When Chu Yunning heard this, she looked at Yao Shuangyan in surprise, almost wondering if she had heard wrongly.
"Mrs. Hou, what are you talking about? How could my young lady go to the west to take the initiative to treat Major General Yao?" Bixiu couldn't help but stood up and said a few words, her tone a bit contemptuous.
Yao Shuangyan was ridiculed by Bi Xiu, and her face immediately darkened. She showed the majesty she had when she was a queen, and said with a cold face: "You are so presumptuous, I am talking to your master, how can you interrupt?"
Bixiu glanced at Chu Yunning and saw that she had no reaction, and immediately said: "The Yao family is no longer what it used to be. If Mrs. Hou doesn't show any sincerity, I'm just worried that General Yao won't be able to protect her."
"You girl, what are you talking about?" Yao Shuangyan glared at Bixiu fiercely.
Bixiu shrugged.
"This girl is right. If you delay for a while, Mo Ruo's military power will not be preserved, and even the Yao family and the Sixteenth Prince will not be able to preserve it." Chu Yunning poured a cup of tea by herself.
He was drinking tea leisurely and contentedly, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
The calmer she was, the less confident Yao Shuangyan felt.
"How can you save my brother?" Yao Shuangyan tried her best to suppress her anger and kept her face as gentle as possible.
She also had to restrain the Queen's majesty, because she found that the other party did not accept this trick at all.
"Mrs. Hou, I do have a question for you. If you answer it calmly, I can consider whether to save you or not."
Chu Yunning raised an eyebrow and looked at her.
Yao Shuangyan looked at her suspiciously and warily, with countless possibilities flashing through her mind. She really couldn't guess what Chu Yunning was going to ask.
But now people have to bow their heads under the roof. For the sake of the family, she can only temporarily compromise.
"you say."
"It's about Concubine Murong Xian."
As soon as she heard about Murong Lingwan, Yao Shuangyan frowned so hard that she looked at her with a frown. Just as she was about to speak, Chu Yunning placed the tea cup in her hand heavily on the table and said in a cold tone: "Mrs. Hou, please think carefully.
If you don't speak again, once I find out you lied, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Yao Shuangyan swallowed the words that were about to reach her lips. She took a deep breath: "It's all old news, and it's meaningless to mention it again. Although I have used tricks, Murong Lingwan may not have clean hands."
"If Mrs. Hou can clear up Murong Lingyuan's reputation, I can give your brother the antidote."
Yao Shuangyan was suddenly stunned. She stared at Chu Yuning in confusion: "What did Murong Lingwan promise you? The Murong family has nothing."
"You don't need to worry about this."
The two looked at each other, Yao Shuangyan didn't speak for a long time, Chu Yunning stood up, raised her feet and walked outside, with a look of whether you want to agree or not.
"Wait!" Yao Shuangyan called to her and walked quickly to Chu Yunning: "I promise you, and I hope you will keep your promise."
"Of course!" Chu Yunning winked at Bixiu, who took off the sachet and handed it to Yao Shuangyan.
So Yao Shuangyan took the antidote and left without hesitation. After they left, Bixiu asked: "Miss, if you really gave me the antidote, wouldn't you have failed in your work?"
Chu Yunning shrugged: "I only promised to save one life, but I didn't promise to restore Major General Yao to normal."
Just a living dead.
Bixiu gave Chu Yunning a thumbs up in admiration. It was her young lady who was so profound.
"Let's go and see Lingwan."
She had already sobered up, and she didn't know if Ling Wan was awake or not. When she walked to the door, she was stopped by Xiao Jingheng: "Are you going to drink again?"
Chu Yunning's face turned slightly red and she shook her head: "No, I just went to visit her."
"I plan to deal with Xihai's matter within half a month, and Xiao Jingyan's matter is imminent." Xiao Jingheng plans to return to Qianzhou as soon as possible, so it is not a problem to be in such a stalemate.
"You don't have to worry about the harem, I'll take care of it."
