Shui Qingqing suddenly understood that she was in the Western Desert, but she was afraid that Empress Chen would already know.

In this way, I am afraid that she will prevent herself from marrying Li You even more.

However, she just promised Li You on the city tower that she would no longer hesitate repeatedly, and only concentrate on getting married and being the third imperial concubine......

So, what is she going to do?

Her heart was cold, and Shui Qingqing smiled quietly: "Before coming to see Niangniang, His Royal Highness took me to the city tower of Beidingmen. His Royal Highness told me, let me let go of all the previous things from this moment on, only concentrate on making preparations for marriage, and be his third princess with peace of mind - so, the previous things are over. ”

Hearing this, Li You's face relaxed, but Queen Chen's face sank. And Princess Linrou, who was sitting quietly and looking at Shui Qingqing from time to time, had even darker eyes, and stiffly put down the teacup in her hand.

Queen Chen sighed with embarrassment: "The past can be said to be in the past." At least listen to what you just said, this palace knows that your hatred for the cause of your mother's death has always been lingering, so-"

Looking at Shui Qingqing with eager eyes, Empress Chen said tentatively and quietly: "So, if you really want to let go of everything before getting married, won't you have to let go of the cause of your mother's death?"

Shui Qingqing's heart was cold, and she looked at Queen Chen and asked, "Does Niangniang want me to let go of my mother's hatred and not take revenge for my mother?"

Empress Chen's face froze slightly, and before she could speak, Li You said coldly: "Auntie's death is full of suspicions, and it must be investigated clearly - don't worry, even if you don't investigate, I will help my aunt find out the cause of death, and give my aunt justice!"

Hearing this, Empress Chen's hand holding the teacup suddenly tightened, and her eyes completely cooled......

Li You was worried that Shui Qingqing's body was not good, and he was even more sensitive to the wrong atmosphere, so he proposed to send Shui Qingqing out of the palace, but Queen Chen stopped with a smile and said with a smile: "Guan Qing finally entered the palace, how can she just come and leave?" Since he came, there are many imperial doctors in the palace. Oh, this palace remembers, there is a doctor in the palace, isn't it just that he is familiar with Guan Qing, I heard that it was the doctor who rescued you from the lake at the beginning. Imperial Doctor Sheng happened to be on duty today, so I invited him to help you take a look, and by the way, let you reminisce about the past. ”

After that, it is undoubtedly necessary to let the red sleeves go to the Tai Hospital to recruit Sheng Fang to come to Chuxiu Palace.

Sheng Fang has just served as a imperial physician for less than two years, and according to his qualifications, he is not enough to step into the queen's palace.

And when Red Sleeves recruited him, he didn't tell him at all that he was here to see Shui Qingqing, but just said that the queen summoned him, which made Sheng Fang nervous and nervous along the way.

When Sheng Fang, who was nervous, entered Chuxiu Palace and saw Shui Qingqing, his heart was relieved, and he was about to step forward to greet her, but before he spoke, he suddenly thought that his identity was different now, and he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down respectfully, and saluted Queen Chen, Li You and others.

Sheng Fang is over forty years old, he is an honest and honest person, after rescuing Shui Qingqing from the lake, he found that Shui Qingqing had just given birth, and the uterus was seriously damaged.

Even if Shui Qingqing later returned to Baifu and became the eldest daughter of the Xiangye family, the noble county lord of Guanqing, and would marry the third highness to become the princess, Sheng Fang still carefully helped her keep this secret secret, never exposed her, and climbed up with Shui Qingqing's relationship because he had saved her before, and still honestly worked as an errand in the Tai Hospital.

Empress Chen asked Sheng Fang to get up and instructed him to see Shui Qingqing.

Seeing Sheng Fang in the queen's Chuxiu Palace, although Shui Qingqing was happy in her heart, she always felt that Queen Chen had other purposes, and she couldn't help but feel worried, worried about Sheng Fang and herself.

Sheng Fang didn't know the entanglement in Shui Qingqing's heart, he only thought that Empress Chen specially called him over, it was really for Shui Qingqing to see a doctor, so he couldn't help but be completely relieved, and helped her diagnose her pulse attentively, and then worried: "The county lord is indeed contaminated with wind and cold, but fortunately, the symptoms are still shallow, just drink a few patches of medicine to recuperate for a few days, but——"

Speaking of the back, Sheng Fang couldn't help but pause, and Empress Chen pretended to be concerned: "Just what?"

