Chapter 242
"The empress dowager's health and prosperity are the blessings of the emperor and the prince, and even more so, the blessings of all my subjects in the Great Jin Dynasty! Xi'er should go and thank Miracle Doctor Lin."

In the Palace of Mercy Ning, Concubine Jingnan sat across from the Empress Dowager with a face full of surprise, with emotion in her voice.

"This genius doctor Lin has superb medical skills. Ai's family used to suffer from chest tightness and discomfort when the weather was cold. After his treatment, he has never committed the same crime again this year. He should really be rewarded!"

The empress dowager's black hair had long since turned snow-white, but her wrinkled face became a little excited because of talking about Lin Tianqi, her cheeks were flushed, and she was in great spirits.

Princess Jingnan saw this, and was about to boast a few more words, when suddenly a little maid rushed in from outside the door.

"The Empress Dowager is not well. Princess Nanxiang has quarreled with the wife of the Marquis of Dingguo."

"What did you say? Why is the wife of Dingguohou's mansion in the palace?"

The Empress Dowager was feeling curious, when she suddenly saw the anxious expression on Princess Jingnan's face, she asked with some doubts, "Could it be that you know this Mrs. Dingguohou?"

Hearing the Queen Mother's voice, Zhu Qian nodded quickly: "Queen Mother, that Marquis of Dingguo is Huo Xun, the powerful general under the former prince's command. Since Xi'er knows about it, naturally she can't stand by and watch."

A look of clarity flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes, but she still frowned: "Concubine Yang's family is powerful, and the emperor also likes that girl Lingyi quite a lot. Just use my name to go, but don't interfere too much. .”

"Xie'er thanked the queen mother for her advice!"

Zhu Qian was overjoyed and worried about Xiao Ruan in her heart. She didn't care about other things, and after bidding farewell to the Queen Mother, she went to look for Zhao Lingyi.

"Call! Call me!"

As soon as she reached the gate of Zhao Lingyi's Palace, Zhu Qian heard the chaos in the room, which was also mixed with Zhao Lingyi's angry voice.

Heart skipping a beat, Zhu Qian hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked in, not daring to delay any longer.

"stop!"

Just now Zhu Qian heard Zhao Lingyi's angry voice, and she instinctively thought that she was assigning someone to beat Xiao Ruan severely. With the child in her belly, Zhu Qian's heart jumped to her throat.

When she entered the room and saw the situation inside, her heart slowly relaxed.

The room was indeed in chaos, but contrary to what she thought, Xiao Ruan was firmly guarded by Li Yun and was not harmed at all, but Zhao Lingyi's maids and guards were lying on the ground and moaning in pain.

At this time, Zhao Lingyi was angrily directing another group of people to rush towards Li Yun and Xiao Ruan, when he suddenly saw a person flashing in from the door, he was stunned.

As soon as Xiao Ying saw Zhu Qian, a dim light flashed in her eyes, she immediately got up and leaned into Zhao Lingyi's ear, and said in a low voice, "Princess, don't forget, this Princess Jingnan is Xiao Ruan's helper."

Hearing this, Zhao Lingyi's face suddenly became very ugly.

Princess Jingnan was able to appear at this time, obviously because she got some news.But she thought that no one in the palace dared to disobey his order and secretly reported to the outside, how did this person know that she was teaching Xiao Ruan a lesson?
The gloomy eyes lingered on the faces of Xiao Ruan and Princess Jingnan for a long time, Xiao Ying suddenly rushed to the guards attacking Li Yan and waved her hands to make them stop temporarily.

"Lingyi, what happened to you? Madam Dingguohou is still pregnant, how can you ask someone to do this to her? If something happens to her, how will you explain it to your father..."

"It's just a slut, why should I explain to my father! On the contrary, Wangfei, you suddenly broke into my palace, don't you worry that I will ask my father to disqualify you from entering the palace?"

Zhao Lingyi glanced sideways at Princess Jingnan, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes: "Also, this woman Xiao Ruan let her maid hurt so many people in my palace, the princess asked me to let her go It might be too easy to say!"

Zhao Lingyi had some respect for Princess Jingnan in the past, but today this man rushed directly in front of her, not only admonishing her, but also helping Xiao Ruan to speak, clearly trying to suppress her on purpose.

In front of so many people in the room, Zhao Lingyi has already forgotten how she quarreled with Xiao Ruan, but at this moment she clearly knows that this is in her own palace, and anyone who disagrees with her to the left is hers. enemy.

Concubine Jingnan hurriedly came to Xiao Ruan, examined her carefully, and saw that she had not suffered any harm, so she was a little relieved.

But hearing Zhao Lingyi's reluctance, he even counted himself in, and it's not easy to use his own identity to suppress him, so he could only ninja the anger in his heart.

"Princess, I think there must be some misunderstanding between you, why don't you all sit down and resolve the misunderstanding, even the Queen Mother doesn't want to..."

"Enough! You only threatened me with the emperor, but you dare to threaten me with the queen mother!"

Before Zhu Qian's voice fell, Zhao Lingyi stopped again, and then angrily gestured to the guards behind Xiao Ruan, and those people rushed towards Xiao Ruan again.

Princess Jingnan never thought that Zhao Lingyi would be so arrogant and unreasonable, and if she wanted to make the other party stop, she would not listen to her.

