Hearing Qi Jinghuan openly say that he would no longer welcome his daughter to the door of the palace, Yunxiang Marquis and his wife were stunned. They had already planned to carefully raise their youngest daughter, and then spend another year or two to kill the county lord of Pingrong, and then marry Song Jinni into the palace as the step-princess. Prince Youle, the princess, is the aunt, and they will definitely be able to achieve their wishes. It's just that they never thought that before they could launch their plan, their nephew Wang Ye would deny Song Jinni the opportunity to step into the gate of Prince Le's mansion.

"Huan'er, Ni'er already knows that she is wrong, she is still young, how can you do this to her! She's your cousin! Mrs. Yunxiang Hou hugged her crying daughter who was almost out of breath, and glared at Qi Jinghuan angrily, her eyes almost bursting with fire. Yun Xianghou is face was pale, although he didn't speak, but the eyes that looked at Qi Jinghuan angrily also revealed the same meaning as his wife.

Qi Jinghuan said lightly: "May I ask my aunt, if the younger sister of this king goes to the Yunxiang Hou Mansion to humiliate the fifth cousin and push her into the lotus pond, what will you do?" Wouldn't you want justice for your fifth cousin? Although the sister is a concubine, she is also the royal daughter of her father's bloodline, and now that her father is gone, I, as a brother, do not protect her, but do I still deserve to be her only brother? Moreover, this king has already thought that Miss Wu is the daughter of his uncle, so he did not make a big deal about it. The eldest uncle is well versed in the law, and he must know what kind of crime it is to murder the children of the royal family. ”

Yunxiang Hou couldn't help but gasp, no longer had the angry momentum just now, Qi Jinghuan's words were to the point, if this matter really made a big fuss, Song Jinni's reputation would be ruined, and his reputation as Yunxiang Hou would be completely finished, Song Jinni had no grade, and the emperor could only be condemned to him and his wife, and maybe he would be demoted......

The more he thought about Yunxianghou, the more frightened he became, and he barely squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said astringently: "Huan'er, uncle understands, it's all your fifth cousin who is confused, and uncle will definitely teach her well." ”

Qi Jinghuan said in a deep voice: "Originally, there were uncles and aunts, and this king shouldn't say anything, but the rules of the fifth cousin are really ...... If her uncle doesn't discipline her, I'm afraid that it will affect the reputation of her daughter's family in the future. ”

The Marquis of Yunxiang bowed his head and said yes again and again, and when the princess of Prince Le saw that her son was training her eldest brother as if she were training her third grandson, she was extremely unhappy in her heart, and reprimanded coldly: "Huan'er, that's enough!" Say no more! ”

Qi Jinghuan raised his eyes to look at his mother, frowned slightly, bowed down and said "yes", and stopped talking. Prince Le and Concubine Le were dissatisfied with her son, and she didn't speak, and Qi Jingshu on the concubine couch never woke up, and kept lying groggily with her eyes closed. Mrs. Yunxiang Hou hugged her daughter tightly, although she didn't dare to cry loudly, her tears never stopped. Song Jinni hid in her mother's arms, crying and twitching, heartbroken.

Under such circumstances, Yun Xianghou could only ruthlessly drag his daughter out of his wife's arms, press her in front of Qi Jingshu's chaise longue and beat her fiercely.

Yun Xianghou's hand was not light, and as soon as the thorn strip was pulled down, Song Jinni screamed in pain, and a shocking blood red immediately appeared on her plain clothes.

"Master...... Mrs. Yunxiang rushed forward and hugged her daughter, protecting her with her own body, and Princess Le also exclaimed in shock: "Big brother, what are you doing, Jinni is still young, how can she stand it...... Stop! ”

Yunxiang Hou shouted angrily: "Let go of her, this rebel girl has lost the face of our Hou Mansion, I won't teach her hard today, I don't know what lawless things she will do in the next day......" After saying that, he stepped forward to pull the daughter who was tightly hugged by his wife in her arms.

