Chapter 21: It's Her
As she pondered, a conversation came from behind her that shocked her even more.
"Our mother promised you a large sum of money to let you leave the palace immediately, never come back, while the queen is seriously ill now, the palace is negligent, you will leave tomorrow, this time it did not harm the concubine, but even the eldest princess, it is not our mother's intention, now that the matter is over, you can just leave."
"Okay, as long as you give me two pieces of silver, I'll leave immediately."
"Go ahead of now, while there's no one there."
There was a sparse sound, a man and a woman flashed out of the hole on the other side of the rockery, and Cheng Lingyue quickly dodged and looked out.
The man is a face-to-face guard, judging by his costume, he should be a third-class guard, which palace is he?
Well, it's just that the face is very, not like the guards in the palace, are they the guards on duty at the gates everywhere?
The woman, the palace maid in a green palace maid costume, Cheng Lingyue squinted slightly, so familiar, who is it?
Cheng Lingyue's eyes widened suddenly, and her face was incredulous.
Well, it's you!
Cheng Lingyue gritted her teeth and forced herself to suppress her anger, now is not a good time for revenge, and she has no evidence, based on these few words alone, if people don't admit it, she will fall behind.
But what you owe to this palace, what you owe to the eldest princess, this palace will definitely cut you with a thousand knives and break your corpse into thousands of pieces, so that you will never be reborn.
Cheng Lingyue's cold eyes were as sharp as knives, her expression was bloodthirsty and hateful, she looked coldly at their distant backs, and secretly swore an oath.
"I, Cheng Lingyue, swear to heaven that I will torture my daughter to death, I can't survive, I can't die."
Cheng Lingyue had a cold face, her eyes were gloomy and bloodthirsty looking at the clear and transparent blue sky, and her mood of making up her mind was cheerful, she turned around and walked back indifferently and coldly.
"Queen, where are you?"
"The Queen? Where are you? There was a cry of anxiety from a distance.
"Hongu is here." Cheng Lingyue frowned slightly, and replied loudly.
"Mother, cloak." Qingxin said as she helped Cheng Lingyue put on a warm leather silk embroidery cloak.
Qingxin, who squatted down to sort out Cheng Lingyue's hem, saw at a glance that Cheng Lingyue was still slowly dripping with the jade hand that donated blood.
was so frightened that his face changed instantly, as if he had been evacuated to donate blood, as white as snow, without blood.
A few bits of bright red were printed on the white skirt, as if the white snow was full of bright red poinsettias.
So bright, so dazzling, so dazzling.
But it was this bright red spot that made Qingxin cry out in panic, "Queen Mother, are you injured?" How did it get hurt? ”
Qingxin forcibly endured the tears that came out of his eyes, took out a snow-white silk handkerchief, and gently bandaged Cheng Lingyue.
"It's all slaves and maids who are not good, slaves and maids who don't take good care of Niangniang, slaves and maids should die, Niangniang, is there any other injury?"
After bandaging the jade hand, Qingxin carefully circled around Cheng Lingyue, and after seeing no more wounds, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mother, the slave will help you go back." Qingxin checked Queen Cheng Lingyue once and found no other wounds, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully helped Cheng Lingyue.
But I didn't want Cheng Lingyue to look in a direction as if she hadn't heard it, her eyes were deep and far-reaching.
Qingxin followed Cheng Lingyue's gaze and looked over, isn't the palace in that direction Mrs. Li's palace?
And Zhang Guiji's palace is also in that direction, what is Niangniang looking at?
Mrs. Lee? Mrs. Li has a docile personality, is kind to people, and is also loyal to her mother, shouldn't it be her?
As for Zhang Guiji, Niangniang didn't look at it either.
Qingxin couldn't figure it out for a while.
However, a palace, unless it is like those pavilions, generally has more than one concubine.
Generally, the main hall is inhabited by the lord of the first house.
However, the side hall and the side hall can still accommodate a few concubines who are attached to the main hall.
So it's really hard for her to determine who the queen is looking at.
"Let's go back." Just when he was thinking about it, Cheng Lingyue suddenly opened his voice.
Qingxin hurriedly put his thoughts back, and carefully waited for the queen to return to the palace.
The two of them walked slowly, and unconsciously walked to the pavilion where Yun Xiaoxiao, Qin Yuning, and Ji Yunhui were sitting.
The three of them hurried down from the pavilion and walked briskly to the side of the road and curtsied to the blessing ceremony.
The palace maids who followed them all knelt down and kowtowed.
Cheng Lingyue nodded very coldly, and walked straight past them.
Yun Xiaoxiao shrugged his nose invisibly, very sensitive to the vague blood in the air.
She secretly looked at Cheng Lingyue, and she saw a few red dots at the hem of the cloak, and she saw the jade hand with the handkerchief wrapped between the fluttering clothes.
She was actually injured.
Hehe, it seems that she should have heard the truth.
I just don't know what she's going to do with her.
After Cheng Lingyue walked away, Yun Xiaoxiao slowly stood up straight, squinted slightly, and then took Qing Yuning's arm, and took Ji Yunhui's hand to the pavilion again, "Let's sit and go back, it's rare that the weather is so good today." ”
"Hmm." Qin Yuning smiled faintly and nodded.
Ji Yunhui is the kind of character who is happy as long as someone is with her, and she doesn't care where she is, and of course she sits back in the gazebo and talks without any opinion.
Most of them were Ji Yunhui chattering non-stop, Yun Xiaoxiao and Qin Yuning said a few words from time to time, and they were in full swing for a while, but it was Ji Yunhui who talked the most.
She also said while eating, and after a while, the plate of pearl grapes in front of her was eaten up by herself, she rubbed her head a little in confusion, and stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, "It's all eaten for me, but it's delicious, is there anything else?" ”
"Poof" Yun Xiaoxiao didn't hold back and laughed.
Qin Yuning also smiled and shook his head helplessly.
Yun Xiaoxiao deliberately teased her, "I just have such a plate of pearl grapes, I haven't eaten a single one, and I have eaten them all for you." ”
She also deliberately pretended to be regretful, and Ji Yunhui was even more embarrassed, and stammered, "Then, when I have this grape, I won't eat it all and leave it to my sister." ”
"Huh." Yun Xiaoxiao laughed heartily when she heard this, "Silly girl, tease you, wait a minute, I'll let the bellflower send you a little more, Xiaojuan has written it down, and there is also Lord Qin's." ”
"Yes, the slave has written it down." Xiaojuan responded.
Just as they were talking, a message came from Kunning Palace, that is, the queen mother had recovered from her illness after this period of recuperation, which meant that tomorrow the concubines should go to ask for peace.
Yun Xiaoxiao's expression was faint, but the drooping eyes covered the sneer under her eyes, it seems that there will be a good show tomorrow.
