It was nearly May, the most comfortable time of the year, but it was unusually hot and humid in the prison.

When Yin Lingyuan stepped into the gate of the prison, he felt a hot breath rushing to his face, and when he looked around, he actually lit several pots of charcoal fires: "Why are there still charcoal fires in this season?" ”

"The slave and maid heard that this is the rule of the prison, and the more hot the summer is, the more you have to make a fire, and when the winter is cold, there is nothing," Bao Sheng replied in a low voice, "and let people be tortured." ”

Yin Lingyuan continued to walk forward, and the sound of scolding and shouting came from a distance, which made people feel afraid for no reason.

When the steward found someone coming, he immediately put down his whip and trotted over, and when he saw that it was Concubine Yu, he immediately flattered and saluted: "Concubine Yu is good." ”

Yin Lingyuan asked directly: "There is a palace maid named Hanlu, but here?" ”

"Yes, yes", the steward nodded again and again, obviously impressed by this palace maid: "It was sent by the concubine Niangniang herself." ”

"Hongu wants to see her."

"This ......" The steward hesitated for a moment, and then put on a smile again: "Niangniang, please come with me." ”

This person led Yin Lingyuan and the three of them inside, and the palace maids and eunuchs they met on the road were all working, and they were constantly urged to supervise with whips, and with a slight slow movement, a sharp whip fell on their bodies.

The steward led the three of them to a small door, which was a narrow walkway, with small doors like this on both sides, and he motioned to the caretaker to open the door, and another violent heat came to his face, and there was no window inside, and there was a black hole: "Niangniang, please." ”

The people inside raised their heads when they heard the movement, and they couldn't open their eyes when they were pierced by the bright light coming in from the door, and they heard a very familiar voice calling their names.

"Green?"

"!" Han Lu got up abruptly and walked quickly to the door, there was no doubt that it was really Yin Lingkite.

"Niangniang has just recovered from a serious illness, how can she come to such a place?" Han Lu was first surprised, then worried.

Yin Lingyuan saw that she was only wearing a shirt, still covered with sweat from the hot door, and her face was pale and flushed, although her spirit was still acceptable, she could still see the whip marks on her neck from her head-turning movements.

"You have suffered these days", seeing Hanlu like this, Yin Lingyuan was even more annoyed, these days she didn't think about it, but she didn't even find that Hanlu had been there, if she had come earlier, Hanlu would not have suffered like this.

"Go and get the cloak of the main palace." Yin Lingyuan said to Bao Sheng, who didn't dare to delay and immediately ran away.

Yin Lingyuan stroked her green messy hair, took her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

"Mother?" Before Han Lu could react, the steward in charge of the prison had already stopped in front of them: "Concubine Yu, you can't take Han Lu away." ”

"What if this palace must take her away?" Yin Lingyuan asked coldly.

"Niangniang forgive the sin", the steward knelt directly in front of Yin Lingyuan, "The will of the noble concubine Niangniang, the slave does not dare to disobey it, and the mother cannot let the mother take people away!" ”

"Okay", Yin Lingyuan suddenly got up and kicked on the butler's shoulder, the latter was caught off guard, was kicked to the side, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Let's go!" Yin Lingyuan pulled Han Lu and strode away past the steward, followed by Chu Hui.

The steward didn't care about the dust on half of his body, and got up in a hurry to try to stop him again: "Niangniang, you can't go!" ”

"Hanlu Bengong must be taken away today", Yin Lingyuan sneered, "What, does the steward want to fight with Bengong?" ”

"The minions don't dare." The steward hastened to his knees.

Yin Lingyuan pulled Hanlu and continued to walk, and her lofty voice came from afar: "The concubine is to blame, let her go directly to Yinghua Palace to find me!" ”

After finishing speaking, no one dared to stop them, the three of them walked out of the gate of the prison in charge, Bao Sheng also arrived with a cloak, Yin Lingyuan took it and shook it away, raised his arms, and covered Hanlu's body.

"Niangniang, if you take the slave and maid away like this, will you ......" Han Lu's heart was entangled, worried that he would be blamed by the emperor for Yin Lingyuan.

"Don't worry," Yin Lingyuan said, "with me." ”

Yin Lingyuan is quite careless now, and even dares to reveal such a thing as Xiuzhen in front of others, what else is there not to dare?

"Are the injuries serious?" She took Hanlu by the hand, didn't dare to go too fast, and said to Baosheng: "Go and invite Fang Jiping to come." ”

"When the slave maid returned to the palace, I saw that Imperial Doctor Fang had been waiting outside the door." Bao Sheng Road.

"The slave maid is fine", Han Lu also spoke, seemingly a little embarrassed: "I am in charge of the prison these days, thanks to Lord Fang's secret care, it is because the slave and maid have not suffered too much, and the news that Niangniang woke up was also told to me by Lord Fang." ”

Fang Jiping, as the only person who rescued Concubine Yu's mother, has a rising status in the Tai Hospital, and it is not the same day, and it is naturally easier to take care of a person.

"Then I'll go back and thank Doctor Fang." Yin Lingyuan said, she had also heard Baosheng say before that Han Lu had been poisoned similar to herself, and Fang Jiping treated her in time, presumably using the antidote pill she gave him before, she was still in a coma at the time, if it wasn't for Fang Jiping's move, Han Lu would have been gone.

The group returned to Yinghua Palace, not only Fang Jiping was there, but the emperor was also there.

