Chapter 26 Chapter 26(2/2)
When Shen Luan went to Yunzhou to meet Linglong, who had just lost her mother, he was almost blinded by the seven-year-old Linglong at the time.
If Shen Luan hadn't known that Linglong's mother was poisonous and had the antidote to the poison in Linglong's mother's hands, he would have been blind.
After Shen Qinliu finished speaking, Mammy responded respectfully, and then stepped back to do the matter according to Shen Qinliu's instructions. When she left the room, she was still thinking about how this eldest lady would treat the second girl who was a concubine. It's really caring.
Shen Qin and Liu Qiang managed to finish arranging things, but after the nanny left, she started coughing violently again.
She covered her lips and coughed. After a while, she finally regained her composure.
After the coughing subsided for a while, he lowered his eyes and glanced at his palms.
Some blood clots are particularly dazzling...
She thought that she probably wouldn't survive, and she just hoped that she could do something for Linglong before she died, so that she wouldn't end up like she did in her previous life.
Shen Qinliu had nothing else to look forward to. She only hoped that Linglong would be well and not be involved in the bloody chaos of these troubled times by Qi Zhen. She could just be an ordinary little lady and live a happy and peaceful life.
I just don’t know if Linglong can escape Qi Zhen’s control this time.
In the East Palace,
Qi Zhen went back to the study room in the main courtyard with the fingerprints and blood marks on his face. The slaves along the way accidentally saw him and ordered him to lower their heads and avoid looking at his master's face.
Fortunately, the Xueyuan was very close to the main courtyard, so only the servants in these two places saw the injuries on Qi Zhen's face.
The servants in the snow courtyard were there to serve Linglong. They saw His Highness enter the snow courtyard safely, but he came out with injuries on his face. It was impossible to guess who had hit him.
In the past few days since Linglong moved to the East Palace, they have seen how coquettish and bold the second girl of the Shen family, who was rumored to be Nanyuan's favorite for three years, was, and how dared to slap His Highness in the face.
Qi Zhen endured the anger in his heart and returned to the study in the main courtyard from the snow courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, the little eunuch serving in the study was shocked by the injuries on Qi Zhen's face.
"Your Highness..." What's going on with that face? The little eunuch was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of Qi Zhen's cold expression, and immediately stopped and swallowed the second half of his words.
The injuries on Qi Zhen's face were so shocking to the servants that the young eunuch didn't notice that Qi Zhen's court clothes were all wet with the concoction.
Qi Zhen had no choice but to walk to the closet in the study room and took out a piece of clean clothes from the closet.
He left his clothes on the screen and raised his hands to untie his wet court clothes. Thinking of Linglong's sudden attack on the bracelet today, he frowned slightly and ordered: "Call the steward over here."
Qi Zhen took off the wet and stained court clothes on his own and put on the clean ordinary clothes he had just picked up.
He casually picked up a piece of black clothing and put it on, which made his already gloomy expression look even more stormy.
When the steward came to the study, he secretly looked at Qi Zhen's expression and felt very upset.
Qi Zhen lowered his eyes at the steward and asked, "Has Linglong been out of the East Palace today?"
The steward thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No."
Qi Zhen's eyes became colder.
"Who has been to the snowy courtyard today?"
The steward was slightly startled when he heard this, and under Qi Zhen's condensed gaze, he replied truthfully: "The nanny from the queen's palace came to announce the empress's decree and proposed the two girls Fuchun and Weiyan as concubines. After the nanny left, Fuchun and Weiyan went to the snowy courtyard."
Qi Zhen frowned slightly when he heard this. He felt that these two names were somewhat familiar, but he could not remember who they were for a moment.
Seeing this, the steward quickly reminded: "Fuchun and Weiyan were the two maids who served His Highness in the main courtyard of the East Palace before entering Nanyuan. When His Highness was thirteen, the Queen specially selected them from the palace and sent them to the East Palace. ."
Qi Zhen still couldn't remember the faces of the two palace maids mentioned by the steward, but he understood after hearing what the steward said that they came from the Queen's Palace.
The servants in the East Palace may not know about the bracelet, but the people in the Queen's Palace know it very well.
Thinking of this, Qi Zhen's eyebrows turned cold and cold.
The steward looked at Qi Zhen's expression and asked hesitantly: "But what happened to Miss Shen?"
What happened?
Qi Zhen pinched his eyebrows and said nothing.
He knew Shen Linglong's temperament, and the bracelet matter might not be easily uncovered.
Qi Zhen knew in his heart that the best way to deal with it was to tell her his dream.
But thinking about all the things in the dream, he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.
The person he married in the dream was not her. If Linglong knew that the person he married in the dream was her sister, she would probably be even more reluctant to let her go.
However, except for the reason of dreams, he could not explain to her why he did not allow her to have children.
Since he couldn't explain the reason clearly, the other explanations were still lying to her in the final analysis.
Moreover, Shen Linglong might not believe such nonsense as a dream, and just thought that she had made up another excuse to lie to her.
Qi Zhen was thinking a lot and could not find a solution.
He held his forehead helplessly, and was really helpless against Linglong.
When the steward secretly looked at Qi Zhen's expression, he was also frightened.
