Ling Haoyue returned to Shou'an Palace, and Qing Dai had already been waiting at the gate of Shou'an Palace.
As soon as Qing Dai saw that Ling Haoyue was back, she hurriedly greeted her and said, "County Lord, you can come back, but you can worry the slave and maid to death." โ
"Isn't this county lord back? Ling Haoyue smiled and asked, "Is grandmother okay?"
Qing Dai replied: "The slave is incompetent, the queen mother still knows about your poisoning, and she has a lot of anger, and even wants to go to Chaohua Palace in person to ask the imperial concubine Niangniang for an explanation." โ
Ling Haoyue frowned slightly, and said lightly: "That's it, my grandmother is the queen mother, and I can't hide such a big movement." โ
"But don't worry, the slave has already persuaded the queen mother, and the emperor has personally decreed that the county lord of Mingfang is missing, oh, no, Miss Liu, the county lord is fine, and the queen mother has rested. Qing Dai hurriedly explained.
He bowed his head again and said: "County lord, the slave maid was afraid of annoying the queen mother, so she said that the county lord had just detoxified and was a little tired, so she went back to the room to rest, and she didn't want anyone to disturb her." โ
Ling Haoyue nodded slightly: "Well, you did the right thing." The safety of the Queen Mother is the most important thing. โ
Since there is nothing to do, she is much more relieved.
"Go back to the room, the lord of this county has something to tell you. โ
Qing Dai nodded, the masters had something to tell her to value themselves on her behalf.

In the early morning of the second day, Lily of the Valley was waiting for Ling Haoyue to comb her hair.
"The county lord. Qing Dai walked in.
Ling Haoyue looked at her through the mirror and said, "Say, but there is a result?"
Qing Dai replied: "Early this morning, the people in Chaohua Palace said that Caihe died, and he died violently, and it is said that he was hit by the board yesterday, and his body was weak and he didn't survive. โ
"Violent death......" Ling Haoyue muttered.
"Ten boards is not light, if the girl is in poor health and dies without surviving, this is a very common thing in the palace, so no one says anything. โ
Ling Haoyue closed her eyes slightly and said, "Is there any other news?"
Qing Dai shook her head and said, "There is nothing else, but the imperial concubine Niangniang seems to be very angry, and she has cleaned up all the people in Chaohua Palace, and a lot of news cannot be found." โ
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, and he continued: "The slave maid also found out one thing, the six princes of Nanqi resigned and left the palace last night. โ
"Oh. Ling Haoyue replied lightly, she didn't want to hear such a person as Qi Yan at this time, this person really didn't know what to say.
Ling Haoyue's eyes looked at herself in the mirror fixedly, and she kept asking in her heart, who wanted to kill herself......
"Ahh
"Slave damn it!" Lily of the Valley hurriedly knelt on the ground, with a few green silks hanging on the comb in her hand.
Ling Haoyue shook her head lightly and said calmly, "Get up, just be careful." โ
He turned his head to Qing Dai and said, "You went out early in the morning, and you are tired, go down to rest first, just wait for Lily of the Valley." โ
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone. Qing Dai saluted and withdrew.
Lily of the valley carefully combed Ling Haoyue's hair, holding her breath and concentrating, she was a little afraid of being careful.
"Lily of the valley, what's wrong with you? Isn't it just a few hairs dropped, look at you. The lord of your family is not a stingy person, will he still punish you? Ling Haoyue couldn't help but smile when she looked at her like this.
Lily of the valley's face was slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "The slave doesn't have it, the slave just ......"
Ling Haoyue looked at her with a smile, just what?
"It's just that the county lord treats Sister Qingdai so well, and the slave is really envious. It's no wonder that Sister Qingdai is more capable than the slave maid and can help the county lord find out the news, but the slave and maid are soft-spoken, so they can't help the county lord do things, and they can't even comb the county lord's hair. "Lily of the valley's head hung low, and the roots of her exposed ears were red.
Ling Haoyue touched her lowered head and said softly: "You stupid girl, everyone is different, Qingdai is good with her, you are good at yours, the way of expression is different, what is there to envy." โ
Lily of the valley raised her head slightly, glanced at her and hurriedly buried her head, it was very different, it was ashamed, and it was mixed.
Ling Haoyue said with a smile: "It turned out that the lily of the valley tasted it." โ
Lily of the valley's head was buried deeper, and it was obvious that Ling Haoyue had guessed correctly.
"You and Qing Dai are my confidants, it's not that I value Qing Dai more, so I told Qing Dai to do things, but in this palace, Qing Dai is more familiar than you, I don't have to worry about what will happen to her if she does it, if you are sent there, you will be in danger if you are not familiar with life. โ
"County Lord, I ......" Lily of the Valley was very ashamed, she thought that the county lord disliked her, it turned out that the county lord was thinking about her safety.
"Silly girl, you have been by my side since you were a child, you are not only my maid, but also my sister. โ
Ling Haoyue was a little distressed, thinking that since her parents left, the people around her were also sent away by the Zhao family one by one for various reasons, except for Uncle Zhong, that is, the girl Lily of the Valley who remained by her side.
It's just that Uncle Zhong is a man after all, and the one who has been with her the longest is Lily of the Valley.
