Chapter 17: Evil Heart

Nan Jinyan after careful recuperation, his body gradually improved, I heard that the emperor was worried about him day and night during his illness, and today the imperial doctor just said that he could go out for activities, so he went to the Xuanzheng Hall first.

Nan Xiao sat on the chair in the imperial study and read the folds, and after a while he felt a little tired, leaning on the chair and squinting, and his father-in-law quietly withdrew from the imperial study and stood at the door waiting.

"The old slave has seen the Third Highness...... father-in-law hurriedly pulled Nan Jinyan to the side and whispered: "The emperor is resting, His Highness is in a hurry?" ”

Nan Jinyan stretched her neck and looked into the imperial study, "It's not an urgent matter, it's just that I'm in good health, and I'm here to thank my father." ”

"Why don't Your Highness change your ......" Before the father-in-law could finish speaking, he heard Nan Xiao calling him, and the father-in-law hurriedly trotted in, "Your Majesty, the Third Highness is asking to see you outside the palace." ”

Nan Xiao sat up from the couch and cleared his throat, and his father-in-law hurriedly brought him the tea bowl, "Jinyan is here?" The words fell, and he took a sip of tea.

"Yes, waiting outside...... father-in-law took the tea bowl, put it aside, and squatted down to put on dragon boots for Nan Xiao.

Nan Xiao sat solemnly, "Pass it on......"

"Huh!" The father-in-law hurried to the door with small steps all the way, and bowed his hand respectfully, "Your Highness, Your Majesty will send you in." ”

Nan Jinyan jumped in front of Nan Xiao, knelt down and kowtowed, "Erchen is here today to thank my father." ”

"Get up and speak." Nan Xiao shook the clothes of the dragon robe, and was very relieved, "Oh? Thanks to what? ”

"Thank you to my father for worrying about his son's health in recent days." Nan Jinyan was very well-behaved, and when he raised his eyes, he found that Nan Xiao was exhausted, and then looked at the small table on the couch, which was full of twists and turns, he felt that being an emperor was not fun at all, and his life was not chic at all.

"You and I are father and son, and I am concerned about you." Nan Xiao said with deep affection, "I understand my heart, is there anything else to do today?" ”

After Nan Xiao asked, Nan Jinyan's mind suddenly thought of Lin Miaoyin, I hadn't seen her for a long time, so he simply summoned her into the palace through the mouth of his father, "There is indeed something wrong with the son." ”

"What?" Nan Xiao sat on the edge of the couch, slowly closed his eyes, and listened.

"Erchen wants to invite Doctor Miaojing's mother and daughter into the palace and thank them personally." Nan Jinyan was nervous because he wasn't sure if Nan Xiao would agree.

"Accurate!" When Nan Xiao heard this, he invited Miaojing? He was worried that he couldn't find a suitable reason to see her again, and now, in the name of Nan Jinyan, he could justifiably summon her into the palace, and he was secretly happy in his heart, "This time, if it weren't for the help of Medical Officer Miaojing, your life would be over, so you should be grateful." ”

"Yes! Sons obey! Nan Jinyan thought that since Lin Miaoyin was allowed to enter the palace, she would have to stay for a while, so she asked weakly: "I wonder if Erchen can hold a banquet and talk about his heart?" ”

"Very good!" Nan Xiao waved his hand, "Go ahead, do it quickly." ”

really didn't hurt Nan Jinyan in vain, his words and deeds won Nan Xiao's heart, in fact, he didn't know what Nan Xiao wanted in his heart, and he didn't bother to guess, he just did what he thought in his heart, but it just happened that it was also what Nan Xiao wanted.

And the prince has never had such luck, even if he is cautious, even if he works 10,000 times harder than Nan Jinyan, he has not been able to get Nan Xiao's full favor, things in this world are sometimes so annoying, you spend all your energy to fight for it, others have it inadvertently.

Nan Jinyan came out of the imperial study, looked up at the sky, and ...... for a long time He remembered that Aunt Ji Rong said that Lin Miaoyin might be going to become the crown princess, and the prince's brother was protected by the queen everywhere, which was good......

Seeing Nan Jin Yan come out of the imperial study, his father-in-law approached Nan Xiao, leaned over, and asked in a low voice, "Where does Your Majesty plan to let the banquet of the Third Highness be held?" ”

"Let's do it in the Ning'an Hall in the Imperial Garden, this is also a family banquet." When Nan Xiao said this, he glanced at his father-in-law, and saw that his father-in-law had a little surprised expression on his face, but he was the emperor, and there was no doubt, "Go and pass the decree, and invite the mother and daughter of Miaojing Medical Officer to enter the palace for a banquet in three days." ”

"Huh!" The father-in-law received the decree and immediately sent someone to the Lin Mansion to announce the emperor's edict.

