first princess

Chapter 45
"Yes!" Xiao Anzi hugged the eleventh prince and bowed to Concubine Xiang and Concubine Yu, then walked out. When she passed by Concubine Yu, Concubine Yu gave Xiao Anzi a suspicious look. Concubine Yu's expression was a little flustered, which seemed abnormal, but after thinking about it, it would be difficult for anyone's master to bump into the room of an infected patient by mistake, so Concubine Yu was relieved again.

Seeing that Concubine Yu was not suspicious, Concubine Xiang withdrew the peripheral vision that fell on Concubine Yu's face, and turned to look at Su Xin: "Oh, Master didn't know how to stop me when he climbed into the patient's bed. What about someone pampering you?"

Su Xin plopped down on the ground and begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "Ma'am, please forgive me! This servant wants to pull His Highness Eleven, but His Highness does not allow this servant to approach, so this servant dare not go forward..."

Zhi Fan gave Su Xin a disdainful look, she lied without batting an eyelid, she's really thick-skinned!

"Don't dare to step forward? Your Eleventh Highness is not your serious master, so you dare not dissuade him." Concubine Xiang paused, smiled coldly, and looked at Concubine Yu, "Sister, put such a court lady by your side , if your child is born and she is so negligent, who are you going to cry to?"

"Xiao Dezi, take her down so she can be disciplined." Concubine Yu wiped her lips with a handkerchief, and gave orders to Xiao Dezi slowly, but her heart was itching with hatred. There were not many confidants, and now there is one less.

"Yes!" Xiao Dezi stepped forward and pushed Su Xin down.

Zhi Fan greeted the two concubines, and stood aside respectfully, not daring to show his air.

Concubine Xiang sat down on the couch, Concubine Yu hesitated at the door for a while, then walked in, clutching her stomach, but sat a little far away from the bed.

Concubine Xiang nodded to Zhang Yuanpan, Zhang Yuanpan walked to the bedside, put on a handkerchief and took Shui Linglong's pulse, after a long time, Zhang Yuanpan said solemnly: "Miss Shui's pulse is very strange, it seems cold but not cold, It seems to be hot but not hot, there is no obvious symptom, but it is disordered, it is really... Strange."

Concubine Xiang pressed her temples, her voice became colder: "Then according to the opinion of the imperial physician, does it belong to the epidemic?"

"Probably not, but it's difficult for me to make a conclusion on what the specific disease is." Zhang Yuan judge told the truth, his eyes swept away from the broken medicine bowl on the ground and the remaining juice, this is the smell of tranquilizing medicine , it stands to reason that an unconscious patient does not need to take such drugs. Although it is harmless, it is too unnecessary, and it will delay the time for the patient to wake up.

Concubine Yu followed Zhang Yuanping's line of sight and found a lot of medicinal juice, her heart trembled slightly, thinking of the panic that Su Xin was full of just now, did Shui Linglong not drink this medicine at all?This is such a hassle!She stood up, resisted the repulsion in her heart and sat down beside Shui Linglong's bed, and held Shui Linglong's hand covered with red rashes, God knows, the hairs all over her body were about to stand on end.It wasn't that she was worried that Shui Linglong's disease would be contagious to her, but that Shui Linglong would suddenly open her eyes and "bite" her in front of Xiangfei!
Dr. Zhang lowered his eyes, and finally decided to let his doubts about this bowl of medicine sink into his stomach: "Weichen changed some prescriptions for heat removal and detoxification, and see if it can improve? Her symptoms may be caused by exposure to bad things." Allergies, or perhaps a great shock."

Concubine Yu breathed a sigh of relief, Shui Linglong didn't wake up, and her illness was fine, Concubine Xiang had nothing to say now, she said softly: "Thank you Zhang Yuan for the sentence, please Zhang Yuan for the prescription, I will order someone to come Take the medicine and boil it, I really hope that Linglong will get better soon, and I can feel at ease as an aunt."

Zhang Yuan sentenced Fushenzi: "The empress has a kind heart!"

Xiangfei snorted coldly, pretending to be hypocritical!
Zhang Yuanjue walked aside, picked up a pen and paper and opened a prescription.

Concubine Xiang turned to look at Zhi Fan, and said blankly: "What did Miss Shui do the night before she got sick?"

