After leaving the Princess's Mansion, Lin Yingxue stopped near the Three Princes' Mansion by the way, and Linzhi, who was informed, quickly walked out of the mansion and came to Lin Yingxue's carriage.

"You have sent someone to monitor Murong Xiao's movements recently, and if he makes any moves, you must inform me in time." In order to avoid gossip when someone saw it, Lin Yingxue did not let Lin get into the carriage, but just opened the curtain and commanded.

"Yes." Lin Yi didn't have any expression as before, just answered seriously and then retreated.

Lin Yingxue lowered the curtain, and her face behind the curtain was cold.

Generally, daughters' marriages always have to be prepared half a year to a year in advance, but now the emperor has decreed that Lin Yingxue and Murong Xiao will get married within one month, which has shortened most of the time, not to mention, Lin Yingxue is also a young lady, and the dowry and other items that need to be prepared are much more than those of ordinary young ladies from small households.

Therefore, from the second day after the holy decree came down, the Lin family fell into a rush of busyness, and for Lin Yingxue's marriage, the other rooms actually changed their previous style, not only did not make Lin Yingxue stumbling, but enthusiastically helped Lin Yingxue to arrange all kinds of things that needed to be prepared, which was even more positive than Liu's mother.

In such a busy situation, seeing that the wedding date was approaching day by day, Di'er, Miaoqin and other henchmen couldn't help but feel a little anxious when they saw that Lin Yingxue had not done anything for a long time.

"Miss, seeing that it is less than twenty days before the day of marriage, has Miss thought of a way to get out?" Di'er has to ask this question almost every day, and at first Lin Yingxue would patiently appease the worried maids under her, but later Lin Yingxue was impatient to answer, and only let the people below be anxious.

Time passed day by day, until there were only ten days left, and Liu couldn't help but come over and ask in person, "Yingxue, what do you think?" Could it be ...... Just resigned to your fate? ”

It's no wonder that the Liu family would say this, after all, Lin Yingxue has been too calm these days, not only the Liu family, but even Di'er and others have stopped asking Lin Yingxue what to do recently, but just silently helped Lin Yingxue prepare for marriage.

"Mother, don't worry, there will always be a rainbow after the storm." Besides, she has been painstakingly arranging for nearly a month, and she should always have some gains.

Thinking about it, the corners of Lin Yingxue's mouth couldn't help but raise a sneer.

And just when Lin Yingxue was thinking so, Xue Ji, who was far away in the palace, was reprimanded by the emperor again.

"Okay, you just change these two dances all day long, you can't get tired of dancing, I'm tired of watching it, get down, and ask Xu Meiren to come over and play a tune for me." The emperor waved his hand impatiently, not even glancing at the charming beauty below.

Poor Xue Ji used to be the first favorite concubine by the emperor's side, but now she is not even as good as a beauty newly dedicated to the palace by a princess.

Xue Ji ignored the sneering glances of the palace people on the side, and after arranging her clothes, she retreated silently.

"What's going on with the emperor lately? Why is the temper getting bigger? As soon as she walked out of the palace and Qiangong, Xue Ji couldn't help but start complaining.

These days, the emperor often asks her to dance, but every time she dances halfway, the emperor begins to lose his temper and kick her out, and in the past, the emperor always called her to sleep for more than 20 days in a month, but this month is not once, and if it goes on like this, she may really be squeezed down by the new beauties who enter the palace!

Xue Ji was thinking about it, when suddenly a little eunuch ran over quickly and said something in Xue Ji's ear, Xue Ji's expression changed slightly, and she quickly opened her mouth and ordered: "This palace wants to go and relax alone, you should retreat first." ”

Seeing that Xue Ji was still complaining just now, he turned his mind to take a break at this moment, and the palace people who followed Xue Ji glanced at each other, although they were a little confused, but in the end they still took the order to retreat.

After Xue Ji left with the little eunuch, soon a eunuch hurriedly ran to the gate of the Heqian Palace, "The second prince enters the palace and meets in Yishanju." The eunuch cautiously looked around for a while before he walked up to a small eunuch guarding the front of the hall and said something quickly.

The eunuch who received the news nodded slightly, and soon trotted into the hall.

Zhao De is the emperor's confidant, and the emperor's daily life is mostly taken care of by him, and after the little eunuch entered the palace, he repeated the words he heard in Zhao De's ear.

When Zhao De heard this, his expression changed slightly, but he only waved his hand quietly on his face and motioned for the little eunuch to step back first, "Is the emperor's tea ready?" This was said to another little eunuch on the side.

"Back to my father-in-law, it's already soaked." The little eunuch replied as he hurriedly brought the brewed tea.

After Zhao De took the tea from the little eunuch, he personally sent it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, take a sip of tea to extinguish the fire." ”

Zhao De's service has always been the most appropriate, and the emperor did not reach out to take it, but took a sip of tea on Zhao De's hand. This sip of tea is full of fragrance, as if the fire in the internal organs has been extinguished.

"Yes, your skills in making tea are getting better and better." The emperor praised and took another sip of tea from Zhao De's hand.

