Chapter 37: Plans Disrupted
Lin Xueqi didn't stay much when she saw the banquet over, but when she left, she saw that Princess Liuyi, who had never drunk a drop of wine, was still sitting there drinking stuffy wine, exuding a melancholy atmosphere all over her body.
"Why don't you leave?" Mo Xichen came to Lin Xueqi's side, looked at her line of sight, and also saw Princess Liuyi.
"She can't drink anymore." Lin Xueqi shook his head, walked to her side, snatched the wine glass from her hand, and frowned, "I don't know what happened to you, but if you continue to drink like this, it will not be good for your health." ”
This was none of her business, but when she was a doctor, she couldn't tolerate anyone dying in front of her, and if she wanted to die, she would go to a place that was inaccessible, so she couldn't see it and couldn't care about it.
Mo Xichen saw that Lin Xueqi was not leaving, he also sat in his seat and stayed, looking at Lin Xueqi's back and drinking a cup of tea.
"Xueqi, give me the wine glass, you go back first, don't worry about me." Princess Liuyi stood up staggeringly, wanting to take back the wine glass, but was dodged by Lin Xueqi's figure.
She really doesn't know, what is so good about wine, just because she can use wine to relieve her sorrows? When she was drunk and had to be taken care of by others, she didn't remember anything when she woke up, it was like sleepwalking.
"You can't drink it anymore, it's not good for your stomach." Lin Xueqi put the wine glass on the table and beckoned some people to clean it up, but Princess Liuyi was held in her arms like a treasure, unwilling to let go.
"Don't, don't take it, okay? I'm begging you, Xueqi. Princess Liuyi's eyes were red from crying, and her voice was a little whimpering.
Lin Xueqi opened her mouth, but if she drank it like this, it would really kill her, she really didn't know what Princess Liuyi was crazy about, why was she so stubborn today!
She looked like this long before she came, and now is this an upgrade? What the hell is going on? What's going on?
She bit her lower lip tightly, she really didn't know how to make her put down the wine glass in her hand, she definitely didn't listen to what Princess Liuyi said, and drank it to herself.
"Leave her alone, let her drink like this." Mo Xichen took Lin Xueqi's hand, looked at her with his eyes, and silently asked for advice.
Lin Xueqi looked back at him and sighed, "How can you say that she is also your imperial sister, you can't ignore her." And I am a healer, and she will die, and she cannot die in front of me. ”
She has a narrow heart, but she is also principled, her profession is a healer, so it is to save people; When she was a poison doctor, killing people and poisoning people was her pleasure. But now she chooses to be a doctor, and in the face of such a stubborn 'patient', she must choose treatment.
Mo Xichen frowned, and knew that Lin Xueqi's determination at this time was unshakable, so he also gave up, pursed his lips to see what Lin Xueqi planned to do.
Lin Xueqi hesitated, watching Princess Liuyi drink cup by car, obviously she couldn't drink anymore and continued to die, obviously she didn't know how to drink but still forced herself.
What happened before the palace banquet that hit her so hard?
"Huh? Why don't you leave? Gu Mingyuan, the real little princess of the neighboring country, looked at Lin Xueqi, looking at her face wrinkled by trouble, she really felt how inferior she was at this time.
She can also dance, but she can't afford the title of 'dancing yuan', and she doesn't have the capital to serve it.
Mo Xichen didn't take care of the celebrity, and neither did Lin Xueqi, she kept frowning and looking at Princess Liuyi, her brain was spinning rapidly thinking of countermeasures.
Seeing that Gu Mingyuan was ignored, she was very angry, because no one in her country dared to ignore her like this, she was about to scold but was stopped by Gu Youqi, "Now they are in someone else's territory, not our country, besides, their status in the Mo Dynasty is comparable to that of the emperor." ”
was told this by her brother, Gu Mingyuan had no choice but to suppress the anger in her heart, turned her head, and was childish and unwilling to pay attention to Lin Xueqi and them.
Gu Youqi looked at Lin Xueqi's line of sight, knowing her distress, she shook her head helplessly, snatched Princess Liuyi's wine glass, and immediately provoked her to raise her head and want to take it, but when she saw the arrival, she was depressed.
"The taste of this wine is really good, but it's not good to drink too much, Princess Liuyi should hurry back to the garden and ask the maid to make a bowl of sobering soup." Gu Youqi sniffed it, then gave the wine glass to the person who was cleaning it up, and whispered to hurry up.
Princess Liuyi saw that the wine glass was gone, and she was a little distracted, and then picked up the wine on the side and wanted to drink it directly, but was broken by Gu Youqi's palm.
"Because a few words are like this, Prince Ben really doesn't know that your heart is so fragile. Drinking alcohol is a good idea, but it also depends on your ability to bear it. Someone came, and sent her back directly to the prince, and she was stunned if she resisted. Gu Youqi beckoned to a few strong men, and it seemed that this posture was bound to carry her back in a simple and rude way.
Lin Xueqi tugged at the corners of her mouth, turned her back to Gu Youqi and ordered: "Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your help, it's too late now, His Royal Highness the Prince, please go back, Wisteria Pavilion is a quiet and good place, you don't have to worry about where to live." As she spoke, she walked towards Songxi Garden.
Wisteria Pavilion is the same as Songxi Garden, it is a good place to be quiet, the only difference is that Songkei Garden is famous for its stream and seclusion, and Wisteria Pavilion is famous for its beautiful wisteria flowers.
