Back in the palace, Lin Ling's heart still couldn't be calm.

She took out a turquoise medicine bottle that had been held tightly in the palm of her hand, uncorked it, and sniffed it closely, and a rich aroma hit her. Her heart tightened, and she quickly closed the cork and hid the small medicine bottle under the pillow.

This small medicine bottle was given to her by the national teacher, and she was asked to take one pill every day, so as to ensure the purity of the blood in her body. And the name of this pill is "Bloodthirsty Pill", a very weird and terrifying name, although the national teacher said that the effect of this pill is only to strengthen the purity of blood to yin, but Lin Ling always felt as if he wanted to exchange blood for her.

If she was asked to eat one pill a day, how would she dare to eat it?

But what if she wanted to go back then, wouldn't she have ruined this good time in vain?

Lin Ling hesitated, but still hesitated to take out the medicine bottle, took out one, and slowly put it into his mouth.

If you eat it now, it doesn't mean that you will use it in the future, but if you don't eat it, you will regret it later.

"Princess, someone from Qin Houfu has sent a post." As soon as Lin Ling swallowed the pill, Caixia walked in with Hongyan's post.

Lin Ling touched his stomach, eating it was the same as not eating, although the aroma was very strong, but there was no taste, it melted when he put it in his mouth, it seems that this pill should not be harmful to the body. Lin Ling hid the medicine bottle, took the post in Caixia's hand, and opened it casually, and was stunned when he saw it.

Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Bo are really fast, it's only been a few days, and the post has been written, this wedding card is red and gorgeous, wrapped with gold paper on the side, the text in the post is elegant and calm, and a lot of work has been put into it, and the overall look is luxurious and noble. The date is set at the end of this month, and the time is really rushed. But Mrs. Qin was anxious for Qin Yiyan to get married, and Bo Fu was very happy about this family business, and it was normal to get married at the end of the month.

In what Lin Ling thought was normal, Ma Xiaoge secretly blamed Old Madam Qin for being anxious.

Marriage with the Bo family is something that Old Madam Qin has always looked forward to, and Ma Xiaoge has always known it. She has been secretly planning how to become Qin Yiyan's concubine before Miss Bo enters the door, but before the plan can be implemented, she was summoned into the palace by the queen's mother, and after more than half a month, many things have been delayed.

And to become the aunt of the Marquis of Qin's Mansion, you must be recognized by the old lady Qin, and then the nod of the little marquis of Qin.

Old Madam Qin, she didn't think there was any problem, but with Little Marquis Qin, she had been thinking about it for three years, and there was a way. However, if she succeeds, she can naturally become Aunt Ma of Qinhou Mansion, if she fails, then ...... It is estimated that she will no longer have the face to stay in the Qinhou Mansion.

Ma Xiaoge glanced at the tray in his hand, took a breath, and knocked on the door: "Master Hou, you have been busy outside for a day today, and I specially let the kitchen stew soup to replenish your body." ”

Qin Yiyan opened the door and saw that it was Ma Xiaoge, but he smiled and said, "It's so late, don't be busy, rest early." ”

Ma Xiaoge shook his head and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, I shouldn't have bothered you, but if you don't say something, you won't have a chance......" Her head was getting lower and lower, and her thick bangs covered her eyes and cheeks tightly, as if she also hid her emotions.

Qin Yiyan smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, you can ...... tomorrow."

"Master Hou, I really can't find anyone to say, you can fulfill me!" Ma Xiaoge's voice trembled slightly, but with a hint of irresistible determination, she raised her head, her eyes were full of determination, and she walked into the study, her hands crossed and her eyes staring at Qin Yiyan tightly.

Qin Yiyan also walked in with a tray, put the soup cup on the desk, looked at Ma Xiaoge, and was silent without speaking.

This girl is Lin Ling's good sisters, and she has lived in Qinhou Mansion for more than three years. Living under the same roof, how could he not see through this girl's mind? However, he doesn't like her, and the reason why he takes care of her so much is nothing more than because she is Xiaoling's friend. He waited for Coco to marry and then give her a good family affair, even if he wasn't with Xiaoling, he wouldn't be with Ma Xiaoge.

