Chapter 147: To add insult to injury

When Lingxi entered the cold palace, he gritted his teeth and held on, relying on the only remaining will in his heart to make himself strong.

She took the lotus leaves to clean the well, and then took the lotus leaves to dismantle the main hall, and simply repaired the east side hall, which can be regarded as sheltering from the wind and rain.

After repairing the house, she took lotus leaves to the outside of the Tongxin Hall to cut a lot of weeds, and after drying them, they were all transported back to the West Wing Hall for warmth in winter.

After filling the west side hall, Lingxi began to wash the clothes for the winter again.

She didn't want to stop.

She was afraid that if she stopped, she would fall, and when she fell, she would never be able to get up again.

Lotus Ye looked at the strong Lingxi, and felt uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to persuade her, so she could only let the Lingxi toss.

Lingxi carried the few clothes they brought in to the courtyard, and said to the lotus leaf while picking and inspecting them, "Thanks to you for picking out the shabby clothes, if you take eighty percent of the new clothes, you won't be robbed by that evil grandmother." ”

"The slave was also reminded by the smoke, otherwise she would have taken a new one." The lotus leaf took a worn-out one, put it in a wooden basin that could still be used, and went to the well to fetch half a basin of clean water and brought it back. Then squatted next to Lingxi, cautiously, and persuaded Lingxi in a different way, "Niangniang, do you want to wash all these clothes?" If it's all dismantled and washed, I'm afraid we won't have enough needles and threads to bring in......"

Lingxi was busy with his hands, looked up and replied, "Yes." We can't always exchange jewelry with those two palace maids, otherwise they will become a bottomless pit that can't be fed. ”

Seeing that Lingxi's mouth was loose, Lotus Ye hurriedly picked up the clothes that were not dirty and sent them back to the side hall. After coming out, he said, "Niangniang, I went out to look for a wooden pot yesterday, and found that there were many different kinds of small flowers blooming in the small garden of this cold palace, as well as wild chrysanthemums blooming. Why don't slaves and maids use some to plant in the yard? ”

Lingxi shook his head, "Flowers can't be eaten, we should bring some rapeseed in when we come in, plough two pieces of land and plant them, and there will be green vegetables to eat." ”

"The slave and maid will turn over the ground with a knife in a few moments. When you go to get your rations in the evening, ask if there are any seeds that you can plant. ”

Lingxi hummed unconsciously, sat on the ground and looked at the ruins in front of him and stopped talking.

Seeing that Lingxi was silent, Lotus Ye sat beside Lingxi and removed the stitches from the clothes that Lingxi picked out. Among them was a worn jacket that had been carefully sewn into broken silver and small pieces of jewelry by Smoke.

Lotus Ye held a hairpin for fixing hair in his hand, and while picking the thread on the jacket, he said to Lingxi without words, "Hanyan is a careful person, if these things are not sewn into this inconspicuous jacket, they must have been cleaned up by the evil grandmother." ”

The spirit rhino is also an unconscious one.

The lotus leaf picked out all the fine pieces of silver in the jacket and put it on the handkerchief beside him, which was as many as two taels. He also found three pairs of earrings and two rings from the jacket.

"Niangniang, look," Lotus Ye took out a pair of mutton fat jade earrings and put them on Lingxi's ears, "If only there were a few beaded flowers." ”

The fine mutton fat jade was cool, touching the cheeks of the lingxi. Lingxi touched the earring on his right ear with his hand, smiled and said to the lotus leaf, "According to what you say, if there is a jade hairpin, wouldn't it be better to have a dripping water step?" ”

"Click~"

A crisp sound answered Lingxi's words instead of lotus leaves.

Lingxi raised his eyes to look and saw that Lotus Ye took out a jade-faced drum half the size of a palm from the torn jacket......

Lotus Ye was stunned when she looked at the small drum, and she hurriedly turned back to look at the Lingxi. I saw Lingxi staring at the small drum, and a pair of beautiful eyes had already looked straight.

Lingxi stretched out his right hand, which was no longer delicate after a few days of heavy work, and took the jade-faced small drum in his hand.

With a slight twist of the thumb and forefinger, the snare drum immediately sounded with a crisp and rhythmic sound.

The sound of the drum plucked the heartstrings of Lingxi Sizi, and the sound of the drum made the last will in Lingxi's heart collapse.

Tears slid down Lingxi's eyes and fell on the less gorgeous placket of her chest......

Lotus Ye couldn't hold back her tears when she heard the sound of the drum, and covered her mouth and tried not to cry.

In the autumn wind, Lingxi sat in the courtyard of the cold palace, holding the small drum and crying bitterly......

After crying, the spirit became ill.

She was lying on a bed with several layers of straw and two layers of bedding, with a high fever, her throat so swollen that she couldn't speak, and she couldn't swallow a drop of water.

The lotus leaf sat on the edge of the bed, dipped it in warm water with a clean handkerchief, and moistened the bloodless lips of the rhinoceros, which were already chapped.

Every time she touched it, Lingxi frowned and moaned unconsciously.

Lotus Ye looked distressed, and several times she went to ask Mama Liu for medicine to cure high fever, but Mama Liu came back.

In Mama Liu's words, when you enter the cold palace, life and death are fateful.

In the end, Lotus Ye could only take a jade earring and buy off the palace maid named Biyun who distributed rations to them on weekdays. Biyun thought about putting together a pair of jade earrings, so she brought in hot inferior herbs from outside the cold palace.

