palace heart

Chapter 11
Although he didn't say it clearly, Li Qianlan understood what Yurong meant. He didn't approve of Li Qianlan asking for that ginseng plant, but he didn't stop Li Qianlan from asking Empress Dowager Gao either.

When Li Qianlan arrived at the Dexuan Palace, she didn't need to pass the news, and the maid let her go.Empress Dowager Gao is waiting for her!
Entering the main palace, seeing the lazy and noble empress dowager, Li Qianlan knelt down and bowed, "The empress dowager is a thousand years old!"

Empress Dowager Gao glanced at her, "How is your mother? Are you awake?"

He clearly knew what he was asking for, but Empress Dowager Gao didn't even mention it. Anyway, she couldn't escape from Empress Dowager Gao's grasp now, so she simply said, "I beg Empress Dowager to save my mother's life!"

Empress Dowager Gao knew that since then, Li Qianlan has sincerely worked for her, whether she wants to or not!After achieving the goal, Empress Dowager Gao did not force Li Qianlan too much, and said, "Zhong Shanggong."

"Yes." Zhong Shanggong agreed, and handed over the ginseng that had been prepared to Li Qianlan.

Li Qianlan took the ginseng, raised her hands above her head, and said almost word by word: "Thank you Empress Dowager for a thousand years! Thousand years! Thousand years!"

Li Qianlan didn't remember how she got out of the main palace, and how she returned to the hut where Li Jiangshi lived. When she closed the door, the young man named Yu Rong she had seen before was sitting where she usually sat.He was not surprised that Li Qianlan got the ginseng, and still looked at him with that faint smile.

A gentle smile like a breeze, not only can't suppress the anger in Li Qianlan's heart, but it is like a bucket of oil, dripping on her heart.The word has been delivered, why hasn't he left yet!Look at your own joke!She, Li Qianlan, no matter how miserable she is, it's not up to others to laugh at her!For a moment, she wanted to tear the boy's face apart!

"Ling's mother is only suffering from cold, excessive sorrow and joy, and she is desperate to die, so she is seriously ill. Although the head injury is serious, a ginseng plant is enough to save her life." Yukong smiled lightly, as if he had been arrested He still said in a leisurely tone, "Because she is determined to die, so even if she is angry, it is not enough to wake her up. Human will plays a big role. As for the half plant of ginseng , Let your mother take half of the plant. I will give you another prescription for nourishing qi, don’t wait for your mother to wake up, and see you looking haggard and want to die.”

Sad and happy, looking for death?
Li Qianlan is a smart person, it's just that he is in the middle of the game and no one can point him out.Now being awakened by Yu Rong, everything that I can't figure out has been figured out.Why is the mother who loves her like this, why the mother who never beat her, but beat her hard in prison, why the mother wants to die!
Kneeling on the ground with a plop, Li Qianlan grabbed her skirt and cried out silently, with the word "mother" stuck in her throat, it was clearly a heart-piercing call, but it could only be turned into a silent cry.

Seeing Li Qianlan like this, the boy sighed quietly that he was troubled.Let the flat clothes crumpled into a ball, ignore it, push the door and go out.When the door was closed, a hearty male voice came from outside, "I said you don't need to be troublesome, she didn't bully you..."

Li Qianlan knelt and walked to the bed, put her head in Li Jiangshi's arms, and murmured:

"Mother, I'm sorry, it's my daughter who is not good, she shouldn't blame you."

"Mother, wake up quickly, you want to watch your daughter become a palace, call the wind and rain, and whip those who bullied you."

"Mother, my daughter hasn't combed your hair for you yet."

"Mother, you haven't said that your daughter is so beautiful, even more beautiful than the emperor's concubine."

"Mother, my daughter hasn't told you yet, but the person my daughter likes is handsome and chic."

"mother……"

When it came to the end, Li Qianlan didn't know what she was talking about. She just wanted to tell her what she had never said to her mother in the past ten years, wishing her mother would know.If only she was just an ordinary Li Qianlan!Even if it's extremely ugly, even if it's an idiot!As long as I can live an ordinary life with my mother, that's fine!
I don't know how long she cried, Li Qianlan only felt a slight sinking on her back, a pair of gentle hands gently stroking her back, and a slightly cool hand clasped on her vest, although it was slightly cool, it made her feel uncomfortable. She felt warmer than when she was on duty.

"Squeak..." The door opened.

Li Qianlan was startled when she heard the voice, and fell off the bed. She looked up and saw that Li Jiangshi's chest was wet, and she was still lying on the bed motionless.It turned out to be just a dream!

He wiped his face indiscriminately, turned his back to the visitor and said, "What is it?"

Li Qianlan wiped her face indiscriminately, and heard a slow voice behind her: "I have boiled the medicine, if you don't drink it soon, the medicine will be cold."

After speaking, as if he didn't see Li Qianlan's distressed appearance, he went straight to the table and put down the food box. "Drink the medicine quickly, and the queen mother will come to announce your duties after a while."

