Traveling through the harem: the favorite concubine

Chapter 22

Ruyi's heart twitched suddenly, and she clenched her hands tightly so that she would not lose her composure.

Yu Baolin smiled subtly and glanced at Ruyi with his head bowed, and said, "Sister Crown Princess, you also said that Sister Chen is the best, and His Highness likes Sister Chen so much. Now His Highness is seriously ill, why not?" Can you forget sister Chen?"

Chen Yuanxiang glanced at Yu Baolin who was fanning the flames, and then looked at Ruyi who lowered his head silently, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but he did not speak.

I only heard Yu Baolin continue to say excitedly: "Last time, His Highness was unwell, but he went to Sister Chen's room for two consecutive days, which shows how satisfied he is with Sister Chen!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his head to look at Chen Yuanxiang, and then at the other people sitting in the hall, and then proudly added: "If Your Highness can see Sister Chen, half of her illness will probably be cured!"

Yu Baolin's words became more and more exaggerated, but Chen Yuanxiang's expression remained unchanged until Yu Baolin finished speaking, she pondered for a while, looked at Ruyi, smiled, and opened her mouth as if asking: "Sister Chen, sister Yu I recommend you so much, what do you want to say?"

Ruyi stood up abruptly, walked stiffly to the center of the hall, and saluted. At this moment, many thoughts flashed through her mind, and she also thought of many reasons to shirk, but when she stood up, she saw When Chen Yuanxiang looked into her eyes without a hint of a smile, her heart trembled suddenly.

In the end, he replied with a trembling tone: "This servant is willing to take care of His Highness."

She's not Yu Baolin, she's pretending to be crazy and not afraid of the consequences here.On the contrary, she was afraid.

Since the prince stayed in her room for a few more nights, Ruyi felt the change in the princess' attitude towards her.In the past few times, she was lucky to escape, but today, she knew that no matter what reason she gave to evade, she believed that Chen Yuanxiang might take this opportunity to have an attack.

Chen Yuanxiang twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile that seemed to be satisfied: "Then sister Chen has worked hard!"

After saying this, she felt a bit of melancholy and regret in her heart. It would be great if she could take this opportunity to get rid of this unsightly existence.

All the people in the hall retreated slowly, and the people from Liu Gong walked up to Chen Yuanxiang, and asked softly with some concern: "Madam, send this Chen family to take care of His Highness, what if His Highness loves you more?" manage!"

Chen Yuanxiang frowned. Liu Gong's question happened to be what she expected the most in her heart, but she smiled again and said in a relaxed tone: "What are you afraid of? Whether Mrs. Chen can come back or not is up to you, even if she takes care of it someday." Your Highness, she's just a bastard from a palace maid background, you're afraid you won't be able to deal with her!"

Chen Yuanxiang and Liu Gongren were talking, when suddenly there was a commotion outside, and the noise gradually became louder, as if something major had happened.

Chen Yuanxiang couldn't sit still and stood up.She helped Liu Gongren go outside, but saw a bunch of people outside gathered under the cloud steps of the hall.She frowned and walked slowly over. Seeing her approaching, the crowd that had formed a circle quickly dispersed, revealing the people who were originally surrounded in the middle.

Chen Yuanxiang took a quick look, and saw Mu Liangdi and He Baolin lying on the ground, Mu Liangdi was holding her arms and screaming for pain, her face was covered with a few traces of bruises, and her hairpin and hairpin were in a mess .On the other side, He Baolin's condition seemed to be better, he just leaned on the maid with his face half covered, but when He Baolin's hand half covered his face was removed, even Chen Yuanxiang couldn't help but gasped. Half of his face was covered in blood, and a hideous wound could be vaguely seen.

"what happened?"

Chen Yuanxiang was not hesitant, and more or less guessed that this so-called accident was not a coincidence.But she still asked a routine.

However, no one answered, everyone was frightened by this tragic scene, the accident happened too suddenly.As for those who walked behind like Ruyi, they didn't see anything. When they reacted, they had already formed a circle.

