The Favoured Medical Princess: 259 Escape from Concubine
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
"Father, please be careful what you say." Xiao Yi's face suddenly darkened and he said, "The child's crown prince is not something that the princess can slander with just a few words...Father, you are so biased in hearing and believing. A woman's words really make a child not know what to say about you."
"Sir, what nonsense are you talking about! What woman is not a woman, that is your mother and concubine!" King Zhennan slammed the table angrily and angrily said, "Your mother and concubine said that you have been raped by that Nangong long ago. I'm obsessed with you, and it seems that's the case. This Nangong is so young, not only is he jealous, but he's also so skillful that he coaxes you around... How can such a woman be qualified to be the daughter-in-law of our Xiao family!"
"Father!" Xiao Yi stood up abruptly, with all the venom in his body, and said in a cold voice, "It's not a word! I don't want to hear any more slanderous words from my father!"
What nonsense is this traitor talking about! It’s almost lawless! King Zhennan was so angry that he also stood up, "You traitor!" he cursed, and without thinking, he drew out the whip from his waist and whipped it towards Xiao Yi. The whip was as fast as a poisonous snake coming out of its hole, and it let out a sharp roar. The sound of breaking through the air clearly showed no mercy at all.
Song Xiaojie's eyes widened in disbelief. He didn't expect that the prince would be so cruel to the prince. If Song Xiaojie hadn't been a general who had been on the battlefield for many years and had seen countless storms, he would probably have lost his composure.
Song Xiaojie looked at Xiao Yi nervously, but saw that Xiao Yi was motionless on the spot. Seeing that the whip was less than a few inches away from his face, Song Xiaojie could not help but exclaimed: "The world..."
The next moment, Xiao Yi reached out casually and grabbed one end of the whip. He exerted slight force, and the whip became as tight as a straight bowstring. The eyes of the two father and son met in mid-air, sparks flying.
At this moment, the air seems to freeze and time seems to have stopped!
The prince is indeed very skilled! Song Xiaojie couldn't help but have this thought in his mind, with mixed feelings.
To be honest, the ministers around King Zhennan all know that compared to the old prince who passed away, the current King Zhennan is always inferior in martial arts, strategy or courage... Now it seems that the prince is This grandson has quite the style of an old prince. The relationship between father and son is so bad, and the prince is already like a tiger cub that is about to reach adulthood...I am afraid that sooner or later, this father-son dispute will be inevitable!
The King of Zhennan was so angry that he breathed out in his chest. Rebellion! This treacherous son is simply going to rebel!
In the past, this traitor only dared to dodge, but now he dares to confront me!
With the emperor backing him, will he get rid of his father and replace him next?
The more King Zhennan thought about it, the more he felt uneasy. He could only scold him in a strong and gentle manner: "You traitor! Don't let me go yet!"
Xiao Yi looked at King Zhennan coldly, his eyes so sharp that he seemed to be able to see through the depths of his heart.
The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth raised slightly. Since he had never felt the slightest affection, how could he have any expectations for this father?
Xiao Yi waved his hand and let go of the whip without any hesitation, turned around and strode out of the hall.
At this moment, Song Xiaojie was so embarrassed that he wished he could disappear out of thin air. Before coming here, he would never have imagined that such a joyous event as the defeat of the Southern Barbarian Army would actually allow the father and son to meet without even having a cup of tea. The quarrel ended unhappily...
"A traitor is a traitor!" King Zhennan was angry and embarrassed. He stared at Xiao Yi's leaving figure, grabbed a cup and threw it out, causing the pieces to scatter in all directions.
The King of Zhennan walked back and forth irritably and said angrily: "This rebellious son, I originally thought he had grown up and become sensible, but in the end he is still the same as before, a helpless Adou... Fortunately, I still have a legitimate son. , otherwise if this throne falls into his hands..."
At this time, it was not convenient for Song Xiaojie to continue to be a mute, so he quickly comforted him: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The prince is still young and has been in the royal capital for a few years. It is inevitable that he and the prince and princess will be a little unfamiliar."
But he felt embarrassed in his heart. This matter was just a quarrel between father and son. Why should the prince be so angry and want to change the heir apparent at the slightest disagreement? It is difficult to change the heir apparent at any time. of?
In the past, when the prince's reputation was not good, the prince's position was secure. What's more, the current prince is different from the past. He has won several battles in a row and has shown his prominence among the people in the southern Xinjiang army. .