After listening, Li Qianlan quickly took the bowl from Yurong and drank it up in a few sips. She believed that Empress Dowager Gao would not poison at this time, so there was no need to worry about anything.Instead, it was Li Jiang's bowl of medicine. She took a sip first, and then slowly fed it to her mother.

Li Qianlan's purpose in doing this was to test the poison with her own body, and her distrust of Yurong was undoubtedly revealed.She has calmed down now. Before seeing this boy, Empress Dowager Gao knew that Li Qianlan needed ginseng, and she was afraid that Empress Dowager Gao did it on purpose.It's just that she still doesn't understand, Empress Dowager Gao can let Zhong Shanggong or Lin Shanggong tell herself, why did she find this young man?Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity to tell her that Empress Dowager Gao was raising a confinement man in the harem?
While feeding the medicine, Li Qianlan stared at the young man, disbelieving his guess even more.Even if a young man is ignorant, it is not a glorious thing to be a woman's slave.But seeing Yurong's expression, she didn't look like she was forced to stay, her demeanor was calm and leisurely, like a boy walking among the fairy mountains.The more I looked at it, the more I felt that this was the case, and I thought that the boy came here to save her mother, but there was a conflict with my previous guess, so I couldn't help but tangle my eyebrows.

Seeing that Li Qianlan couldn't figure it out, Yurong smiled lightly, and didn't want to explain anything, but said: "Hurry up, or after a while, even if you don't believe me, I will feed the medicine for you."

Li Qianlan blushed upon hearing this.Yurong knew that she didn't believe him, so she looked at him a little guilty, but only saw his calm and indifferent expression, without any displeasure.The guilt in my heart became heavier, "I'm sorry, I have to be careful."

Yu Rong nodded and got up to go out.At first he didn't want to explain, but changed his mind. "You and I can work together in the future, so I beg the queen mother to let me see you. I don't want you to owe the queen mother too much. If there are other ways to wake up your mother, I will naturally pretend that I don't know the queen mother's intentions and save her. Her." It's just that, what he said before, every sentence of truth, there is no other way than using ginseng.

Li Qianlan slowed down the movements in his hands thoughtfully, and after a little thought, he understood the boy's intentions.There is no love without reason, and there is no hate without reason.By doing this, Yurong will not only not make her feel good, but will only think of his purpose of showing favor.Now that I think about it, I want to work with him. She is hostile to the queen mother and doesn't hinder her from doing things, but if it is to Yurong, it may become fatal.He did this because he didn't want her to be hostile to him again.

After figuring it out, Li Qianlan said, "Qianlan understands, thank you."

Seeing her words, Yu Rong was still a little puzzled, probably because she didn't understand why she had to go against Queen Mother Gao's intention, so go help her. "You are not the only one who is forced to do so, but if I do this, it will only make the queen mother dissatisfied, but I will be fine. Yurong is alone, and you are not afraid of the queen mother's blame. It is better for you to receive less favor from the queen mother."

After that, he pushed open the door.But he saw a rough-looking man in a black suit standing outside the door.Li Qianlan was shocked. She didn't know how long the man had been standing outside and heard how many conversations they had.

Seeing someone eavesdropping outside, Yu Rong was not surprised, but said: "Jinghua, you will frighten her like this."

Li Qianlan breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't know that person, but that person was very familiar with Yurong, so the conversation between her and Yurong just now would not have reached the Queen Mother's ears.I was uneasy in my heart, but I also remembered Yurong's words, Empress Dowager Gao might tell me to go later.

After feeding the medicine and wiping off the medicine that came out of Li Jiangshi's mouth, a palace maid knocked on the door. "Qianlan, the empress dowager sent you over."

What should come will come!

Li Qianlan covered Li Jiangshi with a quilt and went to the main palace.In the past few days, she stayed by her mother's side every step of the way, knowing nothing about the outside world.After going out, I found that many people were whispering along the way, and I suddenly had a strange feeling in my heart.

When Li Qianlan walked to the main hall and was waiting for someone to communicate, suddenly the bell rang in the central palace.Reminiscent of Empress Dowager Gao mentioning to herself a few days ago that the Empress died... Li Qianlan didn't have any feelings for the Empress, she was just a little surprised that Empress Dowager Gao would strike so quickly!The queen was safe and sound three days ago, but only three days ago, unexpectedly, unexpectedly...

Li Qianlan could only feel a slight chill coming from behind her back. Although her face was calm, there was already a storm in her heart!

After waiting for a while, Zhong Shanggong came out in a hurry, saw Li Qianlan outside and said, "The Empress Dowager asked you to follow me to Liuyun Palace."

Li Qianlan followed Zhong Shanggong and trotted hurriedly towards Liuyun Palace, the queen's palace.On the way, the maids of low grade came across, and they saluted Zhong Shanggong one after another. Zhong Shanggong just nodded slightly, and left in a hurry.

"Qianlan?" An uncertain voice whispered.