Prince Le and Princess glared at her son and said, "Huan'er, are you satisfied?" ”

Qi Jinghuan bowed slightly and said, "Mother, uncle disciplines his daughter, how can he have a place for his son's beak?" If you have no other instructions, the son will send his sister back to the rose garden first, and it will be time for her to drink the medicine later. ”

Prince Le snorted angrily, but it was not good to hold her son and not let him send her concubine back, after all, Qi Jingshu's bleak illness looked shocking, if she really had three longs and two shorts, Prince Le would have a reputation for abusing concubines. This is something that Prince and Princess Le are absolutely unwilling.

Qi Jinghuan said lightly to the Yunxiang Marquis and his wife: "Uncle and aunt sit slowly, and this king is less accompanied." So he ordered someone to come in and lift the chaise longue and send his sister back to the Rose Garden.

Yunxiang Hou has never suffered such idleness, and he has nowhere to vent his anger, so he can only whip his daughter with thorns.

Prince Le and Princess Le said angrily: "Enough, big brother, do you want to kill your daughter, Huan'er has already left, he won't come over again." ”

Yunxiang Hou was stunned, the hand holding the wattle raised high hung down weakly, Mrs. Yunxiang Hou hurriedly hugged her daughter into her arms again, Song Jinni was first greatly stimulated, and then whipped by her father, she was originally a delicate little girl, how could she bear this, and was hugged by her mother, Song Jinni fainted in her mother's arms.

Mrs. Yunxiang Hou was already distressed with blood, and when she saw her daughter fainting, she was even more angry, she was extremely sad and resentful, and her daughter fainted and did not ask her sister-in-law for help, but only tried her best to pick up her daughter and staggered out.

"Sister-in-law......" Prince Le and Princess Le took two steps and shouted. Mrs. Yunxiang Hou slowly turned around with her daughter in her arms, stared at Prince Le and Concubine Le, and said coldly: "Don't worry, Concubine Niangniang, from now on, my daughter and I will never step into the palace again!" ”

Hearing this, Yunxiang Hou shouted angrily at his wife: "What nonsense are you talking about! ”

Mrs. Yunxiang Hou looked at her husband and shouted bitterly: "Master, you haven't understood it yet, people are afraid that we will get involved in the palace and want to break off our relationship with us in a different way." Wake up, sir! With that, Mrs. Yunxiang Hou turned around and walked out.

Prince Le frowned and shouted, "Big brother......"

Yunxianghou sighed heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Wanwan, how could you make such a scene!" With that, he turned around and left.

Prince Le's tears flowed out, she didn't know how she got into such a field, it shouldn't be like this! She has no husband, only a son and her mother's family, and her son should have the same heart as her mother's family, why is it so troublesome, what should she do in the future! On one side is her son, and on the other hand, she is a parent, why do you have to force her to choose one of the two! The more she thought about it, the more angry Princess Le became, she couldn't help but be angry with her concubine Qi Jingshu, if it weren't for her, how could this matter not be out of control today.

Seeing the concubine's gloomy face, the maids and grandmothers who were serving on the side didn't dare to speak, they had only been transferred to Zezhiyuan not long ago, except for Chunying, who was promoted to a first-class maid, no one entered the eyes of the concubine, and everyone looked at Chunying, hoping that she could persuade the concubine to say a few words, lest they eat melons in vain.

Chunying received the eyes of a group of maids and grandmothers, and naturally had a little pride in her heart, they were a group of people who entered the house, and now she is the best one to mix. She thought for a while, quietly stepped back and made a bowl of longan red date tea, and persuaded with a smile: "Niangniang, the slave maid is shallow, but she also knows that the uncle and the eldest lady are your brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, and they are relatives who break bones and tendons. ”

After listening to her words, Prince and Concubine Le felt a little comforted in her heart, took the tea cup and took a sip, the temperature of the tea was not lukewarm or hot, and a sip of sweet tea entered her throat, Princess Le only felt full of relish, and felt that her mood was much better.

Seeing that Chunying only used a cup of longan red date tea to coax the concubine to ease her anger, everyone secretly praised Chunying's good methods. A few little maids also moved to learn the skills of making tea from Chunying, everyone knows that the concubine loves to eat Chunying's tea the most, if she learns it, she will have a chance to stand out in front of the concubine in the future.

