Lady Changning

Chapter 123 Xi Lingyan's Conspiracy (2)

Xi Lingyan was really caring to take care of Jiang Miaoer, but Jiang Miaoer didn't appreciate it, because Xi Lingyan almost pushed away her child before, this is her lifeblood, and mothers will rely on their children in this place on the child.

"You want to burn me to death, don't you?"

"Jiang Fangfei, this temperature is just right, even if you are pregnant, you can't drink too cold."

The maids behind her were all worthless for the third concubine, condescending to serve one concubine, but the side concubine Jiang didn't know how to be good, and made things difficult for the third concubine everywhere. If the third concubine hadn't been gentle, who would have endured it.

"Don't drink! Don't drink!"

With a push of Jiang Miaoer's hand, the whole bowl of tonic soup was sprinkled on Xi Lingyan's dress, and the maid stepped forward immediately upon seeing this.

"It's okay, hurry up and get another bowl, the doctor ordered it, remember to let it cool down."

Seeing that the third prince and concubine was not angry, the maid could only obey orders and do things. After leaving, only Xi Lingyan and Jiang Miaoer were left in the whole bedroom.

"You can drink what will be delivered later." No one likes to serve her.

Jiang Miaoer heard Xi Lingyan's tone, and looked at her who was gentle and virtuous just now in disbelief, but now she looked down upon her.

"But you put your face on me and want to serve me." Jiang Miao'er felt that she had no confidence in saying this.

"You've seen it too, it's just an act, if you're more clever, that's fine, but you like to act willfully, and no one will help you." Xi Lingyan and Jiang Miao'er have been together for some time, she knows Jiang Miao'er too well up.

"you!"

The door of the palace was pushed open, and it was the man Xi Lingyan had in mind, the third prince, who came in.

Looking at the pitiful and even embarrassed Xi Lingyan, it seemed that what the maid said outside was true.

"Follow me." The third prince pulled Xi Lingyan over.

"The third prince's concubine is fine, all this is what the concubine should suffer." She knew that she had succeeded, and she would try her best to win the third prince back no matter whether she had children or not.

"Concubine Jiang side has no shortage of maids here, why do you want a concubine to serve here?"

Jiang Miaoer suddenly understood something, but it was too late, and she could only watch the two people leave her bedroom.

Imperial Palace · East Palace
"You have been diligent in coming to my place recently."

She didn't look like she was crying like before, but now she looks a little proud.

"Concubine Jiang Fang took a nap, so I'll come out for a walk. I'm not familiar with the many people in the palace, so I can only come to visit you."

Now many people are privately praising the third prince's concubine for being virtuous and sensible, taking care of the domineering Jiang side concubine properly, and not letting the third prince worry about it at all.

"This is the crown prince's purple side concubine? She looks so beautiful, and her belly is so big now. Wasn't she conceived at the same time as Jiang side concubine? Her belly is bigger than Jiang side concubine's."

Xi Lingyan looked at Ziyu suspiciously. Although none of the people doing the work had ever given birth to a child, the size of her belly could still be seen, especially with Jiang Miaoer in contrast.

"The imperial doctor said that this baby seems to be a bit big, so the belly is bigger than ordinary people. It may have something to do with Ziyu eating wild food in Hudi since childhood."

Xi Changning wasn't worried, she had thought about these issues a long time ago, and the imperial physician did say that Ziyu's child seemed a little too big.

But Ziyu was still a little worried that others would see it, so she took her clothes to block it.

"The third concubine really likes to joke. I didn't know that she thought she was pregnant when she entered the palace." Xi Hanxue said casually.

"Sister Hanxue, you are more advanced than me, how do you talk so ignorant?"

After all, Ziyu was a flower girl before, who hasn't seen it before?As soon as the two of them sang together, she saw something was wrong and immediately returned to her usual appearance.

Xi Changning was not much better either, she was the one who got Xi Lingyan into the palace, so it can be said that her current status was given by Xi Changning.When did you talk and side with Xi Hanxue?

"Xi Fangfei really knows how to joke." Xi Lingyan also felt that it was a bit obvious, so the topic changed.

After seeing off Xi Lingyan, Ziyu followed Xi Changning back to her dorm, wondering if she was overthinking along the way.

"My second sister is unreliable. Be careful in the future."

Xi Changning sat down and said calmly.

"But you didn't bring your second sister into the palace? The prince said that you still took the life-saving talisman to beg the prince."

That's right, that second sister has changed back then, but people change, so who's to blame.

"You don't go out these few days, I think there must be some purpose between her and Xi Hanxue."

Ziyu nodded, but was a little worried about Xi Changning.

After Ziyu left, He Lianbao came up to him.

"You know what I found out recently?"

He Lianbao originally wanted to make a fool of himself, but Xi Changning didn't seem to accept this at all.

"Didn't I see Lord Si Qing when I checked Concubine Zhao last time. So this time I checked Lord Si Qing specifically."

It seems that He Lianbao really found something.

"What happened to Master Si Qing?"

