The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 114 Dilemma
"I have entrusted you with a task. Now leave the palace and give this letter to your lady." Ye Zhaoqing didn't look at Liu'er, but said with a blank expression: "After going there, I will watch your lady open the letter with my own eyes. Letter, and then, you listen to her and decide whether to return to the palace or not."

"Princess Concubine, what happened?" Liu'er immediately widened her eyes when she heard this, and glanced at Ye Zhaoqing in disbelief.

Her intuition told her that something big happened!And this matter is related to Lin Xirong.

Mrs. Lin must have done something again!
Liu'er couldn't help thinking bitterly in her heart, but she didn't reach out to pick up the letter. She glanced at Ye Zhaoqing cautiously, and said, "Prince Princess, although this servant doesn't know what happened, I only have one sentence. No matter what, I will never leave you!"

"It's good if you have this kind of heart." Ye Zhaoqing heard this, obviously feeling very uncomfortable in his heart, but he forced a smile on his face, put the letter into Liu'er's hand, and said: "Go quickly!" ! Remember what I said!"

Liu'er was forced to accept the letter, but it was as if she had picked up a hot potato in her hands, neither was it true for Reng, nor was it for keeping it, she was as smart as she, and had already guessed what happened.

"Go! Don't embarrass me." Ye Zhaoqing waved his hand at Liu'er, and then said to Li Yu tiredly: "Your Highness, I'm tired, can you help me in?"

"Okay!" When Li Yu heard this, great joy burst out in his eyes, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Ye Zhaoqing into the inner hall with half hugs and half hugs.

Liu Er held the letter in her hand and stared blankly for a moment, then finally turned her head and walked out.

When she reached the gate of the palace, she suddenly heard a scream coming from the inner hall, and immediately after, Li Yu's voice came out angrily: "Ye Zhaoqing! You kill the donkey! This is also my palace." My bedroom, I will not leave!"

Liu'er, who had already walked outside the hall, couldn't help but burst out laughing, her concubine and prince are really a pair of treasures!
The next moment, she heard Li Yuman's aggrieved voice again in the bedroom: "Good Qinger, don't chase me away, okay?"

"Get out!" Followed by Ye Zhaoqing's cold voice.

Liu'er didn't dare to listen more, turned around and left quickly.

……

Outside the main gate of the Lin Mansion, an ordinary carriage stopped, the door curtain was lifted, and a young servant girl with combed temples and wearing a blue satin double-breasted gown quickly got out of the carriage, pinched the things in her arms, lifted the Then he walked to the Lin mansion.

"Yo! Isn't this Miss Liu'er who has been with the Crown Princess? Why are you here?" The gatekeeper's sharp eyes recognized Liu'er at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her warmly: "What did the Crown Princess send you back for? "

Liu'er glanced at it and saw that it was Zhao Si, the servant of the Lin family who was talking, she nodded immediately and said: "The Crown Princess sent me back to see Miss. Open the side door!"

She is just a servant girl and cannot enter the main gate of the Lin Mansion.

"Oh! What a coincidence, Miss went out in a carriage today." Zhao Si immediately said, "I just left an hour ago!"

Liu'er was startled when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "Going out? Do you know where you went?"

"Well, I'm not quite sure..." Zhao Si said, he gave Liu'er a mischievous look, and tried to blink his mung bean eyes.

Liu Er lived in the Lin Mansion for a long time, and lived in the palace for such a long time, she could understand what Zhao Si meant at a glance, she took out two liang of silver from her sleeve, threw it at Zhao Si angrily, and said, "Quickly tell me! I'm looking for Miss." There is something urgent! I have delayed the affairs of the princess, so I want you to look good!"

Zhao Si stretched out his hand to take the silver, took a closer look at it, and then replied with a smile: "Yesterday, Miss Murong from Dingguo's family sent an invitation to our lady, saying that she was invited to come and give something. Hua, no, it's hard to turn down the hospitality, this morning, the young lady went out..."

