The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 110
"It would be best if you handle it. I don't want to have anything to do with the Murong family."

Li Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, but when he thought of the rockery stones scattered in the back garden of Murong's house, where his favorite woman almost died, he understood Ye Zhaoqing in his heart.

"Okay, I will let you meet Yan'er less in the future." Li Yu said, staring deeply at Ye Zhaoqing, then turned and left.

Ye Zhaoqing stood in the hall, watching him leave, with a momentary blankness on his face.

But soon, she recovered.

Concubine Rong was shocked when she heard that Ye Zhaoqing had caused a 'big disaster' at Murong's house: "What? That damned girl went to climb the rockery? She fell from the top and caused the rockery to collapse? That Yan'er Is there something wrong? Why don't you bring her in to see Bengong?"

"Mother Concubine!" Li Yu shouted before interrupting Concubine Rong's chatter.

Concubine Rong was startled, and couldn't help asking: "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"

Li Yu sighed, stared at Concubine Rong thoughtfully and said, "Concubine Mother, Zhaoqing is my wife."

Concubine Rong frowned when she heard the words, she wanted to say that Yan'er was the daughter-in-law in my heart, but seeing her son's expression, she didn't want to irritate him by saying this, so she said immediately: "She How is it? Are you hurt?"

"Qing'er is fine, it happened that the master came back and saved her life." Li Yu said: "But she was greatly frightened by it."

Concubine Rong breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words: "It's fine, if you're scared or something, just take care of it." Then, she glanced at Li Yu, her expression turned serious: "Now, you can tell me why she wants to Climb that rockery? What is there that attracts her?"

"It's this." Li Yu said, reaching out from his sleeve to take out the medicinal herb that Ye Zhaoqing "stolen" after all the hard work, and handing it to Concubine Rong, he said calmly: "This is the golden thread grass. To detoxify, Qing'er climbed up the rockery just to explain it to me."

Concubine Rong was shocked when she heard the words, she glanced at Li Yu in disbelief, then lowered her head, her eyes fell on the herb, her eyes were slightly complicated: "Since she found this herb, why should she be so anxious, because Regarding our friendship with the Murong family, you only need to mention one word, and the Murong family will definitely give it to you!"

"The concubine mother probably forgot that the Murong family didn't know about the son's poisoning." Hearing this, Li Yu calmly said, "If you ask for it in person, it will definitely attract people's suspicion, and then find out about the son's poisoning. "As he spoke, he paused and said, "Concubine Mother doesn't want Yan'er to know about this, does she?"

Concubine Rong immediately nodded when she heard the words: "That's right, from this point of view, it is clear that she has endured hardships for you, and I will remember this matter."

"Thank you, Concubine Mother!" Li Yu finally had a smile on his face when he heard the words: "When Qing'er did this, she didn't do it to make Concubine Mother miss her kindness. Detoxify the son, and ask the concubine mother to treat her better in the future for the sake of her sincerity."

"What you said, it seems that this palace abused your wife before." Hearing this, Concubine Rong was very dissatisfied, and couldn't help but glared at Li Yu.

Li Yu immediately burst out laughing: "Mother Concubine has a sharp mouth and a tofu heart!"

Concubine Rong laughed amused by him, waved her hand and said: "Okay, I already know what you said, when Mrs. Dingguo enters the palace tomorrow, I will take good care of her, so you can rest assured. "

"Thank you mother and concubine!" Li Yu said, then stood up, ready to go out: "My son has something to do, so let's go first."

"Wait! Concubine Mother has something to ask you." Concubine Rong opened her mouth to stop him, and asked in a low voice, "Did the Concubine the Crown Princess have any trouble with you about your visit to Duke Ding's Mansion today?"

"What are you talking about!" Li Yu immediately raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said, "The matter of going to Murong's house was brought up by her!"

