Chapter 423: Approaching the Queen
After the queen left, Wan Xin said to Mingyue, "Get up quickly, the person has left."
Jinli quickly helped Mingyue up and saw that she was already full of tears. Wan Xin quickly wiped her tears, "Stop crying, this is scary."
As soon as Wan Xin wiped her handkerchief, Mingyue avoided it, "Miss, it's not in accordance with the rules, I... I'd better do it myself."
Wan Xin gave up helplessly, "I know I'm wronged you. This is the palace, not as good as the home. You can endure everything first."
Mingyue, who was still sobbing, nodded, "Miss, I know, I understand. I cry not for myself, but for fear of implicating you. The Empress was so scary just now. I am really afraid that Miss, you will be wronged because of me."
Wan Xin has experienced what happened in Jinli just now, and now she sees Mingyue considering herself in advance. In this cold harem and the unpredictable people's hearts, it is so rare that there is someone who can put himself first. Wan Xin glanced at Jinli standing beside her, and said quietly, "Jinli, teach Mingyue the rules in the harem. She is just here and doesn't know anything. Don't bump into any noble people."
Seeing that Wan Xin actually gave him the work of teaching Mingyue to him, Jinli felt that he was valued and thought: Looking at Mingyue is Wan Xin's confidant, but now it seems that it won't take long to replace him.
Jinli's thoughts had completely fallen into Wanxin's eyes. Seeing Jinli's ambition, she felt a little more at ease. As long as there are ambitious people, there will be loopholes, and she is afraid that those who have no desires and no desires will be the most difficult to deal with.
"Miss, I will definitely study hard and will not be reckless again." Mingyue expressed her sincerity to Wanxin, "Jinli, I'll trouble you."
"Jinli, can you help Mingyue get a set of palace maids' clothes? Although she lives here temporarily, she should wear uniform clothes."
"Okay, Miss, I'll go now." Jinli got another task. Wanxin didn't want to hand over such things to Mingyue, because she was obviously afraid that she would cause trouble again when she went out.
"Miss, you are afraid that I will cause trouble, so you don't let me go with Jinli." Mingyue looked at Wan Xin with some grievance, feeling unwilling, but helpless. The lady used to trust her so much, and handed over all the tasks to her, but now, she doesn't dare to let her go if she gets clothes so simple. Is she really so useless?
"Of course not, Mingyue, listen to me..." Wan Xin carefully explained all his thoughts and concerns to Mingyue.
After listening to it, Mingyue understood the pros and cons. "It turned out that the lady was specially sent to her and said these words to me."
Wan Xin shook her head helplessly, "There are ears in the palace walls. I asked you to learn etiquette from her and I also helped me supervise her. Is there any way for her now? If she really can't tell who is her master, then this person will definitely not be able to stay."
"But Miss, do you really want to use her to get close to the queen? I think the queen is not a good person, I'm afraid..." Mingyue was so scared that she trembled all over when she thought of the scene just now.
"Mingyue." Wan Xin slapped Mingyue sternly, "This is my only chance. If I miss it, how should I enter the treasure house? Now I happen to live in the palace, and now we have enemies on all sides, and the queen is our best and only shade. If it is not used, what value does the injury I have?"
"Miss, you shouldn't be..." Mingyue suddenly realized something and widened her eyes in horror. "Miss, you are too reckless in your behavior. If something really happens, what should you do to the young master's wife and the young lady?"
When she heard Xuan'er's name, Wan Xin's gaze became softer. She held Mingyue's hand and told her unwaveringly, "Mingyue, if you are afraid, I will not blame you at all when you leave the palace and go home. But if you stay here, don't have any doubts or panic. The first step to victory is to have strong beliefs, do you know?"
Mingyue nodded with a slight understanding, "Miss, I listen to you in everything. If this matter is so dangerous, I would suggest Bai Zhi not to enter the palace, because her temperament is too direct."
"I'm just thinking that Bai Zhi is still young and can't handle the things in this palace at all. You who are usually steady may make mistakes in the palace, let alone her. Tomorrow you will learn the rules of the palace from Jinli Haosheng." Wan Xin changed the subject and began to warn Mingyue earnestly.
"Miss, don't worry. I will teach Mingyue well and will not let her make any mistakes." Jinli just walked in with her clothes in her arms, and happened to hear the second half of Wan Xin's words to Mingyue. "Mingyue, this is your clothes, please change them quickly if you take the time."