It was very late at night, and she came to the study full of thoughts, and she could imagine what she could say.

And at the end of this month, he will marry Bo Yizhu, the eldest lady of Bo Mansion.

He had never seen this woman before, but his mother and Coco said it was suitable, so it would be suitable.

"Master Hou, you will get married soon." Ma Xiaoge smiled bitterly, "Miss Bo is about to become the mistress of this Qinhou Mansion, and from now on, this Qinhou Mansion will no longer need me...... Master Hou, in the past three years, Xiaoge has thanked you and Mrs. Qin for taking care of you, if it weren't for you, how could I be now? ”

Qin Yiyan was a little gloomy: "Ma Daopo died unfortunately in Qinhou Mansion, and it is also appropriate to take care of you." ”

Ma Xiaoge smiled bitterly, yes, the innocent death of her mother was the main reason why the Qinhou Mansion took her in.

And the reason why she stayed in Qinhou Mansion was to avenge her mother, but three years have passed, and the enemy family has still not been found. On the contrary, she is not willing to leave here at all, she is taking care of every brick and tile, grass and tree in this Qinhou Mansion, she knows every person in the mansion, this has long been her home, how can she leave?

"Master Hou, I've been in the Hou Mansion for three years, it's time to leave, in this world, I only have a good sister Xiaoling, so I decided to go to her, at least, she is still the concubine of the dignified prince." Ma Xiaoge said slowly, word by word, each word was particularly clear, "However, I thought wrong, she ...... She is not as beautiful as I thought, and only I can see her suffering...... So I'm not going to trouble her, and when I'm done with the marrying of the Hou Mansion, I'll leave and go back to Quanzhou......"

"Xiaoling, how is she doing?" Qin Yiyan asked suddenly, his expression a little depressed.

Ma Xiaoge suddenly became full of taste, but this just made her breathe a sigh of relief, at least her plan was right.

She had long expected that there was some kind of affection between Qin Yiyan and Lin Ling, she had always thought that this kind of friendship was very faint, but she didn't expect that Old Madam Qin began to pay attention to it, and then she knew that Qin Yiyan's feelings had long been deeply rooted. He was reluctant to marry a wife, and was immersed in political affairs all day long, although the prestige of the Qin Hou Mansion spread day by day, but the old lady Qin's hair also turned gray one by one.

Qin Yiyan was reluctant to get married, because he didn't meet the right person.

The right person is Lin Ling, that's right.

Ma Xiaoge paused and said leisurely: "Xiaoling, she is a person with a knife in her tofu heart, although the concubines in the palace were all sent away by her, she was not ruthless, and she still treated those concubines well." But Master Hou, you should have also heard of what kind of person did the people in the capital say about her? A femme fatale, cruel, and jealous woman...... Because of these, the queen mother gave Xiaoling's power to Concubine Chen. That's it, as long as there is the favor of the Qing prince, what does it matter? However, the last time I went to the Qing Palace, I saw that Xiao Ling's eyes were red, and the eyes were all dark green...... What else am I going to do? Is it a problem for her? ”

Qin Yiyan was silent, did not speak, turned around and walked to the window, looking up at the unclear moon.

At the beginning, he shouldn't have let Lin Ling go to Quanzhou; At the beginning, he should have taken Lin Ling back to the Hou Mansion earlier; At the beginning, he should have forcibly taken Lin Ling away on the wedding night in the palace...... There are too many misses, which leads to today's guilt, anxiety and regret. In this world, there are no ifs, no assumptions, even if time can be turned back, Lin Ling is afraid that he will not go with him.

Qin Yiyan's mouth was full of bitterness, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

All that comes to mind is that face.

"Master Hou, although drinking hurts your body, but in this situation, it doesn't hurt to drink." Ma Xiaoge suddenly handed over a small wine glass and a glass with Qin Yiyan, "I'm going to leave the Qinhou Mansion where I have lived for three years, I really can't bear it, Master Hou, let's have this one." ”

"You...... Know? Qin Yiyan held the wine glass and said hesitantly.

