Chapter 155: The Emperor Awakens

Le Yi was very shrewd and knew that Shui Qingqing had an enmity with the prince, so he deliberately sent Shui Qingqing and Lu Lin to the prince's east palace.

Isn't this going to push Shui Qingqing and Lu Lin to their deaths?

Seeing that she was about to be dragged out of the palace by the palace people, Shui Qingqing, who was forced to have no way out, couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted at Leyi: "Okay, I'll tell you the secret between us, you let them stop first......"

Hearing this, Princess Le Yi was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect Shui Qingqing to be relieved so quickly.

Her eyes pierced Shui Qingqing's body like a blade, and she didn't let her palace people stop, but said coldly: "You don't want to deceive me with an excuse - let's talk about it first, what is your relationship with him?" Why do you have to meet secretly in the palace? ”

Shui Qingqing looked at the palace people around her with a white face, gritted her teeth to suppress the anger in her heart, and said coldly: "Since I promised to tell the princess, I will definitely tell the truth." And what I said to the princess is also related to the princess's safety and interests and the big wedding with the marquis soon, why doesn't the princess listen to me alone and then consider sending us to the East Palace?! ”

Hearing her words, Le Yi was stunned again, with a puzzled look on her face.

But she saw Shui Qingqing's firm description, but it didn't look like she was lying, and her heart couldn't help but tighten, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally waved her hand and let Lu Lin and the cronies take Lu Lin to the back and lock him up, and she and Shui Qingqing returned to the palace.

"Tell me, princess, how are you going to make up nonsense?"

Le Yifu sat down at the round table again, looked at her with cold eyes, and sneered coldly: "This princess wants to see how the hookup between you will implicate the safety of this princess - if you can't give me a satisfactory answer, Shui Qingqing, I won't let you go." ”

Shui Qingqing, who returned to the hall, was covered with dense cold sweat little by little, and her clothes were already wet in a moment, and the sticky feeling made her particularly uncomfortable.

She gasped heavily, calming her flustered heart, her body was tense, her nails pinched into her palms and she couldn't feel any pain, and there was only one thought in her mind, that is, how to persuade Le Yi to let her and Lu Lin go?

Countless thoughts and countless thoughts, and even all kinds of lies that popped up in an instant were piled up in her head, making Shui Qingqing's mind a mess like a pot of porridge.

However, in the midst of a thousand turns of thought, there was a sudden thought that had firmly occupied her reason, making her mood more and more excited and more determined.

Because, she suddenly thought that maybe the unruly princess in front of her who stumbled her was a turning point that she had been thinking about.

In other words, she can tell her the truth of the matter, and let her help them send the decoction that can revive Emperor Jin Ming to the Qianqing Palace.

However, will Le Yi be willing to believe her and help them?

Fighting fiercely in her heart, the next moment, Shui Qingqing's eyes sank, and finally no longer hesitated, stepped forward and sat opposite Le Yi, her eyes looked at her for a moment, and said calmly: "If I tell the princess that Dr. Lu entered the palace, I invited him to come in to treat the emperor, does the princess believe it?" ”

Le Yi was stunned when he heard this, his eyes suddenly sank, but his face was disgusted: "You don't want to trick me - if you want him to help his father treat his illness, why don't you take him to Qianqing Palace to see his father in a serious way, but sneakily let him pretend to be an apprentice and have a private meeting with you in Jingren Palace, are you a three-year-old child when you are the princess?" ”

Shui Qingqing didn't miss a trace of the expression on Le Yi's face, even the subtle changes in her eyes, she looked at it carefully, and her hanging heart couldn't help but relax slightly-

She knew that Le Yi didn't believe her on the face, but she didn't believe her in her heart.

Perhaps, the abnormality in the Qianqing Palace, or even the Emperor Jin Ming, who has been ill for a long time, is only afraid that Le Yi, as a princess, will notice it.

Shui Qingqing said bitterly: "If the Qianqing Palace can be entered so easily, I don't have to spend so much effort - I admit that today I deliberately provoked the princess to do something to me, and I also deliberately asked Lu Lin to help me bandage my wounds, all I did was because I knew that the emperor was not awake for a long time, not because he was seriously ill, but because someone didn't want him to wake up, and even wanted to...... Let the emperor sleep like this all the time......"