"Thank you, Miss Jinli." Mingyue held the clothes, and the clothes in the palace were good, even the clothes of the palace maids were so well-deserved.
"Why are you and I polite? Who is older, and how will your sisters be like in the future?" Jinli held Mingyue and asked enthusiastically.
"Okay, I'm almost sixteen."
"Then I want to call you Sister Yue, and you call me Sister Jinli."
"I'm so happy to see you two get along so well." Wan Xin looked at the two maids with a smile. Just as Jin Li turned around, Wan Xin's gaze suddenly became extremely sharp, and it stabbed into Jin Li's back like a sharp knife.
Wanxin was so wounded in the palace. She usually didn't go anywhere except the Queen's bedroom. She also chanted scriptures with the Queen. She was afraid that her injuries would not heal, so she refused to let Wanxin kneel in front of the Buddha all day long. Wanxin obeyed all the words of the Queen. As long as the Queen issued an order to expel the guest, she would immediately get up and return to her room.
On this day, Wan Xin came out of the queen's palace. Thinking about the conversation with the queen today, the queen now appreciated her even more, and even said that if she had not been granted marriage by the emperor, she would accept her as her adopted daughter. Wan Xin knew that although the queen said this, she was still far from her in her heart. Jinli was a good proof. If she really trusted her, she would not be sent to monitor her.
According to Mingyue’s report, Jinli will go back to Lingxi the next day, which is to report Wanxin’s situation. How should I do now to make the Empress completely believe in me, or to let the Empress owe me a favor and to propose the matter of going to the treasure house?
Wanxin thought while walking back. She walked this road every day and was already completely familiar with it, so she lowered her head and walked quickly. Just when she was about to reach the small courtyard where she was temporarily living, a pair of gorgeous embroidered shoes appeared in front of her. Wanxin raised her head and saw the person she was very familiar with - Rong Le.
When Rong Le saw Wan Xin, he sneered, "Why can't you treat me when I see this princess? Now you are not the fifth princess yet, don't you know any rules?"
Wan Xin sighed in her heart. She didn't bring anyone around her today. She hadn't met anyone she didn't want to see for so many days. Unexpectedly, she was careless today and actually met her mortal enemy. She smiled slightly and took a step back and gave a regular greeting.
Rong Le looked at Wan Xin who was performing the salute and did not let her get up, but instead took another step towards Wan Xin. "Remember your identity, I will always be a noble princess, and you are the untouchables who are so lowly that they are in the soil."
"If the princess has nothing to do, the girl will surrender." Wan Xin was unwilling to take Rong Le for a moment, so she wanted to leave sideways.
Seeing that Wanxin was about to leave, Rong Le took a step and blocked Wanxin's footsteps. Wanxin took another step to the other side again, and Rong Le blocked her way again. Wanxin sighed helplessly, "Princess, what are you doing?"
Rong Le smiled contemptuously, "I don't want to let you go, what can you do?"
Wan Xin took a step back, "What's wrong with the princess stopping the girl? The girl will go to the Queen's place later..."
"Don't use the queen to suppress me. I know where you just came out of her. If you didn't watch it, you would really curry favor with the queen. Today I just don't let you go back. I think you can do anything to me?" Rong Le showed a scoundrel, "Shen Wanxin, you have to know where this place is. Who has the final say here? Even if you have been granted marriage by the emperor, it depends on whether you have the life to become the fifth princess!"
Wan Xin saw Rong Le's expression and knew it was not good. Rong Le burst into tears and fell to the ground, picked up a stone, and knocked her head. But she didn't dare to take ruthless measures against her, but just patted her gently, her forehead was a little red, which made her face ferocious.
Wan Xin looked at Rong Le's performance without saying a word, and already understood which one she was going to start singing. It seemed that the harem was exactly the same as the inner house, but it was just a trick between women. Rong Le's method was really a few ranks away from Liu's.
"Come, come..." Rong Le fell to the ground and kept shouting, and the footsteps of the Imperial Guards were already heard not far away.
Wan Xin squatted down, approached Rong Le and looked at her, then picked up the stone that Rong Le had just smashed him. He glanced at her faintly. Rong Le was so scared by Wan Xin's eyes that he suddenly trembled, "What trick are you going to do?"
