Chapter 27
Happy to see the results
Li Yuyan knelt down and saluted: "I have seen the Concubine Xian."
"How polite." Concubine Xian smiled more and more amiably, "This morning you helped the emperor expose the fake miracle doctor. As an elder, I am deeply gratified."
As she spoke, she grabbed Li Yuyan's hand and said, "We haven't seen each other for a while. I miss you so much. I specially invite you to come here."
"The empress is concerned, but the servant is frightened." Li Yuyan bowed her head and answered meekly.
Seeing this, Concubine Xian smiled and nodded, pulled her to sit down, raised her hand and asked the palace maid to serve tea and snacks.
After casually chatting about some household matters, Concubine Xian stepped back and put down the tea cup in her hand: "It has been quite a while since you returned to Beijing. Have you figured out what to do?"
Li Yuyan said calmly: "My daughter is stupid, please let me know clearly."
Concubine Xian immediately frowned: "You can expose the fake miracle doctor. The emperor said you are smart. Do you really not understand what I said that day?"
Li Yuyan said ignorantly: "On that day, the empress told me why the Li family was granted the title of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. I thought about it for a long time and knew that my contribution was not small. The empress was so kind to the Li family, and I could not think of it.
In return, I can only shed tears of gratitude."
"That's all, you are just old enough to have haircuts, so I will allow you to think more about it." A sinister look flashed in Concubine Xian's eyes, which disappeared in the blink of an eye, and then she smiled and changed the topic, "My cousin also knows that you and Man Ting are the same.
I don’t want to marry the prince, after all, the prince..."
He did not continue talking, but looked at Li Yuyan quietly to see if she could ask her question.
Li Yuyan curled her lips under her veil and said, "Empress, how is your highness?"
His voice was anxious and his concern was palpable.
The Concubine Xian sighed softly and said: "The prince is suffering from cold illness today, and even though the doctors have gone there, there is no improvement."
Hearing this, Li Yuyan frowned.
Seeing this, Concubine Xian suddenly felt that an opportunity had come, and lowered her voice to comfort: "As an elder, I am willing to see you have a good future. If you and the prince set a wedding date, then the prince will be married within a few days.
…”
His voice was choked and his words were sad, as if he was caring for the younger generation.
"Empress?"
"Are you still seeing strangers like this?" Concubine Xian sniffed and patted the back of her hand lovingly, "Call me cousin."
Li Yuyan felt nauseated in her heart, and she suppressed it before calling softly: "Cousin."
"Today you go to see the prince and bring something for me. Just say it's your own wish." Concubine Xian stood up, took a food box from the shelf and put it in front of Li Yuyan, "Open it and take a look.
"
Li Yuyan opened it and took a look. The three layers inside were filled with pastries. They were small and exquisite. If you smelled them carefully, there was nothing wrong with them.
At this time, a cheerful voice came from outside.
"Mother Concubine——"
Hearing the sound, Concubine Xian smiled and said to Li Yuyan, "The King of Liang is here."
Li Yuyan put down the lid of the box and turned around to see a handsome young man walking in quickly.
The visitor's thin lips are slightly hooked, the bridge of his nose is high and his eyebrows are long. He has a brocade robe and a jade crown, a jade belt and brocade boots. He is well-dressed and elegant.
Li Yuyan saluted: "I have met His Highness Prince Liang."
When the man saw her, he smiled slightly and said, "No courtesy."
His eyes were clearly smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes, as if he was arrogant.
"Mother, the pastries here are very exquisite. Can my son eat a few pieces?"
While speaking, King Liang stretched out his hand to pinch the cake, but Concubine Xian patted the back of his hand.
"These are what Yuyan wants to give to the prince. Yours are left in the kitchen."
A trace of panic flashed in Concubine Xian's eyes, but she quickly calmed down. Seeing this, Li Yuyan started to worry.
She closed the lid, picked up the food box, and said goodbye to Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian smiled and nodded, then raised her hand and sent two maids to escort Li Yuyan to the East Palace.
Just after leaving the main hall of Chenglan Palace, Prince Liang's voice came from inside: "Is that the ugly girl of the Li family just now?"
"Keep your voice down, he just left."
"The mother and concubine are worried too much, she can't hear it." Prince Liang smiled contemptuously.
After all, she is an ugly girl. Compared with Man Ting, she is really in a league of her own.
Li Yuyan tilted her head slightly and raised her eyebrows slightly.
After walking for two quarters of an hour, Li Yuyan stopped when he saw that the gate of the East Palace was not far ahead.
"Sisters, two palace maids, I will go to the East Palace by myself. It looks like it is going to rain. If my sisters don't turn back immediately, I'm afraid they will get caught in the rain."
Everyone in the East Palace has eccentricities, and they don't want to see people from Chenglan Palace. The two palace ladies know that they cannot enter the East Palace. If they really get caught in the rain, they will not be able to seek treatment from the imperial doctor due to their status.
In the cold spring season, getting wet in the rain is the most unavoidable thing.
Thinking of this, the two palace maids declared that it was a blessing to their bodies and quickly turned back.
Seeing them trotting away, Li Yuyan took the food box and hid in the corner of the wall.
Putting the food box on the ground, she took out a piece of pastry and opened it.
She was so angry that she threw the cake to the ground.
The virtuous concubine is vicious!
The pastry is stuffed with broken intestine powder!
No wonder Concubine Xian refused to let King Liang eat it and asked her to give it to the prince in her own name.
Once it is given away, regardless of whether the prince eats it or not, she will become an unjust ghost.
A strong wind suddenly struck, and heavy rain fell suddenly.
——
At this moment in Chenglan Palace, Concubine Xian looked at the rain curtain and laughed sarcastically.
Today, Li Yuyan did not agree to help her on the spot, nor did she refuse.
This is the most authentic reaction.
If she agreed all at once, she would be afraid that Ye Yiheng would suspect her and increase her vigilance.
The situation now is very good.
The rain was so heavy that Li Yuyan could only be trapped in the East Palace.
The prince died suddenly after eating a pastry. The only person who could not be blamed was Li Yuyan.
Prince Liang was sitting at the table, eating cakes leisurely: "Is it really just because the concubine didn't let her son eat from the food box just because the box was going to be given to the prince?"
"You kid, can't you even shut your mouth with food?" Concubine Xian turned around and smiled gently, "Look at you, you are such a big person, why are you still acting like a child? There are crumbs of cakes in the corners of your mouth.
.”
With a faint smile on his face, King Liang wiped away the debris: "A son will always be a child in the eyes of his mother and concubine."
"That's natural. You and Lao Qi are both the children of the mother-in-law, and everything the mother-in-law does is for you two brothers!"
King Liang lowered his head and took a big bite of the pastry.
The Concubine Xian was very kind to him. She often ate and praised him, and gave him a large gift package during the holidays.
As for the seventh brother, she was much stricter. Although the food was similar, she praised very little and even scolded her. For this reason, the seventh brother was very motivated.
When he was young, he thought that Concubine Xian loved him more than his seventh brother.
It wasn't until he was older that he realized that this was a form of flattery.
Raise him to love vanity and always follow his wishes.
Even when her father scolded him, she would immediately stand up to protect him. After his father scolded him, she would praise him nonstop, making him get carried away.
The most sinister plot to destroy a person is to kill him.
The reason is that the seventh brother is her flesh and blood, and he was just raised under her knees after his biological mother died.
She always thought he was unknown, but she didn't know that he already knew it.
Now, she has to deal with the prince, and she is naturally happy to see the result.
No need to waste a single soldier, just sit back and reap the benefits.
Very good!
