Chapter 67: The maid in front of the sedan chair

ChineseHearing this, Lou Yue and Su Liuying were stunned. Mrs. Lou didn't expect that Queen Lou would really handle this matter impartially.

Although she was angry with Su Liuying in her heart, she cared more about her grandson, and was afraid that if Queen Lou really investigated, she would sit on Lou Yue's crime of deception, which was not the result she wanted to see.

However, it was she who came to the queen to ask for Su Liuying's disposal, but now she wants to speak again to dissuade her, but she is contradictory and slaps her in the face.

Angry and anxious in her heart, Mrs. Lou thought about Su Liuying's humiliation of the Lou family's refusal to marry four years ago, and then thought that today's events were all because of her, and her heart was full of anger, and she couldn't help but suddenly get up and rush to Su Liuying, and the dragon head cane in her hand slashed her head and face.

The hard wooden staff landed on Su Liuying's head, and the blood flowed in an instant. The sudden change, even if he reacted as quickly as Lou Yue, he didn't have time to stop the old lady's dragon cane.

Because he didn't expect his grandmother to suddenly attack Su Liuying. Looking at Su Liuying, who was lying in a pool of blood, even if she was as calm as Queen Lou, she panicked instantly, and asked Yingluo to call the imperial doctor, while saying anxiously to the old lady Lou who was panting

"Mother, how can you suddenly do something to her? I said that I would leave it to my daughter...... There was an accident in the cold palace last night, in case you beat her to death in this Yongkun Palace with a rod this morning, how do you let your daughter give an account to the emperor and the queen mother? When Queen Lou saw that her mother suddenly became troubled, she knew that she didn't want to investigate Su Liuying's exit from the palace by herself, and she was afraid that if it was verified, Lou Yue's crime of deception would be confirmed, so she just took advantage of the situation to stop Yingluo and asked her to call the imperial doctor.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lou's worries were put down, but she refused to admit defeat

"Hmph, a little palace maid, if she dies, she dies. I can't afford this crime, Mrs. Fate! Lou Yue took Su Liuying into her arms, and covered the wound on her head with her hands in a panic, her face turned white.

If someone else did this to Su Liuying, he would have killed her a long time ago. But this person is his grandmother, and he can't help it at all.

Angry and hateful, his teeth creaked, and his tone was extremely gloomy,

"Old lady, take my life with you. Otherwise, if she dies, I will die with her! After that, ignoring the old lady Lou, who was so angry that her body was shaking, she picked up Su Liuying and rushed straight out.

Seeing that he was going to take people away regardless of it, and Su Liuying in his arms was like this, Queen Lou couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly stopped him and persuaded him with good words

"Now is not the time to be angry, it is important to save people. You quickly carry her to the side hall and let the imperial doctor help her bandage her wounds. Looking at the blood on his hands, Lou Yue's heart was painful, and he strode towards the side hall with Su Liuying in his arms.

The imperial doctor arrived in a while, but it was Lin Yan, who had just been reinstated. When the palace maid of Yongkun Palace went to the Tai Hospital to call someone, she only said that someone fell and broke her head, but Lin Yan didn't expect that the person who broke her head was Su Liuying.

How could she appear in Yongkun Palace and hurt her head? Looking at Lou Yue, who was standing on the side with a gloomy and anxious expression, Lin Yan seemed to have guessed something in his heart, but at this time, he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Su Liuying check the wound.

Fortunately, the wound was not too deep, Lin Yan quickly medicated her hands and feet, bandaged it, and then carefully told her to be careful about touching the wound during this time.

Lin Yan had a lot of questions and worries in his heart and wanted to say to Su Liuying, but seeing Lou Yue staying by Su Liuying's side inch by the eye, he had to repeatedly tell her to take care of herself and retreat first.