"It turned out to be like this..." Concubine Rong was shocked again when she heard the words. She really did not expect Ye Zhaoqing to be so generous. She knew that Murong Yan was her favorite candidate for the crown prince, and she brought Li Yu to the door. She had to say, She did it beautifully!
"Mother and concubine, do you have any other questions to ask? Are you leaving without a son?" Li Yu yawned involuntarily as he spoke.

Concubine Rong saw how anxious he was, she had no time to sigh at Ye Zhaoqing's actions, and then asked: "Then, did you see Yan'er?" As she spoke, she couldn't help showing a look of anticipation on her face.

It's okay if she didn't say anything, but when she said it, Li Yu suddenly remembered, and immediately apologized, and went back to the East Palace personally to bring the brocade box that Murong Yan handed over to him, handed it to Concubine Rong, and said, "Yan'er told me , her grandfather has already started seeing her future husband-in-law for her, this jewelry is really inconvenient for collection, so Tuo Erchen will bring it back for you."

Concubine Rong looked at the very familiar brocade box, her face was shocked, and she was a little nervous when she spoke: "Yan'er, she really don't want this jewelry?"

"That's right!" Li Yuman said casually: "I saw that Yan'er really didn't want it, so I brought it back for you, concubine mother."

Concubine Rong's face became even more ugly after hearing this.

Seeing her appearance, Li Yu couldn't help feeling worried: "Concubine Mother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine!" Concubine Rong gathered herself together, then slowly stretched out her hand, took the box from Li Yu's hand, and hugged it tightly.

"You step back!" Concubine Rong said.

For the first time, she drove her son away for the first time. In the past when Li Yu came here, there was always a time when Concubine Rong was reluctant to leave.

"Concubine Mu, are you serious, are you okay?" Li Yu stood there without moving, and asked again in a low voice.

"Let's go!" Concubine Rong suddenly shouted.

Li Yu was startled, turned around and strode away, looking back from time to time while walking.

Concubine Rong was sitting quietly at the table like a clay statue, looking down at the brocade box in her hand. Due to the backlight, Li Yu couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

Seeing this scene, Li Yu suddenly regretted it. If he had known this, he would not have given this brocade box to Concubine Rong...

After returning home, Ye Zhaoqing's life in the East Palace became much more peaceful. Every morning and evening, he calmed down, and after asking Concubine Rong how he was, he stayed in the bedroom to study how to detoxify Li Yu.No one disturbed me, and my life was peaceful.

The medicinal herb that she picked up after a near death had a great effect. Ye Zhaoqing made it into a medicine primer and put it in the medicine bowl for Li Yu to take every day. In addition, the medicinal bath was restored, and Li Yu had to be taken every night. The tormented "life is better than death", but gradually, the time he passed out of the coma became shorter and shorter, and the time he persisted in the bathtub became longer and longer.From the inside out, the whole person exudes a vigorous appearance.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Rong immediately understood that the deadly poison on her son's body was almost cured. The joy could hardly be described in words. Her attitude towards Ye Zhaoqing, the hero who made all this happen, had already eased up. few.

However, every night, when Concubine Rong looked at the brocade box on the dressing table, she would secretly swear in her heart that one day, she would return this box back to Murong Yan in a fair manner!
The position of crown princess must be hers!
……

While Ye Zhaoqing was rushing to detoxify, she was also secretly thinking of ways to investigate the matter of King Huai. The identity of the princess concubine gave her a good cover, allowing her to move freely in the palace and go to many places that she couldn't go to in the past. The place.

In the past few days, Ye Zhaoqing almost destroyed the library in the palace, but she didn't get any useful news, but her reputation spread, everyone said that the princess is hardworking and studious, and she wants to be the prince's good helper , even the emperor, intentionally or unintentionally, mentioned it in front of the prince.

"Yu'er, I heard that the Crown Princess likes to read a lot?" The emperor glanced at his son who seemed to be more energetic after getting married, and said with a smile.

Li Yu immediately nodded when he heard the words: "Yes, father, my son is busy with official duties every day, and she is bored when she is alone, so she simply reads to relieve boredom."

