On June 5, the 45th year of Zhaode, the sun set westward, and the palace of the capital city was in a towering palace wall, located in the northwest corner of the east palace, Li Liangdi's Yilan Palace.

Because the crown princess has not yet started, there is also Yu Liangdi in the same position as Li Liangdi, Yu Li and Li have the same family background, one literature and one martial arts, which was set by the queen.

Liangdi is the third product, except for the crown princess, the highest position in the concubine room, there are only two places in Liangdi, and now there are Li Liangdi and Yu Liangdi, and the quota is full.

In the westernmost corner of Li Liangdi's dormitory, there is a small room, in which there are two master and servant, and the master is Ding Huilan.

Ding Huilan's family background is relatively low, and she was also favored by the Queen Mother during the draft, saying that her eyes are good-looking, clear and moving, and she looks honest if she is not charming, so she gave the title of a good woman to the crown prince Li Chengze.

The palace maid Hongling came to the West House with a small food box, stood in the courtyard and looked left and right, pouted in disgust, and shouted when she opened her mouth.

"Where is the death? Dead or not, not dead to come out to get food. ”

The palace maid Lilac is a talented person's dowry maid, and Hongling was also brought by Li Liangdi from her mother's family, so her status is naturally different.

"Sister Hongling, you are a little noisy and my master is resting."

When Lilac came out and saw that it was her, she was immediately not very happy, but she didn't dare to show it, so she could only swallow her anger and say a word.

Hong Ling chuckled disdainfully with one hand on her waist, and glanced inside, her face was undisguised with disgust.

"A sick man lives in our Yilan Courtyard, but don't give us a good breath of illness, that's a big disrespect. Here you go. ”

Unceremoniously stuffed the food box to her.

Lilac opened it and looked at it, and suddenly couldn't help it, there was only one cake and a few pieces of dim sum that I don't know who wouldn't eat the leftovers, and they were a little dry.

She immediately tugged on Hongling's sleeve and asked, "My master is also a good woman, doesn't he even have a meal?" ”

Hongling looked at her and said funny, "If you want to eat, you can, take the money, I'll get you food if you have money, hehehe!" ”

Ding Xiang's whole body trembled, and he pointed at her and scolded angrily, "My young lady's money has been cheated out by you, is Liangdi going to starve us to death?" How will you explain to the prince when the time comes? ”

Hongling raised her head and laughed, the flowers and branches of laughter trembled, and when she laughed enough, she shook off her hand, and gave Lilac a big ear scraper with her backhand, which was crisp and loud.

She sneered disdainfully, "Let's let your master pee like yourself first, and explain to the prince, don't be funny, no one will ask if you die."

My master's maiden family is the Li family, the Guogong Mansion, can you afford to provoke it, get out, don't delay me in doing things, you have to die quickly, it's bad luck to look at! ”

Without hesitation, he pushed away the cloves, sneered mockingly, and walked away triumphantly.

Lilac covered her face and stood helplessly in the yard crying, once the master has a case, he doesn't know what kind of fate he will have tomorrow.

Ding Liangyuan, who was lying in the house, Ding Huilan heard the noise and crying outside, couldn't help frowning, and gradually woke up.

He coughed uncomfortably violently in his throat, and when he heard the voice, Lilac turned around in surprise and ran into the house.

A few steps trotted to the bed, "Master, are you awake, are you better?" ”

Ding Huilan woke up and saw a girl in front of her with a palace maid's double bun, with a round face and clear eyebrows, and surprise and concern in her eyes.

As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant.

"Lilac, give me saliva."

"Miss, you wait, I'll pour you a glass of water."

Lilac hurriedly went to the warm bucket under the window and poured a glass of cold white water, carefully helped her up, and fed her to drink.

The cold water made her a little more sober, and then she saw the person in front of her clearly, a girl with delicate eyebrows and generous eyes, a round face, and obvious concern and surprise in her eyes.

Ding Huilan covered her head, her mind seemed to be full of paste, and some memories that did not belong to her kept flooding into her mind, and it took a long time to figure out her situation.

"Lilac, what time is it, how long have I been asleep?"

Ding Huilan knew that the girl in front of her was the dowry maid brought in by the original owner, and she served her since she was a child, she has always been steady and intelligent, and she was selected to be brought into the palace when she was a proper person everywhere.

"It's been a while. Miss, have a glass of water. ”

Lilac poured another glass of water.

Ding Huilan knew that the original owner died because he had a cold and could not be treated, and he happened to be crossed by herself and picked up a bargain.

The little girl's body was a little weak, and Li Liangdi, who was in the same dormitory, was jealous that she was praised by the Queen Mother for being honest.

"I'm hungry, I have cloves. Have you ever been here?"

Ding Huilan wasn't sure if Li Liangdi really had the courage to boil people to death.

"Miss, thanks to your awakening, and some snacks and cakes, you can make do with them.

