Chapter 153: The Only Wife

It turned out that from the moment Princess Leyi came in with a body of anger, Shui Qingqing understood that she was here to find trouble for herself. But instead of hiding, she thought that maybe she could use Le Yi to summon Lu Lin to Jingren Palace to meet.

After this idea was settled in her heart, she went against the norm and began to face Princess Leyi's anger, openly provoking the willful and rude Princess Leyi, and finally provoked Princess Leyi to hurt her......

Although the purple sand teapot that Princess Leyi smashed at Shui Qingqing was not big, it was filled with a full pot of tea, and Princess Le Yi used all her strength in anger to suddenly hit Shui Qingqing's forehead, but it made her skin open and bleed, and her brain was also ringing, her eyes were dizzy, and her body couldn't stop falling to the ground.

Fortunately, the tea in the teapot had been left for some time, and although it was still hot, it was not enough to burn Shui Qingqing's skin, but only burned the skin on her face.

But this bitterness was found by Shui Qingqing herself, even if the blood flowing from her forehead blocked her eyes, she couldn't feel any pain at all-

As long as he can see Lu Lin smoothly, hand over the silk handkerchief to him, and let him have a way to save Emperor Jin Ming, so that Mei Zijin's plan can succeed, save the nameless Liu Yin, and even save Mei Zijin and the entire Hou Mansion from disaster, even if she is allowed to die, she is willing to ......

In this way, even if her mind was smashed into a drowsiness, she still looked at the palace door with bright eyes, hoping that Liuli would bring Lu Lin back.

And Princess Leyi, who smashed Shui Qingqing's forehead to bleed in anger, finally woke up from her anger when she saw the blood coming out of Shui Qingqing's forehead, and stood aside in fear and didn't know what to do.

Xiaoxi didn't know that all this was deliberately arranged by Shui Qingqing, but when she saw her being smashed like this, she cried sadly.

The other palace people also helped Shui Qingqing to the couch under the command of Concubine Xian, stopped the bleeding for her in a panic, and found clean clothes for her to change into. Suddenly, the entire side hall of Jingren Palace was in a hurry and noisy.

After a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, but it was Liuli who came with the imperial doctor from the Tai Hospital.

Concubine Xian saw Lu Lin who was following behind the imperial doctor and helping to carry the medicine box at a glance, her heart was suddenly relieved, and she hurriedly stepped forward and said to Le Yi, who was standing aside, "The fifth princess will go back first...... Things are like this, presumably the princess and the county lord are angry in their hearts, and it is better for the two to avoid it. On the county lord's side, the palace will be properly appeased, hoping not to make a big deal out of it. ”

After smashing Shui Qingqing, although Le Yi was relieved, she thought that she had finally caused a disaster, and then thought of Emperor Jin Ming and Mei Zijin's love for her, she was still scared, and she blushed and bluffed: "This princess is not afraid, even if her father knows in the future, she will be the first to contradict and disobey this princess...... This princess wanted to smash her, but she also blamed herself for not moving like a wooden stake, and she didn't hide for a while, who is to blame...... Anyway, this princess and her are natural enemies - with me without her, with her without me! ”

Concubine Xian didn't have the time and mood to discuss these advantages and disadvantages with her at this time, so she couldn't help coaxing her with kind words, and finally invited her away.

As soon as Princess Leyi left, Concubine Xian Niangniang sent the palace people in the palace back on the pretext that the imperial doctor wanted to help the county lord see a doctor, leaving only Xiaoxi and Liuli to wait in the palace, and strictly ordered the palace people not to spread today's events, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the princess and the county lord......

After everyone retreated, Imperial Doctor Liu and Lu Lin from the Tai Hospital hurriedly stepped forward to help Shui Qingqing inspect the wound.

Lu Lin looked at Shui Qingqing's forehead being smashed, and he didn't care about the presence of the virtuous concubines, and said angrily: "The county lord usually looks like a very clever person, why can't people smash you and hide it?" If you abolish your appearance, Zijin is only afraid of ......"

Speaking of this, he realized that there were other people around him, and hurriedly closed his mouth, and helped Shui Qingqing to bandage his wound seriously.