Furthermore, the prince has the emperor behind him to make the decision and support him. It may not be that easy for the prince to change the prince.
There are just some things that Song Xiaojie couldn't say directly to the King of Zhennan, so he could only say tactfully: "Your Majesty, my subordinates think that the prince is still somewhat like you and the old prince. You see, now we are not connected. Have you won many battles?"
"He knows how to fight?" King Zhennan raised his lips disdainfully, "That sow can even climb a tree! In my opinion, it's just a blind cat that got lucky when it encountered a dead mouse. Tian He , Yao Yan and the others are all good generals, it’s hard to say that he just robbed them of their merits!”
Although Song Xiaojie has made such speculation before, King Zhennan is the father of the prince, and he actually speculated on his son like this!
Not to mention the previous battles, the soldiers on the city wall saw today's battle with their own eyes. It was the Crown Prince Xiao Yi who personally led his troops to kill the enemy and break the siege of Fengjiang City! So many pairs of eyes saw it, but I didn't expect that King Zhennan turned a blind eye... It seems that the former prince's reputation as a **** may have something to do with the prince's attitude.
But King Zhennan knew nothing about Song Xiaojie’s thoughts and complained endlessly about Xiao Yi’s various shortcomings...
At the same time, Xiao Yi came to the yard where the housekeeper arranged for him to stay temporarily.
Xiao Yi knew that he was only the prince after all, and now that King Zhennan was in charge, the people in his hands might be ready to take action. Only by building greater prestige can he stabilize the morale of the military. He will return to the royal capital soon, and before that, he must make those people change their respect for him into loyalty, so that his return will not be in vain.
Without any delay, Xiao Yi ordered someone to call Cheng Yu, Qian Moyang, Fu Yunhe and others to the study.
Xiao Yi hung a map on the wall and said: "Our next destination is Lingchuan Canyon."
Judging from the current situation, Southern Xinjiang has gradually recovered its lost territory, and all three cities of Xingyang, Fengyin, and Huiluo have been recaptured. However, the Nanman retreated to the Lingchuan Gorge and still occupied half of the southern border. The two cities of Fuzhong and Kailian at the border were particularly important. If these two cities could not be recaptured, it would be like a vicious wolf waiting around. Will pounce at any time.
"Your Majesty," Tian He thought and said, "The terrain of the Lingchuan Canyon is rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we attack by force, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate. The general believes that winter is approaching, even if we don't take advantage of the victory to pursue, the Nanman I’m afraid we will retreat if we run out of supplies..."
"If we talk about supplies, I'm afraid they can't be cut off." Xiao Yi pointed at the two cities of Fuzhong and Kailian, and said, "Fuzhong City is one of our granaries in southern Xinjiang, and Kailian is connected to various places. The only way for a small country to pass through. As far as I know, the Southern Barbarians did not kill, burn, and loot after capturing these two cities. I think they left them as a retreat. Once the Southern Barbarians' northward invasion goes wrong , will be like now, occupying the Lingchuan Valley, using Fuzhong and Kailian to support military supplies, which must be more than enough. After they finish recuperating, they will invade the north again at any time. It is easy to guard against thieves, but it is difficult to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Not easy."
What's more, if you make great efforts at one go, you will be exhausted again and again.
Now the entire army is infuriated by the evil deeds of the Southern Barbarians. How can we not take advantage of the victory and pursue it?
"The prince is absolutely right." Tian He thought about it again and again, and finally agreed.
Originally, when he returned to Fengjiang City this time, Tian He hesitated whether to follow King Zhennan or continue to follow the crown prince. After all, King Zhennan was the one who really controlled the military power in southern Xinjiang. However, the bravery and courage shown by the Crown Prince these days has convinced him, just like when he followed the old prince... And almost all the generals here have the same feeling.
They all saw the discord between King Zhennan and the Crown Prince. Some were watching, and of course some had already made up their minds. Bai Lifeng, the deputy general of the Pioneer Battalion, asked in a deep voice: "What has the Crown Prince decided?"
"It is indeed inappropriate to attack rashly." Xiao Yi has already thought about it, "but we can lure the snake out of the hole."
As early as in the capital, Guan Yubai had already predicted that the battle would eventually reach this point. They had also conducted more than one sand table drill in the Lingchuan Canyon. This terrain was indeed excellent for defense. But there is no chance for an attack.
