I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

Along the way, Zhao Yuan almost ignored Zhao Lei and treated him as air.

Zhao Lei was unwilling to give up and always wanted to find a sense of existence for himself. He was not bored and saw Xiang Ling who was alone.

"It's a pity that all the beautiful scenery is used up on the journey. Come for a walk with me!"

Xiang Ling bowed her head and saluted to the Seventh Prince Zhao Lei, saying, "I am here to serve our Prince. Without your order, I dare not leave without your permission. Please forgive me, Seventh Prince, and don't blame me."

Zhao Lei chuckled, came forward, and said in a low voice with ill intentions: "I know that your princess wants to force you into being a concubine for the third brother. But don't you think that during this journey, the third brother has not even looked at you directly, except for rushing on the road? Do you know why?"

Xiangling shook her head pretending to be ignorant.

"That's because my third brother has no thoughts about you. Why don't you look back at me? I am also a prince, and I have been given the title of prince. If you follow me, I will still like you. You must have the title of a master, which is not better than following my third brother." Zhao Lei said.

Xiang Ling actually didn't care who she was with, but after weighing the pros and cons, she decided to observe for a while, so she said, "Seventh Prince, my master is upset because he can't find Master Lin's whereabouts. Instead of talking nonsense here, why don't you use your brotherly love to help our master."

Zhao Lei felt a little frustrated. Don't mention this matter anymore. He was so angry when it was mentioned. He originally wanted to follow Zhao Yuan out in the name of inspection to get a share of the pie, but he didn't expect that Zhao Yuan would throw all the things to him without any hesitation. Apart from the necessary inspections, the route arrangements were all based on finding his concubine Lin. He was completely treated as a nobody, which made him very angry.

Looking at Xiang Ling again, she was calm and composed, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart, Zhao Yuan has a house full of women, each one is more arrogant than the other. This aroused his desire to conquer Xiang Ling.

Back to a few days ago

Suburbs of Beijing

In a very ordinary alley, an inconspicuous donkey cart stopped at the entrance of the alley. A beautiful woman in green cloth got off the cart lightly, then turned back and carefully helped another woman with a pale face down from the cart.

"Finally I escaped with my breath left!" Lin Yan sighed weakly.

"Master!" Green Tea looked complicated and hesitated to speak.

This small house is located in the suburbs of Beijing. It is a private property that Lin Yan had secretly bought with the help of the Thirteenth Prince. This place is extremely hidden and not easy to attract attention. The Thirteenth Prince was able to leave so smoothly and unnoticed, which was naturally due to the secret help of the Thirteenth Prince behind the scenes.

This small house looks very plain, with black tiles and mud-brick walls. There are only two rooms in the courtyard, connected to a small courtyard. There is an old locust tree that is slightly tilted in the courtyard, which is located right next to the master bedroom on the east side.

With the help of Green Tea, Lin Yan slowly entered the east room of the house - that was where the master bedroom was.

When she bought this house, it was just for the sake of preparedness, but she didn't expect to use it so soon. There is a bed, a simple solid wood wardrobe, and a simple wash rack at the door. Apart from these, there is no other furniture, which is quite to her liking.

Although it was much simpler than the houses where the servants of the palace lived, Lin Yan felt very at ease. She no longer had to worry about being schemed against. There was no place like home.

Due to the fear she had experienced along the way and her illness, her legs and feet became weak and she collapsed on the bed.

Green Tea hurriedly went out to light a fire and boil water, and quickly brought in boiled water for Lin Yan: "Master, drink some water to warm yourself up first. I'll go clean up the charcoal stove and boil the medicine. Put it in the room when you go to bed at night, it will be warmer."

"Well! Thank you for your hard work!" Lin Yan took the water and took a big sip.

Green Tea retreated somewhat embarrassedly. She was also very scared along the way. Fortunately, she was safe. She admired Master Lin very much. Finally, she left the capital and no longer had to worry about it.

When Lin Yan was in the palace, she occasionally took a car to the street, but most of the time she just took a quick glance. Either the guards were by her side, or Zhao Yuan was following her. She never really came into contact with this world.

Lin Yanqing leisurely counted his property. The banknotes and small change were less than one thousand taels, which was only enough for one month's expenses in the palace. But as a commoner, Lin Yan believed that as long as he budgeted carefully, he could live a comfortable life for several years.

Fortunately, Lin Yan was not stupid. She did not put all the banknotes in one pocket. She sewed a banknote of 100 taels into her underwear. It was this banknote that helped her get through the most difficult period.

Lin Yan planned to set off after resting for a few more days. Her only regret now was that she had not been able to successfully capture half of the guards in the palace and could only bring a maid out.

Considering the kindness of the people in ancient times and my own broad knowledge, there should be no problem in traveling outside.

But they overlooked that since ancient times, the rivers and lakes have been sinister and cunning. In ancient times, the people were simple and honest, but the second half of the sentence was about poverty, bad mountains and bad waters. Supplies were scarce, transportation was blocked, people's hearts were unpredictable, and bandits were rampant.

Moreover, one thousand taels is not a small amount for ordinary people. It is a mobile treasury and has long been targeted by those with ulterior motives.

After several days of recuperation and rest, Lin Yan finally recovered from the cold. She felt much more relaxed, as if she had been given a new life.

She stood quietly under the crooked tree in the yard, staring at the lush leaves, her thoughts surging like the tide.

How could she completely forget Zhao Yuan? If Zhao Yuan could sincerely spend his life with her, she could tolerate him even if he was a little overbearing.

It was a pity that she would always be just one of his many women. His love was like a flash in the pan, short and beautiful, but could not be possessed for a long time. She knew that she could not afford such love, and dared not pursue it easily.

Lin Yan felt helpless and sad, and she couldn't help but think of the moments she had spent with Zhao Yuan, including fear and fear, as well as love and tenderness.

Now, everything has become a passing cloud, leaving, but she doesn't know how to face this relationship in the future. Now, she really wants to let it go and no longer cling to this fruitless relationship.

However, it is easier said than done. Lin Yan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She told herself that life had to go on and she couldn't keep dwelling on the past. She had to be strong and find her own happiness again.

Just as Lin Yan was lost in thought, a breeze blew by, and the leaves rustled. She looked up at the branches swaying in the wind, and something seemed to dawn on her mind. Life is like this tree, it will experience the baptism of wind and rain, and there will also be sunny days.

Lin Yan decided to let go of all the troubles of the past and cherish the present time. The world is so big, and she will always find her true love.

Let’s part ways and that’s it.

She turned and left with a smile, her steps firm and calm. From now on, she will face the challenges of life with a new attitude and look forward to a better future.

Just when Lin Yan thought that everything was settled, she received a letter from Old Thirteen, sent at full speed.

Lin Yan was so scared that she hurriedly packed a few clothes with Green Tea, hired a donkey cart, and ran south.
