Lin Gongzi medicine jar

Concubine Xian returned to Lizheng Palace, and Ning Lu withdrew all the servants.

"what have you found?"

Concubine Xian looked dignified and looked at Ning Lu.

"Your Majesty, this servant thinks about it, Concubine Shu's illness..." Ning Lu hesitated for a moment, and whispered a few words in Concubine Xian's ear.

Concubine Xian's eyes suddenly became serious, and her voice was as cold as frost: "How is it possible?"

"The servant just looks like it. After all, it's too long ago. Maybe I guessed wrong."

Concubine Xian suddenly turned her head to look at her, using too much force, the pendant bead held by the phoenix hairpin on her head almost slammed onto Ning Lu's face, "Wrong guess? This is not a trivial matter."

"The maidservant will let people investigate again, but the lady, who will do it? There are no more things left in the palace."

Concubine Xian squinted her eyes and stomped two steps forward, then suddenly sneered and said: "If you have something, maybe others have it too. In this inner palace, there are so many tricks as tricks, and the people who flatter you in front of you are cold and flattering behind you." I will bite you, the more innocent the person, the less innocent he is."

Hearing this cold smile, Ning Lu's scalp felt a little numb, "Your Majesty, you have to find out who it is for, after all, the emperor will return to the palace in a month."

Hearing this, Concubine Xian suddenly broke into a smile, turned around and smiled and said: "You are right, if this matter is exposed, it depends on the degree of concubine Shu's favor, whether our concubine knows it or not, I am afraid it will be difficult." I have escaped the guilt. It seems that it is a good thing not to be in charge of palace affairs, isn't it?"

"Your Majesty is wise, it doesn't seem like she knows about the imperial concubine's appearance."

"Then some of them cry. They are too pretentious on weekdays and no one will help them when they fall."

"Mother Gu, Aunt Qiu from Autumn Shuang Pavilion is here."

The little maid at the door reported.

"At this time?" Mother Gu looked at the sky, it was already late.

"Yes."

Aunt Qiu stood in the courtyard of Qiyunxuan for a while, then she saw Gu's mother coming out, so she bowed, "Gu's mother, I am here to thank you."

"It's not necessary, it's just a matter of raising your hands." Mother Gu stood on the stone steps with her arms folded, looking down from a high position.

Aunt Qiu took the basket from Zihong's hand, "When I came back from Qingci Temple that day, I happened to see the jasmine flowers in full bloom, so I picked some and made fragrant dew. I don't know any other crafts, so I hope mother will not dislike it." She said. He stepped forward and handed the basket to Mama Gu.

Gu's mother pursed her lips and looked down. Seeing that it was still covered with a layer of soft cloth, she lifted it up and saw the shiny object inside, she was a little hesitant.

"Mother Gu, I heard that Mo'er is getting married, and I don't have anything to give. Take it as a favor from me, so don't refuse."

Mo'er is Mama Gu's daughter, and she has already made an appointment with her.Because of this name, whether it's the perfume or the golden jewelry, they are all jasmine flowers that Mo'er likes very much.

Gu's mother's expression suddenly softened, "Then it will be rewarded by my aunt."

Aunt Qiu smiled, "I don't know if the son is here. If the son hadn't been accommodating in front of Eunuch Cao that day, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to go out and offer incense to my mother."

Mother Gu subconsciously didn't want the aunt in the backyard to have anything to do with Zhao Yuanrong, and was about to refuse, when she saw the light in Qiyunxuan's study was turned off, and then Zhao Yuanrong came over led by the servant carrying the lamp.

Zhao Yuanrong saw that the people in the yard were a little puzzled, but by this time Aunt Hou Qiu had already stepped forward to salute.

Zhao Yuanrong didn't dare to look at the mature, beautiful and attractive woman, but in the blink of an eye she saw the basket in Mama Gu's hand, and she understood it.

"Sir..."

Zhao Yuanrong waved his hand, and said coldly to Aunt Qiu: "Auntie really wants to thank Mama Gu, but there will be no next time, and she will go back and stay in her own yard. If there is anything to do in the future, I will invite my father. If my father is not here, I will go directly to you." Look for Eunuch Cao, and don't look for this son through Mama Gu."

Aunt Qiu bowed her head and waited for Zhao Yuanrong to return to the house. Mother Gu sighed as she watched, "Aunt Qiu, go back."

"Yes."

That thin and soft sound was also cold and firm. Aunt Qiu looked at the lights of Qiyunxuan, and her eyes couldn't help burning. This is the courtyard to which the prince belongs.

"She hasn't done it yet?"

