The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 225 The time has come
Liuying watched Qin Wan take Ning Yi's arm back to the Chonghua Palace, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

Qin Wan asked Ning Yi to take off his coat and lie on the bed, then took out bandages and needles and thread to help him re-treat the wound, fearing that he would be hurt, he quietly took out the anesthetic given by Ji Yan, applied it on his arm coldly, and then Exhale gently to dry the medicine, then take out a clean needle and thread to help him re-sew, and finally wrap it with gauze.

After all this was done, Qin Wan looked up at Ning Yi, only to find that he was already soundly asleep.

"Is this guy just asleep?"

Qin Wan was a little annoyed, but there was nothing she could do. She could only help Ning Yi pull up the quilt and cover it up. Then she took off her coat, carefully rolled over his body, and slowly lay on the inside of the bed, then turned over again. Staring at his sleeping face.Looking at it, she slowly lowered her eyelashes and fell asleep.

Seeing that Ning also didn't come out of the room, Liuying immediately felt better and went to sleep with a smile on her face.

Li Yu didn't understand, so she squatted at the door and watched the night peacefully, wondering if His Majesty would stay in the inner hall of Chonghua Hall forever, if that was the case, it seemed that her work would increase again.

……

When Qin Wan woke up the next day, Ning Yi had already gone to court.

She slept so deeply that she didn't even know when Ning Yi got up.

After Qin Wan dressed and washed, she went to the map to have a look, then casually put on an outer shirt, asked Carp to tie her hair into a simple bun, and prepared to go to the garden with a small bamboo basket and small cakes feed the deer.

But not long after walking out of the Chonghua Palace, a delicately dressed girl walked up the palace road, glanced sideways at Qin Wan, and asked her, "Hey, do you know how to get to the Chonghua Palace?" ?”

Qin Wan was a little surprised. Seeing that she was coming from the Twelve Offices of the West Palace, she probably guessed that she was one of Ning Yi's candidate concubines, so she politely said, "Turn left ahead and you will see the Chonghua Hall, but this will The masters in the house are not here."

"Madam Qin isn't there?" The girl's face suddenly became a little ugly, "Hmph, the Liuying Shang Palace asked us to come to the Chonghua Palace every morning to say hello to that Madam Qin, and I'm all here, but she's not here , is really hateful."

When Qin Wan heard this, she wondered what Liuying was doing.

At this time, two more formally dressed women came on the palace road.

One of the girls, who looked a little heroic, saw them and immediately greeted the girl beside Qin Wan: "Sister Fuling is so early, she didn't wait for me and Yue'er."

Qin Wan carefully recalled what Liu Ying said before, it seems that this heroic girl should be Sun Ning, the daughter of General Sun Zhao of the Rong Kingdom, and the one she calls "Sister Fuling" is probably Zhi Su Nei Chen Fuling, the daughter of Shi Chen Yiheng, and Du Yueer, the daughter of Du Liang, the inspector of Yuzhou, looked shy and shy next to him.

Chen Fuling glanced at Du Yue'er disdainfully, turned to Sun Ning and said, "Yesterday I heard that Princess Yaoxing from Dongyi even brought someone to assassinate His Majesty. Today, I still want to take advantage of the opportunity to go to Chonghua Hall to pay my respects, and meet him by chance." Your Majesty, but the lady-in-waiting said just now that neither Your Majesty nor Madam Qin are in the Chonghua Palace, so it looks like our trip was in vain."

Sun Ning didn't take it seriously: "Why don't we wait for a while at the gate of Chonghua Palace, anyway, they are all here, maybe that Mrs. Qin will come back soon."

"Wait? I can't wait for such a sunny day. She, Mrs. Qin, is just a woman who sleeps with His Majesty. Her father has no official position now, and His Majesty has not included her as a concubine to be selected. Now let I really did her a favor when I went to visit her. When the time comes, His Majesty will make me a concubine, and I have to let her come to pay my respects every day."

Sun Ning waved her hand: "Fu Ling, keep your voice down, don't let the people in the palace hear you."

"So what if you hear it? My father is Zhisu Neishi, an official to Jiuqing. Are you afraid that Mrs. Qin's people will hear it? Even if I hear it, she can't do anything to me." Chen Fuling lifted his chin and swept Glancing at Qin Wan, he said with disdain.

