Queen's Development

Chapter 250
Hearing this, Yuzhi raised her thick eyebrows: How could it be so simple?
Alan saw it, and immediately said: "The third son is also coming!"

Yuzhi nodded: "Please come in!"

After she came, she saw that Lin Yi treated her well and seemed not to want to offend her, so she was puzzled.

After thinking about it just now, Yuzhi finally understood that Lin Yi originally wanted to plant Lin Jia on the grounds that Lin Tao, the king of Xingping County, fell ill, and then forced Lin Jia to agree to make him the son of the king of Xingping County. Madam planted spoils on Lin Jia, and showed affection to Yu Zhi.

If such a guess is made, it is reasonable for Lin Yi to come along, and he will definitely interfere with Madam Ping's confession of the truth!

It was the time when the sun was setting, and the setting sun was shining on the gardenias in the courtyard. Yu Zhi felt a little hot, so she asked Ah Lan, "Why is there no ice in the house?"

A Lan hurriedly said: "Qi concubine, I asked the third son, and the third son said that the palace relies on the little Zonglu to live on every year. Now that the Zonglu has decreased and the population of the palace is large, how can we afford ice?" ?”

Yuzhi looked at the green gardenia branches protruding from the red lacquered railing, got up and walked towards the bright room, and said in her mouth: "Han Lin, you and A Lan will go out together in a while, and you go to see the third young lady, the third young master." Did Mrs. and the third young lady use ice? If they use ice, let them send some ice to the old prince and me! If they don't use ice, it doesn't matter, go ask the housekeeper , you check the accounts in front of the third young lady!"

Both she and Ah Yin are afraid of the heat, and it is difficult to live without ice. If Lin Yi and his wife eat ice alone, she must squeeze some out; even if there is no ice in the palace, she will force the housekeeper to buy it. Thought she didn't know the annual income of the county palace!

The most important thing is that she wants Han Lin to use the account check as an excuse to delay the third young lady, Qiao Shi, and buy Li Rui time to search the inner courtyard!
Han Lin hurriedly answered "Yes".

Seeing this, Qingcha got up hesitantly, and handed the fan embroidered with phalaenopsis orchids to Yuzhi.

Yuzhi glanced at Qingcha with a smile, but didn't say much.

At this time, Jin'er had already raised the thin bamboo silk curtain on the door, and Yuzhi walked in gracefully, waving her fan.

Qingcha also walked in, and said timidly, "Yuzhi, I'll make you a mint honey tea!"

She knew that it was not the past now, that Yuzhi was no longer her little sister, but a side concubine, she could no longer call Yuzhi by her name, but she often blurted out the wrong name, fortunately Yuzhi never cared about these things.

Alan was also a little hot, and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Seeing this, Han Lin silently handed over his silk handkerchief.

Alan smiled at Han Lin, squinted at the hot sunset, wiped off the sweat on his face, then folded the silk handkerchief and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, then said in a low voice : "Let's go!"

Ye Ling and Ye Bi watched this scene clearly.

Seeing Ye Bi, she pursed her lips and smiled.

Ye Ling was a little unhappy, frowning as he watched Han Lin and Alan walk away together, and then asked Ye Bi in a low voice: "Abi, do you think I look better or Han Lin?"

Ye Bi picked a snow-white gardenia, sniffed it at the tip of her nose, smiled slightly, and said, "Of course I think you are beautiful, but Xi Shi is in the eyes of lovers, and Hanlin is probably more beautiful in Ah Lan's eyes!"

Ye Ling was not happy to hear such words, so she snorted and went to her and Abi's room in the west wing.

Ye Bi watched Ye Ling walk away, but she refused to leave, and still stayed here waiting for orders from inside.

It didn't take long for Alan to come over again, followed by three sons, Lin Yi, Fei Ying, and a woman in white who was brought over by two feather guards.

Yu Zhi was shaking her fan, when she heard Jin Er's announcement from outside, she said, "Come in, everyone!"

Lin Yi entered the Ming Room, and immediately saw Yuzhi sitting leaning on the small kang table.

It was the setting sun at this time, the main room was facing south, the light was a little dim, but Yu Zhi's snow-white and crystal clear face lit up the whole room like a bright moon.

Lin Yi's heart beat a little faster, he let out a breath slowly, and cupped his hands: "Bai Fangfei, this matter interferes a lot, I have to be present!"

Yuzhi didn't seem to care, she pointed at the bamboo armchair by the west wall with her fan: "Third Young Master, please sit down!"

Feiying escorted Mrs. Ping into the bright room.

Mrs. Ping saw Yuzhi first, and a pair of dim eyes seemed to ignite a cluster of small flames, but when she saw Lin Yi sitting on the west side, the flames were extinguished immediately, leaving only a dead silence in her eyes.