Qi Ye saw her take Hanlu back, she didn't say anything, Yin Lingyuan asked Chuhui to take Hanlu down to settle down, and called Fang Jiping to go for treatment, Fang turned around to face Qi Ye.

"You just run around with your body, and you can go to a place like a prison prison?" Qi Ye had a slight reproach in his tone, but he didn't ask for the guilt that she forcibly brought back Hanlu.

"Doctor Fang's wonderful hand has rejuvenated, and the concubine has been healed", Yin Lingyuan said calmly.

"Okay, you shouldn't go to that kind of place", Qi Ye frowned slightly.

"Why didn't the emperor ask me, why did he forcibly bring people back?" Yin Lingyuan asked suddenly.

"She is your dowry, although she is suspicious, but the concubine has not found anything after so many days, so bring it back if you want to." Qi Ye said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yin Lingyuan was still calm.

"Yu'er, ...... you" Qi Ye stepped forward and wanted to touch Yin Lingyuan's cheek, but the latter tilted his head slightly to dodge, and his words were never spoken again.

Qi Ye sighed: "You have a good rest, I will come to see you tomorrow." ”

Yin Lingyuan didn't bother to say anything, he just felt that the anger he had just given to save Hanlu had been discharged, and he was excited again at this moment.

She turned and walked again to the garden.

"Mother." Bao Sheng suddenly knelt in front of her, "Slave beg, don't go to the garden in a daze again." ”

Yin Lingyuan looked at her in a daze.

Bao Sheng seemed to be out of the way, and said the words that had been held back for a long time: "Since you woke up, you have been stunned all day, the emperor always likes to ignore it, just so lukewarm, although the emperor feels sorry for the mother, but there are so many women in the harem, which one doesn't want to see the stitches, the slave knows that you are sad, but you can't ignore your grace!" ”

"The slave maid just saw you go to the prison to rescue Hanlu, as if she saw the former lady again", Baosheng paused, since she said it, she was not afraid to say a little more, and continued: "The slave knows that the mother has unspeakable bitterness in her heart, but in the final analysis, this matter is not the emperor's fault, you should hate the person who poisoned you, and now the murderer has not been found, Niangniang, the slave begs you to cheer up!" ”

Yin Lingyuan looked straight at her, until she finished saying this, and was silent for a while before she asked calmly, "Are you finished?" ”

Bao Sheng looked up and looked at her expectantly.

Yin Lingyuan helped the person up: "I don't blame anyone, Baosheng, I just don't want to care." After saying that, he crossed Baosheng and went straight to the direction of the vegetable garden.

Behind the "Niangniang ......", Bao Sheng's eyes showed a complicated look.

Hanlu's injury was not serious, and Fang Jiping recuperated, and he recovered after a few days of recuperation, during which Concubine He and Concubine Xian came to visit, and they also persuaded Yin Lingyuan to say a few words, but it had no effect.

Yin Lingyuan still stayed in the vegetable garden in the backyard of Yinghua Palace all day, the emperor came less and less, and the concubine did not find any trouble because of the green matter.

Hanlu always thought that Yin Lingyuan didn't have much thought about Qi Ye, and didn't want to attach so much importance to this child, so he was even more anxious in his heart, trying his best to cheer up his master.

"Niangniang, the Queen Mother, please come over." Yin Lingyuan, who was in a daze, heard the voice, raised her head slightly, and saw Han Lu said: "Niangniang hasn't been to say hello to the Queen Mother for a long time, and the Queen Mother must be missing you." ”

Not to mention not asking the Queen Mother for peace, since she woke up, except for the time when she went to the prison prison, she has not even left the gate of Yinghua Palace, let alone ask the concubine every morning and dusk.

"The slave and maid are waiting for you to change your clothes", Hanlu said and came over to help Yin Lingyuan, changed his clothes, and simply freshened up, and went to Ci'an Palace.

When the Queen Mother saw Yin Lingyuan, she immediately beckoned to her, and then pulled her to sit down beside her: "Good boy, I have wronged you." ”

Maybe the Queen Mother really has a kind and kind elder temperament, and this sentence made Yin Lingyuan feel the urge to cry, her nose was sore, and she almost fell into tears.

"The mourning family knows that you are sad", the Queen Mother gently hugged her, "If you want to cry, cry out." ”

"Queen Mother......" Yin Lingyuan couldn't hold back any longer, buried her head in the crook of the Queen Mother's arm, and sobbed lowly: "I really miss him." ”

The Queen Mother thought that she was talking about the child who was gone, and gently patted Yin Lingyuan's arm, and said softly: "Cry, cry, when you cry, cheer up, get along with the emperor, if you want children in the future, there are so many women in the palace, let them be born, put them in front of your knees, and raise them by your side since childhood, and it is the same as your own children." ”

Yin Lingyuan whined and cried.

"If you don't worry", the Queen Mother patted her on the back and said softly: "Even if you bring your maiden sister in, when you give birth to a child in the next day, the mourning family will take care of her for you, and the child will be close to you......"

Yin Lingyuan couldn't speak, who she was thinking about in her heart, so she could only cry even more loudly, as if she wanted to drain all the tears she had been holding back these days.

"Cry, cry......" The Queen Mother's kind voice seemed to have turned on some kind of switch, and Yin Lingyuan's tears were surging, and he couldn't control it at all.

Outside the gate of Ci'an Palace.

Li Defu clearly heard the crying sound coming from inside, looked at the emperor's outstretched hand, but did not push the door open, he asked softly: "The emperor?" ”

Qi Ye came back to his senses, sighed, and finally turned to leave.
