There is still a phoenix

Chapter 24 The Mystery of the Nile Flower

I have to say that Lanxin Xiaozhu is a good place to cultivate the mind, and the wind and rain in the capital are blocked outside the gate. Qin Si calmly learns things every day and has his own calmness.

But in the third prince's mansion, only this place is calm. Outside the small building of Lanxin, every inch of air is extremely tense. On this day, Qi Zhongtian came back with a dark face and crushed the tea cup sent by his servants.

"Your Highness..." Yu Linglong smiled softly and came forward to remove the broken porcelain in his hand. Unexpectedly, Qi Zhongtian waved his hand to block her. Yu Ling's smile condensed on her face, and the curvature of the corners of her lips was stiff.

"Your Highness, what happened?" Yu Linglong waved her hand, and the big peony on her sleeves opened and closed, sending away the maidservants beside her.

Qi Zhongtian's palm loosened a little and tightened again, and the bright red blood showed a little trace from his fingers, making the snow-white broken porcelain more and more white.

"The prince has worked hard. Today, on the grounds that I left Beijing without permission, I complained to my father and almost said. Qi Zhongtian said that there seemed to be no emotion, but the prominent bone joint showed the resentment.

Qin Si's silence has made him feel bored, and the prince's side is even worse. He reported the matter of leaving Beijing to the emperor as a handle. In the court, several people's words almost provoked him to the charge of supporting soldiers.

"Departing from Beijing privately? This is not a small crime. However, His Royal Highness's visit to Suzhou is really ill-considered. Now that the emperor's body is getting worse and worse, and the prince is staring at him, which is the critical time. How can Your Highness show his flaws..." Yu Linglong's words were a little anxiously blamed.

Although the palace did not report the emperor's body, the emperor's bones were getting thinner and thinner, and people with clear eyes knew that it was not much time. Qi Zhongjing, with the name of the prince, can turn defeat into victory at any time.

"And those two unidentified women, Your Highness, brought them back rashly, and they may cause some trouble..."

"Enough, I have my own moderation in this matter." Qi Zhongtian stabilized his internal breath and brushed his sleeves and left.

Yu Linglong sat down paraly, with a self-deprecating smile on her pink cheeks. She wants to help him do something, but he doesn't appreciate it. With a gloomy face, the backlog of dissatisfaction in recent days has become stronger and stronger.

Since Qi Zhongtian brought back the two women, his attitude towards her has been much colder. The self-deprecation in his eyes melted like snowflakes, and the remaining light flashed away.

"Come on." Yu Linglong said in a warm voice.

"Mother."

"Your Highness hasn't been to Lanxin Xiaozhu for a few days?"

The maidservant calculated briefly: "Go back to the Empress, the prince hasn't been there for five days."

Five days is not too short. Since he doesn't go, his own princess will go to "favor and spoil" them for him.

"Okay, go and tell the chef to prepare some good food. I'll send it in person." Yu Linglong cleared her throat, and the soft throat came out, but she couldn't help making the maidservant tremble.

The maid bent down and saluted, and her trembling temples fell down, blocking her white lips. When she turned around and went out, Yu Linglong stopped her again.

"Hold on, you don't have to tell the third person about this. In addition, you can go to my room and get some Nile flowers. Yu Linglong lowered her eyes and leaned back, looking lazy.

The maidservant retreated according to her words, but she couldn't help but thought about what Yu Linglong wanted Nile to do.

Speaking of this Nile flower, it's not small. This flower only grows on the border of southern China, and the whole dynasty may not be able to find much. The fragrance of this flower is extremely light, but the petals of this flower are an excellent tonic.

I didn't dare to think too much. The maidservant snapped Yu Linglong's order to prepare things and followed her to Lanxin.

Pushing the door into the yard, Yu Linglong saw two black and white figures standing by the pond, both of them holding a few stones in their hands. She smiled contemptuously, which was really a rude local woman.

It's just that the body is concave and convex. Looking at the face, one is a little cold and arrogant, but beautiful, the other is veiled, and a pair of eyes are charming and seductive. Humph, no wonder you are fascinated by Qi Zhongtian.

Yu Linglong did not take her step. When she stepped into the small building of Lanxin, Qin Si knew it. She still stood on her back, and the smooth stones in her hand moved around her fingers.

"The two girls are really elegant. These stones are not ordinary. They all took a lot of effort to find them from all over the world." Yu Linglong said something wrong, but in fact, she wanted to satirize it.

"In that case, let's return it to the original owner." Qin Si threw it casually, and the stone hit out, hitting Yu Linglong's wrist.

"Ah..."

"Bang!"

As the stones fell, there were several broken jade bracelets, which fell almost at the same time.

"You... are presumptuous." Yu Linglong's nature is ready to burn, and she can still stand it in front of people, but today she is obviously looking for trouble, so there is no need.

