Chapter 149: Expected

As the night deepened, at the west gate of the palace, a palace car slowly drove out and headed towards the Yuwang Mansion, and after a while, it was drowned in the bustling crowd.

Nangong Yu of Yuwangfu just walked out of Tinglanxuan, only to see the guards trotting over in a hurry, kneeling down on one knee and saying: "Lord Qiqi, the little Lingzi father-in-law in the palace came and said that he was ordered by the emperor to let the prince go to the front yard to receive the order."

Nangong Yu frowned slightly, his dark eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice: "I know, you go down first", looking at the direction of the front yard, the deep eyes instantly revealed a cold gaze.

In the front yard, Xiao Lingzi did not enter the house, but waited for Nangong Yu's arrival with a slight hunched back, and there were four little eunuchs standing beside him, each holding a wooden inlaid gold-framed box in his hand, about two feet long and one foot wide, which contained the best ginseng and deer antler velvet, as well as the royal gold sore medicine and blood circulation and stasis.

After a while, I saw Nangong Yu dressed in a moon-white robe, looking very casual and free, and the coldness was hidden all over his body, and on his cold face, he forced out a faint smile and walked towards Xiao Lingzi, "Let Linggong wait for a long time."

"The prince's noble body, the slave will never dare to be a slave in this matter", Xiao Lingzi first saluted Nangong Yu, and then looked at him without a trace, and secretly said in his heart, the prince seems to be very leisurely.

Nangong Yu took in Xiao Lingzi's small movements, and the chill in his heart became more and more intense, but he still pretended to be okay on the surface, shook his robe, and said with a smile: "I don't know if the emperor made an order late at night, what is the so-called thing?"

Xiao Lingzi smiled flatteringly, and immediately waved his hand to the four little eunuchs beside him, and the little eunuchs immediately opened the lid of the wooden box in their hands, only to see that there were precious tonic herbs such as ginseng and deer antler velvet neatly placed inside, and then, Xiao Lingzi put away his smile, showed a touch of rigor, and said loudly: "King Yu takes the order."

Nangong Yu slowly knelt on the ground, and knelt down with all the slave guards in the courtyard, "The emperor said, I learned that Princess Lu Yuan of Wuge City came to the capital and was seriously injured, and the special person sent good nourishing medicine, I hope that the princess will recover as soon as possible, and after the princess recovers, I will hold a banquet in the palace to wash the dust for the princess, and I will admire this."

Xiao Lingzi conveyed Nangong Ling's words to Nangong Yu step by step, in fact, it doesn't matter whether you see the princess or not, the most important thing is to let Nangong Yu know, this is enough.

Sure enough, after Nangong Yu heard Xiao Lingzi's dictation, his face changed, and his eyes sank, Nangong Ling actually knew Lu Yuan's identity? Damn, it seems that there are still his people in the palace.

"Lord Wang, you, hurry up and take the order", Xiao Lingzi looked at Nangong Yu motionlessly, knowing in his heart, and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

"Minister, take the order, thank you for Princess Lu Yuan", then, Nangong Yu stood up, asked the guards to take the wooden box in the hands of the little eunuch, looked at Xiao Lingzi lazily, and said lightly: "Father-in-law Lao Ling conveyed the words of this king to the emperor, and said that this king thanked the emperor for Princess Lu Yuan's kindness, but the princess was very injured and couldn't get out of bed for three or five months, I'm afraid I will disappoint the emperor."

Xiao Lingzi was slightly stunned, and then smiled lightly: "The princess came to the capital this time, how can there be no reason not to see the emperor?" Moreover, the imperial doctor in the palace has rejuvenated his skill, and the prince does not have to worry too much, the emperor will definitely arrange for the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the princess."

Nangong Yu's body stiffened when he heard this, his black eyes were a little colder, and he looked directly at Xiao Lingzi and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for the emperor's kindness, this king has found a famous doctor to treat the princess's injuries, but the princess's injuries are painful, and she will have to be raised in bed for at least three or five months to recover as before, presumably the emperor doesn't want the princess to drag her feet to the palace for a banquet, right?"

Xiao Lingzi avoided Nangong Yu's cold eyes, lowered his head and said with a smile: "The will of the slave has been conveyed to the prince, it's time to return to the palace to resume his life, but the slave will definitely convey the words of the prince to the emperor", after that, Xiao Lingzi led the four little eunuchs around Nangong Yu and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

"Come on, send Linggong Gong", Nangong Yu instructed the guards on the side, and after the guards sent Xiao Lingzi and others to leave the palace, he immediately ordered someone to summon Qingyuan, in the front hall, his face was cold, his eyes were deep, and he reprimanded in a gloomy voice: "You send someone to investigate quickly, and if the palace is overturned, you will find the person who leaked this matter, this king doesn't believe it, he Nangong Ling really has the ability to reach the sky."

"Yes, Lord Wang, your subordinates can send someone to investigate", after Qing Yuan received the order, he just walked to the door, only to hear Nangong Yu instruct again: "You send a few more people, closely watch Tao Ranju's movements, Qinglan and Qingyu have just arranged to go in today, I am afraid that Shui Lianyue will be on guard, and I will meet with her in a few days."

"Yes, Lord Wang", when Qing Yuan withdrew from the front hall, Nangong Yu's face became more and more gloomy, Nangong Ling, you actually hit the abacus on the body of this king's woman, it seems that your throne is leisurely enough, it's time for this king to find something for you to do, and the deep eyes flashed with a touch of viciousness.