As soon as these words came out, Le Yi's face completely changed, and he stared at Shui Qingqing in disbelief, his eyes were full of surprise, his expression was surging with panic, and he lowered his voice and gritted his teeth: "Do you have evidence?" If there is no evidence to talk nonsense, this princess tears her mouth......"

"Such a big thing, borrow ten guts from me, I don't dare to talk nonsense!"

Shui Qingqing replied unusually calmly.

And the calmer she is, the more flustered Princess Leyi becomes.

The next moment, Princess Leyi stood up and said to the palace people guarding outside the palace: "The wind is blowing, and the princess's eyes hurt, so quickly close the palace doors and windows." ”

After that, she got up and walked to the inner hall, and said coldly to Shui Qingqing: "Come in." ”

Shui Qingqing's tense heart relaxed for half a minute, and she quickly got up and followed Princess Leyi into the inner hall, and came to the warm couch behind the screen.

After entering the inner hall, Princess Leyi's expression was no longer as self-assured as outside, and she was already in a panic.

She looked at Shui Qingqing and said coldly: "You'd better tell me what the hell is going on - who framed my father for lying unconscious?" Where did you get the news again...... Hurry up and make it clear, and don't hide it at all......"

At this time, the words have been spoken, and Shui Qingqing will no longer hide it from Princess Leyi.

What's more, she still has to rely on her to feed Lu Lin's medicine into Emperor Jin Ming's mouth, so that Emperor Jin Ming can wake up as soon as possible.

Therefore, Shui Qingqing no longer concealed it, and told Princess Leyi about the suspicions in her heart, as well as the discovery in the Qianqing Palace, and even the medicine that Lu Lin found in the medicine stains she brought out to Emperor Jin Ming's coma.

“…… I asked Doctor Lu to meet in Jingren Palace, just to show him the medicine stains, and ask him to help the emperor prescribe medicine, so that the emperor can wake up as soon as possible, not that the princess thinks that she has an improper relationship with him. So please ask the princess for the sake of the Hou Ye, let Lu Lin go, and let him leave the palace quickly, if not, if he is discovered by others, he will be dead......"

Now, Shui Qingqing is most worried about Lu Lin's safety, trespassing in the palace is a big crime, not to mention that he is still a man, and he has entered the concubine's bedroom.

At that time, if the prince knows, not only will he die. And in order to deal with the four princes, I am afraid that even the virtuous concubine will not let go......

The more she thought about it, the more panicked and worried she became, Shui Qingqing looked at Princess Leyi with a shocked and tangled face, hoping that she could take care of the overall situation and help them rationally for the sake of her father and Mei Zijin.

After listening to Shui Qingqing's words, Princess Le Yi was completely shocked, her expression was frightened, her legs were weak, and she sat on the warm couch behind her.

Of course, she understood the meaning of what Shui Qingqing said, and as a royal princess, she knew the danger behind this incident......

If everything is really as Shui Qingqing said, and the father's serious illness is the cause of the crown prince, then the matter is really serious......

Thinking of this, Le Yi raised his eyes and stared at Shui Qingqing with a grim expression, gritted his teeth to suppress the panic and fear in his heart, and said coldly: "You are simply talking nonsense, the prince's brother is already a prince, how could he do such a thing...... What's more, the Queen Mother also helped him, which is enough to see that the fact that his father is seriously ill has nothing to do with the prince's brother. The Queen Mother will never help the prince to murder her father......"

"What if the Queen Mother was also deceived and bewitched by the prince? The medicine that the emperor drank is enough to explain everything, so the princess should think about the overall situation, help the emperor and the marquis, and even help yourself. ”

Le Yi's heart was extremely messy, and he wrung his hands and pretended to be calm: "This matter ...... What is the relationship with Princess Ben? Brother Crown Prince has always been very kind to me, and I don't believe he would do such a thing, let alone help you deal with him......"

"Why is it none of the princess's business! It was your father who was murdered, do you want to watch your father fall asleep for a long time...... And when the prince's conspiracy succeeds, the first thing the prince has to deal with is Hou Ye, have you forgotten that you are about to marry Hou Ye, and you are going to marry Mrs. Hou of the Hou Mansion, if Hou Ye and the Hou Mansion have an accident, even if you are lucky to be spared, but your life will be ruined...... Do you expect that when you become a widow, your brother will find you another husband? ”

"Shut up!"

