Chapter 229 There is no regret medicine in the world
"Which veil?" Xiangyao asked. She seemed to remember that the lady was going out and she went to get the shawl. Why did she mention the veil again?
"It's the torn piece." Lin Keer explained impatiently.
"Oh." Xiangyao finally understood, ran to the basket where the sundries were thrown, and rummaged through it. Fortunately, the things in the basket had not been thrown away yet. After Xiangyao turned it over, he found the item from the bottom.
Two fragments of handkerchief.
"That's it." Lin Ke'er took the handkerchief, smiled with satisfaction, and told Xiang Yu, "Go and sew them up."
"Huh?" Xiangyao was stunned. When did the young lady treat two pieces of rotten handkerchiefs as treasures?
"Go if you are told. Hurry up and sew it up for me." Lin Ke'er couldn't help but see Xiang Yu dawdling away.
"Yes, slave girl, go right away." Xiangyao hurriedly found a needle and thread.
Lin Ke'er sat aside, giving up the idea of leaving the house and only thinking about Lin Xiner and Ximen Jingxuan.
Lin Xiner accompanied Mrs. Zhiqi back to Prince Xuan's Mansion. When she was sending Zhiqi to the backyard, she passed by Tingyuxuan and looked up. She planned to find Lin Ke'er when she returned, but Mrs. Zhiqi stopped her.
Lin Xiner is about to leave.
"Moon-watching girl."
There was no one around, so Mrs. Zhiqi called out her name.
"You have something to tell me?" Lin Xiner stopped about to leave, turned around and asked.
"Isn't it good to be alone and safe? Why did you come to the palace?" Mrs. Zhiqi looked at Lin Xiner, seeming to be asking her but also talking to herself, "The palace is full of dangers, or fatalities.
Lose your life in the hands of the prince, or lose your life in the hands of someone related to the prince..."
Lin Xiner knew that she was referring to Shui Qing and herself.
"Of course, Miss Wangyue is not an ordinary person, but the more extraordinary she is, the greater the danger she faces, isn't it?" Mrs. Zhiqi asked, "Why are we doing this?"
"What did you do?" Lin Xiner heard something strange in Mrs. Zhiqi's words.
"I..." Mrs. Zhiqi paused slightly.
What is she talking about? Do you want to tell Mochizuki that she has contact with people outside?
If she was going to be a whistleblower, why did she have to tell her now that she was on the boat? What’s more, she didn’t dare to tell the truth at all. She was just a thread in the huge sea, so how could she get away?
Lin Xiner turned around and approached Zhiqi. The way she hesitated to speak meant that she had something unspeakable to say.
Today's experience really made her almost collapse, and she was on the verge of death. She didn't want to bury some things in her stomach.
Zhiqi took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and tried to calm down as soon as possible. She was still alive, and there were some things she couldn't get rid of, so...she couldn't say anything!
However, Lin Xiner was standing in front of her, and she almost let something slip. If she didn't say something to her, she probably wouldn't be able to hide it, and it would make her suspicious.
"I'm telling you." Zhiqi seemed to have made a lot of determination. He opened his eyes and said to Lin Xiner, "Actually, that night in the palace, I knew that Yan'er was poisoned by sweetgrass, so I
He showed up in time and used acupuncture and bloodletting to relieve her abdominal pain without asking anyone to get medicine."
"As expected, you know." Lin Xin'er was not surprised by Zhi Qi's words, "The person who bit his tongue and committed suicide is with you?"
"We can't be considered accomplices." Zhiqi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Because we didn't do anything together at all. In fact, he drugged me just for me. He refused to tell me what happened to me, but now I have told him personally.
You. Again, after what happened today, I am really scared. I am very afraid of death. If I have a choice, I would rather not enter the palace again."
Lin Xiner listened to Zhi Qi's words quietly without interrupting. She knew that Zhi Qi would definitely continue talking.
"Back then, for a few taels of silver per month, I entered the palace and became the queen's maid. From then on, I couldn't control my own life. With a decree, the queen gave me to Prince Xuan. In addition to knowing
Apart from having to obey the order, I don’t know what else I can do when I get to Prince Xuan’s Mansion, and I have to hide everything I love. I know my origin, and I am just a little maid, so I never dare to ask for the prince’s favor.
, I just want to live peacefully, but this is simply impossible."
"I didn't expect that my former childhood sweetheart would work as a guard at Prince Xuan's Mansion for me. For my sake, he actually wanted to murder Princess Xuan and Mrs. Mei. He once took the opportunity to patrol the Prince's Mansion as a bodyguard and secretly told me when he saw me.
Since he can't be with me, he will also be happy if he sees me get the position that a woman dreams of. I tried to stop him, but he didn't listen to me at all."
"As a result, he died because of this. In order to keep his and my secrets, he actually committed suicide under the prince's forced interrogation. At the entrance of the palace, the guard who paused for me for a moment was the cousin of the dead man.
He must hate me very much now, wishing that I died today. I am just a maid, I cannot bear the crime of harming a man!" Mrs. Zhiqi said, and shed tears again. I don't know if she felt that she was wronged, or because of that stupid person
The man is sad.
"Is that so?" Lin Xiner murmured.
She originally thought there would be a conspiracy, but she didn't expect it to be so simple. It was just a story about an infatuated man who followed the footsteps of the one he loved and ended up dying. The man wanted to poison Princess Xuan, and the one he wanted to frame was Princess Xuan.
Mrs. Mei, after these two are removed, Mrs. Zhiqi is really the only woman left in Prince Xuan's mansion.
It sounds like this story is quite complete.
"Actually, now that I think about it, if I had not entered the palace and found someone to marry normally, I wouldn't have been in this situation and put myself in a dangerous situation." Mrs. Zhiqi wiped away her tears and sighed.
"There is no regret medicine in the world. Likewise, I will not regret stepping into Prince Xuan's Mansion. Everyone moves forward." Lin Xiner said.
She spoke very calmly, speaking to Zhiqi as well as herself.
After Lin Xiner left, Zhiqi let out a long sigh.
The danger occurred after she handed over the dagger. She didn't know whether it was a coincidence or... the arrangement of the third prince. Did he really take her as a hostage and face the danger of a tragic death?
She was just a chess piece that had been placed for a long time and started to be used. Only then did her danger really begin to come... Only then did she really feel afraid.
However, she had no way out. Once she entered the palace, there was no way out for every step she took.
Ximen Jingxuan is back. He already knows what happened to Mrs. Zhiqi, but what happened in the palace is much more important than Mrs. Zhiqi, so he has been unable to leave the palace for a long time.
Lin Xiner left Mrs. Zhiqi's yard. After hearing that Ximen Jingxuan was back, she gave up the idea of looking for Lin Keer and went directly to the study.
Her intuition told her that something must have happened in the palace, and because she cared about Ximen Jingxuan, she wanted to know the truth as soon as possible.
"What do you think about the one-eyed man?" Seeing Lin Xiner, Ximen Jingxuan first asked her about Zhiqi being kidnapped.
The one-eyed man was rescued by a dark force. If he suddenly appears again, could it have nothing to do with that dark force?
"I don't understand either." Lin Xiner shook her head. With this move, she really didn't know what the person hiding in the dark was planning.
However, one thing she could think of was that maybe the person in the secret might have guessed her true identity from what the one-eyed man had. She didn't know how much disadvantage it would bring to her if this was true.
