Chapter 122 Xiao Concubine Cheng Cheng's Sleepless Night
The most incomprehensible thing about Ling Yuechan's position is that she really doesn't have much merit except for her good appearance. What's more, she has been in the palace for a while, and the emperor has not seen her for the first time. Why didn't he move before, but now he suddenly gives her a place? What's also strange is that Ling Yuechan's title "Xiao" is an honor that no one else has. This is enough to be eye-catching. The key is that this title seems to have nothing to do with her.
Originally, many people thought that Ling Yuechan was helped up by Ling Xiao in order to favor herself, but after seeing the new "Xiao" little master, new rumors came out.
Ling Yuechan was slapped hard by Ling Xiao the night before. The red mark on her face did not fade the next day, and she could even see that it was a palm print. Someone also learned that she was going to leave the palace in the morning. If she hadn't been met by the emperor on the road, she might not have known where she was by now.
This is very worth thinking about. There is a red mark on the face that is slapped, and the clothes are simple. Many people think of Ling Xiao. She is the emperor's favorite concubine, and Ling Yuechan is her sister. How many people in the palace dare to move easily? The emperor is impossible, and the queen has always been kind. Others, such as noble concubines and medicine concubines, have been calm recently.
So, everyone wait and see whether the sisters support each other or kill each other. Of course, for them, the latter is the best. Everyone knows the reason that the quail and the clam compete with each other and the fisherman get the profit.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night for people in the palace. Xiao is a newcomer, and naturally she will be favored.
The father-in-law of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has come to Ningxiao Hall to send a decree that she is ready to prepare. After dinner, Fengluan Chunen will come to pick her up. At that time, the people of the six palaces seemed to hear the sound of the car carrying all the glory and love of the woman.
In the envy and jealousy of countless people, Ling Yuechan came to Cheng'en Hall with endless expectation and joy.
Sitting in the Cheng'en Hall, looking at everything around her, she remembered the feeling of being welcomed like the stars and the moon today. Ling Yuechan felt as if she was dreaming. Originally, she entered the palace for this purpose. When she was at home, she heard that Ling Xiao was rising step by step in the palace. She felt that her chest was about to vomit blood, and she vowed to take back the glory that belonged to her.
But after entering the palace, although she came after full preparation, my mother also taught her a lot, and even used Shen Murou's trump card. She came with confidence and was bound to get it, but it was casually cracked by Ling Xiao. It was not easy to get on the line with the medicine concubine, but it was still on the undefeat. Not to mention other things. In a word, it is completely contrary to her expectations.
Even this morning, she has stepped out of the palace. Seeing that all the glory, wealth and dazzling power in her dreams seem to be far away, and it has nothing to do with her anymore. However, at this critical moment, she can still turn defeat into victory. Isn't this God's will?
Last night, after Ling Yuechan was driven back to her room by Ling Xiao, she lost her temper and regretted. She thought that she would be kicked out of the palace the next day and was threatened. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't stand it. She didn't sleep in the middle of the night. As a result, just as she was restless, the mysterious man seemed to appear again last time.
It was still a small note shot in with a dart, telling her that the next morning, Maoshi tried to find a way to go to the bluestone road in front of Chongde Palace, which was the only way for the emperor to go to court. There is nothing else left. That's all the man hinted. The rest depends on Ling Yuechan's own creation. Unexpectedly, I didn't know whether she really had some chance, or whether God wanted to create some tests between Ling Xiao and Feng Yuqi. She really followed Feng Yuqi on the road.
In the morning, Erlan did watch her take her maidservant out of the palace door, but as soon as Erlan left, she found an excuse to go back. Although the guard was hesitant, after all, she was Ling Jieyu's mother's sister, and he just looked at the door, and there would be no problem. Since the other party said that she had left something in the palace, it was okay to let her go back.
After, things became logical. Ling Yuechan returned to the palace, and according to the contents of the note left by the mysterious man, she turned around a few times and finally found the way. Although her dress was a little shabby at that time, on the one hand, there were few people in the morning, and on the other hand, there were still many people who knew Ling Yuechan, so no one cares about her.
As for the shell necklace, it's really an accident. It was not mentioned on the note left by the mysterious man. She always thought that the plain silver Lingxiao flower necklace was the token of Lingxiao and Fengyu. Unexpectedly, it would be this!
Last night, after Ling Yuechan received the note, she was very excited and worried about whether this last attempt would succeed. She couldn't sleep. At this moment, Zhu Lian heard that Ling Xiao was taken to the Cheng'en Hall by the emperor in the middle of the night, and there was no one guarding her at the door! Ling Yuechan was immediately moved. She still wanted to steal the Lingxiao flower chain back. Only in this way could she add chips to her encounter with the emperor.