Finally seeing Lu Lin, Shui Qingqing felt very cordial, and she didn't care that she was still dizzy in her head, and smiled at Lu Lin: "With you, what ......are you afraid of this little injury?"

was praised by Shui Qingqing in public, Lu Lin felt useful, but his face became shy, so he said angrily: "You, like Zijin, are used to coaxing me with nice words, but in fact, you just want me to work for you." Look at Zijin, coaxed me to the palace, saying that the elixir and jade liquid are enough, but after I entered the palace, don't say that the elixir and jade liquid, I can't even drink a glass of water and wine, I am really thirsty......"

Shui Qingqing knew that Lu Lin was addicted to alcohol, and let him stay in the palace every day and not let him drink, which was really embarrassing for him, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "When things are done, what Hou Ye promised you will definitely honor for you." ”

Speaking of what Mei Zijin explained to him, Lu Lin was unconsciously worried, and after bandaging Shui Qingqing's wounds, he twisted his eyebrows and said, "It's not that I don't want to do it, but I don't have a chance at all." If you don't believe it, you ask Imperial Doctor Liu, we can't enter the gate of the Qianqing Palace, so how can I see a doctor for the emperor? ”

Imperial Physician Liu is the person of the fourth prince Li Xuan, so he asked Lu Lin to follow him as an apprentice and let him cover Lu Lin.

Hearing Lu Lin's words, the upright Imperial Physician Liu hurriedly stepped forward and said in a panic: "Divine Doctor Lu is right, except for the prince's people in the Qianqing Palace, other imperial doctors can't set foot at all, and even the medical cases and prescriptions brought back by those imperial doctors, we didn't find any problems, and it is estimated that they have all been manipulated." ”

After that, Imperial Physician Liu knelt down in front of Concubine Xian and Shui Qingqing in a panic, and said guiltily: "Weichen is ashamed of the entrustment of His Royal Highness and Niangniang, and asks Niangniang to punish him!" ”

Concubine Xian personally stepped forward to help him get up, and sighed: "Doctor Liu is serious. The Tai Hospital has long been under the control of the former queen and the crown prince, and it is really difficult for you to shake it with your strength. Moreover, what the prince did was a great crime of disobedience and murder, and they wanted to keep it secret like an iron bucket, so this matter is extremely difficult to handle, how can we blame you. And you can always cover Doctor Lu from being discovered, which is already a great achievement. ”

After Concubine Xian finished speaking, she looked at Shui Qingqing with her eyes eagerly, suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked, "The county lord does not hesitate to provoke the fifth princess to smash his brain, but what do you find in the Qianqing Palace today to tell Doctor Lu?" ”

Concubine Xian is smart in the end, from the moment Shui Qingqing came to her, she already guessed from the eagerness in her expression that she must have discovered something when she went to the Qianqing Palace before.

However, without waiting for Shui Qingqing to talk to her in detail, Princess Le Yi broke in and disturbed the conversation between the two.

After that, Shui Qingqing used a bitter trick to summon Lu Lin, which made Concubine Xian's heart even more excited, she knew that Shui Qingqing must have gained something in the Qianqing Palace today.

Sure enough, hearing her question, Shui Qingqing sat up and took out a piece of silk cloth from her body, opened the outer layer, handed the snow-white silk cloth inside to Lu Lin, and said in a deep voice: "This is what I got from the Qianqing Palace today, and it is the stain of the medicine they gave the emperor to take...... It's a pity that I only need to take a silk cloth and dip some medicine stains back, I don't know if it will help you? ”

Hearing this, Lu Lin's eyes lit up, and he immediately unfolded the silk cloth and carefully smelled the medicinal smell on it, and his eyebrows and eyes gradually relaxed.

Seeing this, Concubine Xian's heart was relieved, and she couldn't help but step forward and pull Shui Qingqing's hand and praised: "The county lord is really blue-hearted and exquisite, even such a small thing has been discovered by the county lord, which is really admirable to this palace!" ”

Shui Qingqing blushed embarrassedly, and said softly: "Don't praise me first, I don't know if these few medicinal stains have any effect...... I really can't help it, after all, the defense of the Qianqing Palace is too strict......"

While the two were talking, Lu Lin was already smelling the faint smell of herbs left on the silk handkerchief, and reported the names of the medicines one by one, and Imperial Doctor Liu next to him hurriedly picked up a pen and wrote it down carefully.

Lu Lin's name as a miracle doctor is indeed not in vain, just based on the smell and color left by a few drops of medicinal stains on the silk handkerchief, he has already guessed the prescription contained in the medicinal stains.

Looking at the list of medicines listed by Imperial Physician Liu, Lu Lin followed the list of medicines, and then contacted the medical case of Emperor Jin Ming's illness that he had seen before, and his heart was already clear.