In the end, Ye Liangdi, who was walking in front, replied with a little sarcasm: "I guess we have to ask the two parties about this matter, but we haven't reacted yet. We only saw Sister Mu and Sister He. They hugged each other and fell down, and Sister He was on the bottom, her poor face must have been smashed!"

After saying this, You felt that it wasn't enough, so she couldn't help but add: "The two younger sisters are going to take care of His Highness together, could it be that sisters are deeply in love with each other right now, even this fall together? .”

After all, he seemed to think it was funny to cover the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief. Others didn't have the leisure time of Ye Liangdi, and Mu Liangdi and He Baolin were even paler. They didn't know whether they were scared or hurt. It hurts.Just keep your head down and cry.

Chen Yuanxiang looked at the two people who were still pretending to be pitiful. It was hot today, and the smell of blood was strong again, which disturbed her. She frowned and scolded: "Where is the waiter? The master fell like this!" No reaction at all, what's the use of raising you!"

The few court ladies who were still beside Mu Liangdi and He Baolin were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.

Seeing this, Mu Liangdi endured the pain and begged for mercy: "My sister can't blame them, it happened so suddenly, they probably didn't react!"

After hearing what Chen Yuanxiang wanted to deal with, Mu Liangdi couldn't bear it anymore. The people who walked with her every day were her closest right-hand men, and she really couldn't bear to be dealt with.

On the other side, He Baolin covered his face and lowered his head, pleading lightly: "Sister Mu said yes, no wonder they!"

After all, there was no more words.

Chen Yuanxiang looked at the two people at the head, but couldn't tell who was instigating the matter, or whether the two people had discussed it.But she doesn't care about the truth, there are some things she has to do. She just ordered the two to take care of the prince. Before she left her palace, someone was injured. This is not just a slap in the face thing?
Mu Liangdi and He Baolin are both injured now, and they look like victims. It is not easy for her to deal with it, but it is possible to deal with the others.

Chen Yuanxiang said in a deep voice: "Sisters, don't talk about it, you two are good to the people below, and you are reluctant to punish them, but there must be a rule in things. If the master fell and they didn't help them in time, it shows that they are not dedicated enough , What's the use of keeping a servant who is not dedicated."

After all, without waiting for Mu Liangdi to intercede again, Chen Yuanxiang winked and was blocked by the kneeling maids and pulled out.

"Sister..." Mu Liangdi couldn't even care about the injury on her hand, her heart ached so much.The two maids who were dragged out grew up by serving her. Now that their Mu family is ruined, she only has these two maids to comfort them.

"Sister Mu, don't feel sorry for the two unsatisfactory slaves. My sister will make up for you later." Chen Yuanxiang stared straight at Mu Liangdi's face, only to see that Mu Liangdi suppressed her unwillingness. .

In the end, he replied calmly: "Thank you, sister!"

Only then did Chen Yuanxiang look away, and said in a calm tone: "Since you fell here, don't go back, come to my side to rest first, and I will ask you to invite the imperial physician over. Wait until you see it!"

"Yes!"

Mu Liangdi and He Baolin lowered their heads and didn't say a word.

Naturally, Chen Yuanxiang didn't have the good intentions to keep them, but just wanted the imperial doctor to come over to confirm the injuries of the two of them. After all, these two candidates to take care of the prince, but she chose the best two after repeated comparisons.

Holding Liu Gongren's hand, she walked slowly a few steps, and when she came to the side of Ruyi who had been standing on one side, she stopped, with a slight smile on her face, and asked, "Sister Chen, what do you want?" To prevent accidents, I'll send you back later. Don't leave the house casually, just clean up today, and I'll send you to Dongxiangkou tomorrow."

Ruyi bent down, saluted respectfully, and said, "Your servant knows!"

If it wasn't for Mu Liangdi's actions, she would never have thought of using self-harm to escape.Now that she thought about it, she didn't dare. Mu Liangdi and He Baolin were hurt first, it could be said to be a coincidence, but one after another coincidence, who would believe it!

Mu Liangdi and He Baolin were placed in the west hall of the Crown Princess' bedroom.

After the imperial physician came to look at it, he shook his head at Chen Yuanxiang.

Chen Yuanxiang took a deep breath, but still with a smile on his face, someone sealed the money and sent the imperial physician out. After the imperial physician left, Chen Yuanxiang's face completely darkened.