With this inferior herb, Lingxi's disease finally improved under the careful care of lotus leaves. Five days later, Lingxi's body temperature returned to normal, and her throat was able to swallow something.

Lotus Ye was happy, and after feeding Lingxi and drinking the last herb, she went to Biyun again. She estimated in her heart that as long as there were three more pairs of herbs to consolidate, Lingxi's body would be completely healthy.

But who knew that as soon as Lotus Ye walked out of the Tongxin Palace, she saw that the palace maid named Ruiyun beside Mama Liu was carrying a lot of things in the direction of the Tongxin Palace.

On the overgrown path, Ruiyun waved the mosquitoes and flies around her with her hand as she walked, with a look of disgust. He frowned tightly, and muttered something in his mouth.

Because she is more popular in front of Mama Liu, Ruiyun has rarely sent things to the cold palace. On weekdays, all this kind of dirty work and hard work is pushed to Biyun to do, otherwise Lotus Leaf will not easily buy Biyun.

As soon as Rui Yun raised his head, he saw the lotus leaf standing at the gate of the Tongxin Hall from a distance, so he frowned and shouted, "When you see me coming, don't you come to pick me up?" I am grateful to have come all the way to deliver medicine and food to you. ”

Lotus Ye despised Ruiyun's arrogance in her heart, but she still stepped forward and brought the delicate food box and two pairs of herbs in Ruiyun's hand into her hand, and asked out loud, "How did Miss Ruiyun get the time to go inside today?" ”

Most of the people in the cold palace are former masters and mothers, and no one will be too courteous to a little palace maid in the cold palace with their own identity. The girl of the lotus leaf really made Ruiyun feel useful in her heart.

So Rui Yun raised her head and raised her eyebrows and said, "It's not that Mama Liu has you in mind, I heard that one of them is still sick, so she asked me to bring some food to nourish my body and herbs to take a look." As he spoke, he stared at the lotus leaf with wide eyes, and said, "This has cost us a lot of silver, and the palace maid of the cold palace can have a few months, and all the money of me and my grandmother is here." ”

Lotus Ye showed a trace of shame on her face, lowered her head and muttered, "It's really embarrassing to let Mama and the girl break the bank." ”

Rui Yun stood at the door of the Tongxin Hall and asked in a sharp voice, "That's it?" ”

Lotus Ye seemed to have just reacted, and hurriedly said, "Girl, I still have a bead flower that I used to wear, and Miss Ruoruiyun doesn't dislike it......"

"That's pretty much it." Rui Yun snorted coldly in his nose and raised his feet into the Tongxin Hall.

Because she rarely came to the Tongxin Palace, she couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw the clean courtyard at this time, and said, "You guys are neat, this courtyard is really good for people to live in." ”

Lotus Ye smiled and led Ruiyun to the east side hall. After finding the pearl flower, he said to Ruiyun, "I'm tired of my mother and the girl are thinking about here, and my young lady is still sick inside......"

Because Lingxi was deposed, Lotus Leaf only called Lingxi a young lady in front of Mama Liu and the palace maid, and only when no one was around, would Lingxi be called a mother. Lingxi once asked the lotus leaf to change the name in private, but in the past few years, the lotus leaf has been used to being called, but it can't be changed.

Rui Yun greedily snatched the beaded flower, and said in a loud voice, "I know, I know, you quickly take out the contents of the food box, and I have to take the food box back." ”

Lotus Ye hurriedly opened the food box with three layers of upper and lower layers, took out a roast duck from the top layer, brought out a meat and a vegetarian dish from the middle layer, and brought out a cup of ginseng chicken soup that was still warm and floated with a few wolfberries on the bottom layer.

When Rui Yun saw the roast duck on the shabby table, she immediately widened her eyes, and saliva swirled in her mouth.

Seeing this, Lotus Ye hurriedly pulled off the two thighs of the roast duck and handed them to Rui Yun, and said, "Girl, my young lady and I have a small amount of food, and we can't eat so much, and we have to bother the girl to help, otherwise it will waste the good intentions of the girl and the grandmother if it is spoiled there." ”

Ruiyun didn't refuse, took the lotus leaf handkerchief and wrapped one duck leg, put the other in his mouth, and walked away with the food box.

It wasn't until Rui Yun's figure walked out of the Tongxin Hall that Lotus Ye cursed viciously.

Lotus Ye carefully put away the dish and the roast, and put the chicken soup in the pot and heated it through the water.

When Lingxi woke up, Lotus Ye hurriedly brought the chicken soup to Lingxi's bed, and said with a smile, "Niangniang, drink two mouthfuls of chicken soup, you haven't eaten for several days." ”

Lingxi smelled the aroma of the chicken soup, and the hunger in his stomach was hooked. She propped herself up and said weakly to Lotus Ye, "How did you get Biyun to get this chicken soup?" ”

Lotus Ye used a spoon to cool the chicken soup, and said with doubts in her eyes, "Niangniang, the slave maid is trying to tell you." This chicken soup was sent by Mama Liu's life, Mama Liu is such a stingy person on weekdays, the slave begged several times and couldn't ask for antipyretic medicine, why did she suddenly send chicken soup and side dishes? ”

"Abnormality is a demon." Lingxi asked Lotus Leaf to put down the chicken soup and said, "You go and bring in all those things, let's take a good look." ”
