Chapter 394 No matter what happens, go to the third palace
"Little girl, my mistress is really not feeling well. Please don't go, or she will punish me." The little maid quickly stretched out her arms to block her way, looking anxious.
Li Xiaoxiao was not an unreasonable person. Seeing the maid's tough attitude, she thought that Zhou Lingfei must have given her an order. She didn't want to make things difficult for her. She sighed softly and decided to come again tomorrow.
The next morning, Li Xiaoxiao came again as expected. This time the maid did not stop her and took her directly into Zhou Lingfei's boudoir.
After looking around, he didn't see Zhou Lingfei. Then he heard a slight movement on the bed. He saw Zhou Lingfei lying on the bed with the gauze curtain drawn, so he couldn't see her clearly.
After walking a few steps forward, Li Xiaoxiao reached out to lift the gauze curtain, but was stopped in time by Zhou Lingfei.
"Don't move. I've caught a cold. Be careful not to infect you." Zhou Lingfei's weak voice came from inside, sounding powerless.
"I'm a doctor myself, it's okay. How could your illness be so serious? Have you asked a doctor?" Li Xiaoxiao still wanted to lift the gauze curtain, but Zhou Lingfei inside stretched out her arm and grabbed it from inside.
"Please come in. I just took the medicine and it will be contagious to you. Don't lift it. It's the same if you talk like this." Zhou Lingfei's voice was filled with urgency as she clutched the gauze curtain tightly.
"Okay then, do you feel better now?" Li Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Lingfei through the gauze curtain and asked with concern.
"I'm much better. I've been sick for a few days and didn't have time to see you." Zhou Lingfei's voice was hoarse and weak due to the illness.
"Why didn't you send someone to send me a message so that I could come and see you." Seeing Zhou Lingfei's expression, Li Xiaoxiao began to doubt whether she had guessed wrong. If she really had guessed wrong, should she tell Zhou Lingfei?
"At first I just felt a little uncomfortable, but I didn't expect it to be so serious all of a sudden." Zhou Lingfei's tone was indifferent, without her usual cheerfulness.
"I'll go back and ask someone to prepare some supplements and send them to you in the evening." Since Zhou Lingfei doesn't know about this yet, let's not mention it to avoid making her feel upset.
"Thank you, young lady." Perhaps because she had talked too much, Zhou Lingfei took a while to speak slowly.
"What are you thanking me for? If I had known earlier, I would have come to see you earlier. You should have a good rest. I'll be leaving first." Hearing the tiredness in her voice, Li Xiaoxiao decided to visit her another day. The patient needed more rest.
"Yeah." Zhou Lingfei nodded gently, looking at Li Xiaoxiao's receding back, tears unconsciously sliding down from the corners of her eyes.
She thought Li Xiaoxiao would explain to her, but she didn't. She didn't even mention it. Zhou Lingfei just felt even more sad.
She used to trust Li Xiaoxiao so much, why would her best sister want to snatch Gu Feiyan from her? Well, she should just not associate with her in the future.
Prime Minister's House.
Xiangling came to report that Qiao Yueru had just come in, but was beaten out by the guards, and the beating was quite serious.
Cheng Yun'er sat upright on the main seat, carefully looking at the nails she had just done today. Her slender fingers and the round and full nails looked beautiful no matter how she looked at them.
Listening to Xiang Ling's words, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. She really deserved it. She almost made a fool of herself on the street today.
Just give her a small lesson and see if she will learn from it.
As for the man who deceived Qiao Yueru, he reported back the gold hairpin and six taels of silver early on.
Cheng Yuner raised her eyelids casually. On the table were the things the man had brought. "Give all these to him. He has done a good job."
"Yes, miss." Xiangling took the things downstairs and the man was waiting outside the door.
When he saw Xiang Ling coming out, he immediately ran over with a flattering look on his face: "Miss Xiang Ling, does Miss Cheng have anything else to say?"
"Did you give the order? My young lady is kind-hearted and gave all these things to you as rewards." Xiang Ling walked out of the room and immediately raised her head proudly, looking superior.
