The whole journey back to the palace was silent.
Lian Suisui rolled up Chu Zhiyi's bedding and threw it to Shuying.
"Princess, what are you doing?"
Shuying turned back and glanced at Chu Zhiyi. The master and servant were blocked outside the door.
"Don't do anything. No matter how loving a couple is, they will quarrel sometimes. I quarreled with your prince. Now we sleep in separate rooms. Anyone who has any objections can just hold it in!"
Lian Suisui finally understood that Chu Zhiyi was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, playing with her kindness. Well, he pretended to be weak and miserable, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, but in the end he could kill a tiger with his bare hands in another place.
Is this guy afraid of the rats hiding in the shadows and plotting against him?
Not sure who is plotting against whom.
How could she be so innocent and kind-hearted that she believed this guy's disguise?
Take it off for fun...
Chu Zhiyi covered his lips and coughed, and just put his palm on his heart. He wanted to say that he had suffered internal injuries, but he didn't know if she would believe it.
The door slammed shut.
His shadow was lengthened by the candlelight emitted from the lantern. The breeze swept the leaves on the tree, and the rustling sound was masked by the unknown sound of insects.
"master……"
Shu Ying bit the bullet and said, "How about my subordinates help you clean up the room next door?"
Miscalculated.
Chu Zhiyi sat down on the steps in front of the door and looked up at the stars in the sky.
Shuying, who didn't get a reply, tidied up the room quickly.
"Master, please go to bed early and I will leave."
His buttocks still hurt, and Shuying really didn't want to get into trouble with his master at this time.
The night was so quiet that Lian Suisui did a set of boxing in the room, washed up and lay down.
She couldn't make the final decision on her fourth sister's marriage, but she could always do something, otherwise she would feel unhappy.
She got up, dug out her precious bottles and jars, picked out the things that could be used in the back house, and recorded them one by one, preparing to return to Lian Mansion at dawn to defend Lian Xiao.
After cleaning up, I thought that Lian Xiaoxiao was getting married and was going to be a concubine. He brought so many poisons with him, so he was not rushing to give others an excuse. If he didn't keep it safe and was framed for murdering the prince, not only would Lian Xiaoxiao not be able to save it, , even the entire family cannot be saved.
Moreover, in the back house, it is not like traveling in the world, so there is no need for these things.
After much thought, I could only give up.
"Xiao Tao, go and bring a box of silver for me!"
I need one or two taels of silver. The only thing that can be used in the back house is silver, and prepare some small denomination banknotes.
It was all she could do.
Even Sui Sui is still very decadent. He doesn't sleep well at night and opens his eyes early in the morning.
"Miss, it's still early, you can sleep a little longer."
"Won't sleep anymore."
Today is the agreed three-day period, which means that the sedan chair from Prince Yun's Mansion will go to Lian Mansion to pick up someone today.
She had to rush there as soon as possible.
Miaoshoutang opens for business early in the morning.
The first guest who came to the door was a young man wearing a veil.
"Our young master is looking for Dr. Wu."
Doctor Qian is getting older and sleeps less, so he sits in the hall early to do business. Ning holds a broom in his hand, yawns and goes to the door to sweep the floor.
"Oh, Doctor Wu is washing his hands in the backyard. Please wait a moment."
The reputation of Beiqian Nanwu was so loud that many people came here before dawn. Ning Er was used to it and shouted to Xiao Wei who was cleaning the table.
"Xiaowei, go tell Doctor Wu that someone is coming to see him."
Xiaowei put down the rag and ran to the backyard, but didn't come back for a long time.
"Isn't Doctor Wu in the store?"
The young man spoke with interest.
After the words fell, Doctor Wu came out of the backyard with a dark face.
"Where does it hurt?"
He walked straight to his seat and sat down, setting up a consultation table.
Mr. Yu sat down on the stool in front of him, ordered his entourage to pull down the curtain, and looked at him with his chin in his hands.
"What are you looking at me for?"
