Peerless little medical concubine

Chapter 228 The Empress Dowager Arrives
"Princess, the concubine is coming, the queen is outside the gate!" The little girl who notified her hurriedly ran in and said loudly.

"The Empress Dowager? Come on, meet the Empress Dowager outside the door." Ning Erlan frowned, and raised her breath to let everyone go outside to greet the Empress Dowager.

When everyone was outside the gate of the palace, the queen mother had already stepped down from the sedan chair.

"See the queen mother, the queen mother is blessed and safe." A group of people rushed to the door and bowed profusely.

When the queen mother left the palace, people on both sides of the road were driven to other places early on, so there was no passerby in front of the palace except the people who came out of the palace.

The Empress Dowager was wearing a palace gown embroidered with a fire phoenix with gold thread, and a light blue cloak. Her peaceful face showed an invisible majesty.

The queen mother's eyes swept over everyone, and then said lightly: "Get up."

"Thank you, Empress."

Ning Erlan walked in the front with a suitable smile on her face. "Hurry up and go in, Queen Mother, it's cool outside in autumn."

The Queen Mother glanced at her indifferently, and responded lightly.When he saw Lin Yanyan walking over, a slight smile appeared on his face. "Come here, Yanyan, help Ai's family go in."

Lin Yanyan glanced at Ning Erlan apologetically, smiled lightly and stepped forward to help the Empress Dowager's hand, and a group of people walked in.

Ning Erlan walked behind them, looking at the figure of the Queen Mother, her brows were unconsciously frowned.What is the Empress Dowager doing in Ling Palace at this time?
Although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, and followed him in with lowered eyebrows and restrained eyes.

Lin Yanyan took the queen mother to the reception hall of the palace.

"Empress Dowager, the prince is not feeling well right now, and I don't know that you are here. Please don't blame the prince for his lack of courtesy." Lin Yanyan brought a cup of hot tea to the queen mother, and said with a slightly coquettish tone.

The Empress Dowager took the tea from Lin Yanyan's hand with a gentle smile and said, "You are really thinking of him in every way, Ling Xiao is really lucky to marry a concubine like you."

The two just chatted and laughed with "no one in their eyes", completely ignoring Ning Erlan who was still standing aside.She didn't care, the queen mother just wanted to show her love and importance for Lin Yanyan.It's just that she has been hanging about Aunt Zhang's matter in her heart, and she is afraid that something will happen if she leaves.

"Princess, princess..."

Some drifting thoughts were gradually brought back by Lin Yanyan's voice, Ning Erlan calmed down before raising her head and asking, "What orders does the Queen Mother have?"

"Princess, the queen mother said that she came here today to visit the prince, but the concubine is afraid that the queen mother will get sick, so she wants to persuade the queen mother not to go." Lin Yanyan looked at the angry queen mother, and then Looking at Ning Erlan who seemed to be unaware of the situation, he said.

Ning Erlan knew that her birth just now had offended the Empress Dowager, so she lowered her eyes and said, "What Concubine Lin said is that the Empress Dowager is a daughter of a thousand gold. The prince will be very happy to know that the Queen Mother can come here. The prince has concubines and concubine Lin. Take care, the queen mother can rest assured."

The Queen Mother hummed softly. "Look at what you look like. You can be lost in front of Aijia. Can Aijia expect you to take care of Ling Xiao's child?"

"Queen Mother, I beg the Queen Mother to be the master of my aunt... I beg the Queen Mother to be the master of my aunt..." When the Queen Mother was about to continue to make trouble, there were noisy voices outside the door.

When Ning Erlan heard this, she thought it was not good.Before she could make a sound to stop her, the Empress Dowager asked in displeasure, "What's the matter? The maids in the palace are so noisy and have no rules at all!"

"The empress dowager forgives the sin, and the concubine will let her be kicked out." Ning Erlan knew that the empress dowager wanted to take the opportunity to say that she was not strict with her rule, and now was not the time to worry about these things, she wanted to quickly bring the noisy maids outside go down.

"Hey, it's pitiful to want to get Ganoderma lucidum. I've been with Aunt Zhang for many years, so it's no wonder I don't feel sad." Lin Yanyan looked helplessly and regretfully, and sighed softly after looking outside the door.

Talking unintentionally, but listening intentionally.When the queen mother heard her words, she had something to say. "what happened?"

"Uh, no, it's nothing, it's nothing..." Lin Yanyan realized that she had slipped up, and quickly shook her head in denial.But her appearance of not having 300 taels of silver here aroused the Queen Mother's suspicion even more.

"Tell me, what's going on here?" The queen mother said coldly, pointing at Ning Erlan with a frowning face.

Ning Erlan knew that she had to tell the truth, otherwise she would be accused of deceiving the Queen Mother in the end, even if Wei Lingxiao wanted to protect her in the future, it would not be so easy.This queen mother is thinking of a way to use herself!

Since that matter has already happened, it will be known sooner or later, so it is better to spread it out while the Queen Mother is here, and she wants to see how long the hands of the people behind it are.

