"The concubine is grateful to the concubine, how dare she not believe the prince." Xiao Zijin said lightly, having said that, there is always a smell of grievance.

She thought that she would meet the current prince in the imperial garden that day, so she thought that she could also win a place in the harem, but she thought that the concubine had already taken a fancy to her, and a decree summoned her into the concubine's bedroom, and bluntly said that she wanted her to be her daughter-in-law, saying that she would be promised a lifetime of glory, during which the attitude was arrogant and cold, Xiao Zijin had no time to refuse.

Because of this incident, Xiao Zijin's low mood in those days almost didn't ease, and later learned that the prince was not in the palace at all that day, and he suddenly felt that his hard work was in vain, and the whole person was even more numb.

Later, I heard that the epidemic in Linshan County was serious, and the emperor sent Qi Xiuchao, the king of Yu, to inspect the people's situation.

Xiao Zijin didn't have time to react at that time, when he heard the figure say in a low voice, "Pack your luggage and go to Linshan County with this king." ”

And then there was the aftermath.

Qi Xiuchao now listened to Xiao Zijin's words full of grievances, and couldn't help but let out a low chuckle, raised his eyebrows and said, "Marrying this king is indeed wronged by you, but it's a pity that the prince was not in the palace at that time, otherwise, if he sees you, I'm afraid that something like Brother Ni Wall may happen......"

"The concubines are not unwilling." Xiao Zijin just said lightly with a cold face, but the plain hand hidden under his sleeve involuntarily clenched.

How could she be unwilling? She is naturally unwilling! It took so much effort and so many years of planning. even used the only relic left by Xiao Zihuan's mother to buy off so many officials and eunuchs, and in the end. But the concubine gave her to her son! How willing does this make her!

Qi Xiuchao curled his lips slightly and smiled, then picked up the remaining cup of tea on the table and drank it all, relatively speechless.

Lin Mei was wandering the street alone, these days the plague broke out in Linshan County, and even the street was much deserted, Lin Mei wanted to find a carriage to take her to her house, but there was not even a single idler on the street. Not to mention an idle carriage?

In desperation, Lin Mei had no choice but to walk slowly to her house alone, and when she didn't pay attention, she bumped into a passerby who was hurriedly carrying a big burden and a small burden.

"Uncle. Are you okay......" Lin Mei rubbed her aching forehead, and asked patiently and good-naturedly, but when she raised her head, she saw an acquaintance.

That person was the Imperial Doctor Zhang whom Lin Mei had seen when she was in the capital some time ago, the one who helped Qian Fangyu take her pulse. In the end, he was angry with Mrs. Shu because of the medicinal materials. Lin Mei really didn't expect to see him here.

"Imperial Doctor Zhang?" Lin Mei just wanted to call Imperial Doctor Zhang, but when she saw that he was hit, she didn't even look at herself, and hurriedly walked forward with the burden in her arms.

"What a weirdo......" Lin Mei couldn't help pouting when she saw that Imperial Doctor Zhang ignored her, and she didn't take this matter to heart, and continued to walk to her house with the purse in her sleeve, from here to her house, if you take the forest path, it only takes two pillars of incense time, so Lin Mei is not in a hurry.

Lin Mei had just passed by with Imperial Physician Zhang. I saw a large number of soldiers with spears in their hands going from house to house, and when they saw her, they didn't react much. It's just a little soldier who is familiar with Lin Mei and asked casually, "Sister of the Lin family, did you see this man just now?" ”

The little soldier spread out the silk painting in his hand and held it up to Lin Mei to see, and the painting was the Imperial Doctor Zhang who had just been bumped into by Lin Mei.

"You ...... How are you looking for this person? Lin Mei couldn't help frowning, a little puzzled, it was very abnormal for Imperial Doctor Zhang to appear in Linshan County, and now these soldiers in Linshan County are looking for Imperial Doctor Zhang, which is even more abnormal.

"Sister of the Lin family, have you seen this person in the painting?" When the little soldier saw that Lin Mei seemed to know the person on the painting, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

Lin Mei nodded and replied truthfully, "I just met him and went over there, but ...... Did the man commit any crime? You're looking for him with such fanfare. ”

"Hey, hasn't there been a plague outbreak in our county recently, I heard that several big people were sent down, including the prince, the person on this painting is the imperial doctor in the palace, who came with the prince, but recently the prince has disappeared, and the imperial doctor is also fleeing, and the county magistrate gave a death order to us to find this imperial doctor." The little soldier said with a sad face, he thought that the imperial doctor in this palace had some real talent no matter what he said, but he didn't expect that he would escape before them.

"Then you guys go quickly, he went over there......" Lin Mei didn't have a good impression of Imperial Doctor Zhang, and now she sneered at his escape from the battle, and she didn't have a good face.

After a series of events on the way, Lin Mei's journey was also delayed a lot, and when she walked to the long-lost maple forest, she saw her own mother standing in front of the fence and confronting a strange man, the man had his back to Lin Mei, and he didn't know who it was.

"Mother's ......" Seeing this, Lin Mei couldn't help but scold Wang Ergou in her heart, and lied to her that her mother had left Linshan County safely, so is it her mother's soul standing here now?

Phew...... The fairy is unscrupulous, the wind is blowing, and God must bless her mother with safety and safety......

Mrs. Lin didn't know what she was talking to the man, but when she heard Lin Mei's voice, she trembled, and immediately stopped talking, turned her head to look at Lin Mei suddenly, her expression couldn't help but change, her mouth snorted a few times, and finally reluctantly pulled up a smile, and said in a astringent voice, "Why are you back......"

The man also turned his head to look at Lin Mei, it turned out to be the frivolous man she and Liu Yufei met on their way back to Linshan County last time.

What's going on lately, how often do you meet acquaintances......

Lin Mei pursed her lips and muttered in her heart, and walked over directly to ignore the man, pursing the corners of her mouth and said to Mrs. Lin, "Mother, I'm not worried about you...... Otherwise, I won't come back! ”

Mrs. Lin's lips moved a few times, and she didn't seem to want to introduce Lin Mei to the man, so she took her hand and pulled her aside and whispered, "Why are you back!" Didn't you leave with Yufei before, since you're gone, don't come back! Right now...... Is!

After that, Mrs. Lin sighed a few times and looked at Lin Mei's eyes full of sadness. (To be continued......)
