Chapter 24: Entering the palace for the first time
Lingfei bitterly swallowed the loss of being mute. Although she was very angry, she did not dare to anger the black shadow. If the black shadow changed her mind and was no longer ready to tease her, wouldn't she be asking for trouble?
The black shadow smiled and untied her acupuncture points, pulled her up from the ground, and took her through the mountains and forests together. He didn't leave until Lingfei was thrown into the palace.
Lingfei walked through the palace in the dark. Too many things happened tonight. She needed to calm down and think about what Leng Yue's destiny was.
When I walked to the gate of Herborist Courtyard, before I could sneak in without anyone noticing, I met Situ Chen at the gate.
"Where did the princess go?" Situ Chen glanced at her unclean clothes and asked with a frown.
Lingfei sighed. She was really unlucky today. Fortunately, she had not planned to do anything bad. She took a deep breath and said calmly: "I'm going to the back mountain."
"Going to the back mountain? What to do?"
"Go catch some bees"
Situ Chen raised his lips: "I have heard about raising cats, dogs and birds, but I never thought that the princess likes to raise bees."
Lingfei said seriously: "I don't want to raise bees, but I want to treat the prince's illness. The venom from the bee's tail sting has a certain anesthetic effect. It may come in handy when the prince has a headache."
Situ Chen was stunned for a long time and then smiled: "I'm sorry for you, princess, and I've got a lot of weeds all over me."
There was obvious amusement and disbelief in his eyes. Lingfei pursed his lips and said, "I was poisoned by the purple demon flower on the back mountain..."
Situ Chen's expression slowly became serious. He reached out and brushed off a few weeds for her, and asked softly: "What did the demon flower make you see?"
"It's nothing." Lingfei lowered his head and didn't want to mention it any more. After a while, he calmed down and asked, "Is the prince here to see me?"
Situ Chen looked at her for two seconds and said calmly: "I happened to pass by and came to see the princess."
Lingfei looked at him in surprise
Situ Chen said with a smile: "I am going to Mo Yuan to see Yan'er. She has not been in good health recently, so she will not accompany the princess. Please say goodbye."
Lingfei breathed a sigh of relief and went back to his room with peace of mind.
When Huandong saw Lingfei, he looked surprised: "Princess, you are back. Why is it that the prince is so mysterious every time he summons you, and it takes so long to leave..."
Lingfei smiled and said: "It's okay, the prince was ill earlier, so I stayed in Nuansi Pavilion for a few more days."
Huandong sighed and said, "Your Majesty is always in poor health. I have wronged the princess."
Lingfei pulled Huandong to his side and asked in a low voice: "Have you been serving Princess Lingfei before?"
Huandong looked around nervously: "Princess, you can't say this, be careful that the walls have ears."
Lingfei made a silent gesture: "I will naturally be careful, you just nod or shake your head."
Huandong nodded
Lingfei continued to ask: "Then do you know what her fate is?"
"What fate?" Huandong was puzzled.
"Has any charlatan ever said that she can 'destroy a dynasty and rejuvenate it' or something like that?"
Huandong looked confused: "Princess, what are you talking about? I can't understand this slave."
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just asking. Don't go out and talk nonsense." Lingfei turned his eyes away, with worries buried deep in his eyes. Huandong didn't even know. Could it be that the destiny was not about Princess Lingfei, but about her body?
His true self - Ning Yuyan?
She was too nervous in front of the black shadow just now and didn't think much about it. Now that she thought about it, he took her away from Leng Yue, but he didn't ask her what she said to Leng Yue and why she saw Leng Yue, the true form of her own body.
What is the relationship with Heiying and Leng Yue...
Lingfei couldn't figure it out at all. She lay on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling. It was another sleepless night.
The next two days were calm, and all the mysterious figures did not appear. She became Situ Chen's princess again, trying on court clothes, learning etiquette, and preparing for entering the palace. It seemed as if nothing had happened.
The night before entering the palace, Situ Chen came to the Herborist Courtyard. He asked calmly: "Have you learned all the rules?"
Lingfei nodded
Situ Chen continued: "I am afraid that the rules of Jiang Kingdom and Ling Kingdom are different, so I have to thank the princess for these two days."
Lingfei smiled slightly: "Actually, it's almost the same. Lingfei has remembered it all. Prince, don't worry."
Situ Chen said solemnly: "My mother, Wang, was originally the queen of Xinjiang. However, she made a mistake 10 years ago and angered my father. She was deposed and ordered to die. My father is still worried about this matter.
"Huai, I didn't take you into the palace because I was afraid that you would get into trouble and be implicated because of me."
Lingfei held his breath. It turned out that Situ Chen's mother was the queen, so wasn't he originally the prince? A prince has fallen to where he is today... She asked tentatively: "What did Queen Wang commit?"
Situ Chen gave her a cold look, and Lingfei closed his mouth knowingly.
Situ Chen looked away and said calmly: "The king is telling you this not to ask for your sympathy, but to remind you to be careful when entering the palace. Although I have lost power, after all, I was once the queen's direct descendant, and now I am the most powerful in the palace.
The favored Concubine Xiao Guifei, the mother-in-law of the fourth brother, has been favored by her father for the past 10 years, but she has never corrected her. She has always regarded the king as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. He wants to kill him and then hurry up.
I am afraid that my current position in the palace cannot protect you."
Lingfei took a deep breath and said obediently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Lingfei will be careful in everything and promise not to cause trouble to Your Majesty."
Situ Chen stroked her long hair and said with a smile: "That's so good. Princess, please rest early. I'm going to Moyuan."
"My lord, please go slowly." Lingfei stood up to see off the guests.
Situ Chen couldn't help but glance at her. Meeting such a generous princess, he didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
Seeing Situ Chen leave, Lingfei sighed quietly, but couldn't help but wonder what Queen Wang had done to bring such trouble to Situ Chen.
At dawn the next day, Lingfei was picked up by Huandong to dress up. They spent a whole hour doing this. Every inch of skin exposed to the air was smeared with powder, and the jewelry on her hair weighed her down almost
Can't hold my head up
She had to use the internal energy taught by Heiying and circulate her true energy twice in her body before she felt less dizzy. She wondered how those women with no strength in their hands could deal with these gold and jewelry.
of
The palace was majestic, but Lingfei had seen it on TV a lot in the past, and was not surprised at all. When passing by a large lake, Situ Chen asked her to wait in the imperial garden while he went to the nearby Imperial Hospital to get some medicinal materials.
Lingfei was so happy to be in a daze among the flowers. After all, he was about to break into the dragon's pond and tiger's den. He had to enjoy the beautiful scenery while he still had his life.
She picked off the evergreen vines, made a garland of flowers, picked a few delicate flowers, pinned them on the corolla, and smiled softly.
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the front: "Who is so bold as to pick the flowers in the imperial garden!"
