First Concubine

Chapter 273 Separation of flesh and blood (5)

"Okay, thank you, eldest sister." Shui Lingyue was not pretentious, nodded, and choked out: "I wanted to enter the palace, and you wanted to stay away from the palace. Who would have thought that fate would play a trick on me, I would go out, but you... came in . I often wonder, if I respected you as much as Fifth Sister from the beginning, would you also protect me like Fifth Sister?"

Shui Linglong smiled with red eyes, "No."

 Puch - Shui Lingyue burst into tears and smiled, "It's so straightforward."

Si Xi turned around and wiped her tears. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she said, "By the way, Concubine Chen, when I was watching the second young lady that night, I heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and the door panel ringing from the next room. Then it seemed like someone was coming. After walking out of the room, there was more than one person. The servant felt guilty and did not dare to open the door to look. After the footsteps were far away, the servant had the courage to go out. As soon as he took a step, he heard something like something coming from the room over there. "Help, help," and the like. Oh, and this, the veil that the slave found on the porch."

Shui Linglong took the handkerchief and looked at it carefully. She felt that Clivia looked very familiar, "The room you pointed to should be where Yao Xin and Dong Jialin rested. If I remember correctly, Jin Jue went to Huibin Pavilion. There are only three people left, Yao Xin, Dong Jialin and Feng Yanying. You said there were more than one footsteps, but Dong Jialin insisted that Yao Xin went out alone. "

 “I didn’t lie!” Si Xiyi said sternly: “I swear that I will be happy for the rest of my life, and I will never lie!”

So, Dong Jialin is lying, but who is chasing Yao Xin? Feng Yanying who cut her arm? Or is it Dong Jialin who claims to have almost had a miscarriage? If Dong Jialin really almost had a miscarriage, the top priority must be to protect the fetus, not to chase Yao Xin all over the street to sneak attack. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that she attacked Yao Xin secretly and deliberately pretended to be a sign of miscarriage to eliminate suspicion. Assuming that it was really Yao Xin that she was chasing, then it was Feng Yanying who stayed in the room. Feng Yanying was going to cover for Dong Jialin. How could she call for help just because of a scratch on her arm? Wouldn't it be too easy to attract the maid and discover that Dong Jialin is not in the room? After reasoning, Shui Linglong immediately concluded that Feng Yanying caught up with Yao Xin and attacked Yao Xin. This handkerchief... belonged to Feng Yanying!

“They left before you, did you notice there was blood on the ground at that time?” Shui Linglong asked Si Xi with a hint of hope.

Si Xi tried his best to think about it and then shook his head, "No! The ground is clean!"

 So, Feng Yanying was not injured! The large pool of blood in the room came from Dong Jialin. Feng Yanying was there to do bad things. If it wasn't a life and death situation, Dong Jialin would not blindly call for help because she had to cover for Feng Yanying.

Shui Lingyue observed Shui Linglong's increasingly cold eyes, vaguely guessed something, and kindly reminded her, "Be careful of Dong Jialin! The more kind-hearted a person is on the surface, the more unprepared he will be when he attacks."

Shui Linglong nodded and gave some instructions to Zhi Fan. Zhi Fan turned around and entered the inner room. After a while, he came out with a baggage. Shui Linglong said: "Not long after Sixth Sister's full moon, I went back to Shangshu Mansion. Aunt Zhou asked me to take care of her." When these shoes were delivered to you, she said that your feet were different from ordinary people’s feet and were prone to falling, so she improved the shoes so that they look inconspicuous but are very comfortable to wear.”

 Sixth sister is two and a half years old... Shui Lingyue holds the shoe as if it were a red iron.

 The night is cool and windy. Aunt Zhou was sitting on the bedside, picking up the soles of her shoes and humming a lullaby that she knew by heart. She shed tears as she sang. Miss Six climbed out of the quilt and asked softly, "Auntie, do you miss your sister again? Why doesn't your sister come back to see us?"

Aunt Zhou said calmly: "Your fourth sister is the empress of the palace. She is very busy and has no time to come back."

Miss Six tilted her head and said, "If she doesn't come back, why are you making so many shoes? Mama Gao said you made two boxes! She won't wear them!"

Aunt Zhou held back her tears and said with a smile: "When Miss Six grows up, I will help my aunt bring the shoes to the palace, okay?"

Miss Six smiled and said: "Okay!" After saying that, she hugged her mother's head habitually, looked at it for a while and said: "There are two more white hairs, I will pull them out for you!"

"Let me do it."

A soft voice suddenly sounded, and Aunt Zhou trembled all over. She looked at the door in disbelief, and saw the face that had lingered in her dreams countless times, slowly opening into a smile, "Mom, I'm back..."

