Marry the Crown Princess

Chapter 73 Meet the Jade Noble Concubine

In the Qiyun courtyard, Xie Zhiruo sat quietly in the room in the main hall, bowing her head and writing something seriously.

"Miss, it's very cold now. You'd better go back to the house. Yuexi lit a charcoal brazier in the room."

"Yewell, it doesn't matter. If it's too warm and comfortable, it's easy for people to get sleepy. It's good here." Xie Zhiruo looked up and looked at Yue Xi with a smile. She just wants to learn more. This drought in the north of the town makes her feel that it is the absolute truth that people really need to learn more. Maybe this will come in handy sometime!

What's more, she also wants to think of Mu Yunting and what happened last night. Although many people say that she is a shameless woman, she doesn't regret giving her body to Mu Yunting. After all, she is her own 'Ye Yan', even if he wants his own life. She will also give it to him.

"Does Xie Zhiruo live here?" A strange voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

"Let's go and see who it is." Soon Yuexi ran out, opened the door of the courtyard, and saw a strange maid of honor standing outside the door.

"Is this the yard where Xie Zhiruo lives?" Seeing Yuexi coming out, someone asked again.

"Yes, yes, are you?"

"Let her come out. Concubine Yu wants to see her." The maid didn't pay attention to Yuexi, but asked her to call Xie Zhiruo out impatiently.

"Yu Guifei?"

"Moon past, what's the matter? Are you looking for me?" Xie Zhiruo heard the voice of the coming person and came out.

"Are you Xie Zhiruo?" Seeing Xie Zhiruo coming out, the maid looked at her up and down, which was quite disdainful.

Xie Zhiruo didn't care about the maid's gaze, and still said faintly on her face, "I am."

"Come with me, the Jade Princess wants to see you."

"Yu Guifei? Does she want to see me? She doesn't remember that she knows Yu Guifei, and she has only faintly heard of it. Why does this irrelevant person want to see her?

"Let you follow, where did so much nonsense come from?" After saying that, the maid of honor walked out first and motioned Xie Zhiruo to follow up.

If Xie Zhi knew that if she didn't follow, she might involve innocent people, so she didn't think too much and followed.

"Miss..."

"It doesn't matter. It's just that Yu Guifei wants to see me. It's okay." After saying that, she showed a smile that reassured Yuexi.

Zhaoyang Palace is a certain distance away from the Jade Noble Concubine's palace. Xie Zhiruo will be pointed out on this way. Some will say some very unpleasant words, but Xie Zhiruo seems to have not seen or heard it.

There are many things in the world that need not be explained, because even if you explain, there will be many people who can't understand you, because they are not you, so they will never know how you feel.

Xie Zhiruo came to the palace of the Jade Noble Concubine in the guidance and scolding of the palace people.

"Your concubine, you have brought it."

The teacup in the direction of the Jade Noble Concubine slowly raised her head and said faintly, "Let her in."

"Yes."

Xie Zhiruo lowered her head and walked into the room. Because of the charcoal fire, the temperature of the room was much higher than that outside, which was very warm and pleasant.

"See the noble concubine." Good luck, good luck.

"Are you Xie Zhiruo?" Yu Guifei looked carefully at Xie Zhiruo, who was standing not far away, with a lazy question and answer in her voice.

"Yes."

"Look up and let me see what kind of beauty she is. She can fascinate the prince so much that she doesn't even want to go to the new house on the day of marriage."

Hearing this, Xie Zhiruo was shocked. Previously, she heard Yuexi say that she married Mu Yunting yesterday because there was a noble concubine in the palace to support her. Is that empress the jade noble concubine in front of her?

Although she was unwilling, Xie Zhiruo slowly raised her head.

When he looked up, he saw Jia Baozhu standing beside the Jade Concubine.

"No wonder it will make His Royal Highness be so happy that he looks like a person."

Jia Baozhu has been staring at her fiercely since Xie Zhiruo came in, as if he couldn't wait to go up and tear her up.