"Not yet, I heard that Shengjia has returned to court, and the prince will return to Beijing soon."

"When the prince returns to Beijing, there will be no chance. I thought it was a bloody one, but I backed down unexpectedly. Fortunately, I thought of her so much and gave her something."

"Don't worry, the servant will see soon."

In Lin's mansion, people from Prince Rui's mansion who secretly contacted the emperor's messenger also brought Zhao Jingyi's letter back.

Lin Xi opened it, and besides the letter, he also took out a handful of millet, and suddenly laughed, since he wasn't the one to bet, and there was no reward for the correct answer.

The dark guard came in and told about the affairs of the palace.

"Continue to monitor, and there is no need to hide it from the prince. He should know something. But if there is any movement, just take it down."

"Yes."

Lin Xi rested her chin and looked at the letter in her hand. Zhao Jingyi was as trustworthy as he was. Even the love letter was short and subtle. Oh, the most eloquent one had a last sentence.

It seemed really insincere, but even though he disliked it, Young Master Lin took a few careful glances before he reluctantly put it into the brocade box, together with the letters from the three years of war.

I'm not happy to find that the previous three years didn't feel like a long time, but now it's only been three or four months since I disappeared, and it feels like years.

But people are already on their way back to the city, and the big show is ready for the start here, but I don't know who will be proud and who will be unlucky.

"sick?"

Lin Xi looked at the guards of Prince Rui's residence in surprise.

"Yes, I heard that the prince caught cold last night."

The maids and women in the room actually let the prince catch the cold, Lin Xi frowned displeased, "Can you announce the imperial physician?"

"Earlier in the morning, I sent someone to invite me, and my subordinates came to report to the Young Master. I am afraid that the Young Master will not be able to come out today."

Lin Xi waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll go and see him right now."

"Mother Gu, I'm fine, I just sneezed a few times, I don't need to stay in bed."

Zhao Yuanrong was pinned down on the bed helplessly. The weather has turned hot recently, and the room is a bit stuffy.

But on this point, Mama Gu was very insistent, "Sneeze and runny nose, you just caught a cold, don't take a good rest and take care of your body, what should you do when it gets serious? The imperial doctor just saw it and left a prescription, you can get it later Take medicine."

Imperial physicians make a lot of fuss, exaggerate minor illnesses, and treat serious illnesses slowly, so that they can highlight their abilities.

But there was nothing urgent today, except that Lin Xi had to do homework, so he had to leave it until later, Zhao Yuanrong had no choice but to pick up the quilt to cover his face.

Forget it, Gu's mother is also worried about him, so let's stick to it.

At this moment, Eunuch Cao came in, "There is a row of maidservants kneeling in the yard, Mama Gu, just let the miscellaneous family see it."

"Still kneeling?" Zhao Yuanrong pulled down the quilt and looked at Gu's mother, "I don't let anyone in the rest room at night, so I can't blame them."

Talking about this mother Gu, she became angry, "The prince kindly asked them to rest for a while, but these little girls really dared to sleep like dead pigs, and they didn't even take a look. Who is the master! Get them!"

As he spoke, he gave Zhao Yuanrong another look, "You are a prince, and you should have kept a girl in the house to watch the night. Otherwise, who will pour you water when you are thirsty, and who will serve you when you get up at night. Look, you are all sick. The rules of the big family are not without reason, and it is a good thing for the son to be independent, so you can't wrong yourself."

Zhao Yuanrong didn't want to hear what was said inside and outside, and Mama Gu had already whispered in his ear more than once about such trivial matters as eating, sleeping, dressing and traveling.

Zhao Yuanrong pretended not to hear, and asked Eunuch Cao, "Did you send someone to tell my cousin?"

Eunuch Cao came here for this purpose, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Lin will come to see you later."

Zhao Yuanrong's eyes lit up immediately, and he was happy, "Grandpa, I'll get the arguments I wrote yesterday in the study, and we can discuss them together when my cousin comes. By the way, my cousin likes to eat fish head tofu, so don't forget it in the kitchen at noon." .”

Eunuch Cao naturally agreed again and again, and before leaving, he glanced at Mama Gu and walked out.

"Mother Gu, let them all get up, there is no need to be angry for them, and I can't rest well either."

Zhao Yuanrong closed his eyes and said calmly, this was not a discussion, upon hearing this, Mother Gu had no choice but to respond: "Yes."

Gu's mother waved her hand, and the kneeling maidservants in the yard suddenly staggered, and those who held back their knees stood up.

"Be more open-minded in the future, the master is kind, and it is not an excuse for you to be lazy. Next time, you don't need to be on the job."