"County master, the slave is wrong, the slave should not be jealous of Sister Qingdai. Lily of the valley lowered her head and admitted her mistakes, all of which she thought of as a mistake.
Ling Haoyue said with a smile: "If there is anything you have to say in the future, don't be stupid by yourself." โ
Lily of the valley's face turned even redder.

Ling Haoyue had breakfast and asked the Queen Mother to resign. The old lady of the Lingguo Mansion was seriously ill, and the people of the Lingguo Mansion did not even attend the banquet of the imperial concubine, and she, as a granddaughter, should go to visit the sick.
The Queen Mother thought about the recent chaos in the palace, and she didn't know if anyone would harm Ling Haoyue anymore, so she allowed her, and at the same time officially gave Qingdai to her as a personal maid.
Ling Haoyue took the carriage back to the house, and was sitting in the carriage with her eyes closed to recuperate, when suddenly the carriage shook violently, and then she heard a long whistle from the horse.
"What's going on?" Ling Haoyue said loudly.
"County master, slave maid go out and have a look. Qing Dai lifted the curtain and wanted to poke her head out.
I saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground, with a pool of blood underneath.
Qing Dai was shocked and hurriedly asked the coachman: "What's going on?"
The coachman scratched his head and whispered, "The little one doesn't know what's going on, the man suddenly came over, and the little one strangled the stiff rope, but it was still a step too late." โ
Qing Dai frowned slightly, turned to Ling Haoyue in the carriage and said, "County Lord, there is a person lying on the ground, as if he was injured by our horse. โ
There was a curtain in the middle, and Ling Haoyue heard the conversation between her and the coachman.
"Lily of the valley, you help me out. Ling Haoyue had a hunch that this person's appearance was not accidental.
Sure enough, as soon as the curtain was lifted, I heard someone shouting open.
"Lord Haoyue, you trampled the people to death just because you were the county lord, who gave you the guts!"
As soon as these words came out, the people around them surrounded them one after another, muttering: "It's really arrogant to rely on being the county lord and not taking the lives of ordinary people into account." โ
Qing Dai whispered by the curtain and said, "County Lord, it's Princess Fushou." โ
Lily of the valley held Ling Haoyue's hand tightly, how could these people wronged people indiscriminately!
Ling Haoyue patted her hand lightly, gave her a calm look, and told her that it was okay, the county lord had a way to solve it.
Ling Haoyue lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
Looking at the middle-aged man on the ground, he was lying on the ground, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and under him was a pool of blood, which spilled out and left along the gap in the road. I already have a plan in my heart.
"Princess Fushou. Ling Haoyue first bowed to Princess Fushou.
Princess Fushou was angry when she looked at her, if it weren't for her, Fang'er would not have been stripped of her title.
"Don't, this palace can't afford to be the gift of your Haoyue County Lord. โ
The rank of the county lord is below the princess, and Princess Fushou said this on purpose to lose face for her.
Ling Haoyue smiled lightly and said nothing, and got up directly after saluting, according to the number of rites, this salute is done, and it is not her business to accept it or not.
Princess Fushou scolded in her heart: This little slut, I really don't understand the rules, you dare to get up if the palace doesn't ask you to get up?
"Haoyue, where have you learned this etiquette, if the imperial sister went early, did you even miss the etiquette!"
It turned out that I was here to find fault!
Princess Fushou is clearly deliberately making things difficult for her.
"Dare to ask Princess Fushou, where is the etiquette of the county lord not in place?" Ling Haoyue hated her very much for talking about her mother, Princess Anding.
Princess Fushou snorted coldly: "This palace is a princess, and it is your elder, the elder didn't say to get up, you dare to get up without permission, it seems that your royal etiquette has been neglected over the years!"
Ling Haoyue smiled faintly and said, "Princess Fushou is the princess, so she naturally knows more about etiquette than Haoyue. The princess has the etiquette of the princess, and the elders have the etiquette of the elders, I don't know what kind of etiquette is it to criticize Haoyue, the junior?"
As an elder, what is the reason for you to criticize the younger ones?
"Bengong looks, your etiquette and upbringing are not very good, but you have learned to be sharp!" Princess Fushou was full of anger, why didn't she see that Princess Anding would have such a "eloquent" daughter before.
"It's far worse than Princess Fushou, when I was a child, I heard my mother say that in the palace, Princess Fushou's mouth was the best at talking. โ
"Presumptuous!" Princess Fushou was furious. It's revealing her scars. Princess Fushou's biological mother is not from a high background, and she is a concubine until she dies, without a tough background, Princess Fushou relies on a mouth that can speak, and flatters Princess Anding, so that she can marry a good family.
Ling Haoyue's face was calm, and she didn't feel the slightest fear of her anger.
Let's see who of us uncovers whose scars!
Slut! Princess Fushou scolded secretly in her heart, it is not appropriate to do these verbal battles here, so put up with this tone for the time being.
She pointed to the middle-aged man lying on the ground and said, "Haoyue, what's going on?"
The corners of Ling Haoyue's eyebrows raised slightly, and she said lightly, "What's going on?"
Princess Fushou sneered in her heart: Pretend!
"Although you are the lord of the county, you can't be a street horse and trample on the common people to death! This matter is known to the emperor, and he will not protect you!" said him, with a sad look on his face.
