A few days later, Zi Ling was reading a book in the study. %&*";

The jade slave led Xinyu in: "Miss, Princess Xinyu is here, she said she wants to see you." ”

Seeing Zi Ling, Xin Yu ran over and hugged Zi Ling's legs: "Guifei Niangniang, Xin Yu is here to play with you." ”

Zi Ling couldn't help but secretly think, what a clever little ghost, obviously came to play with me, but said that he came to play with me, don't I still owe her a big favor?

Seeing that the weather was just right, Zi Ling took Xinyu to the garden to play hide and seek, Zi Ling blindfolded and grabbed Xinyu, and Xinyu ran happily.

With a "plop", Zi Ling heard Xinyu's cry, and tore off the silk cloth to see that Xinyu was struggling in the lotus pond. Zi Ling was so frightened that he hurriedly called someone, and Zhan Zhan rushed to rescue Xinyu.

Zi Ling took Xinyu to the bedroom, asked Yunu to fetch hot water, and casually found a set of his own clothes, ready to change Xinyu first. In such a winter, if Xinyu catches a cold, it will not be good. Besides, if something happened to Xinyu in Yongle Palace, she Xiao Ziling would be unable to escape the blame.

Zi Ling gently took off Xinyu's wet clothes, and saw that her small body was bruised and purple, and there was a dense little red spot on her leg.

Ziling was startled and hurriedly asked her, "Yu'er, where did the injuries on your body come from?" ”

Xinyu bit her lip tightly, opened her big teary eyes, and looked at Ziling innocently: "I can't say, if I say it, the concubine will beat me." ”

Zi Ling thought, could it be that Concubine De beat her? No way! It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, Concubine De looks gentle and kind, how can she attack her own children? It must have been accidentally dropped by the nurse or the palace maid.

While dressing her, Ziling said distressedly: "Yu'er, you tell the concubine Niangniang, which palace maid beat you like this?" You tell me, I'll help you tell the Queen Mother to go. ”

Xinyu's face was full of tears, and she cried wow, sobbing and saying, "It was the concubine who beat me...... The mother said that because I am not a prince, she cannot be a queen...... My mother would beat me when she was unhappy...... Brother Huang also beat me...... Woohoo......"

She cried whining, and didn't forget to tell Ziling: "Guifei Niangniang, can you pretend not to know?" The mother knows that if I tell you, she will throw me into the mountains to feed the tigers. Don't tell your father, okay? You know, my father didn't like my mother in the first place. %&*"; ”

Ziling's heart hurt for a while, for this cute and sensible little girl. Who would have thought that this princess with golden branches and jade leaves would be abused by her own mother for a long time! She was so sensible that even if she was abused, she never thought of asking her father or grandmother for help. Shouldn't such a sensible child be cared for in the palm of his hand?

Zi Ling gently wiped away her tears and took her little hand: "Let's go, I'll send you back." ”

Xinyu said: "Guifei Niangniang, can Xinyu not go back?" Xinyu loves to play with you. ”

Her half-pleading and half-coquettish eyes made Ziling almost soften, but she still refused her ruthlessly: "Your mother will be in a hurry, let's go back quickly." ”

When she led Xinyu into the Yongnian Palace, Concubine De was immersed in embroidery, and when she looked up and saw Zi Ling, she quickly got up: "My sister is here, why don't you say a word...... Before she finished speaking, she saw Xinyu led by Zi Ling, wearing a set of big clothes that didn't fit.

Her face changed dramatically in an instant, and she snatched Xinyu's little hand from Ziling's hand, and said anxiously, "Yu'er, shouldn't you sleep in the bedroom?" How could you be with her......" Xinyu's hand was pinched and groaned softly.

Ziling walked over and picked up Xinyu, as if nothing had happened: "Sister, Yu'er went to Yongle Palace, I didn't take care of it, she accidentally fell into the lotus pond, because I was afraid that she would be infected with the wind and cold, I dared to help her change her clothes." ”

"You...... Did you help her change her clothes? She tried to hide the uneasiness in her eyes, but she couldn't hide the trembling in her words.

"Yes." Zi Ling looked at her and remained silent.

"What about you...... What do you see? There was growing panic in his words.

Sure enough, it was her! This vicious mother!

Zi Ling sneered: "I saw Princess Xinyu's scarred body. She added a sentence in her heart, and also saw her scarred heart!