Li Liangdi didn't ask you for a doctor, and said that you would be fine if you sleeped, but now you haven't had a few mouthfuls of food for three or four days, where is the medicine. ”

Lilac shed tears aggrievedly, she went to beg Li Liangdi to ask a doctor to take a look, but she refused without hesitation, and said that she couldn't be the master if the prince was not there, so don't make a fuss.

She was just a palace maid who couldn't leave the East Palace without permission, so she could only watch the young lady get worse and worse, and finally she was almost unconscious.

"Miss, eat slowly, drink some water, don't choke."

When Lilac saw Ding Huilan eating and devouring, she immediately cried in distress.

"Don't cry, why don't you have anything to eat? Did she hit you? ”

Ding Huilan saw that this snack was dry, she choked badly, the cake was also hard, and it hurt to beat people, how could she swallow it.

But she has no physical strength, she is really empty, and if she doesn't eat, she is afraid that she will starve to death.

"Miss, you haven't woken up since you got sick, Li Liangdi said that she was afraid that she couldn't move us out after she was sick, so she sent a meal every day, and there was no charcoal fire, fortunately the weather was hot, otherwise how could you survive."

Ding Xiang's tears fell straight down.

"Don't be afraid, it's no big deal when I wake up, it's just a little empty. Has the prince come to see her? ”

"The prince didn't come today, but he came to see Li Liangdi two days ago."

Lilac replied truthfully.

"How often does the prince come, and when do most of them come?"

What Ding Huilan urgently needs to solve is the dilemma in front of her, she has no fire and no food, her body is weak and her eyes are full of stars.

It's not easy to be reborn as a human being, even if it's a sick seedling, she's very happy, she doesn't want to die, she wants to survive.

"I can't say I'll come tomorrow, every time I come, I'll come to dinner in the afternoon, what do you want to do, Miss."

"Of course it's to get rid of Li Liangdi, can't you wait for the two of us to starve to death? So you come and listen to my arrangement. ”

Ding Huilan pondered for a moment and beckoned to the maid Lilac, and muttered a few words in her ear.

"Can Miss do it?"

Lilac was a little scared.

"It's okay, she deliberately concealed it, I also came in from the draft, and if she died for no reason, it wouldn't look good on the prince's face. Do we still have any money? ”

Ding Huilan didn't know where to put the money, but she knew that the original owner's father was a fourth-grade official, with an ordinary family background and an average family background, not a wealthy and noble family, and when she came in, she only brought a thousand taels of silver tickets, almost all the spare money in the family.

"There's one last point left, twenty taels of silver tickets." Lilac took the silver ticket out of the small drawer of the bedside table.

"It's too little, so you can take this gold bracelet too, wait for the eunuch who delivers the food to come, stuff it for him, and let him bring a message to the father-in-law beside the prince."

Ding Huilan explained to the maids like this, they lived in Li Liangdi's dormitory, and their every move was watched, and they were afraid that she would go out to complain.

But the eunuch who delivered the meal was not Li Liangdi's person, but a person from the imperial kitchen of the East Palace, according to Liangyuan's five products, there would not be only one cake and a few pieces of dim sum so shabby, these were specially instructed by Li Liangdi to deliberately rub her underneath.

"Will it work?"

Lilac was not sure and looked very hesitant.

"You only tell him that if Ding Liangyuan dies, the imperial kitchen will have to bear the responsibility of sitting together, especially if he can't run away and take his life.

Liangyuan of Zidong Palace was starved to death due to illness, what a joke and humiliation it was to spread out, are you sure that the prince will not ask for guilt? ”

Ding Huilan is from the cultivation planet, and her spiritual root is very poor and difficult to advance, but she is very powerful in refining medicine, and she can also support herself.

Practitioners are accustomed to fighting to survive, and naturally understand that you will only be helped if you tie your own interests to the interests of others, otherwise it is not your own business.

"The slave and maid understand."

"Bring me the water, keep your spirits up, you will go tomorrow, I believe that someone will come to pick us up soon, and you don't have to be angry with Li Liangdi in the future."

Ding Huilan smiled affirmatively.

"Okay."

Lilac moved the bucket of hot water to her, and Huilan drank it before she felt that her chest was not so clogged.

Lilac helped her lie down, and Huilan held her hand, "You also go to sleep for a while, I'm fine, we have to have a tough battle tomorrow." ”

"Yes, the slave will do it for you."

Lilac gritted her teeth and was steadfast in her attitude.

Huilan closed her eyes and still needed to sort out the extra memories in her head, and what to say if she could see the prince tomorrow, so that she could completely leave Li Liangdi's jurisdiction.

This Li Liangdi is of a higher grade than her, she is a third-grade person, she is ruthless, and she bullies this little Liangyuan a lot.

Bi Huilan is young, her family background is innocent and clean, her family is not dirty, and she has a delicate and innocent temperament.

I also came in to go through the motions, but I didn't expect the Queen Mother to say a word, and she entered the prince's East Palace.