Sheng Fang looked at Shui Qingqing's obviously haggard face, and sighed: "It's just that the county lord is worried, his mind is too worried, and he hurts his mind and damages his body, and after a long time, it is really not good for his body."

Li You listened, her eyes looked at Shui Qingqing, and she also felt that she was much thinner than when she was in the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, and her complexion was no longer moisturized, her long eyebrows were twisted unconsciously, and she asked in a deep voice: "Is there a medicine to cure her?"

Sheng Fang also wondered in his heart, it stands to reason that Shui Qingqing should be happy to find her identity, why is she even more haggard than when she lost her memory in her own home?

He was concerned: "This is a heart disease, as long as the county lord relaxes his mind and worries less, the disease will naturally be cured."

Listening to Sheng Fang's words, Empress Chen's apricot eyes flashed quickly, and she pretended to be angry at Shui Qingqing: "You are so young, there are so many worries from that." said that he promised You'er to let go of everything and get married with peace of mind, why is he still so sad in his heart? What are you worried about, say it and let Bengong and You'er help you come up with ideas! ”

Lord Linrou, who had been silent, also smiled coldly on the side: "I'm afraid that Sister Guanqing is happy and excited about her marriage with Her Royal Highness...... Now the woman in this world, the one who doesn't envy her sister's good fortune. ”

Hearing this, Li You's eyes sank by half a minute, and he knew in his heart what Shui Qingqing was worried about - everything, just because she couldn't let go of Mei Zijin in her heart!

Thinking of this, Li You couldn't help but think of the rampant and firm words that Mei Zijin said when he was looking for Shui Qingqing yesterday, and his mood that had finally calmed down became angry.

Thinking of this, Li You called the palace people around him and quietly ordered a few, and the palace people hurriedly took the order.

After seeing the consultation, Shui Qingqing personally sent Dr. Sheng out.

Along the way, Shui Qingqing asked everyone in the Sheng family how they were doing?

Sheng Fang told her that everyone in the Sheng family was very good, and asked her not to worry. It's just that when he talked about Sheng Yu, his tone slowed down unconsciously, and he couldn't help but sigh heavily.

It turned out that since Sheng Yu fled home from a brothel in the south, his temperament has changed greatly, not to mention that after seeing Mei Zijin come to find Shui Qingqing, he has become more and more unwilling to give up, and has been thinking of ways to get close to Mei Zijin.

Dr. Sheng was also very sad about this, and his wife was also very sad, so he originally visited a few small families for her and asked her to go over to be a stepmother. In this way, annihilating her previous unbearable past and living a small life peacefully is also a good result and destination. It's just that I didn't expect that Sheng Yu, who was already above the top, saw that his two sisters had married into a powerful family of a wealthy family, and his heart became more and more unbalanced, and he didn't agree with the family's arrangement at all, and he was only bent on marrying into the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, and he refused to give up on Mei Zijin......

Looking at the sadness on Imperial Physician Sheng's face, even if he didn't elaborate, Shui Qingqing probably guessed that it was Sheng Yu's matter that bothered the family, and couldn't help but persuade: "The master is kind to me, if there is something I can help with Miss Sheng's affairs, the master can tell me."

Seeing that she was still willing to respectfully call herself 'master' today, Sheng Fang was very relieved in her heart, and sighed: "Thank you for the county lord's concern, her business, I'm afraid that no one can help her achieve it, I just hope that one day, she can wake up to her dead heart."

Hearing the word 'dead heart', Shui Qingqing instantly understood, knowing that Sheng Yu was still obsessed with Mei Zijin.

However, Mei Zijin already disliked her, and now she is a person who came out of the land of fireworks, such a person, even if she is a concubine, she is afraid that Mei Zijin and the old lady will not agree......

When they parted, Shui Qingqing solemnly asked Sheng Fang again and asked him to help her continue to hide what happened before.

Sheng Fang nodded solemnly and said, "County Lord, please rest assured, as a healer, whether I follow medical ethics or the kindness between me and the county lord, Weichen will keep it in mind." Rest assured! ”

After that, Sheng Fang did not forget to advise: "The county lord relaxes his mind, your body has already been damaged, if you continue to worry like this, it will do all kinds of harm to your body and no benefit, and the county lord must not continue like this."

