Ling Zhiqiao repeatedly assured Han Li that he would not go to the Tiankun Fengyin to find out the truth, and Han Li went to the barracks to find General Xiao with confidence.

Ling Zhiqiao was depressed, and saw that Xiao Tao had prepared a medicine box and was waiting for her on the side, only to remember that the injured hand had not been changed yet.

She returned to the room and sat down at the table, Xiao Tao immediately put the dressing change things in place, Ling Zhiqiao could only raise her hand obediently and watch Xiao Tao remove the soft cloth.

After removing the soft cloth, Ling Zhiqiao moved her fingers and checked the place where the wound was stitched, and she said to Xiao Tao: "Remove the stitches today, you light the candle, burn the tip of the scissors, and bring it to me." ”

After Xiao Tao did so, she handed the scissors to Ling Zhiqiao and said, "Miss, after the thread is removed, will it be fine?" Doesn't it hurt anymore? ”

Ling Zhiqiao said to Xiao Tao with a smile while removing the stitches: "Of course it hurts when I dismantle it now, but I can bear it, didn't I say it before, suturing is to fix the edge of the wound together, since the flesh and skin are healed, the thread must be removed, and it will be enough to wrap a thin layer of soft cloth around the hand for a while, and you won't have to wrap it tomorrow." ”

Xiao Tao gave Ling Zhiqiao a hand, and when the thread to suture the wound was removed, she was extremely impressed: "Miss, you are really amazing!" ”

Ling Zhiqiao applied disinfectant herbal water on the wound again, and motioned for Xiao Tao to tie it around the palm of her hand with a soft cloth, and she moved her fingers to show Xiao Tao: "Look, it will be all fine in a few days, at most there will be a small scar on the back of the hand." ”

Xiao Tao said while cleaning up her things: "If this is someone else's noble daughter or maybe the second miss, if there is a scar on her hand, but you can't laugh like Miss, when the second highness comes back, miss, you must ask Your Highness to find the best medicine for you to remove this scar." ”

Xiao Tao was feeling sorry for Ling Zhiqiao's hand, Da Han and Er Han sent Han Li to the attic, Ling'er kowtowed to Mama Qin yesterday for a thousand heads, but they kept watching Ling'er kowtow before returning to the General's Mansion, because it was too late, they didn't report to Ling Zhiqiao.

After Ling Zhiqiao let the two Hanhan into the room, she asked, "Can Ling'er's head knock satisfy Mama Qin?" ”

"Satisfied, the bad girl's forehead is bleeding, it's just too slow, my mother asked me to come back and tell Sister Ling, she forgave Ling'er, what to do with it has to be decided by Sister Ling, for the time being, Ling'er will be locked in the firewood room in her mother's yard." Erhan replied.

Ling Zhiqiao nodded and then asked them, "I have something I want to ask the two of you, and you can also take up ideas." ”

Da Han said happily: "There are still things that we need to make up our minds?" Sister Immortal Ling, say it quickly. ”

"Mama Qin is also old, I want her to enjoy happiness in that courtyard, and you recognize Mama as your mother, that courtyard is even your home in Kyoto, usually Mama can come to the General's Mansion at any time, and leave Ling'er to Mama as a maid, what do you think?"

Da Han was a little reluctant and said, "What if that bad girl is poisoned again?" ”

Ling Zhiqiao smiled: "I don't think she will be able to, I just ask you first, and I also need to ask Mama if she is willing?" ”

Er Han said: "It's feasible, I don't know if my mother wants to, I think she still wants to stay by Sister Ling's side." ”

"Shall we ask?" Ling Zhiqiao got up and said.

Ling Zhiqiao was about to take Da Han, Er Han and Xiao Tao to find Mama Qin, at this time, Xiao Qinxue was already in the carriage of the General's Mansion and was about to arrive at the gate of the palace, she was specifically looking for Empress Jiang.

