"Who is this second master that Aunt Xia He is talking about?" Xiao Ye still knew about the Lin family, but he had rarely heard of this second master Lin.
Xia He shook his head and sighed: "Second Master Lin was the late emperor's companion. He and his second wife actually contracted the plague on the way to his appointment. Back then, Second Master Lin and his wife were a perfect match in the capital, but it's a pity that God is jealous of talented people. .....”
Xiao Ye listened carefully, "If Second Master Lin is still here, the position of the head of the Lin family will probably change hands."
"That's not true. When the old man didn't have the opportunity, it was said that he was interested in the mother-in-law and his father."
Xiao Ye smiled nonchalantly, "I'm afraid I'll know that my father will ascend to the dragon throne by then."
"..."
The young master dared to speak, but Xia He took a breath, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Xiao Ye waved his hand, and upon seeing this, Xia He quietly left the inner room.
Xiao Ye didn't want to get involved too much in the Lin family's affairs. He just wanted his mother and concubine to escape, which would be considered as fulfilling her filial piety when she gave him a life.
——Yong'an Palace——
Unlike Concubine Xian who left early today, Ningxi actually managed to get all the concubines to resign this time.
Finally, Liu Yingxue became a little impatient. She drank tea frequently until her stomach became bloated, but she still didn't wait for Dangui to come back.
Seeing this, Ningxi couldn't wait any longer. She stood up and said, "I haven't seen you sisters for a long time. We chatted a little too late. I almost forgot that the eldest princess is still waiting in the palace. I will go back first." The palace will take care of you, please continue."
Liu Yingxue put down the tea cup in her hand. She was really full of tea. Finally, when the imperial concubine's words came, Liu Yingxue was not ambiguous at all. She immediately stood up and said: "I may not have seen the eldest princess for a long time. My sister, the imperial concubine, is here today." Can I go to your palace and join in the fun?"
"Of course I'm waiting for you!" Ningxi said with a smile, and I also want to hear the Queen's gossip.
The harem was really boring. Thanks to her sister, her heart was ignited with a raging spirit of gossip. She really wanted to know why her cousin was so tormenting. Moreover, her yawning in the palace today almost infected her. If she hadn't kept guard, Many people are embarrassed, maybe I can follow along and hit a few!
Ning Xi and Liu Yingxue returned to Yongfu Palace together. It used to be nearly half an hour's journey for them, but now they arrived in a quarter of an hour. Apparently, the Queen's gossip attracted them.
In the Yongfu Palace, the master and two slaves sat together, and one of the slaves began to tell the news he had heard from a fellow villager today.
"My fellow countryman said that it was a coincidence that the Queen Empress had a headache a while ago, and the hospital prescribed many medicines but it didn't relieve the pain. Later, Shen Jieyu helped introduce this great immortal. It is said that the Great Immortal took a pill and the Queen Empress immediately recovered. Soothed.”
Dangui lamented, "Now everyone in Yong'an Palace admires the Great Immortal."
"How could a great immortal have such powerful pills?" Liu Yingxue asked doubtfully, not quite believing it.
Dangui shook her head and continued: "It seems that Shen Jieyu is her sister-in-law's cousin. Shen Jieyu also had a headache before, and it was this great immortal who cured her."
Shen Jieyu is a very inconspicuous existence in the palace. It is okay to try to please the Queen, but is it just such a coincidence?
Ning Xi and Liu Yingxue exchanged glances, both expressing disbelief and saying there must be something fishy.
There are many things that can happen by coincidence in the world, but it is absolutely impossible in the harem!
Ningxi sent Liu Yingxue away and called Forsythia directly, "Go and let someone quietly check on this Shen Jieyu."
Strangely enough, as the introducer, this person did not come to Yong'an Palace.
Naturally, Liu Yingxue would not be idle when she returned to the palace. Oh~ Dangui had no idle time, and was taken away by her master before she had a chance to breathe!
Dangui quietly handed the waistband to the dark place, and in an instant she took a pot of budding flowers from the hands of the little palace maid, "Sister Dangui, you must tell Concubine Shu not to spoil this pot of peonies anymore. There are only a few newly cultivated flowers, and if they continue to grow bad, not to mention that I will be fired as the greenhouse manager, my head will be removed from this job!"
Dangui took it guiltily and said with a smile: "Good sister, please be patient, but this pot of sister will definitely let the master take good care of her."
Rong Xin, the manager of the greenhouse, looked at the new plant with reluctance at the end. It would be best if it could be cultivated well~
If it was really her own hard work, she felt bad. Dangui smacked her lips. Should she give up her master's idea of growing flowers and grass?
Liu Yingxue saw the new potted plant and said excitedly: "Dangui, is this one even more beautiful than the last one?"
"But this flower is a bit delicate, the master still has to take good care of it." Dangui saw that the master was focused on the flowers, and he was afraid that he had forgotten why he went to the flower room.
Liu Yingxue waved her hand, "Those who love flowers will naturally care for them. Don't worry, Dangui, she will definitely bloom this time."
When Dangui heard her master's confident tone, the corners of her mouth twitched for no reason. She had made such heroic words countless times.
Dangui's eyes were like Rong Xin's at this moment, taking a reluctant look at the little peony in bud, please wish yourself well.
Shen Jieyu didn't know that she was involved in a lawsuit. She just didn't go to Yong'an Palace because she was ill today.
Chen Lexuan looked at the lively place. After a while, she was the only one left. She suddenly felt very boring. Listening to the chattering of these women was not as enjoyable as listening to the master reciting lessons to herself.
Chen Lexuan immediately went to Jinmoju, which was a sutra-reciting residence she specially provided for the master. It was also the best place outside her dormitory in Yong'an Palace.
Chen Lexuan wanted to see the master, but she didn't know that the so-called master didn't want to see her!
A liar, after defrauding a sum of money, waited for the deceived person to contact him, thinking that he would be able to make a small profit this time. Unfortunately, he did not expect that she might get herself involved this time.
She originally thought that Mrs. Shen was introducing her to a concubine lady, but what she didn't expect was that this lady turned out to be the current queen. Originally, she wanted to run away directly, but on the night when she wanted to escape, a visitor suddenly came to the house. A masked man in black, whom she had never met before, gave her a note, and she has been following their instructions these days.
Is it just that the emperor's women are easy to deceive? She has been living in trepidation these past few days, but this queen is really as mindless as that person said. However, her master once said that women are easy to be deceived, but they are also the least easy to deceive. Alas~
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the courtyard. She immediately meditated. She looked calm on the outside, but she was wailing in her heart: How on earth should she escape? Why did Qianyan fall into this big trap?