"Huh! It's just that she has such a three-point appearance. Is my wife worse than you? It's really shameless!" Jia Baozhu couldn't help scolding.

"Do you know that His Royal Highness accepted my concubine's niece yesterday?"

"If you don't know."

"I don't know? You don't know how to tell lies! Everyone in the imperial city knows that you actually said you didn't know!" Jia Baozhu thought that Xie Zhi would not pay attention to her if he relied on Mu Yunting, and his anger rushed up in an instant. With a snap of three or two steps, he slapped Xie Zhiruo in the face.

"Ah..." Xie Zhiruo was still very uncomfortable because of what happened last night. Now she can't stand Jia Baozhu's powerful slap. In an instant, her whole body fell to the mahogany table beside her.

"Well, the prince is not here now. Even if you pretend to be pitiful, no one will sympathize with you!" Jia Baozhu stepped forward again and stepped on Xie Zhiruo's body, and crushed it hard.

Xie Zhiruo endured the pain on her body and did not hum. Tears kept spinning in her eyes but stubbornly refused to fall down.

"Oc's it. Don't forget that you are the prince's concubine now. Pay attention to your words and deeds!" Seeing Jia Baozhu's jade noble concubine scolded, but there was no scolding in her words. She just didn't want Xie Zhiruo to have a wound on her body when she walked out of here. Didn't she want to talk about her when others saw it?

Hearing this, Jia Baozhu walked back to Yu Guifei's side angrily.

"Get up and pour me a cup of tea." Yu Guifei said to Xie Zhiruo, who fell to the ground.

If Xie Zhi knows that she can't disobey the orders of the Jade Noble Concubine, otherwise she doesn't know what punishment is waiting for her.

After enduring the pain on her body, Xie Zhiruo slowly stood up, took the cup on the table and poured the tea. She walked to the Jade Concubine and offered the tea with both hands.

There was a faint sneer at the corners of Yu Guifei's mouth. She slowly grabbed the teacup in Xie Zhiruo's hand. Xie Zhiruo naturally let go of her hand when she saw Yu Guifei taking over the tea cup. But at this time, the Jade Noble Concubine suddenly let go of her hand, and the teacup fell to the ground with a bang and broke apart.

"You deliberately want to burn my aunt with hot tea, don't you? You are such a vicious woman! Come on! Come on!" Jia Baozhu quickly pushed Xie Zhiruo aside and shouted.

Soon, the palace people guarding outside the door rushed in one after another.

"What's wrong with the Jade Noble Concubine?"

"Bear out this woman who wants to harm the Jade Noble Concubine and beat her to death!"

At this time, everyone looked at Xie Zhiruo, who was standing aside, and grabbed her and pulled her out.

Xie Zhiruo just now was waiting for Yu Guifei to hold the teacup tightly before letting go. Yu Guifei wanted to find an excuse to punish herself. No matter what she did, she could not escape the fate of being punished, so she was not struggling. But when she heard Jia Baozhu say that she was going to be killed with a stick, Xie Zhiruo was still surprised. Is there really a deep hatred between them that the other party was going to die? Or do they not take human life seriously at all?

"Hence." The Jade Noble Concubine stopped the palace people at the right time.

"It's okay to beat her to death with a random stick. Let her kneel in the yard outside until I feel satisfied."

"Yes." After saying that, the palace people took Xie Zhiruo out. Xie Zhiruo did not have any resistance, because she knew that even resistance was useless. Now it was good to just let her kneel.

"Auntie, why do you only let her kneel? Isn't this a good opportunity to punish her?" Jia Baozhu didn't understand why she didn't kill Xie Zhiruo directly, which was so convenient.

"What a stupid girl. The prince spoiled her last night, and we killed her today. What will the prince think?"

"Mu Yunting will be us sooner or later..."

"Shut up!" Yu Guifei scolded Jia Baozhu severely before she finished her words. It's really unobtrused! Don't look where this is. This is a palace that can be seen by others everywhere!

