There was silence in Xuanlan Hall.
A long while.
He Qianxue picked up the teacup and took a sip. She smiled at Biyue and said, "Get up. You don't have to worry too much. We didn't hear what you just said."
Lin Yi was still confused. She scratched her head. Did she just say something that she shouldn't have said?
Songjie stared at Lin Yi coldly, but his eyes were less wary and more like looking at him.
Seeing Bi Yue so nervous, Lin Yi didn't care and apologized first.
"Ms. He, you were so offensive just now!"
He Qianxue opened her red lips lightly and took a sip of tea.
"The Holy One is busy with everything, worrying about the country and the people. When I come here, I often fall asleep."
"oh……"
She explains to herself the reason for not having children? Lin Yi became even more embarrassed.
Biyue glanced at Lin Yi, but unfortunately Lin Yi didn't notice. She could only bite the bullet and said: "Princess, it's getting late——"
I understand this! It's time for you to get out!
"Ms. He, it's getting late, and I have some trivial matters, so I'll take my leave first."
He Qianxue giggled, this smile was really happy.
"Thank you so much, Princess Han, for treating me today."
Lin Yi blinked, then paused and said, "Ms. He, if you can trust my medical skills, I will send you some blood-tonifying medicine tomorrow. You can take it for a while, and then tell me if there is no improvement."
"good."
Finally left Xuanlan Hall.
Seeing that there were no palace maids or eunuchs, Lin Yi immediately pulled Bi Yue away.
"Bi Yue, did I just say the wrong thing?"
Biyue sighed. As expected, Lin Yi didn't realize what she said wrong.
That is the Holy One!
"Princess, you must not say that your Majesty is not good enough in front of your Majesty!"
"Um?"
"..."
Biyue was a little shy, and it was not her place to comment on the emperor's bed. She blushed and said helplessly: "You just said that Empress He has no heirs, maybe it's the emperor's problem..."
Lin Yi suddenly realized.
"What I'm talking about is——"
Even if he is telling the truth, in the ancient environment where imperial power was supreme, he seems to be seeking death!
"Ms. He, you won't talk nonsense..."
"...Slave thinks...she doesn't look like that kind of person..."
But who can tell clearly?
Although Biyue has never experienced the dangers of people's hearts, she knows that she must be cautious at every step in this deep palace.
Lin Yi drooped her head, very frustrated. She didn't want to cause trouble to Qin Shuihan.
When he walked out of the door, a familiar figure came into view, but there was also a young eunuch standing next to Qin Shuihan.
Lin Yi looked at it carefully, and it seemed that he looked familiar.
Changqing! The little eunuch I met on New Year's Eve.
"My servant pays homage to Princess Han."
Chang Qing bowed to Lin Yi respectfully. He was now doing odd jobs in Ronglan Palace. Since the last time he informed Mu Sisi in time that Lin Yi was being chased by Chu Xinyi, Qin Shuihan gave him a thumbs up. Not a tea eunuch.
Everyone knows how to repay kindness.
"Go down."
"promise."
Chang Qing bowed and retreated.
"Shui Han, is he the little eunuch who helped me last time?"
"Yes, now I work in the palace of Xiao Qi's mother-in-law."
"oh……"
Qin Shuihan glanced at her and seemed a little unhappy. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is Concubine He giving you a hard time?"
Lin Yi shook his head and said, "No."
The two of them walked slowly towards Cuibeiyuan.
"Shui Han, I seem to have caused you trouble..."
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yi told what happened in Xuanlan Hall.
Qin Shuihan thought for a moment, then showed a reassuring smile to Lin Yi.
"Yiyi, it's okay."
"...I didn't mean to slander your father, but -"
Lin Yi shut her mouth. Although it was true, he was also Qin Shuihan's father.
"Father is quite old."
Qin Shuihan's eyes were calm. Although he was his father, he had no inhibitions. After all, there were four drafts a year and he was not in his prime. In his opinion, his father spent too much manpower and material resources in this regard.
"But Yiyi can only tell me this."
Qin Shuihan's eyes suddenly filled with tenderness.
Lin Yi's heart dropped and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, I won't say it next time."
Qin Shuihan pinched her cheek. Although Lin Yi's speech was inappropriate, she didn't need to worry about this kind of thing.