As soon as Lin Yan left, Lou Yue looked at Su Liuying's pale little face, and the panic in his eyes, his heart was full of pity and guilt, and he said in a deep voice

"I will go to my aunt to explain this matter, so that she will not pursue your exit from the palace again, and I will ask her again to let you out of the palace!" Thinking of her sister kneeling in the snow, thinking of Mrs. Lou's hatred for herself, Su Liuying knew that she could no longer have anything to do with Lou Yue, but when she thought that the matter of Lu Mo had not yet been clarified, Concubine Ning was still waiting for herself to find out the truth and return her innocence, as well as Princess Linglan, who must be even more eager to help her find out the real murderer to avenge her mother when she was suffering the pain of losing her mother...... And these, only on the premise of saving his life, can he see green foam when he goes out of the palace to be clear.

Thinking of this, she said in a hoarse voice

"So, I would like to thank the prince in advance." In the morning, when she was in the palace, she also sternly refused his help, and Lou Yue was worried that because of her grandmother's harm to her, she would be even more disgusted with herself, but she didn't expect her to change her attitude.

Before she had time to guess her thoughts, Queen Lou personally came over to inquire about Su Liuying's injury, and saw that she was just kowtowing her head and there was no big problem, so she couldn't help but relax and said to Lou Yue

"Let her recuperate here, and you can send the old lady out of the palace and back home!" Queen Lou is willing to take care of Su Liuying, but Lou Yue is much more relieved, he has always been worried that she will be murdered by the real murderer if she stays in the palace.

He respectfully thanked Queen Lou and said

"Thank you aunt for your kindness, and my nephew will remember it." Queen Lou looked at him and sighed

"You've been so good since you were a child, and you've never worried your aunt about anything. But now you're worrying my aunt. ”

"If you are not at peace in the house, everything else will not go well. And if you want the old lady to calm down her anger, you have to take care of the inner house first, so that the old lady can rest assured. Queen Lou's words convinced Lou Yue in both emotion and reason.

He nodded silently and sent the old lady out of the palace. As soon as Lou Yue left, Queen Lou also returned to the front hall, and as soon as she sat down, the palace maid Yingluo came back from outside with a cold face.

She walked straight to Queen Lou and whispered in her ear

"Niangniang, the slave maid found out, she left the palace yesterday evening, and it was the token of Changxin Palace that came out of the palace." Queen Lou was drinking bird's nest porridge, and when she heard the announcement, her face was calm, and she didn't have a trace of surprise, so she asked

"Have you found out what she did when she left the palace? Who have you seen? Yingluo said

She went straight to the palace when she left the palace, asking to see the prince and Nanshan, but was blocked from the palace by the maids beside Concubine Su. Later, she went to her family's old house and returned to the palace, but in the end she did not enter the palace...... "The hand holding the spoon was slightly sluggish, and Queen Lou said

"Go on." Yingluo carefully glanced at Queen Lou's face, swallowed her throat and said carefully

"Later...... Da Sima found her, and the two ...... The two hugged and hugged on the street, and finally they were taken back to the palace by the prince for some reason......" Hearing this, Queen Lou completely lost her appetite, put down the bowl and spoon and said with a solemn face

"You don't have to let Rong Qing know about this. She is going to marry Li Xiu during the festival, so as not to make her feel sad, and she can't make any more trouble at this moment. You must keep an eye on it, and you must ensure that the princess gets married smoothly! Yingluo responded with a solemn expression, and then asked questions later

"Niangniang, the ...... of the side hall" Queen Lou didn't raise her head, and said coldly

"This palace said that before Rongqing's wedding, there should be no more chaos. You've been following me for so many years, don't you still understand the meaning of my words?! Hearing this, Yingluo's whole body sank, and she didn't dare to say a word, so she bowed down and retreated.

Here, Queen Lou asked Yingluo to hide Su Liuying and Li Xiu from Rongqing in case Rongqing's marriage went wrong.

But on the other hand, Princess Rongqing, who received Li Xiu's letter early in the morning, came to Yongkun Palace to find Queen Lou with red eyes.

