Chapter 3 Twilight makes things difficult
When Yu Yunxi came to the front hall, she saw an old woman sitting there in plain clothes. She closed her eyes, twirling Buddhist beads in her hands, and muttering words.
She should be Concubine Ning who was the most favored harem back then, and now Concubine Ning.
Hearing the movement, Concubine Ning slowly opened her eyes, staring at Yun Xi with sizing eyes.
"Yun Xi met the empress dowager." Yu Yunxi blessed her body and saluted meekly.
"What kind of concubine do you still call? Mother concubine. Yesterday's wedding was too hasty, and I have wronged you." Concubine Ning waved to her, her tone extremely gentle.
Yu Yunxi couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Is the concubine so kind to a person who is born as a concubine?
Drowning her eyes, suppressing the doubts in her heart, she walked slowly to the other party's side.
"Good boy, my mother must be very resistant to knowing that you are marrying into the Regent's Palace..." Dowager Ning took Yu Yunxi's hand and patted the back of her hand lovingly.
Yu Yunxi's expression became weird, so... Concubine Ning is planning to prevent her from being buried?
"However," Concubine Ning's tone suddenly changed, "Since you have entered the Regent's Palace, it is your fate! If Li'er can't wake up because of your blessing, then you can only go underground first to replace him Pathfinder."
There was a murderous look in her eyes.
Hearing this, Yu Yunxi felt helpless in her heart. Thanks to her, she thought that Concubine Ning was kind and kind. It turned out to be just her illusion.
On the other side, the lives of other people are nothing compared to her son's!
"Princess, it's time to serve tea to the empress dowager." Nanny Liu was beside her, reminding her in a bad tone.
Yu Yunxi was extremely helpless, but she still reached out to take the tea, and then knelt down slowly.
"Mother... Mother Concubine, please drink tea."
Concubine Ning took a deep look at her and found that there was nothing wrong with her manners, so she was willing to take the tea.
After taking a sip of tea, she remembered something, and began to remind her in a cold voice: "You are a concubine from the prime minister's mansion. You have not been educated since childhood, and your etiquette is definitely not as good as that of a daughter from a decent family, but Aijia still hopes you remember With my current status, I must not embarrass the Prince Regent's House..."
"Also," she raised her voice slightly, and her eyes became a little unfriendly, "You don't want to learn from your low-spirited mother. Aijia heard that your mother was born as a merchant's daughter and came from the south of the Yangtze River. Not to mention humbleness, after becoming the aunt of the prime minister's mansion, she dared to hook up with the guards, if not, your father wouldn't hate your mother and daughter so much..."
"My mother has never done anything that crosses the distance!" Yu Yunxi, who was extremely docile just now, suddenly raised her head, and interrupted Concubine Ning's words in a cold voice.
Her body trembled slightly, and her fingers curled into fists under her long sleeves.
Niangqin was framed back then!
Niangqin is such a good person, but even when she was force-fed poison and dumped her body in a mass grave, she couldn't wait for her name to be rectified.
"Oh, dare to talk back? The Ai family just gave you a little kindness, it was for Li'er's sake, since you are the daughter-in-law of the Ai family, you have to listen to the words of the Ai family! If it is not because of you That scumbag mother saved Taizu back then, do you think you can live safely in Xiangfu until now?"
Concubine Toffee sneered, her face turned gloomy.
"Mother and concubine, Yun Xi heard that the prince is an upright hero before coming to the palace. Yun Xi thought that as the prince's mother and concubine, you should also be a person who can distinguish right from wrong, and you will never listen to the wind because of other people's words. , listen to the rain is rain!"
Yu Yunxi took a deep breath, stood up from the ground, and spoke word by word.
"Presumptuous, are you saying that you don't know right from wrong?" Concubine Ning narrowed her eyes, with anger appearing on her face.
Yu Yunxi's words became more and more sad and indignant.
Her mother is the best mother, she will never allow others to tarnish her reputation!
"Shut up!" Concubine Ning slapped the table angrily.
Just when she was about to slap her mouth, there was a loud shout from outside: "The emperor has spoken."
Hearing this, she could only suppress her plan to teach Yu Yunxi a lesson, and she said viciously: "There are people coming from the palace, please be smart to the Ai family, and don't embarrass the palace, otherwise the Ai family will never Forgive me!"
Soon, several figures appeared at the door.
Nanny Liu quickly helped Concubine Ning up.
"Taifei empress, how can I help you get up, please sit down quickly."
The person who came was Eunuch Lin De. As a celebrity around the emperor, he was a fine individual. As soon as he came in, he went straight to Concubine Ning.
"There is nothing wrong with mourning the family," Concubine Ning shook her head lightly, and continued, "Eunuch Lin, why did the emperor send you here?"
"Reporting to the empress dowager, the national teacher has sent a letter again. He will not be able to return to Beijing until two days later, but he specially ordered someone to send the cold jade coffin first." Lin De replied patiently.
Cold jade coffin? Concubine Ning showed suspicion.
"The national teacher told the emperor in the letter that the regent's body is weak and his soul is weak, so he should be put into a coffin made of cold jade, and then nailed with long nails, so that he can gather his soul and spirit and wake up as soon as possible." Lin Lin De said patiently.
"No, the prince is still alive, if you put him in the coffin now, how can he still breathe?" Yu Yunxi felt that it was ridiculous when she heard it, and she loudly dissuaded her.
Now, Linde's probing eyes fell on her.
"Who are you…"
"She is a new concubine." Dowager Ning glanced at Yu Yunxi angrily.
That look clearly blamed her for being impolite.
But Yu Yunxi's words also reminded her, she was silent for a while, and then asked Lin De suspiciously: "Eunuch Lin, the cold jade coffin is cold, if it is sealed, if there is something wrong with Li'er inside, Aijia... "
"Toffee don't worry," Linde shook his head, and said calmly, "The national teacher said that the cold jade coffin was left to him by his master, and it is a treasure for healing. benefit."
"The national teacher really said that?" Listening to Lin De's words, the worry on Concubine Ning's face gradually decreased.
"That's natural. The National Teacher has always been very concerned about the situation of the regent, and this time he left Beijing to find the Hanyu coffin."
"Then hurry up and send it to the prince, so that the prince can lie down!"
When Concubine Ning heard this, she felt as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, so she hurriedly ordered.
"Yes, Empress Dowager." Linde nodded, and then took his own people, carrying long nails, and carried the cold jade coffin to Feng Yili's yard.
Yu Yunxi was a little flustered, so she wanted to stop her.
Sensing her thoughts, Concubine Ning's face darkened.
"Come here, look at the princess, don't allow her to take half a step here without the order of Aijia." She ordered in a cold voice.