"Go to Duke Dingguo's mansion?" Liu'er was a little dumbfounded when she heard this.

"Yes! Do you have anything else to ask?" Zhao Si said with a smile.

Liu'er really didn't want to see his philistine face, so she waved her hand and ordered him to go away. She stood there by herself, quietly glanced at the huge plaque in front of the Lin Mansion's gate, turned around and was about to leave.

But at this moment, the closed door of the Lin Mansion made a muffled creak and slowly opened from the inside.

As soon as Liu'er turned her head, she saw Caiyu, the maid beside Mrs. Lin, appearing at the door.

"Is Liu'er back? Madame invites you in!"

After hearing this, Liu'er was startled: "madam invite me in?"

"Yes!" Caiyu said, walked out from the door, grabbed Liu'er's arm, and said with a smile: "You are here to find Miss, and it took so long to come, how can I let you Empty? It happens that Miss is not at home, you can just go in and wait, Madam has already sent someone to invite Miss to come back!"

"That's it!" Liu'er breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, raised her eyes to look at Caiyu, and said, "Then I would like to thank Madam."

"They're all from my own family, why are you being so polite..." Caiyu giggled, took Liu'er's hand and walked inside.

Liu'er was involuntarily dragged away by her, but her brows were furrowed almost invisibly.

She is obviously a member of the Crown Princess now, and she has already broken away from the Lin family. Why is this colorful jade said to be from her own family?

In view of Mrs. Lin's usual actions, Liu Er secretly raised her vigilance in her heart.

Caiyu dragged her all the way, and greeted any servants passing by. Everyone in the Lin family knew that Liu'er was now the princess's concubine. In the palace, she called Bai Nuo, and they were all full of strange expectations like watching a gorilla. Looking at her, there was curiosity and inquiry in those eyes.

"Tell me, she's fine, why did she come back all of a sudden? Could it be that the Crown Princess refuses to have her?" Before Liu'er had gone far, a servant began to discuss in a low voice.

Liu'er, who was walking, turned pale instantly when she heard this.

This speaks to her pain.

Ye Zhaoqing really didn't want her anymore.

"Liu'er, don't take it to heart, they don't mean anything malicious." Caiyu quietly looked at Liu'er's expression as she walked.

"I'm fine." Liu'er nodded her head pretending to be calm, and gave Caiyu a smile back.

"That's good."

While talking for a while, the courtyard where Mrs. Lin lived arrived.

"Liu'er, hurry up? Ma'am is still waiting for you!" Caiyu turned her head and saw Liu'er in a daze, and immediately raised her hand to greet her.

Liu'er hesitated for a moment, then walked in beside Caiyu.

As soon as she entered the door, Liu'er smelled a strong scent of sandalwood. The light in the room was a bit dim, and it took her a long time to see clearly that there was a woman sitting in the middle of the room, who looked to be Mrs. Lin.

However, Mrs. Lin's expression was completely different from the past, as if she was a different person.

In the past, Mrs. Lin always smiled gently no matter when and where, but now, her face is as stiff as a clay sculpture, serious and unsmiling, which makes people feel fearful when they see her.

"Liu'er has seen Madam!" Seeing her appearance, Liu'er's heart skipped a beat and she knelt down hastily.

Madam Lin didn't ask her to get up, but picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip slowly before she said, "You're back? But what's the reason?"

Liu'er opened her mouth and wanted to say that she came back to give Lin Xirong a letter under Ye Zhaoqing's order.But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them wittily: "Returning to Madam, the Crown Princess misses Miss, and it is inconvenient for her to leave the palace, so she ordered her slaves to come back to visit Miss."

She knew that if she told about the letter, Mrs. Lin would try her best to take the letter away from her.

How can this be?When she left, she clearly agreed to Ye Zhaoqing and handed it over to Lin Xirong.

