Chapter 43 The Concubine's Old Friend

She calmly left Fu Ling's sight. After passing the corner, she disguised herself as a passerby and took another route to escape.

At the same moment, Ye Rong, who was wearing a black hat, was pushed out of a shop.

"Please, sir, please save me! I can accept any conditions! Please!"

Just as Ye Rong was begging, the shop door slammed shut, and soon he heard the person inside reply:

"That thing in your body is not something ordinary people have. If you really want to survive, go find the person you need to find. My husband never wades into muddy waters. You should leave quickly!"

Ye Rong felt desperate after hearing this.

In the past few days, although the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion hired many doctors for her, due to their special status, they were unwilling to interact with Gu masters, so ordinary doctors could not cure her at all.

Once the news that she had offended Chu Lingyue spread, the Gu masters in the capital were even more unwilling to intervene. Even if she was in disguise now, if the other party found out that she had the fatal Gu in her body, they would only have to drive her away.

A loud bang of thunder exploded from the sky, Ye Rong's tears of hatred and annoyance fell down, and huge raindrops also followed.

But then a person appeared behind her, "What's the problem with just a little Gu? Come with me, I can save you."



Because of Fuling's words of "lead the way", Chu Lingyue realized that although she had kept her two new identities tightly concealed, she could not stand up to scrutiny if she did not perform well.

In order not to reveal her secret, she decided to give her two new identities a home.

She had just told her confidants to buy a new house, but she was found by the guards as soon as she left the house.

At this point, she had no choice but to return home under their escort.

When we returned to Prince Jing's Mansion, it was already raining heavily.

A young woman lingering at the door caught Chu Lingyue's attention.

When Zhang Ma saw her master coming back, she opened her umbrella and came to pick her up. When she passed by the woman, she didn't even look at her. She was so anxious that she hurriedly caught up with her and asked, "Mommy, did you get what I asked you to ask?"

As long as Chu Lingyue is present, Zhang Ma will never see her blindly.

After picking up her master, she hurriedly replied: "I asked about it, she said she doesn't want to see anyone. You should leave early and don't stay here blocking our grandma's way!"

After her words, the woman looked like she had just woken up from a big dream. She glanced at Chu Lingyue, twitched her lips, nodded dissatisfied, and left.

Just as he was about to leave, Chu Lingyue spoke: "From the Music and Dance Studio? Are you looking for Tang Shiling?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Chu Lingyue with a bit more hostility in her eyes: "I am just a former friend of the concubine. She has given me too many favors, and I am grateful to her."

Chu Lingyue frowned: "Inexplicable."

She was just curious, but this woman was so hostile? Are all those who have anything to do with Down syndrome mentally ill?

Chu Lingyue cursed in her heart, but she didn't bother to argue with her. Unexpectedly, before she could take a step forward, the woman stopped her in a panic:

"If Princess Jing wants to use the concubine's background to humiliate her, then there is no need! She is different from people like me! She is the eldest lady of the Tang family!"

Hearing this, Chu Lingyue's eyebrows curved.

The person in front of me is a bit interesting.

So she thought she was "bullying" Tang Shiling?

Smiling, Chu Lingyue glanced at the beautifully packaged thing she was still holding tightly in her hand, with a slightly sarcastic expression:

"You are nothing in her eyes, yet you still turn to her like this?"

"Princess Jing is used to using her power to suppress others. You can't be so bitter just because no one treats you sincerely. The concubine's absence from me is just because her body is not in good condition and it's inconvenient. I know her!"

The woman said in a cold voice, and the pride in her bones made Chu Lingyue appreciate her a little.

"If you are not afraid of power, you can live a clear life. But if you don't distinguish right from wrong, you can't be very clear."

After laughing, she motioned to Zhang Ma to give the umbrella to the woman, "Take her to our concubine. I said it was windy and rainy outside and it was too cold. I couldn't bear to take her in first to avoid it."

In less than half a moment, Zhang's mother came back from Tang Shiling's place with her daughter.

Chu Lingyue hasn't even changed her clothes yet.

Looking at the lonely woman in the mirror, she is completely unfazed.

The background of Tang Shiling Music and Dance Studio has been pinched to death in the hands of the Empress Dowager of Tang Dynasty, and she hates it to death.

Now that she has married into Prince Jing's palace, even though she is not favored, she is still a noble person whose status has been raised several times. How can she tolerate the shame of the past to jump under her nose?

"What's your name?" After finishing the arrangement, Chu Lingyue motioned the woman to sit down and poured her a cup of tea with her own hands.

The woman didn't reach out to take it, she was hesitating.

"It doesn't make any sense for me to bewitch you." Chu Lingyue explained somewhat amusingly.

It seems that Xi Zhao has a really bad impression of Gu Masters.

"...My name is Ming Yin." After taking the tea, Ming Yin looked at the person in front of her awkwardly, and before bringing it to her mouth, she said awkwardly: "Thank you, Princess Jing."

"She doesn't want to treat you, and it has nothing to do with your origin." Chu Lingyue said after taking a sip of tea.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Mingyin tightening the things in her hand that she had not given away, and her mood became calmer.

