Chapter 689: The Terminally Ill Concubine Ling
When Chu Nian came to Concubine Ling's bedroom with Concubine Liang, who had changed her clothes, the main palace door of Concubine Ling's bedroom was closed, and there were two palace maids guarding the door, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and she couldn't see joy or anger.
Chu Nian furrowed his brows and watched Concubine Liang take a few steps forward, as if he was afraid of disturbing the silent atmosphere in front of him, "Is your mother awake now?" ”
The two palace maids glanced at each other, and when they saw Chu Nian behind Concubine Liang, they all nodded and said, "Niangniang said, if the county lord takes the initiative to come over, then he can only be invited in immediately." ”
After that, the two of them turned around and hurriedly opened the palace gate, Concubine Liang's face looked a little embarrassed, "My sister probably knows that I will definitely inform the county lord of her illness, so I will give such an order, my sister originally didn't want the county lord to know." ”
Chu Nian sighed lightly, "Concubine Ling is afraid that Mingqiao will know about this, so she will deliberately hide it from me, right?" Does Concubine Liang know what Imperial Doctor Ye said? ”
Concubine Liang's face was tangled, and there was a hint of sadness on her face, "Imperial Doctor Ye said that Sister Concubine Ling is suffering from a stubborn disease, because she found him very late, and the best time has been delayed, and I am afraid that time is running out now." ”
Chu Nian's brows tightened more and more, the two palace maids in front of this party had already led the two of them to the door of the dormitory, and the palace maid guarding the door saw that Chu Nian was obviously surprised, and was just about to turn around and enter the hall, but was stopped by Chu Nian, "Don't bother Concubine Lingniang, I'm just coming to see Concubine Ling's condition, don't disturb Niangniang." ”
When these words fell, the palace maid stood at the door at a loss, not knowing whether to enter the house to report, so she saw the concubine next to Chu Nian and said in a shallow voice: "There is no need to report, anyway, my sister knows that the county lord is coming, and she is powerless to ......."
At the mouth of the stall where he spoke, Chu Nian had already walked into the door, and the palace maid guarding the door opened her mouth slightly, and before she could stop it, she saw that Concubine Liang also followed in, seeing this, she had to shake her head helplessly, and followed in.
When he walked into the house, Chu Nian understood how bad Concubine Ling's state was, only to smell the strong smell of medicine in the house, and there were many palace maids who were busy on the side of the collapse, these palace maids had been with Concubine Ling for a long time, and now they looked at Concubine Ling who was angry in front of them.
There was a figure of Concubine Ling lying on the couch, Chu Nian twisted his eyebrows and stepped forward, and his pale face was twisting with difficulty.
Seeing Chu Nian, there seemed to be a glimmer of light in Concubine Ling's eyes, and after a while, she said intermittently in a hoarse voice: "County Lord...... Have a seat. ”
Chu Nian nodded, calmly sat on the chair on the side, Concubine Liang stepped forward to look at Concubine Ling's current state, and turned around to sit on the other side of Chu Nian with tears in her eyes.
Concubine Ling smiled weakly, and turned her gaze to Concubine Liang beside Chu Nian, "I knew that you would definitely not be able to hide it, so I was ready to wait for the county lord to come over." ”
Seeing the strange smile on Concubine Ling's face, Concubine Liang seemed to feel a little more and more guilty, she opened her mouth slightly, and before she could say anything, she was picked up by Chu Nian.
"Concubine Ling should have something to say to me, right?"
When these words fell, Concubine Liang turned her eyes to look at Chu Nian suspiciously, and then heard Concubine Ling's voice on the side say weakly: "It's hard to be the county lord, I originally planned to ask the county lord to run again later." ”
The atmosphere fell silent, Concubine Liang sensed something sensitively, immediately got up, nodded towards Chu Nian, and looked at Concubine Ling, who was pale on the couch, "Sister, I'll go back first, you talk, I won't bother you." ”
Concubine Ling's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded slowly
Nodding, Concubine Liang glanced at Chu Nian worriedly, and when she got Chu Nian's affirmative look, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
When Concubine Liang walked out, Concubine Ling looked at the palace maids standing in the four corners, and the palace maids saluted Chu Nian slightly one by one before turning around and leaving.
