After two days of such peace, Lin Xiaomiao knew that she couldn't go to Duanmuheng's appointment, she was locked up in this sandalwood garden and couldn't get out, and she could only count the flowers in the yard boringly these days.

Duanmu Heng found out that she didn't go to the appointment, and her face must be blue with anger! Lin Xiaomiao thought so and let out a long sigh.

Ping'er and Chu Lan were not as depressed as Lin Xiaomiao, and the two of them were asking Lin Xiaomiao what new dishes they had every day.

Lin Xiaomiao is going to cook that pigeon today.

There has been no Jinyu in the past few days, and the wound on her back has scabbed over, and the fever has subsided, which means that it is only a matter of time before her injury is completely healed.

She searched for this recipe in her head, and there were many ways to make this pigeon, such as stir-fried pigeons, braised pigeons, wheat pigeons, tea pigeons, pigeon soup, and so on.

But after eating the original meat for so many days, Lin Xiaomiao always felt that there was no taste in her mouth, although her wounds were not completely healed, and she couldn't eat too much salt, and there was no material in this sandalwood garden, so she was a little worried.

And before she could think of what to do, suddenly the door outside was kicked open.

Lin Xiaomiao's body was inconvenient, so Chu Lan and Ping'er poked their heads out to look, and saw a person they hadn't seen for a long time - Jinyu.

She held the shelf and walked in slowly, followed by the purple smoke holding Lian'er.

Ping'er and Chu Lan didn't tell Lin Xiaomiao about Lian'er, and Lin Xiaomiao saw everything in the yard through the window, and was a little puzzled. She only knew that Lian'er was Jinyu's girl, and she didn't know that Lian'er had quietly sent her something a few days ago, so Lin Xiaomiao's face was a little strange.

Did this Jinyu escort her own people to her?

And Ping'er and Chu Lan's faces turned white, knowing that Lian'er had been discovered.

Lin Xiaomiao didn't bother to look at it again, so she simply drilled into the quilt and pretended to be asleep, she didn't want to face Jinyu, who knew what new way she would toss people, Lin Xiaomiao naturally hid if she could.

"Where's the concubine?" Jinyu's voice did not have a trace of emotion, and her cold eyes shot at Ping'er and Chu Lan, and the two of them were startled, and immediately left the bedroom and closed the door.

Ping'er and Chu Lan's hearts were chuckling, and the two quietly looked at Lian'er behind Jinyu, her face seemed to have been swollen, and the clothes on her body were already stained with blood, which was obviously tortured.

"The mother just stopped." The two of them saluted Jinyu, and then spoke, and the two pairs of eyes quietly glanced at each other, and both read the same message from each other's swollen eyes.

The princess and concubine are not good!

"Oh? Sleeping? Jinyu's eyes narrowed, obviously not believing what the two said, but she was not in a hurry, because Jinyu knew that Lin Xiaomiao cared about her two personal girls very much.

"It's okay to sleep, then let's take the two of you under the knife." Ziyan behind her brought a chair to Jinyu, she tidied up her skirt, and sat on the chair, the whole person had a noble temperament, but the words she said made Ping'er and Chu Lan both creepy, and both of them had goosebumps, and watched in horror as several grandmothers approached.

Ziyan naturally served a cup of tea to Jinyu, and then stood aside silently, looking at everything in the courtyard coldly.

"Do you know why I punished you today?"

Seeing Chu Lan and Ping'er trembling with fear, Jinyu felt very proud in her heart, and her voice rose a little.

The two neither shook their heads nor nodded, Jinyu guessed that they already knew, but they still had to say it: "I have already given a strict order, the side concubine's health is not good, don't send food to Tanyuan, I didn't expect that this is difficult to prevent thieves!" My own girls dare to openly disobey my orders. ”

As she spoke, the girl behind her pushed Lian'er in front of Ping'er and Chu Lan.

"And you shamelessly took what she gave, do you think I should punish you."

Lian'er was injured, and blood came out of her mouth, and she didn't think she would live long.

"The Prince...... Concubine Niangniang...... This matter was done by the slave maid alone, Ping'er and Chu Lan...... didn't know that it was the slave who lied in the name of the mother to send things...... gave it to the side concubine, and the two of them accepted it. ”

Lian'er vomited blood as she spoke, Ping'er and Chu Lan couldn't bear it after all, but they still rushed forward to support her, after all, this kindness in the snow is really rare.

"Lian'er, don't say it, don't say it." Chu Lan wanted to wipe off the blood for her, but the blood rubbed more and more, until the handkerchief became blood-red, and Lian'er's blood still didn't stop.

"Princess! Don't go too far! This girl has become like this, what do you want? Lin Xiaomiao, who was a turtle with a shrunken head on the bed, knew the whole story, so she supported her body and opened the door.

