The reborn concubine seeks the world

Chapter 216
After I walked out for a while, I saw Murong Yuanguo really standing in the far corridor waiting for me.

I walked up to him and saluted slightly.

"Lord Murong."

Seeing me, Murong Yuan nodded slightly.

We looked around each other, and some insignificant maids were not afraid. After all, Murong Yuan's identity is there, and I can be regarded as a first-class court lady. Besides, I used to be Murong Qingfeng's personal court lady. I want to talk to Murong Yuan alone. There will be no misunderstandings.

"Zhou Ning, I have already made arrangements for the Queen Mother."

Hearing this suddenly, my eyes widened in shock.

"So fast? Master Murong, there won't be any accidents, right?"

Hearing this, Murong Yuan shook his head slightly, "Prince Fu, who usually gives the Empress Dowager a pulse, has recently taken in an apprentice, and his apprentice is mine. I think the Empress Dowager would not have thought that I would follow the doctor who gave her pulse. Start."

I originally thought that Murong Yuan was planning to arrange for someone to go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to wait for an opportunity to retaliate. Such a method is naturally very dangerous, but now Murong Yuan's plan is safer. Come to think of it, Imperial Physician Fu belongs to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager has no intentions Take care of the apprentices of Imperial Physician Fu.

Naturally, I didn't ask Murong Yuan too much about the details, and naturally Murong Yuan didn't intend to tell me about it.

But regarding this matter, I don't care about it for the time being, but I have another question in my mind today.

"Lord Murong, I have a doubt in my mind, I would like to ask Lord Murong to explain it for me!"

Seeing what I said, Murong Yuan said indifferently: "Just tell me."

Immediately I opened my mouth and said: "Today, my servant saw that Master Murong came to Qianyuan Hall to ask for the emperor's peace pulse. If the servant is a person who does not know medical skills, I really think you are here to ask the emperor for peace. Sister Cuimei said, you come to ask the emperor for peace at this time every day, and it usually takes more than half an hour. Lord Murong, the emperor is suffering from some hidden disease, which cannot be publicized, but has to rely on you to come Help cover it up?"

Hearing my question, Murong Yuan turned cold and looked at me indifferently, and said: "It's about the emperor's business, although you are the apprentice of the divine doctor Jun, you were once the empress's personal maid, but this time You should never inquire about things casually, or outsiders will misunderstand that you have murderous intentions towards the emperor!"

Suddenly hearing what Murong Yuan said, my face froze. I didn't expect that Murong Yuan was really shrewd enough, but he was good in everything, except that he was too loyal to Yu Wenjin.

Immediately, I pretended to be terrified and said: "Lord Murong, this servant is just asking casually. If Lord Murong doesn't want to say anything, then this servant just doesn't ask."

After I finished speaking, Murong Yuan looked at me deeply, then turned to the other side and said, "Zhou Ning, since you have gone to the Qianyuan Hall to be on duty, you should do your duty well. Don't be too curious, and don't ask random questions, otherwise, you may easily be killed."

Although, Murong Yuan's attitude is very serious, but I can feel from his words that he is not that kind of heartless person. Thinking about it, what he said to me now is just to remind me that he doesn't want me to get into trouble. .

Immediately I blessed him, "Thank you Lord Murong for reminding me, I will definitely not ask such reckless words again."

After Murong Yuan left, I went back to the Qianyuan Hall. At this moment, Cuimei had just exchanged a cup of tea for Yu Wenjin.

Seeing me coming in, Cui Mei secretly glanced at me, and then I felt a shudder in my heart. Sure enough, Yu Wenjin saw me coming in now, so he immediately said: "Zhou Ning, come here!"

Hearing this, I walked up to Yu Wenjin, lowered my head, but didn't speak.

"Where did you go just now?"

Hearing his question, my body froze, and I turned my head to look at Cuimei, but I saw the cold expression on her face. It seemed that Cuimei didn't know that I was going out just now. Thinking of this, we are Kneel down.

"Your Majesty, this servant just went to find Lord Murong privately, begging His Majesty to forgive me!"

Seeing that I admitted it so easily, Yu Wenjin showed a hint of surprise on his face.