"She goes out of the palace every month, just to go to the pharmacy, and then she will go to the isolated island you mentioned regularly."

"Island?"

Could it be that Gu Hongyi was sent back to the isolated island by the Queen?
"When will Master Si Qing go to the isolated island?"

"Usually around midnight."

In order to find out about this matter, Xi Changning had to come to investigate with He Lianbao in the middle of the night, while Mingyu stayed in the bedroom and waited.

"I really don't like it here, it's dark."

He Lianbao, who was hiding in the bushes, complained.

Xi Changning gave her a blank look, and he didn't know if he could see her expression in the dark night.

"coming."

Si Qing came alone, walked to the side of the small river, stretched out his hand to touch the water, but couldn't see what he was touching.In the end, I didn't know what I touched, and it was a small boat on the opposite side of the river.It seems that what I touched before should be the rope hidden under the water.

Seeing Si Qing reach the other side of the river, Xi Changning and the others came out.

"We don't have a boat."

"Hey, are you afraid of losing the boat if I'm here? I went to the warehouse to borrow it today, and I secretly dragged it here this afternoon."

Helian Bao, who was like offering a treasure, opened the weed-covered boat. It was really a boat, and the two of them were a bit crowded.It should be those who work in the palace to handle the boats on the lake.No wonder Helian Bao was able to move.

When the two reached the opposite side, the small hall hidden among the trees was flickering with lights, but there was no sound at all.

He Lianbao pointed to the front and signaled Xi Changning to follow her. Xi Changning was not as strong as her, and he was almost out of breath after falling behind.

When approaching the room, some noises and voices could be heard inside.

"Your sister asked me to bring you medicine."

"Who are you? Why do I feel familiar, but I can't remember who you are?" Gu Hongyi put her head in her hands, but the more she thought about it, the more she didn't know who the person in front of her was.

"I'm Si Qing, don't even think about it if you don't remember."

Si Qing also felt that Gu Hongyi was pitiful, and the hand that was about to deliver the medicine was taken away, and the medicine was not edible.

"Si Qing, I really feel that I can remember something, but I can't seem to remember anything."

He Lianbao outside the house was confused, who is living in this house?To let Master Si Qing take such care of her, she glanced at Xi Changning, but Xi Changning still listened attentively to the conversation inside.

It wasn't until Master Si Qing left that they breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they parked the boat at another place before, and they were not afraid of letting Master Si Qing see it.

He Lianbao followed Xi Changning into the house, really confused Xi Changning seemed to be quite familiar with this place.

"who are you?"

"You don't know me anymore?"

Gu Hongyi looked at them and shook his head.

"Did Si Qing drop something?"

Xi Changning ignored it, seeing the medicine left by Si Qing before leaving on the table, she stepped forward to check.

"This is the medicine my sister gave me." Gu Hongyi was here for a long time. No one came. Suddenly two interesting people came, and she was not afraid.

"You can't take this medicine."

After Xi Changning read the prescription, although she had some doubts, it hadn't been confirmed yet, so she didn't speak.

"Who is Changning?" He Lianbao was extremely curious about this woman who covered her face.

"Changning? You are...Xi Changning."

Gu Hongyi spat out three words, as if there was indeed such a person in his memory.

"Listen, I'm Xi Changning. Before that, you couldn't even take the medicine Si Qing sent you, you know?"

Both Gu Hongyi and He Lianbao looked at Xi Changning suspiciously, as if there was something wrong with her saying such words.

"Bao'er, go and see if there is any tea."

He Lianbao knew that Xi Changning was going to whisper to others again.

"Emperor... has your sister visited you?"

Gu Hongyi shook her head. That person hasn't been here for a long time. I don't know if he's busy recently. Even if she had been here before, she would take a quick look and tell her to drink the medicine.

Xi Changning insinuated something about the queen, but Gu Hongyi was sometimes normal and sometimes crazy before, so he couldn't ask anything at all.In the end, Gu Hongyi turned against the guest and asked Xi Changning a lot of outside things.

Xi Changning asked her why she didn't go out by herself, she still answered a few years ago, she promised the queen not to go out, and she didn't want others to see her crazy.

When he was about to leave, Xi Changning still couldn't help asking one more question.

"Do you remember Zimian? Huangfu Zimian?"

Gu Hongyi's hands visibly shook because of the name. She tried very hard to recall everything, and always felt that something so familiar was on her lips, but she just couldn't pronounce the name.In the end, she still couldn't think of anything and shook her head.

Xi Changning didn't have any hope in the first place, so such an answer is nothing unusual.

The two people sitting in the boat were silent, and He Lianbao, who couldn't help it at last, couldn't help asking.

"Who is this woman? Why are you covering your face?" It seems that there should be no red marks like hers on her face.

"The second prince's mother."

"So it's... ah! Concubine Hui! Isn't she dead?" He Lianbao looked at Xi Changning in horror. What she saw just now was not a ghost.

Xi Changning was still thinking about the origin of the package of medicine in his hand, and did not answer He Lianbao.