But he was still not at ease, so he asked Xiaoxi to bring a small cup of water, soak the medicinal stains on the silk handkerchief in the water, and then take it up and taste it carefully, not letting go of any of the medicinal herbs in the noodles......

In this way, after Lu Lin's careful and cautious inspection, he finally concluded his guess......

In the process of Lu Lin's drug investigation, Shui Qingqing kept staring at him with bated breath, hoping that Lu Lin would succeed.

In the end, when she saw Lu Lin's solemn expression suddenly relaxed, revealing his usual confident smile, Shui Qingqing's high heart finally fell steadily.

She knew that Lu Lin had succeeded......

She's also a big step closer to success......

"Lu Lin, what's wrong?"

Holding back the excitement in her heart, Shui Qingqing asked cautiously.

Lu Lin's eyes fell on the medicine list, smiled confidently, and then said disdainfully: "It's just a small skill of carving insects - it's much worse than the prescription that Wang Zhongren prescribed to you before." I can break it with a patch of medicine and wake up the emperor. ”

Hearing this, she was overjoyed, and before Shui Qingqing could speak, the virtuous concubine on the side was already overjoyed and said: "Great, in this way, the emperor is saved, and we are all saved...... Doctor Lu quickly prescribes a prescription, and the palace personally helps His Majesty boil medicine. ”

After listening to Concubine Xian's words, Shui Qingqing's heart was also much more relaxed, but then, she thought of another problem - how to make Emperor Jin Ming take the medicine prescribed by Lu Lin? !

Just by getting these few drops of medicine stains, Shui Qingqing was already taking a great risk, and it was precisely when she happened to meet the chamberlain who was feeding the medicine to Emperor Jin Ming that she had a chance to succeed.

And if you want to send the antidote to the Qianqing Palace for Emperor Jin Ming to take, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than heaven......

She looked at the excited Concubine Niangniang, and couldn't help but pour cold water and said: "Now that the antidote is available, but Niangniang, what method do we want to use to send the antidote to the Qianqing Palace and give it to the emperor?" ”

As soon as these words came out, it really poured cold water on Concubine Xian's head, making her heart that had just rejoiced extinguished again.

"Yes, don't talk about delivering medicine, it's hard to enter the Qianqing Palace if you want to......"

Concubine Xian stroked her forehead with a headache, sat down at the table at a loss, and fell into sorrow again.

Shui Qingqing got up from the couch and said with difficulty: "Don't worry, Niangniang, now that the medicine to save the emperor is available, we are one step closer to success, and then think about it, there will definitely be a way to send the medicine to the Qianqing Palace for the emperor to take." ”

After that, he said: "I'll go back to Liangfeng Tai first, stay here for too long, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the prince's people." After Lu Lin handed over the prescription to Niangniang, he immediately found an opportunity to leave the palace, I am afraid that today's incident will arouse the suspicion of the prince, and he will find out about you......"

After listening to her words, everyone's faces were solemn, and they cheered up and got busy.

Concubine Xian asked Imperial Physician Liu to find an excuse to immediately 'kick' Lu Lin out of the Imperial Hospital. sent Liuli and Xiaoxi to send Shui Qingqing back again.

She herself carefully collected the prescription, and then asked her cronies to go outside the palace to buy the medicinal materials needed for the prescription, and make all the preparations......

And sure enough, as Shui Qingqing expected, since she entered the palace, Li You has been very sensitive to her every move, for fear that she would disrupt his plans, so after learning that Jingren Palace had an accident, Li You also became suspicious, and hurriedly rushed to Jingren Palace in the name of concern.

Fortunately, before he arrived, Imperial Physician Liu and Lu Lin had already left one step forward.

Shui Qingqing's forehead was wrapped with gauze and she was supported by Xiaoxi and Liuli to the gate of the palace, but she collided head-on with Li You, who came in a hurry.

Li You was followed by Princess Leyi, who looked unhappy and gloomy.

Li You's eyes looked at the wound on her forehead with cold and blank eyes, but his tone was concerned: "County Lord, what's wrong?" Wasn't it okay when you were in the Qianqing Palace before? How did it become like this in the blink of an eye?! ”

Facing Li You's questioning, Shui Qingqing smiled faintly and said indifferently: "Thank you for your concern, it's just a small accident, and it's okay now." ”

"Accident?!"