The thing they can most use is the swamp snakes in southern Xinjiang.
Xiao Yi thought for a while and said: "We are divided into two groups. One group attacks from the north side of Lingchuan Canyon to attract the attention of the southern barbarians. The other group is the key..." He pointed to a certain point on the map and said , "There is a path here. Going out from this path is an extremely hidden swamp. The other way must be a light attack, enter the Lingchuan Canyon from the path, and use a sneak attack as a cover to lead the Nanman army into the swamp..."
The generals present were all shocked. What surprised them was how did Xiao Yi know that there were paths and swamps here? Could it be that... the prince had already made arrangements to secure southern Xinjiang in the future? If this is really the case, the prince is really far-sighted!
Xiao Yi analyzed it with them in detail and talked about almost every point.
This battle will be the key to victory. As long as he captures the Lingchuan Canyon, he is confident that he can end this war within two months! Then you can go back.
He misses his stinky girl!
He glanced out the window subconsciously. The sun was setting in the west, and he didn’t know if his stinky girl had a good dinner...
The sky in the capital was also half-dark at the moment, and Nangong Yue’s Zhulun chariot finally entered the city gate under the dark curfew.
When she returned to Zhennan Palace, two red lanterns had been hung high in front of the gate of the palace.
The carriage drove all the way to the second gate before stopping. Nangong Yue was helped out of the carriage by Lily. She had been riding the carriage for four hours today, and she could not hide the tiredness in her brows.
An Niang led two women carrying sedan chairs to wait by the second door. When she saw Nangong Yue, she quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Prince Concubine, you are back."
Nangong Yue raised her hand and asked them to stand up.
An Niang walked up to Nangong Yue and lowered her voice: "Prince Concubine, Concubine Fang Ci is waiting for you in Wushou Hall."
Nangong Yue blinked in shock, and then smiled. It seemed that the gate of Zhennan Palace was still too lax.
An Niang continued to report: "Nanny has found out clearly that it was a rough maid named Rui'er in Fufeng Yuan who tipped off Aunt Yi. Aunt Yi asked Mrs. Wang who was guarding the west corner gate to open the door. That's how Concubine Fang Ci entered the palace." Since Fang Ziteng has entered the palace, An Niang is just a servant after all, so she might as well ask someone to kick Fang Ziteng out.
Lily curled up her lips in disdain and said: "This Mrs. Wang is the one left behind by the little Fang family. When the Crown Princess saw that she was quite honest in her work and made no mistakes, she kept her in the house to continue her work, but she didn't To think that she dared to eat both inside and outside after eating a bear's heart and a leopard's guts!"
"It turns out that the person behind Rui'er is Concubine Fang Cizhen." Que'er said with some surprise. Although they had known for a long time that Rui'er had been bribed and was secretly spreading news to the outside world, in the past few days, Rui'er had not moved or sent any more news, so they did not find out Fang Ziteng.
"This time I can kill two birds with one stone... no, kill three birds with one stone!" Nangong Yue smiled half-heartedly.
"That's true." Lily also smiled and asked with a sly look, "Prince Princess, do you want me to throw that wisteria outside the mansion now?"
Unexpectedly, Nangong Yue shook her head and said: "Don't be busy now, I'll go meet them..." Then she turned to Lily and Thrush, "You put those pots of chrysanthemums in the flower room first, and let the gardener I'm taking good care of him, and I'm also taking care of Ye Erfu's family."
"Yes, Crown Princess." Lily and Huamei left in response.
Nangong Yue sat on the sedan chair and was carried to Wushou Hall by the two women.
Fang Ziteng and Grandma Yi were sitting in Wushou Hall chatting and drinking tea. When they heard the movement outside, they both looked towards Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue got off the sedan chair and walked into Wushou Hall calmly. A mixture of anger and hatred flashed in the eyes of Granny Yi and Fang Ziteng, but due to their inferior status, they could only stand up. .
Nanny Yi first bowed her knees to Nangong Yue "respectfully" and said, "I have seen the Crown Princess..."
“I’ve met my cousin sister-in-law.” Fang Ziteng thanked her for a long time and glanced at Aunt Yi hopefully. This time it all depends on Aunt Yi's ability.
Nangong Yue walked without squinting until she sat down on the rosewood chair next to the large rosewood carving table, and then said slowly: "No courtesy."
