In Qiwu Palace, Xiuxin hurriedly walked out and asked, "Where is your empress?"
The maid on the side quickly said, "It's in the Buddhist hall."
Hearing the words, Xiuxin nodded and walked towards the Buddhist hall without stopping. In the Buddhist hall, green smoke curled up, and only the clear sound of wooden fish could be heard. Queen Yuanzhen knelt in front of the Buddhist niche, her eyes closed, and her mouth
Silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.
The sound of footsteps broke the silence of the Buddhist hall. Queen Yuanzhen did not move, still tapping the wooden fish.
"Your Majesty, Princess Huiguo has returned to the palace." Xiuxin's voice was slightly breathy, as if she was in a hurry.
Queen Yuanzhen paused her hand slightly, and the sound of the wooden fish began to sound rhythmically again, "Didn't you say that you went to Prince Jing's Mansion to seek medical treatment? Why did you come back so soon? Come back as soon as you come back."
Xiu Xin said again, "Just now I saw the eunuch from Qingxin Palace going to the palace gate, so I went to take a look. I saw Qin Meng's girl being carried down. I don't know what happened to Qin Meng, and she seemed to be unable to move. I then looked for someone.
I went to inquire with the eunuchs in Qingxin Palace and heard that it was Qin Meng who broke into Prince Jing’s forbidden area in Prince Jing’s Mansion and had his legs broken by Prince Jing.”
The wooden fish made a loud sound, and then there was a long silence. After a while, Queen Yuan Zhen's voice was heard, "What? Qin Meng's leg was broken? By Prince Jing?"
Xiu Xin replied quietly, "Yes, that's what the people in Qing Xin Palace said."
"You bastard!" The mallet was thrown to the ground fiercely. Queen Yuanzhen opened the wooden fish and stood up suddenly, "Go and find out what is going on, Qingxin Palace, Prince Jing's Palace.
Everyone has to ask, how can the chess piece that I spent several years installing disappear in such an inexplicable way?"
Xiuxin quickly responded and hurried out of the Buddhist hall.
Silence returned to the Buddhist hall, and after a long while, Queen Yuanzhen's somewhat suppressed voice came out, "Prince Jing, I have no enmity or enmity against you, but you always ruin my good deeds. If you are not benevolent, don't stop."
It’s my fault for being unrighteous.”
In the Qingxin Hall, the imperial doctors kept coming and going. Yun Shang stood anxiously in the courtyard where the palace maids lived, pacing back and forth. After a long while, he saw the imperial doctor who had gone in and came out. Yun Shang hurriedly greeted him and said, "The imperial doctor came out."
, how is Qinmeng’s leg?”
Hearing this, the imperial doctor shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's useless. The bones have been broken. Wei Chen and other colleagues managed to fix the broken bones with wooden boards. After a few months, the bones can still grow back together."
Yes, but my feet will definitely be lame, and my feet will be very painful when it rains. I can’t walk for too long, and I can’t do too strenuous work.”
Hearing this, Yun Shang sighed quietly, "It's my fault. If I didn't take her to Prince Jing's Mansion, this thing wouldn't have happened. Doctor, please try your best to treat her and reduce her pain as much as possible."
The imperial doctor nodded, "Wei Chen understands."
Yun Shang walked into Qin Meng's house. Qin Meng was lying on the bed, with dried blood on her skirt and quilt. Qin Meng hadn't woken up yet, her brows were furrowed and she seemed to be in great pain.
Yun Shang stood by the bed and watched for a while before returning to the main hall.
That night, there was a noise outside, which woke Yun Shang up. Yun Shang called Qin Yi and asked her to go outside and take a look. When Qin Yi came back, she realized that it was the comatose Qin Meng who woke up.
My leg is broken and I will be limping forever. Now I am making trouble.
Yun Shang yawned, put on a cloak and left the main hall and walked to the backyard where the palace maid lived. There were many people outside the house where Qin Meng lived. Seeing Yun Shang coming, they quickly moved out of the way. Yun Shang
When he walked in, he saw Qin Meng lying on the bed and crying loudly.
Yun Shang hurriedly walked to the bed and sat down. She lowered her head and sighed, "It's because of my incompetence. I can't even ask the emperor to spare you."
Qin Meng didn't answer, she was still crying very miserably.
"You are my maid, and you will always be my maid. Even if you are lame, I will never let you suffer any further injustice." Yun Shang said again, her eyebrows full of love.
After a long time, Qin Meng's crying gradually became quieter. Yun Shang sighed, said a few words of comfort, then stood up and gave a few instructions to the maids outside the door, asking them to take good care of Qin Meng. Yun Shang turned her head
, but saw Qin Meng looking at him, with undisguised hatred in his eyes. When Yun Shang turned around, he lowered his head again.
A mocking smile appeared on Yun Shang's lips, she turned around and walked out of the house.
After such a quarrel, Qin Meng became calm. She didn't cry or make trouble. She drank medicine and ate as she should every day. There seemed to be nothing wrong with her.
A few days later, one morning, as soon as Yun Shang got up, a palace maid hurriedly came to report: "Princess, Qin Meng is missing."
"It's gone?" Yun Shang was stunned, "What's missing? How can a living person say that he just disappears if he doesn't see him? Why don't you look for him quickly?" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of "The Queen has arrived".
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, then quickly opened the curtain and walked out of the inner hall.
"My mother didn't even inform Chang'er later, so it's easy for Chang'er to welcome her." Yun Chang looked towards the entrance of the palace with a smile. When she saw the person following the queen, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
Got up.
"Hey, isn't this Qinmeng? Where have you been? Just now I heard the palace maid came to report that you were missing, but it scared me. I was telling everyone to go out and look for it, but don't let anything happen.
, why are you with your mother?" Yun Shang looked at the pink figure, her face full of surprise.
Qin Meng didn't say anything, but the queen spoke, "I came here to tell you about this palace maid." Queen Yuan Zhen glanced at Yun Shang, walked to the main seat and sat down.
Yun Shang walked to the seat below the queen and sat down and said, "Qinmeng? The queen wants to talk to Chang'er about her affairs?"
Empress Yuanzhen nodded and said, "I was walking on Penglai Island earlier and happened to see this palace maid. She was at the lake on Penglai Island and seemed to want to jump into the lake. I asked someone to stop her.
Only then did I find out that she was the maid next to you. She accidentally broke into the forbidden area in Prince Jing's palace and had her legs broken by Prince Jing. She felt that she had caused trouble for you, and now that her legs and feet are disabled, she will not be able to take care of you in the future.
He became disheartened and wanted to kill himself."
Hearing this, Yun Shang was shocked. She quickly stood up, walked to Qin Meng and took her hand, saying, "Why are you so stupid? I've told you so. No matter what, I won't let you go. I'm so pure."
There will always be a place for you in the palace, so don't worry, but don't have such thoughts again."
A string of tears fell from the corners of Qin Meng's eyes, she shook her head and said, "It's the slave who has brought trouble to the princess. I have no face to see the princess again."
Yun Shang shook her head repeatedly and was about to speak when she heard the Queen's voice, "I think this palace maid is a caring person, but you are also short of people around you. She can't take care of you now, so I will look for you again."
A smart one will be sent to you. This palace maid named Qin Meng, I will stay in Qiwu Palace and raise her first. Although she has inconvenient legs and feet, she can still do other things. There is a big place in this palace.
It's easy to make arrangements. If your legs and feet get better in the future, I will return it to you..." (To be continued)