Why He Qianxue wanted to get close to Lin Yi was what he was concerned about.
Biyue behind her also breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that the master and the princess were whispering, so she took a few steps back to keep her distance, but a few keywords still drifted into her ears.
She recalled the scene just now. The eunuch seemed to have calmed down for a moment. He must have good internal strength and would have to report to his master later.
When Qin Shuihan and Lin Yi rushed to Changshan Pavilion, there was a young eunuch standing next to the stone pavilion.
Biyue recognized at a glance the little eunuch who had just been asked to get the carrots.
Although the young eunuch did not know Qin Shuihan, he could tell from their clothes that the two people in front of him were of noble status. They should be the King Han and Princess Han mentioned by the maid just now.
"This servant pays homage to the prince and princess."
As he spoke, he took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from his sleeve.
"Princess, carrot."
Lin Yi happily took the carrot.
Seeing this, the little eunuch quickly bowed and turned to leave.
When she opened the veil, Lin Yi was dumbfounded. She saw a steamed carrot...
Looking at the little eunuch walking away, Qin Shuihan was a little puzzled. Was it because he was scary because he slipped away so fast?
Lin Yi dug a hole under the snowman's eyes, and when he was about to stuff the carrots in, he found that the carrots were still a little warm, so he had no choice but to hold the carrots and blow a few breaths.
The carrots seemed to exude a strange smell, and Lin Yi frowned. Was it steamed with any condiments?
Since he wasn't going to eat it anyway, Lin Yi didn't think much about it and carefully stuffed it into the hole he had dug out just now.
"Da da, Shui Han, this is my masterpiece, what do you think?"
Qin Shuihan's eyes were full of smiles. After placing a carrot, he did feel different. He had the prototype of a human being, but he was also very cute and naive.
"Yiyi, you are being opportunistic. Two balls, two stones, and a carrot."
"Isn't it cute?"
"Cute, as cute as you!"
"I'm not as fat as I am..."
Lin Yi said coquettishly, slipped into Qin Shuihan's fur coat, and held his arm.
"Then eat more."
"Never!"
At this time two women came.
"His Royal Highness King Han, long time no see."
Qin Shuihan frowned, it was this disgusting woman again.
Lin Yi knew Yan Ruoqin, but had never seen the woman beside her.
She looks slightly older than Yan Ruoqin. Her plump oval face and slightly raised corners of her eyes make her almond-shaped eyes even more charming.
But before Lin Yi could taste it carefully, he was pulled into Qin Shuihan's arms.
"Yiyi, let's go to the attic to rest for a while."
"His Royal Highness King Han, you are still so heartless and unrighteous."
Lin Yi looked up at Qin Shuihan, wondering who the woman was talking to and what was the story between the two?
The woman looked at Lin Yi provocatively.
"You must be Princess Han, the concubine of General Lin's family."
The visitor was not a good person, Lin Yi raised his eyebrows.
"Who are you?"
"My little girl Ruoxi."
Lin Yi glanced at Yan Ruoqin and suddenly realized that the woman who called herself Ruoxi was her sister, the woman Qin Shuihan said was unworthy.
"It turns out to be Miss Ruoxi, whom I have admired for a long time."
Lin Yi let go of Qin Shuihan's hand and bowed in a decent manner, speaking in a smooth voice that made people laugh.
Qin Shuihan's brows relaxed a bit, feeling that Yiyi was going to cause trouble.
Long admired?
"Princess Han, when you and your sister met for the first time, have you already known each other for a long time?"
Yan Ruoqin was in a bad mood. She went to Qin Zhe just now. She tried her best to ask for a response from him, but Qin Zhe just commented "not bad" and had no other words.
What's even more disgusting is that Lu Nantian next to him keeps touching him. Even if he reminds him politely, he still goes his own way and even puts his hand on his leg.
Yan Ruoqin looked aggrieved, but even if it happened under Qin Zhe's eyes, he completely turned a blind eye.
At this time, her sister Yan Ruoxi came to her rescue and led her directly down to the attic.
"Of course I heard King Han talk about your sister. She is famous all over the world and is almost immortalized in history."
Yan Ruoqin looked at Lin Yi coldly, wishing to slap her. Her sister was shameless, but she also really liked King Han.
