The second update, please be pink!
☆★☆★☆★
The moonlight is cold, and the radiance is shining on the white marble steps. There are large areas of unknown white flowers blooming around it, blooming in the quiet night.
Ma's long skirt of a vine green ray Luo Mizi stood under the corridor, like a graceful gladiolus, looking beautiful, but there was a gloomy between her eyebrows.
When she saw Lin Zhaoyan appear, a gentle smile came out on her originally sad face, "Here are you here? Are you in a hurry, right?"
Lin Zhaoyan walked forward a few steps. She saw that Ma was not happy, but she still responded to her words, "It's not bad. She played Ye Zi show with the Seventh Sister and the Fourth Princess."
"That's good." Ma took her hand, "Let's go home!"
"Yeah." Lin Zhaoyan nodded. She didn't ask much. If Ma was willing to say it, she would naturally say it. If she didn't want to, she wouldn't want to force others.
The two of them got on the carriage that left the palace.
The carriage was gradually moving away in the afterglow of the moonlight. Lin Zhaoyan couldn't help but lift the curtain and look outside. The towering Forbidden City was swallowed up in the night at this moment, covering its brilliant light. The tall and majestic buildings were like monsters released from the cage, with their teeth and claws, making people feel chilled.
Perhaps, this is the original expression of the Forbidden City.
After the glitz faded away, the real situation of people living in the Forbidden City.
If you are not careful, you will be swallowed alive and peeled alive by the skin and bones, and will never be reborn.
Lin Zhaoyan thought of the bright red in his dream, and his heart trembled suddenly, and he quickly put down the curtain to calm himself down.
"Zhao'er, what's wrong with you?" Ma asked worriedly when he saw this.
Lin Zhaoyan shook his head, "I'm fine."
Ma was still worried, "My face turned pale, as if she was scared."
Ma had studied medicine and was very accurate in judging people. Lin Zhaoyan could not hide this from her, so he had to say, "I just thought the palace was terrifying. Every step must be taken with caution. If you are not careful, you will be gnawed to death. I am just worried about Qimei."
When Ma heard this, he did not say good things to comfort her as Lin Zhaoyan expected, but sighed slightly and said thoughtfully: "Yes, this deep palace is just a place where people eat and not spit bones. Don't talk about the struggle between concubines in the palace, even the intrigue of my grandfather in the Imperial Hospital in the past, which was filled with smoke of gunpowder!"
Lin Zhaoyan smiled bitterly, "There are conflicts in places where there are people, but this Forbidden City is even more terrifying." She has never expected anything to be in peace with the world, and the years are peaceful, and she does not expect her future partner to love her as life. She just hopes that they can respect each other and that she can live well.
"Yes, the battles in the Forbidden City are not something that we can compare with in the inner courtyards. If we lose, we will lose at most profit and face, but in this deep palace, those who lose will be life!" Ma thought that this taciturn fourth sister was cautious and reliable, and smart. She was very comfortable chatting with her. She didn't need to be too careful. Some things were not hidden from her and said directly: "Zhao'er, do you know that this time my sister-in-law came to the palace to treat Concubine Wan's illness, which was not as simple as it seemed. If it was not a good thing, Concubine Wan was helpless this time."
Lin Zhaoyan had never met Concubine Wan and did not feel much about her accident. She just felt a little pity for the Seventh Prince who had met and had a good impression of him.
He was often bullied in the palace, but he only lived safely by virtue of Concubine Wan's favor. Since ancient times, the emperor has been very affectionate, and the new faces of the whole area have been replaced with old faces. Once Concubine Wan dies, the emperor will soon forget her. Who else can protect the seventh prince? Those who used to be dissatisfied with him are even more unscrupulous. How can his life be preserved?
"Really, there's no way?"
Ma sighed, "It's not impossible. It's just that the Seventh Prince has just recovered from illness. This method is too risky. If it doesn't work well, it will kill the Seventh Prince. I don't dare to do it."
What Ma thought was that the seventh prince was a descendant of the Tian family after all, and the emperor and the queen mother would definitely not be willing to let him take risks. After all, Concubine Wan was just a concubine, and without the support of her outside family, she could not cause much trouble even if she died.
