Lin Xie smiled slightly and said: "Yes - Your Majesty!"
Lan Lin looked at Lin Xie's ungrateful smile and felt that there was really nothing he could do against him. He thought to himself that this kid was so evil-minded that he didn't want to make himself feel better. Did he also want to get three concubines to chatter in his ears?
After drinking the medicine, Lan Lin continued to fall asleep again. This time, he did not dream about Changting or Lin Xie.
When Lan Lin went to the hot spring villa, Queen Ye Nong took the opportunity to take action, but she never dreamed that someone would almost kill Lan Lin, the chasing orchid king, for her.
Qingyi was also feeling uneasy inside, but on the surface, she couldn't let anyone see her worry.
Although she kept saying that she regarded Hua Jue as a sister, she still understood that her life was in her own hands. Even the closest people could not talk about the fatal secret between her and Lin Xie, otherwise it would become a threat to their lives in the future. handle.
During this period, Hua Jue went to the Royal Pharmacy Department to get medicine and met the young eunuch named Nian Sheng. The two were actually similar in age. Although they were sworn enemies, they became familiar with each other after going back and forth.
Knowing that Nian Sheng is the kind of child with a simple nature and no hostility towards others, Hua Jue naturally no longer hates him.
Hua Jue took the medicine for Qingyi and walked with Nian Sheng in the long corridor of Zhui Lan Palace. The red walls and white snow seemed to become a long picture of the lonely palace.
As Nian Sheng walked, he asked Hua Jue: "Hua Jue, is your Queen Qingyi's foot injury getting better?"
Hua Jue said: "Your Majesty's foot injury is almost healed. It's a pity that she sprained her foot this time, otherwise she would have been able to accompany Your Majesty to the hot spring villa. Didn't you see the maids serving Mei Fei, Liu Fei and Qin Fei? How airy you have been these past few days... Well, come to think of it, I have to blame your father-in-law Lin for being so abominable! If it weren't for his obstruction, how would my wife, Qingyi, have lost this excellent opportunity?"
Nian Sheng wrinkled his hairy eyebrows like spring silkworms, pouted his little mouth and said:
"There's no reason for you to be weird. My Eunuch Lin obviously means well. Think about it, the road to the hot spring villa is rugged and mountainous. It would be pointless for your mother-in-law to go there reluctantly. Besides, you can't blame Eunuch Lin for spraining her foot."
"Do you still remember that day in the Royal Garden, Eunuch Lin said that he would order someone to take you back, but your wife Qingyi seemed to dislike seeing him. She sprained her foot because she didn't accept his favor. Speaking of which, It has nothing to do with my Eunuch Lin at all. If you have to blame someone, just blame the snow!"
After saying that, Nian Sheng pointed at the wet and slippery snow on the ground.
Hua Jue laughed while holding the medicine, and then said: "Hahaha! Nian Sheng, what you said seems to make sense! My empress Qingyi and your Eunuch Lin seem to be natural enemies. On the other hand, we servants can't do anything about it, but according to what you said, that Eunuch Lin doesn't seem to be a bad person!"
Nian Sheng nodded and said:
"Well, of course he is not a bad person. You don't know that before he entered the palace, I was a firewood burner in the imperial kitchen. I had to help them carry water and chop firewood before dawn. There were all kinds of dirty and tiring jobs in the imperial kitchen. I am still bullied by them all day long."
"Fortunately, I met Eunuch Lin. That day he saw me being bullied, having water poured all over me, and squatting by the well to wash dishes. My hands were frostbitten from the ice water, so he came over and asked Me, who got your clothes wet?"
"There is hot water in the imperial dining room. Why don't you use hot water to wash the dishes? Why don't you use cold water to wash the dishes? How dare I say that I was bullied by the people in the imperial dining room, so I can't stay in the imperial dining room anymore. I just I can hold back my grievance and say that the clothes on my body got wet when I fetched water from the well, and I like to wash the bowls with cold water."
"Eunuch Lin shook his head and said, "Where can anyone get water to get their back wet? Who would like to use cold water to wash dishes in winter? Isn't it freezing? Look at your hands, they are swollen like ten radishes. If you keep doing this It has to be abolished. I know you must have been wronged, but you are afraid of injuring others and dare not say anything, right? From now on, just follow me! I won’t let anyone bully you anymore! That’s why I followed Eunuch Lin, he is a kind-hearted person, I like him very much!"
When Hua Jue heard this, he couldn't help lowering his head and thinking: "So Eunuch Lin is really a good person. He can speak for us slaves, and he doesn't treat us as slaves, and he is willing to take care of us!"
Nian Sheng nodded, looked down at the snow under his feet and said: "Yes, maybe because Eunuch Lin is also a slave and has been bullied by his master, he understands how to sympathize with the difficulties of slaves like us! "
After hearing this, Hua Jue suddenly became interested. Seeing no one around, he grabbed Nian Sheng and asked, "Nian Sheng, let me ask you, are there rumors in the palace of Zhui Lan that there is an affair between your Eunuch Lin and His Majesty?" Is the relationship between Qing and Qing really true?"
Nian Sheng's eyes widened and he looked at Hua Jue and said, "You...what are you talking about! My Eunuch Lin is innocent, how could he have such a thing with His Majesty?"