"Zhou Ning, do you know the consequences of the private meeting between the court lady and the minister?"

Hearing Yu Wenjin's question, I immediately thought of Daqing's regulations in my head. The private meeting between court ladies and foreign ministers will naturally lose their heads, but Murong Yuan and I just talked a few words. Let's talk in private.

"Your Majesty, this servant and Lord Murong just exchanged a few words. Besides, from this servant's point of view, Lord Murong is still the uncle of the Fourth Prince. This servant is all about the Fourth Prince. Naturally, I want to remind Lord Murong that we must always Come to Dongpian Hall to see the Fourth Prince."

Seeing what I said, Murong Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he glanced at Cui Mei who was not far away. Cui Mei was naturally afraid of Yu Wenjin, and immediately her body trembled.

Seeing such a situation, it should be that Cuimei just said a lot of ridiculous things in front of Yu Wenjin.

Thinking of this, my face turned cold, and I continued to say: "I beg your majesty to be clear, this slave is not having a private meeting with Lord Murong, if the emperor does not believe it, you can ask the court ladies and eunuchs who witnessed it, if this is the case, Then this servant and Lord Murong must have had some inappropriate contact, but this servant swears that this servant and Lord Murong are definitely innocent."

In fact, Yu Wenjin clearly knows that I am Murong Qingluan, and naturally Murong Yuan is my second brother. It is really ridiculous to say such a thing in secret, but I heard Yu Wenjin say that, and I think he did it on purpose embarrass me.

After listening to what I said, when I raised my eyes, Yu Wenjin looked at me and his expression changed a lot. There was a lot of humor in it, and... teasing...

Seeing him like this, I immediately lowered my head again.

"Since the words have been explained, I believe you are, so you can retreat."

Hearing this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now I retreated to Cuimei's side again.

Seeing that I was pardoned by Yu Wenjin so easily, Cuimei beside me looked annoyed, but I didn't care about her, I just pretended not to understand.

In the evening, Yu Wenjin was going to turn over Xueguiren's brand, but when he heard that Princess Wenxin was unwell, Yu Wenjin naturally went to Biyuxuan again.

Come to think of it, Mr. Xuegui had a hard time this night. After all, the favor in front of him suddenly disappeared, so he was naturally extremely annoyed.

I walked out of the Qianyuan Hall, only to see Xiao Qizi frowning.

I looked at Xiaoqizi with a smile and said, "Eunuch, what's the matter, seems to be something bothering you?"

Seeing my question, Xiao Qizi sighed slightly.

"Miss Zhou Ning, you don't know, the prince ordered the slaves to go to the Xuehan Palace to inform the nobleman Xue that he doesn't have to go to bed tonight, but no one knows that nobleman Xue is the empress dowager's niece, slave... The slave dare not offend her."

Xiao Qizi is different from Xiao Hezi. Although Xiao Hezi is a little silly sometimes, he is also Wang Shunxi's apprentice after all. Naturally, Wang Shunxi will not let Xiao Hezi do such thankless things.

However, although this matter is thankless, it is a good opportunity for me. Immediately, I looked at the little flag and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law. If you dare not report to Xuehan Palace, I will go there for you." Bar."

Hearing what I said, Xiao Qizi looked at me with disbelief, and I smiled and said: "What I said is true, you should stay in front of Qianyuan Hall, I'll go right away!"

Seeing what I said, Xiao Qizi immediately showed a smile on his face and said: "Miss Zhou Ning, Xiao Qi, thank you for your generous help. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just tell me Xiao Qi, as long as I can help you Do it, such as duty-bound."

Hearing this, I laughed in a way, turned to look at Xiao Qizi and said: "Elder-in-law, this is a deal, just wait, I should go, otherwise I will be late, I am afraid that the anger of Xuegui will be even worse." big."

After finishing speaking, I walked in the direction of Xuehan Palace. This Xuehan Palace is really close to Qianyuan Palace, but within two moments, I was already standing in front of the gate of Xuehan Palace.

In this room, I was planning to ask the eunuch guarding the door to help me in and make an announcement, but I just saw Shao Yao coming back from the outside, and she was still carrying a lot of medicinal materials in her hand.

"Miss Shaoyao is back, with so many herbs in her hand, could it be that Master Xue is feeling unwell?"

