I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 234 To seek skin from a tiger

The Qishan faction is hidden deep in the desert. Although the people in the Yebu haven't found their specific whereabouts yet, it's not impossible to find out some information. Therefore, about Meiyin and her Aibai Li Haochen fell in love with his crazy master Qi Qingyan, and Qu Lingxu had already learned about it from Ling Xiao a few days ago.

Qu Lingxu originally thought that Princess Qingyu's love for Leng Yuanxun was enough to make people collapse and suffocate, but he didn't expect Baili Haochen to meet an enhanced version. Must be a good thing, especially for men.

Feelings are emotions, but after thinking about it, Qu Lingxu feels that there is nothing wrong with Qi Qingyan's existence. This crazy feeling is doomed for her to care about Baili Haochen's every move. In this way, some things that are inconvenient for her to do, It's fine to let her handle it, isn't it?
Thinking of this, Qu Lingxu raised his voice and called Meiyin to him, without hiding anything, he just asked straight to the point: "When will she come to settle accounts with the princess?"

Qu Lingxu is not stupid. Of course, she has long noticed that Meiyin's feelings for Baili Haochen are not much less than Qi Qingyan's, but she lacks a lot in terms of status, ability and means, and is far less useful than Qi Qingyan.

Of course, with Qi Qingyan's current state, she might wish she could be skinned and boned, so she is taking a risk and seeking skin from a tiger.

Qu Lingxu's sudden words caused Meiyin's beautiful face to freeze for an instant, and after she realized it, she hurriedly changed into a blank expression, "Master, what are you talking about, this servant can't understand."

Can't understand?
Qu Lingxu had no interest in cooperating with Meiyin to continue her clumsy performance, and she was even less bothered playing charades. She took out the silk handkerchief around her waist, wiped the corners of her mouth lightly, and then raised her eyebrows with a half-smile and said, "Meiyin, You have been with this princess for not a day or two, and you must have some understanding of this princess's temperament. We Ming people don't speak dark words, and with Qi Qingyan's temperament, we absolutely cannot tolerate other women around Baili Haochen "The last time you poisoned the princess' medicine, you followed her order. Since you failed to kill the princess, then she will definitely do it herself. Is the princess's statement wrong?" "

In fact, counting the days, Qi Qingyan should have appeared as early as the day before they entered the Beili Palace. The reason why she did not show up for so long must be because of some delays. Instead of passively waiting, always be on guard against her inadvertently Instead of a sneak attack, it's better to take the initiative and ask someone out to talk calmly.

What she wants crazily is the hot potato that she can't wait to push away. If they cooperate with each other, they will both get what they want.

Cough, if Baili Haochen knew that he had such a position in Qu Lingxu's heart, his heart that was not pure would probably suffer a critical blow of [-] points...

Of course, this is all for later. Meiyin is suffering from a critical blow of [-] points. These days, although she often serves Qu Lingxu, she has never mentioned a single word about the Qishan School to him. , not to mention Qi Qingyan, whom she has always been quite jealous of. Baili Haochen doesn't like Qi Qingyan, and he won't take the initiative to talk about it with Qu Lingxu, in order to prevent more exposure of the secrets between Beili and Qishan faction. So the problem Come on, how did Qu Lingxu know so much?
When people are too shocked, they tend to temporarily ignore the control of facial expressions, and Meiyin is no exception. Although she quickly recovered, she did not show much emotion, but it was enough for Qu Lingxu to affirm the emotion in her heart. Presumably, Yi said lightly: "You don't have to worry about how the princess knows this, and you don't have to reveal Qi Qingyan's whereabouts. You just need to pass a word to her." With puzzled eyes, he continued: "The princess has a way to get Baili Haochen to accept her. If she is willing to try, we can sit down and have a good talk. Of course, if she thinks she has enough ability to get rid of this Princess, and you don't need to bear Baili Haochen's anger, you can try it."

The Qishan faction can exist for hundreds of years, and no one has been able to completely uncover its mystery so far. The power must not be underestimated. Qu Lingxu never underestimates the enemy, so even with the protection of Ling Xiao and several other hidden guards, she will not She can guarantee that she can survive the confrontation with Qi Qingyan unscathed, but she can be sure that if she gets hurt, neither Baili Haochen nor Leng Yuanxun will be able to spare the Qi Shan faction.

No matter how powerful a Jianghu sect is, it would never dare to confront two great powers at the same time, unless it thinks that it is not fast enough to die, which she believes Qi Qingyan will understand.

What's more, the terms of cooperation she proposed are attractive enough in themselves.

Meiyin never expected Qu Lingxu to say these words, she was so shocked that she even forgot to respond, after a while, she managed to regain her voice, and stammered and asked in a low voice: "Princess, What you said... is true?"

