Mu Qingchen is sick.

Because he was pushed into the icy lake by Shen Bining, he was infected with wind chill and fell unconscious. When the news reached the palace, the Empress Dowager Shen Yuan was summoning the harem concubines to talk in Ci'an Palace.

"Queen Mother, this time Bi Ning is too ignorant, no matter what, Princess Yi should not be pushed into the lake. When Shen Bihuan heard the announcement, he immediately frowned and said so.

Although she and Shen Bining are sisters, there is always a distinction between high and low, on the surface, they seem to be safe and sound, and the sisterhood is deep, but in fact, they seize every opportunity to trample Shen Bining under their feet, so when they first heard that Shen Bining pushed Mu Qingchen into the lake, they had to say something to blame.

"I heard that Princess Yi has always been humble and submissive, but somehow she had such a dislike with Concubine Shen. Yang Zhaoyi glanced at Gu Yanru and said.

Yang Shu and Gu Yan are like angry branches, Gu Yanru and Shen Bihuan have always been in a confrontation, and being able to catch the mistakes of the Shen family is naturally happy for Gu Yanru, but it is inconvenient for her to come forward, so she let Yang Shu be this bird.

"What kind of suspicion can there be between the main concubine and the side concubine? It's nothing more than Prince Yi's favor, isn't this the same as the sisters in the palace? If I dominate the monarch's favor every day, I don't know if Yang Zhaoyi is comfortable in your heart?" Concubine An has always spoken unceremoniously, and when she heard Yang Shu's words, she immediately sneered.

Concubine An laughed, who in the palace didn't know that Concubine An always rejected people, even the emperor was no exception. Su Cairen at the bottom said, "If you want to say that you dominate the monarch's favor, or the concubine is more skilled, the emperor goes to the Ziyan Palace every day, and the concubine has not seen the emperor for many days." ”

The women in the palace spoke, few of them were unintentional, Su Cairen's words were extremely provocative, anyone could hear it, everyone was silent, only Shen Bihuan heard the words, and glanced in the direction of Gu Yanru, his eyes flashed, and his expression was inexplicable.

"Okay, this is the palace of the mourning family, not a place where your words are squeezed. The Queen Mother was upset when she heard this, so she opened her mouth to stop, "Wu Haifu, you go to mourn the family Yi's decree, and King Yi's side concubine Shen Bining will be guilty of the following crimes, so that Princess Yi is sick in bed and grounded for half a month; ”

"The minions obeyed. Wu Haifu said, turned around and left.

"It's still the queen mother's thoughtfulness, and she punished Bining with a small punishment and a big commandment, and also appeased Princess Yi. Shen Bihuan sat beside the Queen Mother and said flatteringly.

The Queen Mother's expression was faint, and the concubines were full of thoughts, in their opinion, the relationship between Mu Qingchen and Shen Bining was just another old-fashioned drama of wives and concubines competing for favor, and nothing else, but at this time, Lu Luo Curie was a situation.

The edict that made Shen Bining grounded and the reward of the Queen Mother arrived at King Yi's Mansion together, Xiao Yi took the order for Mu Qingchen and Shen Bining, and sent someone to send the things rewarded by the Queen Mother into Luluoju.

Qingchen was still asleep, but it was Jin Yan who accepted the reward, and then spoke: "Aunt Qiu, the princess handed over the treasury and account books of Luluoju to you before, and now that the princess is unconscious, it is better to trouble you to send the queen mother's reward to the treasury." ”

"This is my job, if Miss Jinyan doesn't say it, I will do it. Aunt Qiu said, turned around and let the girls and maids with the rewards follow her.

"Phew, do you really think of yourself as the princess's personal aunt, wait for her to clean up, see if she is still putting up a fight!" Jin Yan spatted at Aunt Qiu's back as she left, and said.

"Okay, you beware of being heard by her, and you should serve the princess well. With a reminder, he turned around and walked towards the inner room of the dormitory, followed by Jin Yan.

Qingchen on the bed had been listening intently to the movements outside, and when he saw Aunt Qiu leaving, leaving only Jinyan and Zhiyu, he got up from the bed, lifted the bed curtain, and poked his head outside.

"Princess, are you okay-" As soon as Jin Yan saw Mu Qingchen, he immediately spoke.

Seeing this, Zhan Yu immediately covered Jin Yan's mouth from behind and shouted in a low voice: "You be quiet, do you want to shout to everyone?"

Jin Yan was drunk by Ji Yu like this, and immediately understood, and also knew that the princess didn't want people to know that she was okay, so she kept pretending to be unconscious.

"Jin Yan, you really have to change your temperament, follow me in the future, not to mention joy and anger, and you can't be so surprised. Qingchen looked sideways and didn't see anyone else, so he said to Jinyan.

"The princess has tried her best to act in this play, but don't let your loud voice ruin it. Zhan Yu glared at Jin Yan and said.

"The princess has been weak since she was a child, and when she suffers from the cold, she will linger on the sickbed for many days, and the slave maid is just worried. What's more, the lake water is extremely cold in winter, why should the princess risk her life to get rid of this cold lake?" Jin Yan was told by Qingchen and Zhanyu, and he also felt that he was a little impulsive, so he lowered his head and said so.

