Chapter 254 The Miss Is Really Improper

Du Heng raised his eyes, a look of worry flashed in his eyes, and he said obediently: "Yes, aunt. It's just that Heng'er is a little worried..."

No amount of delicate makeup could conceal the woman's haggard look. The imperial concubine coughed lightly and said indifferently: "This disease is nothing more than that. Even if you stay here for months or years, it will only add to your troubles."

Tears slowly welled up in Du Heng's bright eyes, and he didn't speak.

At this time, the Du family was in a prosperous period of flowers and brocades. The emperor had not yet conferred the title, and Du Heng's aunt had the highest position in the harem.

Du Heng's father was an official to Shangshu, in charge of the entire household department, holding the court's money and food; there were also Du's family son Lang and Du's students as officials in the court.

It's just that the body of the noble concubine in the previous life gradually deteriorated, and the beauty faded away at a young age, and something happened to the Du mansion later...

Du Heng deeply hated her inability to cure the imperial concubine's illness, and was also afraid that she would never be able to change the established ending in her life...

I saw that the beauty of the imperial concubine's eyebrows and eyes was not diminished in the slightest because of the illness, and she said to Du Heng in the same tone as usual: "Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky. The Du mansion sent me to the palace that day, and I also enjoyed a few years of prosperity. As for what happens in the future, it all depends on God’s arrangement.”

Du Heng couldn't bear it anymore, tears streaming down his face, "Auntie!"

The noble concubine saw the fear in Du Heng's eyes clearly, but she didn't know where the emotion came from, she just thought that she was still young and couldn't easily see the parting of life and death.

She said lightly: "Okay. I don't need your company in the palace, so go home."

Du Heng collected his thoughts, wiped away the tears on his cheeks, and slowly regained his composure.

She knew that her aunt had always had resentment in her heart because the Du Mansion insisted on sending her into the palace that day, and she was not as close to her as before.

But in Du Heng's eyes, the imperial concubine is always the gentle and generous woman in her memory.

Over the years, she has always regarded her aunt as her role model.

She didn't want to disobey the other party, so she just responded in a low voice: "Heng'er is leaving today. It's just an aunt, what can I tell my father?"

The imperial concubine didn't even lift her eyelids, she said softly: "No, you go."

Du Heng glanced at the still beautiful face of the noble concubine for the last time, nodded in response, "Heng'er will leave."

The imperial concubine sent a maid to lead the way for Du Heng and sent her outside the palace.

When the two walked halfway, Du Heng heard the man's voice.

Seeing that Du Heng stopped suddenly, the maid thought she was afraid of meeting someone, so she comforted her and said, "Miss Du, don't be afraid. I heard that the palace is investigating the case, and the people who want to talk are the two newly appointed grown ups."

When Du Heng was in the imperial concubine's palace, he faintly heard the people in the palace talking about it, saying that the majesty's fall from the horse was artificial, and told everyone not to talk too much.

She had heard about this incident in her last life, and there was a big commotion in the capital at that time, so it seems that the emperor has sent someone to investigate?
And this voice, even in a dream, she would never admit it wrong!
Du Heng smiled at the maid, his heart was beating wildly, and even his palms were sweating a lot.

She stopped in her tracks, and asked curiously: "Can there still be a foreigner in the palace to investigate the case?"

The maid didn't want to cause more trouble, but she couldn't take Du Heng away bluntly, so she had to tactfully say: "In special seasons, as long as there is the emperor's will, it is naturally possible. It's just that the imperial concubine is sick now, and she can't bear to be contaminated with these things."

The maid took a step forward, but seeing that the other party hadn't followed, she looked back at Du Heng with a puzzled expression on her face.

When Du Heng heard Lin Zhi's voice, how could he move forward?There had already been waves in her heart, but she was used to not showing it on the face, and others couldn't see it.

The maid looked at Du Heng: "Miss Du?"

Du Heng smiled, pressed his fingernails on his palm involuntarily, and said to the maid in a calm voice: "I shouldn't have caused trouble for my aunt, but the voice just now is so familiar, I still want to go and have a look."

The maid didn't feel any difference.

Du Heng was originally a noble daughter who was sought after by the children of the aristocratic family in the capital. She knew many young and promising young talents, and she should.

It's just that the imperial concubine has closed the door to thank guests for recuperating for several months. If she intervenes at this time, she will be upset...

Seeing the hesitation in the palace maid's eyes, Du Heng said softly: "You don't have to worry. I just went over to see if the person investigating the case is a friend, and it won't cause trouble for the empress."

The maid had no choice, and she couldn't leave Du Heng alone, so she nodded and said: "In this case, this servant will accompany Miss Du. Miss Du knows the general situation, and she will definitely not embarrass the empress."

