Mo Xiang cried with joy, and after complaining to Ji Lingxue about how much she missed and worried about you, her face suddenly changed to a sad expression, "Princess, the Emperor has granted our prince another marriage, what should we do
The main reason is that Xiao Yichen has no descendants yet. This is what Mo Xiang is most worried about. If there are too many women in the backyard, it will easily become chaotic.
Mo Xiang: Princess, when will you get pregnant with the prince's child? This way you can keep the prince by your side forever. This way, the emperor and his men will no longer give concubines to the prince.
Ji Lingxue nodded. Yiyun was more cunning and scheming than Ji Yuqing. When these two women who both loved Xiao Yichen got together, the enemy would undoubtedly be a powerful one.
"I already know this. Don't look so sad. Smile a little more happily. By the way, where's An Ge?"
Mo Xiang pouted with an angry look on her face, "It's all his fault for leaving his post without permission and failing to protect you, Princess. After you were kidnapped and disappeared, the prince was the first one to punish him. He's probably still lying in bed unable to get out of bed now."
Ji Lingxue was stunned. To be honest, this matter could not be blamed entirely on An Ge. She was with Xiao Yichen on the day she was kidnapped, and An Ge had gone to deal with the assassin. Xiao Yichen did not punish himself first but blamed all the mistakes on An Ge.
Ji Lingxue shook her head and said, "Where is An Ge now? Take me there."
Mo Xiang nodded and took Ji Lingxue to the servants' courtyard. The servants' rooms all had dormitories. Mo Xiang asked around and finally found the room where An Ge was. He knocked on the door and heard a man's rough voice, "Who is it?"
Mo Xiang asked, "Is An Ge in there? I have something to ask him, can I come in?"
The man inside muttered something, but Mo Xiang didn't hear what he said clearly. After a while, the door opened. The man in shorts looked at Mo Xiang and made way for him. "Come in. An Ge is lying on the bed. He is covered with wounds and in so much pain that he can't sleep. Sigh, I don't know what he did wrong that the prince punished him with such a cruel punishment..."
Mo Xiang walked in with her head lowered, and Ji Lingxue followed behind her. Ji Lingxue was in a hurry to get up today, so she was still wearing simple plain clothes. In addition, she seldom came to the servants' yard, so no one really thought she was a princess.
Mo Xiang stood in front of An Ge's bed. An Ge was lying on the bed. Her eyelids moved and she slowly opened them. "Mo Xiang, you are here. Do you have any news about the princess?"
Looking at An Ge's pale face and weak voice, Mo Xiang felt sad. He took a step forward and suddenly held An Ge's hand. An Ge was startled to find that his wrist was already held by white fingers.
An Ge pursed his lips and lowered his head. The maidservant beside the princess was not simple and knew medical skills. The servants like them could not see a doctor when they were sick. He had been lying in bed for two days and felt uncomfortable all over, so it was a good time for Mo Xiang to take a look.
Seeing that Mo Xiang hadn't spoken for a long time, An Ge looked up at Mo Xiang and asked weakly: "Mo Xiang, am I okay? I've had a headache since this morning..."
Mo Xiang loosened his hand and pulled back the quilt covering An Ge. A foul smell immediately hit him. Mo Xiang frowned and said, "The sweat has soaked your wound. Don't you feel any pain?"
An Ge lowered his eyes and said, "It's not that I can't move. The palace was under martial law last night, and my colleagues were on duty. I woke up covered in sweat, and the wound was burning and painful, but I couldn't reach it, so I had to endure it."
Mo Xiang said nothing. When he turned around, Ji Lingxue stood at the door with a heavy face and said, "Mo Xiang, go get the medicine box and take care of An Ge's injuries first, then we can talk about anything else."
Mo Xiang nodded, turned around and ran out. An Ge looked at Ji Lingxue gratefully, feeling like they were meeting again after a long separation. "Thank you, Princess. I'm so glad you came back safely."
Ji Lingxue nodded and said, "Come back to protect me when you recover from your injuries." Then she turned and walked out.
At night, Xiao Yichen returned from the palace and brought Bai Mo and Lian Xiang. The three of them went to the palace to meet the emperor together and solved the case of the missing girl and the faceless female corpse. Lian Xin, as a survivor and witness, received consolation and pension from the emperor. After Lian Xin thanked the emperor for his grace, she was taken back to the palace by Xiao Yichen.
Ji Lingxue had been waiting in the living room since early morning. When she saw the three people come in, she put aside the questions she was going to ask Xiao Yichen and took Lian Xin's hand to ask her about her life. Lian Xin lived alone in the mountains and now she was a little scared after being kidnapped. So Ji Lingxue asked Lian Xin to stay with her as she was short of help.
Lian Xin nodded when she saw Xiao Yichen's tacit agreement. The two women went back to the yard while talking, leaving Bai Mo and Xiao Yichen looking at each other in bewilderment.
Bai Mo said: "Prince, your princess hasn't spoken a few words to you since you came in. Are they in a cold war again?" This couple is really interesting. When they are in good terms, they are of one mind, but when they are in a quarrel, they ignore each other.
Xiao Yichen said with a cold face: "It's all because of Xiao Yimo's imperial decree that granted marriage. He granted marriage to Yiyun as the concubine of Prince Chen."
Bai Mo's mouth twitched, "Yiyuen being your concubine, isn't that unfair to her?" Yiyuen is both talented and beautiful, and extremely intelligent. She is more than qualified to be the mistress of a wealthy family. Why would she be willing to be a concubine
Bai Mo was too lazy to worry about these things. After all, it was Xiao Yichen who caused the peach blossoms. He gave Xiao Yichen a look that told him to wish him good luck, and left in a carefree manner.
