One Child and Two Treasures: The Divine Doctor's Daughter

Chapter 496 The Broken Nine Links
It was Jiang Jinyue's first visit to the place where Li Zongyu lived.

When I was Baishu before, I went to the palace where Li Zongyu lived when I was a child, which was similar to the cold palace. Before the age of ten, Li Zongyu was left to fend for himself by the old emperor, and he never enjoyed pampering. After he was ten years old, he was on the battlefield by chance , Instant generous brilliance, invincible, without a single defeat.

Later, he was feared by the old emperor, and after the war was over, he was recalled to the capital, trapped in this magnificent palace, and concentrated the artillery fire of his brothers.

Jiang Jinyue raised her head and looked at the three large characters flying like dragons and phoenixes on the palace, her heart froze.

"Wu De Hall".

Only the idiot princes outside the palace would really regard Li Zongyu as the most powerful opponent in the competition for the throne. The old emperor showed his favor to the outside world, but the name of the palace clearly reminded Li Zongyu all the time that he could only He is a general, so don't think about the general.

The palace was full of everything, and the eunuchs and maids were all arranged by the old emperor, so after Li Zongyu married her, he sealed off the mansion separately, except for the dark guards.

Jiang Jinyue moved to see Nanny Kong's thoughts, but when she thought that she was Princess Zong, she didn't even understand the reason of her own situation, and seeing someone rashly would arouse the suspicion of the old emperor.

Bai Zili was hungry, and Jiang Jinyue passed on the lunch, so he ate some casually in Wude Hall.

Before the meal was finished, a little court lady hurried in and kowtowed to Jiang Jinyue.

"The queen concubine."

The maid raised her head, her face was very beautiful.

Jiang Jinyue was taken aback for a moment, she had seen this court lady before.

The palace maid knelt down and lowered her hands, and said unhurriedly: "Concubine Qing is here, please come out to greet her."

Concubine Qing is Chu Qingqing. Chu Qingqing is not smart, but she also understands that the woman who entered the harem depends entirely on the old emperor's favor. Like, less than two months after entering the palace, she has already been promoted to the concubine position.

Of course, Li Zongyu probably contributed to this. The maid who sent the message just now was the person Li Zongyu arranged by Chu Qingqing's side.

Now the relationship between the palace and Chu Qingqing is mutual use and binding. Even if it was not Chu Qingqing's intention, she has already offended Queen Hui's group. Chu Qingqing can only hold on to Li Zongyu's influence and dare not act rashly.

Jiang Jinyue got up quickly, stood at the door to greet her, and waited for Chu Qingqing.

After three months, seeing Chu Qingqing again, this girl is completely different.

Originally, when they met for the first time in the palace, Chu Qingqing was only wearing a simple crimson dress, with a not-so-expensive white jade hairpin on her hair, and when she talked with people, she was timid and desolate, but now she was completely out of touch. changed.

I saw that on the head, swaying left and right until it fell to the shoulders, the pink rose-scented tight-fitting short jacket with dropped shoulders, the same color smoke gauze scattered flower skirt under it, and the gold silk soft smoke around the waist was loosely draped, so in the cold winter months, Against the backdrop of her waist, her waist is more and more graceful. Because of her young age, when she looks at others, her eyes are full of innocent interest, and when she raises her eyes and lowers her eyes, there are all kinds of amorous feelings.

"All blessings, Concubine Qing."

Jiang Jinyue saluted respectfully.

Chu Qingqing raised her eyebrows, her voice was cold.

"I just picked two wintersweets. I heard that Xiao Shier's concubine is here, so I came to have a look."

This sentence is explained to outsiders.

Jiang Jinyue hooked her lips.

This palace is full of the old emperor's people. Since Chu Qingqing is here, the old emperor naturally understands what it means. Besides, Chu Qingqing is Li Zongyu's cousin. Empress Hui's family in the palace has been dominant for a long time. Naturally, it is necessary to raise people to fight against, so Chu Qingqing is facing the Zong Palace, and the old emperor knows it well.