Wan Xin smiled coldly, "The way to cure the other person." As soon as he finished speaking, he smashed his stone hard on his forehead, and blood suddenly surged like a fountain. "Princess, if you do a show, you must pay some price, it will look real."
Wan Xin reached out to Rongle. Rongle couldn't dodge and asked in panic, "What are you going to do? I tell you that the Imperial Guard is coming soon. Do you think your head is a little broken, and it's okay?"
Wanxin pulled out a silver hairpin from Rongle's head and slowly inserted it into her newly scabbed shoulder. The wound instantly broke and blood turned red like a spring. Then she threw the hairpin on the edge of Rongle's skirt. Because there was blood on the hairpin, Rongle's skirt was instantly stained with Wanxin's blood.
Rongle has never seen such a life-deserving scene. She already regrets why she called for someone? "You...you..." Rongle stuttered and couldn't speak.
Wan Xin looked up and saw the Imperial Guards coming soon, and shouted softly. The sound was just enough for the Imperial Guards to hear it word for word, "Princess, I know you care about the fifth prince, but what are you doing? Why are you so cruel to me?"
Just as the Imperial Guard was approaching them, Wan Xin fainted on the ground when his eyes closed. Rong Le was already stunned at this time. Seeing the Imperial Guard hurriedly picking Wan Xin up, the leader of the Imperial Guard glanced at Rong Le, but did not say anything. Instead, he asked the others to pick up the hairpin and stones on Rong Le's skirt, and asked someone to notify Doctor Qin as soon as possible.
Rong Le recovered at this time and exclaimed, "No matter what I do, it is her, she. Do you believe me?"
The leader of the Imperial Guard was a young man, who was once Chen Qiang's subordinate named Duan Yuanjie, and he also met Chen Wanxin. "The princess doesn't need to say this to her subordinates. She wants to send the prince to heal her wounds. Please take care of herself."
"I'm injured too!" Rong Le sat down on the ground and shouted.
Duan Yuanjie stopped and said, "I will notify the imperial physician immediately to treat the princess. You will escort the princess back to the palace."
Rong Le didn't know why things had developed like this, and it was not like this according to her mother's plan. After she was injured, she would attract the Imperial Guards and see that Chen Wanxin hurt her. She could be said to be Wanxin without etiquette. After the two said a few words, they injured her. How could such a person without etiquette become the royal wife? The Emperor of Beiliang, who valued face the most, would definitely reconsider this matter. Then, it would be easier to punish Wanxin. But she never expected that Wanxin would hate herself so much. Wouldn't a person who could even take cruel measures to others...
Rong Le couldn't help but trembled all over, and ran to Concubine Cao's bedroom. The guard who escorted her was startled by Rong Le's actions, but thought of the task assigned to him by Duan Yuanjie, which was worth chasing Rong Le's footsteps from behind.
Qin Shudan quickly came to Rongle's house. Seeing her wound, she couldn't help frowning and turned around and asked, "How could this happen?"
At this time, Mingyue was crying and couldn't speak. Jinli said tremblingly, "I, I don't know. The lady just went to the queen to recite the Buddha's name. On the way back, she met Princess Rongle..."
"Why aren't you guys with her?" Qin Shudan began to stop bleeding for Wan Xin. When he saw the just-scabbed wound burst out again, he would definitely leave a scar.
"I... the lady said we don't need to go. I just happened to teach the rules of Mingyue Palace, so..." Ling Xi did not expect that only if she didn't accompany Wanxin to travel today would have such an accident. Could it be that Princess Rongle was staring at Wanxin's every move every day?
"What's going on? Wanxin, Wanxin..." Liu Fanchen strode in from outside. He was still wearing court uniforms. It seemed that he came here directly from the court.
"The Fifth Prince, when the subordinates saw the county monarch, she had already fallen to the ground, with Princess Rongle around her, and there was this thing." Duan Yuanjie handed the hairpin and stone to Liu Fanchen with both hands.
Liu Fanchen took these two items and held them hard in his palm. Looking at Wan Xin, who was pale on the bed, he felt as if he was cut off. He had to leave her in the palace to make her cultivate well, but who knew she would be attacked.
Princess Rongle! Liu Fanchen's eyes narrowed, and no one could see his eyes clearly, but the anger emanated from his body made everyone tremble.