In the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, except for a few masters, everyone acts according to her mood. She has been with Cheng Yun'er since she was a child and can be said to be the person Cheng Yun'er trusts the most.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can get whatever you want and be respected wherever you go.
On the tray was what she had just presented.
The man looked happy for a moment, but soon changed his expression: "I am able to work for Miss Cheng thanks to Miss Xiangling. Why don't you give these things to Miss Xiangling? I am a grown man and I don't need them."
Xiang Ling did not refuse. She stood on the steps and looked at him arrogantly, thinking that he was sensible enough to give some money as a tribute.
The young lady has worn this gold hairpin several times and she likes it very much. Thinking about what happened today, she has to thank Qiao Yueru. Without her, the young lady's gold hairpin would still be lying safely in the jewelry box.
Although she thought so, she did not feel the slightest gratitude towards Qiao Yueru. She disliked anyone that the young lady did not like.
"Then I'll accept this gold hairpin. You can take the silver. After all, you have put in a lot of effort." Xiang Ling took the gold hairpin in her hand without hesitation and looked at it carefully again and again.
The lady's accessories are just great, every piece is a top quality and looks good.
"Thank you, Miss Xiangling. If you need anything in the future, just tell me and I will do my best to help you."
The man had a flattering smile on his face and reached out to take the six taels of silver. Today's task was done easily. He simply got six taels of silver and also did Miss Xiangling a favor.
"Don't worry. If something good like this happens again in the future, I will never forget you." Xiang Ling conceitedly inserted the gold hairpin into her hair to try it out. Although she couldn't see what it looked like, she thought it must be very beautiful.
After getting a satisfactory answer, the man walked away happily.
"Xiangling's gold hairpin looks so beautiful today." A man's voice suddenly sounded.
Xiang Ling thought that the man had come back again and dared to call her name directly. She turned her head away impatiently and was about to scold him.
When he saw that the person coming was actually Cheng Kun, his expression immediately changed 180 degrees.
"It's the eldest young master. How come he is free today? Our young lady is in the room and was just talking about you. Please come in." Xiang Ling quickly pulled the gold hairpin off her head and stuffed it into the sleeve of her clothes.
"Your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. Come to me someday when you are free and I will have a good talk with you." Cheng Kun suddenly stretched out his hand and touched Xiang Ling's face.
Xiang Ling blushed immediately, looked around to see if there was anyone around, and then whispered, "Young Master just knows how to tease people."
"I'm serious. How about we go and reminisce about the past?" Cheng Kun had a lewd smile on his face, with a look of ill intention.
"Master, please don't say it. Someone might hear it." Xiang Ling's face turned even redder, fearing that someone passing by might hear it.
"What are you afraid of? In the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, if anyone dares to gossip about me behind my back, I will pull out his tongue." Cheng Kun said seriously.
"I know that you are the most powerful, young master. Please go find the young lady quickly. She will practice calligraphy at the party." Xiang Ling really didn't dare to continue talking to him.
There are many people in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Cheng Kun is a young master, and no one dares to say anything about him. She is just a maid. If a bad reputation spreads, it will be difficult for her to get married in the future.
Seeing her anxious look, Cheng Kun stopped teasing her and came to see Cheng Yuner today because he really had something to do.
When I entered the room, I saw Cheng Yun'er sipping tea.
Cheng Yuner's boudoir is decorated very gorgeously, and every piece of furnishing in the room is a fine product and an antique.
It can be said that in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, Cheng Yuner's room is the most luxurious, which shows how much the Prime Minister values his daughter.
Other people prefer boys to girls, but for the Prime Minister, it's just the opposite. He loves Cheng Yun'er the most.
Then there was Cheng Kun, his son. Sometimes Cheng Kun was jealous. The yard he lived in was more than twice as small as Cheng Yuner's.
But there is no way, his father doesn't like him.
"Sister, how are you these days?" Cheng Kun smiled warmly, holding a white jade fan, looking very dashing.
