Chapter 121: An excited and sinister light flashed in Xu's eyes

"In that case..."

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she paused and turned to look at Nanny Sun.

"Go to the storehouse and bring back 1,200 taels of silver."

Nanny Sun nodded, turned around and walked out.

Upon hearing this, the corners of Xu's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

There was a look of pride in his eyebrows and eyes.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother sneered in her heart.

She has been in the harem for many years and has seen all kinds of women.

She could tell at a glance that Xu was just pretending.

But she has always felt guilty towards Xiaoting.

After all, if it weren't for her, Xiao Ting wouldn't have gotten lost...

She may never be able to repay Xiaoting's debt in this lifetime.

Since Xu wanted money, she would give it to her as long as she treated Xiaoting and the two children sincerely.

Soon, Nanny Sun came in with a box of silver.

Xu looked at the heavy box with her eyes wide open with excitement.

After receiving the money, Xu spoke to the Queen Mother even more enthusiastically.

But while she was drinking tea, her eyes would occasionally look outside the hall, as if she was waiting for someone.

Soon, the servants at the gate of Shoukang Palace reported.

"Your Majesty, the people from Linlangzhai are here."

Upon hearing this, Xu heaved a sigh of relief.

They really came...

Aunt Sun immediately said, "Let them in quickly."

As soon as she finished speaking, five women in pink long skirts slowly approached with wooden trays.

On each wooden tray, there is a jade porcelain box with exquisite paintings by famous artists.

Xu's gaze fell on one of the jade porcelain jars, with a sinister light in her eyes.

This was a plan she had been thinking about for a long time.

She wanted to discredit Shangguan Sui without letting anyone know that she was the one who did it.

It can only be done with the help of others.

All the things used by the royal family were under the management of the Imperial Household Department, and she had no say in them.

But the imperial merchants would contribute something every month.

And I just happened to know someone who worked in Linlangzhai.

She can then use someone else's knife to kill someone and complete the entire plan...

When the Queen Mother saw those women, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"I remember that the people sent by Linlangzhai before seemed to be all men."

Grandma Sun chuckled at the side: "Queen Mother, you remembered it wrongly. The one who came a year ago was a woman."

"After Princess Duanyang took charge of Linlangzhai, she recruited a large number of women so that they could also support themselves."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, okay, this is a great merit."

"I am really old and my memory is bad. I got it all mixed up."

Nanny Sun immediately said, "The Queen Mother is not old at all. She only comes to Linlangzhai once a month. It is normal for the Queen Mother to be confused."

Seeing them start chatting, Xu couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

She looked up at the five women in pink and immediately said, "What new tricks have you come up with this month? Show it to the Queen Mother."

The pink-dressed woman in the lead nodded and immediately opened a box to explain.

"This one is called Ruby Cream, it uses jade rose and peony, it is very nourishing to the skin."

"Linlangzhai produced five boxes in total, and they are all here."

The Queen Mother stood up and went forward to check.

The paste in the box is bright red.

She curled her lips and said, "No wonder it's called Ruby Cream. This color is really rare."

Xu also started to praise him.

"Usually only rouge is red, I didn't expect this skincare product could also be made red, you guys at Linlangzhai are really thoughtful."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "I can't use five boxes by myself, so why not give some to the concubines in the harem so that they can see it too."

But then she frowned, "There are very few people in the harem now, only Consort De and Consort Chen are left. Give them one box each, and there are still two boxes left..."

Xu knew that this was her chance.

She immediately stepped forward and said, "Queen Mother, aren't there two more princesses?"

"You won't forget the Second Princess and the Fifth Princess, right?"

"Give them one box each. These five boxes are just enough to finish them all. It's just right."

When the fifth princess was mentioned, the Queen Mother immediately beamed with joy.

"I am so old and confused that I actually forgot about Suisui and Li'er."

A faint smile appeared on Xu's lips, and she pointed at the jade box at the edge.

"This jade box has pictures of flowers, birds and fish painted on it. The Fifth Princess is a child and will definitely like it."

She turned to look at the Queen Mother, "What do you think, Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother chuckled as she thought of the lively and lovely little girl.

"I think it's a good idea to give this box to Sui Sui. I'm sure the little girl will like it."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Sun immediately gave an order to the maid beside her.

The maid stepped forward, took the wooden tray from the woman in pink, and slowly walked out of the hall.

Watching the maid's back as she left with the wooden tray.

There was a flash of excitement and sinister coldness in Xu's eyes.

This jade box with flowers and birds painted on it was the one she had tinkered with...

Fifth Princess, I hope to receive good news about your disfigurement tomorrow...

At night, at Jeseidang in the south of the city.

Liao Changning looked at the young and pretty faces in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

In the past two years, with the help of the Fifth Princess and Princess Duanyang, the Women's Medical School has now begun to take shape.

Many homeless girls were recruited.

Provide them with accommodation, teach them literacy and medicine.

They were gradually trusting her, and now that she was going to leave the capital for a while, she didn't know how to tell them.

Liao Changning was worried that the girls would object.

Sure enough, she just said that she was going to Mei County.

One of the girls, named Tang Luo, spoke up immediately.

"Sister Liao? You're actually going to Mei County?"

"It has spread in the capital that the epidemic in Mei County is serious and many people have died. Wouldn't it be dangerous for you to go to Mei County?"

She started talking, and the other girls followed suit.

"Sister Liao, this is really too dangerous. We are really worried that something might happen to you."

"Yes, Sister Liao, do you really have to go? Is there no other way?"

Liao Changning reached out and touched Tang Luo's hair.

In the candlelight, her beautiful face looked exceptionally gentle.

"People who study medicine should have a heart to save people from suffering and do justice for all living things. It is my ideal to be able to help more people. I must go to Mei County."

"Besides, I have read a lot of books about epidemics and I know how to protect myself. Don't worry, I will protect myself."

Upon hearing this, Tang Luo lowered his eyelashes.

But soon, she raised her head again and said in a clear voice, "Sister Liao, I want to go to Mei County with you. My medical skills have improved a lot now."

"I am also used to helping you, I will definitely be able to help you when the time comes!"

Tang Luo's dark eyes sparkled under the candlelight.

As soon as she finished speaking, the other girls also spoke up, "Sister Liao, I want to help you too!"

Yuezhai, who had been standing by without saying anything, couldn't help but speak up, "Changning, I want to go too."

Liao Changning smiled helplessly, looked at Yuezhai and said gently: "You can't go, you still have to stay in the capital to help me take care of the clinic."

Finally, Liao Changning picked a few older girls and decided to take them to Mei County.

She had just explained everything when Zhou Di knocked on the door.

"Doctor Liao, he's here again, waiting for you at the back door."

Zhou Di knew it was Lou Changqing without her having to say his full name.

Liao Changning pursed his lips, turned around and went to the back door.

Under the moonlight, the young man stood tall, his robe fluttering slightly in the night wind.

In two years, his back has become much broader.

Liao Changning walked closer and bowed slightly.

"I have met General Lou."
