Chapter 100: Torment
Since Lu Zhiqing returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion that day and was drugged by Lin Yixiang when she came back, the relationship between her and Lin Yixiang has never been able to return to the way it was before. Married to the backyard of the deep palace, she can't go home if she wants to. Lin Yixiang often disappeared, and sometimes even in the palace, he would not sleep in the same room with Lu Zhiqing at night. The servants in the palace are all observant of words and feelings, and after more than half a month, everyone almost understands what is going on.
Lu Zhiqing is worried every day, without children, she has no confidence that she can keep her status. Now is the critical time, and she is even afraid that sometimes when she wakes up, she will see Lin Yixiang bring back another woman and become her "good sister".
Lu Zhiqing endured this torment alone, unable to see her relatives, and had nowhere to tell her grievances. Therefore, when she saw Ye Shengnan who appeared in front of her, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and she was shaking.
Ye Shengnan looked at Lu Zhiqing's teary eyes, and hurriedly walked to her side and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Uncle." Lu Zhiqing grabbed Ye Shengnan's sleeve and said with a crying voice: "I miss my mother." ”
"Look at your little bit of talent!" When Ye Shengnan heard Lu Zhiqing's words, he rolled his eyes helplessly. Looking around, Ye Shengnan whispered, "Let's go, go into the house, I have something to say to you." ”
Lu Zhiqing nodded again and again, brought Ye Shengnan into the room, and drove all the maidservants except Qianluo out of the door. Lu Zhiqing watched expectantly as Ye Shengnan took out a letter from his arms and gave it to himself, but after reading the letter, Lu Zhiqing's mood became even lower.
The letter was written by Ye Lianrong, except for some cold and warm questions, the rest was just to ask Lu Zhiqing if there was any movement in his stomach. Lu Zhiqing was already upset by this matter, and when Ye Lianrong asked like this, she felt even more sad.
Lu Zhiqing clutched the letter and was silent for a long time, and with no way out, she decided to tell Ye Lianrong about it. But he also knows what kind of virtue his uncle is on weekdays, if he knows that the Seventh Prince refuses to let him conceive a child, Lu Zhiqing thought, then it is estimated that many people will know about this matter soon.
"Qianluo, go and prepare pen and ink for me." Lu Zhiqing called Qianluo, who was waiting at the door, got up and went over, and wrote a letter to Ye Lianrong with a complicated mood, Lu Zhiqing handed the letter to Ye Shengnan with a solemn expression, and advised: "Please uncle must deliver the letter to my mother's hand." ”
"Uncle, don't worry!" Ye Shengnan patted his chest with an oath, and left after saying a few words to Lu Zhiqing. Lu Zhiqing looked at Ye Shengnan's back reluctantly, and after not seeing it, she sighed heavily and returned to the house.
Let Qianluo beat himself on the back for a while, Lu Zhiqing always felt unhappy. "Qianluo." Lu Zhiqing spoke in a low voice, raised his hand and patted Qianluo's hand on his shoulder, and asked, "Why do you want to come to this palace?" ”
"Back to the master, Qianluo was sold to the palace to be a maid when he was a child, and many things have long been remembered." Qianluo recalled the past and smiled with relief. She saw that there was something wrong with Lu Zhiqing's mood recently, and she could somehow figure out the reason. After staying in the palace for so many years, there are too many things she knows. Although Lu Zhiqing is the Seventh Imperial Concubine, she is not like the life that the Seventh Imperial Concubine should have. Appearance is the reason on the one hand, and on the other hand, Lu Zhiqing doesn't know how to please him.
"Master." Qianluo walked around to Lu Zhiqing's body and said hesitantly: "There are some things that the slave doesn't know whether to say or not." ”
"What words? You name it. ”
Qianluo has been with Lu Zhiqing for a while, and he has a similar temperament to this master. "Master, in this palace, Qianluo has seen the ups and downs of too many mothers. But most of the people who can persist to the bottom and sit in high positions are also people who can endure it. Forgive the slave and the maid for being brave, the slave and the maid just want to remind the master that if you are not favored, you must not be seen by others from your face. If the joy, anger and sorrow are too obvious, someone will one day be caught. The palace is different from the outside of the palace, does the master understand? ”
Lu Zhiqing listened to Qianluo's words with some shock, and nodded slowly. "I understand, I understand what you're saying. But what else can I do? ”
"Boil. If the Seven Princes don't accept concubines for a day, we will all have a chance. Even if there is one more master in our courtyard, it may not be much higher than yours. Master, you are the daughter of Xiangye, think about it, is there anyone more powerful than Xiangye in this court? ”
A light flashed in Lu Zhiqing's mind, that's right, even if the Seventh Prince doesn't take himself in his eyes, he can't help but put her father in his eyes. As long as Lu Yuanzheng is the prime minister for one day, she will be the prime minister's daughter for one day. With this, no one else can do anything to her!
"You girl, you're quite smart, it seems that I didn't pick the wrong person." Lu Zhiqing took Qianluo's hand, "If you have anything to say in the future, just say it to me directly." Serve me well, and I will not do you any wrong. ”
"Master, rest assured, Qianluo will definitely be."