She suddenly had the urge to beat her hard, but she still squeezed out a smile: "Zi Ling thought, it must be a palace maid who accidentally fell on the princess." No, she was supposed to sleep, but she went to Yongle Palace, which shows that these palace maids did not take care of the princess wholeheartedly. ”

Zi Ling gave her the steps, and Concubine De was also a smart person, so she said, "Yes!" Be! It must be a palace maid who does not do her duty! This palace will definitely discipline the subordinates well. ”

Zi Lingda looked down on such a ruthless mother from the bottom of her heart, however, she knew how to hide her anger and disgust.

"The princess has been sent back safely, then, Ziling has taken his leave."

Concubine De piled up a smile and personally sent Zi Ling out of the Yongnian Palace.

After returning to Yongle Palace, Ziling's mood could not be calm. She always thought of Xinyu's injured immature body, how could she save this poor little princess?

Go and talk to the Queen Mother? However, the Queen Mother is Concubine De's aunt, will she not believe Ziling's words and defend her niece?

Tell the emperor? The emperor doesn't like Concubine De, after knowing about this, Long Yan is furious, how will Concubine De be disposed of? What if he killed her? Then she killed herself. Moreover, will the palace maids and eunuchs in the Yongnian Palace also be implicated?

The thought that someone might die because of this incident made Zi Ling in a dilemma.

Why don't you ask the emperor to hand over Xinyu to her to raise? Well, not bad! This is a good way to save Xinyu.

Thinking of a way, Zi Ling finally put his mind at ease.

In winter, the moon seems to be very round when frozen, and the moonlight on the ground is like a thin layer of frost that shatters when you step on it. The cold is like a demon, trying to get on the body in every possible way, and Zi Ling can't help but shiver.

She kept wandering in the courtyard, she knew that she was waiting for Meng Hongyu to come, who knows, she didn't wait for the emperor, but waited for the queen mother and Concubine De.

The Queen Mother was full of anger, and when she saw Ziling, she scolded sharply: "Concubine Xiao, you kneel down for the mourning family!" ”

Shinoru was frightened and fell to his knees with a thud.

Although I don't know what happened, the Queen Mother was angry at this time, and she still knelt down obediently: "If Ziling has done something, the Queen Mother is angry, I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me!" ”

"How old is Xinyu? How can you ruthlessly push her into the lotus pond and beat her like that?! ”

Oh my God, what the hell is going on? Xinyu was beaten like that by her? How did she find out until now?

Beside the Queen Mother, Concubine De was crying, anxious and distressed, Zi Ling understood - it turned out that the wicked person sued first!

Concubine De said, "Auntie, you have to make the decision for me." Yu'er is still unconscious, if she has any three longs and two shorts, I don't want to live......" Tears slipped from Concubine De's eyes, and the worries and grievances on her face were so realistic, she could win an Oscar.

"How could Yu'er be unconscious?" Zi Ling's heart tugged, wasn't she okay when she sent Yu'er back to Yongnian Palace in the afternoon? How can you be unconscious now?

"How dare you ask! Yu'er is infected with the wind and cold, and now she is lying in bed unconscious! The imperial doctor said, I don't know if I can survive tonight...... "The queen mother couldn't help but feel sad.

Turning all the sadness into anger, and burning it on Ziling, the Queen Mother said angrily: "If Yu'er has any three longs and two shorts, I must bury you with you!" ”

Zi Ling couldn't argue, so she could only bite her lip, look at Concubine De, and sneer in her heart.

However, you, she is more worried about Yu'er, the poor little princess, who is regarded by her mother as a stumbling block on the road to the back position, and wants to get rid of it as soon as possible. Although she is a noble princess, who would have thought how much hurt and pain this little girl endured?

"Empress Dowager Qi, Princess Xinyu accidentally fell into the lotus pond. The slave maid was present at the time and could testify for the concubine. Xiaoru finally couldn't help but defend Ziling.

"Bold! The Queen Mother speaks, how can you interject casually. Concubine De reprimanded Xiaoru, but Xiaoru bowed her head and didn't dare to say more.

"In short, Xinyu happened in Yongle Palace. Xiao Guifei, if the mourning family spares you for the time being, you will ask for more blessings and pray that Yu'er can wake up, otherwise, you will definitely die. ”

Dropping this thousand-pound sentence to press Ziling, the Queen Mother left without looking back.

Zi Ling stood helplessly, not knowing what to do, and when he came back to his senses, it was already late at night.

Thinking about Xinyu's condition and the Queen Mother's fierce words, Zi Ling's heart was in turmoil, and he finally figured out a clue. Zi Ling called Zhan Zhan and told him to go to Yongnian Palace to inquire about the news, and looked at Xinyu.

Zhan Zhan comprehended his mind and took the order to go.