Yu Linglong's eyes were full of anger, and the afterglow glanced at it, only to remember that there was still a "baby" in the hand of the maidservant behind her. She looked at the broken jade on the ground lightly and shouted at the maidservant behind you, "You are not brave. What you have in your hand is hard to find. Why don't you put it down quickly?"

"Ha ha, the two girls laughed when they saw it. The people in the house were ignorant, which was really neglected." Yu Linglong smiled slightly.

"What did the Empress say? Why did she neglect to say it?" She can save face, and Qin Si can also do it.

Qin Si threw the remaining stones in his hand into the water and splashed Mercury dots. Step by step, Qin Si walked to the stone table and looked at the things on the wooden plate with a smile.

"Is this?"

"Your Highness is very busy these days and doesn't have time to see the girl. Naturally, I have to do my best. This is what I ordered people to cook, and the girl kept it to relieve her mouth. In addition, this is the Nile flower, which is a complement of the upper layer, and this one was given by the emperor. It's excellent for the body to pick out this pollen and take it with water. Yu Linglong reached out and gently pushed away the half-ined Nile petals and exposed the pollen in the middle. The pollen was strange and gray.

Qin Si really hasn't seen this flower, but she has never been interested in new things, so she nod to accept it.

"Hence."

Yueye came to chase after a step, and the coldness made Yu Linglong's heart tremble and was quite panicked.

Moon night with a little unreachable smile: "Is this really good for the body?"

"It's true. If the girl doesn't believe it, I'll show you." Yu Linglong said, carefully picking off a petal of a Nile flower and sending it to her lips.

Yueye was extremely fast. She looked forward and took the petals from Yu Linglong's hand. Before Yu Linglong asked questions, Yueye put it between her lips and teeth.

"Moon night..."

Qin Si's guard against Yu Linglong is not shallow, but he is afraid that the moon night will be fooled.

Moon night chewed the Nile petals with a sharp smile: "Thank you, Madam, but the Empress just said it was pollen."

"This..." Yu Linglong's eyebrows moved slightly: "This girl doesn't know anything. This pollen is the essence of this flower, and it is naturally more prosperous than petals. The petals are eating nothing. Is the girl afraid that the pollen is poisonous?

Yu Linglong smiled. Moonlight had already waved her sleeves and swept the petals of the Nile flower into the palm of her hand, leaving gray pollen standing on the rhizome and trembling.

"This petal tastes good, and I took it for the Lord. As for the rest, the Empress should take it back. Yueye said, and the figure retreated behind Qin Si.

"You... this Nile flower was given by the emperor. I kindly used it to mend your body, you..." Yu Linglong was angry.

Qin Si doesn't know why, but she knows that Yueye will not harm her.

"We both understand the mother's heart. Yueye has a bad nature. I hope you don't blame her." Qin Si stepped forward and stood in front of the moon night, with a clear intention of maintenance.

"Lord, the petals of this Nile flower are indeed a tonic, but pollen can disfigure people. This woman can't keep it." The murderous intention of the moon night burst out, and Yu Linglong took a big step back in a panic and hit the edge of the stone table.

"Ah..."

Yu Linglong was in pain, and her uneasiness and anger were intertwined. Her eyes were fixed straight on Qin Si, as if to burn her out a hole.

She never thought that someone would recognize Nile flowers. Who are they?

"Yu Linglong, are you always so unmotivated? You just want to know who I am. OK, I'll show you."

The familiar voice made Yu Linglong's eyes wide and unbelievable. And the moment Qin Si took off the veil, Yu Linglong's unbelievable turned into a dazzling smile.

"Hehe... It turned out to be you, it turned out to be you. No wonder I feel so familiar with him. No wonder he is so worried about me. No wonder..." Yu Linglong smiled hurtfully and lowered her eyes to cover up the pain. Yu Linglong's eyes were full of flames.

She took a step forward, and the pain in her waist stabbed her bones. Yu Linglong raised her eyebrows and looked into Qin Si's eyes: "Aren't you dead? Why do you still want to come back? Ah? Why did you come back to rob Your Highness from me? Tell me..."

From silent to sad and hoarse, Yu Linglong kept repeating such questions. The pain in her eyes made Qin Si slowly turn her face away, but it was for love.

"I never thought about grabbing anything from you. Qi Zhongtian is your husband, not mine. I just came back to get what I need from him.

This is not a weak explanation. Qin Si just wants to appease Yu Linglong. It was unwise for her to have a conflict with Yu Linglong in the Third Prince's Mansion.

"What do you need?" Yu Linglong's eyebrows beat from time to time, and her eyes looking at Qin Si gradually lost their color, and her legs seemed to be a little wet and spreading.

Qin Si shook his head slightly, and his indifferent look was far away.

"Mother, blood..." Qin Si's words had not yet been spoken, and the maidservant shouted, which was extremely harsh. She looked at the deep red slowly falling under Yu Linglong's feet, and her face was full of horror.

Yu Linglong lowered her head and looked at the blood. Her pupils couldn't help contracting and went straight down...
