In the evening, Chu Mian put the prepared medicinal meal into the food box and carried the food box to Yikun Palace.
Today's Yikun Palace is like a cold palace.
Chu Mian looked at the withered and desolate look here, curled up his lips, and then knocked on the door of Yikun Palace.
The door quickly opened from the inside. As soon as Linfang, the steward of Yikun Palace, saw her, she immediately greeted her warmly: "It turns out to be the Crown Princess, please come in."
"I won't come. This medicinal meal is what your queen asked for. I have already prepared it. I believe that you have also heard the news that the little bitch in Zhongcuigong is sick. It all depends on your queen whether you want to make it or not.
That’s it.”
Chu Mian was dressed very thickly and had a hood on his head. After saying that, he put the food box at the door, turned around and left.
She was covered up so tightly that if you didn't take a closer look, you would never recognize her.
Aunt Linfang was stunned for a moment when she saw her leave after saying these words. Then she quickly leaned out and looked around to make sure no one saw her, and then she quickly went in with the food box.
In the Yikun Palace, the former Imperial Concubine Wei was now a concubine with a sallow complexion and a skeletal figure.
It didn't seem like a long time had passed since she was demoted and relegated to the cold palace, but her whole person seemed to have aged twenty years.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Chu has just arrived." Aunt Linfang entered the room carrying a food box and repeated Concubine Chu's words. As soon as she opened the food box, the aroma of medicinal food immediately spread into the room.
At this time, the fifth princess happened to come over.
As soon as she smelled the fragrance, her eyes immediately opened and she rushed over to eat the medicinal food in the food box.
Aunt Linfang was so frightened that she quickly stopped her: "Fifth Princess! You can't eat this!"
"Why can't I eat? I'm so hungry! I'm about to starve to death! The gang of slaves in the imperial kitchen who are just like the slaves don't let us have enough to eat every day! The Wei family is also a bunch of white-eyed wolves, knowing that we are in the palace.
Life is hard, but you don’t know how to send money in! There is clearly a dish of porridge and rice here, but you don’t let me eat it, do you want me to starve to death!"
Only a year has passed, and the fifth princess, who is now six years old, has grown a lot taller, but also lost a lot of weight.
At this moment, she was like a hungry wolf pouncing on food, clinging to the edge of the table while Aunt Linfang hugged her waist tightly.
On the side, when Wei Concubine saw this, her somewhat rigid eyes moved. Looking at her incompetent daughter, she suddenly stood up and went over, and hit the fifth princess hard on the face with two consecutive slaps!
Just listen to two crisp sounds of "pop!"
Blood flowed from the lips of the fifth princess.
The fifth princess glared at Concubine Wei bitterly, but she did not dare to clamor to eat it any more.
"This thing is not for you to eat! It is for Yu Jiujiu to eat!" Wei Bin said coldly, then she frowned and said to Aunt Linfang, "Give this food box to Ning Bin! Let her
Take the Eighth Prince with you and deliver the things to Yu Jiujiu! It’s best for the emperor to feed Yu Jiujiu himself!”
"Yes, Madam." Miss Linfang agreed quickly, covered the food box, and carried it out.
The fifth princess wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and ran out.
When Wei Concubine saw this, she didn't take it to heart.
This is the way she gets along with the fifth princess now. She is too lazy to say anything to the fifth princess. In short, she will beat her if she disobeys. The fifth princess will get angry and run out, and then go back by herself soon.
Aunt Linfang carried the food box and carefully walked out of Yikun Palace and walked to the west.
It was cold in winter, so she wore a hood and hid from people all the way, but no one noticed her.
Not long after, she entered a courtyard.
When Ning Bin saw her, she was startled, but she quickly welcomed her in.
"What's in this food box is what the empress told you last time. Ning Bin, you were able to be where you are today because of the favor of the empress. Although you are not as favored as Concubine De and Concubine Shu, at least you have the eighth prince.
The emperor still values you very much. Now, it’s time for you to repay your kindness. If you don’t want to repay your kindness, it doesn’t matter. Just tell your mother-in-law, and the evidence in her hand about your father’s corruption and perversion of the law will be solved.
It will be immediately sent to the Emperor’s Hall of Mental Cultivation where the memorials will be corrected.”
Aunt Linfang didn't say much nonsense. She put down the food box and started talking intimidatingly, which made Ning Bin's face turn pale.
Knowing that Ning Bin could not let go of anything, Aunt Linfang said soothingly, "Don't worry, at most you will be implicated in this matter. The Eighth Prince is still young, and the Emperor will not blame him. He will be punished in the future."
Find a favored concubine to be the mother-in-law. The empress has said that she will find a way to let Empress Ning raise the eighth prince.
"Empress Ning still has no children, so she will definitely be willing.
"In this way, if the Eighth Prince follows Queen Ning, he will be the legitimate son in the future. It is much better than following you. He may even become the Crown Prince in the future, don't you think so?"
After Aunt Linfang's words, what else does Ning Bin have to say?
Not to mention that Concubine Wei was indeed kind to her back then, saved her life, and allowed her to have a son by the emperor's favor, but the facts about her father that Concubine Wei held in her hands made her unable to fight with him at all.
Concubine Wei resists.
"Don't worry, aunt. Please tell your Majesty that I will definitely accomplish this for you." Ning Bin said immediately and respectfully.
"Um."
Aunt Linfang was very satisfied with her attitude, explained a few more details, and then left.
Ning Bin stared at the food box with a pale face, but soon she sighed deeply, took the food box with the Eighth Prince, and walked all the way to Zhongcui Palace.
There is no one in Zhongcui Palace at the moment.
In the morning, Yu Jiujiu fell ill, and the news spread. The Queen Mother, Queen Ning, and Concubine De all came to visit her.
It wasn't until Chu Hanchen said that her fever had gone down, but she needed to rest, and it was best not to have too many people here before tomorrow, that they reluctantly went back.
They all wanted to come over and have a look, but they were afraid of disturbing Yu Jiujiu's rest and making her condition worse.
So, at this time in the evening, only Emperor Xuanping was still worried, and he stayed here all afternoon.
At this time, while correcting the memorial, he occasionally glanced at Yu Jiu Jiu who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
"Daddy..." Suddenly, Yu Jiu Jiu opened her eyes and called out in a hoarse voice.
"Xiao Jiu'er!" Emperor Xuanping quickly put down the memorial in his hand and walked to the bedside. When he saw Xiao Naituan's face was red and she was coughing a little, he quickly ordered the palace servants to bring her medicine, "Xiao Jiu'er"
My dear, come and drink some medicine."
"No, it's so painful!" Yu Jiujiu immediately pushed it with her little hand and refused to take the medicine no matter what.
Just when Emperor Xuanping was in trouble, a gentle voice came from outside.
But it was Concubine Ning who came with a food box and held the little hand of the Eighth Prince: "Your Majesty, since the little princess doesn't want to take medicine, why not try this medicinal diet? It was a recipe that I went to the Taiyuan Hospital to ask for today.
, I heard it is very effective in treating wind and cold.”