Hearing this, Shao Yao smiled slightly and said: "These are some medicines that the Empress Dowager specially asked Imperial Physician Fu to prescribe for Master Xue, and I want Master to open up branches and leaves for the Emperor as soon as possible!"

Hearing what Shaoyao said, I had a doubt in my heart.

The Empress Dowager wants Xuegui to give Yuwen Jin a lot of money. This doesn't sound like the Empress Dowager's style at all. After all, I know clearly in my heart that although the Empress Dowager helped Xuegui enter the palace, she wanted Xuegui to get Yuwen. Jin's favor helps her to consolidate the power in her hands, but although Mrs. Xue is favored on the surface, even I can see clearly that Yu Wenjin not only doesn't like Mrs. Xue, but also loathes her.

"Zhou Ning, I heard that you are now on duty in the Qianyuan Palace, why are you here at Xuehan Palace at this time?"

Hearing this, I immediately looked at Shaoyao and said with a smile: "No, Princess Wenxin is not feeling well. The emperor missed the princess's health and went to Biyuxuan at night. I'm here to inform Mrs. Xue. Tonight, Mrs. Xue doesn't need to wait on her." bedtime."

Seeing what I said, Shao Yao subconsciously frowned, "This..."

I naturally knew that Shao Yao would not dare to tell Xuegui this news in person, and then Shao Yao raised her eyes and looked at me a little embarrassed: "Miss Zhou Ning, you are also on duty in Qianyuan Palace now, Why don't you go in and report this matter to the master yourself."

Seeing Shaoyao say that, I knew in my heart that Shaoyao didn't want to be blamed by Mrs. Xuegui.

Immediately I smiled at Shaoyao and said: "Forget it, the girl should not tell Master Xue about such a thankless matter. I will go to her and tell her in person, and she will not make things difficult for the girl."

Xu Shi Shaoyao never thought that I would agree to her so easily, and immediately she was overjoyed, but this Xiangyao seems to have less scruples about me and more peace of mind.

Although the sky is getting darker now, the Xuehan Palace is brightly lit everywhere.

I walked in with Shaoyao, and met many palace maids and eunuchs along the way. They were all very polite to Shaoyao, but the Xuehan Palace is really extremely luxurious. After all, Lady Xue has a different identity and background. She is the empress dowager's niece. Well, the queen mother must have taken care of Xuegui in these matters.

Walking into Mr. Xuegui's room, I could already smell a burst of fragrance.

This fragrance, I am afraid that Mrs. Xuegui has just finished bathing and is waiting for Yu Wenjin to come.

Lady Xuegui naturally didn't expect that I would come to Xuehan Palace at this time. When she saw me, although she deliberately kept a smile on her face, I could see clearly that Lady Xuegui didn't like acting with me much anymore. Well, looking at Murong Qingfeng's face in the past, Mrs. Xuegui treated me with courtesy, but now, Mrs. Xuegui may have noticed that Yu Wenjin has some feelings for me. She is a jealous person, so naturally My heart is very grudge against me.

But she minds me, but I hate her.

"What are you doing here with me at this hour?"

When Mrs. Xuegui asked, I immediately blessed her.

"Responding to Master Xue's words, the emperor ordered his servants to come and inform Mrs. Xue, that Mrs. Xue does not need to attend bedtime today!"

As soon as I said this, Mr. Xue Gui was still playing with me for a while, but when he heard such words, Mrs. Xue's complexion suddenly became indifferent.

"Why doesn't the emperor come to my place?"

As soon as Mr. Xuegui said this, I lowered my head and said, "Mr. Xuegui, the emperor only ordered the servants to come and inform Mrs. Xue that he does not need to go to bed tonight. The emperor never ordered the servants to explain to Mr. Xuegui about other things..."

Now, although I am a court lady, I am on duty in Yuwenjin's Qianyuan Palace. I think that if I say this, I will definitely anger Xuegui, but Xuegui doesn't dare to do anything to me. After all, she is also worried. If I do too much, it will leave a bad impression on Yu Wenjin.

