"If I want to learn embroidery, then the sky must be falling and someone needs to repair it. Your Highness, since you are here, why don't you accompany me to practice a few tricks?"
In the past, they were always at the mercy of others because they were not strong enough. Now they are not much different in height and their strength can barely compete with each other. They are excellent candidates for discussion.
She was eager to try it, but Gu Lieyang showed no interest.
"No?"
Mo Lanyue blinked her big and pitiful eyes, showing an innocent look that made me feel sorry for her, completely defeating Gu Lieyang. Being stared at by these watery eyes, it was a crime to compromise or not.
He tied the hem of his gown around his waist and stood in front of Mo Lanyue. The two faced off. The most important thing was their momentum. Mo Lanyue was playing with the newly learned moves. Although there were some shortcomings, they were beginning to take shape. Gu Lieyang
As soon as she made the move, Mo Lanyue couldn't help but sigh. As soon as this expert made a move, she would know if she had done the same action. Gu Lieyang was much more handsome than her and had much more momentum.
Undeterred, she took the lead and punched Gu Lieyang on the chest. Gu Lieyang changed his fist into a claw and grabbed her wrist, instantly restraining her movements.
Mo Lanyue was unwilling to admit defeat and couldn't move her hands, so she stretched out her legs to kick. Gu Lieyang's body evaded like a snake, and after several kicks, one of his kicks did not touch the edge of his trouser leg.
She couldn't help but waved her hands angrily, "You win."
There was no way to use this mess of boxing and kicking techniques. Whenever it came to actual combat, she only had those few moves in her mind, but she didn't know how to integrate them and use them together.
If this continues, she may have to give up again. For so long, she has not found a martial arts that is suitable for her. No matter how fancy the martial arts is, it cannot be as simple and domineering as her set of grappling hands.
"Giving up so soon?"
"Otherwise, do I have to give up after you beat me to pieces and cry bitterly?"
"You know, I'm talking about this boxing technique."
Mo Lanyue took out the boxing secret book and touched it reluctantly. After all, she had been learning for nearly a month. It was a pity to give up like this.
"Since you are reluctant to give up, then persevere. None of those masters have been learning martial arts for ten years. You have only learned it for a month. It is normal to not succeed."
Gu Lieyang said to her partly to comfort and partly to educate her.
"Your Highness, Miss Lanyue, and the eldest princess have sent someone to invite Miss Lanyue to drink tea at the Purple Qing Palace."
A palace maid trotted over to report. Mo Lanyue frowned, her face full of reluctance.
After Princess Caidie became the eldest princess, she did not let her go. Every now and then, she would be sent to invite her to come and sit down. In name, she was invited, but in fact, she was always asked in different ways. Seeing that she was tired, she followed
She was as happy as a pug.
I really don't know if he is born with a mental disorder, Mo Lanyue cursed in her heart.
"The imperial sister-in-law really misses you so much."
Gu Lieyang said with a gloating smile.
Since her wedding, Princess Caiyun has not come to him any more confused about where she stands, but for Mo Lanyue, for some reason she always wants to torture her from time to time.
"Your Highness, please be secretly happy now. When Princess Caiyun's sister comes to visit her relatives one day, you will suffer a lot. Then don't cry in front of me. I won't rescue you even if you beat me to death!"
She glared at Gu Lieyang with contempt, and followed the palace maid to the front yard as if she was on the execution ground. When Princess Caiyun often sent someone to invite her, she would have people wait outside. She was not allowed to go back until she received someone.
In order not to make it difficult for those slaves, she would be so obedient and go whenever invited.
When she reached the door of Ziqing Palace, she straightened her hair and then walked in energetically.
"Lanyue, you are finally here. I am bored to death here."
As soon as she entered the door, Princess Caiyun's voice immediately reached her ears.
Bored... She is bored when others are busy, so why does she always want others to kill her boring time? Shameless!
"Princess, His Highness the First Prince has no time to spend with you again?"
Mo Lanyue poked at Princess Caiyun's pain point without any politeness, asking you to disturb my peace again, letting you disturb my peace again... someone repeated with a sinister heart.
"As the saying goes, those who are capable work hard. Lie Qing is always busy outside alone. Alas, your Third Highness is a pretty good person, so why hasn't he been reused by the emperor?"
Ye Caiyun sighed with regret, and Mo Lanyue saw through her true purpose at a glance.
Show off, you can show off, but he is responsible for some canal projects between the DPRK and China. He has a lot of credit and a lot of oil and water. It is not that Gu Lieyang is not favored by his father, but these projects require personal attention.
When he went to supervise the work, Gu Lieyang didn't want to take it because he didn't want to leave the palace because it was inconvenient. Look at Princess Caiyun's words, as if she had many husbands and gained power.
Just based on his status as the first prince, he could not get the title of crown prince. It can be seen that he is just like that in front of the emperor. There are better seed players among his younger brothers, so the father will hesitate again and again.
At this time, the palace maid brought him freshly made cakes, which were just right to eat with hot tea. Although Ye Caiyun always showed off her power in front of Mo Lanyue, the only thing she said was that she invited her to have tea and snacks, which was really true.