Du Heng smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

The palace maid took Du Heng to another direction, crossed a long and narrow bluestone road, and suddenly saw the light in front of her.

Du Heng saw the tall and straight figure in dark blue at a glance.

Lin Rong's side face was sharp like a knife, with an imposing manner.

At a glance, she saw the handsome and eye-catching face under that pressing aura.

Her heart suddenly jumped up, even her breathing became disordered, and she called out to the figure: "Mr. Lin!"

Lin Rong and Yao Chao were investigating the case separately, and were alone inquiring about the palace servants in various palaces when they suddenly heard a familiar voice and subconsciously looked back.

I saw Du Heng dressed in fancy clothes, and although her makeup looked like a girl's, it was also very formal.

Lin Zhi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to see her in the palace: "Miss Du?"

Du Heng pinched the hem of his skirt with both hands, walked briskly in front of Lin Rong, and said with a smile, "It really is Mr. Lin. When I passed by just now, the little girl thought she had heard wrong."

Lin Rong and Du Heng were not familiar with each other at all, because of a rescue, and Du Heng asked him to find some special things in Qingtong Town, so they said a few more words.

Now when they meet in the palace, Lin Rong is not as familiar as Du Heng.

He nodded lightly, and said to Du Heng, "Long time no see."

Du Heng walked in front of Lin Rong, saw the alienation between his brows and eyes, and calmed down for a while.

She regained her usual composure and dignity, and took the initiative to say: "I heard that Mr. Lin is investigating the case in the palace. Is there any way I can help you?"

The maids in the imperial concubine's palace stood far away, and Du Heng didn't speak loudly, so she didn't hear what she said, and it was just that Du Heng was greeting someone he knew well——

If she knew that Du Heng took the initiative to cause trouble for herself, she might be so angry that she would sue the imperial concubine.

Seeing that Du Heng offered to help, Lin Rong didn't speak immediately, but asked, "Where is the girl in the palace?"

Du Heng was clever, and after suppressing his joy at seeing Lin Rong, he could think that he had some scruples.

Her voice was gentle and slightly lowered, and she said: "Recently, the imperial concubine has been ill, and the little girl came to attend to the sick. Now the post in the palace is vacant, and several concubines are also arguing endlessly. If Mr. Lin wants to investigate the case , I'm afraid I still have to invite the imperial concubine to come forward."

Lin Zhi frowned slightly, thinking about Du Heng's words...

In this short period of time, Lin Zhi has indeed encountered resistance from all sides.

There are four concubines in the palace now, Lin Rong can't even touch the situation, but he can already feel the secret contest among the concubines.

Concubine Jing is the leader faintly in the harem, and the other concubines see what happened in Concubine Jing's palace, and they are all moved after hearing the news.

If Du Heng was there, maybe he wouldn't be blind.

It's just that as for what she said, she came forward to persuade the imperial concubine...

Lin Rong didn't want more forces to intervene.

Lin Rong looked at Du Heng, and said in a cold voice with no expression on his face: "I would like to ask Miss Du for a favor, but I wonder what Miss Du would like?"

It was rare that Lin Rong would take the initiative to talk to him, Du Heng was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face.

She smiled: "Mr. Lin, please tell me."

Lin Zhi said bluntly: "I'm not familiar with the harem, I hope the girl can tell you about the simple situation between the palaces."

Du Heng knew that he was cautious and didn't want to have anything to do with the imperial concubine's palace, so he secretly hated himself for being anxious.

On the surface, she was still interpreting the words: "Mr. Lin has to investigate such a complicated case when he first took office. It's a bit embarrassing. If you want to know anything, the young master will definitely know everything."

Lin Zhi thanked Du Heng again, and asked in a low voice about the situation of her palaces.

The two were talking, but they saw that the maid in the imperial concubine's palace couldn't bear it anymore, so she couldn't help but stepped forward to call Du Heng.

She respectfully said: "Miss, I wonder if I can leave the palace now? The empress is still waiting for the servants to return to their lives."

After finally bumping into Lin Rong in the palace, Du Heng was extremely unwilling to be disturbed by others, but he also knew that now was not the time to be self-willed.

She raised her eyes and looked at Lin Zhi: "I don't know if it is convenient for Mr. Lin to take a few steps with the little girl?"

Lin Rong had just asked a question and asked about a node, and he happened to be going to the next place, so he answered.

The two walked in front side by side, talking in a low voice.

The voice is not loud, just so there is no way for the people behind to hear clearly.

Although the maid felt that something was wrong, she didn't say much.

It's just that when she returns to the imperial concubine's place, she will naturally talk to her about how the young lady behaves——

The lady has lost her manners!
Du Heng noticed the gaze behind him, and a trace of impatience flashed deep in his eyes, which was quickly hidden.

She couldn't make trouble in front of Lin Rong, otherwise, how could she beat Yao Shu?