It's just about the reason why I don't need to stay in bed. I just told Shaoyao on purpose, and this box of Shaoyao approached Mr. Xuegui and said: "Master, don't be angry. The emperor heard that Princess Wenxin is unwell, so he went to Biyuxuan temporarily at night."

Hearing this, Lady Xue's expression relaxed a little, and she looked at me and said, "If that's the case, Zhou Ning, you can go back."

Hearing this, I pretended to be respectful and said: "Yes, Master Xue!"

After that, I was about to leave Xuehan Palace, but at this moment I saw another maid from Xuehan Palace walk in with a bowl of medicine. The smell of this medicine was strong and unpleasant. .

"Master, it's time for you to drink the medicine!"

Shaoyao had a smile on her face, but I felt a sense of surprise in my heart. Is it possible that this medicine is what Shaoyao told me before, it was taken from Imperial Physician Fu. medicine?
The smell of this medicine, if I smell it right, it has the smell of safflower in it.

On the other hand, I never told Xuegui the truth. Thinking about it, Xuegui is a poor person. She originally entered the palace as a pawn in the Queen Mother's hands. He has long been regarded as an abandoned son by the queen mother.

Since the queen mother chooses to kill Yu Wenjin, then naturally, the queen mother will definitely not let Xue Gui give birth to Yu Wenjin's children. In fact, I have already thought about these things clearly in my heart.

The queen mother is afraid that she will eventually take action against the concubine Zhen, seizing the son and killing the mother. After all, although the third prince was saved by Jun Wuyou, but Jun Wuyou once said that the third prince will not be able to read in this life, so naturally the third prince will become the empress dowager. Control the next emperor.

Coming out of Xuehan Palace, I thought to myself, although Xuegui is pitiful, I will not soften my heart to her. Since the Queen Mother let her drink this decoction, I don't need to mention it, but there is no need to treat Xuegui. The possibility of having a child, if I try to let her know the truth, she is afraid that she will hate the Queen Mother to death!
Immediately, the corners of my lips curled up slightly, since you all turned your back on me, I am naturally happy to relax and see how you perform such a good show.

I was about to rush to the Qianyuan Hall along the way, when suddenly the voice of Shao Yao came from behind me.

"Miss Zhou Ning, wait!"

Hearing this, I turned around and saw Shaoyao walking in front of me, and then said: "Miss Zhou Ning, that bowl of medicine just now..."

When I heard Shaoyao mentioning the medicine, we smiled and said, "Why did Miss Shaoyao come out again? What happened to the bowl of medicine? Could it be that Master Xue needs to find a slave for something?"

Seeing what I said, Shao Yao smiled slightly, "The girl is a smart person, since the girl said so, Shao Yao also understood in her heart, it's all right, the girl should go back."

Hearing this, I turned my head and continued to walk forward, but at the moment my heart was completely cold.

After all, this peony came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, thinking about it is also deep, I just took a second look at the medicine just now, she has already guessed it, and now she specially ran out to warn me.

After returning to Qianyuan Hall from Xuehan Palace, I naturally went to Dongpian Hall. Yu Wenjin rested in Biyuxuan at night. Naturally, Cuimei and I don't have to be on duty anymore, but the eunuchs in front of the hall are more tired than us Some, of course, are inseparable.

When I got back to the house, I fetched some water and took a bath by myself. Come to think of it, fortunately Yu Wenjin also valued me a little bit. In my house, there are few court ladies and eunuchs to prevent me from living like a harem concubine That's how life is gone.

I was leaning on the bathtub, my eyes were slightly closed, my mind was full of too many things, and when I was free, I felt tired all over.

However, just as I was leaning on the tub and thinking about something, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in my ears.

Immediately, I was so startled that I hurriedly got up. I had just put on my coat when the door of my room was suddenly opened.

I screamed in fright, looked up, and there was a girl wearing a veil standing in front of me, and behind her were several maidservants who were dressed similarly to her and wore veils.

"You... who are you?"

When I asked this way, I saw the woman in front of me walk in with an arrogant face.

"You are Zhou Ning?"

Her tone sounded very bad, and I immediately became annoyed.

"Girls have always acted so rudely. Before you come in, don't you knock on the door first?"

As soon as I said this, the woman turned her head and looked at me. There was a sharp light in her eyes. Although her attire looked very strange and fresh, her eyes seemed to make me look at me. An animal arrives.

