Chapter 152: Le Yi urged to marry

Shui Qingqing begged Li You to take her into the palace to take a look at Emperor Jin Ming, thinking that he would not agree, after all, she made this request, and it was more just to test Li You, but she didn't expect that he would actually agree.

In this way, Shui Qingqing couldn't understand him more and more.

Moreover, she clearly felt the light in his eyes that fell on her, with a different kind of deep meaning, which made her shudder.

However, in order to see Emperor Jin Ming, even if she was afraid and uneasy, Shui Qingqing still followed Li You into the hall without hesitation.

In the magnificent dormitory, it was dark at this time.

Although it was almost noon at this time, because the windows in the hall were covered with curtains, it was impermeable, and the dormitory was covered as if it were night, and it was dim.

In addition, there are several charcoal basins burning in the hall, which are very dark and stuffy, making people almost breathless.

As soon as Shui Qingqing entered, she smelled a strong bitter and astringent soup smell, which made people's hearts more and more stagnant.

On the soft couch by the window in the outer hall, the Queen Mother was lying down, accompanied by Lord Linrou.

Seeing the prince come in, Lord Linrou hurriedly got up and stood beside the queen mother, bent over and softly greeted the prince.

However, when she saw Shui Qingqing, who had followed the prince into the hall, her eyes suddenly tightened.

The Queen Mother also saw Shui Qingqing, and her tired expression couldn't help but swell with a trace of disgust, and she stretched out her hand to let the county lord of Linrou help her sit up.

Seeing this, the prince hurriedly stepped forward to catch up with Lin Rou, helped the queen mother, and said with a guilty face: "The grandson is not filial, so the queen mother is tired!" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Shui Qingqing, who stepped forward to greet her, and said coldly: "Why did she come in?" ”

Li Youpi smiled and said: "The county lord of Guanqing keeps saying that he is worried about his father, and he is not worried about his father, if he doesn't let her see him, he thinks that his grandson is plotting to kill his father - this crime, his grandson can't afford it!" ”

The Queen Mother snorted, took the tea handed by Li You, took a sip, and said coldly: "You are worried about your father's hard work day and night, and you have to worry about the affairs of the previous dynasty, filial piety can be learned from the sun and the moon, if someone dares to make up nonsense to slander you, the mourning family will be the first to let her go, and she will have to pull out her tongue to relieve her hatred!" ”

While speaking, the Queen Mother's eyes stared straight at Shui Qingqing, which was obviously meant to be said to her, and the words were even more unabashedly threatening.

Shui Qingqing listened silently with her eyebrows half-furrowed, her description was plain and silent.

Seeing this, Li You smiled coldly in his heart and said: "Since you are here, the county lord of Guanqing should go and see his father - I hope the county lord's filial piety can move heaven and earth and let my father wake up as soon as possible." ”

Shui Qingqing didn't pay attention to the ridicule in his words, bowed and retreated, and turned around and went to the inner hall where Emperor Jin Ming was.

The Queen Mother gave Li You a look and asked him to go with him.

Seeing Li You and Shui Qingqing entering, Lord Linrou also rushed into the inner hall.

The lights of the inner hall were even more dim than those of the outer hall, and the palace people saw that the prince led people in, so they hurriedly took the candlestick and followed it, and put the candlestick near the bed of Emperor Jin Ming.

And when they entered, the chamberlain was feeding Emperor Jin Ming to drink medicine, and when he saw them coming in, he hurriedly put down the medicine bowl and spoon and knelt down respectfully to say goodbye.

Li You waved them all back.

Shui Qingqing didn't care about anything else, and as soon as she entered, she looked eagerly at Emperor Jin Ming on the dragon couch.

Under the candlelight, Shui Qingqing finally saw Emperor Jin Ming, who had not been seen for many days.

I saw him lying quietly on the dragon couch, his face was calm, and his complexion was very normal, as if he was just tired and asleep at the moment.

Looking at the unconscious Emperor Jin Ming, Shui Qingqing's heart was sour, and her tears were endured by her gritted teeth before they were about to gush out.

Li You turned to the side and looked at her fixedly, and said coldly: "Does the county lord still have doubts in his heart?!" ”

Shui Qingqing carefully looked at Emperor Jin Ming from head to toe with her eyes, and said lightly: "The prince said that he laughed, I have any doubts there, but I can't help but worry when I see that the emperor has not woken up." Now that I see that the emperor is looking very good, I am even more relieved, and I believe that it will not be long before the emperor will wake up. ”

Shui Qingqing said this, but in her heart she felt more and more unusual-

Since Emperor Jin Ming has such a good complexion and is not sick, why hasn't he woken up for a long time?!

