Everyone had finished their meal and were all sitting and drinking tea, Ding stood at the entrance of the flower hall, saw a smile on Shen Nianzhen's face, and greeted him and said, "Go and say goodbye to Mrs. Liao, let's go back." ”

"Leaving so soon? Why don't you stay and stay in the house for a few days? ”

Mrs. Liao took Shen Nianzhen's hand and said sincerely: "Fangru can cook a lot of dishes!" Let her make it for you......"

Shen Nianzhen laughed when he heard this, and said, "It's okay, when she marries, make it for me every day......"

Mrs. Liao also smiled.

Liao Shulan stood aside, her eyes flashing.

Liao Fangru was in a good mood, and personally sent Shen Nianzhen and them out of the house, in front of the mansion, watching them get into the carriage, and said with some words: "Nianzhen, when it is summer, I will pick you up and enjoy the hibiscus." ”

"Okay." Shen Nianzhen agreed in one bite.

Ruhua's eyes widened in surprise as she watched from the sidelines.

returned to Shen's house all the way unimpeded, and as soon as I arrived at Chunhui Courtyard, I saw Mama Zhou standing there anxiously looking, until I saw Shen Nianzhen and them, I breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Miss, third lady, come in, the old lady has been waiting."

Shen Nianzhen nodded.

Mrs. Shen cared about nothing more than whether they were troubled in Liao's house, Shen Nianzhen smiled and told her that everything was fine, Mrs. Liao was very enthusiastic, and when she left, Liao Fangru also invited them to go to her house to enjoy hibiscus in the summer.

Hearing such an answer, Mrs. Shen was relieved: "In this way, the Liao family is sincere in this family business, your father has worked hard for half his life, and he is tired from running around, and now he can be accompanied by such a gentle wife, my wife will die immediately, and there will be no regrets!" ”

"Don't say that, Grandmother."

Shen Nianzhen said with a smile: "You and your father, our family will definitely be safe and live a long life." ”

She has that confidence.

In his previous life, his father was lonely until he died, not that he didn't want to get married, but because he was too busy and didn't have time, coupled with the collusion between the second room and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, he died early, and in this life, everything has changed.

"Okay, okay." Old Mrs. Shen smiled and patted her hand: "It's sweet for you." ”

"Grandmother."

Shen Nianzhen pondered his tone and said, "I have something to discuss with you. ”

She hesitated for a moment, told her what Liao Yulan told her in the pear blossom forest, and said in a low voice: "The second prince is now grounded in the mansion, Concubine Qi is seriously ill, after all, I have a family affair with the second prince, do you want to enter the palace to see her at this time?" ”

"As it should be!"

Old Lady Shen said without thinking: "Our family is not the kind of person who sees the wind and rudder and is ungrateful!" If there was no help from the second prince before, the two families killed by Yun Qi blocked the door, and they didn't know what to do! Even if your father returns, I'm afraid our family's reputation will be ruined. ”

"That's what I thought, too." Gu Panxi said with a smile.

"It's just...... How are you going to get into the palace? ”

Mrs. Shen was a little worried, her granddaughter was an unmarried daughter after all, so it was not good to enter the palace rashly, only Concubine Qi would pay her a prayer and invite her into the palace.

You can't break in, can you?

"Grandmother, you don't have to worry about this, I've already arranged it." Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly when she heard this, and said: "Miss Liao Si left a message, as long as I want to go into the palace to visit Concubine Qi, she will say that her grandmother will be moved, and she will hand over the letter to the palace to visit Concubine Qi, and when the time comes, I will go to Liao's house and go with them." ”

"Really? That's a good feeling! ”

When Mrs. Shen heard this, her face suddenly showed a touch of joy, and at the end she said in a wrenched voice: "I don't know, what happened to this Concubine Qi's illness......

"It's bad." Shen Nianzhen said in a low voice: "The imperial doctor said that the oil has run out and the lamp has dried up, and it is just a hard life. ”

Old Mrs. Shen showed a look of pity when she heard this: "If you are young, you will ......"

Shen Nianzhen was silent.

Thinking of the last time she saw Concubine Qi, she looked weak and haggard, but she was overjoyed when she held her hand, she really liked Su Muwan......