Li Xiu never took the initiative to find Princess Rongqing, and he had never written a letter to Princess Rongqing in the past four years.

The moment she took the letterhead, Princess Rongqing was overjoyed, and once thought she was dreaming. But when she opened the letterhead and saw the contents inside, her happy heart instantly fell into an ice cellar, and she couldn't rejoice anymore...... Queen Lou has been busy for so long, her temples are swollen and painful, but when she saw Rong Qing, she still smiled dotingly

"This girl who is about to get married, why can't she still have red eyes? You are the eldest princess, a model of princesses, your words and deeds must be decent, and you must not let people see jokes. "These words, Queen Lou taught from childhood to adulthood, Princess Rongqing has something that she doesn't understand.

But she was so uncomfortable in her heart, but she couldn't maintain her dignity and elegance as usual. When he arrived in front of his mother, his tears fell uncontrollably.

Seeing her crying sadly, Queen Lou was shocked, silently glanced at Yingluo next to her, and asked her with her eyes, did Li Xiu let her know about her private meeting with Su Liuying last night?

Yingluo shook her head almost inaudibly. Queen Lou's heart was put down for half a minute, and she stepped forward to take Rong Qing's hand and sit down on the soft couch together, frowning and asking

"What happened to make you so sad?" The more Queen Lou asked, the more Rong Qing cried, but she still refused to tell Queen Lou what happened.

Seeing this, Queen Lou looked at Qingxing, who was following Princess Rongqing, and said coldly

"What the hell is going on?" Qingxing was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down in front of the queen and told her everything.

It turned out that Li Xiu, who was absolutely rejected by Su Liuying, didn't sleep all night. After thinking about it all night, he wrote a letter to Princess Rongqing.

It was not so much a letter as a statement of his attitude and determination to her. Li Xiu told Rong Qing in the letter that he was willing to marry her, but he wanted to marry Su Liuying as a flat wife...... After listening to Qingxing, the hall fell into a dead silence, except for the sobbing sound of Princess Rongqing, Queen Lou and Yingluo were so shocked by this matter that they couldn't speak for a while.

Princess Yan got married, but she had to enter the door on the same day as another woman, if this matter came out, I was afraid that she would laugh off the big teeth of the world.

And not only will people laugh, but what makes Queen Lou and them even more uneasy is that Li Xiu is so infatuated with Su Liuying, if he really gets his wish, let Su Liuying enter the door as a flat wife, in the future, I am afraid that Li Xiu will spoil her alone, thus snubbing Princess Rongqing...... The more she thought about it, the more heavy Queen Lou's face became.

Rong Qing cried in despair

"Mother, what am I going to do?" Queen Lou was annoyed that Li Xiutai didn't take her precious daughter seriously, but she didn't say anything on her face, frowned and asked in a deep voice to the two big palace maids beside her

"What do you think?" Yingluo has been by Queen Lou's side for many years, and in addition to being smart, she is also very good at guessing Queen Lou's thoughts.

She saw Queen Lou's frowning brows, and knew in her heart that the queen would never agree to Li Xiu's excessive request, let alone allow her daughter to be robbed of the limelight by other women on the first day of marriage.

Sensing the solemnity of the atmosphere, Yingluo carefully considered it in her heart before she spoke carefully

The slave felt that this matter was not only about the princess's reputation, but also about the royal prestige. Therefore, I must not agree to this ridiculous request of Da Sima! Hearing this, Queen Lou was noncommittal, and took a sip of the fragrant tea at hand.

Seeing this, Yingluo secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, knowing that she had said what Queen Lou was thinking.

Princess Rongqing said with red eyes

"If I don't agree, the colt will think I'm a narrow-minded person who can't tolerate anyone. He doesn't have much affection for me in the first place, and if there is a gap between us because of this, he will definitely not treat me sincerely in the future...... Besides, Liuying is my friend, so I should help her and make her ......"