Grandma Yi stood up straight. Fang Ziteng, who was standing beside her, saw that Nangong Yue didn't give Grandma Yi any face, and couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart. She began to worry that Grandma Yi was not as powerful as she was bragging about.
When Aunt Yi saw that Lily was not there, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief: That cheap maid was so unreasonable that she would hit someone if she disagreed with her. Just like last time, she couldn't even see the crown prince's face. In this case, even if she has all kinds of means and a eloquent tongue, there is nothing she can do!
Mammy Yi took advantage of Nangong Yue's late return and said with an awe-inspiring look: "Prince Concubine, please forgive me for talking too much. Now that the Crown Prince is not in the palace, you are still a bride, so you should be careful in your words and actions. Yes, it’s really inappropriate to leave early and come back late like today!”
"What Mammy said does make some sense. As a bride, I should really pay attention to my words and deeds." Nangong Yue looked at Mammy Yi lazily, nodding slightly, but didn't even bother to look out of the corner of her eyes. Fang Ziteng glanced at it.
Fang Ziteng saw a hint of hope in his eyes when he saw Aunt Yi suppressing Nangong Yue.
Nanny Yi had already prepared in her heart how Nangong Yue would refute her sharply, but she never expected that she would obey her instructions so meekly this time. After she was stunned for a moment, she thought to herself: That's right. After all, this imperial concubine is only thirteen years old, and she is just a girl. Usually, it must be because her maid is instigating her behind her back...
The more she thought about it, the more she thought about it. She nodded with pleasure and said: "Prince Princess, if you are willing to listen to my servant's kind words, I think the princess will be very pleased to know this." As she said this, she glanced at Fang Ziteng who was standing aside. , reprimanded with a solemn expression, "Prince Concubine, you made another mistake today. Cousin Fang is the niece of the princess and the cousin of the Crown Prince. She came to ask you for help. How could you just leave her alone at the gate of the house?" Outside, you go out to play by yourself?"
Mammy Yi followed up and said: "Now, Cousin Fang is in trouble in Prince Qi's Mansion. I have the audacity to ask the Crown Princess to make the decision for her. Princess Qi must not make things difficult for Cousin Fang again! No matter what I say, , Cousin Fang is also a relative of the palace, how can she be allowed to be humiliated by others? This is simply a disgrace to the princess, and undermines the dignity of our Zhennan palace. Princess, as the princess's daughter-in-law, you should be the daughter-in-law of the princess. My mother-in-law shared her worries, but she also had to maintain the dignity of Zhennan Palace..."
Nanny Yi was talking eloquently, and Nangong Yue smiled casually, interrupted her, and said: "Aunt Yi, I respect you as a nanny sent by my mother-in-law, and I want to give you some face. Why are you talking nonsense? You actually said that a runaway concubine from another family is a relative of our Zhennan Palace. Wouldn’t it make people laugh if it spread? Aunt Yi, don’t say these words to others, otherwise people will think that We in the Zhennan Palace are all people who don’t understand the rules."
Nanny Yi’s eyes widened and she glared at Nangong Yue fiercely. It turned out that she was waiting for him here!
Mother Yi was so angry that blue veins appeared on her forehead, "The Crown Princess, even if Cousin Fang becomes the second concubine of King Qi, she is still the niece of the princess. Since the Crown Princess is the cousin, she is not willing to be the cousin. It’s up to you, that servant has no choice but to send a message to Southern Xinjiang. Crown Princess, just wait for the princess’s reprimand! The princess is also your mother-in-law after all. Crown Princess, you don’t even dare to disobey the princess’s instructions. That’s not possible. Just..." She raised her chin proudly and did not say the last two words "unfilial", but everyone knew what she meant.
Disobeying her parents is a name for being "seven out", and she doesn't believe that Nangong Yue is not afraid!
I didn’t want to, but Nangong Yue let out a long sigh, shook her head in disappointment and said: "As a daughter-in-law, I naturally have to listen to what the mother-in-law says. But for a person like the mother-in-law who abides by the rules and knows etiquette, how can she Would you recognize a concubine as a relative? Aunt Yi, you are the mother-in-law. If the mother-in-law knew that you said this, I am afraid she would be very angry! As a daughter-in-law, how can I just watch you, a slut? You ruined the reputation of the mother-in-law by talking nonsense!"
