No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Lin Mingyan didn't sleep well all night. Although everything was fine, she just felt a little uneasy.

She had many bizarre dreams, and even dreamed that she had invited a troupe of actors to perform in her house during the New Year.

The children danced with joy, and even the maids and eunuchs were smiling with joy.

The happiest person was Linglan. She loved listening to operas the most, and she was unhappy because she took Dujuan to the opera but not her.

This time she had something to watch. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stood up to eat them, staring at the stage intently while eating.

Lin Mingyan looked in the direction she was looking and saw a burst of white light...

Tsk~

I haven't even seen what's being sung yet and I'm already awake.

"Hiss, is it snowing outside?" Lin Mingyan asked as she looked out the bright light through the glass window.

The Fourth Master had already gotten up. Du Juan was waiting inside the room. Upon hearing this, she hurried over and said, "Yes, Master."

Her eyes were swollen like walnuts and bloodshot, obviously she hadn't slept all night.

Lin Mingyan thought she was crying because she was worried yesterday, so she comforted her.

Unexpectedly, after washing up and having breakfast, Dujuan cried even louder.

"What's going on? What kind of injustice did you suffer?" She was a little confused.

Although he didn't think highly of Honghui, the Fourth Master wouldn't punish her at this critical juncture.

Why are you still crying like this?

Dujuan followed the Fourth Master's instructions and did not dare to disturb her while she slept or ate, but now she could not bear it any longer.

She fell to her knees, sobbing and mumbling, "Master... wuwu, Ling... Linglan is gone."

When the incident happened yesterday, she didn't see Linglan and cursed her in her heart for being lazy again.

Later I learned that she had actually been entangled with the criminals for nearly a quarter of an hour, and she couldn't stop crying all night.

Lin Mingyan turned around with some difficulty and asked, "Gone? Linglan, what's gone?"

She couldn't connect the dots properly for a moment, and her mind seemed to be blank.

Dujuan raised her head and said with a sad face, "The eldest prince was taken away by gangsters yesterday. Linglan happened to see him in the house and chased after him..."

She couldn't see what happened, and Cuizhu told her the whole story, which made it all fit together.

After hearing this, Lin Mingyan felt mixed emotions and was even a little unwilling to believe it!

"Let's go to the rockery!"

She couldn't believe that Lily of the Valley was gone just like that. Yesterday, outside the rockery, she had died quietly inside.

It was such a short distance, but she didn't know it!

When we arrived at the rockery, the Fourth Master was already sitting beside it.

He first looked at Lin Mingyan's red eyes, then pulled her to sit down: "It will be demolished soon, just wait a moment."

Lin Mingyan sat down woodenly, looking at the fake cave with an unfocused gaze.

Almost half of the rockery has been dismantled, but because Geng is still trapped inside, they dare not dismantle it too quickly to ensure his safety.

Soon, half of the rockery was removed, and the situation inside was revealed.

Geng was the first to be rescued. She had been freezing in there all night and was freezing even though she was wearing a cloak.

Lin Mingyan had a good relationship with her, and she had suffered so much just to save Honghui, so she quickly stepped forward to show concern.

Geng's face was pale from the cold, her lips were bloodless, and there were obvious dark bloodstains on her right leg.

In weather like this, it would be dangerous if my legs were pressed all night!

The imperial physician who was waiting on the side hurried forward to check.

At this time, there was no need to talk about whether to take precautions or not. The Fourth Master had already given orders to try every possible means to treat the patient.

Fortunately, after examination, the imperial physician concluded that although Geng Geng's leg was injured, it was not because it was pressed by the stone all night, but was stuck and could not be removed.

At this moment, in addition to the external flesh injuries, the bones were also injured, but not to the extent of necrosis.

Although it is still quite serious, as long as I rest well for half a year, I will have no problem walking in the future.

Lin Mingyan heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and immediately knelt down before her: "Thank you, Sister Geng, for saving Honghui!"

If it weren't for Geng, Honghui might have died. It was like cutting a piece of flesh from her heart.

Kneeling down to the savior of one's son is something that many people in modern times would do, and Lin Mingyan knelt without any burden.

Geng was startled and could not sit still on the sedan chair anymore. She hurried to help her: "Fujin, what are you doing?!"

"This...this is what I should do!"

She really believed this, otherwise she could have gone to bed early yesterday and not cared about what happened in the inner courtyard.

Or if you come across a cave of unknown danger, you can wait for the servant to go in and explore.

"No matter what you should or shouldn't do, if you save Honghui, you will be half his mother in the future!" Lin Mingyan said in a loud voice.

The Fourth Master heard this was a bit too much and interrupted, "Cha Cha, let Geng go back and have a closer look at the imperial physician."

Of course, Lin Mingyan would not delay Geng's treatment, so she stood up and made way for the servants to carry her away.

At this moment, one of the servants in the cave let out a cry of surprise. She looked over there, and her heart seemed to be frozen.

At just one glance, she knew that the person lying there covered in dirt was Lily of the Valley.

She was wearing her favorite pale pink cheongsam with a hundred butterfly patterns, which she had saved up three months' salary to make.

I made it in the spring but was reluctant to wear it. I only wore it once and then put it at the bottom of the box.

At that time, she said that she would wear it in winter, and wearing it in early winter would be a feast for her eyes as a master, and it would look like a flower.

I guess I changed it yesterday just because she was coming back.

Unexpectedly, her favorite dress became her last one.

Dujuan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and fell to the ground, crying loudly.

She knew that the lily of the valley was gone, but seeing it with her own eyes was too much of a shock.

Linglan was covered in blood, lying on the ground with a hairpin stuck in her back.

"That was a reward from my master." Dujuan couldn't help crying out loud.

Lin Mingyan also saw it. It was a gilded hairpin that she gave to Dujuan and Linglan each at their wedding.

At that time, they wanted to reward her with a gold hairpin, but Linglan always grumbled that it would be better to give her silver so that she could give it to her family.

She then changed them into a pair of gilded hairpins, which looked nice anyway, and she converted the remaining money into money and gave it to them.

Now, this hairpin grows on her body.

Lin Mingyan didn't know whether she was crying or not. She watched in a daze as the servants carried Lily of the Valley out.

Because it had been frozen all night, the body had already become stiff, and any beautiful burial posture could not be performed.

The heavy snow began to fall again, floating on her body and head, very mercilessly.

The Fourth Master watched from the side, worried that she was too sad, so he pulled her back to the house.

He ordered Su Peisheng: "Linglan is a loyal servant. Go and notify her family to come and send her off in style!"
