Chapter 289: Whispering

The Queen had fought with Concubine An for many years, but she had never been able to suppress her. She could only watch her gain favor day by day.

Unexpectedly, Ling Chu made her lose the title of Concubine when she first entered the palace, which was also a relief for her and the prince.

Although the Queen did not like Ling Chu, she was worthy of her wooing because she could restrain Concubine An and the Second Prince.

The Emperor and the Queen Mother had both given gifts, so the Queen would naturally not miss this great opportunity to win over Ling Chu, and she also gave a lot of gifts.

Concubine An was so angry that her face turned blue.

The angrier Concubine An was, the happier the Queen felt.

"Xianfei, today it is thanks to Miss Ling, otherwise you and the Second Prince would be in danger of losing your lives, and the Emperor and the Queen Mother would also be implicated by you."

Concubine An narrowed her eyes and stared at the Queen unkindly. She was hinting that the Emperor, the Queen Mother, and she had all given gifts.

Ling Chu saved her and the Second Prince, so there must be some appreciation.

This bitch caused her to lose her position as a concubine, and she and Mu'er were bitten. Concubine An wanted to kill Ling Chu in her heart, so how could she be willing to give her a reward.

It can be seen that the emperor and the queen mother were looking at her, so Concubine An had to grit her teeth and follow the reward.

The queen was even more happy when she saw this.

Ling Chu didn't want Concubine An's things at first, but she was still unconscious and couldn't refuse.

The emperor saw that Ning Chuyi's face was always gloomy, hesitated for a while, and finally asked him to send Ling Chu back.

The queen was in a good mood. Seeing that Ling Chu was still unconscious, she signaled the palace maid to help Xia Zhi send her to the carriage, and also sent herself, the emperor, the queen mother, and the things given by Concubine An to the carriage.

When Princess Dingyuan saw the palace maid sending Ling Chu out of the palace, she subconsciously wanted to follow, but Han Yao woke up at this time, grabbing her sleeve in a terrified and weak manner.

Seeing Han Yao like this, Princess Dingyuan felt guilty and could only sigh secretly.

Although the Second Prince and Concubine An hated Ling Chu very much, they were in pain from the wounds on their bodies and were in no mood to say anything.

The imperial physician was helpless against the wounds bitten by the ghost, so Concubine An could only ask the emperor to ask someone to invite the Taoist priest from Chongxu Temple to the palace.

The maid sent Ling Chu to the carriage, and the guards drove the carriage away.

Although Ling Chu pretended to be fainted, he felt very tired after entering the palace today. Now that he left the palace, he relaxed his body and mind and fell asleep directly.

Ning Chuyi rode a horse to escort her. He thought she would wake up after leaving the palace, but there was no movement in the carriage.

Thinking of the imperial physician's words, he couldn't help but reach out and lift the curtain.

Xia Zhi was covering Ling Chu with a thin blanket. He noticed the movement and turned his head to see Ning Chuyi. He whispered, "The girl is asleep. If you have something to say, can you talk to me later?"

Ning Chuyi's eyes swept across the white and transparent face. Seeing that her breathing was still smooth, the stone in her heart fell.

He nodded gently to Xia Zhi and lowered the curtain.

Wei Feng rode beside him. Seeing Ning Chuyi's movements, he frowned again and again, always feeling that the master seemed to be a little abnormal.

But he couldn't say what it was.

Just when he wanted to take a closer look, he saw Ning Chuyi suddenly glanced at him lightly.

Wei Feng was startled and quickly put his mind back and rode to the front to lead the way.

The guards drove the carriage back to the door of the house, and Xia Zhi woke up Ling Chu and helped her down.

Ning Chuyi sat upright on the horse, his eyes paused on her face, and then quickly moved away.

"Since you are not in good health, you should work less in the future. If you don't want to lose your life, spend more time to rest.

The medicinal materials given by the emperor should be used when they are needed, and don't leave them in the warehouse to accumulate dust.

If you need anything, you can ask the guards to pass a message to Wei Feng."

Ling Chu frowned, feeling a little confused. Lord Ning's words sounded like he was concerned about her, but his attitude was clearly cold.

It seemed like a completely different person from when she first entered the palace.

Could it be that Lord Ning was dissatisfied with her behavior in the palace, allowing Lvliu and Xu the kitchen servant to hurt so many people without stopping them, and thought she was too hard-hearted?

Ling Chu sighed in her heart, that's all, she had no relationship with Ning Chuyi, so it was normal for her to be dissatisfied with her behavior.

Although these thoughts flashed through her mind, Ling Chu did not show them on her face. She just bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, my Lord. I know what's going on."

She did not take Ning Chuyi's words to heart. It was impossible for her to rest.

Although the emperor gave her a lot of tonics, it was far from enough. She had to rely on a constant stream of merits to survive.

Ling Chu bowed and thanked him. She was clearly respectful and polite, but for some reason, Ning Chuyi suddenly felt a little twisted in her heart.

He moved his lips, but swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

He looked at her bloodless face and said nothing in the end.

He pulled the reins in his hand, squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and rode away.

Wei Feng glanced at Ning Chuyi's back, then turned his head to look at Ling Chu.

His eyebrows were twisted high.

Why did he feel that his master was weird, and Miss Ling was the same.

It seemed... like they were arguing and having a conflict?

But before entering the palace, the two were clearly fine.

In the palace, he had always been by Ning Chuyi's side, and he had never seen them have any conflicts.

Why did they suddenly become so polite and distant?

He felt strangely uncomfortable.

Ning Chuyi had already walked away, but Wei Feng was still distracted.

Ling Chu looked at him strangely, "Master Wei, is there something wrong?"

Wei Feng came back to his senses and wanted to say something, but he had no idea what was going on between Ling Chu and Ning Chuyi, so he had no idea where to start.

In the end, he could only bow his hands and hurriedly rode away.

Although Ling Chu slept for a while in the carriage, he still felt tired.

Although she felt that Ning Chuyi and Wei Feng were both strange, she had no energy to pay attention to them, so she turned around and went into the mansion to rest.

…

After Ling Chu left the palace, the Taoist priest of Chongxu Temple came into the palace and treated the wounds of Concubine An, the second prince and Han Yao.

The couple of Prince Dingyuan took their two sons and Han Yao back to the mansion.

Seeing that Han Yao was not in danger of death, Prince Dingyuan and Han Lin and his son had dinner and hurried back to the barracks to handle official business.

After Han Yao washed up and went to the main courtyard, she saw Princess Dingyuan and said hesitantly, "Mother, can I sleep with you tonight?"

Princess Dingyuan saw that her face was not very good, and thought that she was scared by what happened in the palace, and she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"Okay, your father is not at home, so you can sleep with your mother tonight."

Han Yao immediately smiled softly, walked forward and took her arm, "You are so kind, mother."

Princess Dingyuan touched her head lovingly, and the mother and daughter lay on the bed, chatting casually.

Princess Dingyuan was poisoned in the palace. Although she took Ling Chu's antidote, so many things happened afterwards that made her nervous all the time.

She relaxed and lay on the bed, and fell asleep soon.

But she didn't sleep well, and suddenly started to talk in her dream.

Han Yao, who was lying on the side, heard those talks and stared at Princess Dingyuan.

Where are the money? Come to my bowl...