"Aren't you telling the truth? Just look at it so simple?" Mrs. Lin obviously didn't believe this sentence, she raised her sinister eyes and gave Liu'er a cold look, and she said slowly: "Liu'er! By your side, you have been serving me for almost ten years, right?"

"Responding to Madam, nine years and two months." Liu Er replied in a low voice.

Mrs. Lin laughed out loud when she heard the words: "I remember it really clearly! You are indeed a girl who never forgets her roots. Tell me, has Mrs. Ben treated you badly in the past ten years?"

Liu'er heard this, and said with sincerity and fear: "Returning to Madam, you have never treated slaves badly!"

"Did Xirong treat you badly?"

"No, miss treats me as much as a mountain." Liu'er replied.

Mrs. Lin's expression eased a little when she heard the words, she quietly glanced at Ye Zhaoqing, and then said slowly: "Okay, let me ask you again, what did the princess ask you to come back today?"

"Returning to Madam, what did the servant just say? The Crown Princess just missed Miss, so she ordered the servant to..."

"You're lying!" Before Liu'er finished speaking, Mrs. Lin suddenly reached out and slapped the table hard, with a ferocious expression on her face.

Seeing this scene, Liu'er immediately knelt there in fright, not daring to make a sound.

"Caiyu! Search her body!" Mrs. Lin lazily followed her politely, and directly ordered Caiyu beside her.

"Yes! Ma'am!" Caiyu walked up to Liu'er in response, and reached out to touch her arms!
Just when she was on the road, she saw Liu'er reaching out to touch her chest from time to time, there must be something hidden here!

"No! Ma'am, you can't do this!" Liu'er waved away Caiyu's hand, and said nervously, "Your maidservant belongs to the Crown Princess, you can't search me!"

"Are you from the Crown Princess?" Mrs. Lin laughed sinisterly when she heard the words, creepy: "But where you are standing now is the Lin Mansion! The Crown Princess is not here, if you count on her It would be too naive to come to support you!"

"Madam, you can't do this..." Liu'er had nothing to say except shaking her head and pleading.

"If your princess doesn't want you to suffer this grievance, she won't let you come back alone!" Mrs. Lin said, squinting at Caiyu who was standing blankly by the side, and said coldly: "What are you still standing there for? If you can't handle her, wouldn't you call a helper?"

Caiyu trembled when she heard this, she didn't dare to say anything more, she hurriedly called two maids to come in, pressed Liu'er tightly, and then took out the letter written by Ye Zhaoqing from her chest.

"Ma'am! The Crown Princess said that this letter is for Miss! You can't open it!" Liu'er shouted in despair.

However, Mrs. Lin turned a deaf ear to it, she took the letter from Caiyu herself, opened it and looked down.

"Hahaha!" Mrs. Lin laughed crazily as she watched, "I'm entangled in many things now, and I can't see you often, so I'm sending you a letter, and I'll cut off my friendship from now on..."

While reading, she laughed crazily, and the whole room was filled with her crazily laughing, not to mention Liu Er, even Caiyu and other servants were a little frightened.

After finally finishing reading, Mrs. Lin raised her eyes and gave Liu'er a fierce look, and said, "The Crown Princess is going to abandon my Xi Rong! Together with you!"

"No! I'm the princess's servant girl! Today, in the future, and forever!" Liu'er heard this, and without knowing where the strength came from, she suddenly yelled crazily!
Mrs. Lin's eyes sank, and a bloodthirsty light shot out of her eyes. She stared at Liu'er closely, and asked word by word: "What did you say? Say what you just said again! Who are you?" people?"

"Just say it! The maidservant belongs to the Crown Princess! She has been for the rest of her life!" Liu'er didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly crazily refuted Mrs. Lin.

"Okay! Very good!" Mrs. Lin smiled instead of anger when she heard this, turned her head to look at Caiyu, and said in a deep voice, "Go, take that thing out!"

"Yes, ma'am." Caiyu replied, then turned and entered the room.

Liu'er glanced at Caiyu in surprise, she didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in the gourd, but she made up her mind, no matter how much Mrs. Lin forced her today, she would never change her mind!