In the Yuzhao Palace, Li Cai'er covered her face with a fan and said with a smile: "Concubines are all mediocre, and they never dare to boast of their beauty."

Wu Lian'er echoed: "In terms of appearance, if we look at the entire harem, no one can compare with Sister Hui. One day, Sister Hui will win a man at one stroke, and she will be granted the title of concubine just around the corner!"

Dong Jialin smiled and said: "Sisters are ridiculous. Concubine Chen loves her so much that I dare not compete with the glory of the firefly. In terms of position, this phoenix seal should be controlled by sister Concubine Chen, but the emperor loves her so much. Leave this hard work to me.”

Li Cai'er and Wu Lian'er looked at each other, both smiled and did not answer. Dong Jialin continued: "The emperor stayed at the Chen Palace for three nights in a row. I spent a lot of time to persuade the emperor to get the rain and dew. It's just the name of the respectful room..."

Li Cai'er and Wu Lian'er's hearts seemed to be caught by hooks, and they also straightened their backs. Wu Lian'er was outspoken and asked first, "Isn't Concubine Chen pregnant? How can she still sleep with her?" You Qiu said. She’s still carrying someone else’s child! This is no secret. This new emperor really created countless precedents in the history of the Zhou Dynasty. Everything he did was difficult for historians to write down.

Dong Jialin smiled meaningfully and said: "Yes, this body has fascinated the emperor. If it is completely convenient in the future... Oh! Forget it, I am too heavy to serve the emperor. The two younger sisters are young She is so beautiful that she doesn’t want to die in the palace without even being able to see the emperor!”

Wu Lian'er didn't take it too seriously, but Li Cai'er's eyes narrowed and she said, "What do you want us to do?"

 …

Out of Yuzhao Palace, Wu Lian'er took Li Cai'er's hand and went into the peach blossom forest nearby, "Hey! Do we really want to join Hui Zhaoyi?"

Li Caier dusted her sleeves and hummed: "You fool! Of course, you will go to whoever is favored! There are few concubines now, and the factions are not obvious. When the show is held in the fall, it will be too late for you and me to find a backer." "

Wu Lian'er frowned, "Concubine Chen is pregnant with Zhuge Yu's child. After all, she can't compare to Hui Zhaoyi. Once the emperor's freshness wears off, Concubine Chen will probably end up in the cold palace."

Li Cai'er nodded her forehead, "You are stupid, you are really stupid! Just because she is pregnant with someone else's child, the emperor loves her so much, which shows that the emperor really loves her to the core. I can't be sure, wait for her. When will the emperor's son be born, the crown prince..."

Wu Lian'er was in pain and glared at her angrily. Then he rubbed the place where she had pressed her and asked, "Didn't the emperor appoint the queen's son to be the heir apparent?"

Li Cai'er shook her head and said something else: "You are stupid! What if the queen never gives birth to a son?"

After the two left, Myolie, who was hiding in the dark, reported the conversation between the two to Dong Jialin in detail. Dong Jialin turned livid with anger, "I knew it wouldn't be that easy to suppress them, but they may not underestimate me too much." !”

Xing'er analyzed: "Actually, I think the biggest threat is not the Crown Princess, but the fetus in the Queen's belly. If she gives birth to a prince, you won't be able to compete for the throne. How about... aborting her fetus?"

Dong Jialin rubbed her swollen temples, "No, once her fetus is gone, the emperor will perform an operation on her immediately, and she will testify against me as soon as she wakes up. I am still weak and cannot defeat her. She will sleep for at least half a year. , the most important thing right now is to solve the big problem of Shui Linglong!"

In the Chen Palace, Shui Linglong drank a glass of milk. Zhi Fan walked in with small steps and said solemnly: "Li Zhaorong and Wu Guifei went to Hui Zhaoyi's Yuzhao Palace."

Liu Lu sneered disdainfully, "He started jumping around again! White-eyed wolf! Who took in her and her brother in trouble in the first place? She turned around and left the queen half dead!"

Obviously, everyone is convinced that Dong Jialin is the culprit who tortured Yao Xin. Does Xun Feng know? Shui Linglong felt that Xun Feng must have guessed it with his ability. On the one hand, Xun Feng could take the opportunity to surrender to the Yao family, which would be a good thing; on the other hand, Dong Jialin was pregnant with his child, even for the piece of meat in his belly, he would The matter will not be thoroughly investigated.

"Miss, please go and watch her, watch her to death, see what tricks she can do!" Liu Lu said angrily.

Shui Linglong pressed her eyebrows, and Yun Danfeng said lightly: "It's useless to stare at her."

“Who are you looking at?” Liu Lu asked.

Shui Linglong dipped her fingertips in some tea and wrote a surname on the table.
