Prince Qing is the sixth son of the emperor. When he was born, his mother died of complications during childbirth.

At that time, Concubine Hui had just lost her beloved son, so the newly born Prince Qing was given to Concubine Hui to raise.

When Concubine Hui was in grief, she poured all her love into Prince Qing and raised him as her own son.

Because Prince Qing had a narrow escape from death this time, Concubine Hui was so worried that she almost followed him.

Concubine Hui knelt down and begged the emperor to leave the palace and come to Prince Qing's Mansion to take care of her son.

Just because her son couldn't stand up, Concubine Hui was still unwilling to give up, so she hadn't returned to the palace yet.

After much deliberation, Yan Qingning decided that it would be better to use Concubine Hui as a breakthrough point.

Because Concubine Hui might return to the palace at any time, Yan Qingning was worried that the opportunity would be fleeting.

Time is not waiting for her. If she misses Concubine Hui, she will be at the mercy of Yan Xiwei.

So she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

As they were about to reach the gate of Concubine Hui's courtyard, Yuqi finally said, "It seems that the young lady was deceiving me and never thought of escaping..."

Yan Qingning paused and let go of Yuqi's hand. She couldn't see Yuqi's expression, but she still said seriously: "Sorry Yuqi, I don't dare to gamble!"

What she didn't expect was that Yuqi's eyes sparkled, "I knew that the young lady would not accept her fate!"

Ok?

Yan Qingning was a little slow to react, "Aren't you angry?"

Yuqi: "To be honest, if I escape from the palace tonight, I have no intention of running away with you..."

She has seen through the princess's cruelty and ruthlessness, and will not let the young master go no matter what.

With no sign of a turning point in sight and no desire to wait for death, she decided to cooperate with the young lady to escape from the palace and then go their separate ways.

She did have a place to go, but that was her most helpless retreat, and from then on she just lived to survive.

Yan Qingning: “…”

It is easy to climb over Concubine Hui's wall, but it is difficult to meet her.

Yan Qingning was living in dire straits, but it was not the same for others, as Concubine Hui had already gone to bed.

She climbed over the wall by stepping on Yuqi's shoulders, and was discovered by the old woman who was on guard in Concubine Hui's courtyard.

There was a noise outside, which also woke up Concubine Hui.

After the candles were lit in the room, it was a long time before Yan Qingning was called in.

This was already half the battle for Yan Qingning. As long as she could meet Concubine Hui, she could use Concubine Hui's concern for King Qing to resolve the current crisis.

Yuqi was waiting outside, feeling very nervous.

How could she not worry? This was a matter of life and death. Even she was surprised that they came to Concubine Hui tonight.

Not to mention the princess, I guess she didn't expect that the young lady would come to Concubine Hui for help.

Yes, Yuqi just thought that Yan Qingning came to ask Concubine Hui for help tonight.

But she was worried that Yan Qingning would fail to ask for help, and the princess would definitely know tomorrow that they came to Concubine Hui's place tonight.

It goes without saying that what awaits them is a life worse than death.

No one knows what Yan Qingning and Concubine Hui said.

Only half an hour later, Concubine Hui dressed neatly and hurried to Mo Yun Pavilion with Yan Qingning and her servant.

Chu Beiqing hasn't rested yet, he is painting.

Even late at night, his mother came over. Chu Beiqing was stunned for a moment, thinking that something important must have happened, otherwise his mother would not have waited until tomorrow morning.

Chu Beiqing immediately put down the pen in his hand and hurriedly asked someone to invite his mother in.

The concubine left Yan Qingning outside and went in herself.

She had been tense all the way here, but when she saw her son, she said excitedly, "Qing'er, your leg may be saved..."

Chu Beiqing was slightly startled, "What did mother say?"

Concubine Hui walked over and sat opposite Chu Beiqing, her eyes moist, "Qing'er, mother said that you have a chance to stand up..."

Concubine Hui cried with joy and told her about the medical skills Yan Qingning had demonstrated to her tonight, "Concubine Ning only needed to look at your face to tell that you were having palpitations, night sweats, and nightmares.

In some cases, my mother never told the imperial physician, but she told them all, which shows that she has some skills..."

There were some things that were difficult to tell her son, so Concubine Hui concealed them.

Chu Beiqing narrowed his dark eyebrows slightly, Ning is a concubine?

The name sounds familiar...

In just a moment, the embarrassed and panicked figure he saw in Qixia Garden emerged in Chu Beiqing's mind.

It reminded him of the rabbit that fled in panic...

He only remembered the rabbit-like concubine Ning, but he had no impression of her appearance.

Because no woman will stay in his memory.

Then, Chu Beiqing's eyes dimmed slightly. His legs were unable to move and he was like a disabled person.

Only he himself knows how much inconvenience this has caused him.

It took him three months to finally recover from the blow and accept the cruel reality. At this moment, he was calm.

Chu Beiqing quickly calmed down, "Mother, it's not difficult to know your pulse history, so it's not surprising what she said, she was just trying to trick you."

Concubine Hui came here full of hope, but was stunned by her son's casual words. "Qing'er, why did she lie to mother? What was there about mother that was worth her lying about?"

Chu Beiqing's eyes were as cold as a pond, his face as white as ice, and he said firmly: "It's probably to get closer to his son."

Concubine Hui was a little confused, "Why would she want to get close to you..."

Chu Beiqing said in a cold voice, "You should ask her about this."

"Qing'er, are you overthinking it? If she wanted to get close to you, wouldn't she just come to you directly? Why did she go through all the trouble to look for Mother? You..."

Chu Beiqing interrupted his mother before she finished speaking, "This is how cunning this girl is. Isn't your mother trying her best to persuade her son right now?"

Concubine Hui was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no, Qing'er, don't think your mother is old and confused and just follows the crowd.

At first, my mother did not believe what Concubine Ning said. She thought that she was just a little girl, what could she know?

But she described her mother's physical condition exactly.

Moreover, she only used two silver needles to make Nanny Zuo's abdomen rumble like thunder and the abdominal distension disappear. This skill is not something that ordinary people can have.

Although my mother doesn't know medicine, she is still able to tell whether she is talking nonsense or not."

Chu Beiqing didn't take it seriously, "If you were prepared and learned a few tricks in advance, it would be easy to deceive you with what my mother said.

Mother, think about it, if Concubine Ning really has some ability, why has there been no news of it? Moreover, my son saw her acting recklessly a few days ago, without any rules, and her behavior was not decent at all.

Therefore, what my mother said about her being able to practice medicine is pure nonsense!"

Chu Beiqing was very rational and his analysis was reasonable. Thinking about how she was apparently fine in the Buddhist temple that day, she rushed out of the temple despite being stopped, and pretended to faint, it was obvious that she was not a peaceful person.

A hint of disgust flashed across Chu Beiqing's dark eyes.

At this moment, Yan Qingning is seen by Chu Beiqing as a scheming woman who is willing to do anything to deceive others.

She must have known that she couldn't deceive him, so she went to deceive his mother. It was really despicable to take advantage of an old man who was so concerned that he became confused.

Such people must not be tolerated.
