After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

The servant did not dare to report the matter, for fear of losing his life.

Xiao Tingyan woke up the next day and felt a big bump on his head.

The servant said that he fell off the bed at night.

Then he asked about the bruise on his neck. This time the servant did not dare to hide anything and told him the truth.

Xiao Tingyan hugged his legs and was stunned for a while, then he proposed to pay his respects to the Second Imperial Concubine.

The Second Imperial Concubine was drinking tea. When she heard Xiao Tingyan paying his respects to her, she was very disgusted.

"Let him in." The Second Princess wanted to see the purpose of Xiao Tingyan's visit.

The Second Princess looked at the child walking towards her outside the door and suddenly thought of her son who was sleeping in the ground.

She lowered her eyes to hide the hatred in them.

"Son pays his respects to mother." Xiao Tingyan stood still and saluted to the Second Imperial Concubine in a proper manner.

The Second Princess gestured for him to take a seat, and then drank her tea in silence.

"Mother, there is a ghost in my room. Can I move in and sleep with you?"

Xiao Tingyan looked at the Second Imperial Concubine with lifeless eyes.

A hint of sneer flashed across the Second Princess's lips. "Where do ghosts and gods come from in this world? Besides, even if there are, there's nothing to worry about if you don't have any evil intentions."

Xiao Tingyan stood up, walked in front of the Second Imperial Concubine, and stretched his neck to show her.

"Mother, look, I was almost strangled to death by a ghost last night."

As he said this, he seemed very scared and grabbed the Second Princess's hands.

The Second Princess hurriedly stood up and pushed him away, "Someone, take the Second Young Master back."

Xiao Tingyan was pulled away by the old woman, and he slowly smiled at the Second Imperial Concubine.

The Second Princess couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine. This kid is crazy! He is sick!

"Take him away, take him back and lock him up." She was furious.

At night, the servant checked all the doors and windows.

"Second Master, how about I sleep with you?"

Xiao Tingyan shook his head and held the clothes tightly in his hands.

"If you have any problem, just call me. I'm right at the door."

The night passed quickly and quietly.

The servant began to knock on the door, "Second Master, I will come in and help you wash up."

There was no sound from inside, as if the person inside was still sleeping soundly.

The servant waited for another half an hour, but the person inside still didn't get up.

You're not sick, are you?

The servant hurriedly opened the door and saw the person still lying on the bed.

He breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to push Xiao Tingyan.

"Second Young Master, get up. The teacher that His Highness invited is coming today."

Xiao Tingyan didn't move, not even his eyes moved.

The boy felt something was wrong, so he put his hand under his nose and fell to the ground in fright.

The next second, he ran out rolling and crawling.

"Someone come quickly, the second young master has passed away!"

The second prince specially invited a great scholar and spent a large sum of money to have him come to the palace to teach his son.

Today is the first day that the great scholar came to visit, and he stayed in the mansion specially to receive him.

There was a servant outside the door, and he rolled in crawling.

"How dare you! Are there any rules?" The second prince felt very ashamed.

The boy knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

"Your Highness, the Second Young Master has passed away."

"What?" The second prince felt a ringing in his ears and did not hear clearly what the servant said.

"Your Highness, the Second Young Master has gone. Please go and have a look!"

The second prince finally reacted and stumbled towards his son's residence.

Xiao Tingyan died, and there was no sign of anything unusual on the outside.

Just like a person who has fallen asleep, he was still holding tightly to the clothes that his mother had made for him.

Curled up into a small ball, just like in the mother's womb.

The second prince kicked the servant and said, "Drag him away and chop him up!"

The servant was so frightened that he trembled all over and lay on the ground begging for mercy.

He was soon gagged and dragged out.

The second prince fell ill after losing two sons at once.

When the Second Princess heard that Xiao Tingyan had died, she took her maid to the pool to burn paper for her son.

"Son, your mother has avenged you. Now, you can rest in peace."

After returning from the pool, the Second Princess also fell ill.

Her hands began to blister and become extremely itchy.

She couldn't help scratching it, and the blisters broke, and new blisters formed wherever the water flowed.

The doctor looked at me for a long time but didn't know the cause. He just prescribed some heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine for me to apply.

The blisters gradually increased and spread to the face.

The hands that initially developed blisters began to fester.

The Second Princess did not dare to tell the Second Prince and only kept it a secret and asked people to look for a good doctor.

The second prince lay in bed for several days, and Princess Gao Li served him without taking off her clothes.

Princess Gaoli told him about their local customs and culture.

Talk about their daughter's festival, warrior competitions, horse racing...

With the guidance of Princess Gao Li, the second prince gradually got over the pain of losing his son.

It was only then that the Second Prince discovered that the Second Imperial Concubine had not shown up during the days he was ill.

Upon asking, I found out that the Second Imperial Concubine was also sick.

When the Second Princess heard that the Second Prince had arrived, she had no choice but to lie down on the bed and wrap herself up.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" The second prince stared at the princess wearing a veil in surprise.

"Ahem, Your Highness, the disease I have is contagious. I am worried about infecting Your Highness. Please get out of here."

"Have you seen a doctor?"

"I have checked, and he is taking medicine. Your Highness is now well, so I will not keep you here."

The second prince was very surprised that the second princess was in a hurry to kick him out.

Could it be that the Second Princess is still blaming him for not avenging Ye'er?

The second prince became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and in a fit of rage, he didn't set foot there for several days.

"Princess, I think you should explain the truth to the Second Prince. If by some chance the Second Prince can invite a miracle doctor to cure you, wouldn't that be better?"

The Second Princess took off her veil and looked at the horrified face in the mirror and shook her head.

"No, His Highness cannot let me see my current face. This way, at least in his memory, I will still be as beautiful as a flower."

The Second Imperial Concubine's face also began to fester, and if you took a quick look at it, you would be really scared.

"But you can't keep it secret for long, right?"

"Come here, tell the Second Prince that I am going to the Big Buddha Temple to have a vegetarian meal and pray for Ye'er."

The Second Princess left as soon as she said she would, packed her luggage, and went to the Big Buddha Temple with her servants.

When the Second Prince heard the message from the Second Princess, he was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand.

She was a princess, but she even abandoned the palace for a dead child.

Princess Gaoli gently touched his shoulder.

"Don't be angry, Your Highness. As the mother of the eldest son, it is normal for the princess to be sad."

"Besides, don't worry, I still have concubines in the mansion."

The second prince smiled bitterly and said, "Fortunately, you are still with me."

Princess Gao Li smiled and sat on his lap. "I have something happy to tell Your Highness. You will be very happy to hear it!"