"You have to help her, but you can't ruin your own happiness!" Queen Lou interrupted her words, her tone was low, and she said slowly word by word.

Hearing this, Princess Rongqing's whole body was shocked, and Li Xiu's infatuation for Su Liuying flashed in her mind, her face turned pale, and her heart suddenly hurt so much that she couldn't speak...... Looking at her like this, Queen Lou showed another figure in her heart.

And what happened to Rong Qing now is even more like everything that happened to her back then...... The sharp armor unconsciously squeezed tightly into the soft pillow at hand.

Queen Lou's heart was so suffocated that she waved her hand to Yingluo to open the window and let the cold wind from outside pour in.

The icy cold wind blew away the discomfort in Queen Lou's heart, and also made her swelling forehead sober up a lot.

The phoenix's eyes flickered slightly, and Queen Lou said slowly

"Today, there's only one way. You promised the concubine to let her go to the Li Mansion with you, but you can't be a flat wife. In this way, the colt will not complain about you. And without the identity of a flat wife, she will not rob you of your status. As soon as these words came out, Rong Qing's eyes lit up, his sad face darkened slightly, and he couldn't help asking

"That'...... is not a flat wife, but what identity do you want to give her to take her to the palace? Qingxing has always been unaccustomed to Su Liuying, and she couldn't even tolerate Rongqing calling Su Liuying into Xianyin Palace on an errand before, and now she doesn't want to see Su Liuying marry into Li Xiu with her own princess, and become the master who is a head above her.

Now when I heard Princess Rongqing's words, my eyes rolled, and I suddenly thought of something, and I couldn't help but smile proudly

"The slave has a good idea." Looking at the irrepressible smug excitement on her face, Queen Lou put down the teacup and said curiously

"What's your idea?" Princess Rongqing and Yingluo also looked at Qingxing with curiosity. Qing Xing sneered proudly

"Isn't the princess still lacking a maid in front of the sedan chair, so I'll reward her!" Dayong customs, from princesses and noblewomen, down to the daughters of large folk families to marry, there will be a sedan chair maid to follow the bride's sedan chair, and marry into the man's house with the bride.

is called the maid in front of the sedan chair, but it is actually a room girl who is given to the groom, and her status is lower than that of the bridal maid. Even if you are favored by the male protagonist in the future, you have no reputation, and you will always be a servant...... A trace of hesitation flashed on Rong Qing's face - with such an identity, I am afraid that not only Li Xiu will not agree, but Su Liuying will not agree either.

She understands her heart, and Su Liuying will not agree to be a girl who will never have an identity...... However, before she could speak, Queen Lou had already seen through her thoughts, and said slowly with a sigh

"Daughter, you may not know that Su Liuying violated the palace rules and was escorted back to the palace by your maternal grandmother, and now she is staying in the side hall behind here. And she is very likely to be involved in the case of Concubine Ning killing Concubine Chen...... She had already been caught in the terrible intrigue struggle of the palace. And now that Concubine Ning has fallen, she has no backstage, and she doesn't know how long she can last in this palace. Presumably, it was precisely because she understood her situation that she would make such a request at this time......" Queen Lou said that she stopped to drink tea and moisten her throat, and Yingluo continued after her words

"Yes, no matter what capacity the princess takes her out of the palace at this time, she is saving her life, and she won't blame the princess. And only in this way did she not press on the princess after she entered the mansion...... Princess, friendship is important, or love with the colt is important, please take care of it! Yingluo's last sentence completely dispelled the last trace of concern in Rong Qing's heart.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then finally nodded in response...... Su Liuying in the side hall didn't know that in the front hall not far from her, in this momentary time, her fate was decided...... When her head was not so dizzy, Su Liuying got up and went to the front hall to thank Queen Lou.

She knelt on the steps of the front hall, kowtowed inward, and said

"Slave and maid, thank you for forgiving the sin, and thank you for taking it in!" Queen Lou did not hold her accountable for spending the night outside the palace, and left her in the side hall to recuperate, which really made her grateful.