Shui Qingqing smiled bitterly and thanked Sheng Fang softly.

At this time, the two of them had already traveled to the Imperial Garden. After saying goodbye, Shui Qingqing turned around and walked back, but saw two people walking slowly in the distance, but it was Mei Zijin and the fifth princess Leyi.

The man's dark purple brocade robe was long and jade, cold and extraordinary. The woman is dressed in a pretty yellow dress and a bird, delicate and cute.

The two came together and attracted the attention of countless people along the way.

Suddenly sour in her heart, Shui Qingqing hurriedly hid her body carefully behind a tree on the side of the road, looking at them with her eyes through the gaps, her heart was cold, and she was even more sour and sad-

She has never been able to accompany him openly like Princess Leyi.

Every time they meet, even if they are in the Hou Mansion, they have to avoid suspicion, even if they are walking on the same road, he is in front, and she follows far behind from a distance......

It turned out that from the beginning, they were destined not to be together......

Her eyes were sore and uncomfortable, Shui Qingqing silently watched them go away, and then she came out of the hiding place, standing in the middle of the road in a daze, not knowing where she should go?

Sighing silently, she was about to return to Chuxiu Palace when a majestic voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"At a young age, I sighed, but what's the trouble?"

Suddenly hearing the voice, Shui Qingqing was shocked, and hurriedly looked back, but she didn't know when Emperor Jin Ming was standing behind her with his hands down.

"The Emperor's ......"

Surprised, Shui Qingqing hurriedly bent her knees and saluted, but before she could bend down, Emperor Jin Ming had already reached out to help her up.

After the beginning of spring, the imperial garden is full of purple and red, and even the early apricots on the roadside are carefully cultivated by the craftsmen in the palace.

At that time, Shui Qingqing happened to be standing under an apricot forest, with clusters of tender white flowers behind her.

When Shui Qingqing turned around and was about to bow to Emperor Jin Ming, for a moment, Emperor Jin Ming thought that he had seen Wuning twenty years ago.

With a tight heart, Emperor Jin Ming looked at Shui Qingqing's wet eyes and the sad look on her face, and then thought of her hiding behind a tree just now to watch Mei Zijin and Le Yi, and his heart was slightly stunned-

Could it be that the rumors I heard before about her and the Marquis of Dingguo were true?

However, in a few days, she will marry You'er......

Emperor Jin Ming couldn't suppress the thought in his mind that twenty years ago, Wu Ning, who was pretending to be a little palace maid, was also like her daughter today, quietly looking at Bai Haoqing, who was following him......

After many years, recalling the past, Emperor Jin Ming's hard heart still had a sour taste, and he couldn't help laughing and laughing.

He looked at Shui Qingqing with a wandering face, and said with a smile: "The little girl wants to accompany me to the garden?"

Thinking that Fang Cai's own actions might have been seen by Emperor Jin Ming, Shui Qingqing was apprehensive, and nodded lightly with a pale face.

Emperor Jin Ming waved away the palace people who were serving behind him, and led Shui Qingqing along the path full of apricot trees and walked forward slowly.

"Do you like Mei Zijin?"

Emperor Jin Ming, who was walking in front, asked without replying.

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing's whole body trembled violently, and she was so shocked that she stayed on the spot, and the whole person was stunned.

Jin Ming looked back at her with a pale and panicked look, smiled knowingly, and said slowly: "Don't be surprised, it's right to like someone."

"The Emperor's ......"

"Although You'er is excellent and outstanding, he was born in the royal family, and although he is exquisite, he lacks a trace of human touch. However, this can't be blamed on him, his responsibilities and the environment in which he grew up so that he doesn't have to put too much of his feelings into the feelings of men and women......"

The words of Emperor Jin Ming are the same as what Li You said with Shui Qingqing on the city tower.

Emperor Jin Ming looked at Shui Qingqing, who was silent, and said, "It's not that I excuse You'er, but it's the sadness of being a prince, because I was the same as You'er back then."