The father agreed to him, and Nan Jinyan was very happy in his heart, but when he thought of it...... I couldn't be happy again. He picked up a branch from the garden outside the Xuanzheng Palace, and walked towards the queen's dormitory.

The news spread quickly, and before Nan Jinyan entered the door, the queen already knew that the emperor was going to hold a banquet for the three princes in the Ning'an Palace, and she was extremely unhappy.

Everyone in this palace knows that the Ning'an Palace is the main hall of the imperial garden, magnificent, spacious and bright, can accommodate 100 people, surrounded by mountains and rivers, generally important festivals or special days will be held here, even the prince's annual birthday can not be held here.

The queen held three sticks of incense in her hand, knelt in front of the Bodhisattva and bowed, then handed the incense to Aunt Ji Rong, and took a deep breath, "Ji Rong, you say, is this a clear attempt to embarrass the palace?" ”

Aunt Ji Rong took the incense, inserted it into the incense burner quickly, and helped the queen up, "How come, Your Majesty will not intentionally embarrass the mother." ”

"So what does he mean by that? The palace has always wanted to do a good job for the prince's birthday in the Ning'an Palace, and let it be done in the East Palace every year. The queen was indignant.

"According to the slave maid, I'm afraid things are not so simple, if it is just the meaning of the Third Highness, I am afraid it will not be so grand." Aunt Ji Rong helped the queen onto the chair, squatted down to take off her shoes, and gently smoothed the queen's feet on the couch.

The queen leaned back, supported her head with one hand, and her face was listless, "Then, in your opinion, what do you think of this?" ”

"I'm afraid this banquet is ......" Aunt Ji Rong leaned into the queen's ear and whispered: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty wants to do it yourself, most likely because she wants to see that Miaojing." ”

"Oh?" The queen suddenly perked up, thought about the scene when Nan Xiao saw Miao Jing on weekdays, and felt that what Aunt Ji Rong said might be really like that, "reasonable...... Bengong looked at the emperor with love and pity every time he looked at Miaojing, couldn't it? ”

Aunt Ji Rong whispered again: "Why don't you take this opportunity to be a favor?" ”

"Shunshui favor?" A hint of cunning flashed in the queen's eyes, "Go, bring the 'treasure' in the cabinet to the palace." ”

Aunt Ji Rong entered the inner room, opened the cabinet where the queen placed her underwear, stretched her hand to the deepest part, touched it for a long time, and took out a red ceramic bottle from it, and the bottle was painted with a bewitching peony.

Yes, the "baby" that the queen said is this, this bottle is not filled with anything else, it is an "elixir" that can make people drunk and dream of death in an instant, the queen looked at the bottle and remembered the scene when she saw Nan Xiao for the first time.

At that time, Nan Xiao was only the crown prince, and the queen's family was not powerful in the court, and her father's career was difficult.

When she heard that a family banquet was going to be held during the Lantern Festival, she asked people to secretly get the "fairy medicine", which was originally intended to be used on the emperor, but who would have thought that she fell in love with Nan Xiao at first sight at the palace banquet.

Halfway through the palace banquet, seeing that Nan Xiao was drunk, she got up and left the table, she followed all the way, intercepted the soup in the hands of the palace maid halfway, put the "fairy medicine" into it, and coaxed the confused Nan Xiao to drink......

On the second day, the two woke up in a noisy sound, and the emperor knew that the wood had been completed, so he issued an edict to marry her to the prince Nan Xiao of the year, and since then the family power has gradually increased, and her father is like a fish in water in the court.

She and Nan Xiao respected each other like "ice", until the spring of the second year, the prince was born, thinking that she was the first to open up the branches and leaves for the Nan family, and Nan Xiao was not a ruthless person, the relationship between the two of them began to change, but for so many years, Nan Xiao has been lukewarm to her.

The queen held the bottle in her hand tightly, the red stinged her eyes, she didn't expect to use it many years later, the difference is that this time, she wants to use this "elixir" to send other women to Nan Xiao's dragon bed.

When Nan Jinyan was about to walk to the queen's bedroom, raindrops began to fly in the sky, he threw a stick, and quickly ran back to the side hall, the thunder was rolling, Nan Jinyan looked at the sky, "It's going to rain......