Ma Xiaoge gently wiped the corners of his mouth: "I am such a good friend as Xiaoling, how can I not know?" She will tell me anything, she is also affectionate to Hou Ye, but creation makes people, there is no fate, let it go if you can. Hou Ye, those things are over, you have to look forward, Miss Bo will enter the door at the end of the month, Hou Ye should pack up his mood and prepare to start a new life. ”

"You're right, it's over." Qin Yiyan raised his head, drank a glass of wine, turned around and lifted the wine jug on the desk, and poured one cup after another into his mouth. His heart was full of bitterness, this was the first time he had heard Lin Ling's words of affection for him from other people's mouths, obviously the two were happy, why couldn't they be together?

"Master Hou, one cup is enough!" Ma Xiaoge hurriedly recaptured the wine jug in Qin Yiyan's hand, "Master Hou, you have to go to court tomorrow, it's also very late, let's rest early!" ”

Qin Yiyan smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaoge, you go out and let me be alone for a while." As he spoke, he snatched the wine jug from Ma Xiaoge's hand, poured it directly into his mouth, and then staggered down on the chair next to the desk.

"Master Hou, Master Hou...... You'll catch a cold if you sleep here! Ma Xiaoge pushed Qin Yiyan, but did not get the slightest response.

She hooked the corners of her mouth, this drunken incense was really effective, but the amount of a small fingernail made Qin Yiyan get drunk so quickly.

She didn't think about it anymore, picked up Qin Yiyan with difficulty, and walked towards the wing.

The moon slowly emerged from the clouds, and the cold moonlight sprinkled the earth.

Before dawn, Qin Keke was woken up by the mother-in-law in charge, saying that there was a problem with the repair of the new courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and asked her to take a look. At the end of the month, he will marry the wife of the Hou Mansion, and the matter of building a new courtyard is immediately put on the agenda, and the repair must be completed within this month. This matter originally had nothing to do with Qin Keke, but in the morning, the old housekeeper did not find the figure of Ma Xiaoge, who had always been the housekeeper, and the Hou Ye wanted to go to the court, and the old lady Qin didn't care about things, so she could only come and ask the eldest lady to take an idea.

"It's really strange today, Ma Xiaoge, who has always worked hard and complained, is lazy, okay, I must sue her in front of my mother!" Qin Keke said as he followed the old housekeeper to the new courtyard. When I passed by the study, I saw a girl standing at the door of the study with a red face, looking at a loss.

"What are you doing here? I want to be lazy, too, don't you! Qin Keke walked over and said angrily.

The girl waved her hand again and again: "No...... Miss, ...... inside" she stammered, and her head drooped lower and lower as she spoke. She comes to the study every day to clean up, and the Hou Ye will always deal with political affairs here late at night, and no one is allowed to disturb her, and she can only come the next day, who would have ......

"Look at you who have never seen the world, and I don't know how this Ma Xiaoge selected this girl!" As he spoke, Qin Keke pushed open the door of the study, only to see rice paper flying on the ground, and crooked wine jugs and wine glasses on the desk, and the room was full of the smell of wine. She frowned, looked up at the room behind the study, and walked in quickly.

"Ahh The moment Qin Keke opened the curtain, she saw two people sleeping naked on the bed, both of them with their backs to the door, she didn't see it clearly, her cheeks instantly turned crimson, and she turned around and ran out, "Housekeeper, send a few trouble-saving mothers-in-law to clean up!" Miss Ben wants to see who dares to do such a foolish thing in her brother's study! ”

Hearing Qin Keke's words, the old housekeeper's face changed greatly, and he acted extremely quickly, and several powerful mothers-in-law immediately came to the study.

"Hou ...... Hou Ye ......" Several mothers-in-law lifted the quilt and paused, and knelt down in unison to salute.

Qin Yiyan pressed the corner of his aching forehead, opened his eyes and looked at the mother-in-law kneeling under the bed, and said unhappily: "What are you doing here?" ”

"It's the young lady who asked the old slave to come ......," a mother-in-law said weakly, didn't she say that there were little maids and maids in the Hou Ye's study? How did you lift the quilt and see that it was the prince? That...... Who is the woman sleeping next to her?

Qin Yiyan sat up, picked up the clothes on the side and put them on, turned his head but was stunned, a woman's sleeping face was beside him.

The events of last night were replayed in my mind intermittently.

