Chapter 223
"Yes!" Linglong replied, and quickly helped Nalan Qing leave the cold palace.

Ruan Xinling stared blankly at the overturned food box, with a complicated expression on her face, holding the food box vigorously with both hands, as if unwilling.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Qiuyue came out, saw Ruan Xinling at a glance, then walked to her side and looked at her suspiciously.

"This food box was overturned, and the meal that the Ninth Prince gave to the imperial concubine was ruined. I dare not go back!" Ruan Xinling said in a low voice.

"Don't be afraid, as long as you tell the truth, the Ninth Prince will not blame you!" Qiuyue comforted her.

"But, what does the Ninth Imperial Concubine have for lunch?" Ruan Xinling asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, we still have something to eat, we'll deal with it and it's over, it's getting late, you should go back soon!" Qiuyue urged her.

"Okay then, I'll go first!" Ruan Xinling looked up at Qiuyue, then hurried out.

At this moment, Nalan Ying was sitting in the newly tidied up wing room, thinking about something on her mind.

"Hello? Silly girl, what are you thinking?" Suddenly a voice came, and then Mrs. Mo walked in. She was still dressed in her usual attire, wearing a white brocade robe, her hair disheveled, and she looked like a ghost.

"Aunt Mo!" Nalan Ying hurriedly stood up.

"Look at what I brought you?" Mrs. Mo held a small basket made of fresh flowers in her hand, opened the basket, and inside were several bright red fruits.

"What is this?" Nalan Ying took out one, and looked at Madam Mo puzzled.

"This is Donghua plum, which is abundant in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. At that time, when the fourth prince was traveling in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he thought the fruit was delicious. He brought it back and gave it to the fourth princess. At that time, the princess thought it was delicious, so she rewarded me. One, I was pregnant with Ah Xie, and I felt that the fruit was sour and sweet, so I begged the Fourth Prince to bring back a few saplings from there, and now those few saplings have grown into towering trees , picked a lot of plums, when Ah Xie left this morning, he picked some ripe ones, and asked me to bring them to you!" Madam Mo said kindly.

"He's the only one who still thinks about me!" A sweetness flashed across Nalan Ying's face.

"In my opinion, not only is he thinking of you, but the Ninth Prince is also thinking about you. As soon as I entered the yard, I smelled the smell of sauced duck. Could it be that the Ninth Prince's lunch arrived early? ?” Madam Mo said with a smile.

"It's so early, didn't Aunt Mo see the mess on the ground? The good lunch was overturned by that blind girl!" Qiuyue said dissatisfied.

"Who came here?" Madam Mo looked at Nalan Ying suspiciously.

"Who else is there, of course the eldest lady in our mansion, the current crown prince's side concubine Nalan Qing!" Qiuyue said mockingly.

"Nalan Qing?" Mrs. Mo lowered her head in thought.

"By the way, Aunt Mo, have you ever seen that purple jade bracelet in the palace?" Nalan Ying frowned and looked at Mrs. Mo.

"What?" Mrs. Mo's face darkened, and a coldness flashed in her eyes.

"Purple jade bracelet, have you seen it?" Nalan Ying looked suspiciously at Madam Mo's reaction.

"Where did you see the purple jade bracelet? Tell me quickly?" Mrs. Mo asked eagerly, pulling her arm.

"On Nalan Qing's wrist!" Nalan Qing hurriedly replied.

"Nalan Qing?" Madam Mo's eyes flashed, and she sneered, "This Nalan Qing was killed, and she didn't even know it!"

"Aunt Mo, what do you say?" Nalan Ying looked at Madam Mo in shock.

"The purple jade bracelet also has some origins. This bracelet originally belonged to the fourth princess!" Mrs. Mo said sadly.

"Fourth princess?" Nalan Ying's expression changed.

"Yes, it's been a long time since I said it. I remember one day, when the princess went to pay her respects to the queen, the queen said that the bracelet was precious, especially the bunch of purple jade was crystal clear, and it was most suitable for the princess's slender white jade bracelet. The princess wore it on her wrist, so she gave it to her, the concubine did not dare to disobey the queen's will, and even brought it to her wrist on the spot, who would have thought that after wearing it, she would never be able to take it off!" Aunt Mo sighed , It seems that I am immersed in the past and cannot extricate myself.

Nalan Ying's eyes were gloomy, thinking that the jade bracelet expanded with heat and contracted with cold, it must have been processed when she was wearing it, if not, why couldn't she take it off after she put it on?
"Exhausted all the methods, but did not take off the jade bracelet. In the end, the prince still said, since you can't take it off, you might as well wear it. Anyway, it looks good, so you can't just take off such a bracelet. Cut off the arm again?" Mrs. Mo said with a frown.

"It was only later that the concubine suddenly fell ill, and when she was sick, the purple jade bracelet became more colorful. The concubine always thought that the queen had lowered her head in the purple jade bracelet, so she was depressed all the time. Until one day, she fainted suddenly and never woke up again. After being hungry for a few days, the purple jade bracelet fell off as soon as she took it off. However, the prince was furious at that time, thinking that the jade bracelet was a It's an ominous thing, so I smashed the jade bracelet, which angered the emperor and the queen, and accused the prince of treason, so he was imprisoned!" Mrs. Mo said slowly .

"Then why did this purple jade bracelet fall into Nalan Qing's hands today?" Nalan Ying asked puzzled.

"It must have been given to her by the queen, or there may be other reasons. We don't know about these things. You just need to know it in your heart. It's an unknown thing, so it's better not to touch it!" Mrs. Mo told her road.

"Well, Ying'er got it!" Nalan Ying bowed her head in response, her thoughts were disturbed, and she always felt that things were not that simple.

"Don't think too much about it. It looks deserted in this cold palace, but it's actually safe and secure. It's better for you to live here than in the Zhaohua Palace. I heard today that the Nalan family They have already sent someone to talk to the Queen Mother, saying that the third lady of the Nalan family will come into the palace to be the concubine of the Ninth Prince!"

"Nalan Rou?" Nalan Ying's eyes sank, she couldn't complain that the Ninth Prince hadn't appeared since she entered the cold palace, and the Queen Mother's headache didn't happen sooner or later, but it happened in these two days. Because of the marriage of the Ninth Prince!

"What's the temperament of these three girls?" Mrs. Mo looked at Nalanying tentatively.

"Better than her mother's viciousness!" Nalan Ying suddenly thought of Nalan Rou's incomparably resentful eyes on the day of her wedding. She must have hated her so much, right?
At this time, in Zhaolong Hall, it seemed like a nightmare, the emperor suddenly woke up in a startled state, he sat up suddenly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his deep eyes looked around, with Fear and resentment.

"Fourth brother, why don't you let me go?" The emperor's cold eyes swept towards the darkness of nothingness and whispered.