"I have my own plans, you don't need to know yet. Qingchen said, "You just need to remember that I was infected with wind and cold, I was very sick, and I couldn't wake up, and even if I woke up, I was weak and couldn't get out of bed." ”

"Is the princess pretending to be sick?" Jin Yan asked.

"Who said I was going to pretend to be sick? I fell into the lake, the cold got into my body, I was not well, I was not fit to see guests, so ...... As soon as the palace and the palace are summoned, they can use this excuse to prevaricate, isn't it?" Qingchen chuckled and spoke again, "Anyway, you go to the prince every once in a while, and say that my illness is recurrent and I want to ask for a doctor." ”

But the slave did not understand the princess's intentions in doing this. Jin Yan always asked with some confusion.

"The princess's orders, let's just listen to them, what do we have to do so clearly? Could it be that the princess has to tell you everything she does?"

"What Ji Yu said is right, Jin Yan, there are some things that are not yet time to tell you, but if you do your best to be loyal to me, even if this is the Ning Yue Kingdom, I will definitely protect you, so that you can have the opportunity to see your brother again. Mu Qingchen said.

"The slave and maid thank the princess for her love, the slave and the maid are now following the princess, not with two hearts, but the slave and the maid don't understand why the princess suddenly changed so much, and she has done a lot of strange things in the eyes of the slave and maid. Jin Yan said, "Since the princess said that it is not time now, then the slave and maid will wait, waiting for the day when the princess trusts the slave and maid with all her heart and tells the slave and maid everything." ”

Jin Yan listened to Qingchen's words, and seemed to be very moved, plus Qingchen had held her in his hand again, and he didn't dare to have the slightest disagreement with Qingchen.

"Jin Yan, I came all the way from the Heavenly Star Country, and you are the only one by my side, who has been with me for the longest time, if it wasn't for the last time, I might have told you everything. Qingchen changed his tone and took Jinyan's hand, "You have to know that no matter whether I have Huaijin or Jiyu by my side, you are always indispensable." ”

Yes, it is indispensable, because only the existence of Jinyan can maintain her identity as the Jade Hook Princess of the Heavenly Star Kingdom, if there is no Jinyan, but she suddenly trusts Huai Jin and Zhanyu, it will arouse suspicion.

"The slave understands. Jin Yan nodded, with a determined expression.

"Alright, you go down and keep watch, I want to rest for a while. Although the disease was faked, the cold water of the lake did not falsify it at all. Qingchen said, then lay down in the quilt again, and let Ji Yu cover the quilt for her, put down the bed curtain, and then closed her eyes and rested.

Princess Jade Hook's body is still too weak, although she has martial arts to protect her body, but the lake water in the cold winter is not idle, Qingchen lay on the bed, and fell asleep unconsciously, even she didn't know how she fell asleep.

Xiao Yi came once, and when he saw that Qingchen was still asleep, he didn't stay long, but just stared at Qingchen's sleeping face for a while, and then turned around and left.

He didn't know about the matter between Mu Qingchen and Shen Bining, but he was sure that it was definitely not like the rumors in the outside world, where the two women were jealous of him.

Shen Bining may be like this, but Mu Qingchen will definitely not. Because she is such a rational and calm woman, she will never be emotional, and if one day she is really jealous, he will also guess the purpose and intention behind all her actions.

The moonlight is faint, this is the first such a clear night since the first year of Yongning.

In Mu Qingchen's bedroom, the window that had been closed by Jiyu suddenly opened, and the cold wind of the cold night poured in in an instant, blowing the window and creaking.

After a while, the chill that was all over his body passed, and was replaced by a stream of heat, Qingchen opened his eyes, looked at the situation in front of him, and frowned slightly.

She was no longer lying flat, but sitting on the bed, someone was sitting cross-legged behind her, hands pressed against her back, she only felt a strong internal breath swimming in her body, and couldn't help sighing:

"Brother Feng, you don't have to be like this. ”

"I heard that you fell into the water, and your body is already cold now, so you have to take care of yourself. Feng Xiran said lightly.

"I want to recuperate my body, it's a lot of ginseng bird's nest, I don't need Brother Feng to spend your true qi every time to help me recover. Qingchen wanted to resist, but because Feng Xiran was exercising, in order to avoid his internal strength, he didn't dare to move.

"I saw it last time in the palace, this is not your own body, although your skills are few opponents in the world, but compared to before, you have retreated a lot. Feng Xiran was unmoved, "In the past, it may be comparable to Xiao Ling, but now compared to Xiao Ling, it is still far behind." ”

"I can practice again after my skills have retreated, and I don't have to fight Xiao Ling hard. Qingchen spoke, "Brother Feng, I beg you, you stop, you have helped me heal last time, and this time you will give me the true qi in your body, even if you are the number one master in martial arts, you won't take such a toss!"

Hearing this, Feng Xiran only stiffened his body slightly, but his hand did not mean to move away, and he used his internal strength to expel the cold qi in his body for Qingchen, so he adjusted his internal breath and slowly collected his strength.

"You can practice again after your skills have retreated, and you don't have to be tough against Xiao Ling. The smile on the corner of Feng Xiran's mouth was still clear, "But Allure, I don't want you to have any possibility of damage, I'm not for you, I'm for myself, because I don't want to regret it anymore, and I don't want to be too late to protect you when you are in danger." ”