Yan Ruoxi sneered: "How is Princess Han better than me? I only like His Highness, Prince Han, but you are in two different situations."
She stared straight at Qin Shuihan, took a step closer and said, "It turns out that King Han likes such a watery person."
Watery?
Lin Yi snorted and said, "I'm not a stranger here, so why bother talking."
Although he didn't know what happened to Qin Shuihan and Yan Ruoxi, Lin Yi firmly believed that he would not like such a woman.
But being thick-skinned, Lin Yi still chose to admit defeat, it was too boring.
"Shuihan, let's go."
Lin Yi held Qin Shuihan's hand and prepared to walk to the attic.
Yan Ruoxi quickly stopped in front of Qin Shuihan and asked expressionlessly: "King Han, how am I inferior to her?"
There was a trace of unwillingness, a trace of complaint and a trace of reluctance in her eyes.
After so many years, Qin Shuihan finally married a wife, but he didn't expect it to be such a woman.
Although Lin Yi looks gentle and pleasant, she is not bad either!
She really only wanted one answer.
Lin Yi was slightly startled. At this moment, Yan Ruoxi only had Qin Shuihan in her eyes. Without the yin and yang contrast just now, she seemed to be her truest self.
Yan Ruoxi took another half step forward.
Bi Yue was startled and rushed to Qin Shuihan as if facing a formidable enemy. She raised her arm to stop Yan Ruoxi.
"Miss Yan, don't take another step closer to the Hanwang Palace!"
Qin Shuihan hugged Lin Yi and stared at Yan Ruoxi like a piece of shit, his eyes full of disgust.
Biyue held her breath and glared at Yan Ruoxi.
This scene caught the attention of many people, and a few people who were watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously slowly approached them.
Seeing her sister like this, Yan Ruoqin felt very distressed. Even though her sister was singing and dancing day and night in the land of fireworks, King Han always occupied her heart.
Qin Shuihan was very unhappy and said in a deep voice: "Who do you think you are? I need to explain to you?"
Yan Ruoxi closed her eyes. Sure enough, he was still the same King Han who hated him!
She glanced at Lin Yi again, and the snowman behind them came into view.
Mediocre family background, mediocre appearance, even the snowman is mediocre.
Yan Ruoxi sneered, walked slowly to the snowman, looked at the steamed carrot, and pulled it out.
"Princess Han, you are so mediocre, but you can play with King Han and King Huan at your fingertips. I really admire you!"
She crushed the carrot in her hand hard.
Although the steamed carrots had been placed on the ice and snow for a short time, they were not frozen into popsicles and were still very soft.
Lin Yi scratched his head and actually competed with a carrot!
What a sick mind!
But Lin Yi doesn't mind if she destroys her masterpiece, it's just two balls.
Seeing Lin Yi pursed her lips and smiled, not caring at all, Qin Shuihan couldn't help but chuckle.
"Is your husband asking someone to teach her a lesson?"
"No, good men don't fight with women. It's just a carrot."
"That silly snowman is Yiyi's brainchild, so let's forget it?"
"Tch, just now you said I was opportunistic!"
Lin Yi raised her chin, snorted with her nose, and then she couldn't help laughing: "I can roll a lot of snowballs when I get home, and you can help me stack them up. But I want to dress up the snowman with raw carrots!"
"Okay, goblin!"
The two of them continued to walk towards the attic while whispering.
Yan Ruoxi stood in front of the snowman, watching the carrot juice dripping on the ground from her fingers. She felt a little lonely and sad, but she would not cry.
It's just a man. Let's go to Elephant Gu's Pavilion tonight to have some fun. Recently, she discovered that a lover's features were very similar to Qin Shuihan's.
Take out the anger you received today on him!
The carrot juice continued to drip onto the snow, but the color was not orange, but black.
Yan Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then realized that the carrot in her hand had a pungent smell. She shook her hand vigorously and found that her palm turned black.
ah--
Yan Ruoxi's scream scared everyone around her to look at her.
Lin Yi also stopped and turned around, finding Yan Ruoxi waving her hands wildly in front of the snowman she had built.
What kind of dance is this?
She had seen the hot-foot dance, imitating the prairie grouse, which was very entertaining.
