The hall fell silent for a moment, and the cypress branches and rosin burned incessantly in the bronze furnace, and the milky white light smoke snorted outward from the hollowed-out lid.

Yu Lin glanced at Lu Yuan with an inquiring gaze, as if waiting for her to explain.

A little smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yuan's mouth, and slowly climbed up her smile, which reached the bottom of her eyes, but the smile was cold, it seemed that the queen came prepared this time.

She lightly lifted her lips and said slowly: "The concubine has the emperor's favor, and there is Jinse by her side, why bother to fornicate with a foreign man?" I wonder which one of those minions is the foreign man in their mouths? ”

The queen observed her words and said slowly: "The concubine seems to be the Imperial Doctor Jiang of the Tai Hospital. ”

Lu Yuan's heart was clear, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and she looked at the queen calmly.

Yu Lin sighed for a while, and said: "It is common for the imperial doctor to enter and leave the harem, how can you think that it is Concubine Ying's fornication?" ”

The queen's expression condensed slightly, and said: "If it is just an ordinary pulse regulation, it will definitely not cause others to gossip, but this Imperial Doctor Jiang seems to be particularly concerned about Ying Concubine, and he can't move every day to ask for a pulse, and all Ying Concubine's decoction must be personally watched and boiled and delivered, which seems to be different from others." ”

Yu Lin turned his head and glanced at Lu Yuan, and pretended to be relaxed: "These can't explain anything, the queen is making a big fuss." ”

The queen was stunned, and hurriedly said: "The concubine also thought so, but there were rumors that she saw Concubine Ying sewing clothes for Imperial Doctor Jiang in person, and the concubine couldn't sit still, so she rushed over to ask, but she was afraid that her sister was young and had the wrong idea." ”

Yu Lin's gaze fell on Lu Yuan's face, looked directly into Lu Yuan's eyes and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Lu Yuan smiled and said calmly: "The queen said that there was indeed such a thing, and yesterday the concubine happened to see that Imperial Doctor Jiang's robe was torn, and she sewed a few stitches, but she didn't want to be caught." ”

Yu Lin's eyes were complicated, and he couldn't tell whether it was shock, trust or suspicion, and there was a little more question in his tone: "Is it really just a few stitches that were sewn up?" ”

Lu Yuan's face was as calm as a bluster, and he said slowly: "The emperor doesn't know that Imperial Doctor Jiang is a classmate of the concubine's brother, and he has always treated the concubine as a sister, and the concubine also treats him like a brother, and he has no personal feelings. ”

When Yu Lin heard this, his face was slightly brighter, and he seemed to be relieved, and said, "Well, that's the case." ”

The queen smiled slightly, her eyes were like a wave, but there was a silver needle-like light hidden in the cotton: "The concubine is also willing to believe that Concubine Ying and Imperial Doctor Jiang are above board, but the cousins and sisters all have mutual love and admiration for Qin and Jin, not to mention that there is no family relationship, so Concubine Ying's words still can't completely clear the suspicion." With such a heavy snow yesterday, Imperial Doctor Jiang also came to ask for a pulse, which seemed to be too attentive. ”

Yu Lin was silent, his fingers clasped on the table intentionally or unintentionally, making a clicking sound, as if waiting for her to answer.

A burst of shock rose in Lu Yuan's heart, but his face did not show the slightest discouragement, he only looked at Yu Lin and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine and Imperial Physician Jiang are indeed innocent, please let the emperor know."

The queen said leisurely: "I'm afraid it's unfounded." ”

At this moment, Chunhua, who had been standing in the corner, suddenly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said, "Please the emperor and the queen mother, the reason why Imperial Doctor Jiang is in and out of the palace and takes special care of the Jingxi Palace is because, because..."

The queen looked at her and said, "Because of what, you should say it quickly." ”

Chunhua's heart was crossed, and he raised his head and said: "Because the slave maid and the Imperial Doctor Jiang are in love, in order to see each other more, he came more attentively, and it is also because of the relationship between the slave and the maid that he takes special care of Jingxi Palace." After speaking, her face was flushed, like peach blossoms blooming in March.

Yu Lin was deeply surprised and said, "What you said is true? ”

Chunhua hurriedly said: "It's true. The slave and maid have a token of love given by Imperial Doctor Jiang, if the emperor doesn't believe it, please take a look. As she spoke, she took out the jade left by Jiang Rong from her body and presented it to Lin with both hands.

