"Niangniang, this is what Qiubai left before he died."

In Shunkang Palace, Qiu Lu was holding a handkerchief, and on it were a few crooked words written in blood.

Concubine Yi's eyes were red, she took the handkerchief and held it in her hand and asked, "Have Qiubai's family settled down?" ”

"I gave him a full sum of money and sent it to the south." Qiu Lu said, looking at Concubine Yi's face, and couldn't help but persuade: "At this time, Niangniang can only abandon the car to protect the handsome, Sister Qiubai shoulders this matter, and she can be regarded as loyal to Niangniang." ”

Concubine Yi's face was even more moved, she gently took Qiu Lu's hand, pressed it on the blood-written handkerchief and said, "Qiu Lu, you will be the only one left who will be used by the side of this palace in the future." ”

Qiu Lu was greatly encouraged and hurriedly expressed her loyalty: "The slave and maid must do their best to serve the good lady." ”

"Yes." Concubine Yi nodded and looked at Qiu Lu expectantly.

Although the peach banquet ended unhappily with such a scandal, Qi Ye still agreed to Yin Lingyuan's request, according to his own words, firstly, this is not Yin Lingkite's business, and secondly, the matter is in Yinghua Palace, and she is also a victim.

"But master, is this the end of the matter?" However, "It is clear that Concubine Yi designed to frame her, and there are still scars on the back of the slave's neck, which can be used as evidence." ”

"And do you want your reputation?" Yin Lingyuan asked rhetorically, feudal etiquette is to eat people, she was angry at the time and changed Qiubai to green, but when she heard about Qiubai's death afterwards, her heart was not happy.

"Slave, slave doesn't care about her own body." Choked with a green voice.

Yin Lingyuan was helpless: "Okay, there will be a chance in the future, I won't use such a trick of hurting the enemy by one thousand and self-inflicting eight hundred." And why do you think the emperor agreed to my request? Maybe in his eyes, these are just the jealousy of the harem women, after all, Concubine Yi is the biological mother of the second prince, and the second prince is the eldest son of the emperor, ...... in the future" Yin Lingyuan paused, and said: "So the big thing is small, the hour is small, and now this ending is what he wants to see the most, we should not let it go, it is against the holy will." ”

Han Lu was stunned and couldn't speak, but Yu Ze chuckled: "You really know Qi Ye thoroughly." ”

"A companion is like a tiger, this is really not said in vain." Yin Lingyuan complained silently.

"Otherwise, how about making a puppet and becoming the emperor?" Yu Ze said suddenly.

"Don't don't, don't", Yin Lingyuan really convinced this person, "Didn't you say that he is a true dragon emperor and has a purple qi to protect his body?" "Besides, when the emperor Qi Ye is still competent, she was messed up by Yu Ze, in case of chaos in the world again, she will not be a sinner for the ages?

"So, you're worried about Ben...... Ahem, me? ”

"Huh?" Yin Lingyuan subconsciously wanted to ask, but suddenly Fu Zhi's mind and brain turned quickly, and replied: "Yes, yes, your cultivation has not yet recovered, and it is not suitable to cast spells, let's plant ginseng quickly." ”

- Qi Ye agreed to her request for nothing else, it was to plant ginseng in the grove to the west of the Imperial Garden.

Ginseng is shade-loving and generally grows under deciduous broad-leaved forests or mixed coniferous broad-leaved forests, and a small pine forest to the west of the Imperial Garden is barely counted.

Yin Lingyuan didn't know any cultivation techniques, and the ginseng seeds he found were directly sprinkled in the soil, like planting vegetables.

Yu Ze stopped her and told her to soak in the spiritual spring water overnight, and then plant it the next day.

"I can't see it, Your Excellency will also grow ginseng." Yin Lingkite teased, in fact, even if they are not planted according to the correct method and irrigated with spiritual spring water, these ginseng can grow, but now it is more straightforward.

When Yu Ze was a monk in the past, he served in the medicine garden, so he knew a little about growing all kinds of herbs.

When ginseng is planted, someone needs to take care of it every day, and Chu Hui specially dispatched a small group of people to take turns to take care of them, and the most important thing is to water them every day.

Fortunately, this forest is reluctant to be from the Yinghua Palace, and it is convenient to take care of it.

Every day, Yin Lingyuan will first browse the garden, pick the vegetables that have grown, and divide them into four parts, the largest one will be sent out of the palace to Yin Anlu, and the remaining three points will be sent to the Queen Mother and Ruixiang Palace, and she will keep one for herself.

Then, Chu Hui led people to replant the vacant land after picking, Yin Lingyuan often followed, maybe she was really talented in farming, and the seeds and seedlings sown at will were better than Chu Hui, a veteran farmer.

When they grow, if you pay close attention to them, you will find that they are always planted by Yin Lingyuan himself, and they grow more lushly and mature faster.

Yu Ze watched her farming more than once, thoughtfully.

"What are you thinking about?" Yin Lingyuan asked coldly.

Yu Ze came back to his senses and looked the person in front of him up and down, Yin Lingyuan was uncomfortable: "My clothes are dirty?" He said and looked back and forth.

"No," Yu Ze said, "but don't you think you're very talented in farming?" ”

"No way." Yin Lingyuan was very proud, and the corners of her lips were about to rise to the sky: "Who called me talented, others can't envy me." As he spoke, he shook his head and went to find Hatsuki and watered the vegetables.

