Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

The elders of the Chen family told him that Chen Song was a traitor. He stole the Chen family's secret medicine, defected from home, and spent many years hiding incognito to avoid investigation.He is a traitor.

But what about the truth?Not at all.

Before leaving, the old patriarch Qian warned Wan that our Chen family should have our own rules and demeanor. Even if Chen Song did something that was unworthy of the family, we still have to persuade him nicely. If he refuses to come back no matter what, , then just recover the secret medicine, but don’t hurt his life.Chen Yinuo has always believed this, but what about now?Chen Jiahui said that it was just because their tasks were different... He, Chen Yinuo, was in charge of etiquette, while Chen Jiahui was in charge of soldiers.

This suddenly turned his earnest words into a joke, and also made some of the things he firmly believed in the past become a joke.

He shook his head with a wry smile, staggered a step away, called the maids who were standing by with ugly faces to come forward to take care of them, waved his hands, and left.Behind him, Chen Jiahui was still cursing and shouting, "Chen Yinuo, you are the same! Don't think that by climbing up to the Prince of the East Palace, you can break away from the Chen family. You are still just a dog of my Chen family!"

The departing figure swayed suddenly, stumbling and stumbling, as if he was deeply drunk.

It's okay if you're drunk. You fall asleep and don't remember anything when you wake up. Even if you remember something, it's just a dream.But now that he has not touched any alcohol, he is naturally very sober. He soberly heard the other party saying that he was just a dog of the Chen family...a dog.He thought they were blood relatives, but he didn't expect that it was just his wishful thinking in the end.

How ridiculous.

The night is deep, the autumn wind is cool, and the branches of the trees in the courtyard are strong, cutting the cool white moonlight into mottled shapes of light and shadow, like ghostly shadows.Chen Yinuo looked at the swaying light and shadow, and suddenly pulled down the corner of his mouth.The moment the corners of his mouth drooped, he suddenly understood why Chen Song had never thought of returning to Chen's house for a visit in these years.

Behind him, Chen Jiahui was still shouting, and his hoarse voice only made people feel upset.Chen Yinuo entered the room, closed the door, lay on his back on the couch under the window, slowly closed his eyes, and turned over.The back is facing outward.

……

The morning sun is rising, there is still the smell of dew in the air, the autumn breeze is cool, and the sky is high and blue.

You Lingxi had finished dressing up, took the carriage arranged early in the morning, and set off for the palace.She had a long chat with her father last night. At first, she talked about the pros and cons, then she almost begged for a long time, and in the end, she even burst into tears almost hysterically, but it was still no use.The father's side was blocked, not to mention the mother. The woman who threatened that even if she was a foot short of white silk and died, she would put a red hijab on the memorial tablet and send it to the Chen family's ancestral grave. She had always insisted on her own identity first. The eldest princess, and then the mother.

Begging her... is useless.

Since there is no use in the house, she can only find another way to make a living.

It's not like I didn't think about marrying into the Chen family with my eyes closed.As long as it's not Ning Xiuyuan, it doesn't really matter who the other person is.What's more, when the princess gets married, the royal family doesn't feel embarrassed, the eldest princess doesn't feel embarrassed, and everyone doesn't feel embarrassed, and they are even happy to see it happen, so why should she feel embarrassed for herself?But... everything that is going on outside now is Chen Jiahui's scandalous things. As far as she is concerned, marrying a trafficker and a lackey is better than marrying this man who once seemed to have nothing but glory but now has no glory left. Young master of the Chen family!So, she thought about finding the Queen.

My father was always an upright person and did not cling to powerful people. He often told his mother and himself to keep a distance from the concubines in the palace and not to have too close relationships to arouse people's suspicion.Therefore, the relationship between You Lingxi and the Queen is actually not very warm. Firstly, the You and Bai families can be regarded as good friends. Secondly, the Ning family and the Bai family have always been on good terms, and You Lingxi has always followed her. Mrs. Ning had visited the Queen several times, and the Queen was very friendly to her. Thinking about it, if she could meet her this time, she would be very likely to get the result she wanted.

After all, it is said that the relationship between the emperor and the empress is very good. If there is only one person in the world who can influence the emperor's mind, it is probably the empress, the master of the harem.

She thought like this, lowering her eyebrows and smiling bitterly - never would she have thought that until now, she would still have to use the favor of Duke Ningguo... She obviously wanted to draw a clear line with him.

After entering the palace, I handed over the greeting card in a polite manner. Not long after the palace maid went in to announce, the nanny beside the queen came out and saluted You Lingxi, "Old slave, I have met the princess." The smile on her face was warm and calm. , but not a bit affectionate.

You Lingxi felt a sudden change in her heart, but she didn't show any signs of it on her face. She just lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Can the Queen get up?"

Mammy bowed again, "It's time for me to get up. It's just that I was greedy for cold last night and ate a glass of cold wine before going to bed. No, I complained of a headache early in the morning. I took medicine and fell asleep not long ago... It's really unlucky for the princess to come here today, I'm afraid she won't be able to see the queen."

What a coincidence.

"So...it is indeed an unlucky time for my princess to come here." You Lingxi tightened the handkerchief in his hand, and then asked with a steady expression, "Your Majesty's health is very important, Lingxi really shouldn't bother you. What does the imperial doctor say?"

Mammy bowed again, and there was really nothing inappropriate in her etiquette. After she straightened up, she said, "The imperial doctor prescribed a prescription, saying that if you drink it for two or three days, you will be cured. However, the empress is not just greedy." It's cold. I'm probably sick because I've been thinking too much these days and the evil wind has entered my body. Before leaving, the imperial doctor repeatedly warned me to have a good rest these days and not to worry anymore..."

You must not worry anymore... You Lingxi knew that this was directly blocking his chance to speak.Mammy left her words here. If she bothered the Queen with the marriage granted by His Majesty, and if something "wrong" happened to the Queen's body, not to mention herself, even the You family would be punished.

The queen probably knew her intentions. She didn't want to help, or felt embarrassed, so she used the method of "pretending to be sick". She neither asked herself to speak nor refused herself. In this way, she just had to take some time off today. After visiting the Queen, there was no plea or rejection, everything was...as usual.

At least smart people understand the need to maintain a semblance of normalcy.

However, You Lingxi never thought that the friendship she thought was only enough to get rejected.She lowered her head slowly, "So... I've been busy taking care of the Queen for the past few days. I'll wait for the Queen to be healthy and come back to talk to her to relieve my boredom."
