With Zhilan, who has thoughts, although her daily life is still eating, sleeping, and having fun, whenever she thinks of her dream of being a doctor in her previous life in this world, she will feel warm hope in her chest. When I have nothing to do, I will silently go through the medical theories I remember in my heart, so as not to pretend to be a child and pretend to be a child for a long time, and my brain will rust.

In this way, three years passed quickly.

When Zhilan was four years old, a lot of big things happened in the capital. For example, I heard that the White Lotus Sect is resurrecting again, such as a royal princess getting married, and so on.

Every afternoon break, Zhilan would take the pendant to carry a small stool and sit down at the root of the corner gate wall to listen. Because at this time, the servants and laborers of the family will sit down outside the corner gate, rest and nap, and talk about some parents' short and gossip. This is an important channel for Zhilan to understand the outside world. She really can't stand being bored in the house all day long, watching women do needlework, and listening to the master. It is necessary to extend the tentacles of information out of the wall and understand the outside world, otherwise how to go out and gain a foothold in society in the future. (Pretending, it's actually curious and gossipy.) ）

Recently, what they talked about the most was the princess's marriage.

"I heard that the princess is the emperor's sister, and she looks like ...... Oops, how do you say the words, sink what falls......"

"The emperor's sister? No way? Aren't the emperor's youngest sisters already married? Where's the sister again? ”

"I heard that this princess was born to a woman whom the emperor met when he was touring Jiangnan twenty years ago, and she has been living among the people for many years......

"Oh, yes, yes. It is said that he only entered the palace four years ago...... What is the title called...... Oh, Princess Bright Moon. ”

With a "boom", the news exploded in Zhilan's head. It made her mind go blank, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time. Only then did she understand why her father had brought the woman back four years earlier. Sure enough, it's the emperor's order......

Settle down, hold your breath and continue to listen: "So this princess is in her twenties, why is she only getting married now?" ”

"The people have been in exile for so many years, and they are not allowed to stay in the palace for two more years? Learn the rules or something......"

"You just talk nonsense, it is said that the emperor has chosen a lot of characters for this sister, and she just refuses to marry this princess."

"Hehe, don't you have a sweetheart......

"Even if you have a sweetheart, you can't take your turn! Hahaha! ”

The next thing was that the men were laughing and laughing at each other with a little color, and Shen'er stood aside and listened, nor did he walk, and his face was red with shame. Zhilan, on the other hand, looked serious as if she hadn't heard it, frowned and fell into deep thought. For some reason, this rumor reminded her of the ominous premonition she had when she heard the news that Mingyue was about to enter the palace from her father and mother four years ago.

Her fears proved to be justified.

The inner garden of the Imperial Palace, in the Bright Moon Pavilion.

"Have you really figured it out? Don't you marry? The Emperor asked.

"Brother Huang, as early as four years ago, my little sister decided not to marry this person." The person who said this was the Mingyue girl back then, and the current Mingyue princess.

The emperor sighed and said, "It's just that this person knows your past, I'm afraid...... Alas! ”

Mingyue raised her head, and her bright eyes overflowed with a strange brilliance: "I will let him be willing, besides, Brother Huang, your order, as a courtier, who dares to disobey." ”

When the emperor heard this, he was a little angry. He and Mingyue don't have much brother-sister affection, but because of the emperor's last order, he wants to find this sister and treat her well to make up for years of debt. Pepsi filial piety comes first, and as the emperor, he naturally has to set an example, but the requirements of this princess Mingyue are really a bit difficult. Although she is now a princess, only Lin Mubai knows about the past of the Qinglou woman. forcibly marrying such an innocent woman to him, I am afraid that he will not agree, and maybe he will poke out this unseemly history of Qinglou, which is against royal decency.

After pondering for a long time, the emperor finally made a decision. Listen to him say word by word, "I will point you to him." ”

When Mingyue heard this, her ecstasy was overflowing. Just as he was about to say thanks, he heard the emperor add: "However, you can only be a concubine." Otherwise, I won't be able to be the master. ”

"For the concubine......" Mingyue muttered, "but...... With my royal dignity, how can I let a princess be a concubine? ”

The Emperor said with some sarcasm: "Have you forgotten who ransomed you from the land of fireworks?" Seeing that Mingyue seemed to be shaken, he continued: "If you want to be a wife, you can choose young talents, and I will give you a princess's mansion." But if you want to marry Lin Mubai, you can only be a concubine. You...... Take your pick."

Mingyue bit her lower lip, unwilling. But the emperor had already said this, and did not leave room for deliberation.

"I ...... I still want to marry Lin Mubai, even if it is for a concubine, I have to marry. ”

The Emperor sighed and said, "Alas, well. This is the path you have chosen, and you will regret it then, no wonder I didn't remind you. With that, he shook his head and left with a group of attendants.

I saw that Mingyue was still standing in place, quietly looking at the direction of the emperor's departure, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly in a voice that only she could hear: "Being a concubine now does not mean that you will still be a concubine in the future." ”

At night, the moonlight is cold, and only a few sparse stars flicker in the black night. The streets and alleys of the capital are silent, and there are occasional hurried pedestrians. However, the commercial area in the southeast corner of the capital is still bustling with people and bright lights. If you talk about the most prosperous place here, it is none other than Yiqing Building. This is the largest brothel in the capital, and the people who come and go here are high-ranking officials and nobles, wealthy businessmen. At this time, it was the best time for the business of Yiqing Building, and the old bao wearing red and green shook his handkerchief and greeted the guests of all kinds with a spring breeze on his face. The car in front of the door is like flowing water, and the horse is like a dragon, which is a very busy scene.

There is a room on the second floor of the Yiqing Building, called "Yingchun Pavilion", which is the room of the most popular star fruit girl here. At this moment, a masked man in a night suit was seen kneeling on one knee in the room.

"Hall master, my subordinates have basically figured out the inner courtyard of the palace. But he had no choice but to be heavily guarded, and his subordinates never found a chance to start. ”

A bewitching woman sat at the table leisurely peeling lychees, wearing a jade flower-sprinkled crepe skirt that almost touched the ground, and only a pair of bright red embroidered shoes were revealed under the skirt. I saw her bring the peeled lychee to her mouth, smack it twice, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, slowly got up, walked to the man in black and said, "In the current situation in the capital, we have created an opportunity for you, haven't we?" The woman smiled slightly, paused, and continued, "Time is pressing. This time, you can only succeed, not fail! Otherwise...... You don't have to keep this life either. ”

The man in black trembled when he heard this, lowered his head and replied, "Yes!" Subordinates obey! ”

With that, he jumped out of the window and disappeared into the deep night. The woman leaned against the window and looked at it for a while, then straightened her hair, opened the door, and said in the most delicate voice: "Master Liu, you are here!" It's been so long, and the star fruit is almost going to kill you......"
