A mercenary in the world, a ruthless concubine

Chapter 53
Concubine Wan Gui looked back and forth, and already understood what the two of them meant.

She couldn't help sneering in her heart, she was simply beyond her control, how much trouble she could make under her nose.

The concubines on the side were also very curious about the current situation of the Prince's Mansion. Seeing Su Luo say this, they laughed and sympathized, but no one thought that Su Luo was acting.

Of course, this does not include Concubine Wan Gui and the concubine who spoke...

She said quietly: "Since the princess married the prince, it is rare for the princess to come to the palace. Today is such a coincidence, let's stay for dinner!"

Su Luo frowned, thinking that the kind invitation must have some other purpose.

She bent her knees slightly, lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes and returned: "Thank you, Concubine Wan Gui, for the reward, but the crown prince is not in good health, I'm afraid I can't do without Luo Er's care..."

Concubine Wan Gui's expression flickered, then she smiled and said: "According to what I know, the prince has been secretly sent out by the emperor today to visit the people!"

Su Luo smiled lightly and said: "Concubine Wan Gui is indeed the No. This iron law can also be broken.”

In a word, Concubine Wan Gui was stunned for an instant, it turned out that this was a set, this little girl easily designed a set for her to drill, she didn't even notice it at all.

"You..." Her slender fingertips pointed at her, she was angry but couldn't help it.

Su Luo was not afraid of such anger, she wanted her to be angry.

"Your Majesty, why are you so excited? Could it be that Luo'er said something wrong, or did she say that the matter was not told by the emperor but..." She stopped while she was speaking, with a clear expression on her face.

The concubines at the side all looked at each other in dismay, and some even whispered to each other.

The concubine who spoke just now covered her mouth lightly, and said to Su Luo: "The princess is only humorous, how can a noble concubine be the kind of person who doesn't know the importance, it is probably a servant who overheard it and said it in her ear casually." , it’s not a big deal.”

Concubine Wan Gui's complexion became even darker. She didn't expect the two of them to put on the table the matter of her regent's appointment of eyeliner.

She secretly swallowed this breath, this is not the time to attack.

She waved her hand as if tired, and said: "Forget it, I don't have much to say when you say that, it's getting late, and Ben Gong and the Crown Princess are going to have lunch."

Those concubines stood up and bowed one after another, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Su Luo stood aside with a quiet and docile appearance.

"Concubine Qian stay here, you and the concubine should have a meal together after such a good talk!"

Su Luo sneered, this woman is going to play a trick, but I don't know if it is as exciting as I imagined!
She raised her head and the sharp look in her eyes just happened to meet the seemingly gentle and harmless eyes of Concubine Qian opposite, and there was a kind of tacit understanding hidden in the two looking at each other.

The palace banquet was set in a warm pavilion in the middle of an artificial lake, surrounded by water on three sides, but it didn't feel the slightest bit of coolness.

It wasn't just the three of them who came to this meal, but also the Seventh Prince Qian Yufan who hadn't seen him for a long time rushed over.

"See Mother Concubine, Concubine Qian..." Turning around and seeing Su Luo, he smiled evilly: "Emperor Sister-in-law is here too!"

Su Luo didn't bother to talk to this person, he should have known she was here when he came here.

Walking to the window, this warm pavilion is a circular building, surrounded by windows with a very empty view, but at this time it is covered by thick curtains, so you can't see the beautiful scenery outside.

Gently lifting a foot, she suddenly had an idea, she remembered that she still had the itch powder and some flower smells in her sleeve pocket...

Qian Yufan looked at Su Luo's graceful figure, and began to feel a little weak again, walked over slowly and reached out to touch her body.

Su Luo naturally knew his intentions, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised a playful arc.

His feet stretched out seemingly unintentionally, and he cleverly exerted force. Qian Yufan, who was concentrating on approaching, had no defense at all, and staggered towards the curtain.

But the fence here is very low and dark, and he is relatively tall so he can easily fall down.

Thinking of this, Su Luo felt it was funny. Outside was the cold lake in winter. Although it was beautiful, it was enough to make many people clear their minds.

With a 'plop', Qian Yufan yelled and fell into the lake.

"Yufan!!!" Concubine Wan Gui didn't know what she was talking to the maid just now, when she turned around she saw her son fell into the lake.

In an instant, everyone panicked, and the curtain was lifted. Qian Yufan was struggling in the icy lake, and Su Luo just watched coldly.

"Come on, bring His Highness the Seventh Highness up, he can't use water!!!" Concubine Wan Gui shouted nervously, then she turned her head and stared at Su Luo: "Prince Princess, you better pray that Yu Fan is fine, otherwise I will It won't make you feel better."

She turned around and was about to leave, but for some reason the smooth ground suddenly became slippery, she lost her balance and fell backwards.

"what……"

Su Luo smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold her tightly, and said calmly, "Concubine Wan Gui should be careful, otherwise it would be bad if she fell, and what the concubine said just now, Su Luo is really not I understand very well, what does the Seventh Highness have to do with me when he falls cunningly?"

With an innocent face, when Concubine Wan Gui stood up, she let go of her hand, but when she let go, a faint powder spilled out, but no one noticed the chaotic scene at the moment.

"Imperial Concubine, His Highness the Seventh Highness came up immediately, but the weather is too cold and His Highness has already turned blue." The head guard walked over nervously and said.

Concubine Wan Gui's face was slightly ugly, but she still tried her best to maintain the elegance and deterrence that a concubine should have.

She said with a gloomy face, "Quickly ask the medical officer to bring His Highness into the warm pavilion."