A cold light flashed in Concubine Yu's eyes, but she smiled and said, "Sister Xiangfei, since Zhang Yuanjuan has finished reading, you should hurry up and report to the empress!" , will never deliberately investigate anything, it must be Xiangfei who is trying to pry something from Shui Linglong for her own benefit!
Concubine Xiang smiled seldom: "I've come all the time, and it's not easy to report to the empress if I don't clarify the matter." Without giving Concubine Yu a chance to intervene, she looked at Zhi Fan again and said sharply: "Say it quickly! "

Zhi Fan tremblingly said: "The night before the eldest miss got sick, she didn't do anything. After dinner, she went for a walk with Empress Yufei and the two younger sisters. The slaves went back to the room first. Half an hour later, the eldest miss also returned to the room. He looked a little tired, so he washed up and fell asleep without saying a word."

"Walking...for an hour?" Xiangfei asked again: "Where are the other two ladies from the Shui family? Call them over."

Concubine Yu shook her plain hand, her voice became a bit colder: "Concubine Xiang! This is my Palace of Guanju, why are you openly interrogating my niece and daughter?"

"It's not an interrogation, it's an investigation!"

"Investigate? Then, please show the empress's edict to let me know that the empress has allowed you to investigate my niece without permission!"

Concubine Xiang's black eyebrows frowned, she didn't know how to continue, the queen really only asked her to take Zhang Yuan to diagnose the disease, and express her concern for Shui Linglong by the way, as for how Shui Linglong got sick, whether it was serious or not , is not in the category of empress empress concern.It's just that she and Concubine Yu are mortal enemies who are always looking for trouble, not to mention Concubine Yu's performance is a bit suspicious, how can she let go of such an opportunity?But what Concubine Yu said is reasonable, without the Queen's order, she has no right to go beyond Concubine Yu to interrogate the daughter of the Shui family.She cast an annoyed glance at the unconscious Shui Linglong, the red rash on her face made her unable to see her face clearly, and the smell of medicine in the room completely obscured her breath. After shouting a few words, she couldn't help reaching out her hand to touch Shui Linglong's face.

Concubine Yu stopped her hand with sharp eyes: "My niece needs to rest, now, sister Xiangfei please avoid it! Xiao Dezi, see off the guests!"

"Yes!" Xiao Dezi blessed Concubine Xiang, and said with a smile, "Miss Xiangfei, please!"

Concubine Xiang stood up gracefully and left with a flick of her sleeves.Unexpectedly, before stepping out of the door, the little eunuch heard the voice: "The third princess is here——"

Concubine Xiang's slender eyelashes trembled, she withdrew her feet, and sat down on the chair again. If you look closely, you will find that there is a hint of a smile in her eyes.

Concubine Yu finally let go of her heart and hung up again. The third princess is the queen's daughter. Could it be that the queen decided to thoroughly investigate the cause and effect of Shui Linglong's illness?

The servants in the room huffed and knelt on the ground, and with the third princess was Zhuge Xi, the queen's niece and daughter-in-law.The three princesses and Zhuge Xi met by chance at the gate of Guanju Palace, and after asking the reason, they walked in hand in hand.

"Greetings to the third princess!" The servants saluted respectfully.

The three princesses waved their hands: "Get flat!"

"Miss Xiangfei, Empress Yufei." Zhuge Xi greeted politely, Concubine Yu was slightly taken aback, and even Zhuge Xi came!
"The two empresses are here." The third princess greeted in a neutral manner.

There was a faint smile on Xiangfei's ice cube face: "The third princess and Mrs. Yao are here to visit Miss Shui?"

"Yeah." The third princess nodded with a smile, showing a trace of aloofness that belonged only to the first princess. In her opinion, no matter how important Concubine Xiang is to her mother, she is still a concubine, the imperial father's concubine. She doesn't like it!

Concubine Yu hurriedly smiled and said: "Thank you for remembering the third princess, I thanked the third princess on behalf of Linglong."

The third princess didn't bother to talk to her, and just asked Xiang Zhang: "Tell me about Miss Shui's condition!"

Zhang Yuanpan wrote the prescription, handed it to Mrs. Xin, and then bowed to the third princess with fists in his hands, "Responding to the third princess, I preliminarily think that Miss Shui is allergic to something, or has been frightened to a certain extent."

The willow eyebrows of the third princess frowned: "Frightened? Her?"

