Chapter 014: Tearing the Skin
"They have been arranged to stay in the side hall. When you're better, let them come and stay with you. Dongfang Ke said unhurriedly, and with his simple explanation, Ruan Liuyan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor didn't ask her why she was "crazy and furious", does it mean that this matter is over? With some apprehension, Ruan Liuyan excused himself to be a little hungry and reported the names of two side dishes. Dongfang Ke got up and ordered, and after a while, someone brought a meal, but it was not the name of the dish reported by Ruan Liuyan, she was injured now, and she needed to eat a light meal.
After about a quarter of an hour of eating, Mingyue brought the decoction, and at this time, Dongfang Ke was there, and Ruan Liuyan, who was usually most afraid of drinking medicine, didn't say anything like stopping and drinking again this time. After drinking the medicine bowl in one go, she couldn't wait to take the candied fruit handed by Ming Yue and put it in her mouth. Rao is like this, and the bitterness of her tongue also made her frown slightly, and she was taken in by Dongfang Ke in her eyes, and the corners of her lips, which were originally expressionless, had a trace of curvature.
Realizing that he was unconscious, Dongfang Ke stood up with a slight "cough". He had been here for a morning, and for the two days he hadn't woken up before, he had to come to Chonghua Palace once a day, and now that she had woken up, he was afraid that staying any longer would cause unnecessary trouble. Telling Ruan Liuyan to have a good rest, he told Li Dezhao to drive away.
After Dongfang Ke left, Ruan Liuyan instructed Mingyue to call Qiurong Qiuluo and the two eunuchs in the inner hall over, and instructed Qiurong Qiuluo to serve closely, and the rest of the people strictly guarded the door of the inner hall. Everyone received the order, and the two little eunuchs retreated. On the other side, Ming Yue's head was as low as a quail, leaning on the head of the bed, Ruan Liuyan swept towards her coldly: "You, go to the courtyard and kneel, you are not allowed to get up without my instructions." ”
As soon as the words came out, Ming Yue raised her head violently, as if she didn't believe that Ruan Liuyan would make such a decision. Qiurong and Qiurong on the side also glanced at each other in surprise, but they didn't squint and didn't say much. This is the master's decision, and they don't need to know the reason when they become slaves.
They didn't know the reason, but Mingyue knew, and was coldly stared at by Ruan Liuyan, and slowly tears appeared in her eyes. But after getting along these days, she already knew that Ruan Liuyan would not change her decision lightly, and in the end she had to retreat obediently with tears.
After sending away Mingyue, Ruan Liuyan sent the other two to rest in the bed with their eyes closed, and slept until the end of the afternoon before waking up. After waking up, her spirits were much better, and she told Qiurong Qiuluo to dress her up, and Ruan Liuyan asked a little eunuch to call Jin Lin's mother and daughter over.
"Courtier/courtier, see Niangniang."
Now Ruan Liuyan is the emperor's concubine, although Jin Lin and Yin Mingzhu are her nominal mother and sisters, but the number of courtesies should not be less. Mrs. Yin, who has always been arrogant, and Yin Mingzhu, the daughter of the Yin family, saluted respectfully, which not only made Ruan Liuyan slightly hook the corners of her lips.
"Mother doesn't have to be polite." After a little support in the air, Ruan Liuyan said slowly with a smile, and her eyes were full of joy for her daughter to see her "mother-in-law".
Jin Lin thanked her in her mouth, and Yin Mingzhu helped her up, but the anger in her eyes couldn't be hidden. Just entered the hall, Mingyue's girl knelt on the brick floor outside the corridor, this little hoof was Cheng Cheng wanted to give their mother and daughter a dismount.
