Concubine in power

Lu Zhiqing suffered from being tormented by allergies every day, so she naturally lost the opportunity and mood to trouble Lu Zhiyao.Because the doctor specifically ordered her not to go out, lest the pollen outside would blow on her again and make her condition worse.But Lu Zhiqing couldn't figure it out, there were no flowers growing near her residence, so why not go out to get a breath?Feeling uncomfortable all over and not being able to leave the house, Lu Zhiqing could only scold that incompetent doctor every day, which also made Ye Lianrong very helpless.

"This day when there are neither humans nor ghosts, when will it be a head!" Sitting in front of the dressing table, Lu Zhiqing lost her temper again as she looked at the horrific face in the mirror.She threw all the things on the table to the ground, Lu Zhiqing stood up and looked at Ye Lianrong in the room, crying, "Mother, you can help me find a solution!"

"What's the trouble? You treat me as your mother and I'm the royal doctor in the palace, so I can treat any illness?" Compared to Lu Zhiqing's irritability, Ye Lianrong was much calmer.Sitting at the table, she frowned slightly and looked at Lu Zhiqing, and said, "You asked for it yourself, no one else can blame this."

"Imperial doctor?" When Lu Zhiqing heard Ye Lianrong mention the word "imperial doctor", an idea popped into his mind.Walking to Ye Lianrong's side with big strides, before Lu Zhiqing could say anything, she was pushed away by Ye Lianrong's disgust. "Mother, why don't you ask my father to invite the imperial doctor in the palace to show me?"

"Whimsical, who do you think you are? The imperial physicians in the palace are reserved for the emperor and the empresses in the harem. If you are allergic to hay fever, you dare to use the imperial physicians. If you speak out, you are afraid of being laughed at!" Ye Lianrong was helpless. Under such circumstances, he had no choice but to reprimand Lu Zhiqing. "Don't mention this matter again. If your father finds out, he might be angry!"

"If you don't mention it, don't mention it..." Lu Zhiqing sighed dejectedly. After being scolded by Ye Lianrong, she couldn't get angry and could only blame the maid for her discomfort.Lu Zhiqing looked at Yuechan who was standing beside Ye Lianrong, and said coldly: "What are you doing standing here? Get out!"

"Yuechan." Ye Lianrong watched Yuechan walk to the door and stopped her. "You go out of the house to help me sample something and come back."

Yuechan listened to Ye Lianrong's order and walked out of the room.But within a few steps, he ran into Lu Zhiyao who was oncoming.

"What are you doing here?" Yuechan raised her chin and asked bluntly.

"My father asked me to come. If you don't want to see it, you can talk to him." Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly, and stopped Yuechan's mouth with just one sentence.Going straight to the door, Lu Zhiyao knocked on the latch.Walking into the room, Lu Zhiyao said softly to Lu Zhiqing and Ye Lianrong's unexpected eyes: "It seems that my sister's illness is not showing signs of recovery at all."

"Are you laughing at me for coming?!" Lu Zhiqing stood up emotionally and cursed: "Get out, don't let me see you!"

"I heard that if you are in a bad mood, it will also affect your condition." Lu Zhiyao was neither angry nor angry, looked sideways at Ye Lianrong, and said, "Second Mother, my father asked me to take care of my sister."

"Your father asked you to come?" Ye Lianrong was skeptical of Lu Zhiyao's words.

"That's right." Lu Zhiyao nodded. You know, in order to come to Lu Zhiqing, she spent a lot of time talking about Lu Yuanzheng. "And I have good news for you."

"Joke, what good news can you have."

Lu Zhiqing sneered and was about to taunt Lu Zhiyao, but she heard Lu Zhiyao say clearly: "Your sister may become a princess, a future queen. I wonder if this is good news?"

"What did you say?" Ye Lianrong froze for a moment, "Make it clear!"

"The emperor wants to choose a concubine for the prince, and the seventh prince suggested that he want his sister to enter the palace." Lu Zhiyao said, carefully turned his head and looked at the direction outside the door, then took a step forward, approached Ye Lianrong and whispered: "As for Whether my sister can fulfill her wish and be elected as the crown princess depends on her and Er Niang. The time of entering the palace will be seven days later, if my sister stays like this, I think there is no hope."

How could the master let this wild girl tell them such an important matter?Ye Lianrong couldn't figure it out, although the master has been disturbed by the court affairs for the past few days and can't sleep well every night, and is very upset, he shouldn't be so confused.But if this kind of thing is not true, Lu Zhiyao must not have the guts to tell such a lie...

Lu Zhiyao glanced at Lu Zhiqing's clothes, and pulled the corners of his mouth without leaving any trace.She was still wearing the clothes she had washed, if she was always like this, even if she took medicine, so what?

"Er Niang, is there anything I can do to help?"