"It's a good thing to love reading, but Yu'er, I think you, a princess, are suspected of being involved in politics!" The emperor changed the subject and said with a serious expression: "What she reads in the library are all some The residence newspapers sent from the former palace to various places, and some books on human geography, she is a woman, and she doesn't think about carrying on your family, what do you always read about these things?"

"Father, I ordered her to watch it." Hearing this, Li Yu could only bite the bullet and take everything on himself: "I saw that she was free, so I asked her to try to watch it." Reading those books, if Erchen has something unexpected in his daily life, I will ask her to mention it."

"What?" The emperor's face immediately changed when he heard this: "You actually let a woman dictate the government affairs? Then how can I trust you with the peace of mind? What if there is another usurper in the palace in the future?" Poisonous woman who meddles in politics, even if I die, it will be difficult for me to explain to your imperial grandfather underground!"

"I know I was wrong!" Li Yu knelt down after hearing this, with a sincere and fearful expression on his face: "Father, this matter is wrong with my son, please calm down, my son will go back and tell Qing'er, don't let her meddle in these matters in the future!"

Looking at Li Yu's appearance, the emperor finally calmed down his anger. He waved his hand and ordered Li Yu to get up, and persuaded him earnestly in his ear: "Get up! Don't do it again in the future!"

"Thank you, father!" Li Yu said, and slowly stood up from the ground.

The emperor glanced at him, and said: "Yu'er! In the past two days, you will tell the Taifu some of the things you have in hand, so that you can spare time to spend more time with the princess, and strive for the spring of next year, so let me hug you." Grandson!"

Li Yu was very embarrassed when he heard it, but he felt infinite sadness in his heart. He didn't take his wife down at all, how could he fulfill the emperor's confession?

Ugh……

When he came out of the imperial study, Li Yu was already frowning.

His bodyguard who had been waiting outside greeted him and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, the Tai Tu lord has entered the palace today, and is now sitting in the East Palace."

"Master is here?" Li Yu shook his body when he heard that, and immediately said: "Go, go back and have a look!"

With that said, he got on the imperial chariot.

When he returned to the East Palace, Li Yu walked in and said with a smile: "Master, when did you enter the palace, why didn't you tell me?"

After he finished speaking, he saw Murong Shen standing in the hall with his head bowed. When he saw him coming in, he immediately bowed his hands and greeted him: "My minister, see the prince."

"Master, you don't need to be polite, get up!" Li Yu said, walked over and sat down beside Ye Zhaoqing, and said with a smile, "Why did you enter the palace today?"

Murong Shen came over and took a seat at the bottom, then raised his eyes to look at Li Yu, and said: "This minister is here to return the Fenji Sword to the Crown Princess."

"Oh? Return the sword?" Li Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and turned his head to glance at the coffee table, and he saw the Fen Ji sword lying there quietly.

Recalling that a month or two ago, he couldn't get the sword back from Murong Shen despite racking his brains, Li Yu was a little emotional, he couldn't help reaching out to stroke the sword, and then said: "Didn't the master not give it back?" ? Why did it suddenly come back?”

When Murong Shen heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said: "A few days ago, the Crown Princess was frightened in Wei Chen's mansion, and Wei Chen felt very sorry, so I returned this sword, hoping to soothe the pain in the Crown Princess' heart. "

"This sword originally belonged to me, but now you are giving it back as a gift, isn't that funny?" Ye Zhaoqing said with a glance at Murong Shen.

She is still brooding over the matter of Murong Shen saving her and snatching her sword.

When Murong Shen heard this, his eyes narrowed immediately.

"Does the princess think that no one will know about your secret investigation?"

Seeing the coldness and sharpness in his eyes, Li Yu was startled, and hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Okay, now that the sword has been returned, please forgive Master Tai Tuo if it is clear!" She winked.