But Yan Ruoxi's hot dance is not fun at all.
Yan Ruoxi felt her arms numb.
Carrots are poisonous!
Yan Ruoxi stared at Lin Yi, wanting to cut her into pieces. He really underestimated this mediocre woman!
"Princess Han, you are plotting against me!"
When Yan Ruoqin saw her sister's palm turning black, she also shouted loudly: "Princess Han has killed someone! Someone come quickly!"
Lin Yi and Qin Shuihan looked at each other, what is going on?
"Shuihan, let's go take a look?"
Qin Shuihan had a gloomy face and pulled Lin Yi back.
At this time, more and more people were coming towards them.
Lin Yi saw the carrots on the ground. Even if they were crushed, they could still see orange and black.
She looked at Yan Ruoxi's palm again. Not only was it black, but it also had blisters.
Seeing Lin Yi coming over, Yan Ruoxi rushed towards her crazily.
However, before he touched even one of Lin Yi's hairs, he was pushed out by Qin Shuihan's internal force.
Yan Ruoxi fell to her knees, and Yan Ruoqin quickly helped her up.
Qin Shuihan's eyes became more and more cruel.
This carrot was handed to Yiyi, which means that the original target was Yiyi, and Yan Ruoxi happened to be poisoned instead of Yiyi.
"Biyue, go and catch the eunuch who gave you the carrots just now!"
Everything happened so fast before Bi Yue could react. After hearing Qin Shuihan's order, she seemed to realize something.
"Yes, Master!"
Lin Yi closed her lips tightly. She also realized that someone wanted to harm her with carrots, but the woman in front of her blocked the disaster.
Yan Ruoxi's palms were becoming more and more painful, and her fingers were completely black.
"The water is cold, it could be arsenic."
Qin Shuihan held Lin Yi's hand tightly and felt scared. What if Yiyi came into contact with poison just now?
"It's okay, I'm here."
At this time, the imperial doctor also rushed over. When he saw Yan Ruoxi's blackened fingers, he quickly wrapped them in cotton cloth.
Lin Yi couldn't see it and shouted directly: "This imperial doctor, you have to rinse your palms with a lot of water! Such bandaging will make her skin ulcer!"
Seeing that the person speaking was Princess Han, the imperial doctor quickly took off the cotton wrapping. After all, this young woman was a "miraculous doctor" bestowed by the Holy Spirit!
The Yan sisters stared at Lin Yi fiercely, thinking that the imperial doctor listened to Lin Yi's words and refused to treat them!
"My father is the crown prince, and you don't want to treat your sister!"
The imperial doctor was confused, why did he not treat me?
Yan Ruoqin became more and more angry as she spoke, and she shouted loudly: "Princes, nobles, young ladies, you have all seen that Princess Han poisoned her sister! Now she is still not being treated!"
"Miss Yan, don't talk nonsense. Wei Chen just doesn't have clean water around him. If you want to cure your sister's palm, go to the Imperial Medical Office with Wei Chen!"
The two sisters looked at each other. More and more people were gathering now. If they left here, wouldn't they miss a good opportunity?
We must make Lin Yi look good!
"Fifth brother, what happened?"
Just now Qin Yi heard a woman shouting "Princess Han kills someone". He didn't have time to put on his fur clothes and rushed down to the attic.
"Xiao Qi, someone wants to poison Yiyi."
Qin Yi was suddenly startled, with murderous intent in his eyes.
He actually wanted to harm the fifth sister-in-law and kill her without mercy!
"Fifth brother, are these the Yan sisters?"
"No, they happened to protect Yiyi from this disaster."
"..."
Qin Yi's expression brightened slightly, and he told him that if he catches the bad guy, he must be cut into pieces.
At this time, Zuo Haoran and others also rushed over.
Qin Yi rubbed his hands. It was cold without wearing fur clothes, but when he saw his friend coming, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fifth brother, I'll just pick up a coat!"
Qin Shuihan hummed and looked around for Bi Yue. It seemed that the little eunuch just now could not be found.
He regretted a little. He had realized something was abnormal just now, so he could just catch him and ask a few more questions.
Qin Yi ran up to the attic and met Qin Zhe by chance.
"Seventh brother, the attic is very lively."
