After a generation of doctors

Chapter 278 Dong Changzai

Dong Yun'er returned to Suiyuxuan again, and it felt as if she had passed away. Her maid Taozhi also came back, and she was crying with tears: "Miss, you can come back safely, this servant is relieved at last."

Since the young lady was thrown into the cold palace, she was also assigned to the Clothes Bureau.

She worried day and night, if something bad happened to her young lady, she wouldn't have to live.

"Stupid girl, you're still called Miss. If someone overhears you, you'll be charged again." Dong Yun'er said cautiously. Although there was no one in the room, it was hard to say whether there would be ears behind the walls.

"Your servant made a slip of the tongue." Tao Zhi hurriedly wiped away her tears, and said with a smile, "It is a great joy for Master to be rewarded by the Empress Dowager!"

"Look, even the imperial concubine has brought you presents."

After finishing speaking, he opened a brocade box on the table, and inside was a piece of Linghua brocade satin, interwoven with gold and silver threads, which was very gorgeous.

Dong Yun'er's eyes fell on the Linghua brocade, and her eyes immediately became resentful.

Concubine Lu Gui sent the satin of this wandering flower here, isn't it just to mock her that she has no foundation in the harem, and if she wants to survive, she can only continue to be her lackey?

But this time she was able to come out of the cold palace alive, thanks to Yuzishan's help.

If she went back to help Concubine Lu, she would be really stupid.

Dong Yun'er knew very well in her heart that Yu Zishan would not help her for no reason, she must also want to use her to do something.

Although they are both pawns, Yuzishan's character is a hundred times better than Concubine Lu's, and behind Yuzishan there is the Empress Dowager as her backer, so working with her has a better future than Concubine Lu.

"Master, should this piece of brocade be put into the warehouse now?" Tao Zhi carefully closed the box, not noticing that the master was distracted from the beginning to the end.

"Since it was given by the imperial concubine, it is natural to put it away!" Dong Yun'er lowered her eyes to hide all kinds of calculations in her eyes.

"Yes, I'll put it away, servant girl." Tao Zhi quickly put together all the brocade boxes on the table, then went out and called a young eunuch who had just been assigned to move them into the warehouse together.

After Tao Zhi put all the things away, she went back to the inner hall and reported: "Master, everything is packed."

Dong Yun'er then said: "Help me comb my hair, I will go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to greet the Empress Dowager later!"

She was able to come out of the cold palace because of the grace given by the empress dowager, and she had to thank her old man.

Dong Yun'er combed a bun, wore a pearl and jasper skirt, and an alizarin blue Eight Blessings skirt, looking very beautiful and docile.

When she first entered the palace, she had inquired about the Queen Mother's preferences, and knew that she liked virtuous and docile women.

Dong Yun'er also wanted to please the Empress Dowager and find a backer.

It's a pity that the Empress Dowager doesn't care about things, she seldom meets concubines on weekdays, and occasionally meets a few, and they are all old people in the palace who gave birth to the emperor's heirs, and newcomers like Dong Yun'er are never seen.

Dong Yun'er had no choice but to seek refuge with Concubine Lu Gui.

But this time the empress dowager took the initiative to give her this grace, so she should meet me!
Dong Yun'er was still a little apprehensive when she went to the Palace of Compassion, she was afraid of being rejected by the empress dowager, luckily the empress dowager received her.

"My concubine pays respects to the Empress Dowager!" Dong Yun'er respectfully gave a big gift to the Empress Dowager.

"Dong Changzai doesn't need to be too polite, get up!" The Empress Dowager nodded lightly, "Come here, give Dong Changzai a seat."

"Thank you Empress Dowager." Dong Yun'er saluted again before taking her seat.

"Is Dong Chang still used to returning to Broken Yuxuan?" the Empress Dowager asked politely.

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your kindness. After I returned to Suiyuxuan, all the sisters in the palace sent congratulatory gifts, and the imperial concubine even specially gave me a piece of Linghua brocade."

Dong Yun'er reported all her movements after returning to Broken Yuxuan in a soft voice.

It sounds ordinary, but it represents Dong Yuner's surrender to the Empress Dowager.

"Concubine Lu Gui really has a heart. When Dong Chang returns home, don't forget to go to Kunning Palace to greet Concubine Lu Gui."

The empress dowager nodded slightly, this Dong Yun'er is still a smart person, and this grace was not in vain for her.

"I obey." Dong Yun'er replied respectfully.

The Empress Dowager said a few more polite words, and asked a young court lady named Ruyi to send Dong Yun'er out.

Dong Yun'er didn't dare to bother the Empress Dowager too much, so she got up and saluted before leaving.

Dong Yun'er and Ruyi left the gate of the Compassionate Ning Palace, and Ruyi suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Could Dong Changzai take a step to speak?"

"Of course!" Dong Yun'er was a little flattered, and the maid next to the Empress Dowager was willing to take a chance to talk to her, which was simply what she wished for.

Dong Yun'er and Ruyi came to the side hall next to them and asked Taozhi to watch outside, then asked Ruyi, "I wonder if Miss Ruyi has any orders?"

"I don't dare to obey the order, but Princess Qin asked my servant to ask you something." Ruyi said seriously.