"Stop it all! If anyone dares to hurt Xiao Ruan, this king will definitely let him die without a place to bury him!"

Seeing that the situation in the room fell into chaos again, Princess Jingnan was about to send someone to notify the emperor, when suddenly a cold and angry shout came from behind.

The sound was like a heavy snowfall in winter, instantly freezing everyone in the room.

Zhao Lingyi and Xiao Ying turned their heads together, but saw the man strode up to Xiao Ruan, kicked the guard who had already thrown himself in front of Xiao Ruan, and led her out.

No one thought that Zhao Yan would appear at this time, and not only did he not look at Xiao Ying after he came in, but he would go directly to rescue Xiao Ruan.

Zhao Lingyi glanced at Xiao Ying beside him in surprise, and finally realized that this person was not for Xiao Ying at all.

There was a strange look in his eyes, Zhao Lingyi stopped Zhao Yan: "Brother Huang, what do you mean? How could you take this woman away from me at will?"

Before Zhao Yan could reply, Xiao Ying came up to him with her stomach straight, and asked with grievance: "My lord, this is the residence of Princess Nanxiang, you are not here to help Princess Nanxiang, let alone to visit Yinger, are you Are Ying'er and the child in her belly inferior to Sister Ruan?"

Different from the indifference of Xiao Ying who was hiding behind Zhao Lingyi just now, Xiao Ying moved closer to Zhao Yan, glanced resentfully at Xiao Ruan who was behind him, and quickly lowered her eyes, showing a look like she was about to cry.

Because of Xiao Ying's words, everyone turned their eyes to Zhao Yan, staring at him holding Xiao Ruan's hand with different expressions.

Princess Jingnan heard that Xiao Ying's words were easily misunderstood, so she quickly stood up to defend Zhao Yan.

"The words of the crown prince and side concubine are wrong. Even His Royal Highness Huai Wang thinks that you and the princess have behaved too much towards Mrs. Ding Guohou today. If you don't let him take Ruan'er away, you won't let her go..."

"You don't need to say too much, princess, let's leave quickly."

Zhao Yan's cold gaze stayed on Xiao Ruan's face for a long time, then he suddenly turned his head and said something to Princess Jingnan, then pulled Xiao Ruan away.

"My lord!"

The man passed her by, Xiao Ying couldn't help but chased after her for a few steps, but the man didn't look back, as if he didn't hear her voice.

The room was in a mess.Xiao Ying supported the table, and slowly fell down on the table, suddenly feeling a dull pain in her stomach.

"Hey! You know that I am here to help you out, but..."

Today's incident was so tortuous that in the end, Zhao Lingyi's anger towards Xiao Ruan turned into sympathy towards Xiao Ying.

However, after she only said one sentence, she saw beads of sweat oozing from Xiao Ying's face, her pale lips covering her stomach: "Princess, help me find a doctor..."

"Why are you here?"

There was no sound around, Xiao Ruan and Zhao Yan walked slowly to a corridor at the entrance of the palace, Zhao Yan in front suddenly stopped and turned his head.

Xiao Ruan never thought that it was Zhao Yan who saved her today, her heart was a little complicated, and she suddenly stopped when she heard the other party's voice.

"Isn't this obvious? I offended the prince's side concubine, so she asked Princess Nanxiang to send me into the palace."

At this time Xiao Ruan had already figured out the purpose of Zhao Lingyi calling her into the palace today, and hearing Zhao Yan's rather innocent voice, a touch of annoyance rose in her heart for an instant, and she immediately spoke ironically.

She didn't believe that Zhao Yan would not know that Xiao Ying was hostile to her, let alone that the other party didn't know how she entered the palace.

Glancing at the lowered and frowning expression of the man across the way, Xiao Ruan unconsciously showed a hint of sarcasm: "It seems that I have to thank His Highness Duke Huai well today, if it wasn't for your side concubine, I would have really seen it today." I can't get enough of your demeanor!"

"you……"

Different from Xiao Ruan's ridicule, Zhao Yan knew that he couldn't argue, so he simply stopped explaining: "Since you want to see this king's demeanor all the time, wouldn't it be enough to just marry him?"

"You are shameless!"

Facing Zhao Yan's straight eyes, Xiao Ruan immediately remembered what this person said yesterday in the Reversi Club.

With a twitch in her heart, she even thought that everything that happened today was deliberately done by the person in front of her, just to force her to agree to yesterday's conditions.

A deep disgust flashed in his eyes, Xiao Ruan was about to take Li Yun away when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Ruan'er, why are you here!"

Huo Xun stayed at the emperor's place for a while, and was about to leave when he reached the gate of the palace when he saw Xiao Ruan and Zhao Yan standing together from a distance.

Walking forward a few steps, Huo Xun's mother glanced back and forth between the two of them, and saw Li Yunhu standing in front of Xiao Ruan again, a dark color flashed in her eyes.

"let's go!"

As if he didn't see Zhao Yan, Huo Xun directly took Xiao Ruan's hand and protected him to leave, leaving Zhao Yan standing alone in the corridor behind him.

The cold wind rolled up the hem of this person's clothes, and he stared at the crowd that was drifting away in front of him.Zhao Yan was silent for a long time, the corner of his mouth suddenly raised an arc, and he also walked away.
