Donggong Zhangjiao

Faced with Lan Liangyuan's sudden expression of her feelings, Xu Lingyi was caught off guard.

He pursed his lips and then said slightly stiffly, "Sister, what are you talking about? My sister and I are in love with each other, so I naturally trust her."

"Yingyi, you can't hide your thoughts from me because of our relationship for many years." Lan Liangyuan said softly, a look of hurt gradually appeared on her face, "Ever since you got close to the Queen, I have felt that you are not treating me well. So trusting me, after thinking about it, it’s probably because of something the Queen said to you.”

"I"

"Don't explain yet, just listen to me."

Lan Liangyuan held her hand, interrupted her, and then said softly.

"I hid some things from you before because I knew you had a pure heart and didn't want you to be contaminated by the filth in this palace. I am a thoughtful person. You called me sister again. I thought, I am the only one who is dirty. It's good to protect the two of you. At least if something happens, it won't affect you. For example, in the draft, Qiu E is not a good person, so I wanted to make her lose the draft, but I didn't expect that she would take advantage of her. The first time I am also afraid of doing this kind of thing, but think about it, if I really want to stand out, I should attack you. Among the new concubines who have entered the palace, only your family background can be equal to mine."

Hearing her take the initiative to analyze these, Xu Lingyi was surprised and felt a little shaken.

Lan Liangyuan continued without stopping.

"I taught you to pretend to be sick to fight for favor before. I didn't mean to harm you. I was really confused at that time. That method is commonly used by girls. Your father's back house is quiet, unlike me. There are three aunts in the family who are the most favored. Aunt Li often used that method to win favors, and it worked every time. My father was very satisfied with it. So when you asked me about it, I suddenly thought of this method, but I really didn't expect that Concubine Zhao would bring the imperial doctor with her. I’ll go see you with the emperor.”

Speaking of this, Lan Liangyuan's face showed regret and self-blame for doing something wrong.

After saying this, he sighed and retracted his hand.

"It was my fault that time, but luckily the Queen arrived in time and saved the day. I wanted to explain to you, but you seemed to be alienated from me since then. I thought, instead of wasting my words, Why don't I think of ways to help you win favor, and then find the right opportunity to talk about it, but you became defensive towards me, and I found that no matter what I said, you avoided it. I tried to say more and more mistakes, so I had no choice but to say nothing. , just stay with you silently."

By now, Lan Liangyuan's eyes were already red, she lowered her head and quickly raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes.

Xu Lingyi was not completely wary of her yet, and vaguely wanted to give this sisterly relationship a chance, so when she saw Lan Liangyuan speaking so sincerely and crying, she immediately felt unbearable.

He pursed his lips before asking, "Sister, why do you want to tell me this again today?"

"Because you are pregnant. In this Qinhe Garden, no matter you are a concubine or a concubine, they will not be happy to see you pregnant. If you are still wary of me, how can I help you and protect you with all my strength? You are pregnant." I can't stand any twists and turns. If I don't speak clearly to you at this time and eliminate the gap between you and me, if something happens, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Lan Liangyuan spoke earnestly and thoughtfully, her brows and eyes full of concern for Xu Lingyi.

At this time, Xu Lingyi finally showed emotion on his face and took the initiative to hold her hand.

"Sister, I was confused. I didn't expect that my sister would treat me so sincerely. I am really ashamed of my sister."

"Don't say that. I never blamed you."

Lan Liangyuan curled her lips, showed a comforting smile, and then said seriously.

"The Empress thinks that I am deep-minded and not as simple and straightforward as you, which is easy for her to control, so I keep telling you those words and want you to distance yourself from me. But sister, think about it, your Xu family's current situation may be able to restore it. When the late Emperor was still alive, the two prime ministers were jointly governing the court. Under such circumstances, would the Queen really be happy to see you give birth to a prince?"

Naturally, Xu Lingyi thought this through thoroughly, and immediately his face tightened.

"But, the Queen said that she and I are one now"

When the words came to his lips, Xu Lingyi thought of something and paused before continuing.

"Mother Feng was sent by the Queen to take care of me. If something happens to me, the Queen will be the first to be involved. Will she act like this?"

"Look, it's because everyone thinks like you that the Queen behaves better."

Lan Liangyuan said in a deep voice.

When Xu Lingyi heard this, he immediately froze and subconsciously raised his hand to protect his lower abdomen.     “Then what should I do?”

"Of course, now we can't be sure that the queen will definitely be unfavorable to you. It's just that we have to be careful. After all, we can't be careless during pregnancy. Don't think too much about it. Just be careful in everything." Lan Liangyuan comforted her softly.

So far, too many words have been said, and there is no concrete evidence. On the contrary, it seems like throwing dirty water.

As long as Xu Lingyi is alienated from the Queen, she will naturally no longer fully trust the people sent by the Queen.

Just like if you are worried that someone is a thief, then naturally the more you look at her, the more she looks like a thief. The prejudice in your mind can very much affect people.

Sure enough, after Lan Liangyuan left, Nanny Feng was about to come in to serve her, but Xu Lingyi sent her away.

"Mammy is the queen's wife, so why do I have so many bosses? Besides, Hongdou and Xiaozhi are used to serving me, but now I'm not used to being served by others. Mammy will rest for now. What don't you understand about Xiaozhi and Hongdou?" Yes, I will ask mama for advice. Wait until tomorrow, and mama will be here to serve you."

"Then I'll take my leave first, this slave." Aunt Feng obeyed.

But after she left, she quietly contacted the outside world.

Xu Lingyi was staring at them, and when she noticed Nanny Feng's behavior, she immediately became vigilant.

Could it be that Aunt Feng was really an informant sent by the Queen to keep an eye on her?

If the seeds of doubt are planted in your heart, they will naturally sprout day and night.

Of course, others don't care about these things.

For example, after Fang Yun made up his mind to avoid Xu Lingyi, he would resolutely implement the strategy to the end.

Either he would stay in Qijin Garden and not come out. If he wanted to come out, he would have to send people to clear the place first to ensure that there would be no chance encounters or anything like that.

But it was relatively easy for her to avoid him, because Pei Yao was now rooted in Qijin Garden.

After going to the Qinzheng Palace to see the ministers every morning, he would come back to review the papers. It would take at least half a day to finish the work, and he could rest after lunch, and at most it would be completed in the afternoon.

Fang Yun naturally had to accompany him, not to mention helping him grind the ink, but at least following him as a little pendant.

Fortunately, when I came, I also had a learning attitude and brought a lot of books with me, otherwise I would have been bored to death.

It’s not like, the emperor works and she entertains, and the emperor works and she sleeps.

That's so inconsiderate.

Although Fang Yun did not do this, he was restrained at least.

Since he had to accompany him, Xu Lingyi was naturally out of reach of him.

However, Wanbi was not so lucky. The sixth princess learned to walk, but she could not stay in the house.

Originally, children saw everything new and wanted to go out and explore. Now that they have changed to a new environment, their curiosity is overflowing.

Why don't you take her with you? She was howling indiscriminately in the room. When people heard from outside, they should say that Wanbi, the adoptive mother, was not good to the child.

In desperation, Wanbi had to carefully take the Sixth Princess out for some fresh air.

Naturally, they also avoided Xu Lingyi, but finally one day, the two groups of people met at the lake.