Zhuge Xi walked to the bed, took out a handkerchief and wiped a drop of medicinal juice from the corner of Shui Linglong's mouth that hadn't dried up, and reprimanded Zhifan: "How do you take care of your master? You made her sick like this? Trust you I brought you here, and I can’t even take care of myself! If I had known you, I wouldn’t have come with you! Wearing a big hat, I’ve been able to bear you!”

These words were a bit insinuating, only to see Concubine Yu's face turned pale, and the smile froze at the corner of her lips.

Zhi Fan knelt on the ground: "Mrs. Yao, forgive me!"

Zhuge Xi snorted coldly: "If something happens to my siblings, Zhenbei Palace will definitely not let it go!"

Concubine Yu's gaze flickered, and she ordered Lady Xin, "Why don't you clean up the floor and serve tea to the masters?"

"Yes!" Lady Xin called the little maid to clean up the debris on the ground, and made tea for the masters herself.

The third princess asked Zhang Yuan again: "Will Shui Linglong's illness be cured well?"

"This...if it's really an allergy...in fact, the symptoms of allergies can be big or small." Zhang Yuan judge thought for a while, and said, "I will do my best."

Zhuge Xi was furious: "What do you mean by doing your best? Could it be that she has an incurable disease? Even your court judge can't guarantee to save her? Since you are all living, I will take her out of the palace, Ask another doctor to heal!"

The third princess walked over and sat directly by the bed, compared the two's looks in confusion, and said after concluding that she was more beautiful, "Biao sister-in-law, don't be impatient, and ask about the situation before making a decision." His eyes fell on Zhi Fan's face again, "You are Miss Shui's maid, right? What happened to her?"

Concubine Xiang was overjoyed, and took a sip of tea.

Concubine Yu broke out in a cold sweat from nervousness.

Zhifan and Zhang Taiyi repeated what they had just reported to Concubine Xiang, and Zhuge Xi frowned: "Excuse me, Madam Yufei, did Linglong experience any abnormalities when she was with you? s things?"

Concubine Yu shook her head: "We walked for a while, and I was tired and went back to rest. I don't know much about the rest, but at that time, she was still fine."

Xiao Dezi took over the conversation: "Miss Shui went to the small kitchen and said that Madam has a bad appetite, and she wants to make some food for Madam to honor Madam."

Zhuge Xi asked Zhi Fan again: "Do you know what your young lady is usually allergic to?"

"I don't know." Zhi Fan really didn't know.

The third princess frowned: "Where are the other two ladies from the Shui family? Call them over, they are sisters after all, maybe you know something."

Xiao Dezi retreated, and after a while, Shui Lingqing was invited over.

Concubine Yu asked Xiao Dezi, "Where is Fourth Miss?"

Xiao Dezi replied: "Probably went to visit the Imperial Garden again, these few days she will go to the Imperial Garden every day."

"You send someone to look for it."

Xiao Dezi ordered several capable eunuchs to find Shui Lingyue, and Zhuge Xi asked Shui Lingqing: "Do you know what she did the night before your eldest sister got sick? Exposure to bad things can easily lead to allergies." thing, or saw something and suffered a great fright?"

Shui Lingqing lowered her head, with a look of trepidation: "I don't know what Eldest Sister is allergic to, that night I smelled the smell of the kitchen and turned around, and happened to meet Eldest Sister in there, but I haven't figured out what's going on yet. Then I was called away by De Gonggong, who said that my mother rewarded me with golden sore medicine and asked me to get it."

Xiao Dezi's temple twitched, no!Shui Lingqing clearly knew what Shui Linglong was doing, and planned to please Concubine Yu with Shui Linglong!Zensheng Shui Lingqing said that she didn't understand the situation at all?Taking advantage of the opportunity of being full of tea, he leaned in to Concubine Yu and whispered a few words to Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu turned pale in shock and hurriedly coughed violently to cover up her strangeness.

Court judge Zhang wanted to check Concubine Yu's pulse, Concubine Yu waved her hand: "It's okay, my throat is just a little dry."

At this moment, the third princess's back straightened suddenly, the blood on her little face faded in an instant, and the tassels on her bun were tapped gently with the shaking of her body, making a low and hoarse sound. Asked suspiciously: "Third Princess, what's wrong with you?"

