Ever since Lu Zhiqing returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion that day and was drugged by Lin Yixiang, the relationship between her and Lin Yixiang has never been able to return to its previous state. After marrying into the backyard of the palace, she could not return home without thinking.
Lin Yixiang often disappears when he returns home. Sometimes, even in the palace, he will never sleep in the same room with Lu Zhiqing at night. The servants in the palace are all very observant. After more than half a month, everyone has almost understood.
What's going on?
Lu Zhiqing lives on tenterhooks every day. Without children, she has no confidence that she can keep her position. Now is the critical moment. She is even afraid that when she wakes up, she will see Lin Yixiang bring another woman back to her.
"Good sister".
Lu Zhiqing endured this suffering alone, unable to see her relatives, and had nowhere to express her grievances. Therefore, when she saw Ye Shengnan appearing in front of her, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and she was on the verge of falling.
Seeing Lu Zhiqing's tearful eyes, Ye Shengnan quickly walked to her side and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Uncle." Lu Zhiqing grabbed Ye Shengnan's sleeve and said with a cry, "I miss my mother."
"Look at your potential!" Upon hearing Lu Zhiqing's words, Ye Shengnan rolled his eyes helplessly. Looking around, Ye Shengnan whispered: "Come on, go into the house, I have something to tell you."
Lu Zhiqing nodded repeatedly, took Ye Shengnan into the room, and drove all the maids except Qianluo out of the door. Lu Zhiqing looked expectantly as Ye Shengnan took out a letter from her arms and gave it to her, but when she saw it
After reading the letter, Lu Zhiqing's mood became even lower.
The letter was written by Ye Lianrong. Apart from some greetings, the rest was just to ask Lu Zhiqing if there was any movement in his stomach. Lu Zhiqing was already upset about this matter, but when Ye Lianrong asked her this question, she felt even more sad.
Lu Zhiqing held the letter tightly and was silent for a long time. With no other way out, she decided to tell Ye Lianrong about this matter. But she also knew what kind of virtue her uncle was in normal times. If he found out, the seventh prince would not let her get pregnant.
If it was a child, Lu Zhiqing thought, then many people would probably know about it soon.
"Qianluo, go and prepare pen and ink for me." Lu Zhiqing called Qianluo who was waiting at the door. He stood up and went over. He wrote a letter to Ye Lianrong with a complicated mood. Lu Zhiqing handed the letter into Ye Shengnan's hand with a solemn expression.
He warned: "Uncle, please deliver the letter to my mother."
"Uncle, don't worry about the work!" Ye Shengnan patted his chest in assurance, said a few words to Lu Zhiqing, and then left. Lu Zhiqing looked at Ye Shengnan's back reluctantly, and after losing sight of it, she sighed heavily.
, returned to the house again.
After letting Qian Luo beat her back for a while, Lu Zhiqing still felt unhappy. "Qian Luo." Lu Zhiqing spoke in a low voice, raised her hand and patted Qian Luo's hand on her shoulder, and asked, "Why are you doing this?
Come to this palace?"
"Back to my master, Qianluo was sold to the palace as a maid since he was a child. He has forgotten many things." Qianluo recalled the past and smiled with relief. She could see that something was wrong with Lu Zhiqing's recent mood, and she could more or less understand it.
Want to understand the reason. After staying in the palace for so many years, she knows many things well. Although Lu Zhiqing is the seventh imperial concubine, her life is not like the life that the seventh imperial concubine should have. Appearance is one aspect.
The reason, on the other hand, is that Lu Zhiqing doesn't know how to please.
"Master." Qianluo walked around to Lu Zhiqing and said hesitantly, "I don't know whether I should say something or not."
"What are you saying? Just say it."
Qianluo has been with Lu Zhiqing for a while, and he has a pretty good feel for this master's temperament. "Master, Qianluo has seen the ups and downs of too many empresses in this palace. But generally he can persevere.
Finally, most of the people who sit in high positions are people who can endure it. Please forgive me for being bold. I just want to remind my master that whether you are favored or not should never be seen by others on your face.
If you show your joy, anger, sorrow, and joy too obviously, someone will one day catch you. The palace is different from the palace. Does the master understand?"
Lu Zhiqing was a little shocked after listening to Qianluo's words, and nodded slowly. "I understand, and I also understand what you said. But, what else can I do?"
"Come on. If the Seventh Prince refuses to accept his concubine, we all still have a chance. Even if there is an additional master in our courtyard, he may not be able to be any higher than you. Master, you are
The Prime Minister’s daughter, think about it, is there anyone in this court who is more powerful than the Prime Minister?”
A light flashed in Lu Zhiqing's mind. Yes, even if the seventh prince didn't take him seriously, he couldn't help but take her father seriously. As long as Lu Yuanzheng was the prime minister, she would be the prime minister's daughter. With that,
No one else can do anything to her!
"You girl, you're quite smart. It seems I didn't pick the wrong person." Lu Zhiqing took Qianluo's hand, "If you have anything to say in the future, just tell me directly. If you serve me well, I will definitely not
I will treat you badly."
"Don't worry, Master, Qianluo will definitely do it."