Li You doesn't think so. He sneered: "It's really strange, every time the county lord enters the palace, something happens, whether it was an accident or the county lord's intention, but the palace can't understand it." ”

Listening to Li You's words, Xiaoxi couldn't help but open her mouth to refute, but was stopped by Shui Qingqing, she frowned and said coldly: "Does the prince have anything else?" If not, I'd like to go back and rest first......"

"Wait!"

Shui Qingqing, who was dazed, crossed Li You and was about to leave, but she was stopped by Li You.

Li You stopped in front of her again, raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and sneered: "The dispute between you and the Fifth Emperor Sister has been heard in this palace, since you are in dispute because of the date of Le Yi's marriage, this palace, as her brother, of course has to solve this matter for her, so this palace is in charge for her, and it is set on the eighth day of the first month of next month, on the day of Laba Festival, let Le Yi and Marquis Mei get married, which can be regarded as adding the joy of the New Year to the palace - oh, this palace remembers that my aunt said that the day of Laba Festival is the birthday of the county lord, so, When I arrived, the Hou Mansion was three days away. What does the county lord think? ”

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing's heart was cold, as if it was as cold as ice and snow-

I have to say that Li You's move was cruel.

He set Le Yi and Mei Zijin's big wedding on her birthday, but he deliberately made her sad, so that when she was supposed to reunite with Mei Zijin and celebrate her birthday, she wanted to spend her birthday alone, and watched him marry Le Yi into the mansion, so that her birthday would become her sad day......

After that, without thinking about it, she will also know that every birthday in the future, Princess Leyi will take advantage of the fact that Laba is the day she and Mei Zijin get married, and occupy Mei Zijin under various excuses, so that she will live alone on every birthday in the future......

The heart was empty, but Shui Qingqing smiled lightly on his face: "The things decided by the prince are excellent, and I think it's good!" ”

Li You saw the loneliness in her eyes, and she was proud in her heart, and said with a smile: "So, it's decided." ”

Returning to the cool breeze platform in a daze, Shui Qingqing lay on the bed tiredly, and the place where her forehead was smashed was faintly painful.

Xiaoxi sent Liuli back, looked at Shui Qingqing lying on the bed, and said with heartache and guilt: "Miss, the slave maid doesn't know that the eighth day of the lunar month is Miss's birthday, and I couldn't help Miss celebrate her birthday last year......"

Looking at Xiaoxi's guilty face, Shui Qingqing smiled bitterly: "Silly girl, last year, I didn't know that I had a birthday on Laba Day, and I met my mother later...... I learned that I was born on Laba Day. ”

What Shui Qingqing said was true, she was sure that she didn't know what day she was born, because when her adoptive father picked her up in the desert, he didn't know when she was born. And since I was a child, I have lived with my adoptive father, and the days are hard, and it is good to be able to fill my stomach every day, and there is still time to celebrate my birthday.

What's more, she didn't know what day her birthday was......

Xiao Xi looked at her in surprise, and said more and more heartbroken: "So, hasn't Miss had a birthday before?" ”

Shui Qingqing said: "Over there in the West Desert, I don't care about this, and my adoptive father is only a ...... of his birthday."

Shui Qingqing said casually, but Xiaoxi's eyes were red with heartache, and she choked her throat and said: "The prince is really despicable, he knows that day is Miss's birthday, and he wants to spend his birthday with Hou Ye's little son, but he deliberately arranged the wedding of the fifth princess and Hou Ye on that day, deliberately making Miss sad, and letting Miss spend her birthday alone......"

Shui Qingqing took Xiaoxi's hand and comforted with a smile: "Silly girl, it's just a birthday, what does it have to do with it." I haven't had a birthday in so many years, so I'm used to it......"

"What's more, don't I still have you by my side, even if the Hou Ye is busy marrying the princess that day, you and Yun'er can accompany me for my birthday, there's nothing to be sad about......"

Xiaoxi wiped her eyes and smiled bitterly: "Well, when that day comes, the slave maid will definitely do a good job for the young lady, so that the young lady can have a lively first birthday." ”

Shui Qingqing didn't want her to be sad, so she agreed with a smile, "Okay, I'm waiting for my Xiaoxi to give me my first birthday!" ”

The news of Shui Qingqing's beating, as well as the final date set for her marriage to Le Yi, soon reached the Hou Mansion at the same time.

Mei Zijin immediately blackened his face and entered the palace.

