Luoyang Brocade Chapter 272: Testing


Qiu Shuang and others quickly retreated, leaving only Ruilian.

Ruilian is indeed Queen Xu’s closest confidant. Queen Xu did not shy away from Ruilian when she asked her alone.

Ling Jingshu thought to herself, quietly waiting for Queen Xu to ask questions.

"I heard that Dr. Wei once treated you and prescribed medicine. I wonder if your illness will be cured?" Queen Xu asked seemingly casually.

So this is what I was asking about.

Ling Jingshu had been psychologically prepared from the day she entered the palace. She had already thought of her words. She bit her lips in embarrassment and replied in a low voice: "To answer the question of the queen, I drank continuously before." I have been taking medicine for more than two months, but unfortunately there is no improvement. It seems that the slave's illness cannot be cured. After entering the palace, the slave stopped taking the medicine."

Is the disease really incurable?

A trace of joy flashed in Empress Xu's heart, but she said: "There is no reason to give up halfway in treating a disease. You are in Jiaofang Palace, and when I call Imperial Physician Wei to see you, let him take care of you. At first glance, I continued to drink the medicine I was supposed to drink. You, a young girl, cannot live without getting married and having children for the rest of your life."

She actually asked Wei Yan to treat her illness!

Would Queen Xu be so kind?

Ling Jingshu raised her head, with tears in her eyes and tears of gratitude on her face: "Thank you, Queen, for your kindness. However, the slave's entry into the palace is already a special case. I don't know how many people are watching my every move, openly or secretly. The Queen will be waiting for you. This slave is already generous enough. If it is reported that Dr. Wei treated this slave again, I don’t know how many rumors will spread. I really can’t bear it.”

Outside the palace, Wei Yan treated her, and no one said anything.

When she entered the palace, she was just a female official. What qualifications do we have for Wei Yan to see a doctor? Wei Yan specializes in treating the emperor and queen on weekdays, and the concubines in the palace do not dare to call Wei Yan for pulse diagnosis at will.

Empress Xu's "kindness" will make Ling Jingshu stand at the forefront, and her every move will attract everyone's attention.

No matter what the reason is, Ling Jingshu will resolutely reject this "favor"!

Ling Jingshu’s firm attitude surprised Empress Xu a little, and she looked at Ling Jingshu with a thoughtful look in her eyes: “Are you really not willing to let Dr. Wei treat you?”

Ling Jingshu responded without hesitation: "Yes. Being able to be by the Queen's side every day is already a blessing earned over several lifetimes. I dare not ask for anything more!"

Empress Xu relaxed her brows and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, since you don't want to, I won't force you. Fortunately, you are still young, and you don't need to come into contact with any men as an errand in the Zaijiao Palace. This disease will be left for future treatment." It doesn’t hurt to treat it.”

Queen Xu wishes her illness could never be cured!

However, fortunately, I have a disease as a shield. Even though Queen Xu didn't like her, she had no intention of dealing with her yet.

Ling Jingshu thanked her gratefully.

Empress Xu asked kindly: "It has been more than half a month since you entered the palace. Are you still adapting here? Have you encountered anything unpleasant? Is anyone deliberately making things difficult for you? If so, just open your mouth. Tell me, I will definitely make the decision for you."

Ling Jingshu responded without thinking: "Everyone in Jiaofang Palace treats slaves very kindly, and no one makes things difficult for slaves. The errands under my leadership are not heavy, and I can handle them well."

I thought Ling Jingshu would take the opportunity to sue Luo Yan. Unexpectedly, she didn't mention a word.

Empress Xu's eyes flashed, and she said pointedly: "There are many newly cultivated varieties in the peony room. You only lead one palace maid to take care of it. Can you be busy? If not, you can Don’t hold on. This palace holds a flower viewing feast every year, and the new peonies are absolutely indispensable.”

"Not only the slave, but also the two maids who followed the slave into the palace. They will also go to the peony room to help take care of the peonies every day." Ling Jingshu smiled and responded: "When the flowering period comes in April, the slave will definitely not let it go. The Queen is disappointed."

Queen Xu twitched her lips: "Since you said so, how can I not believe you? However, I have my words first. If the peonies are planted well, I will give you a heavy reward. If something goes wrong No matter what the mistake, I won’t forgive you.”

Ling Jingshu solemnly agreed: "Please rest assured, Queen, I will never let you down!"

Queen Xu waved her hand, indicating that she could withdraw.

After Ling Jingshu resigned and left, the smile on Queen Xu's face also faded.

This Ling Jingshu is smarter than she imagined. She had just tried every possible means, but Ling Jingshu's response was flawless and she couldn't find any fault at all.

"What a smart girl." Empress Xu seemed to be talking to herself, but also seemed to be feeling: "Ruilian, you saw it just now! She is even smarter and smarter than when you entered the palace. A few points."

Ruilian has her own merits in becoming Queen Xu’s confidant. Knowing exactly when to say what to say, he smiled and said, "Yes, I think so too. This Ling Jingshu is much better than this slave."

Empress Xu glanced at Ruilian with a half-smile: "What I appreciate most is not smart people, but people who are loyal to me. Don't blame me if you dare to have other thoughts behind my back. I will show no mercy."

This is the real Queen Xu.

Never truly trust anyone.

Working as an errand next to Queen Xu, I will always be in trepidation!

Ruilian's heart trembled, and she quickly expressed her loyalty: "The Empress knows this clearly. I have always been loyal to your Majesty and have never had any second thoughts. No matter what the Empress has ordered, I will do my best to complete it."

Empress Xu twitched the corners of her lips and smiled faintly: "Look at you, I'm just talking casually. Why are you so nervous? If I can't trust you, how can I trust anyone around me? People."

Ruilian showed a flattered smile. As for how she felt in her heart, only she knew best. ~IndoMTL.com~ Walking out of Jiaofang Palace, Ling Jingshu's palms were already covered in cold sweat.

Every time she had a confrontation with Queen Xu, she had to brace herself up and think hard, not daring to relax at all. It seems that he is at ease and at ease, but in fact he is surrounded by dangers.

It's like walking on the tip of a knife. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.

Of course, she has not gained nothing these days.

Maintaining a close relationship with Ruilian Qiu Shuang and the others, they gradually gained a foothold in Jiao Fang Palace. Secretly paying attention to the people and things around him, he became more and more aware of Queen Xu's methods.

Because time is still short, no particularly important information has been found yet.

However, the most important thing to do eyeliner is patience.

Like a dagger hidden in the dark, no one notices or knows it. Only when it reveals its edge at the most critical and critical moment can it have unexpected effects. (To be continued.)
