Chapter 02
Huilan waited until Dingxiang went to the next room to lie down, and then she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Their house is not big, it is a small suite, and there is an even smaller house next door, which is only big enough for one person. It is usually occupied by the eldest maid, so that she can serve the master more conveniently.
Huilan waited for a while and there was no movement, then she turned her hand and found a pill and a glass of water.
She thought for a moment, cut the pill in half with her fingernail, ate half of it, put the other half back, and drank the glass of water.
This is her own medicine-refining space, a treasure passed down from her family. She is the only one left in the family. She has learned to make medicine in this space, and her life is pretty good.
It's a pity that her spiritual roots were mixed and she couldn't go too far. She was targeted by bad guys who wanted to imprison her to refine medicine, but they both died together. She thought she would disappear, but she didn't expect that she would time travel to Donggong Xiaoliangyuan's body.
It’s still a pleasure to be reborn, and I’ll be at peace now that I’ve come. If I can’t practice, there will be less bloodshed and fighting, and my life can be more stable, which is not a bad thing.
A variety of low- and mid-level medicinal materials were planted in the medicine refining space, and some high-level medicinal materials were grown from seeds. This was all she could afford.
There are spiritual springs left by ancestors in the space, which have a nourishing effect on the body and have excellent health-preserving effects even on mortals.
Half of the pills I just took are Peiyuan pills, which are given to children to strengthen the body and stabilize the Peiyuan effect.
This little girl is indeed a little weak and her foundation is not very good, but she is not worried about this. She will take good care of her in the future to ensure that she is strong.
What needs to be solved now is to leave Li Liangdi's Yilan Palace and spend time alone, even if it's in a corner.
She was still very hungry, but there was no food in her space, only medicine.
It means nothing if it enters the space. It will be easily discovered by others. You have to be careful not to enter the space in the future.
She endured her hunger and closed her eyes for a while, perhaps because her body was too tired and hadn't recovered yet, so she fell asleep after a while.
Feeling someone approaching her in the middle of the night, Huilan woke up alertly, and soon realized that Dingxiang got up and touched her forehead to make sure she didn't have a fever again, then she breathed a sigh of relief and went back to sleep.
This made Huilan identify more with this Ding Xiang. If she doesn't betray her in the future, she will always protect her.
Lilac got up early the next morning and made shoes in a bright place by the window.
Huilan had a good night's sleep and took half a pill last night. She felt that she had some strength and her spirits were much better.
"Master, you're awake, don't get up and lie down."
"It's okay. I wanted to get up and take a walk. My bones are stiff from lying down. Is there any water? I'll wash my face."
"Okay, miss, please sit down first. I'll get some water for you, but it's only cold water."
"fine."
Huilan washed herself with clean water and asked Ding Xiang to comb her hair again to look neater.
"Master, I'm going to see if there is any food."
"Go ahead and do as I say."
Huilan raised a confident smile towards her.
"yes."
Ding Xiang went out to serve the meal, deliberately taking a step late. She waited until Li Liangdi's maid took away the food box before she took a step forward.
He bowed to the little eunuch who brought the meal and said, "Eunuch, my Liang Yuan is seriously ill again. Please do me a favor and send a message to the prince's father-in-law, whoever is in front of you."
After all, my young lady is also the daughter of a fourth-rank official. She came through the draft and was even praised by the Empress Dowager. If she died in such an unexplained way, the Prince would also be criticized for treating the people in the harem harshly.
Once it is found out, you will not be able to escape punishment, my father-in-law. Please give a message to the father-in-law who is in front of the prince. Please."
The sun is getting a bit high now, and it's very hot outside. No one stays outside, so they all go indoors to cool off.
Ding Xiang knelt down without saying a word, reached up to pull his sleeves, and quietly stuffed a gold bracelet into his hand.
Eunuch Yu shook his bracelet and looked around to see that no one was there. He pulled Dingxiang up and walked to the shade of the big tree in the corner. Using the shade of the tree, he defended in a low voice, "I brought you more buns. Yours."
The case was used as a favor by Hong Ling.
It’s not that I won’t give it to you, little ancestor, you can’t cheat me, I’ve never harmed your master.”
"Eunuch Yu, I know you are a good person. You even gave me a pancake. Please give me a message. Otherwise something will really happen."
Ding Xiang cried and begged him, her eyes misty with tears.
Eunuch Yu lowered his head and thought about it, and he didn't hear that the prince disliked this Liangyuan. The main reason was that this Ding Liangyuan was under fifteen and only fourteen years old.
The Li Dynasty is a 13-year-old draft, and Ding Liangyuan is within the standard, but is actually not even close to the hairpin.
If he was really dead, it would be terrible if something happened, and the people under them would be the unlucky ones.
"Okay, Zajia will definitely tell you what to say. It's up to you whether you can complain about it or not."
"Thank you, father-in-law. I can't let you spend your money in vain. This is all our money. Let's give it all to you."
Ding Xiang followed Huilan's instructions and finally stuffed another twenty taels of silver notes over.
Eunuch Yu put the food box on the ground, took out two large buns from the bottom layer and handed them to her.
"Here, I hid it on purpose. Don't say I'm unkind and cool. I don't dare to offend Li Liangdi."
Eunuch Yu looked around cautiously before telling the truth.
"Thank you, father-in-law. I know you are in trouble too."
Ding Xiang hid the two big buns in her sleeves and lowered her head carefully.
"You go back first, I will send you a meal at noon and get back to you."
Eunuch Yu hid the gold bracelet and banknotes, then walked away carrying the food box.
Ding Xiang returned to the room and suppressed her excited voice, "Miss, he accepted it and promised to reply during lunch. He also gave me two big buns, which seem to be plain."
Huilan also smiled and said, "Just accept it and wait for the news. Come and sit down."
Ding Xiang also sat down and gave her both buns.
Huilan pushed one to her, "I'm not in good health and can't eat so much and it's easy to accumulate food. You should eat too. We have to fight a tough battle in the afternoon."
"Thank you, miss."
Ding Xiang thought for a while before agreeing to eat the big bun.
The buns are as fluffy and soft as steamed buns, so they are basically eaten by servants. They are made with tofu, fungus and other vegetarian dishes, but they still taste pretty good.
Huilan ate hungrily. Seeing that Ding Xiang was still hesitating, she broke off half of the bun and frowned, "Eat quickly, don't leave any leftovers. You may not have anything to eat at night. You've eaten everything."
Ding Xiang nodded cautiously and started eating.
Each person ate one steamed bun to barely cushion her stomach. Huilan drank several more cups of Lingquan water, and just poured some into the teapot while Lilac was not around.
Huilan was still very weak. She felt a little sleepy after eating, so she crawled back to the bed and said, "Ding Xiang, keep an eye on me. I'll take a nap."
"good."
Ding Xiang covered her with a thin quilt and sat at the window to make shoes so that she could watch every move outside.
However, Eunuch Yu got Ding Xiang's money and warning, and he was also worried that something would happen. If he died, it would cause a big fuss.
He quickly went to the study and poked his head around the door, trying to find Eunuch Chang Ji Chang who was serving the prince personally.
"Who is that? Come out and speak."