After a long while, Qi Zhen opened his mouth and gave instructions: "Send the two maids to the remote courtyard of the East Palace, and those who are sent to the East Palace for the stepmother and the queen, all will be arranged in this way, don't let Linglong see them again."
The steward bowed his head and said in his heart that Miss Shen Er was really favored. After causing such a fuss, instead of being punished, Fuchun and Weiyan were blocked from being favored in the future.
For a moment, the steward couldn't tell whether the girl was really carefree and indulgent, or whether she was just being so domineering because of His Highness.
In the snowy courtyard of the East Palace, Linglong was leaning over to carefully pick up medicinal powder from the hidden box on her dressing table.
Qiu Shui watched with fear on the side, still frightened when he thought of the tragic situation when he followed the master to Yunzhou for the first time.
Linglong's mother died when she was seven years old. Shen Luan went to Yunzhou to meet her at that time, bringing his maid and a large sum of gold and silver, and told Linglong that he was her biological father.
It happened that Linglong's mother had told Linglong during her urination that her father was a great hero who died on the battlefield.
Linglong naturally didn't believe Shen Luan's words.
Shen Luan and Linglong's mother were both top-notch beauties. Linglong was born and raised at the age of seven. She was very pretty. When her mother was still alive, she killed someone who lied to Linglong and said he was Linglong's father, with the intention of doing something to Linglong. of metamorphosis.
Before she died, she was most worried that her daughter's appearance would bring trouble to her after she died. So before she died, she made a lot of self-defense poisons for Linglong, and warned her that if someone cheated her by recognizing her daughter's name, She picked a poisonous powder and killed the man.
Linglong was so soft-hearted that she didn't have the guts to kill anyone, so in the end she just picked out the poisonous powder and threw it at Shen Luan, causing Qiu Shui who was following Shen Luan to suffer.
If Shen Luan hadn't known that Linglong's mother was poisonous, and had not been able to prepare the antidote for Linglong's mother's medicinal powder, he would have become blind now.
"Miss, do you still keep these poisonous powders?" When Qiu Shui spoke, he was careful to stay away from the poisonous powders.
Linglong nodded and said softly: "These are the only things my mother has left, so of course I want to keep them."
In order to raise Linglong, Linglong's mother sold all her valuable jewelry and belongings and exchanged them for money for Linglong.
When he left, the only thing he left behind for Linglong was the poisonous powder besides the money.
Linglong missed her mother. Even when she arrived at the Hou Mansion, others reminded her several times to throw away these things, but she was reluctant to do so and kept hiding them in her dressing table.
Qiu Shui looked at the poison powder from a distance, frowned and asked, "It's been so many years, can these powders still be useful?"
Linglong pursed her lips and said softly: "My mother said that the medicinal effect of these things will not fade after many years."
After saying that, he glanced at the sky and told Qiu Shui: "Okay, go to the kitchen to see if the snacks are ready. It's time to send them to Qi Zhen."
When the Qizhen people are away, no one is allowed to enter the study.
If Linglong wanted to escape from the secret passage in the study, she could only go in when Qi Zhen was in the study.
But Qi Zhen was in the study, and she wanted to run away from the secret passage of the study in front of Qi Zhen, which was simply a fantasy.
Linglong thought about it and thought of the poisonous powder left by her mother.
Qi Zhen didn't know that Linglong's mother was a charlatan, and naturally he didn't know that Linglong secretly hid the poisonous powder.
The rules in the East Palace are strict, and Qi Zhen takes these rules very seriously. Linglong knows that if Qi Zhen finds out that she keeps the poisonous powder, she will be forced to throw it away.
She wanted to keep her mother's belongings, so she deliberately hid it from Qi Zhen and never told him about it.
Qiu Shui brought the snacks she had just made in the small kitchen and returned to the inner room. Linglong raised her eyes and glanced, then looked back and cast her eyes on the dark box containing various poisonous powders.
She pursed her lips tightly, her fingertips trembled slightly, and selected the corner package.
This packet of medicinal powder is exactly the same as the one Linglong used on Shen Luan when he was seven years old.
Linglong's heart trembled when she picked it up. Thinking of Qi Zhen's face, she felt a little timid.
But she hesitated for a while and finally took the powder.
Linglong comforted herself in her heart and said, it's okay, it's okay. Her father was poisoned by this poison, and he was cured later. His eyes just lost sight temporarily, but he can still see in the future. Qi Zhen was poisoned by this poison. It should be no big deal.
Besides, this medicine powder was sprinkled into the eyes of my father back then. Naturally, the medicine had a strong effect. Maybe Qi Zhen was only slightly blind and recovered after a while, so it must be no serious problem.
Linglong took the dessert plate from Qiu Shui and sprinkled the medicinal powder on it.
The medicinal powder is fine and tasteless, and it melts into the powder layer of the pastry after a while.
Linglong's eyes were stunned and she was silent for a while before she said, "Qiushui, when I enter the study later, you can take this baggage out of the East Palace and say that I sent you to the Hou Mansion to deliver something to Luoxia. " After saying this, he clenched his palms tightly.
"My slave has taken note of it," Qiu Shui responded.