……

The next day, Shen Nianzhen got up early, went to Chunhui Courtyard to accompany the old lady for breakfast, and then changed into a new dress and went out with a picture. When passing through the second gate, she ran into Shen Yunlan, who came back in a hurry.

Shen Nianzhen grabbed him: "Brother! You do me a favor! ”

"What's the matter, you say."

"Help me investigate, what happened between the second prince and the third prince to get to today's situation." Shen Nianzhen looked serious.

Shen Yunlan has actually been secretly investigating this matter these days, and he is dizzy, but he has no eyebrows.

Hearing this, he glanced Shen Nianzhen up and down, frowned, and said, "Didn't you keep shouting that you want to withdraw from the marriage?" What, now you start caring about him? ”

"One yard to one yard." Ponder the truth.

"Okay, I'll investigate, where are you going?" Shen Yunlan asked.

"Ask your grandmother, she knows." Shen Nianzhen hurriedly dropped a sentence, then said goodbye and walked outside, following her in a picturesque manner.

Shen Yunlan looked at her back and couldn't help frowning.

Shen Nianzhen took the picturesque into the carriage and went straight to Liao's house.

When I arrived at the door of Liao's house, I met Mrs. Liao who went out to take a carriage with the support of everyone, just to go to the palace, and when I saw Shen Nianzhen, Mrs. Liao smiled like a flower, held her hand and said: "Good boy!" I knew you had a conscience! It's not that heartless rotten person! ”

Liao Yulan pulled Shen Nianzhen into the carriage and secretly whispered in her ear: "Yesterday, Concubine Qi's mother's maiden family, the old lady of Qi sent someone to see Su Muwan, and wanted to invite her into the palace to visit Concubine Qi, but she refused, and grandmother cursed at home all day yesterday. ”

I see.

"At this juncture, Miss Su should be trying to avoid suspicion......," Shen Nianzhen groaned.

"Not really!" Liao Kanglan joined in, and said with disdain on her face: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince beat the Third Prince for her, and she suffered, she avoided it from afar, and slandered the reputation of the Second Prince behind her back!" How can such a person do something that does not benefit him in the slightest? Thanks to Concubine Qi for so many years, she treats her sincerely and treats her as a daughter! ”

"Fifth sister! Say no more! ”

Liao Yulan's face changed suddenly, glared at her fiercely, and said, "Carefully grandmother heard it and locked you up!" Don't even think about entering the palace! ”

"I'm not, explain to Sister Shen......"

Liao Kanglan said stupidly.

Shen Nianzhen had already understood the cause and effect, and from these words, he faintly guessed the truth of the matter, combined with what happened at the end of that day in the suburbs of Beijing, His Royal Highness the Third Prince personally carried the girl like smoke out of the woods...... Things are already clear.

Rong Bing's Su Muwan was angry and sad, maybe she cried secretly, this scene was seen by the second prince Rong Chen, so he pounced on it and beat him hard, so he angered the queen and the people of the third prince's faction, so he fought back overwhelmingly, intending to kill Rong Chen completely.

However, what did Su Muwan do during this period?

Why was Rongchen so angry when he heard her name that day?

Shen Nianzhen was puzzled.

"Sister Shen, are you worried? In fact, Concubine Qi is very good. Liao Yulan comforted her softly on the side and said, "Now that you have made a family appointment with His Royal Highness the Second Prince, she will definitely treat you like Miss Su." ”

Shen Nianzhen smiled back.

She wasn't worried about that.

just thought of the letter of resignation that Rong Chen threw to her in the pear blossom forest that day.

Strictly speaking, she no longer has anything to do with Rong Chen. I entered the palace today to visit Concubine Qi, but I was just to repay him for his kindness in front of the Shen family that day.

After repaying this favor, the two will never intersect again.

Amid the sound of the carriage, the palace arrived.

Just like the previous time, the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, and the group of them took a sedan chair and went directly to Langhuan Palace, where Concubine Qi lived. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the palace, I heard a heart-rending cough from the inner hall, which made the listeners feel sad.

Mrs. Liao was wearing a command suit, and after getting off the sedan chair, she led Shen Nianzhen and Liao Yulan from left to right, while Liao Kanglan followed behind, and the group walked to the main hall of Langhuan Palace after passing through the ceremony.

Shen Nianzhen had already been here once, but smelling the increasingly strong smell of medicine in the air, she understood that Concubine Qi's condition was really not optimistic.