She bent down, bent her left knee first, and waited until her left knee touched the ground, then curled her right knee with difficulty, and knelt on the ground.

Yuzhi ordered lightly: "Ye Bi, go get a cushion and let Mrs. Ping sit on the cushion and talk back!"

Ye Bi quickly took a thick brocade mat, placed it beside Madam Ping, and helped Madam Ping to sit down on the brocade mat.

Lin Yi lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes fluttered, her eyes were deep and deep, but there was nothing much about them.

Qingcha sat on the footrest of the Luohan bed, leaning tightly on Yuzhi's leg.

Yuzhi's legs were pressed against the green tea, and she was sweating profusely, but she knew that it was the time when the green tea felt insecure, so she didn't push the green tea away.

Seeing Ye Bi come out with a pen and paper again, laying down on the kang table to make a record, Yuzhi looked at Mrs. Ping and said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Ping, what happened the night the old prince fell ill? Remember your memories carefully, and you must not tell lies!"

Mrs. Ping said "yes" in a trembling voice, lowered her head and began to think, with her left hand resting on the brocade mat, her body trembling slightly.

After a while, she looked at Yu Zhi, with a hint of pleading in her eyes: "Bai Fangfei, can you let the irrelevant people step down?"

Yuzhi immediately said: "Ye Bi stay, everyone else go out!"

When only Yu Zhi, Lin Yi, Han Lin and Mrs. Ping were left in the morning, Mrs. Ping lowered her head and said in a low voice, "That night the prince said he was going to rest at Aunt Huang's place, so I got the news and stopped waiting. , took a shower and fell asleep. I turned on the bed for a while, and then fell asleep dimly, but was woken up by a loud noise. When I heard it, I found that the prince was here, and I was actually a little puzzled. But the prince is already here, so I have to get up."

Her voice didn't fluctuate, as if she was narrating something irrelevant to her: "The prince is drunk and has drunk a lot, but he insists on hugging me."

Mrs. Ping raised her eyes and glanced at Yuzhi. She was really embarrassed to tell the story of the old prince Lin Tao's room in front of her son's side concubine, she bit her lips, and her voice became weaker: "Who knows that just after entering, the prince suddenly froze. There, the corners of the mouth started to bleed, and the nose also started to bleed."

Yuzhi was really embarrassed, she sat there expressionless.

Lin Yi had actually heard Mrs. Ping's speech before, and it was nothing to do with it, but when he heard Mrs. Ping say this in front of Yuzhi, his face was also a little red, and he lowered his eyes, without saying a word.

Mrs. Ping wiped her tears vigorously, and raised her voice: "It took less than a cup of tea for my lord to come into my room. How could it be me? It is obvious that the lord had already eaten the tea before he came to me. It's the medicine to cheer up!"

Lin Yijun's face was covered with a layer of chill, and he said sharply: "Mrs. Ping, how dare you slander my father? It's obvious that you harbored evil intentions and murdered my father!"

Mrs. Ping was originally forced by the situation and dared not say anything, but now that Yuzhi came, she suddenly had some hope, so she felt like breaking the boat, staring at Lin Yi with a pair of wonderful eyes, and said loudly: "Third Young Master , is it a secret for the prince to take medicine in the Xingping county palace?"

Seeing that Mrs. Ping hadn't got to the point, Yuzhi said calmly: "My lord has so many concubines, alas!"

Lin Yi showed embarrassment, and reluctantly said: "Father is a scholar. Scholars all pay attention to reading at night with red sleeves and fragrance."

He couldn't speak anymore, so he had to shut up.

Mrs. Ping heard Yuzhi's words - "Your Majesty has so many concubines", her heart moved, and she immediately looked at Yuzhi.

Yuzhi looked at her and blinked slowly.

Mrs. Ping immediately became alert, looked at Yuzhi, and her voice was clear and hoarse: "Bai Fangfei, the prince loves Aunt Huang the most, please send someone to Aunt Huang's room to search thoroughly, no, please Send people to search the rooms of all the concubines of the lord, as well as the study of the lord, and see how many things we can find!"

Yu Zhi's words reminded her that the matter of the prince taking the medicine is true, if the prince's dozens of concubines can be dragged into the water, then she might escape death!

Lin Yi snorted immediately and said, "It's late today, let's search tomorrow!"

He was indeed careless, but he never searched the houses of his father's concubines and put away the evidence, so it's better to delay it for a while now.

Yuzhi smiled slightly and thought to herself: Why isn't Li Rui here yet?
At this moment, there was a burst of noisy footsteps outside, followed by Jin'er's pleasantly surprised voice: "To my side concubine, Steward Li has arrived!"

Yuzhi looked over with a smile in her eyes.
