Ye Tingyun was so frightened that she immediately withdrew her hand.
"No, why did you come out?"
It was purely an expedient measure for him to drag this woman in. It was such an unlucky coincidence that he happened to catch the mother-in-law coming out.
Concubine Li raised her eyes and looked over with a hint of admonishment.
"This is Lan'er's concubine. Although the etiquette is not complete, she is still half your sister-in-law. How can she be so rude!"
"I……"
Concubine Li glanced at her, and Ye Tingyun suddenly stopped.
"Concubine, I was the one who was rude."
It's quite docile to admit my mistake.
Concubine Li was silent and looked at Feng Yinwan behind him.
"This child in my palace is a little loose-minded, don't mind."
We haven’t seen each other for three years, but it’s still the same when we meet again.
Feng Yinwan shook his head, a warm smile appeared on his lips, "I don't dare."
The emperor was still critically ill, and Concubine Li had no intention of seeing anyone, but she had already come, so it was hard to invite people out again.
He raised his eyes to look at Feng Yinwan and said, "I have a few Jushuang trees here that are blooming just right. Concubine, let's go and see them together?"
It was rare that she was interested in admiring flowers, so Ye Tingyun immediately came forward after hearing the words.
"Mother, concubine, sons and ministers are also going together!"
The scene in Chunhe Palace was the same as before.
The frost-resistant planting place is not far from the koi pond. Winter is approaching and the hibiscus in the pond has withered, which makes the koi appear more clearly.
Feng Yinwan glanced at it and curled her lips, "Does the empress prefer Furong?"
The blue lotus has just faded, and the frost has bloomed again. The water and every tree are full of hibiscus.
Seeing her careful observation, Concubine Li nodded, and finally a smile appeared in her misty eyes.
"They were all rewarded by the previous saint, that's all. Does the concubine also know about flowers and plants?"
Feng Yinwan shook his head, "I only know a little bit."
In the third year of Xuanmen, planting medicinal herbs was the most common thing. There were also many flowers in the sect, and I got to know them better after serving them.
Concubine Li nodded and was about to say something else, when a gust of cool wind blew over her, but it blocked her.
For a moment, she covered her lips and couldn't help coughing, her face was pale compared to just now.
Feng Yinwan's eyes froze when she saw it, and her hand had already reached out to help him.
"Mother concubine!"
Ye Tingyun quickly turned around and frowned when he saw this. He looked at the palace man who was a few steps behind and suddenly shouted anxiously.
"Hurry up and help the concubine back. Don't let her blow the cold wind anymore."
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiu immediately stepped forward, supported Concubine Li and hurried back.
Ye Tingyun hurriedly wanted to follow him, but then he remembered that there was Feng Yinwan beside him, so he had to stop again and reluctantly opened his mouth to explain.
"My mother-in-law has an old illness. She has been worried about her father these days, so her body is weak, and she was just blown away by the cool breeze."
He looked at her, secretly feeling a little annoyed.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have brought people in.
Feng Yinwan was still thinking about Concubine Li's old illness, and when she heard this, she was sensible enough not to stay any longer.
"Since the noble concubine is unwell, I won't bother you anymore. King Yun will stay."
After saying that, she went straight out of the palace. Ye Tingyun looked at it twice and then walked quickly towards the palace.
When she entered, Concubine Li was served by Yunxiu and drank a cup of hot tea. Although her face was still pale, the cough she had just suffered was much better.
Seeing this, Ye Tingyun hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How do you feel, concubine? Are you feeling better?"
Concubine Li nodded, but she still lacked the energy to speak, "It's not a big deal at all. It'll be fine if you calm down."
Ye Tingyun was still a little worried, "It's better to ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look. I'll go right away."
"stop."
His steps were blocked before he could take a step forward. He paused and stood back obediently.
"Mother and concubine..."
Concubine Li raised her eyes, but looked beyond him towards the outside of the palace, Lan'er's concubine of King Mo is gone?"
Ye Tingyun frowned when he heard this, "Mother, concubine, you are like this, why do you still want to ask her?"
There was silence in the hall for a moment, Yunxiu understood, and immediately led the people out.
Concubine Li looked at her again, with a bit of solemnity.
"Yun'er, don't you realize that she looks a bit like someone else?"
"Who?"
Ye Tingyun thought about it and frowned even more tightly.
"Could it be that the mother-in-law has made a mistake? Who can talk to her..."
Before he finished speaking, a face suddenly flashed in his mind. Ye Tingyun was startled, and his figure immediately stopped.
"Mother-in-law is saying...she looks like the third sister-in-law?!"
The moment this idea came up, even Ye Tingyun himself was shocked.
Concubine Li raised her hand to signal him to help her up.
"If not, why would Lan'er cherish her so much?"
What happened back then was not a secret. This woman was very similar to Feng Yinwan, that was enough.
When Ye Tingyun heard this, she said it directly without thinking, "That's because she gave birth to a child for the third brother."
"child?!"
Concubine Li obviously did not expect this, and was immediately shocked.
Realizing that he had let something slip, Ye Tingyun took a deep breath and immediately fell silent.
However, the next moment, the death gaze of his mother-in-law was already in front of him.
"Yun'er, what on earth is going on?"
…
After leaving Chunhe Palace, Feng Yin took a detour in the evening and made a special trip to the place where Qi Xuan found the bloody gauze.
As he said, this palace road was very secluded, and not a single soul was seen on the road.
Feng Yinwan found the place based on her memory. When she looked up, she found that this was the back door of Yuxiu Palace.
The palace door opened, and a woman who looked like a palace maid came out holding some things. It looked like she was going to throw them away.
Feng Yinwan's eyebrows moved and he immediately followed suit.
However, a moment later, there was a rotten smell coming from the front. Feng Yinwan frowned, and when he raised his eyes, he realized that there was a garbage dump in front of him, and his beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed.
There are a large number of people in the palace. On weekdays, the garbage in each palace is collected by servants and sent to a certain place for temporary storage, and then the Ministry of Internal Affairs assigns personnel to handle it uniformly.
But she didn't expect that this place was located at the back entrance of Yuxiu Palace.
The palace maid came back soon, and their eyes met. She didn't recognize Feng Yinwan, but Feng Yinwan felt that she looked familiar.
After thinking about it carefully, the outline vaguely appeared in my mind.
This person was the palace maid who found her on the palace road when she was assassinated, Ling Xiang.
Yes, she said at that time that she was with Mr. Yu in Yuxiu Palace, so it was a coincidence that she bumped into him now.
After identifying his identity, Feng Yinwan immediately opened his mouth to stop the person.
"Who is your... noble person?"
Yugui is not favored, lives in a remote place, and did not attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Lingxiang works for her, so it is normal for her not to recognize him.
Feng Yinwan nodded and announced her identity, "I am King Mo's newly appointed concubine. I was wandering around in the harem just now and took the wrong path. I wonder which empress lives here?"
Ling Xiang was slightly startled when she heard this, but she still answered respectfully.
"I have seen the concubine. This is the Yuxiu Palace where noble Yu lives."
Feng Yinwan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Since this is the residence of noble people, why are there so many filthy things outside? Isn't this extremely disrespectful to noble people?"
Unexpectedly, she spoke so shockingly, Lingxiang's face turned pale and she immediately trembled.