He didn't go to Liangfengtai, but went to Princess Leyi's Xuehe Palace first.

Princess Leyi was happy about the wedding date set by the prince for her, and suddenly heard a report from the palace people, saying that the Marquis of Dingguo was coming.

Dew Drop cheered her up on the side: "What is the princess afraid of, how can you say that you are also a princess, and it is also appropriate to teach the county lord a lesson, not to mention that she was already disobedient and provocative first, let's take care of it, and we are not afraid ......of what the Hou Ye will say."

Thinking about it, Le Yi's momentum couldn't help but rise again, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Let Master Hou come in." ”

Having said that, Le Yi still instructed the palace people to prepare exquisite tea and pastries, touched up the makeup, and added her favorite delicate red plum Bu Shao to the bun, so she was excited and nervous to wait for Mei Zijin's arrival.

Although Le Yi is rude, she has a hero complex in her heart, so among the children of the nobles in the capital, she looks down on those weak and bookish and angry delicate sons, and she likes to fight in all directions since she was a child.

And as I grew older, the love of these young people turned into the admiration of the girl's family. She has always unabashedly expressed her admiration for Mei Zijin, and she wants to marry him.

That's why I hate Shui Qingqing so much......

After Mei Zijin entered the Xuehe Palace, he did not enter the palace, he stood in the snow in front of the palace in a cold air, his cold eyebrows and eyes were frosted, and he looked coldly at Princess Leyi who came out of the palace.

"Why did the princess beat the people of my Hou Mansion?"

didn't wait for Princess Leyi to speak, nor did she take the initiative to salute her, Mei Zijin had already asked coldly, and there was no trace of warmth between the words.

Princess Leyi's footsteps out of the palace gate stagnated slightly, and the smile on her face froze, but she was stunned for a while and couldn't reply on the spot.

Seeing that there were palace people walking around, Luzhu was afraid that Mei Zijin would be embarrassed by her master, so she hurriedly said on the side: "It's cold, it's better to enter the palace if there is anything to do with the Hou Ye-the princess has ordered the slave maid to prepare fragrant tea and pastries......"

But Mei Zijin didn't appreciate it, her body didn't move, and her eyes stared coldly at Le Yi, who was flushed, as if she insisted on asking her for an explanation.

Princess Leyi didn't advance or retreat, she wanted to turn around and go back, but she was afraid that she would be said that she was cowardly and afraid. can continue to stand in front of the hall and be questioned by Mei Zijin, and he is extremely aggrieved in his heart.

The next moment, she was annoyed and angry: "What are you from the Hou Mansion? My father has given me a marriage, I am the lady of the Hou Mansion, why not teach a little flat wife? ! ”

Mei Zijin's eyes became more and more cold, and he said coldly: "The holy order cannot be violated, it is good that you are the wife of the Hou Mansion, but she is the only wife in my heart, and you can't move it casually." If there is a next time, don't be afraid of Ben Hou turning his face! ”

After that, Mei Zijin threw off her robe and left, leaving Princess Leyi stunned on the spot, she couldn't believe what she heard-

The only wife?

What is the only wife, and shouldn't his wife be her?

Princess Leyi, who came back to her senses, trembled with anger, and chased after Mei Zijin's back without thinking about it, but she hit the steps and fell on the snow.

The red plum blossom on her head fell out of her bun, and the red plum petals were set with rubies and shattered into pieces, like Princess Leyi's broken heart......

She lay on her stomach in the snow and walked farther and farther away towards Mei Zijin's back, and shouted with teary resentment: "I won't let you succeed...... One day when this princess is here, you don't want to spoil your concubine and kill your wife...... I won't let go of that slut's ......"

Dew Drop stepped forward to help Le Yi, who was covered with snow stains, and said indignantly: "Master Hou is really too much, how can you treat the princess like this...... It's cold on the ground, so get up, princess. ”

Princess Leyi had nowhere to vent the hatred in her heart, and turned to Luzhu and said hatefully: "Did you find out about the matter that you were asked to monitor?" ”

At this moment, a small inner prison came in from outside the door, knelt down in front of the angry Princess Leyi, and said in a trembling voice: "Princess Hui, the little one was guarding outside Jingren Palace, and I saw a strange person......

Le Yi said impatiently: "What person? ”

The little inner eunuch hesitated for a moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes...... It's the miracle doctor friend of Hou Ye outside the palace! ”

As soon as these words came out, Le Yi was shocked again......
