She was the youngest daughter of a century-old general's household, of noble status, cherished by her father and brothers, living a life of freedom and spontaneity. Yet, she was tragically murd...
Feng Ling looked at the woman lying on the bed in front of her with cold eyes. Her face was tired and her eyes seemed to be filled with annoyance. With a sneer, Feng Ling turned around with a sullen face, controlled the wheelchair and walked out of the room without saying a word.
Since the last nightmare, Qing Yue ordered Feng Ling to leave, and Feng Ling never set foot in her yard again.
Qingyue also stayed in the house quietly recuperating from her injuries.
She and Xiangqin used to live in Lanzhiyuan, and later moved to the north courtyard, named Qingfengyuan, which was also the courtyard she converted into a pharmacy.
In a flash, more than half a month passed.
It is said that the murderer who assassinated Princess You has not been caught until now.
Then the Qin family sent someone to deliver a letter, asking her to return home.
Qing Yue ignored them. What did the Qin family have to do with her? The one who really had something to do with them was Qin Wan, who had already left this world forever.
Qingyue was basking in the sun in the yard, directing Xiangqin to water the flowers in the garden.
Then the sound of a wheelchair rolling was heard, and Feng Ling appeared in Qing Yue's sight in a maroon brocade robe with dark patterns. Since she issued an order to expel him last time, Feng Ling threw his robe away and left. He has not appeared in front of her once in the past half month.
He didn't trust her, and Qingyue always knew it.
But she didn't care. She had already made her attitude clear and shown her sincerity. Her medical skills could even save his life. The two of them had temporarily reached a balance.
"Why did the prince find time to come here today?"
Qing Yue stood up, bowed, and spoke.
Feng Ling frowned as he looked at the woman in front of him. He really couldn't understand her. She had done nothing in the past half month and had never left the yard. Of course, she had never come to see him.
A few days ago, he had an attack of poison, but he gritted his teeth and endured it all night without calling the woman over.
The two people seemed to be competing with each other invisibly.
"The eldest princess' birthday banquet will be held in ten days. I've sent you an invitation. Will you go?"
Hearing Feng Ling's words, Qing Yue was stunned. The eldest princess' birthday banquet was a place where all the wealthy and powerful families would go to celebrate the birthday, simply because the eldest princess Chu Yu's status was too noble.
Princess Chu Yu and the Emperor of Chu were born of the same mother and had a deep relationship with each other. When the Emperor of Chu was vying for the throne, the situation was extremely dangerous, and it was the princess who escorted him all the way. She even blocked the knife for the Emperor of Chu in the dangerous moment and almost lost her life. This was also because the Emperor of Chu respected and treated the princess well.
Not only was she granted land and a mansion, but she was also given a princess's mansion in the capital.
The selected son-in-law was also chosen by the eldest princess herself, and was the top scorer in the liberal arts exam that year.
The two were extremely loving and had only one daughter, named Cheng Yiling, who was named Princess Pingyang at birth.
Princess Pingyang has an arrogant personality, but she is also very righteous. She was a very good friend of hers in her previous life. She met Princess Pingyang because of Chu Yan. At the beginning, they both disliked each other. After all, they both had somewhat flamboyant personalities, and people of the same sex repel each other, so they quarreled every time they met. Chu Yan was often helpless because of the quarrels, but he always had a way to appease both parties.
But I don’t know when, the two of them became good friends inexplicably while arguing.
She took Princess Pingyang to see a lot of fun things, such as catching birds in the mountains, fishing in the river, digging holes to catch moles, and even going to gambling houses and changing into men's clothes to visit brothels. She did all kinds of bad things, and the two of them were grounded many times because of this.
Thinking of the past, Qing Yue's eyes became a little empty.
Almost three months have passed since her tragic death and rebirth. She has seen her second brother and her father, but has never seen her mother. Her mother should be attending the eldest princess' birthday party. She really misses her mother so much.
"go."
Qing Yuedao.
"You're quite brave. The Princess's banquet will be a grand affair. I'm sure all the famous families in the capital will be there to congratulate her. There will be all kinds of entertainment. You grew up in the countryside and are not good at music, chess, calligraphy, or painting. You won't be able to use your medical skills there. I'm afraid you'll be harassed and embarrassed. Are you sure you want to go?"
Feng Ling said coldly.
"Doesn't it depend on the prince's attitude whether I will be harassed or not?"
Qing Yue raised her eyes and her gaze fell lightly on Feng Ling's face.
The two people looked at each other, a silent game.
In the end, neither of them spoke again. Feng Ling seemed to have just come to inform them of the news and left. After Feng Ling left, Qing Yue stared at a certain place in the garden with her clear eyes for a long time without moving.
She has been recovering from her injuries for more than half a month and can't do anything.
But now, it was the eldest princess’ birthday, so she had to do something.
If she remembered correctly, the eldest princess was fond of opera and would invite opera troupes to perform in her mansion every year on her birthday.
As night fell, stars appeared in the sky.
Qingyue left the mansion after dinner.
"Princess, it's so late, where are you going?"
"You've eaten too much. Go out and digest it. No need to follow me."
After leaving Prince Yu's Mansion, Qingyue put on her felt hat and walked towards South Street.
As soon as Qing Yue left the house, she realized that someone was following her. She knew it must be Feng Ling's men. Her eyes flashed slightly, and she pretended not to know. She turned a few corners and walked straight towards the back door of an alley.
"I went to see Boss Zhou and told him I was here to see his grandson."
*
Prince Yu’s Mansion, study.
Shadow reported, "Master, after leaving the palace, the princess went to a house in the second alley of East Lane Street. I checked and found that the owner of that house is the owner of the opera house, named Zhou He."
In the candlelight, the expression on Feng Ling's face flickered. Why did Qin Wan go to see the owner of the opera house?
After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Back off."
Ten days later.
Early in the morning, Qing Yue got up early to wash and dress. She wore a light purple dress with layered hems. It did not look cumbersome, but instead looked like a fluttering butterfly with every step she took. There were tassels hanging from her waist, which swayed in harmony with the hem of her skirt.
Although Xiangqin was not very courageous, she was very clever and skillful. She helped Qingyue comb her hair into a knotted style and only put a golden hairpin on her head, which made her look simple, elegant and noble.
"Princess, you are so beautiful."
Xiangqin is now very familiar with Qingyue and knows her personality, so she is bolder when talking to her.
"You are dexterous."
Qing Yue praised her. She had not forgotten that the little maid had protected her when she was injured last time and even dared to disobey Feng Ling. She was a loyal maid, so she would not treat her unfairly.
"Princess, the prince is waiting in the front yard."