Hearing this, Princess Leyi's whole body trembled, and she shouted without thinking about it: "Are you cursing Lord Hou and Princess Ben?" I will definitely grow old with the Hou Ye, and I will not become a widow...... None of this can happen......"

"Therefore, the princess has to come forward to help the Hou Ye and yourself, and you can't let this happen - in this way, on the eighth day of the lunar month, the princess can marry with peace of mind and become a happy bride."

Shui Qingqing struck while the iron was hot and persuaded Le Yi hard.

In fact, at this moment, her heart was even more flustered than Princess Leyi.

When she told Le Yi everything, she had no way out, and the only way out was to persuade Le Yi to help them......

"Princess, you can not believe my words, but you can't ignore the emperor's safety and your own happiness. So please help the princess and let the emperor wake up as soon as possible......"

In the end, Shui Qingqing stepped forward to kneel down for Princess Leyi.

"Now, the queen mother and the crown prince are still not wary of the princess, so only the princess can enter the Qianqing Palace, give the medicine to the emperor, and let the emperor wake up...... Ask the princess to focus on the overall situation and save the emperor! ”

Looking at Shui Qingqing who was kneeling in front of her and begging bitterly, Princess Leyi had mixed feelings in her heart, and wanted to come forward to save her father according to what Shui Qingqing said, but she was unwilling to be persuaded by her so much, so she let her go......

Staring at Shui Qingqing with heavy eyes, Princess Le Yi didn't speak for a long time, but what Mei Zijin said to her before came to mind.

He said that the woman in front of him was his only wife.

He also said that she was not allowed to touch her casually. If there is a next time, he will turn his face with her!

The jealousy in her heart grew again, and Le Yi knew that although Shui Qingqing's identity was not as good as her, her weight in Mei Zijin's mind was far beyond her......

What's more, she has already given birth to the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, coupled with Mei Zijin's love for her, even if she has the identity of the Hou Mansion, I am afraid that it will be in vain.

So......

Almost instantly, Le Yi had a crazy idea in his heart, his eyes looked at Shui Qingqing in front of him coldly, and he said coldly: "I can promise to help you, but you have to promise me one thing." Otherwise, I still have to send you and Lu Lin to the East Palace, and tell the prince about your plans one by one! ”

The whole body trembled violently, and Shui Qingqing looked up at Princess Leyi with a frosty face in front of her.

When she saw the determination in Princess Leyi's eyes, she had already guessed something, and a chill spread from the soles of her feet to her limbs, and it was cold to the bone......

Before leaving Xuehe Palace, Princess Le Yi asked Lu Lin to be sent out of the palace overnight in front of Shui Qingqing.

After Lu Lin left, Princess Leyi looked back at Shui Qingqing, who looked pale with a pale face, hooked her lips and sneered: "This princess has fulfilled her promise, and she will find a way to let her father take a decoction to save him from waking up." So, what you promised this princess, you must do it - don't forget, you swear by your son's life! ”

The blood on Shui Qingqing's face has long since faded since she agreed to the conditions proposed by Le Yi.

Suppressing the grief and despair in her heart, Shui Qingqing barely pulled out a smile, and said softly with a pale face: "Thank you, princess......"

When she walked out of the Xuehe Palace, the wind and snow were wanton again, and the cold wind swept up the clumps of snow and smashed on Shui Qingqing's thin body, making her can't help but shrink up.

When she walked down the steps, Shui Qingqing, whose body was evacuated, trembled weakly with her legs, and the next moment, her body slipped down and fell straight down the steps.

"Miss!"

Xiaoxi rushed out of the corner like a snowman and helped Shui Qingqing before she fell.

"Little Joy...... Why are you here? ”

Looking at Xiao Xi, whose nose was red from the cold of a snowman, Shui Qingqing's heart became more and more bitter, and her eyes were very sore, before the tears were about to fall, she hurriedly didn't turn her head to wipe away the tears, and then touched Xiao Xi's cold hands, choked her throat and said bitterly: "It's snowing so hard, have you been staying outside?" Why are you so stupid, what if you freeze to death? ”

It turned out that after Shui Qingqing followed Liuli, Xiaoxi was not at ease at all, and kept guarding outside the Xuehe Palace, ready to find something wrong, so she went to Jingren Palace to ask Concubine Xian to save Shui Qingqing......

