I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 201 Two birds with one stone

"Okay." Qu Lingxu nodded slightly, and after giving Ling Xiao full responsibility for Yunyi's martial arts practice, he ordered: "Tell Leng Yuanxun, I will go to another hospital tomorrow to have a physical examination for Lord Hou."

Qu Liancheng did not allow her to leave the mansion, but who said that she must go through the gate?
Ling Xiao wanted to ask whether to inform Leng Yuanxun of the news that Qu Liancheng wanted Qu Lingxu to enter the palace, but after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea. The two masters on the left and right will meet each other tomorrow, and they can keep these words for themselves up.

In this way, the conversation at Jianjiayuan came to an end. When Qu Lingxu had a delicious meal and went back to the dormitory to rest, Qu Liancheng also came to Qinzheng Hall to plead guilty. I can't wait to tie him out of the Meridian Gate and behead him immediately.

However, as Qu Lingxu had predicted before, the current situation in the northern border is unstable, and it is by no means a long-term solution for Rong Sheng's father, Zhong Yonghou, to guard it alone. Qu Liancheng has fought against the Northern Li army many times. Having achieved a good record, sending him to assist Zhongyonghou is undoubtedly the safest choice.

Qu Liancheng had analyzed this point before he dared to return to Beijing to plead guilty, but he would have to take a huge risk to speculate on the emperor's heart. After all, no matter how well he understood, he was not the emperor himself, and the emperor's mood fluctuated from time to time. It is not allowed to choose to vent your anger first if you are unhappy.

Fortunately, in this gamble, he won.

Thinking in this way, Qu Liancheng secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, kowtowed again and again: "I thank the emperor for his great kindness, I will do my best to guard the northern gate, as long as the Northern Li army dares to invade, they will come." No return!"

"Remember what you said, if you make any mistakes, you don't have to come back to see me." Although the emperor temporarily spared Qu Liancheng's life, he was still extremely annoyed in his heart, and didn't want to look at his obtrusive face again, just coldly Said: "Starting today, you will be demoted to lieutenant general. After arriving in the northern border, all actions will be under the command of Zhongyonghou."

The emperor is suspicious by nature, even with his biological sons Murong Jing and Murong Li, he is always speculative and defensive, but he has 120 points of trust in his brother-in-law, Zhong Yonghou. It can be seen that the character of loyalty from generation to generation is the most powerful interpretation of family character.

Compared with life, the position of the moment is nothing at all, not to mention that he still has a powerful trump card, so he immediately said submissively: "Don't worry, the emperor, I must be cautious in my words and deeds, and always be loyal and brave. " Saying this, Qu Liancheng quietly raised his head and glanced at the emperor, seeing that the other party's expression was normal, he calmed down and continued: "I still have something to report to the emperor."

The emperor didn't want to see Qu Liancheng in the first place, and in addition to being entangled with Lin Yu'er these days and nights, he was very tired. Seeing that the other party had something to say, his gloomy face couldn't help but darken a bit, Shen Sheng Said: "What's the matter?"

Qu Liancheng has been with him for many years, so he couldn't hear the anger in the emperor's words, but even so, he had to continue, "Reporting to the emperor, Qu Lingxu, the eldest daughter of my minister, is already old enough to participate in this year's draft, but because of My wife was in mourning and missed the selection period, so I also invited the emperor to allow my daughter to participate in the selection."

Hearing the word 'draft', the emperor's lazy eyes showed a strange gleam, and immediately coughed lightly, and asked, "Why, do you want Princess Xinyue to enter the palace?"

It is true that the emperor is greedy for beauty, but now Lin Yu'er, who has acquired the skill of serving others, is not as enthusiastic about other women as before. What's more, the queen has repeatedly revealed in front of him that she wants Naqu Lingxu means Crown Princess.

Qu Liancheng didn't hear the hesitation in the emperor's words, he only thought that the other party was testing his reluctance, so he kowtowed again and said word by word: "It's my daughter's honor to be able to enter the palace to serve the emperor. As for whether she can be selected, it depends on her good fortune, I dare not speak nonsense."

Qu Liancheng's words caused the emperor to fall into a brief silence. Qu Liancheng didn't dare to urge him, but just quietly waited for the reply. Just when the emperor was about to speak again, the vermilion palace door was pushed open with a creak, and the guards outside the palace The little eunuch walked in slowly, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, my concubine Wangui is asking to see you outside."

In fact, when the emperor met with the courtiers, it was inappropriate for a concubine from the harem to come to ask for an audience, but Lin Yuer was being favored, and the emperor personally ordered her to have the right to have an audience at any time, so the eunuch naturally did not dare to delay for a moment.

Hearing Lin Yu'er's name, the emperor felt a shock, sat up straight without realizing it, and lightly reprimanded: "It's windy outside, why don't you hurry up and invite concubine Wangui in."

"Yes." The little inner supervisor nodded and quickly backed away.

Not long after the little eunuch retreated, a meandering figure floated into the hall accompanied by bursts of fragrant wind. Lin Yu'er obviously dressed up intentionally, with three thousand black silk tied into a delicate black bun, with glittering dots in between. On the top of the bun is a gold thread hollowed-out dot emerald phoenix head, and the ruby ​​in the phoenix's mouth is shining brightly.