"The prince's brother has a distinguished status and is not suitable to go down and join in the fun."
"oh?"
Qin Zhe also heard the words "Princess Han" just now. Although he didn't know what happened, as long as it was related to Qin Shuihan, there was no reason not to go.
"It seems something serious has happened to my fifth younger brother and sister. As my brother-in-law, of course I have to take care of my younger brother and sister."
Qin Yi was too lazy to talk to him and replied directly: "If anything happens, I'll be back. But that's fine, then I'll trouble the prince brother."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Yi continued to run up.
Qin Zhe snorted, but couldn't help but look at Qin Yi.
Didn't Lin Yi encounter any trouble?
Looking at the ice and snow outside the attic, he paused and said to Xue Lingxu: "Go down below and see what happened."
When Qin Yi saw Qin Zhe turning back, he smiled in his heart. It was better to deal with Qin Zhe by provoking him.
However, Qin Zhe blocked his way as soon as he came. Qin Yi rolled his eyes, walked in the opposite direction, turned around and jumped directly from the third floor.
Below, two women were shaping snow lions. When they saw a shadow falling from above, they couldn't help but raise their heads.
I saw a man's cloak fluttering in the air, his arms slightly spread, like a god descending.
Qin Yi had already noticed the two women under the attic, but his Qinggong was so proficient that he could control the landing speed very well.
He raised his arms and adjusted his direction in the air.
Impartially, landing right in front of the woman.
"His Royal Highness King Yi? Are you trying to scare people to death by showing up?"
"It turned out to be Miss Nangong. She was in a hurry and scared the lady."
Qin Yi curled the corners of his mouth and smiled happily.
Nangong Qing, the eldest daughter of the servant Nangong Fei, they had dealt with each other several times, and the carriage in the house was built by this woman.
"How are you, sir?"
Nangong Qing raised her head and replied, "Thanks to King Yi and King Han, my father is pretty good."
In Qin Yi's eyes, Nangong Qing is a bit unfeminine, but he likes her character very much.
"Who is this?"
"Sha Mei Li."
"Meet His Highness King Yi."
Nangong Li lowered his head and covered his heart, feeling that his heartbeat was a little fast.
Qin Yi was slightly startled. It turned out to be the second young lady of the Nangong family. However, he heard that the second young lady was in poor health and rarely went out. Unexpectedly, she looked completely different from her elder sister, as delicate and exquisite as a porcelain doll.
"I've met the Second Miss Nangong."
Nangong Li raised his head and looked at Qin Yi, showing a slight smile.
"I'm going to leave first. I won't disturb the two ladies from making snow lions."
After speaking, Qin Yi calmed down and immediately ran towards his fifth brother.
At this time, Qin Shuihan came over with a group of Yulin army guards.
Seeing King Han, they all bowed.
"See King Cold."
Qin Shuihan glanced at the leader and said in a deep voice: "Call the people from the Punishment Department."
Looking at Yan Ruoxi who was lying on the ground, he ordered again: "Chen Imperial Physician, take Miss Yan to the Imperial Medical Office for treatment."
The guards of the Yulin Army immediately acted according to Qin Shuihan's order.
After a while, regardless of the resistance of the Yan family sisters, they were immediately taken away from this place.
"Xiao Qi, take Yiyi back to your home. Come and go as soon as possible."
"Yes, fifth brother."
"Shuihan, I——"
Lin Yi pulled Qin Shuihan's sleeves with a worried look on his face.
"In front of everyone, the Yan sisters accused me and I left. How did you deal with it?"
Qin Shuihan brushed her hair.
"Yiyi, trust me."
Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was not a matter of being good or not. She didn't want to cause trouble for him and wanted to face it together.
Qin Shuihan understood her thoughts, leaned over and said in her ear: "Yiyi doesn't want others to use you against me, right?"
"Um……"
Qin Shuihan hugged her into his arms again, holding her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones.
"Shuihan, I can't breathe!"
Qin Shuihan relaxed his hands.
"That's not good enough."
"..."
Qin Yi on the side couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help laughing: "Fifth sister-in-law, I will take you back to your house. Fifth brother will definitely be able to handle it. Let's go quickly."
Lin Yi nodded helplessly and followed Qin Yi out of the palace.