Coincidentally, Jiang Qingyun was also there today, and when she heard that the second lady of the General's Mansion asked to see her, Queen Jiang Danfeng's eyes narrowed, and there was a hint of cunning in her eyes: "This is strange, it seems that this is a mother who is useless, and her daughter has appeared." ”

Jiang Qingyun immediately said to her: "That lady has to think about it, after all, there are not many chess pieces for us to use now." ”

"Just let her wait outside for a while, how about this palace try her patience first?" Empress Jiang smiled at the corner of her mouth.

The eunuch Sihai hurriedly went to pass the word, Xiao Qinxue could only wait when she heard it, this estimate is an hour, Xiao Qinxue is back pain is standing, where has she suffered such a crime, but when she thought of Ling Zhiqiao's smiling face, she forced herself to hold on, she must see Queen Jiang today.

The eunuch Sihai knew the name of the first beauty in Kyoto, and he was also amazed in his heart, how could His Royal Highness still be dissatisfied with such a beauty promised to His Royal Highness the Prince?

Seeing that Xiao Qinxue gradually couldn't support it, he immediately hurried back to Empress Jiang's inner palace and reported: "Queen Mother, Prime Minister, it is estimated that the second young lady of the General's Mansion will not be able to hold on." ”

"I just stood for a while and then I couldn't hold on?" Empress Jiang said casually.

"Mother, it's been more than an hour." Shikai replied.

"Are you impatient?"

"No, I've been standing in a regular manner, but my body is a little shaky." Sihai deliberately concealed Xiao Qinxue's small action of beating her legs and waist.

"Then let her in!" Empress Jiang said with satisfaction.

Sihai was overjoyed, he turned around and walked out of the queen's palace quickly, walked to Xiao Qinxue's side and whispered: "Quasi-princess, the queen mother let you in, but the little one keeps saying that you stand in a proper manner." ”

Xiao Qinxue glanced at Sihai gratefully, she was very much used as he called her, and she smiled and said, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

She has now learned to put down her body, her eyes looked down, because if she wanted to gain a foothold in the palace, she still had to win over some people who were useful to her, Xiao Qinxue felt that she was a little late in awakening, if she had already made some friends in the palace, how could Ling Zhiqiao be the first.

She just didn't expect that once the crown princess was selected, the Song female official and the little eunuch father-in-law would be dead set on Ling Zhiqiao, and what was worse than Ling Zhiqiao about her Xiao Qinxue, except for her identity, she Xiao Qinxue would always be a concubine.

Entering the main hall, Xiao Qinxue saw that Prime Minister Jiang Qingyun was also there, she quickly knelt down and said, "The courtiers don't know that the queen and the prime minister are discussing things, so they take the liberty to disturb it." ”

"I know it's presumptuous, but it's still interesting, what's the matter with finding this palace?" Empress Jiang had arrogance in her tone, and she didn't plan to let Xiao Qinxue get up immediately.

Although Xiao Qinxue was a little afraid, she also said straightforwardly: "Back to Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be back soon, the courtiers are willing to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for life, and they also want the Queen Mother to know the sincerity of the courtiers." ”

"Huh!"

Empress Jiang laughed, the laughter was obviously a little ridiculous, she looked at Xiao Qinxue and said: "Xiao Qinxue, do you know how many women in this world are also willing to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for life, but your sincerity is more or less than your mother's?" I don't know? ”

Xiao Qinxue hurriedly replied: "The courtier's daughter came today to report to the queen's mother, the courtier's mother Lu Shi had a sudden hysteria yesterday, and now she doesn't know anyone, and the doctor the courtier's daughter found said that this hysteria depends on rest, and as for whether it can recover, it is not certain." ”

Empress Jiang's voice raised a degree and said, "Lu's has hysteria? ”

She looked at Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, and then said to Xiao Qinxue with a slightly calm face: "Your mother is sick, what's the use of telling this palace?" ”

"Niangniang, mother and Qin Xue said, saying that Niangniang asked her mother to pay attention to Ling Zhiqiao's actions, and now that her mother is sick, Qin Xue thought about it and paid attention to her mother, so she went into the palace to tell Niangniang, and it was also good to see if Niangniang had any other instructions."