In the palace, Princess Rongqing, who had just decided everything with Queen Lou, had not left yet. Hearing Su Liuying's voice outside the hall, his heart trembled, and he almost knocked over the teacup on the small table.

Queen Lou reached out and pressed the back of her hand, motioning for Yingluo to come forward to see Su Liuying. Yingluo led the order to go out and said to Su Liuying

"Left and right, my mother, for the sake of the prince, will not embarrass you. You can go back, I have already said hello to you over there, and you don't have to be on an errand for the time being until you get better from your injury. Regarding the matter of letting Su Liuying be the maid in front of Princess Rongqing's sedan chair, Yingluo didn't say a word.

After Su Liuying thanked her again, she got up and left. Seeing her leave, Princess Rongqing said to Yingluo who returned to the palace

"Why didn't you tell her about the maid in front of the sedan chair?" Rong Qing really didn't have the face to open up to Su Liuying about this, so she wanted Yingluo to tell her.

Without waiting for Yingluo to answer, Queen Lou chuckled

"My silly daughter, tell her at this time what you are going to do if you let the colt know and come to you again?" Hearing what Queen Lou said, Rong Qing suddenly understood, pursed his lips and sneered

"The Queen Mother is right. It is really not advisable to let the colt and the fluttering firefly know about this matter too early, and hide it first......"

"Not only the horse, but you can't say anything in front of your cousin." Remembering Lou Yue's previous words that she would accompany Su Liuying to die, Queen Lou couldn't help but solemnly instruct Rong Qing.

After speaking, he turned to Yingluo Qingxing and said

"Before the princess gets married, only the four of us can know about this matter, and you all keep your mouths shut." Seeing the queen's serious expression, Yingluo and Qingxing hurriedly wrote it down.

Su Liuying didn't return overnight, and when she came back, she was injured on the head. Fortunately, someone from the queen's palace helped her greet her in advance, so the people in the bureau thought that she had something to do in Yongkun Palace last night, and they didn't suspect her, but saw that she could walk around the queen's palace now, and they came forward to greet her one by one.

Back in the house, Sui'er hadn't come back from an errand outside, Su Liuying remembered the agreement with Mama Lan, afraid that she would worry about herself, so she hurriedly took the cotton shoes, wrapped a headscarf on her head, covered the gauze on her head, and got up and went to the attic of Huaqing Pool.

When she went, Mama Lan was sitting in the attic and cooking the fire. Seeing her coming, Mama Lan put down her heart, got up and looked at her fixedly, and said

"Where did you go last night?" Su Liuying had told Mama Lan about her and Concubine Ning before, so she didn't hide it, and told her about Concubine Ning letting her go out of the palace to see Lu Mo before the accident.

Hearing this, Mama Lan's face darkened, and her face was not depressed

"Didn't you stop getting involved in their affairs, why did you turn your back and forget about it?" Thinking of what happened in the cold palace last night, Mama Lan secretly pinched her sweat, and before she could speak, she had already commanded in a deep voice

"From now on, you don't meddle in their affairs anymore, wait for two days with peace of mind, and wait for Mama to help you go to the queen to intercede." Thinking of the dead Chen Shu and Princess Linglan who lost her mother, and then thinking of the green foam who was cruelly cut off the root of her tongue, and Concubine Ning who was trapped in the deep palace, and Lou Yue, who unconsciously stepped into this game in order to help her, Su Liuying knew that it was too difficult for her to withdraw again - unless the real culprit was found.

But on the surface, in order not to worry Mama Lan, she nodded silently. took out the finished cotton shoes and sent them to Mama Lan, she smiled

"Mama try it, see if it still fits!" The upper of the blue-soled shoe is embroidered with the flower of the Western Desert - the celestial bell flower. Growing up in Bianzhou, this is the flower she is most familiar with, and it is also the first pattern that A-Niang taught her when she taught her to be a female celebrity.