As soon as Bai Mo left, the maidservant beside Yiyun respectfully invited Xiao Yichen, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yun asked me to invite you over."
Xiao Yichen nodded. Okay, he also had some things to explain to Yiyun.
Xiao Yichen went to Evian's yard. Ji Yuqing was the first to receive the news. The fire of jealousy burned in her heart. After Zi Su left, Evian came. This time the marriage was arranged by the emperor. She was so lucky that even though she didn't have a grand wedding and was carried in through the side door, she was "favored" by the prince.
Ji Yuqing clenched the handkerchief tightly, and the handkerchief in her hand crumpled into a ball, just like her tangled and jealous heart at the moment.
In Yilan Courtyard, Ji Lingxue called out Mo Xiang and introduced her, "Mo Xiang, this is the Lian Xin I told you about. She also knows some medical knowledge. This time I was kidnapped by that perverted Yuchi Gongru, and I was fortunate to have Lian Xin taking care of me along the way."
Mo Xiang smiled and took Lian Xin's hand, with a look of gratitude on her face, which made Lian Xin feel a little embarrassed.
Lian Xin said, "It's not as exaggerated as the princess said. We met by chance and we are all women, so it's only natural that we should take care of each other. In fact, during those dark days, the princess took good care of me."
Mo Xiang smiled and said, "As soon as our princess came back, she mentioned the young lady to me. From now on, the young lady should treat this place as her own home. We will serve the princess well."
Ji Lingxue patted both of them on the shoulders and said with a smile: "Okay, we are all family from now on, so don't be polite when you come, and I will be polite when I leave."
Mo Xiang smiled, thinking of An Ge, and said hurriedly, "An Ge only suffered a superficial wound. The medicine for his wound is too poor, and there is no timely dressing. The wound looks a bit scary. I have already used the best medicine for him. He will be fine in two days."
Ji Lingxue nodded, "Okay, take Lianxin with you to familiarize herself with the environment. I need to rest now." Then she yawned.
Mo Xiang took Lian Xin and said goodbye. Ji Lingxue stretched, turned around, closed the window and went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Ji Lingxue heard someone coming into the room and getting on the bed. She opened her eyes hazily and took a look. Xiao Yichen patted her chest gently and said like coaxing a child, "Go to sleep."
Ji Lingxue hummed twice, turned over, and continued to look for Zhou Gong with her back to Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen sighed. He had been feeling upset for a really long time.
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, Xiao Yichen went to court early. The first thing Ji Lingxue did when she woke up was to take Mo Xiang out, and Liu Lianxin stayed in the yard.
When I walked to the flower hall, I heard giggling sounds in the distance. It was Ji Yuqing and Yiyun sitting in the flower hall having breakfast. I don't know what they were talking about, but they were laughing so happily.
Mo Xiang curled her lips and muttered quietly, "Master, it's annoying enough to have a concubine Qing in the mansion, and now there's another concubine Yun."
Ji Lingxue smiled and said, "Just think of them as big vases. There's nothing to be angry about."
"Sister?" Ji Lingxue was about to leave when Ji Yuqing's voice sounded behind her at the right time. Ji Lingxue turned around and walked towards the flower hall.
"Sister, are you getting ready to go out so early? Why don't you come and have breakfast with us before leaving?" Ji Yuqing said with a smile.
Ji Lingxue stood in the flower hall and glanced around with cold eyes. Yiyun and Ji Yuqing, who were sitting on the stools eating, inexplicably felt a sense of oppression and could not help but stand up.
Ji Yuqing looked at Ji Lingxue in confusion. Ji Lingxue usually seemed easy to talk to, so what happened today
Ji Lingxue glanced at the dishes on the table and said, "Osmanthus fish, Tremella soup, and steamed dumplings. The breakfast for the two of you is really rich."
Yiyun said aggrievedly: "The princess is angry that I waited for you to come before dining together. It was Sister Yuqing who said that the princess didn't like to dine with us, and the prince went to the morning court, so we... didn't invite the princess."
Ji Yuqing said: "Hey, sister Yiyun, don't be so nervous, we are all family, and I won't care about these rules, don't you think?"
Ji Yuqing smiled and sat down, saying, "Why are you standing here? Come sit down and eat together."
Yiyun and Ji Yuqing sat down, and the rest of the meal was not so pleasant.
Ji Lingxue asked: "What were you two sisters talking about just now? I heard your laughter from far away."
Ji Yuqing said: "Oh, we are blessed that our prince is very intelligent. He has solved all the difficult mysteries in the capital. We can finally have a good new year with peace of mind."
Ji Lingxue nodded, "Indeed."
Ji Yuqing took Ji Lingxue's arm and said, "Sister, are you going out shopping today? We haven't been out for a long time. It's almost the New Year and we have to buy some New Year goods. Sister, shall we go together?"
Ji Lingxue's mouth twitched, and she pulled out her hand and shook it. Ji Yuqing was acting coquettishly to the wrong person, right? She was not Xiao Yichen.
Ji Lingxue said: "Okay, I'm worried that I don't have anyone to go shopping with, so sister Yiyun can come too."
Yiyun nodded and smiled implicitly.
Mo Xiang stood aside and frowned. Ji Lingxue didn't go out to stroll around the street. The concubines on both sides deliberately tripped the princess. I wonder what conspiracy they are up to
