The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 23 He abandoned her for that woman again

It started to rain again outside, at first it was drizzling, but after a while the rain became stronger and it made a crackling sound on the cabin.

There was a constant sound of rain outside the cabin, and there was also a cloud and rain inside the cabin.

Afterwards, the two hugged each other and lay together.

Li Ling listened to the sound of rain outside and said to Jingshu: "It's raining so hard. I won't let you get exposed to the rain when I go back. Why don't we spend the night here today."

On such a rainy night, it is naturally very interesting for the newlyweds to stay in a boat together.

Jingshu agreed, buried her head in Li Ling's arms and fell asleep peacefully.

The night was getting darker, and the two of them were sleeping soundly. Suddenly, they heard someone calling urgently from outside: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you in there?"

It was Liang Jin's voice.

Li Ling heard the news and stood up quickly.

Jing Shu was also woken up and couldn't help but ask: "It's so late, what happened to Liang Jin?"

Li Ling replied while getting dressed: "Something may have gone wrong. Just stay here while I go out and take a look."

With that said, Li Ling was fully dressed and striding out.

Jingshu quickly got down to the ground, handed the umbrella to him, and said, "It's raining heavily outside, so take it with you."

Li Ling took the umbrella and warned, "I'll come as soon as I go. You go back and rest first."

Jing Shu sat on the couch and waited for a long time without seeing Li Ling return. She couldn't rest assured and was about to go out to look for him when she heard the cabin door creaking.

A woman wearing a raincoat came in.

The woman took off the raincoat, and Jingshu saw clearly that it was the boat woman.

The boatwoman saw Jingshu and greeted her with a smile.

Jing Shu asked: "Why is my mother-in-law here?"

The boatwoman replied: "Master Liang came to look for the prince. I brought him here in the boat."

Jing Shu looked outside and asked, "Where is the prince? Do you know what urgent matter Mr. Liang has to find him?"

The boatwoman wiped the rain off the old face with her sleeves and replied: "Master Liang will take the boat and leave first."

Li Ling is gone?

The boatwoman continued: "Something happened in the palace, and the prince rushed over in a hurry."

Something happened in the palace?

Jing Shu hurriedly asked: "Does mother-in-law know what happened in the palace?"

The boatwoman replied respectfully: "I was in a daze as I listened to Mr. Liang's words. It seems that the ninth princess in the palace has been poisoned."

Sure enough, it’s Qingluan again!

Jing Shu's heart suddenly sank, but she asked reluctantly: "Mother-in-law heard it right, is the Ninth Princess poisoned? She is a princess, and she has someone to take care of her every day. How could she be poisoned?"

?”

The boatwoman smiled and replied: "I don't know the details of the situation. I only heard a few words from Mr. Liang." After a pause, she continued: "I have also stayed in the palace for many years, and these things are not the same.

It’s not unusual.”

The harem is full of treacherous things, intrigues, and attacks and frame-ups are common. But Qingluan is just a princess, so who would harm her?

Jingshu asked dully: "Did the prince leave any words when he left?"

The mother-in-law replied: "Your Majesty ordered me to look after my wife, and said that I would wait until the rain stops tomorrow before sending her ashore."

Jingshu said calmly: "I understand, you go down and rest."

But the woman had no intention of leaving. She stepped forward and said to please her: "I am worried about leaving my wife here alone in the dark. Please let me stay with my wife to relieve her boredom."

As the distance got closer, Jingshu could smell the fishy smell of water on her body. She endured her nausea and replied, "I'm not afraid of the dark. It's late at night, so you should go down and sleep."

When the mother-in-law saw that Jingshu was determined to drive her away, she reluctantly left in three steps.

Jingshu sat on the couch blankly, feeling empty in her heart.

There was still the charming atmosphere of joy and love in the room. A moment ago, they were still in love with each other, and in the blink of an eye, he abandoned her again for that woman.

Not even a word of farewell.

Accompanied by bursts of rumbling thunder, the rain outside became heavier and heavier.

Thunder, heavy rain, such a terrifying late night, she thought of her husband running towards another woman desperately and anxiously.

Her heart throbbed.

Jingshu lay on her back on the bed, trying hard to hold back her tears, but the more she endured, the more her tears flowed out unsatisfactorily.

The dripping dripping wet a large area of ​​the pillow.

Drowsily, Jingshu vaguely heard the cabin door being opened again. Jingshu sat up suddenly and dimly saw a black figure coming in. She was so frightened that her heart pounded, and she had the courage to ask: "

Who is it?"

"Madam, don't be afraid, it's me."

It's the boat woman again.

"It's so late, what's wrong?" Jing Shu quickly tried to wipe away the tears on her face and asked.

The boatwoman came forward, carefully opened the gauze curtain, looked at Jingshu who was sitting on the couch and said: "There is thunder outside, I am worried that you will be scared."

With that said, she sat down beside the couch.

Jingshu didn't expect that the mother-in-law would come to her bed and smell the nauseating smell coming from her body. She was very unhappy and said with a dull face: "I'm not afraid of thunder, mother-in-law."

Get out."

The woman had a smile on her old face and said flatteringly to Jing Shu: "The water vapor on the boat is heavy, and my wife is delicate and tender, but you must not catch a cold. I made ginger tea for you all night, and you took advantage of her."

Just drink it hot."

With that said, the woman went down to the table and brought out a night of yellow soup and handed it to Jingshu.

Jingshu took it and politely thanked her mother-in-law.

For some reason, Jingshu felt uncomfortable being with this mother-in-law. She said to her, "Mother-in-law, please go down and rest. I'm going to sleep."

The woman smiled at her, showing her incomplete old teeth, and said, "I'll step aside now." After she stood up, she turned to stare at the soup bowl in Jing Shu's hand, and said, "Ma'am, while it's hot,

Drink the tea before going to sleep."

Jingshu nodded and urged: "Mother-in-law, please leave quickly."

After the old woman left, Jingshu put the soup bowl back, locked the cabin door from the inside under her clothes, and then lay back on the couch.

She closed her eyes and forced herself not to think about those things, but she felt extremely depressed.

She simply sat up again, draped herself with a quilt and leaned on the soft pillow, listening to the wind and rain outside.

In the haze, the cabin door creaked, as if someone was coming in.

She had obviously locked the door.

Jingshu was so shocked that her hair stood on end. Just as she was about to get up the courage to get up and go to the ground to take a look, she saw that the bed curtain was suddenly lifted.

"Ah! Who?" Jing Shu exclaimed.

The man didn't expect that Jingshu was still awake and trembled.