Ye Shengnan took the letter back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Ye Lianrong became angry after reading the content of the letter.
"What's wrong? Show me. Ye Shengnan curiously reached out to get the letter, but was avoided by Ye Lianrong.
Lu Zhiqing had already said in the letter that Ye Shengnan should not be allowed to know about this matter, and Ye Lianrong would not dare to show it to him. "It's not a big deal, I just feel that Qing'er has been in the past few days, and her stomach hasn't moved yet, so I'm just a little angry."
"Don't say it, this girl cried when she saw me today, saying she missed you! Look at her little bit of talent, she is still not satisfied with being served by someone in the palace, and she still wants to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion! ”
After Ye Shengnan finished speaking, he was glared at by Ye Lianrong fiercely. He looked at Ye Lianrong's unhappy expression, so he closed his mouth and drank tea, and didn't say anything more.
"Brother, that imperial doctor named Su Changfei, have you been in contact with him recently?"
"I haven't seen this old man for a long time, what's the matter, you're not feeling well?"
"Well, my waist has been hurting lately, and I've seen Langzhong, but it's not good. Why don't you call him over to me one day? Ye Lianrong asked perfunctorily.
"Okay, I'll find him for you when I get back. It's not too early, I'll go back first, otherwise my father will scold again. Ye Shengnan didn't think too much, nodded and stood up and left. Ye Lianrong read the letter again after Ye Shengnan left. Her eyes kept wandering in one of the sections, Ye Lianrong looked at Lu Zhiqing and wrote that Lu Zhiyao had an affair with the Seventh Prince, and what he said to the Seventh Prince, causing the Seventh Prince to stop touching her, the anger in her heart jumped higher and higher.
Lu Zhiyao, a slut, is more and more excessive every time! This time, I stepped on the nose of their mother and daughter!
The more Ye Lianrong thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but kick the door and walked out of the room, walking towards Lu Zhiyao's courtyard with a fierce attitude.
Lu Zhiyao was talking in the house with Bai Lixuan, who came in a hurry, but before he could say a few words, he heard Wanyue say loudly outside the door: "The second lady is here, are you here to find our young lady?" ”
Before Lu Zhiyao could say anything, he heard the door be kicked open with a "bang". She raised her hand and pressed Bai Lixuan's standing body, shook her head at him, and then turned her head to look at Ye Lianrong, who was full of anger.
The moment Lu Zhiyao saw Ye Lianrong, he also did self-examination. She thought about it very seriously, had she done anything recently that made her so angry? But after thinking about it, Lu Zhiyao couldn't come up with an answer.
"Who is he?" Ye Lianrong saw Bai Lixuan sitting next to Lu Zhiyao at a glance, sneered, Ye Lianrong said sarcastically: "You are really not small, you dare to bring wild men back in broad daylight!" There's no family in the house that you can look at? Started looking outside? ”
As soon as Ye Lianrong said this, Lu Zhiyao remembered that she had bribed the family named Lin Rong in an attempt to destroy her innocence.
Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly, looked at her indifferently, and said, "Erniang, I know that the weather has been a little hot recently, but your irritable temper is really a bit too much." What lies should you tell, what lies you shouldn't even make up, why have you lived a long time and still can't tell the difference? ”
"You little slut, don't come and teach me a lesson! Let me ask you, are you chewing your tongue in the ears of the Seven Princes again? Ye Lianrong didn't care so much, she took two steps forward and walked in front of Lu Zhiyao, and asked sharply.
Lu Zhiyao listened to her reminder and remembered something. With a thoughtful "ah", Lu Zhiyao smiled, and asked with an innocent look in his eyes: "What is Erniang talking about, why don't I understand?" ”
"You don't pretend to be confused for me, let me ask you, who is he?" Ye Lianrong pointed a little more and pointed at Bai Lixuan.
"The people of the Eighth Prince, they came to deliver a message to me." Lu Zhiyao stared at Ye Lianrong, unmoved. "Erniang, whatever you want to say, I won't stop you. But appropriately, you should also have some evidence. Frame me like this again and again, you don't feel tired, I'm a little annoyed. You always say that I have an adulterous affair with the Seventh Prince, and you don't want to think about it, what is the identity of the Seventh Prince? If your words reach his ears, will my sister's life in the palace be better in the future? Otherwise, it's better to do this, I'll go and find the Seventh Prince, ah yes, and my sister. How about we sit together and talk about this? ”
"Lu Zhiyao, don't deceive people too much!" Ye Lianrong couldn't match Lu Zhiyao's sharp teeth, and said loudly word by word.
"Who is the deceitful too much? Erniang, you slandered my innocence so much in front of the people of the Eighth Prince today, I can't treat this incident as if nothing happened. In case the eighth prince really believed your words and went to the emperor to dissolve the marriage contract, then how do you explain my father's side? Or do you think it's enough to have a sister marry the Seventh Prince, and we don't need the power of the Eighth Prince? ”
