Xiao Gan took the bag of incense ashes given by the deacon and eunuch out of the palace, and when he returned to the general's mansion, it was already dark, and Xiao Qian entered the mansion gate and went directly to the dream garden in the backyard.

Ling Zhiqiao had already woken up after being forced to rest on the bed by Mama Qin, and was asking Mama Qin to change the dressing for her wrist and fix her wrist with a small bamboo strip again.

Hearing that the little servant came to report that General Xiao had returned from the palace, Ling Zhiqiao hurriedly got up to greet Xiao Qian.

She asked eagerly, "Uncle, is Your Majesty angry?" ”

Xiao Qian took the tea handed to him by Mama Qin and drank it and said: "If I am angry, how can I come back, Your Majesty is really as I said, he has a number in his heart, but it is only inconvenient to find out in order to restrict the relationship between all parties!" ”

"It seems that Your Majesty is still considerate of me!" Xiao Qian sighed as he spoke.

Ling Zhiqiao also said with a little relief: "Then uncle don't worry, I also sent a message to His Second Highness, and I told him!."

"Hey! How can I not be worried, fortunately, Your Majesty did not complain about my crime of bullying the king, and he also asked you to go into the palace with His Second Highness to see him tomorrow, Xiao Qian was talking with a worried face, and Ling Zhiqiao suddenly sneezed!

She frowned slightly, there seemed to be a question in her eyes, sniffing left and right like a puppy, and finally Ling Zhiqiao came to Xiao Qian's side and stopped and asked, "Uncle can go to a place other than the palace today?"

"Except for the early dynasty in the palace and the palace where I went to His Majesty just now, the old man is in the general's mansion for the rest of the time, and he hasn't gone anywhere, what's wrong?"

"But why do I smell a scent on my uncle's body?" Ling Zhiqiao sniffed again, and when she asked Xiao Qian, she remembered the bag of soothing incense ash that he had just asked the deacon and eunuch to wrap for him.

"Qiao'er, your nose is really smart, the old man forgot to say it when he came back just now, take a look, this is the soothing incense sent by the queen mother to His Majesty the Emperor's palace, saying that it can play a role in sleeping and smoothing the heart.

"The old man is just curious, he sent a piece of incense to His Majesty's palace for no reason, just like you, he sneezed several times, His Majesty never ordered these things, maybe because it was sent by the queen's mother! The old man who smoked had a pain in his brain, so he asked his father-in-law for some incense ash so that Qiao Er could distinguish it. ”

"I thought I'd let you see, it's best if there's no problem, if it's really something else added to it? That's to remind Your Majesty to be on guard. ”

Ling Zhiqiao carefully distinguished the incense ash, twisted it with her fingers and said, "Of course there is a problem, if there is no problem, I won't ask my uncle!" ”

"What? Is there really a problem? Xiao Qian became nervous.

It can be seen from this incense ash that this soothing incense must be added with cinnabar, although the cinnabar itself has the effect of calming the nerves and calming the nerves, but all the medicines are basically more or less toxic, and cinnabar is a kind of poison, also called constant poison, it is only a little more poison, and the dosage is only a millimeter difference.

The queen's mother must have been instructed by someone who understands, and occasionally smelling it once or twice can indeed play a calming role, but for some sensitive people, as long as they smell this fragrance, they will be the same as you and me, snotty or tearful.

"Uncle, you see that Mama Qin didn't sneeze, did you!"

Xiao Qian looked at Mama Qin and nodded: "Indeed, is Mama also insensitive to cinnabar?" ”

"Just like Your Majesty, I suspect he even thinks this soothing incense smells pretty good now." Ling Zhiqiao picked up the incense ash again, but she and Xiao Qian sneezed at the same time, and when Mama Qin saw this, she quickly put away the paper bag containing the incense ash, you still smell it poison, so don't throw it away.

Ling Zhiqiao hurriedly called out to Mama Qin: "Mama, don't throw it, don't throw it, this is evidence, keep it, just put it in the room where I loaded the medicinal materials, put it away, just mark what it is?" ”

Mama Qin's kung fu, Xiao Qian asked, "Then Qiao'er, what should I do now?" Do you want to inform Your Majesty that I will enter the palace now. ”

Ling Zhiqiao smiled: "Don't be in such a hurry, didn't my uncle say that His Majesty the Emperor will see me and His Second Highness tomorrow?" Just one night, not to. ”

"Since you said it's okay, my uncle is relieved, tomorrow I will accompany you to Lord Zhao's mansion, and then we will go to the palace together to find the Second Highness, and then go to meet Your Majesty!"

"Uncle, don't worry, I originally asked His Second Highness to be in his private residence tomorrow, and when I have something to discuss, this is not just the right time to go to the palace together!"

Xiao Qian said with a smile on his face: "Then I don't have to worry about him accompanying you, my uncle won't bother you, when I meet Your Majesty tomorrow, if Your Majesty asks you about it, you will tell the truth!" I don't hear you. ”

"I know uncle, that emperor Lao'er was still pierced by me and he pretended to be stunned!"

"What? You! ”

"That's right! That's me! I went down with the Second Highness to see him, and he pretended to faint unconscious, and I scratched His Majesty's foot before he woke up. ”

Xiao Qian stomped his feet; "My Jo'er, you're too bold! The old man must know that you scratched the heart of His Majesty's feet, so that he no longer pretended to be dizzy, I can't go today, if you don't say anything right, and it touches Your Majesty's lungs, it will be the nine clans of the General's Mansion. ”

Ling Zhiqiao said disapprerovingly: "Uncle, how can it be as serious as you say, I don't think His Majesty the Emperor is so terrible." ”

"Alas! You kid! Where is there a little shadow of Mengzhi, alas! Xiao Qian shook his head helplessly and walked away.