Lin Zhaoyan frowned deeply, "What does this have to do with the Seventh Prince?"
Ma told Lin Zhaoyan about the way he could save Concubine Wan.
"That's how it is!" Lin Zhaoyan looked very sorry, "Concubine Wan only has the Seventh Prince, so there is really nothing to do."
"So I plan to send a letter back to my grandfather, maybe he can think of a solution."
"What about the imperial physicians in the palace? They really have no way to do anything?" Lin Zhaoyan felt that those imperial physicians were too incompetent. After all, those who could enter the imperial hospital were all amazing people. This depends on a female abortion to treat the disease. Wouldn't the imperial hospital be a decoration?
Ma waved his hand, "You don't understand the twists and turns here. This Imperial Hospital is not just about treating diseases and saving people. It is beyond your imagination. The emperor is also afraid that the matter of Concubine Wan will be exposed, which will be even more unfavorable to her."
"Oh." Lin Zhaoyan couldn't express any opinions. After all, she really didn't understand these things at all, so she could only pray in her heart that Concubine Wan could get better as soon as possible.
The Jian'an Marquis Mansion arrived soon, and Lin Zhaoyan and Ma had already pressed down on the previous topic. After all, this was about the palace, and Lin Zhaoyan didn't want to ask too much.
When I returned to Qinfang Pavilion, I didn’t expect that Lin Ruoyan was there too.
Lin Zhaoyan was shocked when he saw her, "Why are you here?"
Lin Ruoyan walked forward a few steps and said anxiously: "I heard you went to the palace? How about it, is it okay?"
"What can I do? I just accompany my sister-in-law into the palace." Lin Zhaoyan pulled her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry about me."
"How can I not worry? You went to the palace rashly, and no one was with you. The Fourth Princess is so difficult. You offended her last time. What if you were plotted against her? You are really not going to discuss it with me and my mother." Lin Ruoyan pouted, looking very aggrieved.
Lin Zhaoyan laughed "puffed" and felt warm in his heart.
Lin Ruoyan said again: "It's good that you'll be back. Let's go with me to Luyutang and tell your mother that you're back. She's also worried about you!"
Lin Zhaoyan felt sweet in her heart. Liu was really nice to her now, so good that she felt that the bad treatment and grievances she had in the past were nothing.
It's great to have the love of her mother, so she hopes that Concubine Wan can get better too and not let the Seventh Prince suffer the pain of losing her mother at a young age.
The two sisters came to Luyutang hand in hand. Lin’s mother had long been looking out of the door. When she saw Lin Zhaoyan appear, she had no time to pay tribute to Lin Zhaoyan and the others. She quickly turned around and ran into the room and whispered: “Madam, the fourth girl is back, the fourth girl is back!”
Then he soon saw Liu leave the house, rushed directly to Lin Zhaoyan, and said nervously: "How is it? Nothing happened in the palace, nothing strange happened, right?"
Lin Zhaoyan felt an indescribable sense of happiness in his heart, so he forgot to wonder why Liu had such a big reaction to her entering the palace.
"Mother, don't worry, I'm fine, I just had a fight with Qimei and the Fourth Princess for a while."
"that's all?"
"Well, that's it. I just accompanied my sister-in-law to the palace, and I'm not doing anything."
Liu then breathed a sigh of relief, "I heard that something happened to Concubine Wan. Why did you suddenly enter the palace? I was very scared."
Lin Zhaoyan smiled, "Just accompanying him, so that people outside will not lose their sister-in-law's face."
Liu was also amused by her naughty words, but she deliberately looked stern, "You! You are not allowed to make such a good decision in the future. If you want to enter the palace, you must say hello to your mother in advance so that I won't be worried about you."
"Okay, okay, my daughter obeys the order!" Lin Zhaoyan held Liu's hand. She could now act naturally with Liu, and would never feel awkward and weird again.
Liu lit her forehead again, pulled her into the room, and said that she had made delicious red bean pastry for her and Lin Ruoyan to eat.
The mother and daughter entered the house intimately.
No one noticed the gloomy flashing in Liu's eyes.
Zhaoer, if possible, mother hopes that you will never know the truth.
Xu Wanru, if you die, the secret may always be a secret.