In Tao Ranju's small kitchen, there was a tempting delicious aroma, Qinglan and Qingyu both smelled it in the house, only to see Qinglan standing in the crack of the door, constantly looking at the busy back in the kitchen, and was a little surprised: "I didn't expect such a woman to cook such a fragrant delicacy."

"Don't tease me, just her? Phew, a water-based poplar peanut sex yin丨 woman, even if she makes a delicious delicacy in the world, who dares to eat it? Do you dare? Anyway, I won't eat it, I'm afraid of getting bad luck", Qingyu sat at the head of the bed, fiddling with a sharp and delicate dagger in her hand, and the cold light faintly emitted by the blade shone on her face, revealing a bit of murderous aura.

Qinglan looked back at Qingyu, sighed lightly and said, "How many times have you said it, why can't you change it?" Put away the dagger quickly, and if the princess finds out, beware of the charge of murder."

"Cut, we are the prince's people, just because she also wants to treat me for offending? Don't forget, you and I are both from Lingyunmen, we will only be loyal to the prince for the rest of our lives, and our lives will also be the prince's", Qingyu said in a cold voice with disdain.

Qinglan shook her head helplessly, turned around and walked to the back room, stretched out her hand and grabbed the dagger in Qingyu's hand, and asked in a low voice: "Even the prince doesn't dare to do anything to her, do you know why?"

"Why"?

"Because she is the emperor's person, and because she is still usable to the prince, understand? Green Bamboo and Autumn Leaves are both Lingyunmen people who killed the hall, Shui Lianyue seriously injured Green Bamboo, what happened in the end? The prince did not touch her at all except for the excuse of whipping the servant girl beside her, why can't you understand it?"

Qingyu looked at Qinglan's solemn face as if she didn't understand, and said softly: "I understand what you mean, but I just can't see her self-confident appearance, those gossips in the outside world have been spreading, and even places outside Suzhou City know about it, and she, as if she doesn't know, if I were her, I would have committed suicide by throwing myself into a well, and the province is still embarrassed to live."

"This is her uniqueness, ordinary people are afraid that they will have no face to survive in the world with such gossip, but she turns a blind eye, which shows that her endurance is extraordinary", as soon as the words fell, Qinglan turned her head to look at the door, and sighed lightly: "Such a stunning woman in the city, like the winter moon and cold plums, standing proudly in the world, should not be involved, but it is a pity."

After hearing this, Qingyu wrinkled her eyebrows and glared at Qinglan, and said indignantly: "It's only been a day, and the words have changed their taste, what's so good about her, she actually made your elbow turn outward"?

"Dead girl, talking nonsense, I'm just sighing, don't talk nonsense", Qinglan turned her head suddenly, looked at Qingyu and said angrily.

Dinner is light and delicious side dishes and fragrant rice porridge, Shui Lianyue walked into the room of Hongying and others with a tray, at this moment, Autumn Leaves has woken up, she looked at Shui Lianyue with tears in her eyes, her face was full of self-blame, if it wasn't for the pain in her back that made her unable to get out of bed, otherwise, she would have knelt on the ground.

"Princess, it's all Akiba's fault, if it weren't for Akiba's own initiative to say those words, it wouldn't have embarrassed the princess."

Shui Lianyue put the tray on the table, divided the rice porridge and side dishes into three parts, and put them on the bed of the red tasseled autumn leaves and winter snow, and finally sat on the table, looked at the autumn leaves and said lightly relieved: "You don't have to blame yourself, he just wants to punish me for some reason, it has nothing to do with you, this whipping should have been borne by me, but now I let the three of you live on my behalf, and I feel very uncomfortable."

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as the princess is okay, it's fifty whips, and we can stand it", Dongxue supported her body with her elbows, and said with a firm face when she heard Shui Lianyue's words.

"Princess, Autumn Leaves will definitely not make the same mistake again in the future, I only know today, it turns out that the prince is not the same as the folk rumors, it's just that a woman like the princess who is so stunning in the city, shouldn't she take good care of it? Why does the prince treat him like this, he is really a cold-blooded man", Autumn Leaves' complexion looked very good, and he had the strength to speak, and his delicate face was not only self-blaming, but also resentful.

"Okay, okay, let's eat, the princess's cooking skills are comparable to the imperial doctor, it's rare to eat the princess's craftsmanship, and when we are healed, we won't have a good taste if we want to eat", Hongying smiled slightly, urging the autumn leaves and winter snow, there are some things they don't know, even if they know, it won't help, talking more is useless, and it will only make the young lady more irritable when she listens.

The night was relatively peaceful.

At noon the next day, a small team of Jingwei led by Chen Nan returned to the capital first and told the emperor that because Lian Tianyan, the prince of Canglan Kingdom, was in a hurry to return to China, he let Chen Nan and the whole team run around overnight, and it was estimated that they would be able to leave the country safely at dusk.

Nangong Ling got the news, the joy he just revealed, and disappeared without a trace in an instant, even Tianyan was never what he was worried about, the most he couldn't let go of in his heart was Baili Game, the secret report sent this morning said that Baili Game and others were playing and wandering in Liangcheng early in the morning, and it seemed that he was not as anxious about returning to China as before, and the anxiety in his heart became stronger and stronger, but he couldn't detect where there was a problem, which really made him very worried.

Five days later, Nangong Ling received a letterhead from the prince of Canglan Kingdom, saying that he had returned to China day and night, and he was fine, he put down the letterhead in his hand, and his heart was very relaxed.

A qiē seems to be going on as expected.

However, in a corner of Liangcheng, in a remote and hidden house, Baili Game was sitting leisurely on the upper seat sipping tea, the corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a meaningful and strange smile.
