The prince's personal bodyguard

Chapter 45: Concubine Lan (1)

After the morning court session, the prince saw Bai Xinyin standing outside the palace, confused.

"Why are you standing here today?" Mu Yunxiao asked

"I guess the emperor missed me, or it could be that the prescription I prescribed cured his illness, so it's not certain that he will reward me." Bai Xinyin lied.

"Oh, then I will wait for you here too." Mu Yunxiao had a blank expression on his face.

After a while, the eunuch summoned Bai Xinyin to the imperial study.

In the imperial study, the emperor was reviewing memorials.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Dongcheng has arrived and is standing at the door." The eunuch reported.

"Let her in."

Bai Xinyin, Marquis of Dongcheng, lowered his head and entered the imperial study to kowtow to the emperor.

"I took the medicine you prescribed some time ago and felt relaxed physically and mentally. Can you come and see if I need any more treatment?"

Bai Xinyin looked at the emperor, then went over to take his pulse and found that he was indeed feeling much better.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is indeed much better. I will prescribe some medicinal food for Your Majesty to drink every day. In addition, I will prescribe a herb, Luobu Ma, to lower blood pressure. Just make a cup of tea every day and drink it."

"Okay!" The emperor was absolutely confident in Bai Xiyin's medical skills.

"Why don't you just be a leisurely marquis? Instead, go to Prince Rong's palace to be a small guard?" The emperor continued to review the memorials without raising his head.

"In reply to the emperor, it is very prestigious to work in Prince Rong's mansion. You can eat well, live well, there is not much work, and you don't have to worry about anything. You also get paid every month." Bai Xinyin kept talking nonsense.

"Look at what you have accomplished," the emperor raised his head and glanced at her, "Why did you bother the Ninth Prince yesterday?"

Finally got to the point.

"Which one is the Ninth Prince?" Bai Xinyin pretended to be dumbfounded.

"Pretending. The one at the palace gate yesterday." The emperor glanced at her.

"I thought it was a child brought by some minister. Shouldn't the prince be attending classes in the Shangshufang at that time?"

"Hmm?" The emperor went to Junlan Palace last night and spent some time with Concubine Lan. After a while, he heard Concubine Lan say that the Marquis of Dongcheng bullied the Ninth Prince, who was frightened and sick. He just wanted him to apologize to the Ninth Prince, but he forgot to ask for details. This girl is good at finding loopholes.

Looking at Bai Xinyin, the emperor fell into deep thought.

Ever since he separated from Feng'er, the emperor has become indifferent to matters between men and women, and the entire harem seems to be non-existent.

Only Concubine Lan, whose eyes are very similar to Feng'er, her smiles and her eyes full of affection are so touching. Sometimes I would go to Junlan Palace to see Concubine Lan, as if I could find Feng'er through her eyes, and recall the days I spent with Feng'er to comfort my lonely and sad mood.

"I heard that you asked him to call you big brother? And he has to listen to you? Huh?" There was a hint of majesty in his voice.

"I mistook him for someone else's child and played a joke on him. If I had known he was the Ninth Prince, I would never have dared to do that." Bai Xinyin pretended to be very scared and knelt down hurriedly.

The emperor's mouth curled up after the dragon case: Weren't you so bold when you made the pinky promise? Are you scared now?

For some reason, the emperor's heart softened when he saw Bai Xinyin kneeling. He knew she was pretending, but his heart still ached. He stopped teasing her and said, "Get up. The Ninth Prince was frightened yesterday and has a fever. Concubine Lan refused to comply. Women are always troublesome. I'll take you to apologize to him, and you can show him a look, and we'll let it go."

The emperor and Bai Xinyin, accompanied by the eunuchs, walked into Junlan Palace one after the other. Originally, the emperor arranged for Bai Xinyin to come by herself, but thinking of Concubine Lan's eyes and the scene of the night of lovemaking with Concubine Lan last night, he missed Concubine Lan a little and couldn't help but come.

