Sick King and Concubine

Chapter 100 The Innocent Concubine Li (3)
Doubts arose in her heart, maybe the matter of the moon was just a temporary error, and it was just a coincidence that the Seventh Prince sent her here, because this girl is simply too perfect, so perfect that every minute and every inch arouses people's desire to protect .

Jiang Li sat down and greeted everyone one by one. Jiang Li asked the eighth concubine, "Why didn't the second concubine and the seventh concubine come?"

The eighth imperial concubine glanced at the people around her, before she lowered her voice and said, "I don't know what kind of poison was poisoned in her hand last time, and it didn't help after using all the medicines, but now, in order to save her life, she can only cripple her hand." , not to mention now, I will not be able to go out in the future. The Seventh Concubine has been feeling unwell recently, so she is resting at home."

Jiang Li nodded, did not speak, but turned to Caiyun and said, "Caiyun, bring me the gift I prepared for Concubine Li."

Caiyun walked over holding a small box.

Jiang Li took it and opened it. It is taboo to send food and clothes into the palace, let alone Concubine Li who is being favored in front of her. She chose a small Jade Guanyin and used the best The beautiful Lantian Liangyu, the sunlight coming in from the Linghua window, is radiant and colorful, and the water color is fluttering.

The Eighth Imperial Concubine touched it with her hand, and said with a smile: "People often say that the jade in Lantian is warm, but it is quite comfortable to touch in this winter. I heard that if the jade in Lantian is in summer, it will give off smoke. It's a pity. I can't watch it now."

"Really?" Concubine Li took it curiously, held it up and looked at it carefully, like a child.

The Eighth Imperial Concubine laughed and said: "It's just a legend, and we have never stayed in Lantian. When the Emperor makes his southern tour, Concubine Li can follow the Emperor to have a look with his own eyes."

"Oh." Concubine Li responded, blinking her eyes, then put away Jade Guanyin, and the maid next to her immediately put it away.

Jiang Li looked at her finger, and saw that there was a slight scar on it, and she said in a fluttering voice: "I don't know about jade, but our class likes to use a kind of fish eye beads, which seem to be It’s not as bright as this one, but I think it’s about the same.”

The Eighth Imperial Concubine looked at the embarrassment of the people around her, and said with a smile: "Miss Li Fei, you think it's almost the same. They are all beads, are they bad in the palace?"

Jiang Li suddenly interjected: "Oh, Concubine Li, I forgot to tell you, just now I met a court lady who committed crimes and bullied Princess Yuelun, so she was dealt with according to the palace rules."

Concubine Li said "Mmm", as if she didn't understand, she just looked at Jiang Li's wrist and said, "The beads on your hand are so beautiful."

Jiang Li smiled slightly, then faded away, and said: "If Empress Li likes it, then I will give it to you."

Concubine Li took it over, and the Eighth Imperial Concubine smiled and said, "Ninth Sister, this string of tourmalines is really precious."

Jiang Li smiled.

A group of people accompanied them and talked some more, and they didn't leave until noon. Jiang Li walked out of the palace gate, looked up at the double towers of the palace, and a weed swayed slightly, as if with a hint of desolation.

Jiang Li got into the carriage, and suddenly opened the curtain again and asked Mingyue, "Mingyue, do you feel strange looking at the maid cleaning outside?"

Mingyue nodded and said: "Wangfei thinks it's good, those servants are all first-class masters."

Jiang Li nodded and stopped talking.

Was the first-class expert in the palace arranged by Emperor Cheng Yuan or someone else?Concubine Li looks like a child who doesn't know much about the world today, probably what the former empress had, otherwise how could she be said to be exactly the same as the former empress?There were scars on her hands, and those scars looked like they were caused by practicing pipa all the year round. If this girl is really ignorant of the world, that's fine. If it's fake, then this kind of concealment is really admirable.

But no matter what, it was sent by the Seventh Prince, so this matter cannot be simple.

The carriage was circling and walking on Chang'an Avenue, and the voices of people squeezed in from outside the curtain. After passing through the busy city, the voices of the people disappeared a lot. At the place where she and Chu Yu put up the lantern, her mind suddenly flashed, thinking of the little poem Chu Yu wrote on the lotus lantern that day, her heart suddenly flashed, and her heart felt depressed.

This feeling has not subsided yet, the carriage stopped suddenly, Jiang Li turned her head, only to find a luxurious carriage with silver bells on the corners in front of her carriage.

Mingyue's voice came: "Princess, Second Concubine wants to see you."

Second imperial concubine?
Jiang Li opened the curtain, saw the second imperial concubine in the opposite carriage, and said, "I don't know what the second imperial concubine wants from me?"

Her eyes flicked over her hand. It stands to reason that her hand must be amputated to save her life, but now, this hand is completely on the wrist, and it doesn't mean to be abandoned at all.

The second imperial concubine smiled and said: "I heard that my ninth sister went to Lifei Palace today. I was waiting here early in the morning. I want to invite my ninth sister to have a meal. It is in the Yingyue Building next to me. Please ask my ninth sister to show me a meal." a face."

It's not appropriate to condescend like this and show courteousness for nothing, but now that she has placed her status in such a low position, she may not be able to shirk it. She thought about it and said: "Thank you very much." Second sister-in-law."

The carriage approached the shore, and the servants in the building rushed to welcome them up, and the second imperial concubine actually took over the whole floor today, even Jiang Li felt a little "flattered".

The two sat in the middle room, and there was no room facing the window, so they couldn't see the scenery outside or the river reflecting the moon downstairs.

Mingyue and Caiyun stood beside, and a little girl stood behind the second imperial concubine.

After a while, the table was full of dishes, such as emerald shiitake mushrooms, crystal elbow, pearl soup...

The girl next to him brought chrysanthemum tea to rinse his mouth, Jiang Li took it, glanced at the second imperial concubine, and said, "I don't know why the second imperial concubine asked me to come here?"

The second imperial concubine moved her hand, and the girl behind her immediately backed away.

Seeing Jiang Li, he also told Mingyue and Caiyun to leave.

When there were only the two of them left in the room, the second imperial concubine suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiang Li's wrist with her left hand, crying, "Ninth sister, save me!"

Jiang Li pushed her hand away lightly, and said, "What's wrong with Second Sister-in-law?"

The second imperial concubine begged: "I know that my younger sister Jiumei has excellent medical skills, so I ask my younger sister Jiu to help me."

Jiang Li said: "Sister-in-law Erhuang, what are you talking about? What I know is just superficial skills, what is clever or not. If Sister-in-law Erhuang is not feeling well, she should go to the doctor of the Imperial Hospital to be serious. .”

The second imperial concubine said: "Those doctors in the imperial hospital are useless! Ninth sister, don't be modest. Last time, the moon wheel and the eldest princess were all you, weren't you?"

Jiang Li's eyes did not fluctuate, she looked at her linglingly, and said indifferently: "Princess Yuelun hit by mistake that time, and there was nothing I could do about that time with Eldest Princess, and finally Eldest Princess went. Two The emperor's sister-in-law is really breaking my heart."