Mu Liangdi's right hand was broken and her calf was sprained; He Baolin's right leg was broken and her left face was seriously injured, probably leaving a scar.

It was extremely unlucky for this kind of thing to happen in her palace.Of course, what Chen Yuanxiang was most concerned about at this time was that the two good candidates she had chosen so many times were about to be voided.

You can't send two injured women to take care of the prince!

At this moment, she didn't want to go into the reason of this matter, and it turned out that it was already decided, and she couldn't change it no matter what.

Chen Yuanxiang returned to her bedroom and sat down on the couch, only to see Lan Zhen coming up with a cup of tea.Her eyes fell on Lan Zhen, and she let Lan Zhen put the tea beside her.

She looked at Lan Zhen gloomyly for a while, and when Lan Zhen was about to step back, she suddenly said, "Lan Zhen, don't say that my old master doesn't need you."

She sneered, and continued: "There is an important task for you now, you go to guard the door of Mrs. Chen's house, and don't let anything happen to her."

"My lady..."

Lan Zhen raised her head and looked at Chen Yuanxiang.

A smile rose on Chen Yuanxiang's face, and he pointedly said: "I thought about it, you are a person who was trained by your aunt, and you are naturally very capable, so it's really useless for you to do some work of serving tea and water all day long." You. Now this Chen family will be sent to the Crown Prince tomorrow, so something will happen, so after much deliberation, you may not be the most suitable candidate. "

"But we can't make it too obvious. We can't make people feel that we are guarding against her, so you are guarding outside the house."

Lan Zhen just listened quietly, and finally kowtowed with a wry smile, and replied, "Your servant obeys the order!"

After speaking, he bowed and retreated.

Liu Gongren happened to walk in from outside the house, and she frowned when she saw Lan Zhen's appearance, but seeing Chen Yuanxiang staring at her dimly, she didn't say anything to intercede.

On the contrary, when Chen Yuanxiang saw Liu Gongren, she couldn't help but said, "Nurse, don't worry, I just let her go to bask in the sun, nothing will happen."

"Your Majesty, it's good that you understand." Liu Gongren sighed, but brought up another topic, "Mu Liangdi and He Baolin will definitely not be able to take care of His Highness now, and your Majesty will choose two more people to replace them as soon as possible. The side is coming to pick someone up!"

Chen Yuanxiang leaned on the couch, but said in a calm tone: "Nurse, what are you worried about? There are so many women in the Crown Prince, it's not easy to pick two out!"

When Ruyi came back to the house, Qiangwei was squatting at the door and taking a nap. When she saw Ruyi coming back, she suddenly came to her senses, greeted her with a smile, and said, "Ma'am, I just took mung bean soup from the dining room and chilled it. Ma'am, I want a bowl!"

"Leave it alone, I don't have an appetite." Ruyi lay on the couch supported by Shaoyao, looked at Shaoyao who was looking at her worriedly, and said, "I'll just take a rest, you guys hurry up and take care of things." !"

Qiangwei looked at Shao Yao suspiciously upon hearing this, Shao Yao smiled wryly, but did not speak.

On the contrary, Ruyi said: "The Crown Princess has just chosen me to take care of Your Highness."

"..." Qiangwei opened her mouth wide in panic, looking at Ruyi in bewilderment.

"His Royal Highness has the epidemic."

Shao Yao had been supporting her face that hadn't cried all the time, but now she also drooped: "Madam, can we come back? Can we not go?"

Shao Yao looked at Qiang Wei blankly, tears falling down uncontrollably.

Ruyi's eyes were also red. She didn't even dare to think about this question.

She has worked so hard to live until now, and now, is she going to die?But if she doesn't go, will the Crown Princess let her go?She thought of Chen Yuanxiang looking at her with no warmth in her eyes, forced back her tears, and said, "Since the princess has chosen me, it is impossible not to go."

She glanced at Shaoyao and Qiangwei with red eyes, opened her mouth, and was about to speak, when suddenly a little eunuch's voice came from outside the room.

"Mrs. Chen, the maid Chunlan of Jiaofang Palace is looking for you!"