Really, delicious snacks are served every time. No matter whether Mo Lanyue likes to eat or not, she has to eat it herself.
Mo Lanyue was too lazy to compliment her, and she didn't want to offend her openly. The best choice at this time was to eat snacks quietly, and then praise her cook for making a good snack.
With a smile on her face, she picked up one of the pastries, hibiscus cake. This pastry was the most eaten in the Purple Purple Palace. It must be said that this pastry is usually the most delicious among all the pastries.
Mo Lanyue opened her red lips lightly, and brought the hibiscus cake to her mouth. Suddenly she smelled a strange fragrance, and she looked at the cake in her hand doubtfully.
She had eaten this hibiscus cake here not once or twice. The smell this time was particularly different. It had the same fragrance, but she intuitively felt that there was... something wrong with this cake.
"Why, are the pastries not cooked well this time?"
While Mo Lanyue was wondering, Ye Caiyun had already put a piece of cake in his mouth and started eating it. While eating, he asked.
Mo Lanyue smelled the cake in her hand carefully again, and her expression changed, "Princess, this cake cannot be eaten, it is poisonous!"
Her words startled Ye Caiyun, who hurriedly spit out the cake before he could swallow it.
Although Mo Lanyue was just a low-class girl in her eyes, she had to listen to her words at certain times. If this pastry was really poisonous, wouldn't she have died unjustly?
"Lanyue, why do you say the pastries are poisonous?"
"The smell is wrong. Although I don't know what drugs were added to it, I am certain that there is definitely something wrong with this pastry."
"What the hell?! You actually have the heart to take advantage of me... What's wrong with these four..."
Ye Caiyun, who was talking, suddenly couldn't speak clearly. Even so, Mo Lanyue could still understand her words clearly from her unclear articulation.
"Hurry and ask for the imperial physician."
Mo Lanyue quickly gave instructions to the maid next to her, and then helped Ye Caiyun go back to her room and lie down.
"The princess feels her tongue is numb and she can't speak clearly?"
Looking at Ye Caiyun's painful look on the verge of crying, she could only guess.
Ye Caiyun nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Mo Lanyue comforted her, "You didn't even swallow that piece of cake. It should be fine. The numbness on your tongue is probably caused by a little poison. Wait until the imperial doctor comes.
I will explain the situation to you so that he can diagnose and treat you."
The palace doctor arrived quickly. Mo Lanyue briefly explained the situation and asked him to take Ye Caiyun's pulse.
After feeling the pulse and looking at the tongue, the imperial doctor said, "It is indeed a symptom of poisoning, but it is not a problem. It is a very mild symptom. Weichen can just prescribe some medicine for the princess to take."
"Thank you, the doctor."
As Mo Lanyue expected, there was no danger. She sent the imperial doctor away and returned to Ye Caiyun's bedside, "Prince Concubine, who have you offended?"
Ye Caiyun, who was lying on the bed, waved her hands and feet excitedly and chattered nonsense. At this time, Mo Lanyue really couldn't understand her words at all. She could only cover her with a quilt, "You now
I’m afraid I won’t be able to talk properly until the symptoms of poisoning are gone. It’s better to wait until you’ve boiled the medicine and drank it, then find out who poisoned you, and have a good rest first.”
In the harem, poisoning and harming people often happened, but it was more common among the concubines. Princess Caiyun had only one husband, who would want to kill her? Mo Lanyue couldn't think of it.
Doesn't make sense.
But soon, the news that the eldest princess was poisoned and murdered spread in the palace, and even the Ziyang Palace was full of rumors about the Ziqing Palace.
It is said that as soon as Ye Caiyun returned to normal, she immediately ran to the emperor and cried and complained. The eldest prince was not there, and asked the emperor to help her catch the real culprit. The emperor also took the poisoning incident more seriously and sent people to investigate the matter. It caused a stir in the harem for a while.
The people among them were panic-stricken, fearing that this disaster would happen to them.
According to the last news I heard, the person who poisoned her was actually found, and she turned out to be a palace maid in the Purple Qing Palace. Mo Lanyue never asked about this matter, because she knew that there were many injustices in this palace.
It's over. Maybe the palace maid really suffered a great injustice. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she chose to poison Ye Caiyun in revenge. But no matter how poisoning someone, it's still wrong, and she almost got hurt.
to her guest.
So when this matter was spreading, Mo Lanyue was exercising in the backyard of Ziyang Palace, or staying in the study to read. Occasionally, he would ask the maids around him how things were going. What was interesting was to ask any maid at random.
Eunuchs, they were all able to answer questions fluently and without any ambiguity, which shows the great impact of this matter.
One afternoon, Mo Lanyue was taking a nap when she was suddenly shaken awake by someone. She instinctively pinched the person's neck, and then found out that it was a woman dressed as a palace maid. However, her clothes were in tatters and she was still stained with...
It was stained with blood and his hair was as messy as a madman.
Mo Lanyue pinched her hand and did not let go. No matter how confused she was, she could tell that this palace maid was not from Ziyang Palace.
