Chapter 272: Temptation
Qiushuang and the others quickly retreated, leaving only Ruilian behind.
Ruilian is indeed Queen Xu's most confidant. Empress Xu asked her alone, and she did not shy away from Ruilian.
Ling Jingshu thought secretly in her heart, quietly waiting for Empress Xu to ask questions.
"I heard that Imperial Physician Wei has seen you and prescribed medicine, I wonder if your symptoms are cured?" Empress Xu seemed to open her mouth casually to ask.
It turned out to be asking about it.
Ling Jingshu had been mentally prepared since the day she entered the palace, and she had already thought of her words, and she bit her lip in embarrassment when she heard the words, and replied in a low voice: "Back to the queen's mother, the slave maid drank the medicine for more than two months before, but unfortunately there was no improvement. It seems that the disease of the slave and maid cannot be cured. After entering the palace, the slave stopped the medicine. ”
Is the disease really incurable?
A trace of joy flashed in Queen Xu's heart, but she said: "There is no reason to give up halfway in curing diseases." You are in the Jiaofang Palace, and when the palace summons the Imperial Doctor Wei to come to see you, let him take a look at it for you by the way, and continue to drink the medicine that should be drunk. You are a young girl's family, you can't go without marrying and having children for the rest of your life. ”
actually took the initiative to let Wei Yan treat her for her!
Would Empress Xu be so kind?
Ling Jingshu raised her head, her eyes flashed with tears, and her face was full of gratitude: "Thank you for the kindness of the queen mother." It's just that the entry of the slave into the palace is already a special case, and I don't know how many people are staring at the slave and maid's every move. The queen mother has been generous enough to treat the slaves and maids, and if it is rumored that Imperial Doctor Wei treats the slaves and maids, I don't know how many rumors will be spread. The slave and maid can't afford it. ”
Outside the palace, Wei Yan treated her, and no one would talk much.
entered the palace, she was just a female official. What else is eligible for Wei Yan to see? Wei Yan usually sees the emperor and queen, and the concubines in the palace dare not call Wei Yan to diagnose the pulse at will.
Queen Xu's "kindness" will make Ling Jingshu stand on the cusp of the storm, and her every move will attract attention.
No matter what the reason, Ling Jingshu must resolutely refuse this "grace"!
Ling Jingshu's attitude was so firm, which made Empress Xu a little surprised, and there was more thought in Ling Jingshu's eyes: "You really don't want to let Imperial Doctor Wei treat you?" ”
Ling Jingshu replied without hesitation: "Yes." The slave maid can accompany the queen every day, which is already a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes. Don't dare to ask for anything else! ”
Empress Xu stretched her brows and said with a smile: "Okay, if you don't want to, this palace is not reluctant." Fortunately, you are still young, and you don't need to contact any men when you are on an errand in the palace of the pepper house, so it doesn't hurt to keep this disease for treatment in the future. ”
Queen Xu wishes that her illness will never be cured!
However, fortunately, there are illnesses as shields. Even though Queen Xu didn't like her, she didn't have the heart to deal with her for the time being.
Ling Jingshu thanked her gratefully.
Empress Xu asked kindly: "You have been in the palace for more than half a month, can you still adapt here?" Have you ever encountered something that didn't go your way? Has anyone ever tried to make things difficult for you? If there is, just open your mouth and tell the palace, and the palace will definitely make the decision for you. ”
Ling Jingshu replied without thinking: "Everyone in the Jiaofang Palace treats slaves and maids very kindly, and no one makes things difficult for slaves and maids. The errands under the slave and maid are not heavy, and they can still cope with it. ”
thought that Ling Jingshu would take the opportunity to fall into the form of a goose. Unexpectedly, she didn't even say a word.
Empress Xu's eyes flashed, and she said pointedly: "There are a lot of newly cultivated varieties in the peony room, and you only lead a palace maid to take care of them, can you be busy?" If you're too busy, don't hold on. The palace has a flower feast every year, and the new peony is indispensable. ”
"Not only the slave maid, but also the two maids who followed the slave maid into the palace, they will also go to the peony room every day to help take care of the peony." Ling Jingshu smiled and responded, "When it comes to the flowering period in April, the slave will definitely not disappoint the queen mother." ”
Empress Xu tugged at the corners of her lips: "Since you said so, how can this palace not believe you." However, the main palace also has a word in advance. If the peony is planted well, the palace will have a heavy reward. If something goes wrong, this palace won't spare you. ”
Ling Jingshu solemnly agreed: "Please rest assured that the queen will never let the mother down!" ”
Empress Xu waved her hand, signaling that she could step back.
After Ling Jingshu retired and left, the smile on Empress Xu's face also faded.
This Ling Jingshu is even smarter than she imagined. She tried in every possible way just now, but Ling Jingshu coped with it without leakage, and she couldn't find fault at all.
"What a smart girl." Empress Xu seemed to be talking to herself, and seemed to have feelings: "Ruilian, you also saw it just now!" She's a little smarter than when you entered the palace. ”
Ruilian can become Queen Xu's confidant, and she has her own merits. Knowing when to say something, he smiled and said, "Yes, the slave thinks so too." This Ling Jingshu is much stronger than a slave. ”
Empress Xu glanced at Ruilian with a smile: "What this palace admires most is not smart people, but those who are loyal to this palace." If you dare to have any other thoughts behind this palace's back, you can blame this palace for being ruthless. ”
This is the real Queen Xu.
Never really trust anyone.
On an errand beside Queen Xu, she will always tremble and be afraid!
Ruilian's heart trembled, and she hurriedly expressed her loyalty: "The queen mother is a clear guide." The slave has always been loyal to her mother and has never had a second heart. No matter what the mother commands, the slave will do her best to complete it. ”
Empress Xu tugged at the corners of her lips and smiled faintly: "Look at you, this palace is just talking casually." What are you doing so nervously. If this palace can't even trust you, where is there a credible person around here. ”
Ruilian smiled flatteredly, and as for how she felt in her heart, only she knew best.
……
Walking out of the Jiaofang Palace, cold sweat was already oozing from Ling Jingshu's palms.
Every time she confronts Queen Xu, she has to cheer up all her spirits, do her best, and dare not relax at all. It seems to be easy and easy, but in fact it is full of dangers.
It's like walking on the tip of a knife, if you're not careful, you'll fall into the abyss.
Of course, she hasn't gained nothing these days.
and Ruilian Qiushuang maintained a relationship not far and not close, and gradually gained a firm foothold in the Jiaofang Palace. secretly pays attention to the people and things around him, and understands more and more about Queen Xu's methods.
Because the time is still short, I haven't found any particularly important news yet.
However, the most important thing to do eyeliner is patience.
It's like a dagger hidden in the shadows, no one notices and no one knows, and when it is revealed at the most critical and critical moment, it will have a surprise effect. (To be continued.) )