Ye Zhaoqing was originally unwilling to give Murong Shen face, but seeing Li Yu's appearance, she still couldn't bear to see him in trouble, so she snorted coldly and fell silent.

"The sword has been returned, so I will leave." Murong Shen said, standing up from the chair.

Li Yu quickly stood up and said in a hurry: "Master, don't leave in a hurry! My father said today that I want you to share some military affairs for me..."

Murong Shen glanced at him with a half smile but didn't answer.

Li Yu quickly showed a flattering smile: "Master, just help me this time!"

"No." Murong Shen refused bluntly: "Your Highness is now the crown prince, inside and outside the palace, there are many pairs of eyes staring at you, waiting to grab your pigtails, but at this time you Tell me, you want me to share the government affairs for you? Then what do you want the real prince to do?"

Li Yu's face was flushed when he heard this, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to argue: "No! Master, it was the father who asked me to..."

"The emperor told you to die, will you go?" Murong Shen said coldly.

Li Yu opened his mouth, and immediately had nothing to say.

Perhaps because he felt that what he said was too harsh, Murong Shen slowed down his tone and said: "Your Highness, sometimes you just listen to what the emperor says, and don't take it seriously. If you really do what the emperor wants, he may Not happy."

"I have been taught." Li Yu said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Murong Shen glanced at him with a calm expression, folded his hands for a moment, then turned and left.

Ye Zhaoqing had been standing behind the two of them watching this scene, showing a thoughtful expression.

Sure enough, Li Yu no longer had any thoughts of fooling around. In the afternoon, he obediently stayed in the study and went to do government affairs.

Without his entanglement, Ye Zhaoqing was finally clean.

However, Concubine Rong sent Madam Xue, who was beside her, to invite someone: "Prince Concubine, Your Majesty, please come over."

"But what's the matter?" Ye Zhaoqing hurriedly got up.

Xue Momo smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, I think the empress is bored, so she asked the princess to go over and talk with her. You don't have to be nervous."

Concubine Rong hates herself so much, how could she be willing to ask herself to accompany her?Ye Zhaoqing couldn't help but rolled his eyes fiercely in his heart, but nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll clean up now, and go with the mother."

"Crown Princess, please." Madam Xue responded, and then stood there respectfully.

Ye Zhaoqing went back to the inner hall, and Liu'er took care of changing clothes.

"Prince Concubine, it must not be as simple as it seems to invite you to come over this time. After all, the incident happened in Dingguo Mansion..." Liu Er took out a gold hairpin and put it on Ye Zhaoqing's head, He said in a low voice: "The servant girl cannot accompany you into the inner hall, you have to be careful!"

Ye Zhaoqing glanced at this girl who was really thinking about her from the bronze mirror, but recalled Lin Xirong's words in his mind.

"Ling'er is dead."

Liu'er was taken aback, and the jade comb in her hand fell to the ground with a snap. She glanced at Ye Zhaoqing blankly, and said, "Madam, what are you talking about? Ling'er is dead? Isn't it Miss Lin who has been taking care of her? Why? will die?"

Because of the excitement, she even trembled all over.

"On the day of my wedding, I was hit by a woman, killing two people." Ye Zhaoqing said in a calm voice. She was sad all day yesterday, so when she brought up this topic again today, she was already very calm.

"How could it be..." Liu'er heard the words, and the circles of her eyes gradually turned red: "Which woman did it? Why didn't you invite a doctor? How could you just watch..."

Ye Zhaoqing was very sad when he heard the same words that he asked Lin Xirong back then, but his voice was very calm: "Don't talk about things that have passed. Alright, help me change my clothes!"

Liu'er listened to this, and then looked at Ye Zhaoqing's expressionless face, and felt another sadness in her heart at that moment, she nodded, said nothing, and turned to go to the closet to pick out clothes.

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Zhaoqing changed into a lake-green palace attire, with exquisite hairpins on her towering temple hair. She was charming yet dignified, which fit her status as a princess.