……

After a while, the rain became heavier and heavier, and from time to time there were a few muffled thunders, and the rain fell down the eaves of Miaolinju, knocking down the petals under the eaves.

The weather is not good, Lin Song came back from the barracks early today, Miao Jing was sitting in the house reading a book, the door suddenly opened, Lin Song shook the oil paper umbrella in his hand, and stood by the wall outside the door, the sound of rain outside the house......

"Coming back?" Miao Jing poured a cup of hot tea and brought it to Lin Song, "Drink it, be careful of getting cold." ”

Lin Song took the tea and drank it in one go, and handed the quilt back to Miao Jing's hand, "Madam is a medical officer, I'm not afraid of getting cold." Then he turned and closed the door gently.

The sound of the rain seemed to be kept out, and the room suddenly became a lot quieter, and Miao Jingzhong sat down at the table again and picked up the book in her hand.

Lin Song picked up the rag on the shelf and carefully wiped his Fang Tian painting halberd inserted in the shelf, this was his "old friend" who was born and died.

Miaojing looked at Lin Song's serious and cautious appearance, and couldn't help but cover her mouth with a "poof" smile, "Our daughter's name is Lin Miaoyin, and our son's name is Lin Huaji......"

"Who is Lin Huaji?" Lin Song's face was shocked, "This ...... Madame, could it be ......" He threw down the rag and hurried towards Miaojing, touched her stomach with his hand, and asked happily, "Got it?" ”

Miao Jing laughed out loud and knocked Lin Song with the book, "Fool, I'm talking about ......" pointed at Fang Tian with her finger to draw the halberd, "Oh, your baby ......"

"Haha...... It saves the husband's life! As he spoke, he got up and pulled Fang Tian's halberd out of the shelf and waved it, "How is it?" Looking at Miao Jing proudly.

"Hmm...... Yes, it's not a loss to General Lin, heroic! Miao Jing praised repeatedly.

Lin Song inserted Fang Tian's halberd back, walked to Miao Jing's side, and picked her up, "Let you experience the majesty of being a husband!" ”

Just as he was about to go to the bedroom, the housekeeper knocked on the door, "General, madam, someone has come to the palace, and there is an edict from the emperor." ”

Lin Song hurriedly put down Miao Jing and opened the door, the rain outside the house was even heavier, although the old housekeeper came with an umbrella, but the hem of his clothes was still wet by the rain.

"What oracle?" Lin Song asked loudly, the sound of rain outside was accompanied by thunder, and Miao Jing couldn't hear what they were saying clearly in the house.

The old housekeeper said loudly word by word: "Spread the emperor's edict, and invite the lady and the young lady to the palace for a banquet in three days, saying that the third highness wants to thank the lady for saving her life!" ”

"Got it! Anything else? Lin Song asked.

The old butler arched his hand: "Disturb the general and his wife, the old slave retires." ”

Lin Song entered the house, closed the door, and his face was a little solemn.

"What's wrong? But what happened in the army? Miao Jing asked with concern.

"No, it was the emperor who invited you and Yin'er to enter the palace in three days and attend the banquet." Lin Song frowned, worried.

Miao Jing breathed a sigh of relief, "It's just going to the banquet, I thought something was wrong, why is my husband worried?" ”

"This is the banquet of the Third Highness." Lin Song and Miao Jing looked at each other, a little apprehensive in their hearts.

The emperor's favor for the three highnesses is known to the world, but Miao Jing is the queen's royal medical officer, and has been deeply favored by the queen for many years.

I don't know if this banquet is the meaning of the three princes themselves? Or does the emperor mean it? Will it displease the queen mother? Lin Song was faintly worried.

"Otherwise, the concubine will not go if she is sick......" Miao Jing instantly understood what Lin Song was worried about.

Lin Song sighed, "Then how can it be done, Your Majesty has passed on the message, this, you have to go, otherwise it will be a protest." ”

Miao Jing thought for a moment, "Or?" Meet the Queen first? Only one voice, lest there be a misunderstanding. ”

"Hmmm! That's a good idea. Lin Song arched his hand at Miao Jing: "Madame is smart!" ”

"Then prepare some light gifts, it happens that next month is the Mid-Autumn Festival, go and visit the queen in advance, so as not to have too many people." Miao Jing took the palace card as she spoke, "I'll hand the sign in tomorrow." ”

"Very good!" Saying this, Lin Song was still faintly uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know why, could it be because of the rain today......

Early the next morning, Miao Jing ordered someone to hand over the sign to the palace, and sent someone out to buy some of the queen's favorite snacks, everything was ready, waiting for the queen to summon her.