Walking into Junlan Palace, the palace is not very big, but it is decorated in a fresh and elegant manner. The scenery in the palace is pleasant and well-arranged, which is pleasing to the eye. But Bai Xinyin feels that there is an evil spirit in this freshness.

It seemed that the Ninth Prince really had a fever. In the east wing of Junlan Palace, where the Ninth Prince rested, Concubine Lan was taking care of him. The imperial physician was also there, saying that he was frightened.

Was he so frightened? Feeling strange, Bai Xinyin was suspicious. He hadn't done anything excessive. Just those two sentences, for the Ninth Prince, who was always bold and domineering, were just a little frightened at the time, not scared to such an extent.

Let's go in and take a look. The eunuch at the door announced that the emperor had arrived. Bai Xinyin went in with the emperor, and Concubine Lan hurried out and bowed her head to greet the emperor.

Your Majesty, please excuse me. Concubine Lan slowly raised her head and looked at him, her eyes moving, full of affection and gentle as water. None of this escaped Bai Xinyin's eyes. Her son had a high fever, and she still had the time to flirt with a man?

Inadvertently seeing the young man behind her, Concubine Lan opened her eyes wide, then froze for a moment, and then went to the emperor: "I guess this must be the Marquis of Dongcheng. I wonder what the Marquis of Dongcheng did to the Ninth Prince yesterday? As a result, the prince had a high fever and was unconscious."

What he meant was that it was all your fault. If anything happened to the Ninth Prince, you couldn't escape the blame.

When Bai Xiyin heard this, she knew that Concubine Lan was not as soft-hearted as the outside world said, and she was probably not simple either. When the Queen Mother was being treated, Concubine Lan did not go to serve her. This was the first time she met Bai Xiyin.

Then he bowed his head and greeted: "Greetings, Madam Lan. I only joked with the Ninth Prince for a while and didn't do anything else. The Emperor asked me to come and see, and I will do my best."

I don't think you can see anything? Concubine Lan sneered in her heart, "If you dare to bully my son, even the prince will not let you go. Just wait and see, I will make you lose a layer of skin if you don't die."

Bai Xinyin walked to the Ninth Prince's bedside and felt his pulse. His pulse was steady and stable, without any abnormality. As soon as he let go of his hand, the Ninth Prince suddenly sat up and cried out, "Ah! Don't kill me, big brother!" Then he fell down and fainted.

Haha, are you playing this trick on me? If it was a few months ago, Bai Xinyin would definitely not know what was going on. But these few months in Baiyun Temple were not in vain. In addition, Mei Jiu said that she was protected by the body of a true god and had an extraordinary talent. She could also see through and crack ordinary evil spells.

Then he opened the Ninth Prince's eyelids and looked at the area just above his eyeballs.

Sure enough, a red line was haunted by the little ghost.

There are many diseases that Yang doctors cannot diagnose. Bai Xinyin feels lucky to have learned Yin medicine. If a black line appears above the eyeball, it usually means that the person has been hit by a black magic spell; if a gray line appears, it usually means that the person has been cursed; if a red line appears, it usually means that the person has been haunted by a ghost.

Do you want to make things difficult for me? No matter what the reason is today, no matter whether Concubine Lan is the one who killed her behind the scenes, this matter cannot be resolved peacefully.

Just as he was about to speak, someone reported: The Imperial Concubine heard that the Ninth Prince was ill and came to visit. The Emperor nodded, heard the sound of rings and pendants, and saw a person slowly walking into the room.

The woman was about thirty years old, gentle and beautiful, wearing a lotus-colored bodice, a crimson silk skirt embroidered with gold thread, and jingling rings on her belt. She had her hair combed high, with jade hairpins in her hair, willow-leaf phoenix eyes, and was graceful and elegant. She was the one who looked at Bai Xinyin in the Queen Mother's room that day.

After entering the door, she bowed slightly to the emperor, who waved his hand and said, "Please give my beloved concubine a seat."

A maid had already brought a chair and asked the imperial concubine to sit down. Seeing Bai Xinyin bowing to her, she smiled and nodded: "No need to bow."