According to tracking Gu's feedback, Ming Yin was asked to stand still when she entered Tang Shiling's door. He didn't even look at her, let alone approach her.

He spoke no more than five sentences from beginning to end, and his attitude was cold and distant, as if he had never known Mingyin before.

Mingyin had faintly shown her inferiority complex when she was at the door of Prince Jing's Mansion. After being treated like this by Tang Shiling, how could she still dare to be arrogant?

"...I didn't expect that the friendship we grew up together would not be worth a man who is nothing in the end."

After a long silence, Mingyin suddenly spoke.

"He Zhiqing?" Chu Lingyue asked.

Mingyin paused and nodded, "Ling'er...oh no, the side concubine, she once loved the master, but He Zhiqing suddenly came to pursue me one day, and even though I refused, she still hated me. From then on

I've never been able to get close to her again."

Hearing this, Chu Lingyue smiled lightly and told Ma Zhang: "Let Chun Chao go to the kitchen and tell the kitchen that I want to eat something light tonight. You can take the girls and boys in the yard to wait in the hall. This girl and I will

After I finish speaking, I will personally send her there."

Seeing that she was intending to send everyone away, she looked lonely and sad as soon as her voice changed, and asked cautiously: "Princess Jing, do you want to...?"

"I want to know something about He Zhiqing. Just tell me what you know. But relax. Although Tang Shiling has issues with me, her stories about Chen Guzi and rotten sesame seeds are of no value to me, so they are not worth mentioning.

It does not constitute a condition for me to take advantage of this matter."

Looking at the evil woman in front of her who was rumored to be ruthless and murderous, Mingyin was a little surprised.

She didn't expect that Chu Lingyue could hit a straight ball.

After thinking for a while, she said: "Although I grew up with the concubine, but... I don't know much about He Zhiqing.

I remember many years ago, he had a pair of hands that could make his face beautiful, and he used this skill to make a lot of money. But in an accident, he broke the face of a noble lady, and he lost all his money and was almost beaten to death.

Since then, he has become depressed, hiding in his room every day and drawing random pictures.

I don’t know exactly what it is, because no one is allowed to enter his room except the concubine. I know that it is also a coincidence."

Speaking of this, Mingyin recalled something, and then added: "He disappeared for nearly a year before and after transferring Zuixiang Building, and soon after he came back, he opened the current Lingyin Building. But not long after he became stable,

He died accidentally during an outing.

Before the concubine married into Prince Jing's palace, she was in charge of the Lingyin Building. She would always clean He Zhiqing's room regularly. After she got married, the second-in-command took over the Lingyin Building. The second-in-command recently

He said that He Zhiqing's room was to be vacated, so I thought about tidying it up for the concubine, and found this thing. I came here to give it to her, but I didn't expect..."

Mingyin felt a lot of grievances, but her sobs soon subsided.

Handing the thing in her hand to Chu Lingyue, she felt a little embarrassed: "Prince Jing's house, you have the final say. If you want to give her something, she may not be able to refuse... I ask the princess to hand over this thing to her on my behalf. It is also my responsibility."

This is my last act of love for her."

When Chu Lingyue opened the box, took out a comb, turned it over and looked at it, she suddenly felt cold sweat!

There is a wolf totem engraved on the back of the comb, which is exactly the same as the totem on the mechanism drawing that Chu Beibei brought!

So He Zhiqing is good at machine arts?

Putting away all her surprise for a second, Chu Lingyue calmly agreed: "I will do it."

After sending Mingyin away, Chu Lingyue arrived at Tang Shiling's residence. Before she could take out the comb, the housekeeper rushed in on the ground.

"Grandma is not good! The leader of the caravan that went to Fuzhou with the prince came back and reported that the prince was robbed by water bandits. He was injured during the fight and fell into the water. When he was found, he was found to have suffered a serious head injury! After waking up, he had a serious memory deviation.

!Now we are on our way back to Beijing slowly!"

Hearing this, Chu Lingyue instantly understood that Chu Ban must be trying to do something when he lost his memory.

If he can ask someone to give him news, he must be hoping that he can cooperate.

Thinking about it, she immediately showed a panicked look: "Amnesia? What has he forgotten?"

"It is said that he can't remember anyone except himself... But don't worry! The prince has been talking about meeting his wife, and he will not forget you, grandma!"

Chu Lingyue deliberately didn't answer.

Tang Shiling on one side looked at her unhappy expression, an idea flashed in her mind, and she curled her lips and smiled secretly.

Chu Lingyue, who had already observed her with his peripheral vision, confirmed that she had taken the bait. He hummed softly, pretending to calm down, and handed the comb to her: "Mingyin entrusted me to give it to you."

After pretending to leave, she stopped under the window and watched every move of the people in the house.

But Tang Shiling was seen clenching the comb, the anger in his eyes seemed to turn into raging fire and burn it to ashes.

Snapped!

The comb was snapped in half!

Chu Lingyue's pupils twitched, and she quietly left with a look of surprise.

What is going on between Tang Shiling and He Zhiqing?

After dinner, Chu Lingyue pretended to go to bed early, put on the clothes of a maid in Prince Jing's Mansion, and "quietly" slipped away under the gaze of the person who was going to enter the house at night.