Wolf!
Then I asked again: "The girl is from the wolf clan?"

As soon as I said this, the woman sneered coldly, "You have a bit of insight, but for a woman like you, I really don't understand that Prince Li is unwilling to marry even a princess of my wolf family because of you." !"

Hearing this, I was taken aback.

What wolf princess?

There was a puzzled look on my face, and I saw the woman in front of me say: "It seems that Prince Li never told you about that matter?"

There was a look of surprise on the woman's face at this moment, but I also understood a little bit in my heart. She meant that Yu Wenli once rejected the affection of the wolf princess in the fief for me?

After thinking about this matter clearly, I looked at the woman in front of me, and instead of feeling annoyed, I felt happy and happy.

"Girl, did you come to me today just to tell me about this matter? If that's the case, then I'll tell you too. I'm very grateful for your visit today, knowing that the prince cherishes my relationship with him so much. , I am very happy."

Hearing what I said, the woman looked annoyed.

"you……"

Then she laughed sarcastically again, "Although my former princess of the wolf tribe is dead, I am the daughter of the first elder of the wolf tribe. I came here today to tell you, Lord Li, it belongs to me. You can never get it." he!"

Suddenly a woman came to me and declared war on me. I was a little surprised, but I was not afraid.

Now that the daughter of the first elder of the wolf tribe has entered the palace, it means that the wolf tribe has really been taken back by Yu Wenli, so tomorrow Yu Wenli will really return to the dynasty in a fair and honest manner!
"Ha ha……"

I looked at the woman in front of me and suddenly laughed.

"Girl, does your lord know what you said to me today? Also, does your majesty know that you broke into the Dongpian Palace so suddenly? Girl, the imperial palace of the Daqing Dynasty is very different from your wolf clan." No, with your status in the palace, you should abide by the rules and don't run around, if you are misunderstood that you are running around in the palace, I am afraid that others will suspect that you have the intention to assassinate the emperor."

Seeing what I said, the woman in front of me suddenly laughed.

"Assassination of the emperor? The emperor promised me that he can walk around in the palace at will, and I will tell you a piece of news. When the prince returns to the court tomorrow, the emperor will personally issue a decree to marry me and the prince. You, just give up!"

When I heard the news suddenly, my face froze.

"What did you say?"

I looked at the woman in front of me and asked immediately.

But she looked at me with a sneer on her face and said: "By the way, I heard that you are the court lady serving tea in front of the emperor. If that is the case, you will know about it tomorrow."

After saying these words, the woman in front of me walked out with an arrogant face, but I froze in place.

Yu Wenjin wants to marry Yu Wenli?

As soon as I thought of this, I hurriedly put on my clothes, and walked out of Qianyuan Hall to Biyuxuan, but when I was about to reach Biyuxuan, I suddenly remembered that Xiao Quanzi, who was on duty at Biyuxuan, Long dead!

Immediately, my heart panicked.

Yu Wenjin wants to marry the daughter of the first elder of the wolf tribe to marry Yu Wenli. I naturally want to find out about this matter, but now I find that if Yu Wenli hadn't taken the initiative to find me, I would not know what to do. Then go through who can pass the message with him!
Thinking of this, I became more and more anxious.

How could Yu Wenjin not keep his original promise, how could he marry Yu Wenli and the daughter of the wolf clan?

I was about to turn around and leave when I didn't want to hear the voice of Xiaoqi suddenly.

"Who's sneaking around there?"

Immediately, my body was shaken for a while, and I was about to leave quickly, but when Xiao Qizi made such a noise, several eunuchs came out again and walked to me quickly.

They were holding lanterns in their hands at the moment, when they saw it was me, Xiao Qifang was surprised and said: "Why is it you?"

Seeing Xiao Qizi, we let go of the panic in our hearts and said instead: "I... I heard that Princess Wenxin was unwell, so I was a little worried about her, and I wanted to come and have a look..."

This reason... I don't believe it myself.