After eating half a cup of longan red date tea, Prince Le and Princess Le put down the tea cup in her hand, inspected the people standing on the side, and felt a layer of annoyance in her heart, now these people are all fresh faces, except for Chunying, she can't even call her name, let alone say any henchmen or confidants. Now she wants to send a henchman to the Rose Garden to have a look, but she can't choose a suitable candidate. There are some things that need to be understood by the subordinates themselves, and the master will not say it directly. Prince and Concubine Le looked at those people, and said secretly in her heart: I'm afraid that except for Chunying, no one understands what she means.

"Chunying, go to the Rose Garden to see how the third miss is doing, and tell Concubine Li, if the third lady needs anything, just go to the treasury to get it." Prince Le and Concubine Le pondered for a moment and instructed Chunying.

Chunying bent her knees and hurried to the rose garden. When she entered the rose garden, she happened to be directly opposite Qi Jinghuan who was walking from the inside out, Chunying hurriedly retreated to the side and knelt down to salute, her attitude was extremely deferential and very well-behaved, she neither hooked up with Qi Jinghuan with affectionate eyes, nor did she pose gracefully to show her good figure.

"The servant greets the prince." Chunying said in a slightly trembling voice.

Qi Jinghuan often walks around Zezhi Garden, and he still has an impression of Chunying, a first-class girl personally promoted by his mother. Qi Jinghuan frowned slightly and asked, "You are from Zezhiyuan, how did you come here?" ”

Chunying lowered her eyebrows and gave a pleasing report, Qi Jinghuan smiled faintly, waved her sleeves and said, "Since the concubine asked you to come to see the third lady, then go quickly." With that, he walked quickly.

When Qi Jinghuan disappeared from the figure, Chun Ying looked at the direction he left, and a different color flashed in her eyes. Quickly retracting her eyes, Chun Ying continued to walk towards the rose garden.

"Niangniang, Chunying from Zezhiyuan is here." A little maid flew into the room of the third lady, Qi Jingshu, and reported in a hurry.

Concubine Li nodded, wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, and did not show the slightest panic, "Please come in, Miss Chunying." Concubine Li said in a slightly hoarse voice. Her voice was originally very good, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, but because she had been crying for too long just now, her voice was hoarse and lost its usual softness and sweetness.

Chunying was led in, and she looked at the third young lady Qi Jingshu lying on the bed without a trace, only to see the third young lady lying with her eyes closed, and her face was no different from when she was in Zezhi Garden just now. "Slave Chunying, please side concubine Niang Niang, third lady Ann." Chun Ying saluted first, then stood up straight and said softly: "Niang Niang is extremely worried about the third miss, and specially ordered the slave maid to come over to see the third miss for the maid, and the maid also asked the slave to tell the concubine Niangniang, what does the third lady need, you just send someone to the library to get it, Niang Niang said, we can use all the medicines in the palace, just pick up the good ones, and we must let the third miss recover." ”

When Concubine Li heard Chunying mention the concubine, she immediately stood up and bowed her head slightly to listen to her, as if she was in front of the concubine. After Chunying finished passing on the concubine's words, Concubine Li sat down again. Chunying stood in front of the bed, seemingly unintentionally gently holding the wrist of the third lady Qi Jingshu, and said with an anxious face: "Third miss, you have to get better soon......" In fact, Chunying was secretly testing Qi Jingshu's pulse, and after confirming that the third lady's pulse was extremely weak and intermittent, it was the unconscious pulse, Chunying knew it in her heart, so she let go of her hand and stood up straight, and said to Concubine Li: "Third Miss is deeply blessed, and she will definitely get better soon, don't worry too much about Concubine Fang, so as not to hurt her body." I wonder if Miss San has taken medicine since she came back? Chunying noticed that there was a light brown stain on the head of the brocade quilt covered by the third lady, so she asked again.

Concubine Li Fang reluctantly smiled: "Just now I was strong for half a pill, Mr. Du said that the third lady can't drink the medicine by herself, for fear that the strong will hurt her throat, so you have to let the third miss slow down for a while before feeding." Alas, the third lady really suffered. Oh, thank you, Miss Chunying, and see how I can say this. When the third lady is a little better, I will accompany her to say goodbye to the concubine. ”

Chunying responded with a smile and bowed to leave. Concubine Li made a look, and the maid next to her immediately sent a small purse to Chunying's hand, and Chunying was about to excuse herself, but Concubine Li said softly: "You can't ask the girl to run hard, the girl will buy fruit and eat it." Chunying didn't shirk it and put away her purse.

