Chunman Palace

Chapter 43
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Qingyu returned to the palace from Huachen Palace, and saw that Chang Xiuru was already waiting at the gate of the palace.

"Why is Sister Chang here?"

Chang Xiuru looked at her with a strange look, and said hesitantly, "Did you...stay in Huachen Palace last night?"

Lin Qingyu blushed and nodded, "Yes."

It turned out that the emperor didn't ask her to ask questions, but called her to wait on... Heh, Bai taught himself to be more concerned. Last night, he was still worried about her and wanted to explain it for her. He was so stupid.

Chang Xiuru pretended to be relaxed and said: "That's really congratulations to my sister. Not everyone can have the honor of staying in Huachen Palace. Back then, I only got it three times."

"Sister Chang is stunningly beautiful, and Qingyu naturally cannot match the favor she has received." Lin Qingyu still looked humble.

Seeing people being favored and knowing how to be courteous and flattering, Chang Xiuru smiled quite admirably, then stopped smiling, and said seriously: "Okay, let's not talk about that, I have something important to talk to you about today. explain."

There were many people talking outside the palace gate, so Lin Qingyu stretched out his hand to invite inside, "Then please come in and talk, sister." Then he told the maid beside him: "Mo'er, go prepare tea."

"No need, you can go directly to Fujingxuan with me." Chang Xiuru paused, and then said: "Sister Mu's injury is also recovering, and she also wants to talk to you about herself."

Lin Qingyu's eyes lit up and said: "Okay, sister Chang, please wait for Qingyu to change clothes before going with my sister."

"Go."

Shuang'er looked at the back of the person, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Madam, it stands to reason that Lin Changzai should salute you and call herself a "concubine". Now she is so unrespectful, I am afraid that she will develop a habit in the future, let alone respect Madam gone."

Chang Xiuru snorted nonchalantly, thinking it was amused, "Are you overthinking? I just call each other sisters for Sister Mu's sake. How dare she neglect Bengong?"

"Having said that, there is no guarantee that one day Lin Changzai's status will surpass that of the empress. When that day really comes, will the empress still plan to be commensurate with Lin Changzai's sister? After all, she is not a noble person, and it is not easy to control." Mo'er In every sentence of proverbs, the syllables are emphasized intentionally.

Chang Xiuru said unhappily: "But Sister Mu obviously intends to get close to her, what can I do?"

She already had this intention in her heart, and now she is even more tempted by Shuang'er's words. If possible, she would definitely not let a lowly person like Lin Qingyu get in touch with her at all.

Shuang'er saw that his mother's face was a bit peaceful, but she also had intentions and no plan, so she suggested: "My mother doesn't want to raise tigers, and I don't need to tear myself apart with her, all I need is you to say this..."

Chang Xiuru was amused to see Renshen's mysterious look, but she leaned over to listen to the man's words, then nodded in satisfaction, and left with him.

When Lin Qingyu changed her clothes and came out, Chang Xiuru's master and servant were no longer there.

Lingqiao muttered beside him: "My lord, what do you mean? You were obviously invited to go with me, why is there no one here?"

"Don't lie, Sister Chang is already tired from waiting for me at the gate of the palace early in the morning, so it makes sense to leave first."

Lingqiao raised her doubts in her heart: "But my lord, the concubine Chang has been waiting for so long, how long will it take to wait for the lord to change her clothes? Why did she suddenly lose her patience, there must be some tricks in it."

"Stop talking nonsense, Sister Chang and I are sisters, how can you talk about her like this here, let's go." Even though Lin Qingyu said this, Lingqiao's words still had a thorn in his heart.

"Yes, my lord." Lingqiao's face suddenly fell down like a bitter gourd.

Lin Qingyu sighed, and walked towards Fu Jingxuan.

On the palace road, Concubine Min's sedan chair and Lin Qingyu came forward, Lin Qingyu immediately stopped to salute and said: "My concubine pays my respects to Concubine Min, and my concubine Min is blessed and safe."

The sedan chair stopped, and Concubine Min glanced at the person, seeing that the person was weak and seemed to have something on her mind, she sneered and said, "Hey, isn't this Lin Changzai? Last night he looked domineering, why is this frowning person suffering? angry?"

Lin Qingyu replied: "The concubine is not angry with anyone, she just stayed in Huachen Palace last night to serve the emperor, and she hasn't rested well yet."

Concubine Min smiled when she heard the words, "Did Lin Changzai not take a rest? That's how it is." Then the smile turned to anger, and she reprimanded: "But why does this palace look at Lin Changzai's still spirited spirit, and his arrogance is too much? , actually rushing to show off to Ben Gong."

Lin Qingyu was a little dazed, "Concubine Min, please calm down, the concubine doesn't mean to show off, it's just..."

Concubine Min was like thunder, and said angrily: "Presumptuous! You still dare to quibble now, Si Ning, go over and give me a slap in the face!"

"Ms. Concubine Min...!" Lin Qingyu was about to say something, when a violent explosion burst from her ears, and the severe pain disrupted all her thoughts.

Before she could react, the other cheek was also slapped, her teeth touched the soft flesh, and the corner of her mouth immediately overflowed with blood.

The fishy sweetness filled the mouth, leaving small scars, Lin Qingyu felt his head swell, and couldn't think of any way to get out of this predicament.

Ling Qiao hurriedly knelt down towards Concubine Min: "Miss Concubine Min, our young master didn't intend to offend you, please beg Concubine Min to show you your hand, please spare our young master this time! I beg you, servant girl!"

Mo'er stood in front of Lin Qingyu, took a few slaps for him, and shouted in pain: "Miss Concubine Min, don't hit me! Please spare our young master, don't hit me...!"

Concubine Min looked at the two of them coldly, and threatened: "If you two sluts dare to protect Lin Changzai and intercede with her, I will double the punishment on her, and then I will send you two sluts to Yeting again. Waiting on Lin Changzai! Weigh it yourself."

The two knew that Concubine Min could do what she said, so they could only retreat to Lin Qingyu's side and weep secretly, unable to bear to watch any more.

Lin Qingyu closed her eyes, silently waiting for the punishment.

Crack, crack.Then came a few more slaps. The sharp pain she felt at first turned into a burning sting, and half of her face was swollen.

Although Si Ning is an eunuch, his strength is still stronger than that of an ordinary court lady, no one can bear the slaps of more than a dozen in succession.

Concubine Min saw that the slap was relieved, so she reluctantly stopped Si Ning from continuing to slap her, and said coldly: "I have to kneel here for four hours, if I dare to be so reckless next time, I will not It’s so easy to spare you, let’s do it for ourselves, Lin Changzai.”

Lin Qingyu felt her cheeks swelled, and countless needles pricked the innermost part, the pain was unbearable, and two lines of tears meandered down, she couldn't feel the slightest sensation.

Mo'er supported the trembling man, sobbing, "My lord, how are you doing, my lord! Are you alright, my lord!"

She opened her mouth with difficulty, and spat out weak words: "Forget it... you two go back to the palace first, Concubine Min is the only one who punishes me."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he jumped up with severe pain in his cheeks, causing a few tears.

Mo'er shook her head violently, "My lord, the slaves won't leave. Our master and servant are united, how can we let the lord suffer here!"

"The maidservants are not leaving either." Lingqiao was also resolute.

Lin Qingyu didn't say anything else, and a few lines of tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes again.