Xiaoxi's brain was numb from the cold, but she was still very happy to see Shui Qingqing come out.

It was dark and the road was slippery, Xiaoxi helped Shui Qingqing to walk carefully to the cool breeze platform with one shallow foot, looked at the road with his eyes, and did not find the strange look of Shui Qingqing's expression, but asked worriedly: "Miss, Princess Leyi didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

Shui Qingqing said indifferently: "No, I just had a casual meal......

Xiaoxi nodded reassuringly, "Yes, Hou Ye just looked for her in the afternoon, forgive her and don't dare to bully Miss again......"

Shui Qingqing reluctantly looked at Xiao Xi's little face that was red from the cold, and tears couldn't help but pour out again......

The master and servant braved the wind and snow to return to the cool breeze platform, and Xiaoxi hurriedly asked the palace people to bring hot water to warm up Shui Qingqing. Shui Qingqing also asked Xiaoxi to go down to take a hot bath to get cold, and asked the palace people to boil a thick ginger soup for Xiaoxi.

Xiaoxi drank ginger soup and served Shui Qingqing to sleep, but Shui Qingqing took her hand and sat down on the side, and said softly: "Xiaoxi, after leaving the palace this time, presumably Sanshi's injury is almost healed, I will make the decision to let you marry and marry you to him, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Xi's eyes lit up, but his face turned red like a fire.

"Miss, you...... Why did you suddenly come up with this......"

Looking at Xiaoxi's shy little face, Shui Qingqing was very reluctant, took her hand, and said movingly: "In the past two years, you have been following me unabated...... I have suffered too much with me, and I have hardly lived a good life...... And now, you have also reached the age of marriage, Sanshi is a good person, and he is also very attentive to you, and I can rest assured that I entrust you to her......"

In the end, Shui Qingqing's eyes fell again, and her throat was so choked that she could barely speak.

Xiaoxi looked at her red eyes, and finally noticed that something was wrong, and couldn't help but worry: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" But what happened? ”

Shui Qingqing wiped her tears and smiled bitterly: "It's okay, I just thought that you were going to get married, and I couldn't bear it." ”

Xiaoxi blushed and said, "I can't bear Miss either, I won't marry, I want to stay with Miss all the time......"

Shui Qingqing pressed the pain in her heart and smiled: "Silly girl, how can you follow me for a lifetime, you will eventually get married and get married." Getting married and having children is the best destination for a woman's life...... I hope you are happy, so that I can rest assured. ”

Listening to Shui Qingqing's words, Xiao Xi was extremely warm. And since the last assassination, Sanshi desperately blocked the sword for her, Xiaoxi's heart was completely moved by Sanshi, and she also decided that Sanshi was her lifelong lover, so she blushed and said shyly: "Even if I get married in the future, I still have to serve Miss well...... Sanshi he, he grew up in the Hou Mansion since he was a child, and he has always been by the Hou Ye's side, presumably he is reluctant to leave the Hou Ye......"

Xiaoxi said this, but she agreed to marry Sanshi, and couldn't help but let Shui Qingqing relax, and said with a smile: "Well, I will talk to the Hou Ye and arrange a courtyard for you in the Hou Mansion, so that you can live in the Hou Mansion after you get married." ”

Xiaoxi's heart was sweet, and she couldn't help but say: "From then on, Sanshi, Miss and Hou Ye and I will be happily together......"

Shui Qingqing smiled bitterly, but couldn't answer her words......

Another sleepless night.

The next morning, Shui Qingqing woke up with swollen eyes, and she didn't care about eating breakfast, so she asked Xiaoxi to go to Qianqing Palace to inquire about the news.

Xiaoxi came back soon and told Shui Qingqing that today Princess Leyi replaced the county lord of Linrou and took the initiative to ask to serve in the Qianqing Palace and accompany the queen mother.

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing's heart was relieved, and she was worried that her heart had finally settled down all night, and she took Xiaoxi to Jingren Palace again on the grounds of asking for peace.