Zhao De was praised by the emperor like this, and his face was full of smiles, "Look at what the emperor said, slaves are born to serve the emperor, how can they stay by the emperor's side and serve without some craftsmanship." ”

"You, you, this mouth will coax me!" The emperor smiled and pointed at Zhao De, and his mood was obviously much better.

Zhao De saw that the emperor's mood had improved, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, when the slave saw Fang Cai Xue Ji Niangniang go out, his expression seemed to be very sad...... Does the emperor want to go over to appease Xue Ji Niangniang? ”

The emperor still has affection for Xue Ji, otherwise he wouldn't always summon Xue Ji to dance for him, but he has been troubled by another thing recently, and he unconsciously angered Xue Ji, and at this time, the anger in his heart subsided, and the emperor inevitably felt a little ashamed of Xue Ji.

"That's what you said, it's been a pain for her these days...... the emperor paused, and then said, "Did the group of old immortals in the Tai Hospital send new medicine?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the last medicine didn't work, the imperial doctors have gone back to study new prescriptions, and they must be sent over in less than two days." Zhao De replied cautiously.

When the emperor heard this, his mood finally turned gloomy and became a little gloomy, "Those old things, they can't even see this little problem, I might as well raise a group of pigs by my side!" ”

After complaining, the emperor stood up, "Where is Yukihime now?" I went to see her, and when Xu Meiren arrived, I told her to wait in the temple. ”

"Yes." Zhao De heard that the emperor was going to see Xue Ji, and hurriedly replied: "Just now, Xue Ji Niangniang retired from the palace people, saying that she wanted to go for a walk in the small garden alone. ”

"Little garden?" When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help muttering to the end: "What is this little girl doing there alone?" Isn't the Royal Garden better? ”

As the emperor spoke, he walked outside, and Zhao De followed behind the emperor with his head down, silent.

At the same time as the emperor rushed to the small garden, Xue Ji finally met Murong Xiao.

"Second Highness." When facing Murong Xiao, Xue Ji still had a cold and arrogant face.

"You still have the face to call me?" However, Murong Xiao said with anger on his face: "I took so much effort to get you into the palace, look at your recent performance?" If you can't keep your father's favor, you know what will happen to you! ”

Murong Xiao's words made Xue Ji's face pale, and she paused before saying with a cold face: "Second Highness, don't forget, now that Your Second Highness can speak in front of the emperor, who is the credit in it?" His Royal Highness can abandon me, but I am also sure that I will trample on His Second Highness before He abandons me! ”

Xue Ji's face is grim, her tone is cold, where is there still a little charm and softness in front of the emperor?

Murong Xiao was stared at by Xue Ji's cold eyes, and he actually felt a chill rise in his back for no reason. He turned his head away, trying to hide the emptiness on his face.

"Hmph, anyway, you have to find a way to win back your father's heart, otherwise I will find someone else to enter the palace to replace you." As Murong Xiao spoke, he couldn't help but turn his head and quietly glanced at Xue Ji.

His gaze slid from Yukihime's beautiful face to her graceful body...... Such a stunning beauty, that old guy actually got tired of playing so quickly, it's really a tyrannical thing! Murong Xiao swallowed his saliva, his eyes showing greed.

Xue Ji took Murong Xiao's expression into her eyes, she smiled sarcastically, deliberately pulled down the clothes on her shoulders, and looked at the snow-white and smooth shoulders, Murong Xiao's eyes erupted with fire, but he didn't have the audacity to rush up and do anything to Xue Ji.

Although there was a distance between them, the emperor couldn't hear what Murong Xiao and Xue Ji said, but the flirting between his son and his concubine was clearly seen by the emperor.

"Your Majesty ......" Zhao De saw the emperor's chest rising and falling violently, for fear that the emperor would make some impulsive moves, so he couldn't help but call the emperor carefully.

"Go back to the palace." Who thought that the emperor didn't say anything, and didn't do anything, turned around and walked in the direction of the dormitory.

Zhao De followed behind the emperor and glanced at the two in the distance with a little sympathy - he knew the emperor too well, if the emperor rushed out at this time to scold the two, the two might be able to get the emperor's forgiveness by interceding, but the emperor walked away quietly, this matter would become a thorn in the emperor's heart, and when the emperor broke out, this thorn would be a fatal sting for both Xue Ji and Murong Xiao.

At night, the emperor was in the imperial study to review the folds, but all he could think about was the scene he bumped into near the small garden today.

Why did his beloved concubine behave like that to his son, and did there be any unsavory relationship between the two of them? The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he felt in his heart, and it happened that at this time, Zhao De came in with a bowl of medicine, "Your Majesty, it's time to drink medicine." ”

Looking at the bowl of black medicinal juice, the emperor frowned in disgust, but after hesitating for a moment, he still picked up the bowl of medicine and poured it down.

"Call Yukihime to sleep tonight." After drinking the medicine, the emperor said with a calm face.

"Yes." Zhao De's eyes flashed, but there was no expression on his face.
