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

Chen Qingqing's anger kept boiling, but she still suppressed it, trying to maintain a calm tone and said, "Sister, you are joking. I am just the daughter of a fifth-rank official, right?"

However, Mu Xueli seemed unaware of Chen Qingqing's dissatisfaction: "Sister, don't belittle yourself. Even I, who have been in the backyard for many years, have heard about the speed at which your father was promoted. His reputation is well known. His status and position are naturally much higher than that of the daughter of the chief priest."

Chen Qingqing was very angry when she heard this. This was a veiled praise but a hidden criticism, not leaving her any face at all. A bitter feeling welled up in her heart. Originally, she was going to be betrothed to the crown prince as a concubine. Because of you, a concubine, Concubine De went to the empress dowager, and she was suddenly betrothed to Zhao Yuan. But it was useless to say this now, and she could only endure it silently.

At this time, Mu Xueli asked again: "By the way, sister, do you know the name of the concubine who is about to enter the mansion?"

Chen Qingqing took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and replied, "I heard her name is Lin Yurou."

"I don't know if it's a coincidence that he has the same last name as someone in Xianyue Court." Mu Xueli said.

Chen Qingqing didn't want to listen to the unpleasant words anymore, so she stood up and said goodbye, saying that her clothes were soaked by tea: "I'm sorry to bother you, Princess Rui." After saying that, she turned and left the room, walking out of the palace without looking back.

As soon as they got on the carriage back to the mansion, Chen Qingqing's personal maid Chun Ya came over cautiously, with a worried look on her face, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, what should we do now?"

Chen Qingqing looked calm, as if what had just happened had not affected her at all. After hearing Chun Ya's question, her face suddenly became gloomy, her eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, and she said in a cold tone: "Didn't Mu Xueli say that the prince would come back?"

"But...that Aunt Lin..." Chun Ya was still a little worried. She seemed to want to say something, but she was hesitant and finally shut her mouth.

Chen Qingqing interrupted her impatiently, with a hint of contempt in her tone: "There's nothing to worry about. As long as Prince Rui comes back, all problems will be solved. We don't know how Aunt Lin is doing now, and Mu Shirley is really a piece of shit." After saying that, she closed her eyes, leaned back slightly, and leaned against the carriage, hoping to forget these troubles for a while.

Chun Ya's face showed even more worry: "I hope Prince Rui can come back tomorrow."

At this moment, Chen Qingqing suddenly opened her eyes, glared at her fiercely, and cursed softly: "Mu Xueli wants to laugh at me, right? Although it is not good to postpone my wedding, when she got married, wasn't there only a rooster to welcome her? Did she think that she would be safe as soon as she sat on the position of princess?"

Chun Ya said indignantly, "That's right. How can such an outstanding person like you be looked down upon like this? We can't touch Princess Mu, it's all because of that damned Aunt Lin! When the prince brings her back, you must not let her go!"

"Stupid!" Chen Qingqing looked at Chun Ya expressionlessly, with helplessness in her voice. "Have you ever seen a concubine who escaped from a family and was not beaten to death? She was able to let the prince chase her away, so she must be very favored by the prince. I just entered the palace, and it is still unclear whether I can get the prince's love. To deal with a woman who is favored by the prince, isn't this just asking for death?"

Chun Ya felt that what the young lady said made sense: "Then what should we do? We can't touch the princess, and Aunt Lin is suppressing her?"

Chen Qingqing snorted, "What should I do? Didn't you hear clearly? There is also a concubine named Lin who entered the mansion with me. Who knows if it was deliberately arranged by the higher-ups? As the old saying goes, you only hear the laughter of new people and never the cries of old ones. There are two people with the same surname, one is a concubine and the other is a concubine. I don't need to do anything at all."

As for Mu Xueli, I really thought she was stupid. A bastard wanted to instigate me to be the first to take action. She seemed to have forgotten her own background. She had seen all kinds of scenes in the backyard. With her acting skills, she would not be fooled. Even if someone jumped out first, it must be her, Mu Xueli.

Let's wait and see what happens. Her intuition tells her that the other girl, Lin Yurou, who came in with her is definitely not simple. How could the daughter of a sixth-rank priest suddenly catch the emperor's eye and be granted marriage? This is too much of a coincidence.

"Are you leaving?" Mu Shirley asked softly.

"Gone!" Xiangshui replied in a low voice.

"Hmph, a concubine who hasn't even married yet actually dares to meddle in the prince's affairs. Spread the news and say that the second daughter of the Chen family has been anxious since she saw the prince for a long time, and she came today to urge him to get married. Remember to spread the news quickly so that everyone knows about it. Then, spread a copy of the news outside, spread a copy of the news inside the palace, and finally find the housekeeper in the mansion to send a copy of the news to the prince who has gone south." Mu Xueli sneered, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

She wanted to let everyone know how eager this new concubine was to see the prince, and even went to his house to urge him. This way, no matter how capable the concubine was, she would find it difficult to raise her head in front of everyone. And she herself could continue to maintain her high position and enjoy everyone's awe and envy.

Where is Lin Yan, the one who is hated by others?

After the sky darkened completely as if it had been splashed with ink, everyone finally arrived at the post station.

Lin Yan only remembered that she was carsick and vomited all over the place, then she fell asleep in Zhao Yuan's arms in a daze. When she woke up again, she found herself lying on the bed in the inn. She rubbed her eyes and tried to recall what happened before, but her mind was fuzzy.

"Master Lin, you're finally awake!" Xiang Ling heard the noise and hurriedly lifted the curtains on the bed, her voice filled with surprise and excitement.

Lin Yan slowly opened her eyes and adjusted to the light around her. She blinked and looked at Xiang Ling in confusion, then turned her head and looked around, and asked softly, "Well, where is this? How long have I slept?"

Xiang Ling quickly replied, "My lord, we have arrived at the post station, and it's been less than half an hour since the lights were turned on! Are you hungry, Master Lin? The prince has already ordered the post station to prepare sumptuous food, waiting for you to wake up and enjoy it." As she spoke, she gently helped Lin Yan sit up, let her lean against the head of the bed, and picked up the clothes beside her and put them on her.

Lin Yan shook her head and said, "Oh! I don't really feel like eating..." Although the carriage was much faster than the boat, it was bumpy all the way. Not only did she have no appetite, she also felt dizzy and nauseous.

Xiang Ling frowned and advised, "How can that be? You vomited in the carriage today, and the prince specifically ordered that you must eat something no matter what, otherwise you will be skinny and boneless after all the way to the capital."
