Chapter 45 The first wife who died early in the cousin's article 3
"Mrs. Prince, take the medicine."
Sent the doctor away, Zhuyue brought a bowl of dark medicine and carefully scooped a spoonful , handed it to Lin Zhi's mouth.
Ling Zhi didn’t let her feed her, so she took it and drank it with her nose held in several sips. Another maid immediately offered her a piece of candied fruit and chewed the candied fruit. She felt better and was able to look at Zhu Yue. She was bribed by Wen Shuyue to drug the original owner.
It doesn’t look like she is a lowly maid capable of betraying her master. Zhu Yue is a son of the Lin family. She was promoted to eldest maid by the original owner after being dowed. She had never been physically punished or insulted on weekdays, but she suddenly betrayed her master.
"Chunlan stays, let the others go down." After everyone left, he ordered Chunlan to find someone to keep an eye on Zhuyue.
Chunlan has taken care of the original owner since she was a child, and the relationship has become even closer. Now she was shocked when she heard this: "Miss, what did Zhuyue do to betray you?"
Ling Zhi shook her head: "There is no evidence yet, just keep an eye on it."
Chunlan's heart sank, and she concluded that Zhuyue had betrayed her young lady. Her anger continued to rise, and she solemnly stated that she would keep an eye on Zhuyue. , never let her hurt her master!
At this moment, the maid at the door came to report, and the prince's servant in the front yard came to tell him that the prince came to Ruyi Courtyard for dinner in the evening.
In the past, when the prince came to Ruyiyuan, someone would be sent to inform him in advance, so the maids and ladies got busy and prepared in an orderly manner. The prince had not returned from Beijing for so long, and they must perform well in front of the prince for his wife.
"Miss, do you want to change your clothes? I will dress you up." Chunlan was delighted and said hurriedly.
Ling Zhi was speechless, but she did not refuse. Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, she saw a beautiful and elegant face in the mirror. Her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, her skin was white, and she was very beautiful, but her eyebrows were lightly frowned. , there is a sense of sadness lingering in the body, and there seems to be incomprehensible sadness.
Outsiders all thought that the original owner had married a good man. Chu Jing was handsome in appearance. He did not rely on his ancestors to shield him from the imperial exams and became an official. The unmarried women in the capital wanted to marry him with all their hearts. Who would have expected that the original owner got it in the end? Cheap.
But in the marriage that everyone envied, the original owner had a pain in his heart that was not shared by outsiders.
Chu Jing is a handsome young man, and he respects her and has a lot of etiquette. Even when his mother-in-law urges her to give birth, he helps her, but she always feels that the two are not close, but as a woman, she really Unable to speak.
What's more, Chu Jing didn't take concubines, nor did he have intercourse with others. When he went out to socialize, he never found beauties to accompany him like other young men. He was really a rare gentleman, and I don't know how many people envied him.
"Mrs. Crown Prince, it's ready." The maids warned.
Ling Zhi looked in the mirror and saw that she was wearing a Xiangfei-colored dress, which made her skin white and beautiful, and her expression was dazzling.
She held up the hairpin on her temples and took it off: "It's already evening. It's simpler. None of these are needed." The maid was a little surprised, but she didn't ask, and quickly put a few hairpins and other flowers into her hands. Remove it, leaving only a white peony hairpin on the temple.
After putting it away, Lin Zhi took a look and wiped off the rouge on her lips, leaving only a light layer, making her look like a sickly beauty.
At this time, the mother-in-law came to report that dinner was ready. Lin Zhi glanced at the sky and saw that it was getting dark. Today, the male protagonist brought the female protagonist back to the house. It was already afternoon, and they met in the main hall to greet each other. Just an hour or two.
She returned to the yard and watched the doctor drink medicine. It was already evening, and now the room was lit with candles, making it bright.
"Meet the Crown Prince." The servants paid their respects.
Ling Zhi turned around and saw a slender and tall figure walking from the corridor in the spring evening breeze. The swaying lantern shone on the expressionless face, which was daunting.
"Your Majesty." Lin Zhi stood up and saluted.
Chu Jing nodded lightly, sat across from her, and looked at her: "What did the doctor say? I may be in trouble."
Lin Zhi's long eyelashes were drooped, and her voice was soft: "It's just It's not a big deal if there's a little wind. Just drink some medicine and it'll be fine." He added, "I'm concerned about it." Looking up at him, "Is the prince's trip going well?"
Three months ago, Chu Jing left the capital, saying only that he had official business to attend to, but did not tell him what the specific matter was. The original owner originally said he would come back in two months, but it took him three months to get home, and he even brought Wen Shuyue back.
Chu Jing: "It's more troublesome than expected. It's only a month later."
Glancing at her briefly, "Wen Shuyue is the daughter of her mother's concubine. She was married to the son of the Ezhou magistrate earlier. This I accidentally ran into her jumping into a river on my way back to Beijing, so I took her back and asked you to take better care of her in the future. "
Ling Zhi... this man is really constantly jumping around in her danger zone. .
"Husband... do you want to find another marriage for your cousin?"
Chu Jing raised the tea cup and took a sip: "Let mother handle this matter, she will arrange it herself. ”
Lin Zhi stared at the cup in his hand: "Is that so? I just heard that my cousin has suffered so much, and I feel very distressed. Marrying is a lifelong thing. If I do it again, I'm afraid my cousin will be scared."
Chu Jing He nodded in agreement: "I sent someone to check her husband. It is indeed not a good thing to spoil your concubine and destroy your wife." He had asked his subordinates to check whether the Ezhou magistrate had done anything evil. If he did, he would find him. Chance took this breath.
"Yes, so if you are looking for a marriage, it is best to find someone who is familiar with your mother-in-law and is kind."
Chu Jing paused and looked at the woman opposite with his dark eyes: "You Is there a suitable family? ”
Ling Zhi shook his head and chuckled: "My husband thinks highly of me, but I do have an idea. My cousin is now alone and helpless, and my mother also likes her. I feel uncomfortable watching it. I would rather stay by your husband's side." How? ”
"I feel pity for my cousin because she is an aunt's daughter."
"Furthermore, I have been in the house for a year, but I still haven't gotten pregnant. Outsiders say that I am the only one who dominates." If you don't let me go, it's really... Cousin Ruo Shuyue Marry in and give your husband one or two children, and I will be satisfied."
"What do you think, husband?"
The woman looked at him with beautiful eyes and an impeccable smile on her face. His words are even more considerate.
The relief in Chu Jing's eyes faded little by little, and his eyes could not tell the difference between happiness and anger. The room became unusually quiet for a moment. The maids were so trembling that their heads almost touched the ground, for fear that the prince would be angry.
Lin Zhi coughed suddenly, and then started coughing again and again, her face turning red from coughing.
She covered her mouth and went to pick up the cup, but her trembling hands couldn't hold it.
Chu Jing suddenly stood up, walked behind her, patted her, and told the maid: "Go get the pear syrup for cough." The maid hurried over.
After drinking the cough syrup, Lin Zhi felt better and leaned against Chu Jing.
Suddenly she seemed to freeze, and she sat up straight subconsciously: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to trouble you." She held the handkerchief tightly, and her fair face was stained with a thin red.
Chu Jing didn't seem to notice, and sat back: "It's okay, let's set the food."