She spoke with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, and the magpie on the side tried hard to hold back laughter and did not dare to make a sound.
Mother Yi's face turned green and white, and she was about to defend herself when she saw Nangong Yue pointing at Fang Ziteng and shouting: "Come here, why don't you kidnap this escaped concubine from Prince Qi's Mansion to my concubine and send her back to Qi?" Go to the palace to avoid polluting the land of my Zhennan palace!"
Nangong Yue gave the order, and immediately two big and round women entered the hall.
"Nangong Yue, how dare you!" Fang Ziteng stood up in disbelief and pointed at Nangong Yue's nose.
But she could only say these few words. The two women clamped Fang Ziteng's arms on the left and right, and roughly dragged her down.
"Nangong Yue, how could you! Aunt Yi..." Fang Ziteng shouted hysterically, but in vain, and her voice gradually faded away.
Nangong Yue calmly ordered Baihui again: "Baihui, you will draft a post for me later and send it to Princess Qi together with the escaped concubine, asking her to take care of her inner house, and not to repeat it again and again. And trouble is happening everywhere in the three places!"
What she said was meaningful. Baihui stood up and said, "Yes, Crown Princess." She went to the west corner at the back to draft the invitation. She naturally knew how to draft the invitation!
All this happened like lightning and thunder. Aunt Yi was completely shocked. She stammered and said with some lack of confidence: "Prince Princess, you... you actually... aren't you afraid of the princess' blame? ”
"Aunt Yi, it seems that the small temple here cannot accommodate the big Buddha like Auntie," Nangong Yue looked at Aunt Yi with a smile, "Since Auntie misses my mother and concubine so much, then I will be a good person and do it to the end. Let me send you back to see my mother and concubine."
After all, Aunt Yi was sent by Xiao Fang. As a daughter-in-law, she had to give her some dignity, so naturally she couldn't send her away without any reason. However, since she was so uneasy and fell into his hands, Nangong Yue would certainly not be lenient.
Nanny Yi took a breath. She was sent back to southern Xinjiang in such a dejected manner. I am afraid that even the princess, Xiao Fang, will look bad at her from now on!
Nanny Yi forced a smile, thinking about lowering her head and getting through this first, "Prince Princess, please forgive me..."
Nangong Yue interrupted her again and casually ordered: "Mama Yi has no rules and regulations. She has a bad reputation as a mother and concubine, so I will give you twenty canes as a small punishment."
"Yes, Crown Princess!"
Immediately, two more women came in, and Grandma Yi shouted without giving up: "How dare you! I am the princess's wife, be careful with me...ah!"
Her threat ended with her screaming like a slaughtering pig, each one louder than the last.
Baihui, who had prepared the post, came out of the west room. After Nangong Yue glanced at it roughly, she stamped the golden seal of her Crown Princess on the signature of the post, and asked someone to mark the post with Fang Yue. Send Ziteng to Prince Qi's Mansion together.
Baihui took the order and left, passing by Rui'er and Mrs. Wang who were escorted in by An Niang's order. Seeing the fate of Princess Xiao Fang's confidant, Aunt Yi, these two people felt a chill in their hearts. After entering the hall, they knelt down with a plop, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Prince Princess, please forgive me!"
An Niang walked to Nangong Yue and asked for orders: "Prince Concubine, how should we deal with these two people?"
Nangong Yue’s eyes first fell on Rui’er, she waved her hand and said, “...call someone Yazi to take her away tomorrow.”
Rui'er was a little confused. She thought she was just passing on a message and didn't do anything to harm her master. She didn't expect it to be so serious... It's easy to eat, live and work here, and there are also rewards. Ren Yazi sells it again, who knows where it will go.
"Prince Concubine, I don't dare to do this anymore..." Rui'er still held on to her last glimmer of hope and tried to beg for mercy, but was immediately dragged down rudely by her mother-in-law.
As for Mrs. Wang, who was lying on the ground and trembling slightly, Nangong Yue was too lazy to talk nonsense and said: "Mother Wang, you let outsiders into the house at will today. The evidence of your crime is solid, I will punish you with fifteen canes to serve as a warning to others... …”
When she heard that it was only fifteen punishments, Mrs. Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then she continued slowly and calmly: "You are my mother's concubine, and I can't sell you out, since you don't like Wangdu so much. , I will send your family back to southern Xinjiang and serve your mother and concubine well."