So, there must be something wrong with this.

Thinking of this, she pretended to look around unintentionally, and wondered: "Hey, why don't you see Eunuch Wu Yong?" The emperor has always been taking care of him, but now that the emperor is seriously ill, why is Eunuch Wu gone? ”

Without waiting for Li You to speak, the lord of Linrou County, who had been silent all the time, said: "The eunuch took care of the emperor every day, and he didn't sleep for several nights, and he also fell ill. The Queen Mother graced him and let him go down to rest. ”

Shui Qingqing smiled indifferently, her eyes swept lightly to the face of the county lord of Linrou, and said with a smile: "In this way, it is the hard county lord." Accompanying the Queen Mother here every day, even her face turned yellow, it was really hard! ”

Hearing this, Lin Rou's face changed in shock, and she hurriedly covered her face with her hand, and looked at Shui Qingqing's eyes with resentment and even jealousy.

The lord of Linrou is delicate, but his complexion is yellowish, not like the average noble woman, who has fair skin and can be broken by blowing.

She is well aware of her defect, and has been carefully holding the pearl powder to nourish it, hoping that diligence can make up for her clumsiness and raise a smooth and fair skin.

And under the care of precious pearls all year round, her skin is indeed much better than before, which also makes her cherish her appearance more and more, and maintain it more carefully.

But in the past few days, in order to accompany the Queen Mother in the Qianqing Palace, the county lord of Linrou has no time to do those delicate jobs on his face.

Just when she was worried that her skin was going to deteriorate, she happened to hear Shui Qingqing's words, but her face changed in shock, and she couldn't help but look at Li You in a panic, for fear that he would dislike her.

But at that time, Li You's eyes were staring at Shui Qingqing tightly, and he didn't even look at her, which couldn't help but make Lord Linrou's heart more and more sad.

From the moment Shui Qingqing entered the hall, Lord Linrou found that she was very different from before, the delicate peach blossom color on her face could almost pinch out the water, and her skin was white and pink, smooth and translucent, not to mention, it was even more delicate and moving.

But before, Shui Qingqing, who lived in the folk since she was a child and grew up doing hard work, was far worse than her.

Unexpectedly, in just half a year's effort, she was so much whiter and tender than when she first saw her in Chuxiu Palace, and it was far beyond her.

In this way, Princess Linrou became more and more flustered and unconfident.

Because she has always remembered that Shui Qingqing had been engaged to Li You before, and Li You spoiled her even more at that time, even if the two broke off the marriage contract by mistake later, the previous things were still remembered by the county lord of Linrou and always responded to her.

And now, seeing that Li You's eyes had been staring at Shui Qingqing, the sensitive Lord Linrou became even more sad and jealous.

However, she didn't know that after Shui Qingqing said that sentence to her, she had quietly moved closer to Emperor Jin Ming's dragon couch, so Li You stared at her nervously.

On the edge of the dragon couch, there is a white jade medicine bowl, which is the medicine bowl used by the people of Fangcai Palace to feed Emperor Jin Ming to drink medicine.

There was still a layer of yellow-brown medicinal juice left at the bottom of the medicine bowl, which seemed to be steaming.

Li You looked at Shui Qingqing nervously, thinking that she was going to get the white jade medicine bowl, and was about to step forward to stop it, but Shui Qingqing went straight past the sandalwood small table where the medicine bowl was placed, and knelt down on the foot step in front of the dragon couch of Emperor Jin Ming, and whispered to the unconscious Emperor Jin Ming: "Your Majesty, Guan Qing has come to see you, you must wake up early...... We're all waiting for you to wake up......"

Seeing that she didn't touch the medicine bowl, Li You's heart was relieved, and he looked at Shui Qingqing kneeling in front of the dragon couch with an indifferent expression, and said slowly: "My father has just taken the medicine, and the imperial doctor instructed me to let my father rest well at this time, so it is not easy to be disturbed, so the county lord should leave with the palace." ”

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing sat on the ground and got up, looked back at Li You, and when he saw the anger inadvertently revealed in his eyebrows, his heart was cold, but his face was meekly obedient to his words, and he withdrew from the inner hall of Emperor Jin Ming with him.

When she came to the outer room, the Queen Mother stared at her like a torch, and said coldly in a long voice: "The county lord can rest assured now?!" ”

Shui Qingqing narrowed her eyebrows and said slowly: "The Queen Mother is serious. The emperor has the queen mother to take care of it personally, but she is the most assured, and the courtiers dare not criticize. ”

"Heh, you don't dare!"