Immediately, my face turned red, seeing me like this, Xiao Qizi smiled and said: "The girl is really kind, don't worry, Princess Wenxin just suffered from a bit of cold, the imperial doctor took medicine and fell asleep. "

I was a little surprised when I heard this, but when I looked up, I saw Xiao Qizi was still smiling at me and gave me a wink. It seemed that he was going to let me go!

Thinking of this, I immediately smiled and said, "This way I can feel relieved."

Then Xiao Qizi turned around and said, "Let's all go back. Miss Zhou Ning used to be the personal maid of the former empress, but now she is the maid serving tea in front of the emperor's palace. It is normal for her to care about Princess Wenxin."

What Xiao Qizi said was really strange and unreasonable.

But Xiao Qizi's words also affected other people, and I watched them all go back to the gate of Biyuxuan to be on duty.

I gave a heavy sigh of relief, but luckily I did Xiao Qizi a favor today, so naturally he is also helping me to excuse me now.

Although Princess Wenxin is the child of Zhou Xiaolian and Yu Wenjin, after all, I hate Zhou Xiaolian very much, even knowing that Wenxin has a trace of the Zhou family's blood in her body, but I still can't really let go of it. All bad guys, go care about this kid.

In Biyuxuan, Wang Shunxi naturally also heard about the outside affairs, after Xiao Qizi reported the matter to Wang Shunxi, Wang Shunxi also took the words to heart.

The next morning, Yu Wenjin got up and asked, "Did you catch the assassin yesterday?"

Hearing this, Wang Shunxi said: "If you go back to the emperor, there wasn't an assassin yesterday, it was Miss Zhou Ning who heard that Princess Wenxin was unwell, and came secretly to see Princess Wenxin, but Xiao Qizi and the others found her and mistakenly thought she was an assassin gone."

Hearing this, Yu Wenjin's expression froze.

Zhou Ning cares about Wenxin?

Hearing such news, Yu Wenjin was undoubtedly happy. After all, there was a trace of the Zhou family's blood flowing in Wen Xin's body. In Yu Wenjin's view, if Zhou Ning cared about Wen Xin, would Zhou Ning also forgive her back then? The crime of Zhou Xiaolian testifying in person, which led to the extermination of the Zhou family?
If Zhou Ning is willing to forgive Zhou Xiaolian, what about him?Did Zhou Ning forgive him too?

Thinking of the important decision he had to make today, and after hearing such news, Yu Wenjin became even more confident.

In the early court, Cuimei and I have been waiting in front of the palace. After seeing all the civil and military officials pay homage to Yuwen Jin, we mentioned some state affairs, and there were no new topics.

However, just when I thought the morning court was about to end, suddenly Yu Wenjin appeared in the main hall dressed in white clothes.

"Your Majesty, my younger brother is back!"

As soon as Yu Wenli came back, I immediately clasped my fists to salute Yu Wenli. I stood far away in front of the palace, even though I knew in my heart that Yu Wenli had already returned to the palace early and mixed in as a guard in the palace, but now In this hall, seeing him standing in front of Yu Wenjin openly, my heart suddenly trembled.

Seeing Yu Wenli, I was extremely happy in my heart, but I was also afraid of one thing, because yesterday, a woman suddenly rushed into my room and swore to me that Yu Wenli was hers!
I was really worried about what came.

As soon as Yu Wenjin saw Yu Wenli, he immediately smiled and said: "Sixth brother, you don't need to be too polite. It just so happens that you are returning to the court today. I have a happy event to announce to all my lovers!"

Hearing this, my body tensed suddenly, and immediately I looked up at Yu Wenli, and Yu Wenli also looked towards me, and then gave me a reassuring look.

What's going on here?

Turning my head, I saw Xiaohezi come in in a hurry, and whispered something in Wang Shunxi's ear. Immediately, Wang Shunxi's face was startled, and he came to Yu Wenjin and whispered: "Your Majesty, the wolf just now The maid of Miss Yunduo, the daughter of the family, came to report that Miss Yunduo was found in her house early this morning and committed suicide..."

I was standing in front of the hall, so I could clearly hear what Wang Shunxi and Yu Wenli said.

The arrogant and arrogant woman in front of me yesterday committed suicide?
Then I looked at Yu Wenli, and immediately understood in my heart, it was Yu Wenli, who actually killed that woman named Yunduo!