Repatriated Qiu Rong and Qiu Luo, Ruan Liuyan put away the smile on his face, "How about it, does Mrs. Yin feel ashamed to salute me, the "lowly girl" you said?" ”
"Ruan Liuyan, don't be complacent-"
Without waiting for Jin Lin to answer, Yin Mingzhu took the first step to answer, her eyes stared at Ruan Liuyan fiercely, and she said, "Don't forget, I don't want you to sit in the position you are sitting in now!" Stolen things, you think you can sit for long? This time, my mother and I are here to sue you, and I will also enter the palace in the near future, so you had better know me about the times! ”
"Really?" Ruan Liuyan asked rhetorically, and also stared at Yin Mingzhu coldly, "But Miss Yin seems to have forgotten the location of the 'steal' in your mouth, but you, the dignified concubine of the Yin Mansion, eloped with someone, and your good father was afraid that the emperor would blame me for forcing Ruan Liuyan to top the bag, and now you are not ashamed to say it, but you are not ashamed at all?" ”
Yin Mingzhu's face changed suddenly, and she didn't give her a chance to refute, Ruan Liuyan smiled at her contemptuously, "That's right, since you can do it together with eloping, the skill of reversing black and white is no problem." ”
"You—" Yin Mingzhu was choked speechless, and her hostile gaze seemed to kill someone.
"Pearl!" Jin Lin hurriedly grabbed Yin Mingzhu and asked her to sit down on the sandalwood red chair on the side. After all, she has lived for a few more decades, and now Ruan Liuyan has become the emperor's concubine, and it is no longer intentional to speak quickly.
Now if you want to let Mingzhu enter the palace, I am afraid that you have to rely on this little hoof to blow the wind and say a few beautiful words in front of the emperor, if you tear your face, you may lose more than you lose. Taking two deep breaths, Jin Lin came to Ruan Liuyan, "Yan'er, don't worry about your sister." Your current identity is the concubine of the Yin Mansion, and Mingzhu has now claimed to be your half-sister, so you have to take care of it more..."
"Wait," Ruan Liuyan raised an eyebrow, "You said that you declared to the outside world that Yin Mingzhu is my sister-in-law?" ”
"Yes, her name has also been changed now, and she is called Mingxuan." Jin Lin rarely explained patiently.
"Hahaha..."Ruan Liuyan's sudden smile made Jin Lin and Yin Mingzhu's faces look ugly, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"It's nothing," Ruan Liuyan smiled, and his indifferent expression was restored, "I know what you guys are thinking, and I only have one word for this: love, mo, can, help." Miss Yin has always had great powers, and she can fight for whatever she wants, so why bother asking me to be an unsightly orphan girl? ”
"Don't go too far!" This time, Jin Lin was finally enraged. Only those who have died of their father call themselves orphans, Ruan Liuyan calls herself like this, isn't she cursing her to die? Stepping back from the pretense of kindness, she sneered and said, "You actually cursed your biological father!" Don't forget that you are still in the 'sting', and it will be the end of the month in seven days, if you don't agree to what I and Mingzhu said, don't kneel and cry and beg me to give you the antidote! ”
"Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your mother under the nine springs. After being dead for so many years, picking up the whipping corpse is terrifying, it is terrible to be uneasy! "She is worthy of being a good wife of Yin Zhongxian and a good mother of Yin Mingzhu, and she is so orderly even threatening people. It's a pity that she is not the Ruan Liuyan who was invited into the Yin Mansion more than three months ago.
"Mrs. Yin's methods have always been admired. But I don't know if Mrs. Yin has ever heard a sentence called 'the fish dies and the net is broken', Mrs. threatened my mother's corpse, so she is not afraid that I will sue the emperor that I am a fake concubine of the Yin Mansion, and it was the Yin family who made it to fool the emperor? The crime of bullying is a serious crime, so do whatever Madame wants. Left and right are just dead, since you can't escape, it's not bad to have you on the Huangquan Road together. In the end, there was a hint of a smile in Ruan Liuyan's eyes.
"Ruan, Liu, Smoke!" Gritting his teeth and calling Ruan Liuyan's name, Yin Mingzhu couldn't wait to crush a mouthful of silver teeth.