"It's warm and cold, the weather is changeable, the old lady should rest more, just hand over a post to say hello, why bother to come to the palace in person? Ahem......" Concubine Qi lay on her side on a chaise longue at the top of the main hall, looking at the people who came to visit, grinning slightly, revealing a weak smile.

"Niangniang, look, who is here to visit you?" Mrs. Liao knelt and bowed, and immediately pushed Shen Nianzhen forward with a smile, saying, "This is your future daughter-in-law!" ”

"Daughter-in-law?"

Concubine Qi seemed taken aback, and her two haggard eyes quickly looked towards Shen Nianzhen.

Looking at it, she suddenly asked, "You are the girl that Chen'er personally brought back that day?" ”

"Niangniang, it's me, I didn't expect that your memory is so good." Shen Nianzhen replied with a smile.

The smile on Concubine Qi's face paused for a moment, then she looked at Shen Nianzhen seriously, and finally apologized to her: "I'm sorry, Miss Shen, I treated you as someone else's ...... that day."

"It's okay." Shen Nianzhen smiled and said without caring at all: "It is already my blessing to be warmly received by my mother." ”

Concubine Qi couldn't have imagined that she would be so unkind.

gradually gave birth to a good impression of Shen Nianzhen in her heart, her son is willful and stubborn, he just needs a tolerant, generous, gentle and considerate woman to accompany him, in order to do it, this Miss Shen in front of her is really good.

Tempted, she stretched out her somewhat thin hand, trembling.

Shen Nianzhen hurriedly held on: "Niangniang, what do you need?" Would you like to drink water or eat? ”

Hearing this, Concubine Qi shook her head gently.

Shen Nianzhen asked again: "Niangniang is tired from lying down, and she wants to get up and take a walk?" ”

When the words fell, the big palace maid who was serving on the side hurriedly opened her mouth to stop: "Miss Shen! Cannot! Niangniang is weak and seriously ill, and she hasn't walked around the ground for more than half a year......"

"Mouthy." Concubine Qi reprimanded in a low voice, and then raised her eyes to look at Shen Nianzhen: "I heard that you and Chen'er met in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion?" ”

As we all know, Shen Nianzhen had a marriage contract with Lu Yiming, the prince of the Hou of Zhenbei, and when Concubine Qi said this, she simply scolded Shen Nianzhen for not knowing the inspection point, hooking up with three and four, and seducing the second prince, so she immediately regretted the marriage and kicked the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.

"! Who are you listening to? ”

Mrs. Liao was taken aback, and quickly explained: "Miss Shen has always been clean, she has never been ......"

"Let her explain it herself."

Concubine Qi coughed lowly.

Old Lady Liao had no choice but to shut up, and looked back at Shen Nianzhen with some concern.

She regretted a little that she had brought Shen Nianzhen into the palace, otherwise she wouldn't be so embarrassed.

Shen Nianzhen was not angry, and when he heard this, he slowly raised his head and glanced at Concubine Qi, and then smiled: "Niangniang is right, at the birthday banquet of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, I had a relationship with His Royal Highness the Second Prince. ”

"Oh?" Concubine Qi was surprised: "I heard people in the palace say that Miss Shen proposed to divorce Lu Shizi at that birthday banquet?" ”

"Whether I withdraw from the marriage or not has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

Shen Nianzhen said lightly: "Lu Shizi likes my sister and wants to be responsible for her, I just have fulfilled a pair of caring people." ”

"That's it?"

"Yes."

Concubine Qi sighed and slowly lay down.

"In this way, Miss Shen really loves her sister very much, and you are also a blessed person, losing this marriage, but being able to get engaged to Chen'er, maybe, this is fate."

As she spoke, she let out a long sigh.

Shen Nianzhen's smile remained unchanged, looked at her and said, "Niangniang, although your illness looks serious, it is not, I know a doctor with good medical skills, and I will bring him into the palace another day to show Niangniang." ”

"Don't bother."

When Concubine Qi heard this, she pulled the corners of her mouth, and lacked interest: "My illness has been lingering for more than three years, and I don't know how many doctors and doctors I have invited, all of them boasted that they could be cured, but they all failed. How can I close my eyes......"

"It's not a bad thing to try more." Shen Nianzhen smiled and said, "Niangniang doesn't want His Royal Highness to worry about you, right?" ”

Concubine Qi glanced at Shen Nianzhen with some surprise.