As soon as Concubine Xian saw her, she looked at her obviously pale face, and asked her worriedly if she was not feeling well after being smashed yesterday?

Shui Qingqing smiled and said that it was okay, and after the palace people retreated, she told Concubine Xian that she could start boiling medicine for the emperor.

Concubine Xian was stunned at first, and then reacted to the meaning of her words, shocked and excited: "The county lord has found a way to deliver medicine?" ”

Shui Qingqing smiled bitterly: "I asked Princess Leyi for help, and she agreed." And this morning the princess went into the Qianqing Palace to serve the sick, presumably when the mother boiled the medicine and handed it over to the princess, we succeeded. ”

Listening to Shui Qingqing's words, Concubine Xian looked surprised, both happy and curious: "You actually went to find Le Yi?!" Also, she has always been close to the crown prince, presumably by her, the prince will not suspect that the county lord is really smart, and he will think of her. Just ......"

Looking at Concubine Xian's puzzled expression, Shui Qingqing knew what Concubine Xian was thinking, and said softly: "The emperor is the princess's father after all. And the princess was also worried that the prince would be unfavorable to the Hou Ye after he gained power, which would affect her marriage with the Hou Ye and her future happiness, so she agreed to help us and bring the medicine into the Qianqing Palace for the emperor to drink......"

Concubine Xian smiled happily: "In this way, it is the best." The county lord sat down first, and the palace immediately went to boil the medicine. ”

An hour later, Concubine Xian boiled the medicine, Shui Qingqing asked Liuli to find a firmly sealed gilded silver hand stove, poured the decoction into it, and sent someone to quietly send it to the Qianqing Palace, and handed it over to the hands of Dewdrop, who then sent the hand stove to Princess Leyi by sending a hand stove to Le Yi to warm her hands......

In this way, Le Yi went in and out of the Qianqing Palace with a hand stove every day, and quietly gave the decoction hidden in the hand stove to Emperor Jin Ming, but fortunately did not arouse the suspicion of the prince and the queen mother......

Emperor Jin Ming, who had taken medicine for two days, began to show signs of awakening, and the three-day period agreed between the prince and Nameless had also arrived.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, after Shui Qingqing learned the news of the prince's departure from the palace, she took Xiaoxi to the Qianqing Palace again.

As expected, according to what Lu Lin said, before noon today, Emperor Jin Ming, who had taken medicine for two days in a row, should wake up.

Seeing the sun gradually rising, Shui Qingqing, who was guarding outside the hall, was anxious.

She didn't know what the situation outside the palace was, whether Nameless and Mei Zijin had gone to the Three Princes' Mansion to make an appointment, and whether Li You had already set a trap waiting for them?

She was even more worried about whether Emperor Jin Ming would be able to wake up smoothly before noon and whether he would be able to catch up with everything Mei Zijin had planned......

After a while, Concubine Xian also rushed over, pinching the handkerchief in her hand with both hands, but she was more nervous than Shui Qingqing.

Seeing the arrival of Concubine Xian, Shui Qingqing was very surprised, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang go back quickly, I am afraid that it will be an eventful place here today, and it is better for Niangniang to protect herself and pretend not to know......"

Concubine Xian's heart tightened, she knew that Shui Qingqing was for her good, and she was afraid that if something happened, she would be implicated, but-

"How can the county lord be in danger with this palace? What's more, there is still the queen mother inside, even if the emperor wakes up, I am afraid that the county lord will not be able to help the queen mother, so at this time, the palace must come forward to help the county lord. ”

"So, stay for a while, after the emperor wakes up, you can do your thing, the queen mother is there, and the palace will help you bear the ......"

Shui Qingqing was grateful for Concubine Xian's help, and she also knew that Concubine Xian was right, but she was not 100% sure that she would be able to pass the Queen Mother's level......

In this way, the two of them stared at the door of the dormitory and did not dare to blink, so nervous that they couldn't breathe.

Time passed minute by minute, seeing that it was getting closer and closer to noon, just when the strings in Shui Qingqing's heart were about to break, she finally heard a strange sound from the dormitory.

In the next breath, Princess Leyi's voice sounded happily in the dormitory, and she shouted loudly out of the window-

"Come on, my father has woken up......"