Yu Lin leaned over and nodded, "Yes, I have seen this thing, it is indeed what Imperial Doctor Jiang wears on weekdays, and what you said is really good." Yuanyuan, do you know about the two of them? ”

Lu Yuan smiled slightly: "The concubine knows a few points, and she still wants to find a suitable opportunity for them to pierce this window paper and complete this marriage. ”

Yu Lin thought for a while, and then smiled: "It is reasonable for the two of them to be unmarried and unmarried, so I will be old for this month, what does the queen think?" ”

The queen was annoyed when she saw the sudden change in the situation, and when she heard Yu Lin's question, she hurriedly replied: "If the two of them are really happy with each other, the beauty of the emperor as an adult is a good story." ”

Yu Lin nodded and said to Chunhua: "Are you willing?" ”

Chunhua had red cheeks at this moment, lowered her head and said shyly: "The slave is from a humble background, so she is naturally not worthy of the position of the main room, and she is willing to be a concubine." ”

Lu Yuan thought about it, and then smiled: "The concubine has a good idea, and the concubine will recognize Chunhua as her righteous sister, so won't she be worthy of the title of the main room?" ”

When Chunhua heard this, she was surprised and delighted, and tears couldn't help but roll in her eyes.

Yu Lin also said: "This is a good idea, then I will make a will to give marriage, and you will do the rest." ”

Chunhua solemnly bowed to Yu Lin and Lu Yuan and withdrew from the hall.

Yu Lin stood up, his eyes swept over the queen's face and froze slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, and said: "The queen has always been calm and cautious, why is she so calm this time, listening to the wind is rain, she almost wronged Concubine Ying, and she should reflect on herself." ”

The queen was taken aback, quickly knelt down, and said apologetically: "It was the concubine who was reckless, please forgive the emperor, and please forgive Concubine Ying." ”

Lu Yuan hurriedly said: "No wonder Niangniang, it's hateful that those minions chew the root of their tongues." ”

Yu Lin said ruthlessly: "Those minions who are full of nonsense will each be slapped for twenty years and fined for three months." ”

The queen received the will, with a forced smile on her face, and left the Jingxi Palace unwillingly.

Yu Lin saw that there was no one around, so he casually took a peeled walnut from the plum table and put it in his mouth, pretending to be careless and said: "Yuanyuan, Fang Cai Chunhua's move won't be instructed by you, right?" ”

When Lu Yuan heard this, he only felt that his heart was suddenly sour, and the bottom of his tongue was so astringent that he couldn't turn it, so he had to reluctantly say: "Is the emperor suspicious of the concubines of the ministers and concubines of the palace and the darkness of Chen Cang?" Today's events happened suddenly, how could the concubines know that the queen would come to the door to ask for the guilt, and how could they plan in advance? When the emperor asked such a question, did he still suspect that the concubine and Imperial Physician Jiang had an affair? ”

Yu Lin lowered his head and thought for a moment, then smiled: "I just asked casually, don't take it to heart." It's not been a short time since I came out, it's time to go back to Chengming Palace, you can rest, and I'll come to see you another day. ”

After Yu left, Lu Yuan added a spoonful of sandalwood to the smoker with silver and copper chisel lotus petal bead pattern, and watched the smoke spread out between the heavy brocade tents, silently stunned.

Chunhua walked in, put a hot almond tea in front of Lu Yuan, with a worried face, and said, "Master, does the emperor not believe it?" ”

Lu Yuan picked up the almond tea, took a sip absentmindedly, and said: "The emperor has always been suspicious, whether you believe it or not, it has finally fulfilled your matter, and this is a happy thing." ”

Chunhua lowered her head and whispered shyly, "I don't know if Lord Jiang is willing or not?" ”

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Master Jiang is a person who values love and righteousness, you are infatuated with her, he will not be unaware, and he will not let your infatuation be wrong, and you are now my sister-in-law, and you are not bad in terms of identity." ”

Chunhua's eyes moistened, and she said in a low voice: "But the slave still wants to serve the master for a long time, if she marries..."

Lu Yuan snorted and laughed: "Silly girl, you can still serve by my side for a lifetime." When Mingqing got married, I said that I would also find a good person for you, and marry you out in style, and now there is a suitable person, you pour ink up, if you don't want to, then I will marry Comb Yue. ”

Chunhua hurriedly said: "The slave is willing." The slave maid is just worried that Mingqing and I are married, and there is no one to satisfy the master. ”

Lu Yuan straightened the straps on her chest and said, "You don't have to worry about these, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has picked up the good ones to make up, you just need to wait for the day to be the bride." Master Jiang has good character and knowledge, and he will definitely not disappoint you, and your good days are ahead. ”

Chunhua couldn't hold back any longer, tears fell, and she choked up: "Master, Chunhua thank you, your kindness Chunhua will never forget it for the rest of your life." ”

Lu Yuan took her hand, held it tightly, and said, "I should thank you, you helped me out of the siege, otherwise I would have been unable to speak clearly and would be in prison." Chunhua, I'm so happy that you also have a good home. ”

Outside the hall, the cold wind is biting, the dripping water becomes ice, in the hall, the fire is pure, the warmth is beaming, the master and servant are discussing the matter of marriage, laughing Yan Yan, and the music is Taotao.
