Loyang Jin

What is the real mystery of this potion?

Wei Yan didn't explain, and Ling Jingshu didn't ask any questions. He just nodded cautiously: "Don't worry, I know the severity and no one will notice."

Wei Yan thought for a while, then whispered: "You have to be mentally prepared for the worst. If it is discovered that you can't cover it up, you will confess me. Just say that I am trying to repay a favor and force you to do so." You did this. No matter what, the most important thing is to protect yourself.”

Ling Jingshu frowned slightly and was about to say something when Wei Yan quickly said: "You have only been in the palace for three months. You have been serving flowers and plants in Jiaofang Hall all day long and have almost never left Jiaofang Hall. Every move you make is under the control of Queen Xu." Under my nose. Queen Xu didn’t have any good intentions when she summoned you to the palace. No matter how good you are, you can’t become Queen Xu’s confidant.”

"As for me, you don't have to worry. I have been in the palace for so many years, and I have my own connections secretly. Even in the Jiaofang Palace, if I want to send a message secretly to anyone, it will not be noticed by Queen Xu. There are also the Emperor and Sister, there is nothing I can do about it, Queen Xu.”

"So, when the critical moment comes, you must not hesitate to blame everything on me. Save your own life first and wait for me to save you."

Wei Yan said it very solemnly.

Ling Jingshu didn't show any pretense and quickly nodded in agreement.

Wei Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and lowered his voice and said the name of the chamberlain: "If you encounter a critical situation, ask Bai Yu to find him, and he will pass the news to me."

Ling Jingshu recited it silently in her mind several times and remembered the name firmly.

Time alone is cherished and rare.

After Wei Yan finished talking about the business, it was time to leave. But he couldn't move, his eyes lingering on her pretty face.

How wonderful it would be if time stopped at this moment!

Wei Yan sighed secretly, cheered up and said, "Anyway, please take care of yourself. I can't stay here any longer, so I'll leave now."

Ling Jingshu felt a little reluctant to leave, and hummed softly.

After entering the palace, the two of them were obviously closer, and there were fewer opportunities to see each other.

After this time, I wonder when the next time we will meet and talk alone will be.

…

After Wei Yan left, Bai Yu quickly entered the peony room and explained in a low voice: "When the slave girl was moving the peony out just now, Doctor Wei came. He ordered the slave girl and Tiandong to guard the outside for ventilation, and said I have something to say to the lady alone, so I agreed."

"Fortunately, this place is remote and quiet, and almost no one comes here on weekdays. Doctor Wei comes and goes, so no one should notice."

After saying that, he asked tentatively: "Miss, is it because of your illness that Imperial Doctor Wei came to see you specifically?"

Ling Jingshu nodded calmly: "Yes, he wanted to continue prescribing medicine for me, but I politely declined. After all, we are in the palace. I make medicine and drink medicine every day. I can't hide it from others, and it is too conspicuous. ”

Bai Yu did not doubt that he was there, and sighed and said: "That's right. This medicine can only be stopped first."

"By the way, don't tell Qiao Yun that Imperial Doctor Wei came to see me today." Ling Jingshu warned in a low voice.

Bai Yu nodded and agreed.

After finishing the errands in Peony's room, it was getting late.

Ling Jingshu and Bai Yu moved the flower pots for a long time, sweating all over and feeling very tired.

Qiaoyun came forward and said with a smile: "Miss, you and Bai Yu must be tired and exhausted. I brought two buckets of hot water back from the kitchen and have already mixed them with cold water. Let's take a bath to relieve our fatigue. !”

Qiaoyun followed Ling Jingshu to the Peony Room to do work on weekdays. Every few days he would disappear like this afternoon. It was assumed that he secretly went to the palace liaison to spread the news.

Ling Jingshu never asked more questions, and responded with a smile: "You are very attentive, I just want to take a bath!"

Qiaoyun smiled at Bai Yu again and said, "You can also go back to the house to take a shower and change clothes. I will take care of you, Miss."

Bai Yu smelled the sweat on his body and was not polite to Qiao Yun: "That's fine."

…

Qiaoyun came forward and helped Ling Jingshu change her clothes.

The purse containing the porcelain bottle was placed in the hidden pocket of the dress.

When Qiaoyun was placing her clothes, she naturally took out her purse first and said with a smile, "What did Miss bring in her purse today? It seems a little heavier than usual."

Moreover, it feels a little strange.

There seemed to be a bottle-like object placed in the soft purse.

Ling Jingshu's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't reveal anything on her face. She responded casually: "I go to the peony room to work every day. I'm afraid of getting sunburned, so I brought a bottle of scented lotion with me, which I can apply on my face and arms. ”

It is natural for women to love beauty.

No matter how careful and perceptive Qiaoyun is, he never thought of the twists and turns involved. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "In the past, the slaves were too careless. I should have reminded the lady to bring some scented dew."

As he spoke, he put his purse on the table.

Ling Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thought that she would have to put this porcelain bottle away in the future.

After taking off her clothes and soaking in the warm water for a while, Ling Jingshu sighed happily and comfortably.

Qiao Yun washed Ling Jingshu's long hair gently and carefully, then wiped her body and changed into clean clothes. Then wipe your long hair clean.

After doing this, Qiao Yun took out a small bamboo tube from his sleeve and stuffed it into Ling Jingshu's hand.

There is a rolled letter paper stuffed in the bamboo tube.

Ling Jingshu was startled and looked up at Qiaoyun: "What is this?"

Qiao Yun replied respectfully: "His Highness ordered someone to pass this to the lady. Please burn the letter after reading it to avoid future troubles."

After saying that, he withdrew.

Ling Jingshu held the bamboo tube and felt a complicated and unspeakable feeling in her heart.

Today is the day of his wedding. He is the proud groom with all eyes on him, marrying a beautiful woman... At this time, he actually has someone send a message to her in the palace?

The light bamboo tube feels strangely heavy in the hand.

Ling Jingshu hesitated for a long time before taking the paper roll out of the bamboo tube and opening it.

There are only a few lines of words on the thin letter paper. The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, but also a little messy. Obviously, when he wrote these lines, he was not in a calm mood.

Ling Jingshu, I am getting married today. I am going to marry a cousin of the Jiang family. The woman I really like in my heart is you, and you are the one I want to marry. It's a pity that things didn't work as expected. It was someone else who became my wife, not you.

It was you who rejected me yourself.

Now, you are watching me marry someone else. Do you regret it? Even just a little bit?

Ling Jingshu looked at the letter, was silent for a moment, and then put the letter close to the candlelight.

The letter was quickly burned clean, leaving no trace except for a little ashes on the ground.
