Chapter 243: Delivery
"Yes, the lotus root flour balls delivered every day were indeed given to me by my father-in-law." Jailer Zhang Qian looked around and lowered his voice after making sure that no one was there.
"Eh, then tell me which palace is the father-in-law, is it the emperor's side or which lady's side?" Lin Yue saw that Zhang Qian dared to speak, so he asked again.
"This ...... The slaves don't know, I just entered the palace on an errand not long ago, where can I have the opportunity to meet the holy face, and there are so many ladies in each palace, I can't tell who is who, let alone the father-in-law around them. Zhang Qian was very embarrassed, he also wanted to help Lin Yue with something, so that Lin Yue could turn over and pull him in the future, but he was just a newcomer, and he didn't know anything about it, let alone help.
"Okay, I believe you, Zhang Qian, do you believe me too, I think there is something strange about this lotus root flour ball every day, maybe I can find a chance to get out by grabbing this vine." Lin Yue looked at Zhang Qian's eyes and said almost word for word.
It was also at this time that she found that Zhang Qian, who had been bowing her head respectfully in front of her, turned out to be Zhang Qingxiu's face, Juanxiu's eyebrows were like literati words, strong and powerful, a pair of narrow eyes were like modeling characters in anime, and the skin was so delicate that she couldn't see any pores.
"Okay, the slave believes in the county lord and is willing to serve the county lord as a dog and horse, and the county lord has any orders." Zhang Qian didn't dare to face Lin Yue's unusually clear eyes, and when he lowered his head and bowed down, his heartbeat skipped a few beats unconsciously.
"I want you to find out where the father-in-law came from, I know that you are a newcomer and know very little about everything in this palace, but it doesn't matter, you just need to follow him to see which direction he has returned." Lin Yue frowned as she looked at another bowl of lotus root flour balls that she had eaten.
"Yes, the minion commands!"
……
In the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the bleak autumn scenery outside the window, but his heart was full of spring, according to his estimate, the plan would soon come true.
Qing Yu entered the main hall, just looking at the master by the window with a big posture overlooking the world, stunned for a while, since the prince woke up, every thing and everything, has broken his inherent impression of the prince, what the current prince wants to do, he can no longer figure out the mind.
"Why don't you say something when you're here?" Qing Yu was in a trance, but the prince quietly turned around, and at some point, he had already walked to him.
"Temple...... Your Highness, Qing Yu doesn't want to disturb Your Highness, and I hope Your Highness will forgive your sins! Qing Yu leaned over and bowed lowly.
"Don't be guilty of anything at every turn, you have followed me for so many years, there is no need to say that these are useless, by the way, has Lin Yue finished eating today's portions?" The prince withdrew his gaze and sat down at the table with his hands folded.
"It's all eaten." Qing Yu breathed a sigh of relief and raised her head a little.
"After eating, Lin Yue, didn't she feel anything strange?" The prince received an answer, but he felt that something was wrong.
"Your Royal Highness, Qing Yu inquired that the queen sent someone to the prison a few days ago, and she often treated Miss Lin Yue's food harshly, so I want to come to Miss Lin Yue now to change to eat, and I haven't thought about it so much." Qing Yu said it truthfully.
"Queen Mother...... Ha, under the nose of her father, she still wants to be dominant, it seems that Lin Yue must have said something before that angered her, otherwise she has always been cautious, and she would not be so out of proportion. After listening to Qing Yu's words, the prince's face was slightly surprised at first, and then turned peaceful.
"Then Your Highness, will the queen mother find another opportunity to make things difficult?" Qing Yu asked again.
The prince was about to open his mouth to answer him, when the door of the temple, which had been closed, was pushed open with a creak, and he came in to serve the grandmother who was drinking the medicine.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's time to drink the medicine." Mama poured the medicinal juice in the casserole into the bowl, and there was a faint glow in the jasper bowl, and there were a few dark purple petals floating on it, thinking that it should be the rumored blue sea lotus.
"Mama, what's so special about today's medicine, I don't feel bitter after drinking it?" The prince took out the spoon, directly raised it and drank it all, when he pretended to be asleep, his grandmother fed him the medicinal juice with a guide tube, the taste was extremely bitter, compared to today's, it seemed to have changed a pair of decoctions.
"Back to His Royal Highness, Niang Niang said that good medicine is good for disease, but now His Royal Highness has woken up, in addition to removing poison, he also added some spleen-strengthening hawthorn tangerine peel into it, I think it is so that today's medicine is different from the past." Mama leaned over and respectfully handed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.
"Then thank you for bothering the queen mother, when I am in good health, I must go to the queen mother to say goodbye." The prince's brows furrowed, and he suddenly wondered if Lin Yue was like he was like today when he ate the lotus root flour balls, was he full of suspicions? Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will rest early after drinking the medicine, and the emperor has also said that His Royal Highness must not work too hard, and the slave and maid will retire." Mama put away the medicine bowl and casserole and put it in the food box, leaned over and retreated.
"Qingyu, I haven't been sleeping well lately, I'm always thinking about my heart, I wrote a letter yesterday, you take it and send it to her." The prince deliberately raised the volume, and the grandmother who walked to the door closed the door and was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, Qing Yu obeys." Qing Yu leaned over to take the letter, and also glanced at the grandmother who was standing at the door with her ears almost on the door frame.
Seeing Qing Yu take the letter and walk to the door, Mama didn't dare to stay longer, holding the food box, and walked out of the East Palace quickly.
In the huge palace, the prince sat alone at the table, and the screen in front of him was painted with a picture of the continuous landscape, he was stunned, and he also planned his own great rivers and mountains in his heart, only for the great rivers and mountains of the Yi people.
……
"The prince is concerned and specially ordered me to come and deliver a letter to Miss Li." Driving to the gate of the Li Mansion, Qing Yu stood in front of the Li Mansion and said in a loud voice.
"Lord Qing, please come in, my young lady also misses the prince very much, and now this letter will definitely solve the pain of young lady's lovesickness." The housekeeper was busy working in the yard when he suddenly heard Qing Yu's voice, and immediately came out to greet him in three steps and two steps.
Qing Yu didn't talk to him, but just followed him into the house.
Li Xin'er's maid Lian'er also heard the movement, and was running towards the young lady's room with small steps.
"Miss, Miss, the prince sent Qingyu to deliver a letter to you!" Because of Tai Chi, when she stepped into Li Xin'er's boudoir, Lian'er almost tripped and stumbled, and she stumbled a few times before she walked to Li Xin'er.
"What? Send me a letter, Lian'er, what you said is true, why do I seem to have misheard? Li Xin'er was still sitting quietly at the table embroidering, and Lian'er handed over such news, where could she still sit.