For a person like the old emperor, there are reasons why he favors and supports whomever he favors.

Chu Qingqing turned her face to the side, and said to a court lady serving in the palace: "Go and find a vase, I want to give a wintersweet to Concubine Zong as a gift."

With such an assignment, only the court lady Li Zongyu arranged for, Mother Xue and Bai Zili were left in the hall.

Mother Xue has been by the old lady's side for many years. She washed and poured the tea smoothly. After serving Chu Qingqing the tea, she took a few steps back and took Bai Zili to the back inner room.

The maid next to Chu Qingqing took the tea set, her eyes lowered, she was obedient.

The door was not closed. If it were to be closed at this moment, the old emperor's people might not let him in.

Chu Qingqing did indeed bring the news.

Holding the teacup, she only said a few words: "The emperor may not be able to survive the spring of next year."

Jiang Jinyue was taken aback.

Chu Qingqing continued: "The six kings are still under house arrest."

After finishing speaking, he stood up with a bang, pointed at Jiang Jinyue and said, "Your tea is too bad to drink."

After finishing speaking, in Jiang Jinyue's dazed eyes, he walked away.

The little eunuch poked his head outside the door, Chu Qingqing just spoke in an extremely low voice, they didn't hear it, and Chu Qingqing came and left too fast, the only thing she said was that she disliked the tea in Jiang Jinyue's place
Soon, someone spread the news to the old emperor's ears.

The old emperor was reviewing the memorial, and Bai Ziang was holding a small table next to him, holding the brush in his hand neatly, copying the copybook given by the old emperor stroke by stroke.

The little eunuch spoke in a very low voice, the old emperor just sneered and said slowly, "No matter what she said, it's too late."

The palace is full of his people, Jiang Jinyue can't get out, and neither can Chu Qingqing, so where can the news go?
"Grandpa, is it written like this?"

Bai Ziang smiled sweetly, and held the copied paper in front of the old emperor.

The old emperor immediately changed his expression, looked carefully, and said with a smile: "Well, Zi Ang's handwriting still needs to be refined, but you are young, so don't worry."

As he said, he hugged Bai Ziang in front of his arms, holding Bai Ziang's pen holder in his hand, and with Bai Ziang's hand, the pen went away.

"Grandpa has a few copybooks that he wrote by himself. You can practice and have fun here, and accompany Grandpa."

The old emperor smiled, patted Bai Ziang on the head, and put him back.

Bai Ziang didn't return to Wude Hall until dusk, and was sent back by eunuch Ji Li himself.

Jiang Jinyue had already been waiting at the door, Bai Ziang was holding a sapphire nine chain ring in his hand, and the little eunuch behind him was also holding a small package.

"Miss."

Eunuch Ji Li cupped his hands at Jiang Jinyue, took the package from the young eunuch behind him, and handed it to Jiang Jinyue.

Jiang Jinyue opened it and saw that it was a bag of white jade that had been broken into pieces.

"The nine chains are broken, the eldest son of the king must have been a little frightened, but the emperor said that he didn't mean to blame the eldest son of the king, please comfort me for a while."

"Thank you, Eunuch."

Jiang Jinyue bowed to the auspiciousness, thinking that the broken white jade in the package was the nine chains that the old emperor gave Bai Ziang to play with at noon.

After seeing off Eunuch Ji Li, facing the fire in the hall, Jiang Jinyue squatted down and asked Bai Ziang softly.

"Brother, are you really scared?"

"It's just a nine-link ring."

Bai Ziang's expression was dark in the shadow of the backlight.

"I deliberately threw Grandpa Huang to watch."

"Why?"

Jiang Jinyue was taken aback.

Bai Ziang fiddled with the new sapphire nine-link ring in his hand twice, and the jade objects jingled when they collided.

"To tell him that the inability to untie the Nine Chains shouldn't be the fault of one ring. If it is wrong, it should be broken together!"

"In this way, it can be regarded as untied."