As for the clothes, she was wearing a pale pink long dress. The cuffs and the hem of the skirt were embroidered with the plum blossom pattern suitable for this season with gold thread, and some auspicious clouds were outlined with silver thread. The exquisite gold brushed belt With a graceful figure, the dress is novel and unique, making it extraordinarily delicate, cute and charming.

The real allure.

With just one glance, Qu Liancheng was stunned. Fortunately, he did not forget the identity of the person in front of him, and forced himself to bow his head.

Coveting the emperor's woman is a capital offense.

The emperor saw that the little beauty he had been dreaming of had changed into a different style, so he didn't care about what to say to Qu Liancheng, so he just said indifferently: "Concubine Xu is in charge of the selection, it's still early, you go to Linzhi Palace , let the imperial concubine handle it."

Qu Liancheng wanted Qu Lingxu to participate in the draft, so he did. Anyway, one more woman in the palace is not too many, and one less is not too many.

The emperor's words were in line with Qu Liancheng's intentions, so he was about to salute and retreat, but Lin Yu'er smiled and said: "Your majesty, my concubine has made a new jujube paste and kidney bean cake, and I want to invite the emperor to taste it first. If you eat it in your mouth, then send it to the empress and concubine to taste, if General Qu is going to Linzhi Palace, why not take the kidney bean cake there, so that the ministers and concubines can avoid the trip."

"My concubine's skill is not even comparable to that of an imperial cook, so how can it be bad?" The emperor only thought about being alone with his little beauty, how could he care about snacks, and he waved his hand readily and said, "The meaning of Concubine Wangui, Can you hear me clearly?"

"I understand." Qu Liancheng agreed, bowed and exited the hall, but did not notice that intriguing coldness flashed across Lin Yuer's delicate and beautiful face the moment he turned around.

In fact, Lin Yuer did come prepared, because an hour ago, she received a secret letter from Baili Haochen, asking her to find a way to send the anti-gu that was planted in Xu Guifei's body to Qu Liancheng. In her body, to lure Qu Liancheng to the Linzhi Palace, she originally wanted to find a reasonable reason, but unexpectedly, the emperor helped her handle this difficult matter by mistake. It really didn't take much effort .

After a while, it must be a good show, and she quietly watched how the arrogant Concubine Xu Gui was caught and raped by the emperor himself, and how she was executed by the thunderous emperor.

But speaking of it, Qu Liancheng's luck was really bad. He escaped all the way through the "network of heaven and earth", but after entering the capital, he was discovered by Baili Haochen. In fact, with Baili Haochen's strength, he could be killed. The hidden guards around him tried to get rid of Qu Liancheng, but after thinking for a while, he changed his mind. The reason was simple. Qu Liancheng's kung fu was not weak. If he couldn't kill him with one blow, he would definitely fight. It is possible that the identity will be exposed, so it is better to let Lin Yuer do it, and get rid of Concubine Xu by the way, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Therefore, Qu Lingxu's plan is doomed to be useless, because it is Baili Haochen, not her, who can't tolerate Qu Liancheng's comeback the most.

Of course, at this time, Qu Liancheng didn't know that he had fallen into someone else's trap. He was led all the way to Linzhi Palace by the palace servants. Concubine Xu Gui was annoyed by Princess Qingyu's abnormal behavior in Zhaoyang Palace these days. Hearing that Qu Liancheng was seeking an audience outside, he couldn't help but frown in shock, "Foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard of the harem, can General Qu ask for an order from the emperor?"

The concubine's meeting with foreign ministers can be big or small, she and Qu Liancheng can be regarded as relatives, if the emperor allows it, there is nothing wrong with it, and it happens that she also has important matters to discuss with Qu Liancheng.

Hearing Concubine Xu's words, the little maid who came to convey the message immediately nodded and said: "Report to Master, it was the inner supervisor of Qinzheng Palace who sent General Qu here, and it should have been approved by the Emperor, but..." She raised her head and glanced at Concubine Xu , continued in a low voice: "Accompanying General Qu, there is also a maid from Shunchang Palace."

Hearing the words Shunchang Palace, Concubine Xu Gui thought of Lin Yuer's face that made her extremely disgusted, and immediately said coldly: "What is she doing here?"

"I don't know." The little maid shook her head, worried that Concubine Xu Gui would get angry, and hurriedly added: "She has a food box in her hand, it must be some kind of snack made by Concubine Wan Gui."

Lin Yu'er is good at making dim sum, which is well known in the palace.

Concubine Xu Gui didn't care about Lin Yu'er's things at all, but she absolutely couldn't refuse so blatantly, she just rubbed her sore and swollen temples, and waved her hands angrily: "Okay, let them in! "

She would like to see what kind of trouble that little bitch can make. If she hadn't been so busy these days, she would have found an opportunity to take care of that little bitch. How could she be so complacent now!
Thinking like this, Concubine Xu Gui has already made up her mind, she must not let Lin Yuer continue to be favored, otherwise the harem will gradually be out of her control!