Shui Qingqing couldn't help but think of the portrait of his mother, and the old things between his mother and Emperor Jin Ming, and then looked at Emperor Jin Ming's gloomy eyes, and wanted to ask him, was it really because of his mother's disfigurement that he gave up his mother?

Without waiting for her to speak, Emperor Jin Ming stared at her eyes and said slowly: "And Mei Zijin, who looks like an ice ballast, is cold, hard and piercing, but is more humane than You'er - perhaps, you can feel the sincerity from him, so you like him and don't like You'er, I can understand human nature."

Hearing Emperor Jin Ming's words, Shui Qingqing's heart was shocked, and she suddenly had a trace of impulse, and without thinking about it, she knelt in front of Emperor Jin Ming, plucked up the courage of her whole body, closed her eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Since the emperor knows the thoughts of the courtiers, he also asks the emperor to be gracious and solve the marriage between the courtiers and the third highness...... Otherwise, it would be too unfair to the Third Highness......"

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Jin Ming's eyes sank, and he looked at Shui Qingqing who was kneeling on the ground fixedly, and did not reply for a long time.

Closing her eyes in fear, Shui Qingqing still felt the sense of oppression brought to her by Emperor Jin Ming's majestic and deep eyes, and she was in a cold sweat.

For a long time, just when Shui Qingqing's whole body was wet with cold sweat and was about to lose his support, Emperor Jin Ming finally spoke again.

"It's just raining, the ground is wet and cold, you get up!"

Emperor Jin Ming sighed heavily and said in a muffled voice: "Do you know why your mother married your father back then?"

Shui Qingqing got up from the ground in a daze, but she didn't expect Emperor Jin Ming to suddenly shift the topic to her mother and Bai Haoqing.

"Your mother married your father, not what outsiders think, because she ruined her appearance and no one was willing to marry her, so she married Bai Haoqing, who was just a little waiter at the time."

"Your mother really liked your father back then. Like you, for him, you are willing to give up glory and wealth, even ...... A crown princess. ”

Shui Qingqing suddenly thought of what her mother said to Bai Haoqing before she died, and her heart was suddenly shocked!

"Later, she disfigured her appearance, and it was I who took the initiative to mention to King Wujing and married her to your father. At that time, I just thought about her wish, so that she could stay with her beloved when she lost her precious beauty. In this way, she can also stand up again and live happily when she is most disappointed in her life. But in the end, I didn't expect it...... I actually hurt her. ”

Emperor Jin Ming's words made Shui Qingqing's heart shake, she never expected that things would be like this.

After speaking, Emperor Jin looked at her with clear eyes, and said heavily: "It was also from that time on, from your mother's body, that I understood a truth, not that marrying the person you love will definitely be happy."

"Therefore, I will approve of your marriage with You'er, and I will not agree to your divorce. Because, although You'er is not the person you love, he can protect you all your life and let you live well - this may be the reason why your mother insisted on getting You'er to agree to marry you until she died. Can you understand her painstaking efforts? ”

Shui Qingqing was entangled and painful in her heart, she did not agree to the marriage with Li You, not only because her heart was given to Mei Zijin, but also because of her past.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers have been living among the people since they were children, mingling in the market and countryside, and they have been Chongxi ladies before...... Not worthy of the Third Highness at all. Your Highness can marry a better princess......"

"You'er is willing to accept you, what do you have to worry about? You'er kept her promise and was willing to marry you, and I was very pleased. If he dislikes you because of some of your previous bodies, I will despise him. ”

Emperor Jin Ming said solemnly: "What you said just now, I should not have heard it, and you should not mention it again."

After that, Emperor Jin Ming turned around and left, Shui Qingqing was weak, and stood with the trunk of the tree in a prostration, and went to Chuxiu Palace in despair and despair for a long time.

Returning to Chuxiu Palace, Shui Qingqing returned to the side hall in despair, and stepped into the palace door only to find that Li You and Queen Chen were missing from the side hall, but saw Mei Zijin and Princess Leyi sitting there drinking tea.

It turned out that after Shui Qingqing sent Imperial Doctor Sheng away, Empress Chen asked him to send Lord Linrou back to Cining Palace under the pretext of asking Li You to ask the Queen Mother for peace.

And Princess Leyi appeared here at this time, but it was Li You who quietly sent someone from the palace to summon her before, and asked her to go to the imperial study to invite Mei Zijin to come to the queen's Chuxiu Palace to have lunch with them.