"That little girl is going to be a concubine in Prince Yun's Mansion today."
He reminded me.
Doctor Wu said with a cold face: "Why are you telling me this? Does it have anything to do with me?"
"Tsk, how heartless."
Mr. Yu lowered his eyes.
"Go and grab a pair of Shenqi pills. You look sluggish. You should take some tonic to recuperate your body."
Mr. Yu blinked his eyes.
"Hey, you see clearly, I'm not that weak, you quack!"
He was the first to arrive but left in a hurry. Doctor Qian heard the noise and looked over.
"This guest has a lot of problems. He refuses to get medical treatment. He doesn't let anyone tell him about his illness. I've never seen anyone who even the doctor avoids it..."
Doctor Wu quietly packed his place.
"Mr. Qian, I have something to do today and I am going out. Please take care of me in the store."
Doctor Qian held a cup of health tea and waved his hand: "Go."
Doctor Wu left the courtyard through the back door, walked along the back alley, passed through the early morning crowd, and when he appeared on the street again, he had transformed into a completely unfamiliar appearance that no one could recognize.
He grabbed a straw hat and put it on his head, disguised himself as a street vendor and came to the gate of Lianfu.
The carriage of the Ninth Prince's Mansion stopped, and Lian Suisui was holding the heavy wooden box.
Prince Yun's carriage stopped behind her, and Prince Yun got out of the carriage waving his fan.
"I've met Auntie Huang."
He gave Lian Suisui a courtesy without much respect.
"What a coincidence. What a coincidence."
He looked at Lian Suisui and smiled evilly.
"Speaking of which, Auntie Huang's ninth uncle's marriage... you have to thank me for!"
He meant something. When Lian Suisui was still engaged to Cheng Wang, he was afraid that the world would not mess up the two of them and put them in the same room. If this could be regarded as merit, Lian Suisui would thank him for eight generations of his ancestors.
"I didn't expect that the king would be lucky enough to take the emperor's sister into the palace as a concubine. Auntie, don't worry, the king will treat the fourth lady well..."
Lian Suisui clenched his fists, wishing he could punch holes in him!
The street vendors were wandering around nearby ringing their bells. Lian Fangyu came out to welcome King Yun into the palace.
The fact that King Yun came to the house to take a concubine fully demonstrated that King Yun valued the Lian family and Lian Xiaoxiao.
Lian Suisui followed the two of them through the door.
"After the fourth lady enters the palace, she must be careful in her words and deeds, treat others tolerantly, and don't compete with others. She must behave herself in front of the princess and the queen, and don't let others find fault."
Lian Xiaoxiao was wearing a peach-pink dress today, and Mrs. Liu helped her comb her hair while crying.
"The human heart is made of flesh. As time goes by, people in the palace can also see the temper of the fourth lady. It will be a difficult two years ahead, but it will get better in the future..."
Mrs. Liu imparted her few experiences to Lian Xiaoxiao. Looking at the flower-like Lian Xiaoxiao in the bronze mirror, she couldn't help but start to cry again.
"Auntie has never seen the world. I will not harm you. You will live a good life after arriving at the palace, do you understand?"
She explained these sentences over and over again, and Lian Xiao answered them one by one, looking at herself in the bronze mirror who was not happy at all.
"Don't worry, aunt, I know."
"Fourth sister!"
When Lian Suisui came in and saw this scene, he couldn't bear to say, "Has Fourth Sister made up her mind? It's still too late..."
The fake death medicine is hidden in her sleeve. As long as she says she regrets it and as long as she doesn't get on the sedan chair of Prince Yun's Mansion, everything will still have a chance to change!
"Auntie, King Yun is here in person!"
The mother-in-law beside Mrs. Liu ran in from outside excitedly, "The prince has personally come to pick up our fourth young lady!"
"The prince is here in person?"
Mrs. Liu excitedly dipped her palms in tea and wiped her hair.
"Fourth Miss, look, what an honor this is for a woman! You can't do anything to disgrace King Yun!"
