On the way back, Qingyi walked in a hurry, and Hua Jue trotted after her, whispering: "Ms. Qingyi, don't be angry with that eunuch. He deliberately said that His Majesty did not take his concubines to the hot spring villa to anger you. It seems that Your Majesty would rather take one of his eunuchs than you, but in fact he is jealous of your beauty and is worried that you will seduce His Majesty’s Sacred Heart!”
Qingyi clenched her fists and said angrily: "Damn Lin Xie! Damn you guy——"
She was scolding Lin Xie, but she was angry at Lan Lin in her heart. What on earth did Lan Lin want to do? Why do you want to go to the hot spring villa suddenly? Does he want to leave the palace and run wild? Is there no one in the world who can cure this foolish king?
In a rage, Qingyi accidentally slipped and fell to the ground, falling onto the thin white snow.
I saw two little eunuchs hurriedly coming behind them, one was Nian Sheng holding an oil-paper umbrella, and the other was holding a lantern.
Niansheng hurriedly stepped forward to help Qingyi up, and then said to her: "Ms. Qingyi, Lin Gonggong said that the snowy road is slippery and is worried that you will fall, so let the kids take you back to Chenxi Palace!"
Although Qingyi was unhappy, she still accepted Lin Xie's kindness and asked the two young eunuchs to take her back to the palace.
After returning to the Palace of Dawn, after Niansheng and others left, Hua Jue boiled water for Qing Yi to apply on her feet. Looking at Qing Yi's ankles that were accidentally red when she fell, Hua Jue comforted her and said, "Qing Yi Lady Yi, I don’t think you need to be too angry. Think about it, there are still a few days before Your Majesty goes to the Hot Spring Resort. If you really want to follow us, we still have time!"
Listening to Hua Jue's words, Qingyi felt a sense of embarrassment in her heart. On the one hand, she didn't trust Lin Xie to follow Lan Lin to the hot spring villa. She knew what Lan Lin was planning, and she definitely wanted to confront him outside the palace. Lin Xie is acting recklessly, and when the time comes, he will have nothing to lose.
On the other hand, she didn't want to go to accompany the driver. After all, if she followed, she would definitely be in trouble, and neither she nor Lin Xie would be happy by then. What's more, she has no feelings for Lan Lin, and she doesn't want to have sex with someone she doesn't love. Thinking about it will only make her feel sick, and she only feels a headache when she thinks about these clothes.
Because of Hua Jue's misunderstanding, she always thought that Lin Xie and Qingyi were sworn enemies. She never thought that Lin Xie was the Linyou whom Qingyi asked her to find that day, let alone that they were actually a couple.
So that morning, Hua Jue went to the Royal Pharmacy Department to give Qingyi some medicine for her feet. When she saw Lin Xie, she suddenly felt unhappy.
Pharmacist Chen from the Royal Pharmacy Department saw Lin Xie and others walking in, so he stepped forward to say hello, "Good morning, Eunuch Lin!"
Lin Xie said: "Pharmacist Chen, have you prepared all the commonly used medicines that His Majesty will use when traveling?"
"Yes, we have been preparing non-stop. We will be fully equipped tomorrow. Please don't worry, Eunuch Lin!" Pharmacist Chen replied.
Lin Xie nodded, his eyes fell on Hua Jue, and he saw the medicine bag in her hand. Then he stepped forward and asked, "I heard from Niansheng that Queen Qingyi accidentally fell down last night. Is it serious?"
Hua Jue thought that cats cry and mice pretend to be compassionate, and said in a stiff tone: "Uncle Laolin is concerned, my mother-in-law is fine, she just sprained her foot, just apply a few patches of medicine and she will be fine."
Lin Xie continued: "The ankle is twisted, big or small. I guess I won't be able to walk around for a few days. You have to be careful and don't let your master wander around and get hurt again."
"Thank you for your concern, Eunuch Lin. Eunuch Lin said this because he was afraid that my mother-in-law would go to the hot spring villa with her. Now she sprained her ankle and cannot go. Eunuch Lin, you should be happy!"
Lin Xie was startled. She didn't expect that this little girl Hua Jue was quite protective of her master. She felt that she liked him in her heart, but on the outside she looked frowning and displeased.
When the experienced pharmacist Chen saw this, he was afraid that Hua Jue would get into trouble, so he hurriedly stepped forward and changed the subject: "Eunuch Lin, please take a look and see if we have enough medicinal materials!"
Lin Xie turned around and left. Hua Jue glared at him fiercely. The little eunuch Nian Sheng who was following Lin Xie couldn't see it and hurriedly whispered: "My Eunuch Lin is kind-hearted and cares about your master. You little eunuch Why don’t you recognize the good heart of a girl?”
"Concerned? Huh! He is worried that my master will compete with him for favor!"
"You...you little girl, what are you talking about!"
Hua Jue rolled his eyes at Nian Sheng, and then said: "I know what he did. It has been spread throughout the palace for a long time, so it is not a rare thing! Hmph——"
Hua Jue felt confident, took the medicine and turned around to leave. Nian Sheng was so angry that he stood there and stamped his feet.
Lin Xie didn't know that since Queen Ye Nong planned to deal with Lan Lin, the first thing she wanted to do was to use the ambiguous things between them to talk about it, so she ordered her personal eunuch Fu An to spread rumors about her majesty and Lin Xie's affair. Now, This was spreading more and more fiercely, causing the entire Zhuilan Palace to be in an uproar.
In addition, when Lan Lin went to the hot spring villa this time, he did not indicate that he would take any concubines with him, which can't help but make people daydream.