This girl is really good-hearted and patient enough, and most people have already stopped thinking when they hear her say this.

She wanted to do it.

"Okay, then you can go and invite him to try." Concubine Qi smiled, waved her hand to let Shen Nianzhen sit beside her, and instructed the palace people: "Yingge, ask the imperial dining room to prepare a few more dishes, and leave Mrs. Liao and Miss Shen for lunch today." ”

"Yes, sissy."

Yingge responded with a smile, then turned around and retreated.

Seeing that Shen Nianzhen had finally dealt with the first level, Mrs. Liao immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced at her two granddaughters, and saw that they were all smiling.

After Concubine Qi tested Shen Nianzhen, she seemed to be very satisfied with her, and she didn't make it difficult during the meal, this meal was suitable for both the guest of honor.

After the meal, Concubine Qi was a little sleepy and wanted to sleep, Shen Nianzhen and the others got up to say goodbye, before leaving, Shen Nianzhen asked Yingge to ask for Concubine Qi's pulse case and weekday diet and sleep records: "I can take these to the doctor to see if he can cure Niangniang's illness, if he is sure, bring it into the palace, if not, forget it, I can't let Niangniang experience another disappointment." ”

"Miss Shen is really thoughtful."

Yingge immediately shook her head when she heard this: "But no, Niangniang's diet and daily life still have a pulse case, how can she show it to outsiders?" This doesn't make sense. ”

"It doesn't matter." Concubine Qi slowly spoke: "Give it to her." ”

"Mother?" Yingge looked back in surprise, as if she hadn't expected it.

Concubine Qi closed her eyes and nodded slowly towards this side.

Yingge glanced at Shen Nianzhen with a complicated look, and then turned around to get something.

Shen Nianzhen waited at the gate of the hall for a while, Yingge came back and handed her a stack of booklets: "I bother Miss Shen to protect carefully, don't spread it." ”

"I see." Shen Nianzhen smiled and nodded.

Turning around and about to go to meet with Old Lady Liao and the others, Yingge couldn't help but ask, "Miss Shen, can the imperial doctor you said really cure Niangniang's illness?" ”

"There's no such thing as being completely sure." Shen Nianzhen replied: "However, if it is that doctor, there is at least six or seven percent certainty. ”

"So much?"

Yingge was very surprised when she heard this, and looked Shen Nianzhen up and down, as if she was speculating whether she was telling the truth.

Shen Nianzhen nodded, saluted in the direction of Langhuan Palace, and then caught up with Mrs. Liao and the others.

"Nian Zhen, are you really sure?" Mrs. Liao is also worried about this.

"Everything is done to the best of our ability, whether it can be cured or not depends on God's will." Shen Nianzhen said in a low voice.

In her last life, after she married Lu Yiming, her father was seriously calculated, he was seriously ill, and the doctors were helpless.

It's just that before she could bring the doctor back to Beijing, her father died.

Now that the day is counted, the doctor is still in a small village forty kilometers away from Shangjing, and he should be able to invite him.

"Oh." When Mrs. Liao heard her say this, the hope that had just risen in her heart gradually extinguished.

Still not sure!

"Grandmother, whether it is useful or not, this time Sister Shen is willing to come to visit Concubine Qi, and she will do her best to help find the doctor, she has done a good job!" Liao Yulan persuaded on the side.

When Mrs. Liao heard this, she glanced at Shen Nianzhen with a smile, and then smiled: "You are right, Miss Shen has done what she should do." ”

The group sat in a sedan chair and was about to leave the palace, but they heard a voice outside: "It's sitting in the sedan chair, but Miss Shen?" ”

Shen Nianzhen slowly lifted the curtain and glanced out: "What's the matter?" ”

A housekeeper and palace maid in a lilac palace dress stood there quietly and saluted her: "The queen mother heard that Miss Shen has entered the palace, so she invites you to go to Kunning Palace to talk about it." ”

The Queen?

Shen Nianzhen was taken aback.

Mrs. Liao changed color.

As we all know, the third prince beaten by the second prince Rong Chen has not been able to get out of bed and walk around so far, the queen mother hates the second prince to the bone, and Shen Nianzhen is the fiancée of the second prince, how can she be good this time?