Qin Wan sighed in her heart, what is Liu Ying doing, Gong Dou is not her good drama, why do she have to ask these girls to pay her respects every day, isn't it killing her.

If they are capable enough, they can just climb on Ning Yi's bed. There is no need to pretend to be inferior in front of her, Qin Wan, and they really don't need to take her seriously. Who has the ability to climb on top of her? .

Of course, if Ning Yi had a crush on the three of them, then Qin Wan would feel that she was blind.

At this time, Sun Ning said: "But I heard that Mrs. Qin is deeply loved by His Majesty, so don't really offend her. Then she will say something unpleasant in His Majesty's ear. If His Majesty believes it, don't you?" Nice."

Chen Fuling felt that what Sun Ning said made sense: "Forget it, since you have said so, I should also calm down and bear with her for a while, let's go, let's go to Chonghua Palace and wait."

After saying that, Chen Fuling and Sun Ning walked towards the Chonghua Palace, totally unaware that Du Yue'er didn't move, but stood quietly beside Qin Wan, with her head lowered, maintaining a meek appearance.

Qin Wan looked at Du Yue'er with curiosity in her eyes, wondering why she didn't follow them.

After Du Yueer saw that Chen Fuling and Sun Ning had disappeared from the palace road, she respectfully bowed to Qin Wan as a woman from Rong State: "Du Yueer, the daughter of Du Liang, the inspector of Yuzhou, has seen Mrs. Qin." , Mrs. Qin Jin An."

Qin Wan was a little surprised, but had to look at this thin and small girl with admiration: "Smart, good eyesight, and scheming, really good."

Du Yue'er humbly said: "Mrs. Qin's praise."

"Since you recognize me, let's go and feed the deer with me." Saying this, Qin Wan took Du Yue'er to the imperial garden.

The deer in the garden saw Qin Wan coming with small corn cakes, and came to eat happily. The deer had not been seen for more than half a year, and it was an adult. The antlers were as beautiful as branches, but they were still lively and clingy.

While feeding the deer, Qin Wan asked Du Yueer: "Tell me, what do you think about entering the palace as a concubine?"

Du Yue'er smiled calmly: "Returning to Madam, Yue'er dare not have any thoughts of coveting His Majesty, nor does she want to be a concubine."

"Oh? I like to hear that." Qin Wan smiled slightly, "But I heard that Ning Yi selected the three of you not only based on your family background, but also carefully assessed your talents, arts and interests. If it is true as you said that you don't want to be a concubine, then why are you working so hard to get into the top four?"

Du Yue'er said softly: "That's because if Yue'er doesn't participate in the concubine selection, her father will marry Sun Ning's elder brother Sun Bo. Yue'er doesn't want to commit herself to that kind of scum, so she wants to pass the selection process. I have the opportunity to avoid the limelight temporarily, and hope to have the opportunity to do things for the empress and find a way out for myself."

Qin Wan became interested when he heard it: "Since you want to help me with something, what would you do?"

Du Yueer took out a booklet from her sleeve and handed it to Qin Wan.

Qin Wan opened it up to take a look, and immediately became interested.

Du Yueer introduced: "This is the evidence I collected from my father in Yuzhou that Chen Yiheng, the internal history of millet management, colluded with local officials in Yuzhou to embezzle grain goods."

"Does your father know that you gave this to me?" Qin Wan asked.

Du Yueer nodded: "I know."

"As the supervisor, why didn't your father give it to His Majesty directly?" Qin Wan asked after putting away the pamphlet.

"Chen Yiheng has always been at odds with my father. My father is afraid that our family will be harmed by Chen Yiheng if this booklet is not in His Majesty's hands, so he is afraid to hand it in. And my mother also saw Chen Fuling just now. Arrogant, Chen Yiheng was the minister who took the lead in opposing your wife's claim to succession in the previous dynasty. I think the empress is not someone who can swallow this breath, so it is of great benefit to my wife and our family to bring down the Chen family both in public and in private. And I can also show my sincerity and loyalty to the empress. Not only that, madam, you are very wise, you must know that your majesty has been on the throne for more than half a year, and now you are helping your majesty to eradicate those conservative and rigid soldiers in the court. Old ministers of the country, the time has come for the court to be rejuvenated with fresh blood."

Qin Wan looked at Du Yue'er's eyes which were extremely bright even though her head was lowered, and smiled knowingly.
