Chapter 275

What was the true mystery of this bottle of potion?

Wei Yan didn’t explain, and Ling Jingshu didn’t pursue

-Only nodded cautiously, “Don’t worry, I know the weight, I won’t let anyone notice”

Wei Yan thought for a moment and then whispered, “You must also be prepared for the worst

If you really can’t cover it up, you’ll give me up

Just say that I’m the one who held the favor and forced you to do it

No matter what, the most important thing is to preserve yourself”

Ling Jingshu frowned slightly and was about to say something when Wei Yan quickly said, “You’ve been in the palace for only three months, serving flowers and plants in the Pepper Room Hall all day long, and you’ve barely been out of the Pepper Room Hall

Every move is under the eye of Empress Xu

Empress Xu called you into the palace, originally did not harbor any good intentions

No matter how well you perform, you won’t become Empress Xu’s beloved”As for me, you don’t have to worry

I’ve been in the palace for so many years, and I secretly have my own connections

It’s in the Pepper Room Hall, whoever I want to secretly pass a message to won’t be noticed by Empress Xu

I have the support of the Emperor and my big sister

There’s nothing Empress Xu can do to take me”So, when it comes to the crunch, you mustn’t hesitate and make sure to put everything on my head

Save your life first and wait for me to save you”

Wei Yan spoke very solemnly

Ling Jingshu did not make any pretense and quickly nodded her head in response

-Wei Yan then sighed in relief, and lowered his voice to say the name of an inner servant, “When you encounter something critical, let Bai Yu go to him, and he will pass the news to me”

Ling Jingshu recited the name several times in her mind, memorizing it firmly

Time alone was cherished and rare

After Wei Yan finished his business, it was time to leave

But he froze and couldn’t move his feet, his gaze lingering on her pretty face

How good it would be if time stopped at this moment!

Wei Yan secretly sighed in his heart and said, ”Anyway, take care of yourself

It’s inconvenient for me to stay here longer, so I’m leaving now”

Ling Jingshu was a bit reluctant to part with her heart, and softly hmmm’d

After entering the palace, the two of them were obviously closer, but the chances of meeting were less

After this time, I don’t know when the next time they would meet and talk alone would be

After Wei Yan left, Bai Yu quickly entered Peony’s room and explained in a low voice, ”Just now, when the slave girl was moving Peony out, Imperial Doctor Wei came

He instructed the two of us, slave girl and Tian Dong, to stand guard outside to let the wind out, saying that he had something to say to Miss alone

The slave girl then responded”It’s also fortunate that this place is secluded and quiet, basically no one comes here on weekdays

Imperial Doctor Wei came and went, so he shouldn’t have been noticed

-After finishing, she asked tentatively, “Miss, is it because of your illness that Dr Wei came to see you?”

Ling Jingshu nodded her head with a calm demeanor, “Yes He wanted to continue prescribing medicine for me, but I politely declined

This is after all in the palace, I definitely can’t hide my daily boiling and drinking of medicine from others, and it’s also just too eye-catching”

Bai Yu didn’t doubt it and said with a sigh, “That’s true

This medicine can only be stopped first”By the way, don’t tell Qiaoyun about Eunuch Wei having come to me today”

Ling Jingshu urged in a low voice

Bai Yu nodded and answered

After finishing the errands in Peony’s room, it was getting late

Ling Jingshu and Bai Yu had been moving flower pots for half a day, sweating and very tired

Qiao Yun greeted them and said with a smile, ”Miss, you and Bai Yu must be tired and exhausted

I received two buckets of hot water back from the kitchen, and have already mixed it with cold water, so quickly go take a bath to relieve your fatigue!”

Qiaoyun usually followed Ling Jingshu to the Peony Room to do her work, but every few days, she would disappear like this afternoon, presumably because the person who secretly went to the palace to receive the message had passed it on

Ling Jingshu also never asked too many questions, smiled at her words and responded, “You are very attentive, I was just about to take a bath!”

Qiaoyun smiled at Bai Yu again, “You also go back to the house to take a bath and change your clothes, miss here has me to serve”

Bai Yu smelled the sweaty odor of her own body, and did not politely talk to Qiaoyun: “That’s fine”

Qiaoyun came forward and waited for Ling Jingshu to change

The purse with the porcelain vase was placed in the hidden pocket of the dress

When Qiaoyun placed the clothes, she naturally took out the purse first and casually laughed, “What is Miss carrying in her purse today, it seems to be slightly heavier than usual”

Moreover, it was also a bit strange to touch

Inside the soft purse, there seemed to be something in the shape of a bottle

Ling Jingshu’s heart thumped, but her face was half-exposed, and she casually responded, “I go to the Peony Room every day to work, and for fear of getting sunburned and sunburned, I brought a bottle of scented lotion, which can be smeared on my face and arms”

It was natural for a woman to love beauty

Qiaoyun was more attentive and perceptive, but also didn’t expect this twisted mystery, smiled at the words, “In the past it was the slave girls who were too careless

Should have reminded Miss to bring some fragrant dew”

While saying this, she placed the purse on the table

Only then did Ling Jingshu quietly breathe a sigh of relief, secretly thinking in her heart that she would have to put this porcelain bottle away in the future

After taking off her clothes and soaking in the warm water for a while, Ling Jingshu let out a cozy and comfortable light sigh

Qiaoyun moved gently and carefully, washing Ling Jingshu’s long hair, and waiting to wipe her body and change into clean clothes

Then she wiped her long hair clean

After all this, Qiaoyun took out a small bamboo tube from her sleeve and slipped it into Ling Jingshu’s hand

The bamboo tube was stuffed with a rolled up piece of letter paper

Ling Jingshu was stunned and looked up at Qiaoyun, “What is this?”

Qiaoyun replied respectfully, “This is what His Highness ordered to be passed on to Miss

Please burn the letter once you have read it, miss, to avoid any future trouble”

After saying that, she retreated

Ling Jingshu held the bamboo tube, and complex and unspeakable flavors welled up in her heart

Today is his big wedding day, he is the bridegroom with all the attention and splendor, marrying a beautiful woman as his wife

At such a time, he even let someone pass a letter to her in the palace?

The light bamboo tube, held in her hand, was somewhat unusually heavy

Ling Jingshu hesitated for a long time before pulling out the paper roll from the bamboo tube and then opening it

On the thin letter paper, there were only a few lines

The handwriting was strong and powerful, yet somewhat messy

Obviously, his mood was by no means calm when he wrote these lines

Ling Jingshu, I’m getting married today, I’m going to marry my cousin from the Jiang family

The woman I truly love in my heart is you, and the person I want to marry is also you

Unfortunately, things didn’t work out as I had hoped, and the one who became my wife is someone else, not you

It was you yourself who rejected me

Now, you watch me marry someone else

Do you regret it in your heart?

Even just a little bit?

Ling Jingshu looked at the letter paper, and after a moment of silence, she brought it to the candle flame

The letter paper quickly burned cleanly, except for a little ash on the ground, there was no trace