Ye Zhaoqing is very satisfied with this, Liu'er's ability to match clothes and jewelry is by no means comparable to that of ordinary maids.

When they arrived at the outer hall, Mammy Xue was still waiting. The moment she saw Ye Zhaoqing, a look of amazement appeared in her eyes, and she immediately said respectfully, "Crown Princess, let's go!"

"Your mother has been waiting for a long time." Ye Zhaoqing said, holding Liu'er's hand out of the palace gate, and got on the imperial chariot under the jade steps at the gate.

Nanny Xue and Liu'er followed.

Soon, Yongchun Palace arrived.

Ye Zhaoqing got off the imperial chariot, looked up at the magnificent palace in front of him, and walked in.

Not surprisingly, when she was paying her respects above the main hall, she saw Murong Yan sitting beside Concubine Rong, and there was also a middle-aged beautiful woman with gorgeous clothes and a good face.

Needless to say, this is naturally the Mrs. Dingguo who has a very good personal relationship with Concubine Rong.

This little sister of the Murong family actually entered the palace today.

Ye Zhaoqing's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything. He paid respects to Concubine Rong according to the rules: "Daughter-in-law sees the queen mother!" As he spoke, he glanced at the beautiful woman next to him, and pretended to be surprised: "This is..."

"This is Mrs. Dingguo!" Concubine Rong waved her hand and said.

Mrs. Ding Guo got up immediately: "My wife has seen the Crown Princess!"

"It turned out to be Madam. When I visited the door the day before yesterday, I didn't see her... Get up quickly!" Ye Zhaoqing said with a smile.

"That day, the minister's wife happened to be attending a banquet at the house of Princess Anyang, and missed the opportunity to meet the crown princess." Mrs. Dingguo said with a smile.

As expected of the lady who wields real power in a big family, she is shrewd and wise in every word and deed.No wonder she was able to make handkerchiefs with Concubine Rong for decades.

What a bird of a feather!

Ye Zhaoqing thought secretly.

But at this moment, Murong Yan also got up from the brocade stool, bent down and bowed to Ye Zhaoqing: "I have seen the princess!"

"Sister Yan'er, please get up!" Ye Zhaoqing said with a smile, "Since you call me sister-in-law, there is no need to be so polite between you and me."

Murong Yan stood up slowly, with the same smile on her face: "Thank you sister-in-law."

"Okay, what are you doing with so much courtesy? Sit down quickly!" Concubine Rong was very satisfied when she saw the scene in front of her. If the two people who greeted her were swapped again, she would be even more satisfied.

Now, she doesn't reject Ye Zhaoqing so much anymore. Seeing that she has to help Li Yu detoxify at the risk of her life, Concubine Rong decided that after Murong Yan becomes the crown princess in the future, she can show mercy and let Ye Zhaoqing do it. A concubine.

As for the matter of Li Yu's doting on Ye Zhaoqing, Concubine Rong was too 'magnanimous' not to care about it, after all, they were all her daughters-in-law, so he could dote on whichever one his son wanted to dote on!She doesn't interfere.As long as she gave birth to a grandson as soon as possible.

"Thank you mother concubine (mother)!"

Concubine Rong glanced at the two beauties with similar talents and appearance with a smile, and said slowly: "Princess Concubine, Yan'er felt very sorry for your injury in Dingguo's mansion the day before yesterday, and I am here to apologize to you today. Here we come, I will be the host today, I hope you will smile away your grievances!"

When Murong Yan heard this, she hurriedly stood up, bowed to Ye Zhaoqing, and said with shame on her face: "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry the day before yesterday."

"Sister Yan'er, don't be so polite!" Ye Zhaoqing stretched out his hand to help Murong Yan up, and said indifferently: "I'm still afraid that you will blame me for collapsing your rockery! It's my first time to be a guest at someone's house This kind of thing happened, this palace is really too reckless." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Concubine Rong, and said with shame on his face: "Mother and concubine, please punish me, it's Zhaoqing who embarrasses you."