"Yuechan has gone out. It just so happens that you go out of the house to the Jingren Pharmacy in the city and get Qing'er's medicine back." Ye Lianrong sent Lu Zhiyao away, and after Lu Zhiyao left, Ye Lianrong turned her head and looked at him. Confused Lu Zhiqing whispered, "Crown Princess?"

"Mother, she didn't lie to us, did she?" Lu Zhiqing's mood was a bit complicated. The name of the princess is certainly good, but Lu Zhiyao just said that it was the Seventh Prince who proposed to let her enter the palace. She...

"She wouldn't dare even if she had the guts to do such a thing, but why would your father let her take care of you?"

"That's right! She can't take care of me, she doesn't want to kill me, so I'm thankful!" Lu Zhiqing curled her lips, not believing that Lu Zhiyao would have the heart to serve her.In fact, that was exactly the case. Lu Zhiyao took the initiative to ask Ying to find Lu Yuanzheng. He really had other purposes in wanting to be with their mother and daughter.

This is the first time Lu Zhiyao has left the mansion since he arrived at the prime minister's mansion.Walking on the busy street, Lu Zhiyao controlled his agitation and walked towards Jingren Pharmacy.

Lu Zhiyao walked all the way until she was blocked by a crowd of people in front of her, and she had no choice but to stop.

In the country of Xia Lai, slave trading can be seen almost everywhere.Many poor families in the countryside would want to sell their daughters to rich families to work as maids, but not every girl could be sold for a good price.So those traffickers would often pick some good-looking ones and sell them to brothels, or, in the current method, sell them on the street.As long as the bidder is high, no matter who it is, it can take people away.

Lu Zhiyao just took a casual look, wanting to see what kind of people are selling now, enough for so many people to watch.However, when she saw the woman kneeling in the middle of the crowd with a terrified expression and tears on her face, Lu Zhiyao only felt her mind buzzing, and then it went blank.

Xia Han... That's her sister Xia Han! ! !

Lu Zhiyao, who always thought that the entire Xia family had died tragically, finally couldn't control himself after seeing such a scene, rushed into the crowd frantically, knelt down beside Xia Han under everyone's surprised eyes, He hugged her tightly.

Xia Han was also taken aback by her sudden action. After seeing that she was a woman, Xia Han whimpered and wanted to beg her to save herself.

"What are you doing? If you want to buy someone, just take the money!" The trafficker reacted after being stunned.After scanning Lu Zhiyao's not-so-high-end clothes, the man cursed viciously: "Look at this poor man, get out of here quickly, don't delay our business!"

"Xiao Han, don't be afraid, my sister will take you home!" Lu Zhiyao hurriedly unfastened the foreign object on Xia Han's mouth, and then was pulled aside by the burly trafficker.

"Let me go!" Lu Zhiyao shook off the man's hand vigorously, and asked in a trembling voice, "How much? How much do you want! I'll buy it! Can't I buy it!"

"Is this a lunatic?" The man turned around jokingly and looked at his accomplice. According to common sense, it is only men who buy beautiful girls. The assistant maid dresses up, why is she joining in the fun?

"What are you going to buy her with? Sir, I offered 200 taels of silver, can you give me more?" A man in purple clothes was fanning the fan in his hand while staring at Lu Zhi with a lewd look. remote face. "Why don't you buy it for 200 taels?"

The man's words made the onlookers burst into laughter, but they couldn't stop Lu Zhiyao from wanting to save his sister. "I'll pay 300 taels!"

After speaking, Lu Zhiyao turned around and wanted to grab Xia Han's hand.

"Wait! You said 300 taels, so it's 300 taels? What about the silver? Take it out and have a look!" The trafficker stopped Lu Zhiyao, not believing that she really had that much money.

Lu Zhiyao clenched her lower lip, she really didn't have any money on her right now.But if they couldn't get the money, they would never let them take Xiaohan away, what should they do? !

Lu Zhiyao, who was somewhat desperate, developed a mentality that he wanted to use force, as long as he could take Xia Han away.Just when she clenched her fists and wanted to knock down the man in front of her, a lazy voice suddenly came from not far away.

"500 taels, I'll take it."

The man's voice attracted everyone's attention, of course, including Lu Zhiyao's.

Behind the crowd, a sedan chair was parked there, and the man who spoke was the person in the sedan chair.

"Master?" Ling Yi said in surprise, "You really want to buy her?"

"I've already said it, why don't you buy it." Lin Yinan lowered his head and played with the finger wrench in his hand, and said casually: "What are you still standing there for? It's time to go home."

Hearing what Lin Yinan said, Ling Yi had no choice but to take out 500 taels of silver notes from his pocket and walked up to the trafficker.Then he casually dragged Xia Han who was still kneeling on the ground up.He really couldn't figure it out, why did the master spend so much money to buy such a maid?So what if she is the second young lady of the Xia family?Wouldn't it be more troublesome to keep such a person by your side?