"Miss Ruyi, please tell me." When Dong Yun'er heard that it was Yu Zishan who wanted to ask her something, her face became more serious.

As if seeing the situation, he nodded secretly in his heart, this Dong Changzai is quite sensible, and the kindness Princess Qin asked for for her is not in vain.

"Princess Qin wants to ask Dong Chang to investigate something." Ruyi said in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" Could it be that she was asked to check on Concubine Lu Gui?
If so, it will be difficult.

Concubine Lu has dominated the harem for many years, and her eyeliner is everywhere in the palace. It is not easy to check her.

Dong Yun'er felt uneasy, if she couldn't repay the kindness that Yuzishan had given her, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager would no longer protect her.

Ruyi saw what was on Dong Yun'er's mind, and quickly said: "Dong Chang, don't worry, what Princess Qin asked you to do is very simple, that is, please pay more attention to whether there is any abnormality in the balm you usually use.

"Basm?" Dong Yun'er asked in astonishment, "The balm I usually use is issued by the palace, what's wrong?"

"Qin Prince's Mansion suspects that the balm you used before has been stolen by someone, so you must find the person who dropped it, but don't make mistakes." Ruyi actually doesn't quite understand why Princess Qin asked Dong Yuner to do this.

However, Princess Qin ordered her to do so, so she could only do so.

"The balm I used was stolen?"

Dong Yun'er was startled, she was very careful in the palace, she had checked her food, clothing, housing and transportation repeatedly, including the balm used, she would first show it to the maids around her for a trial, and then she would use it herself when there was no problem.

She has always used the balm in the palace very well, and she didn't have any problems, but after she stopped, her face immediately turned dark yellow and had spots, and it hasn't recovered until now.

But Dong Yun'er believed that Yu Zishan would not deceive her with such things, she said that if there is a problem, there must be a problem.

Apart from Concubine Lu Gui, she couldn't think of anyone else who could tamper with the balm she used.

"Concubine Qin also said that this matter may not be done by Concubine Lu Gui, please be careful and pay attention to other people around you." Ruyi said again.

Who is it not Lu Guifei?
Dong Yun'er really couldn't think of anyone else in the palace who wanted to harm her.

Concubine Lu is the only one in the harem, and the concubines below are all sympathetic to each other. Without Concubine Lu's will, no one would dare to attack other concubines.

Because Lu Guifei has a strong desire to control, things that are not within her control will be eliminated by her.

"It's a very important matter, please pay more attention to Dong Chang, the slave has left." Ruyi couldn't come out for too long, and she went back after explaining the matter.

Dong Yun'er came out of the side hall, frowning tightly, always feeling that there was a fog in front of her, and she couldn't tell the truth clearly.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Tao Zhi asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Dong Yun'er shook her head, cheered up and said, "Let's go to Kunning Palace."

Just now the Empress Dowager specifically mentioned that she was going to Kunning Palace to pay her respects to Concubine Lu Gui, and she had to go there as soon as possible.

But even without the empress dowager's suggestion, she still had to go.

Concubine Lu Gui is the lord of the harem, no matter how much she hates her, she must save face.

Dong Yun'er brought the peach branch to Kunning Palace, the little eunuch guarding the gate smiled immediately when he saw her: "My servant, Dong Changzai pays his respects."

"Father-in-law is exempt." Dong Yun'er smiled decently.

Taozhi then took out a small purse and stuffed it into the eunuch's hand, "Please tell me, my father-in-law, my master wants to pay his respects to the imperial concubine and empress."

"Dong Changzai is too polite, this servant will go in and report." The little eunuch put away the small purse and went in, but after entering, he never came out again.

Dong Yun'er and Tao Zhi stood outside for half an hour, but no one from Kunning Palace came out to speak to them.

Tao Zhi wanted to ask other people to help pass it on, but the others declined on the grounds that they were not qualified to enter the inner hall.

Dong Yun'er knew that Concubine Lu Gui was giving her power.

He probably couldn't understand her going to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager first.

If it was before, let alone half an hour, even two hours, she would have to stand and wait for Lu Guifei to summon her.

But now that she has the Empress Dowager as her backer, she doesn't want to look at Lu Guifei's face like before.

In addition, she suffered a lot in the cold palace before, and her health is not very good.

After standing for another half an hour, Dong Yun'er's legs began to shake, her whole body went limp, and then she went limp as soon as she rolled her eyes.

"Master, master, what's wrong with you?" Tao Zhi was shocked, and hurried to help the master, but she fell to the ground together with her.

The master and servant fell to the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.

The maid guarding the door hurried into the inner hall to report Dong Yun'er's fainting.

"Did you faint in less than an hour?" Concubine Lu Gui raised her slender eyebrows and sneered when she heard the news, "I remember that when she entered the palace, she was fine after standing for two hours. After becoming the empress dowager, her body has become delicate."

Think back when Dong Yun'er first came to visit her in the palace, she also gave such an insult.

As a result, Dong Yun'er gritted her teeth and stood there for two hours, and when she came in with her feet shaking, she smiled obsequiously.

Seeing that Dong Yun'er was acquainted, she rewarded her for serving the emperor.