The Queen Mother didn't appreciate it, and said coldly: "Since you have seen the emperor, let's step down, so as not to upset the mourning family." ”

Shui Qingqing retreated according to his words and left the palace of Emperor Jin Ming.

Coming to the light again, the clear fragrance of plum blossoms was breathed between her noses, and Shui Qingqing's chaotic mind was much clearer.

She couldn't help but think that if Emperor Jin Ming's bedroom was closed like this, even if he was not a patient, even if a normal person stayed there for three or five days, he would not be able to get sick, which would not be good for Emperor Jin Ming's body at all.

But perhaps, this is exactly what the prince wants to see.

Thinking of this, her desire to save Emperor Jin Ming became stronger and stronger.

Li You came out behind her, accompanied by the delicate county lord Linrou, only to hear the prince gently speaking to the county lord of Linrou, which seemed to be 'hard work' and 'good rest'.

Shui Qingqing's heart was cold, since the county lord of Linrou couldn't stand it here, how long could the queen mother last?

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Shui Qingqing did not leave the palace and returned to the Hou Mansion, but went to Liangfeng Terrace.

The crown prince, who was walking behind with the county lord of Linrou, although he had been talking to the county lord of Linrou with gentle words on his face, his eyes had been coldly looking at Shui Qingqing's whereabouts.

Seeing that she did not go in the direction of leaving the palace, but in the direction of the harem, Li You's heart became more and more cold, and she turned around and asked Ru Mama to tell the Queen Mother that in the days ahead, more and more careful precautions should be taken, and others could not step into the Qianqing Palace at will to see Emperor Jin Ming......

Emperor Jin Ming said to Shui Qingqing before that the cool breeze platform would always be kept for her, so that she would treat this place as her maiden home, so everything in the cool breeze platform is the same, and the palace people are abiding by it, and it is not unusual to see her come back.

As soon as she returned to the house, Shui Qingqing retreated from the palace people around her, and hurriedly took out her silk from her pocket to look at it.

Xiaoxi didn't know what to do, and when she saw a few brownish stains on Shui Qingqing's snow-white silk handkerchief, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Miss, this silk handkerchief was obviously clean when it was taken out this morning, why did it become like this?" ”

While speaking, Xiaoxi couldn't help but step forward to get the silk handkerchief in Shui Qingqing's hand, and wanted to help her wash it, but was blocked by Shui Qingqing.

Shui Qingqing looked at the stains on the silk handkerchief with heavy eyes, and said in a condensed voice: "This can't be washed." This is a medicinal stain that I finally got from the Qianqing Palace, I hope it will help Lu Lin. ”

Xiao Xi came to his senses and said in surprise: "Miss is saying that the medicine stains on this are the medicine that the emperor drank......"

Shui Qingqing nodded and clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand tightly.

It turned out that after Fang Cai entered the inner hall of Emperor Jin Ming's bedroom with the prince, Shui Qingqing saw the water stain marks sprinkled on Emperor Jin Ming's dragon couch feet, and she guessed that it must have been accidentally spilled when Fang Cai's inner attendant fed Emperor Jin Ming to drink medicine.

And after the chamberlain saw the prince and them go in, he didn't have time to clean up, and was waved back by Li You.

After seeing the spilled medicinal stains, Shui Qingqing instantly thought of something in her heart, and took advantage of the kung fu to talk to Emperor Jin Ming, and quietly wiped the medicinal stains with the silk handkerchief in her hand and brought them out......

Before, she looked at the tight guards of the Qianqing Palace, and was still worried about how to let Lu Lin know about Emperor Jin Ming's illness.

Now, she got the stains of the decoction taken by Emperor Jin Ming, although there were only a few drops, but she also had a glimmer of hope, hoping that Lu Lin, with his superb medical skills, could distinguish from the smell and taste of the stains what medicine the prince had given Emperor Jin Ming, so as to introduce what illness Emperor Jin Ming had obtained and how to save him......

Holding the handkerchief in her hand, Shui Qingqing said excitedly: "Now, I just want to find a way to meet Lu Lin and give him the handkerchief." ”

Xiaoxi looked at her frowning and worried, and said with a heartache: "Miss, you haven't eaten since you left the house in the morning, and now it's noon, let's have lunch first-find a way when you're full." ”

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing smiled bitterly: "Well, I'm really hungry, let's eat first." ”

Xiaoxi hurriedly went out and instructed the palace people to prepare lunch, but Shui Qingqing pinched the silk handkerchief and stood in front of the window, looking in the direction of the East Palace, frowning.