If Mrs. Lin wants to find out the secret of the Crown Princess from her, I'm sorry, don't think about it!

She is a single-minded person, when she was serving Lin Xirong, she was wholeheartedly for her good. Later, Lin Xirong changed hands and gave her to Ye Zhaoqing, and repeatedly asked her to treat Ye Zhaoqing as her master.Now, she listened to their words and regarded Ye Zhaoqing as her own master, taking care of her wholeheartedly. On the contrary, they wanted her to leave Ye Zhaoqing and betray her master.

How is this possible?

"Madam, here." But at this moment, Caiyu came out from the room, holding a small square brocade box in her hand, and she handed it to Madam Lin.

"You girl, you are really too stubborn, but Madam Ben expected you to be stubborn a long time ago, so I prepared this." Madam Lin took the brocade box, opened it slowly, stretched out her hand and twisted out a small The small, red pill, the size of the tip of an index finger, looked at it in front of her eyes, then stood up, and walked slowly in front of Liu'er.

"Grab her! Don't let her struggle!" Mrs. Lin ordered in a deep voice.

Several servants standing on both sides stepped forward immediately, pulling arms by arms, legs by legs, and firmly controlled Liu'er.

"Ma'am! What are you going to do? If you dare to kill me, the Crown Princess will not let you go!" A look of panic appeared in Liu'er's eyes.

Mrs. Liu giggled when she heard the words, and said while laughing: "Although the Crown Princess wants to break up with our family Xi Rong, but do you think that because of their relationship, the Crown Princess will marry you for a little maid like you?" Am I right?"

Liu'er immediately lowered her head when she heard the words, with a look of disappointment in her eyes.

Of course she knew the Crown Princess' feelings for Lin Xirong.

"Now do you understand?" Mrs. Lin said slowly: "Everything you have encountered today was given by the Crown Princess, because she let you come here alone." As she spoke, she pried open Liu'er chin, fed the red pill in his hand to Liu'er.

Liu'er stared at her with a pair of eyes that could burst into flames with anger.

"I know the Crown Princess is good at medicine, so you will definitely ask her to help you detoxify." Mrs. Lin clapped her hands, went back to the chair and sat down, took a good look at Liu'er, and said with a smile: "But you know? I'll feed you Take this pill, even if there are a hundred princesses in this world, they still cannot unravel it."

"This pill will not cause poison immediately, if you take the antidote on time, you can still live as before." Madam Lin said, looked at Liu'er with a smile and said: "As for whether you want the antidote, it's up to you It's mine." Saying that, he ordered the servants on both sides to let Liu'er go.

In her opinion, Liu'er is already in her pocket, and it won't be long before this stubborn donkey will surrender to her.

As soon as Liu'er was free, she quickly stretched out her hand to pick at her throat, but the pill had already been swallowed, so how could she get it out?It made her so sick that she almost vomited.

Mrs. Lin looked at this scene triumphantly, and finally took a look at Liu Er and said: "Don't bother, the pill melts in your mouth, and now it has already settled in your internal organs. If you want me to say, you Just listen to me obediently, I will send someone to deliver this antidote to the palace for you every month..."

"I'm going to kill you!" Before Madam Lin finished speaking, Liu'er got up from the ground with a grim expression, and then quickly rushed towards her!Look at that appearance, it is indeed a plan to die together.

All the maids and women in the room were stunned.Mrs. Lin was caught off guard, and was knocked down by Liu'er, her head hit the icy ground in pain. She screamed repeatedly: "Stop her! Stop her! Kill her!" This bitch!"

After struggling, Liu'er was finally controlled by the maidservant who caught up. She stood there, her feet were still thumping non-stop, and her eyes were full of anger.

Mrs. Lin is angry!