When Lin Xie arrived at Yuqian Palace, he saw Lan Lin sitting in the study, reading and drinking tea. He was deep in thought, stepped forward and saluted, "I see you, Your Majesty!"
Lan Lin held the tea in his right hand, lowered his head and sipped it gently, and then asked: "Are you ready to go to the hot spring resort?"
Lin Xie said: "Although Your Majesty wants to go to Quanquan Villa on a whim, you can't just leave after all. It takes time to prepare the things you will use. Please forgive me!"
Lan Lin smiled slightly, and then said: "Lin Xie, why do you look so bad! What's wrong?"
Lin Xie looked embarrassed, and then said: "Is Your Majesty really not going to take the concubines with him to the hot spring villa this time?"
"I'm going to cultivate my body and mind. Why do I take them with me? What's wrong?"
"I have heard a lot of gossip in recent days, saying that Your Majesty's trip to the Hot Spring Villa was privately instigated by me. I also said that you deliberately went without your concubine because you wanted to take the opportunity to talk to me... and me... "
At this point, Lin Xie didn't say anything further. Lan Lin put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Lin Xie's face that was red with embarrassment. He found it interesting and asked with interest: "I want to have sex with you when I take this opportunity." What?"
Lin Xie frowned and said, "Doing such unsightly things..."
Lan Lin chuckled, and then said: "Then we did it?"
"His Majesty--"
Seeing that Lin Xie was a little angry, Lan Lin couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha! Why should Eunuch Lin be angry? Let them say whatever they want in the harem..."
"Don't you care, Your Majesty? I think you should silence everyone's mouth. Otherwise, if rumors continue to spread in the palace, your Majesty's reputation will be tarnished! This time when I went to the hot spring villa, I asked your Majesty to select one or two concubines in the palace. Let’s drive together!”
Lan Lin sneered and said: "It seems that Eunuch Lin is very concerned about it. In this case, in your opinion, which concubines should I take with me this time?"
Lin Xie breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lan Lin was willing to take his concubine with him. His plan finally succeeded, and he immediately said: "Since she is His Majesty's concubine, only Your Majesty knows best. Naturally, I will take the concubine that His Majesty likes." Those concubines have gone!"
Lan Lin tapped the table lightly and said as if he suddenly remembered something: "Qingyi from Chenxi Palace is good. She has almost recovered from her recent illness. It's time to arrange for her to sleep with her!"
Lin Xie couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, but he had already planned this before coming, and he also expected that Lan Lin would appoint Qingyi to go with him. As Qingyi's lover, he would naturally not let her go.
He said, "Your Majesty, I just passed by the Imperial Pharmacy Department and found out that the Queen Qingyi accidentally sprained her foot when she returned to the palace last night. I'm afraid she shouldn't travel!"
"Oh? Did Qingyi twist his foot?"
"Yes, it was her personal maid Hua Jue who went to the Royal Medicine Department to get the medicine for her. She said that at yesterday's winter banquet, Queen Qingyi drank too much and drank a few more drinks, so when she returned to Chenxi Palace, she accidentally slipped on the snow. fall down."
Lan Lin frowned and sighed: "I see, that's a pity. If that's the case, let's let Concubine Mei, Concubine Liu, and Concubine Qin go with us!"
Lin Xie showed joy on his face and said quickly: "Yes, then I will go down and inform all the ladies so that they can prepare early!"
Lan Lin nodded. After Lin Xie left, he called the guards outside the door, and then whispered: "Rumors have been spreading around Zhuilan Palace in recent days. I want you to go down and check carefully. Who is causing trouble?" Cheating!"
"Yes——Your Majesty!"
Concubine Mei, Concubine Liu, and Concubine Qin received the escort and headed there.
I was very happy to be summoned to the Hot Spring Villa. Finally, the clouds cleared and the moon was bright. The palace of the three concubines began to be busy, publicizing that their queen would accompany the king to the Hot Spring Villa.
The concubines who failed to recruit for this trip were immediately furious. They went to Eunuch Lin to beg him to speak for them, and ran to Queen Ye Nong's palace to complain. After a while of busy work, Ye Nong had a splitting headache.
After finally sending them away, Ye Nong stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows. Eunuch Fu'an carefully served ginseng tea, and then said softly: "Queen, please calm down and let Xiao Anzi rub your shoulders!"
Ye Nong said: "Hmph! These concubines in the harem are getting more and more outrageous. It is a common thing for His Majesty to go to the hot spring villa and appoint a few concubines to accompany him. Why is it like a Chinese New Year? They all come to compete for favor and show favor to others. I complained and asked to accompany the king, but I don’t know what these careless things are thinking about every day!”
Fu'an gently rubbed her shoulders and whispered in a sharp voice: "Those empresses in the harem are just jealous, empresses don't need to be on the same level as them."
Ye Nong gently stroked the brass hand warmer in her arms and sneered: "They are so stupid as pigs, they don't even know that this is a deceit created by His Majesty!"
Fu'an whispered in his ear: "In my opinion, Your Majesty's game of chess is really wonderful! We just let the news out and asked the servants to spread the news about him and Eunuch Lin, and he immediately found out something. Realizing that in order to cover up his reputation, he unexpectedly thought of such a trick. He took the three concubines Mei Fei, Liu Fei and Qin Fei to the hot spring villa. Firstly, he cleared up the rumors, and secondly, he set off a jealousy in the harem. , causing chaos in the harem, diverting attention, and making you, the master of the harem, no peace."
