Chapter 143 Waiting for Your Life

Jiang Yingli looked in amazement at the painting of a flying phoenix that was half a person's height.

A golden-feathered phoenix is ​​about to fly. Its outstretched wings and tail feathers are incredibly beautiful, and the embroidery is impeccably exquisite.

"Such a large painting must have taken a lot of effort on your part." Jiang Yingli praised repeatedly.

Zheng Baolin smiled slightly: "As long as the queen likes it."

Jiang Yingli put her slightly cold hand in her palm, warmed it, picked it up and looked at it carefully for a while. Sure enough, she saw many calluses and small scars, as well as some slight frostbite.

"I have some very effective medicine here. It can lighten scars, nourish the skin, and treat frostbite. Ask Qiuxia to get them all for you."

Zheng Baolin pursed her lips, feeling an irresistible warmth rising in her heart. She whispered:

"Your Majesty forgot. You sent me a box of medicine a month ago, saying you were worried that I might get frostbite from embroidering in the winter."

Jiang Yingli recalled it and it seemed to be the case.

"No matter. You can never have too much of these things. If you leave them there, you'll eventually use them up."

A trace of sadness flashed across Zheng Baolin's eyes and he nodded.

"I accept your gift. Thank you very much." Jiang Yingli said with a smile, "Xia Zi, instead of putting it in the storeroom, I'll just put it in the center of the hall."

Jiang Yingli pulled Zheng Baolin into the palace to drink hot tea. Zheng Baolin smiled as he watched the palace maids of Zhaohua Palace embroidering.

Jiang Yingli personally watched and directed: "It's a little crooked, a little to the left, right."

"What do you think?"

Zheng Baolin suddenly came back to his senses and realized that he had been distracted: "What?"

Jiang Yingli repeated, "Once you have the Phoenix Seal, you can promote the concubines to higher ranks without the emperor's permission. I want to choose a title for everyone. You are close to the water tower, so you choose first."

Zheng Baolin looked at Jiang Yingli, who was making circles and dots with her pen, and smiled: "Let's wait for the Queen to bestow it upon me. It's also something to look forward to."

"Okay, I'll have everything selected in a few days and will give you the official seal of approval."

After returning from Zhaohua Palace, Zheng Baolin did not return to his Cuiwei Pavilion, but went to You Palace instead.

Not long after, Eunuch Fu came forward and whispered a few words to Xiao Chenglan.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Baolin of Cuiwei Pavilion has been wandering around Yougong several times this afternoon."

Xiao Chenglan lowered his eyelashes as he looked at the charges against the Su family on the imperial desk. He was not surprised at all, or rather, he had expected this.

He calmly ordered: "Give her a chance."

Fu Wanquan thought about what happened between Zheng Baolin and Su Qingrong in the past, and couldn't help but sigh that it was indeed karma.

Zheng Baolin was bullied by her in every way in the past. Now, she is in Zheng Baolin's hands. How can she have a good ending?

He was a man who had dealt with two lives.

Fu Wanquan retreated quietly and went to remind the guards of You Palace to give Zheng Baolin a chance.

now.

Zheng Baolin was standing near the You Palace.

In the heavy snow flying all over the sky, he looked up at the palaces with a faint smile on his lips.

She had never felt so happy since entering the palace.

She stood outside until her legs were numb, but she didn't feel cold because her blood was boiling and her heart was beating fast.

The You Palace was isolated from the outside world, and I wondered if Su Qingrong knew that her house had been ransacked.

I really want to tell her.

Zheng Baolin smiled silently, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly heard a chaotic sound of footsteps.

"Catch him!"

Zheng Baolin looked over in confusion and saw two palace maids chasing a very agile eunuch, shouting "Catch him" as they ran.

"Catch him! He just stole some snacks from the kitchen!"

The guards of the You Palace were originally unmoved, as they had their own posts to guard. However, the eunuch made faces at them when he ran past them.

The guard immediately became unhappy and chased after him with a knife in hand.

"stop!!"

The eunuch was very skilled in martial arts and the guards were unable to catch up with him for a while. Zheng Baolin just watched the group run away.

Her gaze fell dimly on the now unguarded gate of the Ghost Palace, and she walked forward step by step...

Su Qingrong curled up on the ground. The cold had made her numb, and her heart was dead.

With a creaky sound, the door opened from the outside. She suddenly opened her eyes and shouted in a hoarse voice:

"Is it someone from the Su family? Daddy is here to save me, right?"

The sarcastic laughter echoed in the cold room. Su Qingrong turned around to look, and her pupils shrank.

It was dusk on a snowy day. Without the lights on in the house, one couldn't see people's faces. Moreover, the woman in front of him was facing away from the light, making her face even more blurry.

She was wearing a plain white palace dress, and even her fur coat was white. If it weren't for the two strands of black hair hanging down from either side of her neck, she would almost blend in with the snow outside.

Those eyes were extremely bright, sparkling with excitement.

Su Qingrong's hair stood on end and she shrank back.

"Who are you!"

Zheng Lan'er stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't you remember me? It was just that Your Majesty said that I look good in white."

After saying that, Zheng Lan'er lifted the hem of her skirt and turned around, then asked with a smile: "How is it? Does it look good? I specially wore white to see you."

Zheng Baolin, it’s Zheng Baolin!

Su Qingrong stepped back in horror, but Zheng Lan'er stepped on the hem of her skirt.

"You, what are you going to do?!"

Zheng Lan'er looked down at Su Qingrong, admiring her fear and embarrassment.

"I'm here to tell you some good news." Zheng Lan'er said slowly, "The Queen will be able to leave soon."

Su Qingrong was stunned, and the shattered hope in her heart was rekindled, but she still looked at Zheng Lan'er vigilantly.

"Are you lying to me?"

Zheng Lan'er covered her mouth and laughed until tears came out, and then her eyes were fixed on Su Qingrong.

"How could that be, my lady? How could I lie to you? Even if I'm carried out sideways, I'm still going out!"

The tone of the voice suddenly changed, and Zheng Lan'er's expression instantly became gloomy. She lifted her sleeves and saw that the shocking wound on her arm had already scabbed over, leaving an ugly scar.

Su Qingrong screamed in fear, not wanting to see those hideous scars. Zheng Lan'er grabbed her collar and pulled her in front of her.

"You're the one who caused all this, and you still have the nerve to yell? Su Qingrong, today I'll let you know how much pain I was in back then! You must pay me back for all thirty-four scars on my body!"

A shrill scream was heard, and red plum blossoms bloomed on Zheng Lan'er's snow-white clothes.

"You may not know this yet, but the Su family was raided today. Except for the few who were left behind for questioning, they are all dead, all dead!"

Su Qingrong looked at Zheng Baolin in front of her in horror, and her thoughts gradually became numb.

All...dead...

They are all dead...hahahaha...they are all dead...

"Madman, you are also a madman! Zheng Lan'er, I won't let you go even if I turn into a ghost!"

Zheng Lan'er wiped the blood off her cheek and smiled: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come and claim my life."