Ye Shengnan brought the letter back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. After reading the contents of the letter, Ye Lianrong suddenly became furious.
"What's wrong? Show me." Ye Shengnan reached out curiously to get the letter, but Ye Lianrong dodged it.
Lu Zhiqing had already said in the letter that Ye Shengnan should not let Ye Shengnan know about this matter, and Ye Lianrong was even more afraid to show it to him. "It's nothing serious. I just feel that Qing'er's stomach hasn't moved after so many days, so she's a little disappointed."
"Don't tell me, this girl actually cried when she saw me today, saying she missed you! Look at her potential, she is not satisfied with being served in the palace, and she wants to come back to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
After Ye Shengnan finished speaking, he was glared at by Ye Lianrong fiercely. Seeing Ye Lianrong's displeased expression, he closed his mouth and drank tea without saying anything more.
"Brother, that imperial physician named Su Changfei, have you had any contact with him recently?"
"I haven't seen this old man for a long time. Why, are you feeling unwell?"
"Yeah, my waist has been hurting lately. I've seen the doctor, but it doesn't feel better. How about you call him over one day and show me a look?" Ye Lianrong asked perfunctorily.
"Okay, I'll find him for you later. It's getting late, so I'll go back first, otherwise dad will scold me again." Ye Shengnan didn't think too much, nodded, stood up and left. Ye Lianrong was there
After Ye Shengnan left, she read the letter again. Her eyes kept wandering around one section. Ye Lianrong looked at Lu Zhiqing and wrote that Lu Zhiyao had an affair with the Seventh Prince, and what he said to the Seventh Prince caused the Seventh Prince to
After I stopped touching her, the anger in my heart became higher and higher.
Lu Zhiyao, this bitch, goes too far every time! This time he stepped on the noses of their mother and daughter!
The more Ye Lianrong thought about it, the angrier she became. Finally, she couldn't help but kicked the door and walked out of the room, and walked aggressively towards the other courtyard far away from the landing.
Lu Zhiyao was talking to Bai Lixuan who came in a hurry in the room, but before he said a few words, he heard Wan Yue say loudly outside the door: "The second lady is here, are you here to see our lady?"
Before Lu Zhiyao could wait for Ye Lianrong to say anything, she heard the door being kicked open with a bang. She raised her hand and pressed down Bai Lixuan's standing body, shook her head at him, and then turned to look at Ye Lianrong, who was full of anger.
The moment Lu Zhiyao saw Ye Lianrong, she also did a self-examination. She thought about it seriously, had she done anything recently that made her so angry? But after thinking about it, Lu Zhiyao also realized
Couldn't come up with an answer.
"Who is he?" Ye Lianrong saw Bai Lixuan sitting next to Lu Zhiyao at a glance, and sneered. Ye Lianrong sarcastically said: "You are really courageous. You dare to bring a wild man back in broad daylight! You are not in the house without you.
Have you found a servant you can like? Have you started looking outside?"
When Ye Lianrong said this, Lu Zhiyao remembered that she once bribed the servant named Lin Rong in an attempt to ruin her innocence.
Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly, looked at her indifferently, and said: "Er Niang, I know the weather has been a bit hot recently, but your bad temper is really a bit too much. What lies should you tell, and what lies should you tell?"
You shouldn’t even make it up, so how come you’ve lived so long and still can’t tell the difference?”
"You little bitch, don't come and teach me a lesson! Let me ask you, are you gossiping in the ear of the Seventh Prince again?" Ye Lianrong didn't care so much and took two steps forward to stand in front of Lu Zhiyao.
, asked sharply.
After hearing her reminder, Lu Zhiyao remembered something. He said "Ah" thoughtfully, Lu Zhiyao smiled sweetly, and asked with a somewhat innocent look in his eyes: "What are you talking about? What can I do?"
Don’t you understand?”
"Don't try to pretend to be confused. Let me ask you, who is he?" Ye Lianrong pointed at Bai Lixuan again.
"The Eighth Prince's people are here to send me a message." Lu Zhiyao stared at Ye Lianrong, unmoved. "Er Niang, I won't stop you from saying anything you want to say. But if it's appropriate, you should have some evidence to get it."
You just have to come out. Don't you feel tired of falsely accusing me again and again, but I am a little annoyed. You always say that I have an affair with the seventh prince, but you don't even think about the identity of the seventh prince? What if your words spread?
If it comes to his ears, will my sister’s life in the palace be easy in the future? Otherwise, it’s better to go like this. I’ll go find the seventh prince, yes, there’s also my sister. Let’s sit together and talk about this.
What do you think?"
"Lu Zhiyao, don't bully others too much!" Ye Lianrong was no match for Lu Zhiyao's sharp teeth and spoke loudly, word by word.
"Who is going too far? Er Niang, you slandered my innocence in front of the Eighth Prince today. I can't just pretend that nothing happened. What if the Eighth Prince really believes you?
If you want to go to the emperor to break off the engagement, how do you want to explain it to my father? Or do you think it is enough for your sister to marry the seventh prince, and our Prime Minister's Office no longer needs the influence of the eighth prince?"