The harem and the former dynasty are closely related. She let go of many concubines, which can be regarded as a favor to those courtiers.
Not all families are unkind.
Xiao Jingheng suddenly handed Chu Yunning a memorial, which happened to be from the Murong family. Chu Yunning's eyelids jumped, and he reached out to take it nervously and opened it. It was actually the Murong family who asked Murong Lingyuan to be dealt with as soon as possible to prevent her from being corrupted. Harem reputation.
Seeing this, Chu Yunning was furious: "I don't feel sorry for myself at all. I didn't see a penny, but it only added fuel to the fire. How can it be unreasonable?"
As Chu Yunning was about to rush out, Xiao Jingheng held her arm: "Where are you going?"
"I want to visit Lingwan."
"Tomorrow I can hold a flower viewing banquet, and let Mrs. Zhongyi and her family come."
Chu Yunning frowned, but before her mind could turn around, the breeze blew by, and a strand of hair brushed her cheek. Xiao Jingheng reached out and tucked the hair behind her ears, and helped her stand firmly: "Mrs. Zhongyi is Jiu The princess is Lingwan’s youngest daughter.”
After mentioning it like this, Chu Yunning suddenly realized. Looking at her head, she laughed happily: "Then Lingwan must be very happy."
Mother and daughter have not seen each other for twenty-five or six years. How can any mother not miss her child?
"Are you happy too?" Xiao Jingheng's mouth was filled with a smile, his big hand still holding her elbow, smelling the fragrance of pear blossoms on her temples: "This smells good, very light."
Chu Yunning raised her head and looked at him.
"What kind of flavor do you like? There are many fruit trees and flower trees in the Xihai Palace. I'll ask someone to pick more for you."
"After the banquet, pick some peonies and pear blossoms. Begonia flowers will be made, and the fruit honey will be made from cherries." Chu Yunning did not hesitate to speak. Xiao Jingheng silently remembered it, and then said: "Red plums taste good too, and they can be made into delicious dishes." The lipstick is very bright when applied on it."
"Okay, then add another red plum."
The two chatted for a while, and Chu Yunning grabbed Xiao Jingheng's sleeve with his backhand: "You must not agree to punish Lingwan."
Xiao Jingheng was a little dumbfounded: "If I want punishment, why would I rush to deliver a memorial?"
Hearing this, Chu Yunning felt relieved, and patted her chest and promised: "I'm going to see Lingwan, and I will never drink."
It happened that the previous court also had something to see Xiao Jingheng, so the two parted ways. Bixiu suddenly pointed at Chu Yunning's temples: "Miss, you have an extra hairpin on your head."
Chu Yunning immediately reached out to touch it, and sure enough she touched a wishful hairpin, which must have been worn by Xiao Jingheng just now. The pattern was also somewhat familiar, so she took it off and took a look.
Sure enough, it turned out to be a dowry given by her mother, Mrs. Chu, and the two hairpins were exactly the same. She lost the original one, which she felt was a pity at the time.
"Miss, the emperor treats you so well." Bixiu sighed.
Chu Yunning smiled: "I know."
Unknowingly, we arrived at Murong Lingwan's residence. As soon as she entered the door, the young palace maid felt like she was facing an enemy: "Chu Shang Palace, my wife is too drunk and cannot drink any more."
"I'm not here to have a drink with your mother-in-law. Is your mother-in-law awake?" Chu Yunning laughed. This little palace maid is actually very cute.
The little palace maid breathed a sigh of relief and pointed inside: "Go back to Chushang Palace, your Majesty is not awake yet."
So Chu Yunning went to the inner hall to take a look and found that Murong Lingwan had not woken up yet. She was worried that she would not wake up tomorrow, so she asked Bixiu to make a bowl of hangover soup.
"You must guard your master at all times. You must wake up tonight and tell your master that there will be a flower viewing banquet in the harem tomorrow, and Mrs. Zhongyi will also come."
