The little lady in the palace

Chapter 202
The main courtyard of Prince Yi's Mansion.

Yuyin decides to hide from Xiangying about Aqi's going out to "stand on her own" for the time being, mainly because she is afraid that Xiangying will do something after being stimulated.

Then she asked the imperial physician about Xiangying's condition, and the imperial physician said that Xiangying is like this, if it is convenient, it is better for someone to accompany her and talk to her every day.Yuyin waited for Xiangying to recover from the weakness caused by hanging herself, and ordered her to go to the house to do things.

The sky was high and the clouds were light. Xiangying held a sandalwood square dish containing two bowls of almond tea, and stood at the door for a long time without daring to go in.

Wang Dongxu, who was waiting outside the door, frowned. Seeing that she still didn't come in, he stepped forward and urged, "You still don't go in? Hang it out for a while, this almond tea will be cold!"

"...Eunuch Wang." Xiangying lowered her head and said awkwardly, "Can, can I trouble you to send it in? I'm afraid I..."

"Today is your first day on duty inside, let me help you send it in?" Wang Dongxu listened to Coke, "Go, there are many rules on the first day, you have to kowtow to the princess when you go in, let me help you What's going on?"

"But..." Xiangying was so frightened that she almost spilled the almond tea when she saw a window on the east side open from the corner of her eye.

Yu Yin looked at her by the window and smiled: "What's the matter? Come in quickly, and tell me directly if you need anything."

Now Xiangying couldn't hold back, so she could only bite the bullet and go into the house.

She put down the almond tea, went to kowtow to Yuyin to say hello according to the rules, and Yuyin asked her what's wrong again?Why didn't you come in just now?

She said anxiously: "Princess, I am afraid that I will... do something to hurt others again."

What happened that day made her terrified. Thinking about it now, she didn't understand why she had the idea of ​​suicide at that time, and why she shot and hurt the second young master.

The second son obviously treated her very well.She often thinks that her status is so low, if she stays in the mansion, she will drag the second young master down, so she will give herself a break to save him from trouble.

But that day, she actually hurt him.

"I don't know why I did that...it seems like I can't control myself." Thinking back, Xiangying felt extremely helpless, "It's just a strange force rushing through my mind, and before the slave could react, she was already caught. It has already moved its hands..."

She guessed a little about it, but the guesswork terrified her.She raised her eyes and looked at Yuyin, her voice became lower and lower: "Princess, do you think this servant is possessed by a demon... or is she crazy?"

"What are you talking about?" Yuyin could hear the powerlessness in her words.He got up and helped her, ignored her subconscious avoidance, and pulled her up, "The doctor said, you need to be treated with medicine. In other words, you are sick... If you are sick, we will treat it, don't be afraid .”

"But..." Xiangying wanted to emphasize that she might still hurt others, Yuyin shook her hand: "You have to come to my place every day, because I'm afraid that your heart will get worse."

Xiangying was stunned, and Yuyin said again: "You don't know, when I was in Hualing nunnery, there were often nuns who would hide themselves in the room to learn scriptures, and the nunnery also let them. But, if they If you haven't come out for too long, or there are other reasons that make others feel wrong, the nun will call them out to explain it. This person, the more he is bored, the easier it is to think wildly and delve into a dead end. Come to me , just tell me if you have something to say, don't think about it yourself."

Xiangying was stunned when she heard this, Yu Yin let out a sigh of relief, and asked her to call Ming Jing in for almond tea, and said that one of the three bowls was for her.Xiangying was surprised for a moment, but she refused several times, but Yuyin didn't let go.

Yuyin wanted to help Xiangying with all her heart, and there was no complicated reason, just because there is an old saying that goes well - saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda!
On the west side of the palace, Ah Li has been bored in the house for a long time since he came back from Ah Qi's place.

There is a booklet on his desk, which was given to him by Ah Qi, and it contains what Ah Qi has to do recently.

His second brother really fought for Luo Shi and Yun Shu!

He searched for three errands in one go: in the morning, he went to the east of the city to teach the son of a wealthy businessman how to ride a horse; Opened a teahouse, storytelling.

Ah Li counted his fingers and found that he couldn't rest for a few minutes at the end of the day.There is free time between the three errands, but these three places are not adjacent to each other, and the free time must be spent on the road.

Oh my god, Ah Qi is only fifteen, so he has to take on so many things?

Ah Li was worried about his younger brother, but couldn't help admiring him. He wondered if he would have the courage to do the same thing in Ah Qi's situation.

——But, of course, he can't do the matter of Ah Qi going to Bada Hutong in the first place, and there will be no such troubles at all.

Ah Li sighed while thinking, and turned his thoughts back to the troubled question just now—is this booklet for the concubine mother to read?

If he doesn't give it, the concubine mother will continue to worry that Ah Qi will not survive outside, but if he does, he feels that the concubine mother will feel distressed and short of breath after reading these.

But in fact, from his point of view, Concubine Mu was a little too worried.It's true that Ah Qi will inevitably suffer some hardships when he goes out like this, but the mansion didn't really leave him alone!
He inquired that the place where Ah Qi lived was opposite the door, and that was the person who was placed by the king. The peddler selling cooking cakes at the street corner was a guard who could make cooking cakes selected by his mother and concubine. There was a broken chest stone at the door of the teahouse Yes, it's Jin Yiwei under my cousin...

Calculated in this way, Ah Qi may not be able to pay attention to his diet and daily life, but these people will never let him die outside in an accident.

Why don't you tell the concubine all these together?

Ali thought about it.But he had to tell the concubine mother that he could not write to Aqi about this.

