fuel to the flames.

Although she hated Murong Xiu, wouldn't it be better if she didn't have to come forward in this matter.

After a while, Liang Zhirou smiled faintly.

"Princess Rui may have misunderstood. I have known the prince for so long and I have never heard of anyone else's noble daughter that he likes."

After saying that, she stood up and said, "Since my mother doesn't want to see guests today, I'll come back another day. Princess Rui, I'll take my leave."

He turned around and left.

Looking at her back, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but frown slightly.

This princess...

What a coward.

It seemed that she had to expose Murong Xiu herself.

She picked up the sachet in her hand and looked at it, then glanced in the direction of Changqiu Palace.

Since the Queen is not in good spirits, let’s wait for another day.

……

Leng Ruqing went into Changqiu Palace for a while and then came out.

After coming out, he went straight to Shen Ruoxi.

"Ruoxi!"

A joyful smile appeared on her pretty face: "I have wanted to come to you for a long time, but it has been inconvenient for you to live in the East Palace."

Ah Sang reminded.

"Princess, please call me Crown Princess."

"It doesn't matter."

Shen Ruoxi said: "There are no outsiders here, just call me by my name."

She asked: "Why did the queen come to you alone?"

"It's not because of the eldest princess."

Leng Ruqing walked side by side with her towards the East Palace: "The eldest princess is now living in Prince Rui's Mansion. The queen mother asked me to persuade her to let go of her worries and come back to the palace. This is really difficult for me. I have been here these days. In the mansion, I almost started a fight with the eldest princess, how could I persuade her? After that, she told me about Prince Rui again..."

Leng Ruqing's face showed a rare look of tenderness.

"The queen mother said she hoped I could have a good relationship with Prince Rui. That tone... was a bit strange."

"Why is it weird?"

"I can't tell."

Leng Ruqing frowned.

Su Liuer's tone seemed to contain all kinds of helplessness and worry, especially when she mentioned Murong Yao, she was full of fatigue.

For a moment, Leng Ruqing had the illusion that Su Liuer was asking her for help.

But she is a high-ranking queen, what need does she need for help?

Even if Murong Mingyu has a little temper, he can't cause any trouble.

As for Murong Yao, he was gentle and calm, and he was smart beyond his years, so she didn't need to worry too much.

She really didn't quite understand where Su Liuer's sadness came from.

When the two of them walked to the East Palace, Leng Ruqing suddenly remembered something.

"Ruoxi, do you have any good medicine for removing scars?"

"Yes, yes, but why do you want this? Are you injured?"

"not me."

Leng Ruqing sighed: "It's Prince Rui. He was so seriously injured last time, and the scars on the wound are very obvious. The scar-removing medicines of the imperial doctors didn't work, so I thought of you."

Shen Ruoxi looked at her with interest.

"You seem so careless, but you are really considerate of Prince Rui."

"Stop making fun of me. If you have any, give me a box. I owe you a favor."

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi smiled slightly.

Then he turned around and walked into his room, taking out an exquisite porcelain bottle from his dressing box.

"This medicine was originally mainly used to wipe old scars on women's faces, but it can also be used by Prince Rui. I have carefully developed this medicine, and this is the only one."

"Thank you very much."

Leng Ruqing put the porcelain bottle into her arms with some joy, and then opened her watery eyes.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, Ruoxi, I heard that there will be a lantern festival in the capital in the next two days. Is it true?"

"Correct."

Shen Ruoxi's beautiful face had a moving smile: "Every year when the New Year is approaching, there will be a lantern festival in the capital, which is extremely lively. Not only ordinary people will put off lanterns, but wives of officials can also go out and watch the excitement."

"Then I will go with Prince Rui, Ruoxi, will you go too?"

"Probably... yes."

Shen Ruoxi thought of Murong Heng. He seemed a little busy recently and wondered if he could spare time to go out with her.

"Then let's watch the lantern festival together. This is my first time watching lanterns!"

Leng Ruqing's face was full of anticipation and joy.

After making an appointment with Shen Ruoxi, she left the palace.

When she arrived at the palace gate, she found that Lin Xiuyi, who had come with her, had already left.

The two of them came in a carriage, but now that Lin Xiuyi left, the carriage was gone.

Asang was a little angry.

"Princess, Lin Xiuyi did this on purpose, right?"

Leng Ruqing is disdainful.

"It's really boring to play such tricks on such a trivial matter. Without the carriage, it's not like I can't go back!"