Looking at the lifelike bellflower on the upper of the shoe, there was a flash of light in Mama Lan's eyes. The next moment, Mama took the shoes in her hand, gently stroked the pattern on the shoes and smiled

"The bell flower is very well embroidered this day, it looks so tight!" Hearing this, Su Liuying was slightly surprised, and couldn't help asking

"Does Mama know that this is a celestial bell?" Tianling flowers are only found in the Western Desert, and few people in the Central Plains know this kind of flower, but I didn't expect Mama Lan to recognize it at a glance.

When she asked, Mama Lan was slightly stunned, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and the next moment she smiled indifferently

"Every year, all over the country will pay tribute to all kinds of things into the palace, Mama has been in the palace for so many years, although I have not seen this flower of the Western Desert with my own eyes, but I have seen it in the embroidery of the tribute, there is no fuss!" Mama Lan said very reasonably, so Su Liuying no longer felt strange, squatted down and put on the shoes for Mama Lan herself, looking at the size of the foot, she couldn't help but rejoice

"The size is just right, so I'm relieved." When she lowered her head to help Mama put on her shoes, Mama Lan looked at the headscarf wrapped around her head, with a look of pity on her face, and sighed

"It seems that the news that you were beaten by Mrs. Lou this morning is true...... In the future, you should stay away from the Lou family! Hearing this, Su Liuying's whole body was stagnant - she deliberately wore a headscarf to cover the gauze on the wound on her head, just because she didn't want Mama Lan to worry about herself after knowing what happened in the morning.

But I didn't expect that the affairs of Yongkun Palace were hidden from others, but they couldn't hide from Mama Lan's eyes. Since the affairs of Yongkun Palace are known, presumably the reason why she was beaten also knows.

Thinking that Mama might be the same as Mrs. Lou, she misunderstood that she had seduced Lou Yue and didn't return to the palace, her face suddenly turned red, and she snorted

"Mama, there is nothing between me and the prince......" Seeing her anxious and embarrassed appearance, Mama Lan sighed helplessly in her heart, but said with a smile on her face

"Mama believes in you." After that, Mama Lan looked down at the shoes on her feet, smiled with satisfaction, and said

"I didn't expect your female celebrity to be good, not like her...... They were as bad as the other palace maids. Obviously feeling that Mama Lan had changed her words temporarily in the middle of her words, Su Liuying couldn't help but look up at her hesitantly.

Sensing the inquiry in her eyes, Mama Lan sighed slowly

"I waited for you last night, and what happened in the cold palace, Mama didn't sleep well all night. No, my mind is muddy, my speech is not smooth, and I am old after all, and I can't stay up late. With that, Mama Lan shook her head self-deprecatingly.

Looking at the tiredness on Mama Lan's face, thinking that because of herself, she had worried Mama for so long, Su Liuying suddenly felt guilty and uneasy, and hurriedly helped Mama Lan to lie down on the small bed, and said softly

"Now that I'm back safely, Mama shouldn't worry about me anymore and make up for it." Mama Lan did as she said, lay down and closed her eyes to rest.

Su Liuying helped her tuck the corners of the quilt, moved the charcoal basin to her bedside, and then carefully pressed the leeward window open a finger crack to let the smell of charcoal fire out.

After everything was done, she exited the attic, carefully closed the attic door and left. Hearing her footsteps walking away, Mama Lan, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes.

The next moment, she sat up again, bent down to pick up the brand-new cotton shoes neatly placed beside the bed, held them in her hand and looked at them for a long time, and let out a long sigh.

Getting up and going down to the ground, Mama came to a locked cabinet in the corner, took out the key she had with her, opened the cabinet, and put the new cotton shoes that Su Liuying had given her into the innermost dark compartment.

And the moment she opened the dark grid, she revealed a string of things inside - a string of Buddha beads of red sandalwood!