Talented? The corners of Yu Ze's lips provoked an oblique arc, maybe she really said it.

On the other side, Yin Lingyuan had already led people to water the vegetables in the garden and by the wall, and then took people to the imperial garden to water the small ginseng that had grown seedlings.

"Thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty ......" Chu Hui counted while pouring, and stopped counting until the last one suddenly stopped: "Huh? ”

"What's wrong?" Yin Lingyuan walked over and asked.

"Master, no, you obviously planted forty-nine ginseng, why did the slave only count forty-eight."

"Could it be that you miscounted?"

Chu Hui immediately beckoned, and instructed the eunuchs and palace maids who knew how to count to count them individually, and in the last one, there was really one missing.

Could it be that someone stole it again?

Yin Lingyuan had a bad premonition, Chu Hui Ma uploaded the little eunuch who was in charge of guarding yesterday, the little eunuch heard that he had lost a ginseng, and he was so frightened that his soul was gone, this is ginseng, what a precious thing, he actually called himself lost? But it is true that he kept watch all night, and did not see the thief.

A few people were talking, might as well flash a figure in the distance, Yin Lingyuan was sensitive, and he didn't need Yu Ze to remind him, so he immediately ordered someone to catch him.

The palace people didn't dare to slack off, one ran faster than the other, especially the little eunuch who was scared a lot just now, so he was counting on catching this person and defending himself.

After a while, a woman was pressed back by several little eunuchs, and walked forward unceremoniously: "Kneel." ”

The woman staggered, threw herself on her knees, and the thing in her arms fell out, which was a fresh and immature ginseng seedling.

Immediately after that, Chu Hui's report sounded: "Master, I counted it again just now, and there is one less." ”

Yin Lingkite: ...... It's a real human stolen garment.

She leaned over and picked up the small seedlings on the ground, crying and laughing, even if she wanted to steal them, let's wait for them to grow up, what is the use of stealing such a small seedling?

"Which palace are you from?" Yin Lingyuan asked the woman, "Who sent you to steal my ginseng?" You stole the previous one. ”

The woman hung her head, not speaking or distinguishing.

"It's okay if you don't admit it", Yin Lingyuan said, "First send the prisoner to the prison, and then go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to transfer the roster, I want to see who else is so bold and comes to me one after another to steal things." ”

The woman's figure trembled obviously, but she still refused to speak.

Yin Lingyuan ran out of patience and was about to fall, when a clever little eunuch saw that something was wrong, and leaned forward and whispered: "Master, the slave doesn't look like an ordinary palace maid, but like a ......."

Yin Lingyuan looked at the little eunuch and frowned slightly: "Like what?" ”

"It's like a girl from the North Five Institutes." The little eunuch said softly.

Although her voice was extremely soft, the woman listened to it and finally raised her head, her lips moving slightly.

"You're really a girl?" Yin Lingyuan was surprised.

"Concubine...... Picking the girl Zhang's, see Yu Jieyu. The woman kowtowed heavily, this is not the etiquette of the girl to Jieyu.

"Hey, you ......" Yin Lingyuan wanted someone to help her up, but Zhang insisted on kneeling: "Concubine, concubine stealing ginseng is really a last resort, please ask Yu Jieyu to forgive her sins, please ask Yu Jieyu to forgive her sins." ”

As he spoke, he plopped and kowtowed.

"Don't don't, don't", Yin Lingyuan hurriedly stopped, and then let her knock down, if she couldn't keep herself, she would have to put on the cause and effect of Nalao Shizi, "You get up first, get up and talk about it." ”

Zhang was stiffened up by Chu Hui, she looked no different from ordinary people, but her body was very thin and weak, Chu Hui felt it almost as soon as she touched it.

"Why did you steal my ginseng?" Yin Lingyuan is really curious, except for the ladies in various palaces who have pursued favor all their lives, she really can't think of a reason for others to steal her ginseng.

"Concubines are there to save lives." The woman spoke, beyond everyone's expectations.

A picker, how can you say that she is also a woman who has been favored by the emperor, and she saves her life by stealing ginseng?

"My ginseng has only grown for a few days, and there is no half of the medicinal properties at all, how can I save my life?" Yin Lingyuan didn't believe it.

"But yesterday my sister ate ginseng, and it was indeed much better," Zhang said, "I had no choice but to take the risk of digging again today." ”

"Your sister, is she also a girl?" Yin Lingyuan was curious.

"Yes", Zhang said, "My sister's life is on the verge of death, the concubine is really desperate, I heard that Jieyu planted ginseng here, so I risked death to come and try it, who wants to ......"

"Wait, wait", Yin Lingyuan interrupted her, "You pick girls sick, can't you afford to hire a doctor?" She remembered that when Chuncao was a girl, she wore gold and silver, and the scenery was majestic.

"Concubine...... The concubines ...... "The Zhang family wanted to speak and stopped, and there seemed to be something unspeakable when they wanted to say."

Yin Lingyuan saw her dressing, thinking that she had not been favored for a long time, so she asked the imperial doctor not to move, so she said: "If you have any difficulties, how about I call a imperial doctor to treat your sister?" ”

Zhang suddenly raised his head, stared at Yin Lingyu, and then suddenly knelt down as if he had made up his mind, crying and howling: "Please Yu Jieyu for help!" Please ask Yu Jieyu to save the concubines! ”