Although she spoke easily in front of the prince before, she didn't seem to be worried about Liu Yin at all, but in her heart, she was afraid that Liu Yin would have an accident like Liu Jing again.

Thinking of what Liu Yin said when she stopped her on the long street that day, Shui Qingqing still feels extremely sad and guilty.

Liu Yin said it well, if it weren't for her, the nameless eldest brother or now married her, Brother Wu would not have died, and even Emperor Jin Ming would not have been unconscious......

Nothing will turn out to be what it is now.

And if this time, Liu Yin and Nameless have another accident, she will have a disturbed conscience for the rest of her life, and she will live in deep guilt and blame for the rest of her life.

Therefore, this time, no matter what, she has to find a way to wake up Emperor Jin Ming, so as to save Nameless and Liu Yin......

However, in just three days, under the noses of the crown prince and the queen mother, how can she wake up Emperor Jin Ming in the Qianqing Palace? !

Thinking of this, Shui Qingqing's mood became unusually heavy, and she didn't think about tea and rice more and more, even if Xiaoxi prepared a table of meals, she simply drank a bowl of red date porridge and put down her chopsticks.

Xiaoxi came in from outside and whispered in her ear: "Miss, I have just observed, since we left last time, there have been many new people coming in this cool breeze platform, and these newcomers, I am afraid that they were all sent by the prince to monitor us, since we came back, there have been several pairs of eyes in this courtyard have been staring at us......"

Shui Qingqing nodded knowingly, and sighed: "That's why I'm worried, how can I not let people find out and see Lu Lin." ”

Xiaoxi thought for a while and said, "Miss, it's better to avoid the eyeliner here and go to Jingren Palace to find Concubine Xian, after all, she is more familiar with the harem than us, and she will find a way to help us send things to Dr. Lu." ”

Shui Qingqing also had this intention, so after lunch, she led Xiaoxi to Jingren Palace of Concubine Xian again.

Just sat down, Shui Qingqing was about to talk to Concubine Xian about the silk handkerchief, but unexpectedly, the fifth princess Le Yi came to Jingren Palace with her front and back.

Suddenly seeing Le Yi in Jingren Palace, Shui Qingqing was quite surprised, but Princess Le Yi was not surprised at all, it seemed that she came prepared for Shui Qingqing.

Concubine Xian looked at Princess Leyi who suddenly appeared, and was also very surprised, and after beckoning her to sit down, she politely asked, "Is there anything wrong with the fifth princess coming over?" ”

Princess Leyi looked at Concubine Xian's strangeness and politeness to her, but she was intimate with Shui Qingqing, and the anger in her heart became more and more churning.

Liu frowned slightly, Princess Leyi's eyes swept coldly on Shui Qingqing's face, and when she saw her ruddy and delicate face, she thought that Lin Rou's words were really true, she went back to the house for a few days, and she was afraid that she was very affectionate with Mei Zijin, so she developed such a good complexion.

And Lin Rou and Le Yi are both brides-to-be who are about to get married, and some grandmothers have already told them about some things in the boudoir of the husband and wife, so they naturally understand what is going on with Shui Qingqing's suddenly delicate face......

Thinking of this, Princess Leyi's heart bubbled sourly, angry and hateful, and her tone was also full of sourness.

She said unhappily: "What, does the virtuous lady think that this princess came here to disturb the time between the princess and the county lord?" It seems that not only her father favors her, but her mother also favors her, so that we, the princesses, have no place to stay. ”

Princess Leyi's words were a bit heavy, and Concubine Xian couldn't help but get up to take her hand, and coaxed with a smile: "The princess is all about to marry and become Mrs. Hou, why are you still jealous like a child?" What's more, I still eat such a flying vinegar that does not exist - the princess is her own family, and the county lord is an outsider, of course, the palace must treat the guests first, and your own family will be more casual. ”

The sentence 'Mrs. Hou' made Le Yi very useful.

She pretended to sit down opposite Shui Qingqing, looked at Shui Qingqing with provocative eyes, and deliberately raised her voice and said: "This princess came here today to discuss my marriage with Xian Niangniang - now that my father is sick, the Queen Mother has to guard her father and can't spare time, so I can only come to Xian Niangniang to discuss." ”

Concubine Xian knew the purpose of Princess Leyi's coming over at this time, she deliberately wanted to talk about her marriage to Mei Zijin in front of Shui Qingqing, and she came to attack Shui Qingqing.