Gu Youqi looked at Lin Xueqi's back as he gradually walked away, he stood still and didn't move, and he didn't come back to his senses until Gu Mingyuan reminded him that it was time to go.
Gu Mingyuan was very dissatisfied with her brother at this time, obviously everyone was a married woman, and she still missed others, and she just talked about her evaluation of Lin Xueqi from words, that is, she didn't like it.
"Brother, what's so good about that woman? Isn't it just that you look better and dance better? As for you? Gu Mingyuan pouted, looking sullen.
However, Gu Youqi wanted to avoid this question, he didn't look at Gu Mingyuan anymore and walked towards the Wisteria Pavilion.
Lin Xueqi, who was walking in front, suddenly looked back, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes, they did everything possible to live in the palace, but it disrupted her overall plan, and it seemed that she had to come up with another countermeasure.
"They're in the palace, and it looks like you're going to change your tactics too." Mo Xichen said it without being salty or light, and he didn't care about everything, but he was just duplicitous.
"Yes, we need to rethink the countermeasures." Lin Xueqi agreed with Mo Xichen's words, the original plan had been thought of, and as soon as they came, they really didn't know what would happen these days. If they don't get in her way, then she can still take revenge the way she was, if they get in the way......
Thinking like this, a killing intent appeared in Lin Xueqi's eyes, but after thinking about it, they were noble people from neighboring countries, and if something happened in the Mo Dynasty, it would definitely be blamed on them, and I was afraid that it would cause a war between the two countries at that time.
She doesn't like war, what's good about fighting and killing, war will kill people, and it will also make some children lose their fathers, she has experienced this feeling, so she doesn't want war.
"Do you need the king's help?" Mo Xichen saw her sad face, and her mouth turned faster than her brain, and as soon as these words came out, his heart was also shocked.
Lin Xueqi probably didn't expect Mo Xichen to say this, she shook her head with a smile, "No need, I've been bothering you all the time, and I owe you a lot of favors." ”
Mo Xichen saw that he was rejected, and he didn't continue, he knew that Lin Xueqi would definitely let him help in the future, because in this palace, he was the strongest in martial arts, and he was the only one who knew her secrets.
As soon as she walked to the door of Songxi Garden, Lin Xueqi saw a person pacing back and forth in front of the door, anxious, narrowed her eyes slightly, saw her face clearly, and found that it was Concubine Jin.
Lin Xueqi hasn't looked for her in the past few days, I'm afraid she is also anxious, after all, the queen's mother will be sick in a few days, and she also feels threatened.
As soon as she saw Lin Xueqi coming, she hurriedly walked over, and when she saw Mo Xichen, she let out a low alarm and asked him to be safe.
After all, Mo Xichen's prestige is far and wide, and even the emperor has to take care of him, even if he is his son. So these concubines also saw Mo Xichen and were afraid to die.
"Can the princess take a step to speak?" When she said this, a cold sweat broke out on Concubine Jin's back. Lin Xueqi is his princess, and when he came back, Lin Xueqi was still walking in front of Mo Xichen, and Mo Xichen was not to blame, which shows that the relationship is extraordinary.
Lin Xueqi looked back at Mo Xichen and said that he could go back to the house first, so he and Concubine Jin walked to a place where there was no one, and Concubine Jin explained the purpose of her coming.
"Xue Qi, look, the queen will be well in a few days, and the heirs of the palace will be thinner, what good countermeasures have you come up with?" As she spoke, she looked at Lin Xueqi with expectant eyes.
Countermeasure? She has been busy with some things these days, and she is still asked to think of countermeasures? "Concubine Jin, haven't you forgotten that this princess is Princess Huanyue, how can you call this princess by her name?"
Although Lin Xueqi was shorter than her, what she said was very weighty, and even Concubine Jin couldn't help but tremble physically and mentally.
"Princess, please stop being angry, Concubine Jin will not dare anymore." Concubine Jin suddenly knelt on the ground, cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Lin Xueqi snorted coldly, "Okay, thinking of your first offense, this princess won't be angry for the time being." The princess has already thought about it, so you can go back first and come to Songxi Garden at noon tomorrow. ”
With that, she brushed her sleeves away and walked back to Songxi Garden, where Concubine Jin was the only one left.
Back in the house, Lin Xueqi let out a sigh, "Can you sleep after the matter is done?" Mo Xichen's voice came from the table, Lin Xueqi looked towards that place, and crossed him to lie on the bed, "It's really tired, doesn't Lord Mo want to sleep with me again?" ”
Mo Xichen's face froze, and when he saw that his mind was guessed, he had to lie, "How is it possible." Why did the Ninth Princess have all this in her head? That's it, this king is back first, you rest early. ”
Lin Xueqi pursed her lips, "Walk slowly and don't send it." With that, she took off her red coat, put it on the hanger, put her shoes off the side of the bed, looked at the ceiling, and closed her eyes tiredly.
These days, she is indeed tired. In the morning, she tensed her nerves, and she did not dare to slack off in the face of everything, so that she could rest in the evening, but she had to think about her plans for tomorrow.
She was already physically and mentally exhausted, but she still held on. She is a healer, she knows the quality of this body, and if she continues like this, she probably won't be able to last a few days.
Thinking about it, drowsiness hit, Lin Xueqi got up and went to extinguish the oil lamp, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