Jia Baozhu also realized that he was fast-mouthed just now, and obediently closed his mouth and dared not say more.

The courtyard where the Jade Noble Concubine asked Xie Zhiruo to kneel is the yard that palace people often pass by in the palace. As long as the palace people come and go here, they can see Xie Zhiruo kneeling there.

Because it was early winter, the climate outside the house was very cold, and the floor in the yard was even colder. Today, because she came out in a hurry, Xie Zhiruo didn't wear many clothes on her body. She trembled in the cold wind and looked so pitiful.

"Who is that man? How can you kneel in that place?" The good people gathered together in a pile and whispered.

"I heard that it was the woman who was with His Royal Highness last night. When she saw Yu Guifei today, she was still disrespectful to Yu Guifei, so she was allowed to kneel here!"

"What? So it's the shameless woman who seduced His Royal Highness?

"You really deserve it! How dare you be disrespectful to the Jade Noble Concubine! I really don't know what to do!"

"Yes, yes, okay, don't look at it or work."

After watching the lively palace people scattered and did their own work.

"See the fourth prince." Before everyone dispersed, Mu Yunchen noticed that there was something strange here, so he came over here. Mu Yunchen, dressed in a light blue gown, quickly attracted the eyes of many maids, and the light blue could set off the indifferent and warm temperament of Mu Yunchen.

"Why are you gathered here?" Mu Yunchen asked with a faint smile on his face.

When asked this question, a group of palace people hesitated and couldn't speak. This is their time on duty. It's wrong to get together. Who dares to come out and talk about the reason for this gathering?

"What? Don't you know?"

"No, it's not the fourth prince. We, we also felt that it was a little strange to look at the man kneeling in front of us and just took a look at it..." This was really a bold person to say. I think it was also because Mu Yunchen's face was always smiling, and he was very kind that he dared to say it.

"Oh? OK, you can do whatever you need to do. Mu Yunchen's curiosity was picked up, and he wanted to know who and what could bring these people together. Thinking of this, he unconsciously went in the direction of Xie Zhiruo.

At this time, Xie Zhiruo had been kneeling in the yard for more than an hour, and she couldn't help shaking for a long time.

Mu Yunchen, who was far away, saw Xie Zhiruo kneeling in the yard and couldn't help laughing. What did he think? It turned out to be a maid who was punished to kneel in the yard, but when she looked closely, she found that the person on the kneeling didn't seem to be wearing a maid's uniform.

This yard is the closest to the jade noble concubine's yard. Is this woman the jade noble concubine who let her kneel in this place? Thinking of this, Mu Yunchen was even more curious. This jade noble concubine usually did not act so flamboyantly. How could she make people kneel in this conspicuous place today?

Gradually approaching and looking at Xie Zhiruo's side face, Mu Yunchen felt a very familiar feeling, as if he had seen this face somewhere, but it may have been too long, and he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"What did you do? Were you punished to kneel down by the Jade Noble Concubine?" Step forward, Mu Yunchen asked softly.

At this time, Xie Zhiruo only felt that her body was stiff. Even if she raised her head, she felt a little difficult, so when she heard Mu Yunchen's voice, she did not look up, but said in a trembling voice, "I accidentally spilled the tea brought to Yu Guifei."

As soon as he heard Xie Zhiruo's voice, Mu Yunchen felt that she was more familiar with her and frowned doubtfully. Where did he see this?

"Raise your head and let the hall have a look."

Xie Zhiruo actually has a feeling of familiarity when listening to Mu Yunchen's voice, but in today's situation, her brain is really not working well, so she doesn't think much about it. She raised her already stiff neck with some difficulty.

"What's your name?" Seeing Xie Zhiruo's face, Mu Yunchen was sure that he must have seen her!

"Xie Zhiruo..."

"Xie Zhiruo, Xie Zhiruo... Are you the one who prepared the medicine to treat the plague?"