Prime Minister Jiang Cheng said at this time: "Xiao Qinxue, you entered the palace with General Xiao on your back, and you want to exchange a Ling Zhiqiao's whereabouts for the position of the crown princess, which seems to be a bit unfair to the queen!" After all, the crown princess is likely to become the queen, right? ”

Xiao Qinxue's knees were already numb, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted on speaking: "Prime Minister Jiang, Queen Mother, I can definitely do better than my mother, although I don't know what my mother has done before?" But as long as the queen mother gives orders in the future, I, Xiao Qinxue, will do my best to do it. ”

And only I live with Ling Zhiqiao, as long as the queen mother makes me a real crown princess after His Royal Highness the crown prince returns, I will never disappoint my mother.

Queen Jiang raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and she was very approving, it seemed that the Lu family was slightly inferior to her daughter.

Her red lips moved slightly: "Xiao Qinxue, this position of the crown princess was promised to be left to you by your mother many years ago, but she did mess up the things that the palace gave her, and it was because she messed up that Ling Zhiqiao could live, and she wanted to compete with you for the position of princess." ”

"But even if you don't like my son Du Yunfei, if you like the second prince Du Yunhan, now the bamboo basket is empty, in the final analysis, all the changes are because your mother messed up."

The more Xiao Qinxue listened, the more cold her spine became, she guessed what this Queen Jiang meant, did she agree or disagree with what she said just now?

She immediately explained: "Queen Mother, what was spread before that I would not marry the second prince was all spread from the outside, there is no matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince I like, not the second Highness of the Hanging Son, please check the Queen Mother." ”

"Forget it, this palace is not a person who cares about everything, you listen well, Xiao Qinxue, this palace can continue the agreement with your mother, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince marry you, don't think that this palace doesn't know whose daughter Ling Zhiqiao is, if you really want to do things for this palace, you must always pay attention to Ling Zhiqiao's every move from now on, you know the means of this palace, but this palace also needs a reason, understand?"

"The courtiers understand that everything is subject to the arrangements of the queen's mother."

Empress Jiang looked at Jiang Qingyun proudly again, Jiang Qingyun looked scheming and said: "The old man inadvertently made a return certificate today, Xiao Qinxue, don't regret it when the time comes." ”

"As long as the courtiers are allowed to sit firmly in the position of the crown princess, there will be no regrets." Xiao Qinxue still wanted to hear the promise given to her by the queen's mother.

Ha ha!

"Your temper is really bad, when His Royal Highness the Prince comes back, the palace will allow you, but these days when the prince is away, you have to come to the palace frequently, some things still have to be explained, the palace doesn't want to be there, and repeatedly lose the opportunity, don't kneel, this delicate body should be sick on its knees, get up!

Xiao Qinxue was already kneeling and her legs were trembling, and she was unconscious below her knees, and the queen asked her to get up, but she couldn't stand up with her hands on the ground.

Empress Jiang opened her mouth and said: "Sihai, quickly help the princess up, you won't see it for long, you go and send the princess." ”

Sihai immediately stepped forward and stretched out his arm, Xiao Qinxue grabbed Sihai's arm, and with the help of strength, she barely stood up slowly, and moved her legs for a while before she was alive.

She said to Queen Jiang: "Xie Niangniang, then Qinxue will go back, and she will come on time tomorrow." ”

Sihai accompanied Xiao Qinxue out of the Queen's Palace, and he said to Xiao Qinxue: "Crown Princess, after you go back, this knee must be compressed with medicinal wine, otherwise it will be slightly swollen." ”

Sihai's words actually made Xiao Qinxue feel like she wanted to cry.

Seeing that Xiao Qinxue was depressed, Sihai said again: "The little slave once went to the mansion to send a message to Mrs. Lu, presumably Mrs. is sick now, and the crown princess must be very worried!" The little slave knew the people from the Tai Hospital, and after a while, he sent someone back to the General's Mansion with the crown princess, and then showed Mrs. Lu, after all, the people in the Tai Hospital were much stronger than those in the Jianghu Lang.