Looking at Jin Lin again, her face was pale at this time, and it was obvious that Ruan Liuyan's words hit her weakness. But Jin Lin quickly recovered, and seeing that Ruan Liuyan was soft and hard, she not only said sarcastically: "What a good pair of sharp teeth, worthy of being born to your cheap embryo, I knew that you were so wolf-hearted today, the master shouldn't have left you..."
What is the meaning of 'the master should not stay', it was not Yin Zhongxian who left her, it was his mother who still had a little pity! As for Yin Zhongxian, at that time, I was afraid that she would disappear and not add to his wife's troubles, right?
"Mrs. Yin, please respect yourself," interrupting Jin Lin's words, Ruan Liuyan's eyes turned cold, "If you want to talk about cheapness, your baby daughter born to Mrs. Yinfu and raised in the palm of her hand for sixteen years is a cheap thing, don't get confused, madam!" ”
"You!" couldn't hold back any longer, Jin Lin was about to scold, and a message came from outside the door of Leng Buding's room, "Qi Yu Niangniang, someone from Qianqing Palace has come." ”
This sound was like pouring a basin of cold water on Jin Lin, who had almost lost her mind, and when she came to her senses, she kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word. Yin Mingzhu grabbed her hand and wanted to say something more, but she pinched her fiercely and signaled her to shut up first.
"Come in, please." Glancing at Jin Lin's mother and daughter, Ruan Liuyan commanded with a smile.
Soon someone came in and pronounced the decree through the curtains.
Ruan Liuyan's body injury has been specially allowed not to get up, so Jin Lin's mother and daughter on the side have to kneel down to listen to the announcement. Li Dezhao stood still indoors, took the holy decree from the red tray with both hands and unfolded it, and read it without squinting: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said." Since entering the palace, Mingzhu, the daughter of the Yin family, has been graceful and pure, dignified and virtuous, and has won my heart... It was a brave act to sacrifice himself to save the princess. From today onwards, the special Jin Feng x product Xiuyuan, a set of colorful silk shoulders, a set of auspicious cloud pattern mutton fat hosta, a pair of red gold ring beads nine turns exquisite bracelet, ten pieces of Tianshui blue satin, and a thousand taels of silver. Chin this. ”
"Concubine Xie Lord Longen, long live the emperor, long live long live."
Jin Lin's mother and daughter also thanked them in unison, Ruan Liuyan couldn't get up, and Jin Lin on the side hurriedly took the holy decree in Li Dezhao's hand. Yin Mingzhu couldn't help but be even more angry when he heard that this glory that should have belonged to him was crowned on others.
Jin Lin held the holy decree high with both hands, only to hear Li Dezhao smile and say with joy: "Congratulations to Niangniang." The emperor said that the mother is blessed with all the heavens, and this time she will recover as soon as possible. The old slave went back to his life, and first congratulated Xiu Yuan Niangniang in advance. ”
"Mr. Li is too polite. Qiu Rong, on behalf of the palace, went to see off Mr. Li. With Li Dezhao leaving, there were only four people left in the house: Ruan Liuyan, the palace maid Qiu Luo, and Jin Lin's mother and daughter. Because someone was there, Jin Lin's mother and daughter had to hold back their anger.
Ruan Liuyan saw it in his eyes and pretended not to know, "Isn't my mother tired?" Mingxuan, you help your mother to go back to the bedroom to rest first, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it another day. ”
"Yes. Mingxuan obeyed. Yin Mingzhu heard the sound of herself squeezing out between her teeth, if it weren't for Jin Lin secretly pinching her hand, I'm afraid she would have been unable to bear to point at Ruan Liuyan's nose and scold.
Seeing Jin Lin's mother leaving, Ruan Liuyan closed his eyes and instructed Qiu Luo, who was waiting on the side, "Let Mingyue get up." ”
"Yes, slave and maid will go." Qiu Luo received the order according to his words.
"Bring the medicine from the storage table." The female voice in the tent did not fluctuate, making Qiu Luo suspect that the tiredness that emanated from the tent was his own delusion.
Not daring to pause any longer, she hurriedly took the medicine and left the room.