After waiting for the silence to be completely silent, Chu Nian took a few steps forward and sat on the edge of Concubine Ling's collapse.
Looking at Concubine Ling, who was so weak in front of her that it seemed that she needed strength to breathe, Chu Nian's eyes rose with a little pity, "When did Niangniang get sick?" ”
Concubine Ling coughed lightly twice, and then slowly sat up with Chu Nian's support, she looked up at Chu Nian with a little tiredness and said, "It's all stubborn diseases, and now it's been delayed for too long, Imperial Doctor Ye can't see it, and it's also a reason." ”
Chu Nian opened his mouth slightly, and saw Concubine Ling raise her eyes, and blurted out while Chu Nian's words: "Now that the county lord has taken care of Ming Qiao like this, I don't want to trouble the county lord again because of this little illness, and the county lord should not invite the adults of the Medicine King Valley under his command." ”
Chu Nian twisted his eyebrows, only to see Concubine Ling sigh again, "It's just a little sad, I can't see the day Qiao'er got married, and I also complain that God won't give me a few more days, if I can watch Qiao'er have someone to take care of for the rest of her life, it would be excellent." ”
"Don't give up so early." Chu Nian half-lowered his eyes and said with a slight flash: "Medicine King, they have been very idle recently, if Niangniang is willing, I can invite them over at any time." ”
She had heard about Concubine Ling's illness a long time ago, but Concubine Ling had always said that it was just the root of the disease left since childhood, and Imperial Doctor Ye could cure it, Chu Nian didn't alarm the Medicine King and them, if Ming Qiao knew the current state of Concubine Ling, the girl didn't know how long she would regret it.
During the most painful period of time for the concubine, Mingqiao, who was her daughter, was not around, and she would feel very guilty if she was anyone.
At this moment, Chu Nian is eyes flashed and looked at Concubine Ling in front of him, waiting for Concubine Ling's reply.
Concubine Ling seemed to be entangled, she opened her mouth slightly, "I am now dying, I don't know if I can live past tomorrow, if I can see Qiao'er, it is naturally the best, but I don't dare, if Qiao'er finds out that I look like this now......"
She opened her mouth slightly, and then saw Chu Nian frowning and said: "Let Concubine Niangniang think about it, if Mingqiao can't see Niangniang in the future, I'm afraid that I will live in guilt in the future, does Niangniang want to see Princess Mingqiao like this?" ”
Concubine Ling looked stunned for a moment, and then saw Chu Nian and said patiently: "And things are not completely irretrievable, Princess Mingqiao naturally hopes that her mother and concubine can watch her marry with her own eyes." ”
As soon as these words fell, he saw Concubine Ling's expression becoming more and more hesitant, Chu Nian took a deep breath, "Niangniang, rest, I will call someone to invite the god of medicine to come over, there is still hope for everything." ”
When these words fell, regardless of Concubine Ling, who was still open to say something behind her, Chu Nian had already walked to the door, and Concubine Ling sat in place, looking at Chu Nian's back, there seemed to be a glimmer of light in her eyes.
"Then ...... Thank you, Lord Shire. ”
As Chu Nian expected, when he learned that Concubine Ling had been merged, Ming Qiao was suddenly so anxious, and with Ming Qiao's relationship, Chu Nian's desire to invite the God of Medicine to enter the palace to treat Concubine Ling's illness was also easily agreed to by the God of Medicine.
After sending Ming Qiao and the god of medicine to Concubine Ling's bedroom, Chu Nian returned to the prince's palace.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the prince's hall was still strong, and the sunset in the evening fell on Ming Xiu's body, and Ming Xiu sat in the pavilion holding a tea cup in a daze, unaware of it.
