The matter of Concubine Shu was not over yet. As Liu Qiaoer had expected, the Marquis's wife sent Xie Yiyi to the palace and she became a palace maid in the name of serving the Queen.
The queen didn't like this cousin very much.
Liu Qiao'er didn't like it either, so there must be a reason why the Marquis's wife wanted to send her away instead of keeping her in the Marquis' Mansion.
Liu Qiaoer and Zhang Lingzhi talked as they walked. In addition to talking about matters in the harem, Zhang Lingzhi intentionally or unintentionally asked about Liu Qiaoer's affairs.
Liu Qiaoer is a thousand-year-old fox that has cultivated into a spirit. Unlike when she first met Lu Yunzheng, she didn't understand anything about love. As soon as she saw Zhang Lingzhi's shy look, she knew he was interested in her.
Liu Qiaoer readily told him everything about the original owner.
The original owner was a born child in a marquis's mansion. Her parents were servants in the mansion, so she was naturally a servant as well. She had been serving the prince since she was a child.
According to normal procedures, she should have become the prince's maid or concubine.
But, but, Liu Qiaoer came, she had medical skills, so naturally she couldn't become anyone's concubine.
Liu Qiaoer wants a beautiful love that will last a lifetime with only one partner.
The more beautifully she described love, the more she knew that Zhang Lingzhi couldn't do it, which meant that he should give up.
Unexpectedly, her words made Zhang Lingzhi's eyes light up.
"So this is what you think, girl. It's the same as what I think. I wish to find a person who loves me and stay with me till we grow old together."
Liu Qiaoer nodded. Although she felt this way, she was just a maid after all. It was okay for Zhang Lingzhi to like her, but it would be a bit difficult if he wanted to marry her.
However, Liu Qiaoer came to a conclusion. She didn't expect that this guy was actually a love-brained person.
The two were talking when suddenly, Zhang Lingzhi stopped and stared blankly ahead.
Liu Qiaoer lowered her head to play in the snow, and when she saw Zhang Lingzhi stopped, she asked, "Why don't you leave?"
When they looked up again, they saw the prince appear in front of them with his hands behind his back.
At first glance, when the prince is silent, he looks a bit like Cui Boxiao.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Qiaoer knew it was not the case.
The prince looked a little cold: "Are you okay in the palace?"
Liu Qiaoer bowed politely: "Thank you for your care, everything is fine."
The prince glanced at Liu Qiao'er with a sidelong glance and looked into the distance: "I didn't even know that you know medicine?"
Liu Qiaoer was stunned. Yes, this person should be the original owner. The original owner, Liu Qiaoer, did not know any medical skills. She grew up with the prince, so the prince knew her own worth.
Liu Qiao'er: "I don't understand. I just want to take care of the queen. The queen is pregnant now, and the marquis is worried, so she asked me to come to the palace to help."
She didn't want to come here on her own initiative; it was the Marquis's wife who asked her to come.
As for the reason, Liu Qiaoer looked at the prince with resentment: "The prince wanted to get engaged a while ago, and the girls from the Su family and the Hu family both had problems. The Marquis's wife felt that there were too many maids around the prince..."
Liu Qiaoer put the blame on the prince and the marquis' wife. The prince was going to get married, but something happened to both girls.
There is a rumor in the palace that there is a villain around the prince.
The Marquis's wife saw that Hu Bingxue had become the prince's maid, and she thought it was not a good thing to have too many women around the prince.
It makes sense to bring Liu Qiaoer into the palace, as Xie Yiyi has also entered the palace.
The prince didn't say anything else. He looked at the backs of Liu Qiaoer and Zhang Lingzhi, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
He always felt like something was missing, and something was not right. He didn't know if it was him or Liu Qiao'er who had changed. It felt like everything was wrong after he was hurt.
The sudden appearance of his cousin and the sudden departure of Liu Qiaoer made him very uncomfortable.
After thinking it over, he turned and went to the queen's palace.
The Queen was naturally very happy to see the Crown Prince, but at most she felt distressed.
"Brother, are you healed? Let me take a look."
The prince rolled up his sleeves, trying to lift his clothes, and smiled: "Okay, okay, Queen, don't worry. If I'm not well, mother and father won't let me go out."
The Queen didn't know how serious the Prince's injury was, only Liu Qiaoer knew.
When the prince was recuperating from his injuries, Liu Qiaoer had been taking care of him. Only when he was almost recovered did she let the marquis' wife take him home.
The Queen asked again: "I heard that you were injured during your trip to Southern Xinjiang. Someone hurt you on purpose. Do you know who it was? Tell me and I will avenge you."
From the time the Crown Prince went to Southern Xinjiang to the time he disappeared, and up to now, a full year has passed.
This year passed by in a flash, and when the prince was asked how he got the injuries on his body, he actually couldn't remember.
"I forgot. As far as I can remember, I seemed to have fallen into the water while in the Marquis' Mansion. After I woke up, I was injured and appeared in a courtyard outside the capital."
Liu Qiaoer was listening on the side. After the prince fell into the water, Cui Boxiao traveled through time and space to his body. When he woke up, he appeared at the gate of the villa, covered in wounds. Cui Boxiao was gone.
She didn’t know where Cui Boxiao had gone, but Liu Qiaoer saw that the prince was standing here intact.
The queen also felt puzzled and sighed: "It doesn't matter, as long as you remember who hurt you, I will seek justice for you sooner or later."
They are truly siblings, and I really feel sorry for them.
The prince smiled and his eyes rolled over Liu Qiaoer. Liu Qiaoer used to like the prince, and they almost succeeded that night after drinking too much.
But after Liu Qiao'er was beaten by Nanny Zhang, she was inexplicably sent to the palace by the Marquis's wife.
When the prince saw Liu Qiaoer again, he still liked her.
"Queen, I have something to ask of you..."
The queen glared at him coquettishly and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. There is nothing we siblings cannot ask for."
Prince: "If Qiao'er is uncomfortable in the palace, you should send her home. She serves me very well..."
The queen raised her eyebrows after hearing this and said earnestly, "My lord, it's time for you to get married. It's not that I don't want to give Qiao'er back to you, it's my mother who won't let me. Besides, isn't it Hu Bingxue you like? She's also a maid in your room. It's good for Qiao'er to follow me, so don't be too greedy."
This was rejected.
There are many beautiful maids in the prince's room. The reason why the marquis's wife sent Liu Qiaoer over was because she didn't want him to do anything stupid.
The prince didn't know why this happened suddenly. He looked at Liu Qiaoer again and felt as if she was a stranger.
After finally coaxing the prince away, the queen heaved a long sigh of relief: "It's time for the prince to get married."
It was late at night, the court officials and ladies had all left, and the hall had returned to silence.
Liu Qiao'er had also finished a tiring day and was just about to rest when Nanny Xing came running over in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is complaining of stomachache. The imperial physician has been called in."
The queen didn't care at all. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she was a little tired.
"Okay, got it. Let's go get more information. Oh, and give her a ginseng as a reward."
Although Concubine Shu's belly is less than three months pregnant, it is already known to everyone that she is pregnant. At today's dinner, she looked very pregnant.
The Queen would naturally give a reward. Since the pregnancy wouldn't last long anyway, why not be more generous.
Nanny Xing asked her maids to guard it.
In the early morning, she came to report that after a night of restoring the pregnancy, she was finally fine.
Whether it was really alright or not, Liu Qiaoer would go and ask Zhang Lingzhi and she would know immediately.
In the early morning, news from Du Zixu suddenly came to Liu Qiaoer's space.