Avoiding them in the Imperial Garden before, I didn't expect to meet them here again, Shui Qingqing was slightly stunned, didn't think about it, and was about to withdraw from the side hall, but Princess Le Yi had already seen her, her eyes looked at her coldly, and the disgust on her face arose, and she called her out loud, deliberately angry with her: "Where are you going?" The third brother went to play with Sister Linrou, don't disturb them. ”

Princess Le Yi looked down on Shui Qingqing from the bottom of her heart, coupled with the snow wolf dog she had killed her before, and the rumors about her and Mei Zijin, all of which made her hate Shui Qingqing more and more, and at the same time, she was upset for Li You, thinking that Shui Qingqing was not worthy of him at all.

Mei Zijin, who had been drinking tea with a cold face with a bowed head, heard Le Yi's words, and unconsciously raised her eyes to look at Shui Qingqing, and when she saw her standing at the door of the hall in a dilemma, her deep eyes were as deep as an abyss, and there was no end in sight......

Thinking of Emperor Fang Jinming's rejection of him, Shui Qingqing had no last glimmer of hope in her heart, and her heart was like ashes.

She didn't dare to look at Mei Zijin's eyes, pressed the grief in her heart, and said lightly: "The princess and the marquis are here, I can't disturb them."

After that, she withdrew from the hall and was about to leave, but Empress Chen walked over accompanied by Red Sleeves, who was holding a bowl of thick black decoction in her hand.

Looking at the face in front of her that was exactly the same as that of Princess Wuning, every time Empress Chen took a second look, her heart would be clogged, and then she thought of Shui Qingqing's 'chance encounter' with Emperor Jin Ming in the Imperial Garden, Empress Chen's heart was even colder, and her apricot eyes were shining.

Eyes swept towards Mei Zijin in the hall, and then looked at Shui Qingqing's gray eyes, Queen Chen smiled coldly in her heart, but with a kind smile on her face: "Where are you going when you just come back?" Aunt has asked Red Sleeves to boil the medicine for you, so drink it while it's hot. ”

With that, he took the lead and walked into the temple.

Seeing this, Shui Qingqing had no choice but to follow her into the hall.

In front of everyone, Empress Chen personally handed the medicine bowl to Shui Qingqing, and said with a smile: "The symptoms of wind and cold can be big or small, and they can't be delayed, so you hurry up and drink the medicine, don't make the illness more serious."

Hearing that Shui Qingqing had a cold, Mei Zijin's eyes dimmed again, but she didn't say anything, and sat silently drinking tea with her head down.

And Shui Qingqing looked at the medicinal juice handed over by Queen Chen, and her heart flashed with vigilance, but she couldn't refuse, so she had to grit her teeth and drink it.

When Shui Qingqing drank the medicine, Li You happened to come back from Cining Palace, and when he saw Mei Zijin and Le Yi in the palace, he smiled coldly in his heart, and went straight to Shui Qingqing's side, personally took a piece of sweet cake from the plate sent by the palace people, handed it to Shui Qingqing's mouth, and said with a smile: "Ah, open your mouth, it won't be bitter if you eat a sweet cake."

Being fed by Li You in front of everyone, Shui Qingqing felt uncomfortable, her face was even more flushed, and she snorted: "Your Highness, I'll just come by myself......"

After that, his eyes were no longer free and looked at Mei Zijin, who was sitting opposite.

Li You smiled unmindingly: "Are you shy?" We are about to get married, and there are no outsiders here, Leyi and Wufei are all from their own families, and there is nothing to do. ”

After that, he insisted on sending the sweet cake in his hand to Shui Qingqing.

Shui Qingqing's face was red, so she had to open her mouth in a panic to pick it up.

However, just when the sweet cake in Li You's hand was about to be put into Shui Qingqing's mouth, he suddenly felt a tightness on his wrist, and the hand holding the sweet cake was suddenly caught.

Li You looked back in surprise, but he didn't expect that the person who stopped him was Mei Zijin, who had been drinking tea silently!

Immediately, anger swelled up on Li You's face!

And Shui Qingqing also opened her eyes wide, looking at Mei Zijin with an iron face in a daze, and was stunned......