After walking out of the rose garden, Chunying opened her purse and poured it out to take a look, only to see that there were only two silver horns in her palm, which added up to only four or five dollars of silver, she couldn't help but pout, and secretly scolded in her heart, "It's really shabby, poor ghost!" Although she scolded in her heart, Chunying still put the silver horn back into her purse and carefully put it away.

After Chunying left, Concubine Li ordered the maid to retreat, personally guarded her daughter's side, and called in a very low voice: "Chunying is gone, Jingshu, take that thing out, it's not so bad." ”

Qi Jingshu, who was lying motionless, hummed softly, and after a period of trembling, Qi Jingshu took out a hemp walnut the size of a child's fist. It turned out that she just clamped this thing under her armpit, and pinched it hard from time to time, so that her pulse was intermittent, and she deceived Chunying's secret pulse.

"Auntie, this method taught by Mr. Du is really spiritual!" Qi Jingshu whispered.

It turned out that this qiē was arranged by Qi Jinghuan and Mr. Du. Qi Jinghuan knew that his uncle would definitely bring his fifth cousin to the palace to perform a guilty play, which made his mother even more dissatisfied with his sister Qi Jingshu, so he prepared in advance. First, let Mr. Du use acupuncture to create the illusion that Qi Jingshu was in a coma, and then let people carry Qi Jingshu to Zezhiyuan, no one can force an unconscious patient to say what to do, so Yunxianghou's attempt to secretly force Qi Jingshu failed. When he took Qi Jingshu back to the Rose Garden, Mr. Du took a few more stitches, and Qi Jingshu came to her senses and just took the medicine she had just decocted. In order to make the play more realistic, Concubine Li also deliberately dropped a drop of medicinal juice on the quilt, which really fooled Chunying, who boasted of her excellent observation ability.

Chunying returned to Zezhiyuan and reported her observations to Prince Le and Concubine Le in detail, and after listening to Chunying's reply, Prince Le believed that the concubine was really sick, and the resentment in her heart subsided a little.

Qi Jinghuan returned to Ruisong Garden, Mr. Du looked at him with a really satisfied look, Mr. Du is old and sophisticated, how can he not guess Qi Jinghuan's intentions, from the post of the third lady Song Jinxia last time, to the punishment of the fifth lady this time, Qi Jinghuan is secretly pushing behind his back, his purpose is actually very simple, that is, to cut off the hearts of those cousins who are trying to marry into the palace from the root. Everyone in the Yunxiang Marquis Mansion thought that their thoughts were hidden very deeply, but they didn't know that Qi Jinghuan had already seen through it. Now he only thinks about staying and flying with Huangfu Yongning, and he doesn't want any cousin to stick a stick between them, so he wants to cut off a qiē sprout from the root.

"The prince has worked hard, and the old man will carefully tell Marshal and the Major General about this matter." Mr. Du said with a smile.

Qi Jinghuan's face was slightly red, and he bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Du, by the way, sister-in-law......"

Mr. Du proudly stroked his long hair like silver threads, and said with great certainty: "It's just that it takes more time, and the old lady will not have any problems in the future." ”

Qi Jinghuan immediately said: "Thank you, Mr. Du, by the way, I don't know what my father-in-law said to you in the last letter......

Mr. Du smiled and said: "It's done, it is estimated that you should receive a reply in another four or five days, and the prince does not need to worry." ”

Qi Jinghuan smiled: "That's good, Mr. Hard." ”

Mr. Du waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, lord, come into the room and let the old man take your pulse." ”

Qi Jinghuan responded with a smile, raised his legs and walked into Mr. Du's room, Mr. Du saw that Qi Jinghuan's legs and feet were obviously much stronger than before, and nodded with relief. After checking the pulse, Mr. Du said slowly: "The prince's body has improved greatly, although the problem has not been solved, but the impact on your body is much smaller, which is really gratifying." Speaking of which, the old man was foolish, if he had let you practice the mental method with the marshal earlier, I am afraid that it would be even better now. ”