"Yun Tao? I thought you were going to be a shrinking turtle for the rest of your life, this girl is my girl, I want to punish how I want, you have a good look at the fate of this girl, if you don't want your girl to become like this, then obediently continue to be your shrinking turtle, serve me well, otherwise, you two watery girls, I don't know what will become. Jinyu let out a cruel remark, and then flicked her sleeves and left.

She didn't even give Lian'er a glance on the ground, as if she just felt like a garbage that could be discarded at any time.

And when Jinyu left, Lin Xiaomiao endured the pain and limped in front of Lian'er.

"Side Concubine Niangniang...... The slave and maid are finally ...... I see you, Lord Four...... Let the slave deliver you a letter. I thought it would be like ...... again Ahem...... I came in quietly like that last time, but I was discovered by the princess...... I have no choice but to meet you in this way......" Lian'er coughed very badly.

When a person was about to die, her eyes became bold, and she looked directly at the three people in front of her. She is the eyeliner cultivated by Duanmu Heng, after all, Duanmu Heng is the prince, and there are always some eyeliners placed in various princes and nobles, this Lian'er is one of them, she has been trained since she was a child, but she didn't expect it to be folded here.

Chu Lan had a clear look in her eyes, she had already guessed that Lian'er was Duanmu Heng's person, but Ping'er beside her didn't know, and she looked surprised. She took out a well-preserved letter and a small bag of things from her arms and stuffed them into Lin Xiaomiao's arms, and then smiled as if she had completed some great task, and then closed her eyes.

As soon as Chu Lan and Ping'er touched their breath, they had already gone...... I was sad for a while.

Although several people and Lian'er were only three sides of the relationship, because of helping them, Ping'er lost her life. Chu Lan and Ping'er both made bitter noises, while Lin Xiaomiao looked at Lian'er's corpse in front of her with a face full of disbelief.

The letter and cloth bag in her hand still had a little residual warmth, but the person in front of her actually went like this? Lin Xiaomiao threw herself beside Lian'er, and she didn't care about the pain in her body, she frantically pressed Lian'er's chest and gave her cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but there was no reaction, Lian'er had really gone.

Lin Xiaomiao still couldn't believe that a person had died in front of her!

She was almost crazy about using the modern first aid knowledge in her head to save Lian'er, but to no avail. Lian'er's breathing never returned.

The robe she had draped over her shoulders fell to the ground, stained with Lian'er's blood, and she stared blankly at Lian'er's closed eyes and the wounds on her body.

Lin Xiaomiao remembered what Fang Cai Jinyu said again.

If she doesn't obey, she will let Ping'er and Chu Lan end up like this, and her heart will be confused for a while, Lian'er, a person who has met her a few times, still makes her so sad, if Ping'er and Chu Lan also suffer like this, what will happen to her?

Can't even these two henchmen be left to her?

Lin Xiaomiao's hand clenched the letter, her eyes were empty, and she came back to her senses for a long time and opened the letter.

On it is Duanmu Heng's delicate handwriting: This king already knows your injury, so he doesn't care about your broken appointment, I will send you medicine every three or five times, you can recuperate with peace of mind, remember to swallow your anger, and when you are cured, you can leave the palace.

Eat humble pie......

Lin Xiaomiao stared at these four words for a long time, then laughed at herself, got up and walked back to the bedroom.

"Go back, Chu Lan, let the people outside take Lian'er's body away, stuff some money and bury it properly." Chu Lan and Ping'er were still crying, but Lin Xiaomiao had already closed the door of the bedroom, and she couldn't support her body.

That kind of scene was too exciting for her, she couldn't accept it for a while, after coming here, this was the first time she had seen a dead person, or a person who helped her, so she swallowed in front of her, and at the last moment she even had such a regretless smile.

This made Lin Xiaomiao very touched and thought deeply.

Is it worth it?

Gave his life for the sake of another person.

Lin Xiaomiao then understood that her current identity is a side concubine, and any action can affect the people around her, if she is not cautious in her words and deeds, not only Ping'er and Chu Lan, but even other people who help her will be affected.

Her lips trembled, unable to bear the reality, and she hid her face and began to cry.

Chu Lan and Ping'er heard the movement inside, but no one went in, Chu Lan knocked on the door of the Danyuan, and Li Yu outside seemed to have been waiting for a long time, full of worry.

"Are you alright?" Li Yu looked at Chu Lan with tears and asked with concern.

Chu Lan touched the corners of her eyes and shook her head: "Lian'er will ask you." She let out the way, Li Yu had already heard the movement inside, and naturally knew that this Lian'er was dead, nodding, Chu Lan took off a purse from her waist, which contained some silver.

Li Yu pushed back without answering: "I will bury her well, don't worry." ”

Chu Lan refused to admit this, after all, she and Li Yu hadn't met a few times, how could she trouble him so much?
