[Red Mansion Qing Chuan] Lin Siye Marries a Daughter

Although the sun outside was very good, the windows in Li Wanmei's room were still closed to block out the sun, and the thick sandalwood made the whole room look like a Buddhist nunnery.

The palace lady walked up cautiously, leaned over and said in a low voice: "Your concubine, there is a letter from your lord." Li Wanmei suddenly opened her eyes, and the bright eyes made the palace lady take a step back involuntarily. When she came to her senses, the palace lady hurriedly said: " Your concubine, this servant didn't do it on purpose, this servant was just distracted just now."

Li Wanmei ignored the lady's words, and just said in a low voice: "How is my father?" The lady said in a low voice: "Little Deng Zi said just now, Lord Li asked him to tell your concubine that the Lord is fine, although the reinstatement of the official Impossible, but I am still working in the Ministry of Industry, and my lord also said that this time, thanks to the help of Lord Chu, the danger was saved."

Li Wanmei's eyes were calm and gloomy, the maid couldn't help but lower her head and didn't dare to look, after a while she heard Li Wanmei say: "I see, you step back."

The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to leave, she heard the nanny shout outside: "Your concubine, Princess Yi said that she would come to see your concubine later." Li Wanmei closed her eyes and did not respond, just when the maid thought she would not agree. , but heard Li Wan's brows sinkingly said: "Help me up."

After finishing speaking, Li Wanmei wanted to sit up slowly by herself, but she didn't feel her body softened. The palace lady bent over to help her, and saw bloodstains under the bed again.

Leaning on the soft couch, Li Wanmei said in a low voice: "Wash me up." The maid hesitated for a moment before she said cautiously: "Your concubine can bear with it, she can get out of bed and wash up in two days."

Li Wan frowned: "Don't you dare not listen to my words." The palace maid could only nod her head: "Yes, servant girl will go now."

When Yining walked in, she saw Li Wanmei leaning there, although her face was a little pale, but in the blink of an eye, she was still the extremely flattering concubine Wan Gui.

Seeing Yining, Li Wanmei smiled slightly: "I'm really surprised that the Princess can come to see me." Yining still had that delicate expression: "Why don't I come, Concubine Wan, don't be sad, some things have passed It's over."

Li Wanmei glanced at Yining, and said quietly: "Yes, no matter how sad you are, it's useless."

"It's good that Concubine Wan thinks so. In fact, Cousin Seven didn't do it on purpose. Now that he has lived in the ancestral hall for so many days, with his temperament, it may feel like years."

Li Wanmei smiled self-deprecatingly: "I know this is not His Royal Highness' intention, actually..." Li Wanmei covered her mouth pretending to be mysterious, and did not continue, but it made Yining's big eyes round: "Actually, what, Could it be that there is something else to this matter, wasn't the third and fourth cousins ​​present at the time?"

Li Wanmei looked at Yining in embarrassment, lowered her head, and thought for a while before saying: "Actually, I didn't want to talk about it, but I have a deep friendship with the Princess, and I can see the princess's thoughts on Prince Chu Now, if I keep it from the Princess, I will feel a little bit sorry."

Standing up straight, Li Wanmei said softly: "The princess must know that Miss Lin was there at the time, and she was on my right. In fact, His Royal Highness was going to come and talk to Miss Lin, but Miss Lin gave way on purpose, so she just let her go." "Oh, it's all my fault for not being careful."

Yining said in a low voice: "You mean to say that even she was involved in this matter, so why..."

"At that time, it was because Miss Lin first insisted that it was His Highness the Seventh Prince's fault, and Prince Chu was also helping, and secondly, the Seventh Highness might have admitted it on purpose. You know, Miss Lin and His Highness have come to get close to each other, maybe His Royal Highness the Seventh may be willing."

Yining snorted resentfully: "I knew she would be a disaster just by looking at her like that. It doesn't count if she loses fourth cousin, but even seventh cousin..."

"Princess, be careful what you say. This is a matter of no shadow. Be careful that some people will listen to it and frame the princess."

"I'm not afraid. I'll go ask Seventh Cousin. If it's true, I'll tell the Empress Dowager to see that she still pretends to be so noble all day long." Yining did what she said, greeted Li Wanmei, and hurried away.

Li Wanmei leaned there quietly, with a slight sneer on the corner of her mouth, because only she knew that Ning Dong and Ning Chu were incompatible now, and Ning Dong also knew very well what Daiyu meant to Ning Chu If Daiyu's reputation is ruined, I believe the blow to Ning Chu will not be small, but to Prince Ning Dong, it is no big deal anyway, so why not do it.

When Ning Chu rushed to the palace, the emperor had just woken up and fell asleep. The imperial doctors in the imperial hospital were all sweaty and looked at each other, all relieved, at least their lives were saved.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, almost all the princes came. Although each of them had anxious and concerned expressions on their faces, they had different expressions in their eyes.

Inside, the Empress Dowager said with a sullen face to the imperial doctors: "You all claim to be unparalleled in medical skills, but this has happened several times. When the emperor fell ill, he was helpless. How can the Ai family trust you again? Tell me, what is the emperor's illness. "

All the imperial physicians knelt on the ground, silent like cicadas, no one dared to speak out, after a while, only one person said: "Return to the queen mother, the emperor's illness is strange, and it is also strange if it is good. The servants suspect that it is poisoning, but they have not confirmed it." evidence, so I want to ask the Queen Mother to order to check..."

