Chapter 04: Trouble
Chang Ji answered and immediately went out to find Ding Liangyuan's master and servant, while Li Liangdi glanced at Hongling, the personal palace maid, with a nervous face.
Hongling hurriedly followed behind, "Father-in-law Chang's slave maid will show you the way." ”
Chang Ji pushed her away, "Ding Liangyuan was sent in by the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family remembers the location, so don't bother the girl." ”
gave a look to the little eunuch behind him, and the two immediately looked at Hongling left and right to prevent her from moving.
Hongling stomped her feet in a hurry, Chang Ji didn't look at her, and went directly to the side hall in the west.
I happened to see Lilac fetching water from the well in the west courtyard by herself, and struggled to carry out a bucket of water.
"Lilac, is your master here? The prince is invited. ”
When Lilac saw them coming, she was stunned for a moment and turned around and rushed into the house, and at the same time shouted excitedly, "Miss, Grandpa Chang is here, and the prince is here." ”
I'm glad to have a little broken sound.
Chang Ji frowned slightly and sighed faintly.
The little eunuch who followed behind him was a little dissatisfied, "Father-in-law Chang, why is this palace maid so rude." ”
"Don't blame her, it's not her fault that she was tortured too hard."
Chang Ji understood that the master and servant had suffered a lot.
After a while, Huilan was helped out by Lilac, Huilan was wearing a goose-yellow high-waisted skirt, she was sick and weak, she matched this tender yellow dress, her little face became more and more pale and haggard, and her thin body seemed to be blown away by the wind.
She walked up to Chang Ji and curtsied, "Father-in-law Chang, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting, the room is small, I can't stand on my feet, and there is no hot water, so I really can't entertain you." ”
Huilan deliberately leaned on Lilac very weakly, and she was still a little out of breath when she spoke, but her etiquette was very thoughtful, and she looked at Chang Gonggong's eyes with a little more surprise and gratitude.
"Liangyuan has suffered, the prince summoned you, you can go and meet with the miscellaneous family."
"Okay, thank you, I'm sorry for you to go."
Chang Ji saw that she was young, thin and thin, and sick and could barely walk, so he said, "The slave will help you." ”
"Thank you."
Hui Lan didn't refuse, she knew that the eunuch was very sensitive, and if she pushed it away, it would make Chang Ji think that she disliked him, and she would inevitably offend this celebrity.
She leaned her body almost half-on Changji's arm, but it was not pretending, she really didn't have much strength, and her body didn't heal.
"Slow down, watch your step."
Chang Ji didn't show his face because Huilan was not favored, but took care of it carefully, and his attitude was very respectful.
Hui Lan nodded slightly in her heart, this is the real smart person.
"Thank you Father-in-law Chang, no wonder you can win the trust of the prince, you are really a capable person."
Hui Lan praised.
Chang Ji was slightly stunned, understood the meaning of her words, and smiled after thinking about it, "You are a master and a nobleman, we are slaves and we should serve well, and we can't afford your praise." ”
"No matter what, you must have reported that the prince can come, I owe you a personal favor, and you can come to get it back if you have difficulties in the future."
Hui Lan smiled and made a promise.
Chang Ji smiled but didn't say anything, he didn't pay attention to it at all, you couldn't protect yourself, and you still worried about what the miscellaneous family was doing.
The group came to the main hall, and when they entered the inner hall, they saw the bright and moving Li Liangdi, and the handsome and fairy prince Li Chengze.
This is the second time Huilan has seen him, and when he was assigned to the East Palace, he met once, and casually nodded, go to the Yilan Palace to live.
It is estimated that the prince may not remember whether Ding Huilan is round or flat.
Hui Lan sighed secretly in her heart, in fact, this original body is a little similar to herself, but she is much more delicate and beautiful than herself, and she has a smart and delicate temperament all over her body, if she is not sick, she is also a beauty.
"Prince Kang'an, Li Liangyuan makeup."
Huilan's rules of etiquette, although she is a cultivator, is no stranger to etiquette, and she is still handy.
"Let's get up. Why did you get sick like this? ”
Li Chengze saw that Huilan's thin body was crumbling, her face was pale and haggard, her eyes were a little picked, and she looked a little unbearable.
"Ding Liangyuan, your body is too weak, and you haven't gotten better after so many days of taking care of you, you have to be careful of your body."
Li Liangdi's fast-talking interjection hinted that she was careful to speak.
Huilan tilted her head and looked at Li Liangdi, "So many people take care of me? Who's taking care of me? I woke up and fell asleep, I only saw Lilac alone, no one else, I don't know who so many people Liangdi said, I haven't even seen the trace of the imperial doctor, where is the person? ”
"You have to be careful what you say."