She had never been so embarrassed in her life.I have never been so ashamed in front of people!Liu'er violated her big taboo!
"I've changed my mind!" After walking over and slapping Liu'er more than a dozen times with her own hands, Mrs. Lin said slowly, "If you're so disobedient, even if you stay, it's useless." She said Glancing at Caiyu, he said in a deep voice, "Go yourself, take her down, and do it cleanly."

Caiyu hesitated when she heard the words: "Madam, is this not good? Anyway, you have already fed her the poison. As long as you don't give the antidote, she will die in the end, so why bother..."

"Idiot!" Mrs. Lin immediately said angrily after hearing this: "As long as the girl is dealt with without anyone noticing, and the princess asks about it later, let's say that we didn't see her and push her away. No one is seen, no dead body is seen, what can she do?"

Of course, secret hatred is certain.

But Mrs. Lin is not afraid, she has already offended Ye Zhaoqing, the two of them are already in an endless situation, now she still cares about one more thing?
This is the reason why the so-called lice are not afraid of itching.

"Take it away!" she said gruffly.

"Yes! Ma'am!" Caiyu didn't dare to say anything more, and waved her hand to the maids and women around her. Soon, a large group of people dragged Liu'er's body out of the room.

Mrs. Lin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this scene.

But the next moment, Caiyu returned from the outside in a panic: "Madam! Not good! Miss is back!"

"What?" Mrs. Lin was taken aback when she heard the words, and immediately stood up from the chair: "Miss, did you see Liu'er?"

"Yes! Ma'am!" Caiyu said urgently: "As soon as the servants carried Liu'er out, the young lady came back with someone, just in time!"

"Don't panic!" Mrs. Lin stabilized her mind, glared at Caiyu fiercely, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you nervous? Where is Miss now? Where is she?"

"Miss is in the yard, and has already chased away all the women who were carrying Liu'er..."

"What? You didn't say it earlier!" Mrs. Lin was shocked when she heard this, she couldn't care about Caiyu anymore, and hurried out of the room with her skirt.

But as soon as she got to the door, she saw that Lin Xirong had come with a man in a threatening manner.

"Xi Rong, what are you doing?" Mrs. Lin stopped, glanced at her daughter, and said with a smile on her face, "Did you go to the Dingguo Mansion to see Miss Murong today? What are you talking about?" Sample……"

"Mother, why did you order someone to execute Liu'er? What did she do wrong?" Lin Xirong interrupted Mrs. Lin's chatter and asked in a cold voice: "Also, what about the letter that the Crown Princess asked her to bring to me? Mother, please give it back to me!"

Mrs. Lin stood still, the smile on her face slowly dissipated.

"Xi Rong, you don't believe mother, do you?" Mrs. Lin said slowly, as if it was extremely difficult to say every word: "Or, do you only believe this girl? You know she came back today and said in front of me what?"

"What did Liu'er say?" Lin Xirong asked.

Mrs. Lin looked up at her, and said: "This girl said that the princess has been dissatisfied with you for a long time, and she doesn't want to have sex with you for a long time! She also said that the princess showed a deep love for your sister on the surface. It looks like, but in fact, I have long hated you in my heart! This time, she asked this girl to send you a letter of resignation! If you don’t believe me, see for yourself!”

After speaking, Madam Lin reached out and took out the letter from her sleeve, and threw it to Lin Xirong.

Lin Xirong received the letter, but did not look down, but turned to look at the dying Liu Er: "Is what my mother said true?"

"Miss... You know what kind of person the Crown Princess is like..." Liu Er raised her head weakly and glanced at Lin Xirong when she heard this, and said in a hoarse voice, "This servant does not know the contents of the letter, so I don’t dare to speak in vain, but what this servant wants to tell Miss is that even if the Crown Princess wants to break up with you, Miss, she still... has no choice but to do so!”

"Hehe, what a last resort!" Mrs. Lin sneered instantly after hearing this, she stared at Liu'er, and said aggressively: "Is it His Royal Highness who forced the Crown Princess to break up with my Xi Rong? Or, is it The imperial concubine..."