"You go down first!" Qin Yiyan said coldly, pulled down the veil on the bed suddenly, looked at the sleeping woman beside him, and sighed suddenly.

"It's my brother in there?" Qin Keke said in a loud voice outside, "Brother, why didn't you go to the early dynasty today?" Also, what's going on? Who is that woman? Get dressed and come out, I have a lot to ask you! ”

Qin Yiyan moved slowly and got dressed, wanting to wake up Ma Xiaoge, but thinking of Qin Keke, who was constantly making noise outside, he stopped talking.

What happened last night, whether intentionally or unintentionally, was that he failed Ma Xiaoge, if Lin Ling knew, I am afraid that he would be extremely disappointed in him. Qin Yiyan smiled bitterly, he couldn't be with Lin Ling, so what does it matter who he is with? If Ma Xiaoge is willing, then it is not impossible to take her as a concubine, anyway...... That's it.

"Master Hou, I won't embarrass you, I will leave the Hou Mansion tomorrow." Ma Xiaoge suddenly opened his eyes, and his tone was indifferent, "You don't have to say anything, go and explain to the young lady first, let me be alone for a while." ”

"You ......" Qin Yiyan's words stuck in his throat, he still didn't say anything, got up and walked out of the room.

Immediately, Qin Keke's voice kept asking outside, chattering, but Qin Yiyan kept silent and didn't reveal anything.

Ma Xiaoge got up and got dressed slowly, this step has already gone out, and there is no turning back.

"You have been working tirelessly to take care of family affairs in Qinhou Mansion for more than three years, how could I just let you go?" Old Madam Qin stopped knocking on Muyu's hand, and slowly opened her eyes and looked at Ma Xiaoge, "You can live in peace, I have already entrusted someone to talk about your family affairs, I am afraid that there will be results in the next few days." ”

"Old lady, you misunderstood." Ma Xiaoge said in a low voice, "It's really that there is no one left here......

Old Madam Qin stood up suddenly: "It must be that cocoa girl who is embarrassing you again, don't worry, I will talk about her well." ”

"No, Miss didn't embarrass me......" Ma Xiaoge sighed, "Old lady, Xiaoge is really going to leave, otherwise there will be many misunderstandings." Xiao Ge has long regarded the Qinhou Mansion as his home, and he only hopes that the family will be peaceful, and only when Xiao Ge leaves is the best choice. The old lady doesn't want to stay, Xiaoge has already made up her mind. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Old Madam Qin frowned and looked at Ma Xiaoge sternly.

Ma Xiaoge's heart trembled, his eyes were misty with tears in an instant, and he covered his mouth: "Old lady should go and ask Master Hou......" As he spoke, he turned around and ran out, but the low crying voice still reached the ears of Old Madam Qin.

Old Madam Qin stood up, wrinkled her eyebrows, and ordered the person beside her: "You go and call Master Hou." ”

Ma Xiaoge returned to his residence and slowly packed his salute, every piece of clothing was extremely heavy.

If Qin Xiaohou Ye left her, then she would have succeeded; If she didn't stay, then she would have to leave. Ma Xiaoge touched his stomach, assuming that there was a small seed here, then it would be a real success. However, it was not so fast, and at that time, if she was to determine her status, she would definitely be abused by the people in the Hou Mansion.

Hehe, I just hope that Old Madam Qin can hurt her more.

Her requirements are not high, as long as she can stay in the Qin Hou Mansion, what about becoming a concubine?

If Old Madam Qin didn't plan to take care of this matter, then she really had to go to Lin Ling to come forward for her.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door of the wing.

Old Madam Qin and Qin Yiyan walked in together.

"Xiaoge, no matter what, it's this kid who has failed you, I can't let you go and let you go, there is no such reason in the world!" Old Madam Qin said lightly, looking at Qin Yiyan coldly, "Say, what are you going to do?" ”

Ma Xiaoge didn't speak, and looked at Qin Yiyan expectantly with a pair of eyes.

However, to her disappointment, Qin Yiyan did not speak, and also remained silent.

She smiled bitterly, turned her back, and said, "Miss Bo is about to enter the door, I'd better leave as soon as possible......"