Therefore, Ling Yuechan, regardless of the pain in her cheeks, sneaked into Ling Xiao's dormitory again, but before she began to look for it, she heard Zhu Lian's hint outside - someone came. Although Ling Yuechan was very unwilling, she still planned to leave immediately, but when she left, she suddenly found a chain on the edge of the makeup box. She didn't think much about it. Anyway, she took it in her arms and left.
After Ling Xiao took it out, she suddenly heard that Feng Yuqi had sent someone to summon her. At that time, she was very confused and was eager to forget that she didn't put it away. Unexpectedly, it was stolen by Ling Yuechan.
She didn't steal the silver Lingxiao flower necklace. Ling Yuechan was originally very worried that even if she met Feng Yuqi on the roadside, but if she didn't even look at her, what's the use of her trying so hard? As a result, maybe it was really God's blessing, or to make up for her for missing a good opportunity to enter the palace before - the shell necklace in her arms accidentally fell out, and it was crooked to make the emperor mistakenly think that she was "xiaoer"!
Originally, Ling Yuechan thought that Ling Xiao might not be the "xiaoer" in the emperor's mouth. Otherwise, why didn't she tell the emperor? How could the emperor not know and was still looking for it? However, since the shell necklace stolen from Ling Xiao is a token, Ling Xiao must be the person the emperor is looking for.
Although she still doesn't understand why Ling Xiao wants to hide it from this, she is not curious. Anyway, it's a good thing for her, and she can fake it. And after all, they are sisters, and they are still a little similar. As for the details of the past, it is said that it has been a long time and because she had a serious illness, so I forgot that even if the emperor sent someone to investigate, she was indeed very sick.
As for the name of "Xiaoer", she has already said to the emperor that her nickname is "Xiaoer", but it is not the "Xiao" of "Lingxiao", but the "Xiao Xiangfeizi". The emperor didn't ask much, and he believed it without thinking about it! Even if she asks about the reasons and details in the future, she has already figured out how to deal with it.
In a word, for everything in the future, Ling Yuechan feels complacent, and there is a broad road in front of her, full of light. He was not lucky, but he was awarded the title of "concubine" and even given the title. When looking at the harem, how many women can be honored?
It's just... Ling Yuechan thought about it for a long time before she suddenly found, "Well, why didn't the emperor come?" Thinking of the eager eyes when he sent himself back to Qiluan Hall in the morning, the deep eyes when he gave her the title, the deep eyes and the tender face when he looked at her, I felt hot when I thought of it.
Ling Yuechan comforted herself. Maybe it was delayed because of national events. Wasn't it already time when she called Lingxiao yesterday? Thinking of this, she felt a little more at ease, but as time went by, the uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger. However, she did not dare to ask the palace people at the door, worried about whether the emperor would deliberately test her, and worried that a momentary act of rashness would destroy the hard-won glory.
However, she waited all night, as if to see through the curtain at the door, and did not see the arrival of the emperor.
She didn't know that Feng Yuqi had been here a moment ago. They had already walked to the door. Before the gatekeeper could pass the message, suddenly a palace man from Qiluantang came to report that he said that Ling Xiao was ill.
He paused when he was about to step into the threshold of Cheng'en Hall. He only hesitated for a moment. He looked inside and said to Liu Quan, "Go to Qiluan Hall."
When he saw Feng Yuqi's figure appear in front of him, Ling Xiao thought that he was seriously ill and had hallucinations. Looking at Feng Yuqi, he only smiled bitterly. His eyes were blank and his face was pale. He didn't seem to have any vitality. He said weakly, "It's really stupid. Isn't he in Ningxiao Hall now? Ha ha." With that, he struggled to turn over and face the inside of the bed, leaving only a thin and desolate back for the man next to the bed.
At that moment, Feng Yuqi felt a fierce pain in his heart. He sat by the bed, turned Ling Xiao around gently, and held her head in his arms. He just came in from the outside. After all, he was more exposed, and even his hands were a little cold. However, as soon as he touched Ling Xiao's face, he was almost burned by the temperature.
"How could you suddenly get sick like this?" Feng Yuqi was a little angry, but he still lowered his voice and asked Qingwu and others, "Isn't it okay in the morning?"
Qingwu felt unhungry for Ling Xiao, and he was also wronged. How did he get better in the morning? However, of course, she didn't dare to show it. She just lowered her head and replied sadly, "The little master didn't have dinner. He soaked in the water for a long time, and he didn't let the maidservant heat the water. After getting up, it blew cold again. It was only two hours later, and it was like this."
"Have you ever asked a doctor?" Feng Yuqi hugged his arms tighter.
"Please, but the little master insisted on refusing to drink the medicine. Later, he fell into a coma and the potion could not be poured in at all, so the maidservants really had no choice but to invite the emperor." Qingwu kowtowed his head, and there was a faint cry in his voice.
