Inside Cuiwei Palace.
Concubine Rou's forehead was covered with a veil, and she was lying on the couch talking to the little princess. The palace maid brought some soup, and Concubine Rou took off the veil and took two sips, frowning in pain:
"Why does the medicine made by the imperial doctor have to be so bitter? How can it go down the throat?"
The little princess had just received the soup from the palace maid and put the bowl down when she saw this:
"Then I won't drink."
Concubine Rou: "This is a decoction to soothe the nerves. Drink some. At least you have to drink some today."
Concubine Rou picked up the bowl and drank her share, and then persuaded the little princess to take the soup. After the mother and daughter finished drinking, they gargled hurriedly, took the candied fruit brought by the palace maid, put it in their mouths, and then their faces gradually relaxed. Come.
Concubine Rou finished her drink and lay down again: "If I had known that this would happen today, why would I bother to beg your grandmother to go with her?"
The little princess looked calm and said: "I have seen blood three times in one month. My father is not worried about scaring me. The assassin can't hide away. I have to watch the execution. I won't fight for the big position." , look at what these are doing. Now thinking about Li Zhao’s car-breaking punishment, I still feel sick in my stomach..."
Hearing this, Concubine Rou quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief:
"Stop talking about it, I feel disgusted when you say it..."
While they were talking, the palace maid came in and reported:
"Your Majesty, Princess, your Majesty went to Wangshu Palace for a while, and then went back to the front hall. I don't think I will come to the harem again tonight."
Concubine Rou raised her hand and waved the palace maid away:
"I wonder what the background of Wangshu Palace is? I just made a little investigation, but it made your father very angry. Even your imperial grandmother told me not to ask anything about Wangshu Palace..."
Little Princess: "Who knows, in this whole palace, the Jade Concubine is the most mysterious, and few people have seen her appearance. Not to mention the daily morning and evening routines, even the New Year and the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. I didn’t see her going to pay her respects to the Imperial Grandmother and the Empress.”
Concubine Rou: "That's all, it's not important to us to control her. Just let her be, so as not to displease your father."
After leaving Cuiwei Palace, the little princess returned to her own palace and soaked in the hot bathtub. Suddenly she thought of something and murmured to herself in confusion:
"Why can Lin Jinyan go to Wangshu Palace? Could it be that Concubine Yu is from the Lin family, or was she born into the Gu family?"
After thinking for a long time, she didn't think clearly, so she simply asked the palace maid to check. The Lin family, the Gu family, and Mrs. Lin's natal family, the Zhou family, had a woman of a similar age who suddenly disappeared many years ago.
Prince's Mansion.
The Crown Princess, who had not been to the front yard for many days, waited stubbornly outside the study room. She was dismissed several times but remained indifferent.
The prince, who was resentful towards the princess, turned a blind eye to this and ordered his followers:
"I'm tired today and want to rest early. If she wants to wait, let her wait."
The princess waited until the lights in the room were turned off, and the last glimmer of light in her eyes was extinguished. Turning his head to look at the yard, his eyes were filled with nostalgia and regret, and finally turned into a long and slow sigh...
She was about to go back to the backyard, but because she had stood for too long, her legs and feet were numb and she almost stumbled. Fortunately, the maid next to her had quick eyesight and quick hands to catch her. After she stabilized her figure, the Crown Princess immediately looked towards the house and saw that there was no movement, she couldn't help but laugh at herself. wry smile.
After stretching her stiff legs, the princess braced herself, straightened her back, and said to the prince who was guarding the door:
"Your Highness, when you wake up tomorrow, please tell me that I have something serious to discuss, something that is beneficial to Your Highness."