"The concubine dare not lie to the queen mother, she is a concubine of the prince, Aunt Zhang is dead." Ning Erlan replied truthfully.

"How could this happen? How could this person disappear when he was fine?" The queen mother frowned even deeper, although she had seen many dirty things between wives and concubines, and being able to do it herself did not mean that she would let others do the same. Do more.

Lin Yanyan glanced at Ning Erlan and said: "Queen Mother, it's actually like this..." She succinctly described what happened in the past two days, and deliberately focused on the two things of the evil spirit and the prince's injury .

It seemed that there was no connection at all, but when she said it like this, it seemed that the occurrence of the two things was necessarily related.

The more the Queen Mother heard this, the more she frowned. The ancients were very superstitious, and they would often believe in ghosts and ghosts.It is often better to believe what you have than to believe what you have not.

"Bastard!" After Lin Yanyan finished speaking, the queen mother slapped the table heavily with her palm in anger.His face was stained with anger. "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing just now? Do you think you can hide it like this?"

"Queen Mother, this incident happened suddenly, Yanyan and Wangfei only knew about it, and you came here not too late, it was God who asked the Queen Mother to solve this matter for the prince and princess later." Lin Yanyan He stepped forward and walked along the chest for the Queen Mother.Only then did the Empress Dowager calm down a little.

"You are a princess, look, so many things happened not long after you passed the door! When Yanyan was here before, it was fine!"

"Queen, maybe this incident was just an accident, not some evil spirit..."

"They all had their fingers cut off, didn't they? You young people just don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and mess around with everything. Quickly, pass on the order of the Ai family, but bring Master Daoming to the Ai family. The Ai family wants to see who dares to come here." My grandson's family has done such a lowly thing!"

The cause of Aunt Zhang's death is unknown, plus she broke off a finger like a ghost rumor, which almost made everyone believe that she was taken away by a ghost after being bewitched by an evil spirit.
Ning Erlan's temples twitched, she was a little speechless, but she was the queen mother, if she stopped her, everything would be her fault, so she just watched coldly, what are these people trying to do.

"Queen Mother, the cause of Aunt Zhang's death is yet to be discussed. Why don't you ask an assistant to find out why..." At least let her know how this person died so that she can find a breakthrough, otherwise she will be like a headless fly Don't know the direction.

"What kind of work do you want to do, you who are bewitched by evil? Do you still think that the Ling Palace is not shameful enough?" Before Ning Erlan finished speaking, the Queen Mother interrupted her sharply.It looked like she was thinking about Prince Ling's mansion, but she didn't know that she was the culprit who made the scandal of Prince Ling's mansion known to everyone.

"No one has ever seen such a ghostly thing. The Queen Mother, the concubine thinks it is better to ask the assistant to do it." She decided to insist on this point. Now she can't do it herself, so she can only use the assistant to see if she can find Aunt Zhang. cause of death.

"Since the Ai family knows about this matter, they will not ignore it. The Ai family will take care of this matter for that child Ling Xiao. If the Ai family knows that there are people in the palace who have those unclean thoughts, the Ai family will never Be gentle!" The Queen Mother didn't listen to Ning Erlan's words at all, and the two of them talked like chickens and ducks.

The legend in Daqin is that a person who is bewitched by an evil spirit will be taken away by a ghost, but how did this lonely soul be recruited?That is, someone buried Gu, engraved the life and birthday of the person he wanted to kill on the wooden figurine, and then cast a spell to bury the Gu.

Ning Erlan knew that she couldn't talk about the Queen Mother, so she simply didn't say any more, and now she could only wait and see what happened.Let's hope things don't turn out as she imagined.

Before Master Daoming came, the Empress Dowager ordered all the people in the palace to wait outside the courtyard.

Wei Lingxiao knew about it before the Queen Mother arrived at Lingwang's Mansion, and he frowned when he heard about the battle there. "Chao, go and see what's going on."

"My lord, Aunt Zhang is dead, and she is missing a finger. The mother happened to encounter this matter later, and now I'm afraid I need to investigate thoroughly." Chao walked into the room and replied truthfully.

"When is it her turn to intervene in the king's family affairs?" Wei Lingxiao's black eyes reflected a cold light, and he was about to get out of bed.

Chao took two steps forward to support him. "My lord, your wound hasn't healed yet, it's easy to walk around..."

"It's just a broken bone, I'm not that weak!" Wei Lingxiao interrupted him displeased.

"My lord, your body has suffered too much in the past two days. The princess will take care of things there." Wei Lingxiao must have been ambushed in the forest that day, not just as simple as being bitten by a tiger. When he was brought back, it was obvious that he had suffered serious internal injuries.This internal injury must have been caused by someone with high martial arts skills.

Wei Lingxiao seemed to think of something, and didn't move any more, but leaned against the edge of the bed. "Go and watch, if there is any situation, come back and report to the king immediately."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

Wei Lingxiao looked at Chao Li's back, his eyes dimmed.