"No...it's nothing, I..." The third princess swallowed her saliva, and a layer of cold sweat broke out all over her body, "I think... since Linglong is allergic here, there must be something Linglong can't touch here. Heal, why not move her into my bedroom!"

"No!" Concubine Yu blurted out almost instinctively. Everyone couldn't help being startled, and looked at her "swish". It's not like a seasonal epidemic, but it is a disease after all, the third princess is a golden branch and a jade leaf, if I get sick, I really can't explain it to the empress!"

On this point, Concubine Xiang and Concubine Yu reached a consensus: "Concubine Yu is right, the third princess cannot take this risk."

The third princess said nervously and angrily: "My bedroom is so big! There are so many rooms to house her, so you don't have to worry about my safety! Linglong is my friend, I can't do nothing! It's settled like that! Come! Carry Shui Linglong into Chongming Palace!"

The three princesses and Zhuge Xi took Shui Linglong to Chongming Palace, Shui Lingqing also followed, Xiangfei and Zhang Yuanpan went to Weiyang Palace to report to the queen, when the people in the room were almost gone, Xiaode After listening to the eunuch's report at the door, the son said: "Your Majesty, Miss Fourth is not seen in the imperial garden, should we send someone to look for it elsewhere?"

Where is Concubine Yu in the mood to care about the water and Lingyue?She sat on the chair slumped, as if she had fallen, and her whole body shook a few times: "Don't worry about her, maybe the little girl went to play somewhere else, she is clever, even if she gets lost, she can ask back The most important thing right now is to solve the matter of Shui Linglong, in my opinion, she is probably... pretending to be sick!"

Xiao Dezi did not deny it: "The servant is also worried."

"Zhuge Xi was able to visit her in the palace in person, which was largely out of my expectation. It can be seen that the Zhenbei Palace cares about Shui Linglong very much! It is worth our risk to implement a backup plan! It is a pity that it is a step late. If the third princess comes late Even in half an hour, this palace has already solved this problem! Why did the third princess come? Didn't she and Shui Linglong just play polo at the Plum Blossom Banquet, how did they get so good?" Can't figure it out, Concubine Yu Seriously can't figure out why the three princesses are so vague, Shui Linglong!She was so anxious... her head hurt!
"What should we do now? Ma'am?"

"Think of a way to spread the news!"

Inside the Xiangman building, Guo Yan drank the wine restlessly. With the lesson from last time, he didn't dare to drink too much this time. He only had a few sips and then began to lean on the window to look. The third princess said she was sure. Linglong's condition would come here to meet him, he waited from dusk until he jumped three poles, and he didn't even see anyone!

Bored, he turned his head to look, and was surprised to find that Zhuge Yu was leaning out half of his body from the window of the next room, scanning the street with people coming and going, as if...waiting for someone too!
Apparently, Zhuge Yu also spotted him at the same time Guo Yan was looking at Zhuge Yu. Zhuge Yu looked sideways at him, and his red lips curled up in a plausible arc: "What a coincidence!" Thinking of the last time in Guo Mansion, Guo Yan chased Looking at Shui Linglong, who was so anxious that tears were about to come out, he felt that Guo Yan had ulterior motives for Shui Linglong.But how could he allow others to touch his woman?
Zhuge Yu threw a glass full of wine, and Guo Yan caught it with a backhand, without spilling a drop of wine: "Want to compete with me for wine?"

"Don't dare?" Zhuge Yu asked provocatively.

"Who said you wouldn't dare?" Guo Yan raised his eyebrows, this action was exactly the same as Shui Linglong's slack look, Zhuge Yu frowned, furious, "Be careful, I'll drink you to death!"

"Big words! Whoever drinks to death will not know!" After saying that, Guo Yan hung the window lattice with one hand, spun along the wall to Zhuge Yu's window, and then jumped into the room lightly.

The two sat face to face at the small round table, staring at each other with absolute disdain.

Guo Yan is hostile to all men who have plans for Shui Linglong!
Zhuge Yu, teach every man who grabs Linglong with him a lesson!

Eyes facing each other, swords, swords, shadows, and flames blazed in the air, like dark clouds from the sky sweeping in, and waves from the sea hitting the shore in bursts. In the quiet world, there was suddenly the noise of thousands of horses galloping, like two armies. Confrontation, it is about to fight to the death!