Ling Zhiqiao shouted in the house: "I am really Xiao Mengzhi's daughter, just like a fake!" Uncle, I didn't lie to you! ”

Mama Qin sent the general Xiao Qian away, returned to the attic and asked Ling Zhiqiao, "Miss, what's the matter, master?" ”

Ling Zhiqiao smiled: "Uncle said." I don't have a shadow of my mother. Really, Mama? ”

Mama Qin also sat down at the table and said, "Thanks to the fact that you are not a boy, if you are a son, don't go up to the house to uncover the tiles and demolish the general's mansion!" To say that you don't have the shadow of your mother at all is not necessarily. ”

"Tell me about it!" Ling Zhiqiao was very excited.

Mama Qin continued: "Miss, as long as you sit honestly and don't move, you really look like Mengzhi, but as long as you speak, oops! The old slave was thinking, what did the young lady do when she didn't come to the General's Mansion, how can you do anything, and you not only know, but also be able to speak. ”

Mama Qin's remarks made Ling Zhiqiao laugh even more: "I understand what Mama Qin means, you must think I'm verbose, right?" After that, I sewed a zipper on my mouth to tighten it tighter.

。

"What do you think?" Ling Zhiqiao's naughty expression made Mama Qin unable to beat or scold

The next day, at the house of Lord Zhao, Ling Zhiqiao was changing Zhao Qiyue's dressing, and Zhao Qiyue really followed Ling Zhiqiao's instructions completely, for the sake of her appearance, she could indeed endure anything, and she didn't even go out of the door of her boudoir.

Ling Zhiqiao changed the medicine for her, and told her again, she told Zhao Qiyue that if she had something to delay in the past few days, just let her change the medicine according to the method she taught her today, and wait a few days before the stitches can be removed

Zhao Qiyue nodded gratefully, she took Ling Zhiqiao's hand and said, "I heard my father say that he was going to hold a blessing banquet, and I don't know who this princess will choose?" ”

"What the is my sister doing with that heart? All you have to do is worry about your own wedding day. ”

"I'm worried about my sister, can you ignore my past of harming you, I also have to repay you, if you really choose Xiao Qinxue, it's nothing? If this princess chooses you, my sister still advises you to be careful everywhere. ”

Zhao Qiyue's only eyes showed concern, and Ling Zhiqiao comforted her:

"I still say the same thing, my sister just cares about her injury, don't worry about other things, it's not conducive to injury recovery!"

As soon as she heard Ling Zhiqiao say that it was not conducive to the recovery of her injury, Zhao Qiyue immediately shut her mouth, Ling Zhiqiao felt that Zhao Qiyue might not talk more in the next few days.

Out of the Zhao Mansion, Ling Zhiqiao actually saw Han Li standing outside, and she was pleasantly surprised: "Why are you here, Han Guard." ”

Han Li pointed to the carriageway next to him: "Of course I'm waiting for Miss Ling," someone can't wait to see you, so I have to come here and wait for you." ”

"Does it mean that my uncle went to a private house? Tell you you're going to the palace in a moment. Ling Zhiqiao thought of the conversation with Xiao Qian last night.

"Exactly, General Xiao has already told His Second Highness everything, so His Royal Highness has decided to come here and wait for you, please! Miss Ling.

Ling Ziqiao happily got into the carriage, and when he was about to go in, he didn't forget to turn around and say to Han Li: "Guard Han, you remember that you are free to give me your birthday today!" I'm going to the Taiwei Mansion to help you submit your name post. ”

In an instant, Han Li's face turned red, and he said, "Miss Ling, you are very positive about other people's affairs!" ”

"What is someone else's business, Han Guard, you will see this girl outside, your business is my business, but before Ling Zhiqiao finished speaking, she was dragged into the carriage by the neck of Twilight Yunhan in the carriage."

Ling Zhiqiao didn't stand firm on her feet, and almost fell into Twilight Yunhan's arms, only to see her slender jade hand reach out and grab the frame of the carriage door, so that she wouldn't completely fall backwards, but her foot stepped on one of Twilight Yunhan's feet fiercely!

Mu Yunhan frowned painfully, but he didn't move at all.

"Twilight, you loosen my collar."

Twilight Yunhan easily opened the hand that grabbed her neck collar, and then pressed against Ling Zhiqiao's waist and nudged Ling Zhiqiao to get up, she could be said to have been half-lifted by Twilight Yunhan before she finally stood firm!

Ling Zhiqiao suddenly turned her head and said to Twilight Yunhan with some resentment: "Why do you like to pull the collar of my clothes, I'm talking about the right thing, is it possible that you go to the Taiwei Mansion with your birthday to propose marriage!" ”

"What's wrong with that? Han Li is just like my family. ”

"Cut, then you will go tomorrow, Sister Liu'er can't wait."

She and Twilight Yunhan were arguing in the carriage, and Han Li's voice came from outside: "The two inside, now they are neither in the dream garden of the General's Mansion nor in the private residence, but on the most prosperous avenue in the capital leading to the palace, if you two really want to hand over the name card to your subordinates, keep a low profile!" I don't want people to poke me in the back. ”

"I see who dares!" Ling Zhiqiao and Twilight Yunhan said in unison.