All the maidservants responded obediently, and then dispersed.

It was already an hour later when Lin Xi arrived.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, the prince is just feeling a little unwell."

Eunuch Cao walked ahead and led them into Qiyunxuan, just as he saw Mama Gu coming out of the house.

"The son is sleeping, I'm afraid it's not easy to disturb."

Lin Xi glanced at her indifferently, "It's okay." Then she went straight in.

Although it is not good to be too fussy about such an old woman, she should give some face, but a servant who takes himself too seriously can't give it to him.

"Mr. Lin..." Mama Gu rolled her eyes coldly, but before reaching out her hand to block the side, a fat servant girl came up, hugged her arm and dragged her away, "Mama Gu, don't be too polite, we are always in contact with each other. Yes, the young master knows the place, we slaves, we just need to wait for the master to call before going in to serve. Speaking of which, the tea in Qiyunxuan is good, and the young master likes it after drinking it a few times. Where is this, please lead me there, I will Go and make a pot over here. We are not guests, so I’ll just come by myself, thank you very much.”

Yuanyuan's strength was quite similar to her round physique, she dragged Mama Gu out of the house and headed towards the tea room.

It wasn't until outside the tea room that Gu's mother opened her hand fiercely, and said in a cold voice: "Girl, don't be too presumptuous, this is the palace of the king, don't be so shameless."

Hey, Yuanyuan glared at her, and snorted, "The rules of the palace are good. You can rely on the old and sell the old to be the master, isn't it just to make the prince soft-hearted? It's just your luck. The young master is the first, be careful, the young master will do what he says, and she will kick out those who don't obey their duty as slaves!"

"You—" Gu's mother's eyes sharpened, her chest heaving, "You wild girl, you really think you are something, if the prince didn't take a look, you wouldn't even be able to enter the door, wouldn't you just take advantage of the shabby Yongning Hou Mansion and settle down? Lin Fu, stop laughing so hard!"

Yuanyuan bent her eyes when she heard the words, and her whole face suddenly became radiant. She smiled at Gu's mother and said, "This is the gate of the palace. To be honest, our young master can enter whenever he wants. If he doesn't want to come, he won't come. Just look at him." If he hadn't heard that Shizi was ill today, he wouldn't be bothered to move."

Looking at Mama Gu's disdainful face, Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows and raised her chin, "I just can't figure it out, what are you always doing to our young master? Seeing that the son of the world obeys the young master's words, I feel uncomfortable ? Don't be stupid, you can read a few big characters all day long, and you still fight against my young master everywhere, oh my god, don't blame our young master, okay? Are you really okay? If you can't bear it, see a doctor as soon as possible, no It makes your son uncomfortable, just that little affection, it seems that you will wear it out in a few days."

Yuanyuan's mouth was sharp, Gu's mother was trembling with anger, her eyes seemed to eat people, but suddenly the corners of her mouth curled down, the nasolabial folds deepened, and then she sneered, with sarcasm in her eyes, "Master? I have seen some shameful things. There are many people who climb dragons and phoenixes. I really only saw this one. I usually look like a human being, but in fact it is just like those in the backyard. Shit, bah—"

Yuanyuan narrowed her eyes immediately, thinking that this old man knows?

"If I spread the word, it's still a question of whether the Lin family boy can get a foothold in the capital, not to mention the merits of the test. The master and servant are both shameless and willing to be lowly. What's the difference with the church in the south of the city? Sometimes it's time to cry."

You bastard, what kind of prince, you can't even hide it from an old woman, you just know that you have private meetings every day over the wall in the middle of the night!

Yuanyuan was very angry, thinking that it was the bastard prince who provoked her first, but the infamy belonged to Lin Xi, she felt wronged by her young master, and wished she could step forward and tear her mouth open.

"Damn old woman, keep your mouth clean for your aunt. If you can't say it, I will slander my young master. The son is blind to believe you. The young master is too kind, and let you be vicious around the son. You should beat yourself out and kill yourself. Listen, do less immoral things, be careful not to spend the rest of your life, and kill the whole family."

A slap came over, Yuanyuan subconsciously raised her hand to grab it, E Congdong retorted and slapped her.

"Pa—" There was a clear and loud sound.

"Damn girl, how dare you hit me!" It seemed that she had never seen such a bold person, and Gu's mother was really confused for a while, until the burning pain came from her cheek, and she shouted, "Come here! Kill someone! Get that girl for me!"

As soon as Yuanyuan started to fight, she knew that things were going to be serious, but she slapped her once, kicked her again because she was young and strong, and then she picked up her skirt and ran away before the maids rushed up.