"Poisoning." The queen mother looked back at the sleeping emperor with her slender eyes: "Why do you think of this?" The imperial doctor just now saw that the queen mother did not blame himself for being whimsical, so he boldly said: "Back to the queen mother, the emperor's body is usually very weak. Okay, but when I fell ill a few times, although the servants couldn't detect any signs of being poisoned again, if the emperor recovered, he would always feel a sense of collapse, and the medical book said 'the poisoner...'"

"Okay, Aijia doesn't understand these things, you say it's important." The queen mother said impatiently: "Aijia just wants to know how to cure the emperor's illness."

The imperial doctor hesitated for a moment: "Back to the queen mother, if the emperor is really poisoned as the servants said, then as long as the people around the emperor are close, everything will be fine."

The Empress Dowager did not respond, and glanced shrewdly at the chief eunuch who was fanning the emperor: "Gui San, the Ai family has something to ask you." Gui San put down the fan: "Just give orders, the Empress Dowager."

The queen mother coughed: "You have served the emperor for many years. The Ai family believes that you are a loyal person. You must have heard what the imperial doctor said. The Ai family would rather believe in what you have than in nothing, so the emperor's daily diet , except you, no one is allowed to deal with it, including the princes outside, do you understand?"

"Yes, the servant must follow the Queen Mother's orders." Gui San thought for a while, "Queen Mother, if it's a girl..." "You still ask these questions knowingly, and you still follow the old rules."

"Yes, the slave understands."

The queen mother said: "Let them come in."

Looking at the people in the room, the queen mother said slowly: "Your majesty is fine, you can rest assured." Ning Ze said: "Queen mother, what kind of illness is this, father, why did you get sick in just a few months? three times."

The queen mother sighed: "The imperial doctors can't tell the reason, so Aijia is worried, third child, now that your elder brother is not here, you are the biggest one, I am afraid that the emperor's illness will take a good rest for a while, during this period, you should take good care of yourself." Do things, don't let the emperor worry about it."

"Yes, don't worry, the queen mother."

The queen mother said slowly: "Seeing that the emperor is fine, you can rest assured, you will go to work, and let the emperor rest for a while."

Seeing the princes filing out, the queen mother shook her head, and whispered to the emperor who was still sleeping soundly: "The princes are getting older, and they have more thoughts. In order to stabilize the court situation, the emperor should consider appointing a prince, otherwise I don't know how to come out." What's the matter, have you forgotten the lesson of that year?"

The emperor lying on the dragon bed opened his eyes: "How did the queen mother know that I was awake?" The queen mother smiled: "The Ai family has raised you for more than 40 years, so they can't even tell whether you are asleep or awake."

Just as Gui San was about to step forward to support the emperor, the queen mother hurriedly said: "Didn't you hear the imperial doctor say to let the emperor rest?"

"The emperor is the son of the Ai family who was pregnant in October. If the Ai family doesn't love you, whoever loves you." After a pause, the queen mother continued: "Your Majesty, think about what the Ai family just told you. The Ai family doesn't want to hurt you." Interfering in government affairs, this matter is just a reminder to the emperor, as for the emperor to make up his mind in the end."

The emperor said: "I know, in fact, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, but I have been unable to make up my mind. Now that my mother is here, I want to ask her for an idea."

The Empress Dowager didn't make a sound immediately, just sighed softly, and said after a while: "Aijia also understands your difficulties, the palms and backs of your hands are all flesh and blood, but Aijia wants to remind the emperor, don't stop, don't suffer from it, Since the emperor has this intention, let's make a decision earlier, no matter who it is, Aijia will follow the emperor's idea."

"With my mother's words, I don't have any worries."

"Yifeng, I just received a report from them, saying that you have transferred a lot of guards to surround and intercept the thief." Ning Ze said to Ning Chu who was walking aside: "What happened? It was so grandiose that the whole street was disturbed." People are terrified, if Father is not ill, he would not have scolded you when he knew about this."

Ning Chu smiled: "They have already been asked to withdraw."

"Did anyone catch it?"

"No." Ning Chu said without concealment: "But I know one thing, which is very important to me."

Ning Chu's deceptive appearance made Ning Ze feel guilty: "What is it that made you do this?" Ning Chu said indifferently: "Third brother, this is a matter within Yifeng's jurisdiction, and it involves a lot. Before there is conclusive evidence, Yifeng will not talk nonsense."

Ning Ze smiled awkwardly: "You have always been a cautious person, by the way, Yifeng, I heard that the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Punishment have reaped a lot this time. Several mansions have been raided, and the silver handed over is piled up. A warehouse, your move can be said to be a drastic move, clever."

"Third brother praised, but in fact Yifeng had no other choice. If the treasury was full, why would Yifeng do such an offending thing? Third brother didn't know, but now many officials see me and walk around without even saying hello. .” Ning Chu sighed helplessly, “This job is really thankless.”

Ning Ze patted Ning Chu on the shoulder sympathetically: "Who makes you the most capable among all the brothers, and you also have a good father-in-law, Yifeng, your father-in-law really did his best for this matter, but it's not the third brother who said, Some things can be done in moderation, but if we continue to pursue it, there is a word that is very vulgar, but it is very applicable 'dog anxiously jumps over the wall', the third brother is worried about accidents."

"Yifeng knows, thank you third brother for reminding me, I still have something to do over there, so I will take a step first." Ning Chu just took a few steps when Ning Ze's voice came from behind: "Yifeng, it's not that third brother is alarmist, there are some things, see Accept it, otherwise..."

Without listening to Ning Ze's words, Ning Chu's mouth curled into a sneer, and he took firm steps without hesitation.