The guard immediately turned around and went out. After a while, a man who was stiff from the cold, his face turned blue and trembling was carried in. The maid hurriedly took the quilt and wrapped it tightly, and then someone began nervously preparing hot water for a bath.

This warm pavilion is very large, and there are compartments inside. At this time, it is already as warm as early summer.

Those maidservants were busy going back and forth with dry clothes and wet clothes. Of all the people, only Su Luo and the concubine Qian were the most leisurely, just sitting quietly drinking tea and eating a few mouthfuls of shortbread from time to time.

"The princess is so ruthless!" After a long while, Empress Qian suddenly said.

Su Luo turned his face and smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Luo'er doesn't know what the empress means!"

Seeing her like this, Concubine Qian just nodded and smiled lightly, without pointing out.

When the medical officer came, Concubine Wan Gui was about to lose her temper, and her noble concubine posture was almost gone.

"How is it?" she asked eagerly.

The medical officer Wang Wen Wenqie stood up and said: "Your Highness Seventh, this is a sign of cold air entering the body. The old minister will prescribe a few prescriptions and drink it. Maybe he will get a cold and then he must be made to sweat. Otherwise, the old minister is worried... Your Highness will not be able to bear it." past."

Concubine Wan Gui staggered a few steps, and the maid behind her tightly supported her.

"Hurry up and decoct the medicine for me. If there is anything wrong with His Highness, none of you here will try to get out alive." She said viciously.

When Qian Lingjue came back from the outside, he knew that Su Luo had been summoned into the palace by Concubine Wan Gui, so he entered the palace without stopping.

"Have you heard that someone fell into the water at Concubine Wan Gui's place, and it seems that his life is in danger!" He heard this sentence just as he walked to the door of Jianzhangmen.

His heart tightened, and the speed on his feet accelerated again.

When he came to the Nuan Pavilion of the artificial lake, seeing the busy people coming in and out, he felt even more excited.

Covering his mouth and nose with a towel, he coughed lightly and walked in.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!" When the maidservants saw him, they knelt down and saluted one by one.

Su Luo sat inside and heard those people's address, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch: "Your Majesty, sit down, Luoer go out for a while."

Concubine Qian looked outside and nodded clearly.

Outside the door, a man in a white robe was walking in, with an indelible worry in his eyes.

When Su Luo saw him, he called out, "Jue!"

Qian Lingjue looked up, and when he saw her standing there safe and sound, he seemed to be deeply relieved, and then a rare gentle smile appeared on his cold face.

Walking past, he gently took her somewhat chilly hand, and said in a earnest voice, "Why did you come out when it's so cold outside!" A bit of blame and a bit of concern.

Su Luo smiled lightly: "Since when did I become so delicate, it's just that your Seventh Emperor Brother doesn't want to be more expensive this time."

Looking at her gloating eyes, Qian Lingjue was almost certain that she had done something bad.

"You are so courageous. This is not the Prince's Mansion. If you are caught, I will kill you!" He lightly scratched her delicate nose, gently making the maidservants who walked by him feel ashamed.

Although they seldom see His Highness the Crown Prince, they all know that he is cold and ruthless, and treats everyone with a cold appearance, but today...

At this moment, the servant girl's exclamation came from inside: "Imperial Concubine, what's wrong with you?"

"Bring a medical officer to the palace, hurry up!" Concubine Wan Gui seemed to be holding back something.

When Su Luo and Qian Lingjue walked in, the maid hurried out.

"Concubine Qian!" Qian Lingjue cupped his hands slightly when he saw her, "I don't know when what happened to the imperial concubine?"

Concubine Qian was a little bit embarrassed, and it took her a long time to say: "I don't know why the whole body of Concubine Gui suddenly feels extremely itchy, and the diarrhea is quite serious..."

In fact, she had already said this matter very implicitly. Concubine Wan Gui suddenly felt itchy all over her body just now, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't move at this moment because of diarrhea.

Qian Lingjue's expression flickered, and he looked at Su Luo, who was beside him as if nothing had happened, and began to silently pray for the two inside.

The medical officer came in a hurry, and it was funny to see him panting.

"Hurry up and cure me, or I will kill you!" Concubine Wan Gui was almost out of breath at the moment.

The imperial doctor said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, this is a manifestation of dissatisfaction with the environment. It is impossible to cure as soon as possible. The old minister can only prescribe some medicine for you to take first. Although you are itchy, you really have no symptoms, so the old minister thinks it's okay It is useless to apply ointment."

"Then what should I do?" She wanted to catch her but was worried that her image as a noble concubine would be recognized, so she could only bear it aggrieved.

The medical officer thought about it for a while, and finally made up his mind and said, "Perhaps taking a medicinal bath will have some effect." This was the only way he could think of.

Concubine Wan Gui swept all the things on the table beside her to the ground, and glared at the medical officer, "Hurry up and get it for me!"

The medical officer was trembling with fright, turned around and started to get busy in a hurry.

Concubine Qian sighed and took the position just now: "Concubine Wan Gui is really unlucky today, why did she get sick for no reason!"

When it was over, the corner of his eye flashed across Su Luo's smiling cheek.

"Have you informed Father?" Qian Lingjue asked.

Concubine Qian shook her head: "The imperial concubine refused, saying that she was worried that her appearance would frighten the emperor, so I can't bear it myself."

Qian Lingjue smiled coldly: "It's really a woman, such an illness doesn't damage her prestige."

Although it is a compliment, it is also ironic.

Su Luo looked at it lightly from the side without saying a word, and there was a little gloating in his expression, but he couldn't see it unless he looked carefully.

Throughout the afternoon, this warm pavilion was in constant chaos, and the death of these things was caused by Su Luo's few small actions.