What kind of person Baili Haochen is, Meiyin couldn't be more clear. Although he has a peerless face that is enough to drown the girls in the world, but his heart is extremely cold and decisive, cruel and arrogant. Such a man, the most hated How dare Qu Lingxu say such a thing in front of her, even if he is being used by others, isn't he afraid that she will inform her?

"Is there any benefit in lying to you?" Qu Lingxu glanced at Meiyin expressionlessly, "Of course, you can also tell Baili Haochen what the princess said just now, but... can Qi Qingyan let it go?" If I pass you, the princess will not know."

For servants like Meiyin, there can only be one master. If she chooses to be loyal to Baili Haochen openly, it will be a betrayal of Qi Qingyan.

With Qi Qingyan's temperament, there is absolutely no room for betrayal.

Qu Lingxu's words without any warmth made Meiyin tremble uncontrollably. Although she had promised to be completely loyal to Baili Haochen under the threat of torture last time, that was only a promise not to hurt Qu It's just Lingxu, her master has always been Qi Qingyan.

It's just... Meiyin carefully glanced at Qu Lingxu, her eyes were full of resentment.

No matter whether she or Qi Qingyan, she dreamed of gaining Baili Haochen's favor, but she couldn't get it all the time, but the woman in front of her not only got all this easily, but also wanted to let it go like nothing, why!
After living for more than ten years, Meiyin has never been so unwilling like this at this moment. For a moment, she really wanted to kill Qu Lingxu without hesitation to vent her hatred, but under the control of the last sliver of rationality, such crazy In the end, his thoughts turned into unwilling submission, "I dare not."

"You are a smart person, so you naturally understand what is best for you." Qu Lingxu saw Meiyin's emotional changes, and the worry hidden in her heart gradually dissipated. This princess is going to Zhaoren Palace."

There are many enemies and few friends in Beili, and it is inconvenient to open the doctor system from time to time. For this reason, Qu Lingxu specially asked the imperial physician for a medicine box, and took out some commonly used medicines and put them in the medicine box for easy use at any time.

"Yes." Meiyin agreed with a bow, and hurried away.

The Cangqiong Palace belongs to the East Palace, and it is not close to the Zhaoren Palace where the Empress lives. Qu Lingxu was not in a hurry, and just strolled past. In early winter, even in the capital, there are only a few pots left that bloom in late autumn. The chrysanthemum is still dying, and as for the Beili Palace, which has an even harsher climate, there is nothing but a bare patch, and I wish I could see the sky at a glance.

"I don't have any awareness of afforestation at all, no wonder the wind and sand are so strong." A gust of cold wind blew, Qu Lingxu wrapped the silver fox cloak around her body, and complained while sucking her cold red nose.

Maybe she should teach Baili Haochen about the important role of afforestation, which can be regarded as a benefit.

After wandering around in such a boring way for half an hour, when Qu Lingxu felt that the breakfast he had just had was almost digested, the two of them, master and servant, finally came to the gate of Zhaoren Palace. The gatekeeper recognized Qu Lingxu, She greeted her from afar, and said with a smile: "Princess, the empress has ordered you to come in, you don't need to report, just go in."

"Thank you." Qu Lingxu nodded slightly, and then signaled Meiyin to take out a small silver ingot to reward the palace servants, and then slowly entered Zhaoren Palace amidst the palace maids' thanks.

When Qu Lingxu passed through the courtyard, the palace servants who were serving in the dormitory had already got the news. They waited outside the door early and respectfully led her in. As soon as they stepped into the palace door, they heard the girl's cheerful laughter like silver bells. When he got closer, he saw a girl about ten years old sitting beside the queen's bed, smiling sweetly and saying something.

Qu Lingxu thought for a while, and she understood in her heart that this girl must be Baili Haochen's only younger sister, Baili Yiqing.

"Good luck, empress." Qu Lingxu was not a citizen of Beili, so she didn't call herself a minister's daughter, but just bowed her knees to ask for her blessing.

"The princess is here, please give me a seat for free." The queen has been married to Beili for more than [-] years and has never returned to her hometown. Now she is very happy to see Qu Lingxu, a fellow villager, and then said gratefully: "Thanks The princess rescued me, and my life was saved, I really don’t know how to thank the princess.”

Empress Beili's personality is completely different from her husband's and son's. There is always a friendly and kind smile on her dignified and generous face. Qu Lingxu is not affected by it, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are welcome."

Saying this, Qu Lingxu planned to have another examination for Empress Beili, but before she could make a move, Baili Yiqing at the side pulled her arm affectionately, and after looking carefully, hehe She said with a smile, "Mother, this elder sister was born so beautiful. My daughter has grown up so much. I have never seen such a beautiful elder sister. It's like walking out of a painting."

If this was said from an adult, it would inevitably be suspected of flattery, but if a child said it, it could only show that she really liked Qu Lingxu, and she didn't hide anything.