It wasn't until Chu Nian walked in that he saw the sleepy Tao Jinyan take the lead in reacting, "You're back?" How is Concubine Ling? ”
Chu Nian shook his head at him, didn't speak, and turned his gaze to Ming Xiu, who was silent, and his face was full of irrelevance.
"What's going on? What's going on again? ”
Ming Xiu glanced at Chu Nian sideways, and then withdrew his gaze, and after a while, he saw Tao Jinyan on the side and couldn't help but speak: "That kid named Huang Yi ran away." ”
Chu Nian frowned, and Fang saw Ming Xiu speak: "Master Fang Cai said that the matter has not been completely resolved, so he went to the dungeon for a while, and found that Huang Yi was missing, but the guards present were unaware. ”
Chu Nian sniffed out a trace of unusual charm from it, she twisted her brows slightly, and then spoke again: "I have searched all over the palace, and there is no trace of Huang Yi?" ”
Ming Xiu shook his head silently, and at this time, he saw Fu Mi suddenly speak: "The poor monk remembers that I heard before that Princess Mingyue went to live in our Qingshan Temple because of his affairs, right?" ”
Chu Nian nodded slowly, and suddenly remembered something: "Has Mingyue returned to the palace recently?" ”
When these words fell, Ming Xiu stood up suddenly, and when his eyes met Chu Nian's, he saw a trace of worry in the other party's eyes.
saw Ming Xiu take the lead in walking towards the outside of the hall, and Tao Jinyan and Fu Mi behind him hesitated for a while, and followed suit.
The group came all the way to the front of the Liang Concubine Palace, only to see that the Liang Concubine was coming out, and bumped into Chu Nian and the others, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the county lord, you are ...... menacing"
Earlier, because of the Queen Mother's slander, Concubine Liang was still a little afraid, for fear that Chu Nian and the crown prince Ming Xiu would believe the Queen Mother's slander and doubt her, but now she saw Ming Xiu and Chu Nian coming towards her hall with serious faces, still showing a little panic on their faces.
Chu Nian probably guessed what she was thinking, shook her head helplessly, smiled slightly at Concubine Liang and asked Concubine Liang to feel at ease, and then said: "It's okay, I just heard that I will return to the palace in the next month, so let's take a look, where is Niangniang going." ”
Look at the bright moon...... Concubine Liang looked at the prince Ming Xiu and Chu Nian in front of her suspiciously, Mingyue returned to the palace earlier, Ming Xiu had known it for a long time, she hadn't come to see it for so long, but now she was aggressive...... Seeing Chu Nian's kind face, she was a little relieved, and then said, "I was about to go to see Sister Ling, I heard that earlier, the county lord had invited the God of Medicine and Princess Mingqiao back to the palace?" On my side, I would like to thank the county lord for my sister's kindness. ”
Concubine Liang sincerely saluted Chu Nian, and Chu Nian stretched out her hand to support her, "No need, if Concubine Liang wants to visit Concubine Ling, then it would be better to go earlier, and now Concubine Ling needs someone to accompany her." ”
Seeing this, Concubine Liang nodded slightly, and this party saluted Ming Xiu, "Then the concubine will ......"
Ming Xiu waved his hand and took the lead in walking towards Mingyue's palace, Concubine Liang's face was stunned, and her eyes turned to Chu Nian suspiciously, and she was a little relieved to see Chu Nian's reassuring smile.
It wasn't until she saw the backs of Ming Xiu and the others that Concubine Liang stood in place, and said with a puzzled look: "Although I don't know what it is...... But I think the county lord and my Yue'er are also friends, even if Yue'er does something else, it won't be anything, right? ”
Thinking of this, she retracted her gaze and shook her head helplessly, "I'm still worried about Sister Ling, now the relationship between Mingyue and Chu Nian is much better than ours." ”