Li Liangdi's eyebrows were raised and glared at her angrily, she simply toasted and didn't eat and drink, and she wanted to sue me, just because you didn't have a girl with all your hair, you also deserve it!
"You don't have to threaten me, I've already died once, am I still afraid of you? I remember that this is the prince's east palace, it doesn't seem to be your Li family's backyard.
Did you imply to me that you wanted my life, and you didn't already do it? It's a pity that it didn't work out as you wished, and you were disappointed. ”
Huilan questioned loudly, glared at her fiercely, and wanted to rush up and bite her to death, just for a little jealousy, she killed an innocent little girl in vain, which was simply hateful.
"What nonsense are you talking about, come and slap your mouth!"
Li Liangdi didn't want to speak angrily.
"I'll see who moves me."
Hui Lan suddenly pulled out a dagger, the kind of knife used to cut fruit, and slashed it across her neck, threatening everyone.
"Be bold, let go."
Li Chengze stood up, his expression cold and serious.
Huilan chuckled, "Li Liangdi, your Li family is a great member of the Guogong Mansion, but I also came in by draft, and my father is also an official of the imperial court."
My daughter was selected into the East Palace and died in your Li Liangdi's bedroom for no reason, how do you explain, how should the prince face the hundred officials? ”
Li Liangdi was stunned for a moment, pointing at Ding Huilan with her finger, trembling with anger.
"You, you put it down for me, you are so bold!"
"Hey, Liangyuan, I can't help it, if you have any grievances, just say it, the prince will call the shots for you, this can't be helped, let it go."
Chang Ji waved his hand anxiously to intercept it, but was glared at by Huilan fiercely, and the knife immediately cut blood marks, which frightened him to stop quickly.
"I've died once, am I still afraid of death? You must give me an account today, or I'll die here.
I will let everyone know that the prince's Liangyuan was abused and had no choice but to kill herself!
I don't know what the emperor will think of the Li family, and how the outside will spread the upbringing of your Li family's daughter, but I know that the emperor will definitely question the prince, and the hundred officials also need an explanation. ”
She didn't care about pressing every step of the way, she must leave the Yilan Hall completely no matter what.
"What do you want?"
"Simple, one, I want to move out of the Yilan Hall forever, don't pick a place, I don't complain about sleeping in the firewood room with Lilac."
"Yes, Chang Ji will clean up Qinghui Garden and let Ding Liangyuan live."
Li Chengze immediately nodded briskly.
"Yes."
Chang Ji answered.
"Anything else? It's all said, lonely time is limited, and there is no time for you to ink. ”
Li Chengze crossed his arms, and his slender fingers tapped his arms rhythmically. looked at Hui Lan's eyes were cold.
"Second, I need a doctor to see a doctor, Li Liangdi abused me, and even wanted to starve me to death, I want justice;
Moreover, all the money I brought from home was extorted by their master and servant, and I was given back a thousand taels of silver, not a single one of which was missing. ”
"I didn't take your money, don't blame the good guys."
Hongling was so frightened that she quickly shook her hand and refused to admit it.
Hui Lan laughed contemptuously, "Good man, your master and servant are also good people, not afraid of being thundered by the sky?"
Didn't you say it, even if I die, the prince won't take a second look, if you want to seek justice, there is no way, the Li family can make decisions for me, the Li family is really powerful. ”
Li Chengze squinted at Hongling, and the meaning of his eyes was unclear.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's impossible for Hongling to say such a thing."
Li Liangdi was suddenly anxious, and in a hurry, she didn't care about Huilan's life or death, so she was about to rush up and beat her, and the idea of beating was that Huilan was dead.
She rushed over regardless of it, but Huilan reached out and grabbed her arm and gently twisted her wrist with skill, and Li Liangdi was forced to rotate in place.
Li Liangdi was weak and Qianqian, and specially cultivated the concubines sent to the palace, but she had no power to fight back at all.
Although Huilan's body is weak, she used to be a monk, but she has practiced martial arts, and it is not difficult to use some skill.
However, the force of a drag controlled her in his arms, and the knife fell on Li Liangdi's face.
"Ahh The prince saved me, she was a madman. ”
Li Liangdi screamed in horror and kept moving.
The knife slashed her neck, and blood immediately bubbled out.
was so frightened that Li Liangdi made a uh-uh sound from her mouth, she couldn't say anything, and her whole person froze.
"If you dare to move again, I'll scratch your face, a disfigured woman, do you think the Li family will still support you?"
Hui Lan's cold and clear mind made Li Chengze's eyes light up.