This matter was only known by Mu Yunting mentioned to him a few days ago, because many people thought that the medicine for the plague was prepared by the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital. I think it's to protect the reputation of the imperial doctors in those hospitals.

"Yes, yes." Xie Zhiruo didn't know why Mu Yunchen suddenly mentioned this matter, but he still subconsciously responded.

Before, his mother's concubine was also accidentally infected with the plague. He thought it would be more auspicious, but he didn't expect that later Mu Yunting sent the medicine that could cure the plague back to the imperial city. At first, he couldn't believe it was true, but some people who had the plague were really cured after taking the medicine. Then he believed it. The medicine could really cure the plague. Then he immediately asked someone to give the medicine to his mother's concubine, and the plague gradually recovered.

After Mu Yunting and others came back, the emperor Mu Zhilie rewarded those imperial doctors, and everyone thought that they developed the medicine, but he didn't expect that when he was chatting with Mu Yunting a few days ago, he accidentally knew that the person who really developed the drug was a woman named Xie Zhiruo, which really surprised him. A handful. In this way, Xie Zhiruo still saved her mother's benefactor and also his benefactor.

Looking at it again, I found that Xie Zhiruo's lips had been frozen purple, and her whole body was trembling in the cold wind.

"Come on, help her up." Mu Yunchen ordered the palace people who were following him.

The palace man came forward to help Xie Zhiruo up. Her legs had been numb because she had been kneeling for too long, and there was no way to walk normally at all. She could only rely on the two maids of honor and hold the weight of her body to the person who supported her.

Xie Zhiruo did not know the real identity of Mu Yunchen, and she was afraid that he would bring him unnecessary trouble by doing so. Thank you, prince. It was the Jade Noble Concubine who asked Zhi Ruo to kneel here. If the Jade Noble Concubine blames her, she will be involved in the prince.

"Don't worry, girl. Since the fourth prince can help you, there will be no trouble." Listening to Xie Zhiruo's words, the maid of honor who held her said kindly.

"The fourth prince..." She couldn't imagine that saving herself was still a prince.

"I'm going to see the Jade Noble Concubine in this hall. You send this girl to my hall first." Mu Yunchen ordered in a gentle voice.

"But, the fourth prince... do this..."

"It's okay, girl, don't worry. I will deal with the next thing." After saying that, Mu Yunchen walked to the courtyard of the Jade Noble Concubine.

Looking at Mu Yunchen's back, a white light suddenly flashed in Xie Zhiruo's mind. She remembered this back! Mu Yunchen was the one who saved her last time she fell off the roof! She hadn't thanked him for the last time, but she didn't expect that the second meeting was saved by him again... After coming here, she found that she owed more and more to others.

Mu Yunchen walked elegantly into the main hall of the Jade Noble Concubine Palace. Not long after she sat down, the Jade Noble Concubine came in with the help of Jia Baozhu.

"Yu Guifei." Mu Yunchen stood up politely and nodded to Yu Guifei.

The Jade Noble Concubine also smiled softly and motioned him not to let him sit down.

Mu Yunchen's eyes seemed to scan Jia Baozhu's face inadvertently, and the bottom of his eyes flashed.

"I don't know what's the matter with the fourth prince coming to me?" Yu Guifei didn't say anything polite to Mu Yunchen, because in her opinion, Mu Yunchen was just a mediocre prince. He would not do anything big, and there was no need to think so much.

Mu Yunchen did not feel angry in the face of Yu Guifei's attitude. He always told her about Xie Zhiruo with a soft smile.

"Oh? Why did the fourth prince plead for that man? At this time, she was a little curious. When did Xie Zhiruo hook up with Mu Yunchen and let him come to her in person to plead for her?

Mu Yunchen smiled and said nothing.

When Yu Guifei saw that Xie Zhiruo had been kneeling outside for many hours, she didn't do too much the first time, so she promised to let her go.

Mu Yunchen achieved the purpose of this trip and no longer stayed. After a few polite words, he left.