Hua Jue said with a bad smile: "Don't pretend, this rumor can't be groundless. There must be something, otherwise how could anyone spread it?"
Nian Sheng hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Hua Jue, rumors harm people, you can't follow the nonsense!"
Hua Jue raised his head and blinked: "Let me ask you, do you dare to vouch for it? When your father-in-law Lin was on duty at Yuqian Palace, did you follow him all the time? The two of them closed the door. Do you know everything that happened in Yuqian Palace?"
"I...of course I don't know!" Nian Sheng was speechless by her question.
Hua Jue said sternly: "That's right, maybe His Majesty forced your Eunuch Lin to do it? Think about it, as a slave, if Your Majesty wants it, can he not give it to you?"
"Ah - Hua Jue, you are so dirty! I don't want to hear it anymore!" Nian Sheng reached out to cover his ears angrily.
Hua Jue was amused by him and giggled, and then said: "You kid, it is your little head that is dirty. What I said in my mouth is not that dirty. Who knows that your little head is running fast at the moment, thinking What a mess!"
"You...you...you! Hua Jue, I won't play with you anymore!"
After Nian Sheng finished speaking, he covered his ears and ran away clumsily like a penguin in the snow.
Hua Jue behind him laughed all the way.
Hot spring villa.
Lan Lin rested in the hot spring villa for a few days. The injuries on his body slowly healed, and there was nothing serious about his body.
Concubine Mei, Concubine Liu, and Concubine Qin simply thought that their majesty was just infected with the cold and did not raise any suspicion. Once they saw that his majesty was starting to feel energetic, they thought about sleeping with him again.
Seeing that His Majesty was infected with the cold and was delayed for a long time in the Hot Spring Villa, they were ready to seize the time to complete their plan to sleep with him, so they tried every means to please and flatter him, and they competed for who would stay to sleep with him tonight.
In order to compete for this opportunity to sleep with him, they all came to Lin Xie for help.
"Eunuch Lin! Eunuch Lin! I think your majesty's cold is almost healed. You must miss Concubine Mei's dancing. Why don't you arrange for me to serve your majesty tonight!" Concubine Mei couldn't wait to say.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Liu stepped forward and knocked away Concubine Mei's slender waist, then occupied the main seat, approached Lin Xie who was sitting on the stone table and said: "Hey, Eunuch Lin! Look at my hands. It's soft and soft. Your Majesty is infected with the cold and is exhausted physically and mentally. You don't have time to watch any dances. Why don't you let me go and give your Majesty a good massage so that he can relax and feel comfortable!"
Concubine Qin came over with her Yao Qin in her arms. With a swing of the Yao Qin in her hand, Concubine Liu's hair bun with beaded flowers was knocked crooked. She rolled her eyes at her, and then calmly stood on the stone bench beside her. He sat down and blinked, looking at Lin Xie charmingly.
She said softly: "Eunuch Lin - what they said is wrong. Your Majesty should want to hear Concubine Qin playing the piano most at this moment. Your Majesty once said that Concubine Qin's music is sweet and can make people fall asleep!"
Lin Xie thought to himself, you have been playing the piano all night and have done nothing. No wonder His Majesty said that your piano can make him sleepy.
Lin Xie suppressed his laughter and said with a humble face: "The three empresses all have their own merits. Your Majesty has been suffering from cold for many days, so he must have missed the skills of the three empresses very much, but..."
"Just what?" Concubine Mei, Concubine Liu, and Concubine Qin hurriedly came forward and asked.
Lin Xie smiled and said: "It's just that the three empresses are too perfect. If I were Your Majesty, I would find it difficult to make a choice. How should I arrange my bed tonight?"
Concubine Mei, Concubine Liu, and Concubine Qin were pretentious and said in unison: "Of course I am!"
Only now did Lin Xie understand why Lan Lin ordered these three empresses to go with him. He was really stupid and innocent.
Here, Concubine Mei, Concubine Liu, and Concubine Qin are discussing with Lin Xie the important issue of who will attend the bed tonight. Here, Lan Lin is drinking tea in the tea room. The door of the tea room is open, and he is sitting inside tasting the tea. Tea.
Suddenly a person rushed in from outside, stretched out his hand and pulled half of the door over, covering his body.
Lan Lin looked up and saw that this person was Chang Si.
Lan Lin's expression did not change, he still held the white jade tea cup, raised his eyes to look at Chang Si, and then said: "I know you haven't left Suoyun Lake yet, what's the matter? Do you still want to come to Gu to avenge your dead brother? ?”
Changsi said: "You didn't order anyone to hunt me down!"
"That's not necessary!" Lan Lin lowered his head to drink tea, his figure calm, and there was no hint of inner panic.
The guards protecting him were standing not far away. As long as he shouted, they would come to escort him, but he just glanced at the guard with his back turned and said nothing.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Chang Si, then praised: "You are as courageous as your brother! Your martial arts are also good!"
Chang Si looked at him and asked: "You...you still think about my brother, so you fall in love with someone who looks very similar to him, right?"
Faced with Chang Si's question, Lan Lin couldn't avoid it. The words went straight to his heart, and they came from the brother of his deceased lover. He had to answer.
He can not be honest in front of anyone, but he cannot be honest with a dead person. In that case, he will feel that he is sorry for Changting, but how should he talk about this topic? He didn't know clearly either.