In this way, Concubine Xian couldn't help but look at Shui Qingqing opposite worriedly, but Shui Qingqing just sat silently with her eyes closed, and after hearing Princess Leyi's words, she didn't lift her eyelids.

Concubine Xian was heartbroken with Shui Qingqing on the one hand, but on the other hand, she had no choice but to follow her words: "Your family affairs were handled by the former queen before, and the palace took over the harem at the beginning of the year, and was busy with other things, so I was indeed negligent, and I don't know what the princess's marriage lacks." It's better for the princess to explain to the palace what else is needed, and the palace will immediately help the princess to do it. ”

In fact, everything needed for Princess Leyi's marriage has already been completed, and what is missing is that the specific wedding date has not been determined, which makes Leyi, who hates to marry, very anxious.

Glancing at Shui Qingqing again, Princess Leyi straightened her waist and said proudly: "The Queen Mother said that it was not peaceful in the palace recently, so I wanted to advance the marriage of this princess, which can be regarded as a joy for the palace, so the specific time is ...... ...... yet to be decided"

Concubine Xian understood the meaning of her words, and she couldn't help but laugh in her heart, she was also a royal princess, and she was urging her to marry!

On her face, Concubine Xian smiled gently: "Well, this palace understands what the princess means, and will ask the Ministry of Rites to pick a few good days nearby, and then ......discuss it with the Hou Mansion."

"Is the fifth princess so anxious to marry into the Hou Mansion?"

Suddenly, Shui Qingqing, who had been silent, interrupted Concubine Xian's words with an abrupt opening, and asked Le Yi coldly with mockery.

Princess Leyi came in anger at the instigation of the county lord of Linrou, just to find trouble with Shui Qingqing, but she didn't open her mouth before, no matter what she said, she sat silently and didn't answer, so Le Yi felt that her fist hit the cotton, but it didn't work, and she couldn't make trouble if she wanted to.

Now, Shui Qingqing took the initiative to ask about her marriage to Mei Zijin, and her words were sarcastic and disrespectful, how could Princess Leyi let her go, she was so excited that her body trembled, and she stood up with a breath, her sharp nails almost poked Shui Qingqing's eyebrows, and pointed at her and scolded: "It's not that the Hou Mansion has entered the fox spirit, seducing the Hou Ye every day." As the genuine lady of the Hou Mansion, of course, this princess must enter the mansion early to rectify the atmosphere, so that those cheap people know how powerful this princess is! ”

Shui Qingqing raised her eyes and looked indifferently at the sharp finger that poked in front of her eyes, raised her hand fearlessly to open Le Yi's fingers, hooked her lips and smiled lightly, and said with a smug smile: "I'm afraid that the Hou Mansion will not be able to spare time to marry the princess into the mansion in the near future-Hou Ye said, I still have to send a worship ceremony, and I will choose a good day before the year, and the scenery will be made up for me, so Niangniang should let the Ministry of Rites check the days after the New Year." ”

Shui Qingqing's sudden move, not only Concubine Xian Niangniang was surprised, but even Xiaoxi was stunned, not understanding why she suddenly got into trouble with Princess Leyi.

Before the change, Shui Qingqing would never take the initiative to provoke this unruly princess, and even sometimes Le Yi bullied her, as long as it was insignificant, she would expose it and ignore it.

But today, Shui Qingqing seemed to be a different person, and she actually provoked Princess Leyi.

Sure enough, Princess Leyi, who was furious, listened to Shui Qingqing's words, and instantly burst into a rage, so angry that she grabbed the teapot in front of her and threw it at Shui Qingqing, scolding: "Slut, you are actually ...... You actually have the face to ask the Hou Ye to hold a worship ceremony for you...... Do you dare to stop this princess from getting married...... You're shameless......"

The teapot and the tea inside burst into Shui Qingqing's face, Shui Qingqing did not avoid it, and let the teapot smash his forehead and the tea drenched all over......

Screams sounded everywhere, and Concubine Xian saw Shui Qingqing's forehead bleeding, and her body was also staggering to the ground, so she hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and asked the palace people to call the imperial doctor.

Shui Qingqing's brain was dizzy from being smashed, and her eyes gradually blurred, but she still tried her best to pinch Concubine Xian, and whispered Lu Lin's name in her ear.

Concubine Xian's whole body was shocked, and she instantly understood the true purpose of Shui Qingqing's move, and hurriedly called the palace people who were about to go out, and said to Liuli with a look: "You go to the Tai Hospital in person and find a reliable Tai Doctor, quickly!" ”