These people will be left in the capital by the princess. They are not reused and disliked... This time when they return to southern Xinjiang, they may not even be able to keep their jobs! Mrs. Wang completely collapsed on the ground, and the two women dragged her down.
The hall finally became quiet. Nangong Yue, who had been running around all day, yawned lazily, stood up and said, "Go back to Fufengyuan."
Nangong Yue sat on the sedan chair and was carried back to Fufengyuan by her mother-in-law. The sedan chair shook regularly and she almost fell asleep.
Back at Fufengyuan, seeing that Nangong Yue could not conceal her tiredness, Lily, who came back first, said hurriedly: "Prince Princess, the hot water for bathing has been prepared; the kitchen will warm porridge and make soup for you. , do you want to take a bath first and eat a little bit first?"
"Let's take a bath first."
She took a shower and changed clothes, drank a small bowl of porridge, and let the maid help her wring her hair...Nangong Yue was already lying on the desk and fell asleep.
When Baihui and Lily saw that Nangong Yue's hair was dry, they quietly carried her to the bed. From beginning to end, Nangong Yue slept deeply without waking up at all.
Lily couldn't help but joked with a smile: "The crown prince's vigilance is really bad. I guess even if we sold her secretly, she wouldn't know."
Baihui glared at her. Although she didn't say anything, the meaning was already obvious: she was getting more and more unruly!
Lily stuck out her tongue and thought: Isn’t she just talking?
At this time, Huamei walked into the house. Seeing Nangong Yue sleeping, he lowered his voice and said, "Baihui, Ye Erfu's family has already settled down, and the pots of chrysanthemums have been placed in the flower room."
Baihui nodded and told the Crown Princess about this tomorrow.
The next day, the first thing Nangong Yue did after breakfast was to ask Baihui to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for her.
She thought for a moment and wrote this letter to Xiao Fang in one breath——
The mother and concubine saw the letter as if they had met each other:
The mother-in-law has a loving heart towards her daughter-in-law and regards her as her own daughter. She sent Aunt Yi to be her upbringing mother. The daughter-in-law was also deeply moved and knelt three times and six times towards the south to show her gratitude to the mother-in-law.
The daughter-in-law has always respected her mother-in-law and regarded her as her own mother. Since Aunt Yi arrived in the royal capital, her daughter-in-law has treated Aunt Yi as if her mother-in-law was here in person. She does not dare to neglect anything in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation!
Who knew that this Aunt Yi was actually a slave to her master, talking nonsense and destroying the reputation of her mother-in-law? Her daughter-in-law tolerated it again and again, but she really couldn't bear that her mother-in-law's reputation as a virtuous, virtuous, well-informed and sensible woman was ruined by such a lowly servant. hands! The daughter-in-law was filled with indignation and boldly taught such a lowly servant a lesson for her mother-in-law.
Grandma Yi is the concubine of the mother. After all, it is difficult for the daughter-in-law to encounter obstacles in taking over, so she sent Grandma Yi back to the Southern Xinjiang Palace and asked the concubine to deal with it!
The final signature is "Your daughter-in-law, Nangong Shi".
After Nangong Yue finished writing, she scanned it with satisfaction and asked Lily to help dry the ink.
Lily casually took a look at the letter, and almost couldn't hold her breath after seeing it. When she read the letter written by the Crown Princess to the Crown Prince before, she thought that the Crown Princess couldn't write letters, but it seemed that she wrote quite well!
Lily smiled sullenly, put the letter into the envelope, and ordered it to be sent out.
Nangong Yue stretched her limbs and felt refreshed.
After returning from delivering the letter, Lily told her a piece of gossip she had just heard from the woman who was out shopping: "...I heard that Mrs. Zhang entered the palace yesterday and came out crying. He kept saying that Zhang Concubine didn’t even think about the fact that the second princess died young and had no heirs, and no one would offer fireworks or anything in the future..."
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Where did this rumor come from?"
"It was said that the news came from a woman in the Zhang family who talked too much, and the woman was severely beaten."
A mother-in-law?
Nangong Yue said with great interest: "It's quite interesting that a woman can spread such shady secrets in one day and make the capital of the capital a hubbub."
"Prince Princess, what do you mean?"
Nangong Yue pondered for a moment and did not continue the topic. Instead, she stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go to the flower room and have a look. Don't let Xiaobai and the others ruin my chrysanthemums."