This is not because he is afraid that Ah Qi will be unhappy when he hears about it, but in Ah Li's opinion, since Ah Qi has caused such a big mess before, he should go out and practice, and he can't make him feel that there are people around him right now. If you can rely on it, then he will go in vain.

Ah Li made up his mind and called Lin Lan out of the courtyard together.After a while, I arrived at the east courtyard, and when I entered the door, I felt that the surroundings were so quiet that I felt uncomfortable.

Youshi was lying on the Arhat bed in the bedroom, with a cold veil covering his forehead. He heard someone greet his ears, but he didn't have the strength to open his eyes, and gave a tired "hmm".

Ah Li roughly told her about Ah Qi's current situation outside, and then put the brochure on the couch table, hesitating whether to resign directly or wait for the mother's concubine's reaction.

You Shi suppressed the annoyance in his heart, took a few breaths, and asked him: "You just tell me, is that bitch surnamed Luo still alive?"

"..." Ah Li and Lin Lan looked at each other, both of them felt a little uncomfortable because of Youshi's word, and then Lin Lan blessed, "Mother and concubine, calm down. I asked the servants of the main courtyard, and they said that Luo Shi It wasn't intentional to hurt anyone, it was just because I was sick and my mind was a little dizzy, so..."

"The main courtyard is using her to show off in front of me!" Youshi shouted angrily, and neither Ah Li nor Lin Lan dared to say anything.In the silence, she opened her eyes resentfully, "Isn't it enough that she Xie Yu has seduced the lord for more than ten years? Now even my son is going to be run out by her! She still keeps that bitch for me. nausea!"

This made all the servants around bow their heads.

The grievances between the princess and the side concubine have been forged for a long time, and it is not unusual for the side concubine to think about it.But the Eldest Prince and the Young Madam are juniors after all, and they have to respect the Princess as "Mother Concubine" in the main courtyard. It is really inappropriate for Youshi to say this in front of them.

Both Ah Li and Lin Lan could only be silent. After a while, the fierce light in Youshi's eyes turned to Lin Lan: "Go, go and make it clear to the princess that I want Luo Xiangying's life, and I can no longer let her go." Seduce Ah Qi!"

"Mother Concubine..." Lin Lan wanted to persuade, she felt that Luo Shi's life was already suffering enough.But Youshi yelled angrily: "Are you going or not!"

Lin Lan pondered for a while: "Concubine Mu, for Yun Shu's sake..."

"Even you are helping the main courtyard!" You Shi said, smashing the teacup on the couch table, Ah Li was startled, and shouted "Ah Lan!", and blocked Lin Lan behind him with a backhand stroke .

The teacup hit Ah Li's chest and fell to the ground and instantly shattered. Ah Li felt a faint pain in his chest. He looked down and saw that if the height hit Lin Lan's forehead, he became angry: "Mother Concubine!"

You Shi was still pointing at Lin Lan and scolding: "There is no distinction between good and bad! From the moment you pass through the door, I treat you well! You want to get close to the main courtyard, don't forget whose daughter-in-law you are!" !"

"Mother Concubine, why are you so angry at A-Lan!" Ah Li gritted his teeth, "I told her to visit Dimu Concubine often, she is your daughter-in-law, and she is also Dimu Concubine's daughter-in-law."

"A Li, you..." You Shi was stunned, as if she never thought that she would hear such words from her son.

"You really regard the main courtyard as your mother and concubine?" Youshi sneered with disbelief, and there was a little bit of contempt for which he couldn't explain why.

Ah Li calmed down and said, "Mother Concubine, Dimu Concubine has never treated us badly. Ah Qi's incident was caused by his ignorance, so why blame Dimu Concubine for running him out? It is clear that he caused trouble for Dimu Concubine."

"Get out!" You Shi was furious again, Ah Li's eyes sank, and he didn't bother to argue with her, he dragged Lin Lan away.

He really didn't understand why the mother and concubine had a good relationship with the main courtyard, so why did she hate her more and more.He understood that his mother and concubine would feel unhappy after not seeing their father and king for a long time, but...why does this blame the concubine's mother?
The most powerful person in the mansion is still the father, and Ah Li felt that if the mother and concubine wanted to blame and hate, she should also blame and hate the father...!
But she just pushed all the faults on the aunt and concubine, as if everything the aunt and concubine did was wrong, and everything was aimed at her.

But in fact, how could the aunt and concubine have so much spare time to target her?Lin Lan just cared about their few visits to the small courtyard, she was so tired that she had a headache and didn't want to talk anymore. The concubine was in charge of the entire palace, and she probably didn't have the time to target anyone.

Thinking of this, Ah Li felt that Concubine Mu was thinking too sideways, too cornered.He was even a little envious of the third and fourth brothers, because the concubine aunt never behaved like this. As long as he could remember, he felt that the concubine aunt had always been kind to others.

In the east courtyard, Youshi only came back to her senses after her son had left for a long time. She took a few deep breaths, but still felt her heart beating violently.

The long-lasting depression seemed to change suddenly, and turned into a strong anger, rampaging in her heart, which could not be subdued for a long time.

Xie Yuyin, she underestimated her, that's why she suppressed her for so many years.

She had kind thoughts in her heart and didn't touch her son, and then she wanted to watch her son become the eldest son, and her own son couldn't even stay in the mansion...

She suddenly didn't want to bear it anymore.She was afraid that if she endured it any longer, even Ah Li would lose her place to stay.

Xie Yuyin, Luo Xiangying...

Youshi wanted to try it out, trying to make himself feel more comfortable in the mansion for the rest of his life.
