Chapter 501: An Intervention
"Second Miss Lin."
As soon as these words appeared in my mind, a female voice rang out.
Lin Zhiqing looked up and smiled, "Miss Bai."
Bai Ling nodded.
There was no further communication between the two.
Lin Zhiqing walked past her and headed out of the palace gate. Before leaving the palace gate, she turned around and looked at Bai Ling's back.
It is clearly the same person, but the familiarity we once had can no longer be restored.
She paused only for a moment.
All good things must come to an end. It is enough to maintain some relationships. Forcing them will only bring bad luck.
The path Lin Zhiqing has taken now has always been a bloody path of fighting his way out of giving up.
No one's coming and going can influence her thoughts.
But even so, he would still sigh in his heart that their fate was too shallow.
Apart from this little episode, Lin Zhiqing would go to the Concubine Xian's place every day after going to the Jiaofang.
The process of healing Concubine Xian will take about an hour.
Sometimes, Concubine Xian would ask the palace maid to take Lin Zhiqing out for a walk.
But just by doing this, Lin Zhiqing had no way of getting in touch with Concubine Shu.
But the scope of his actions in the palace is limited. If he continues like this, he will never achieve his goal in his lifetime.
Therefore, when the time is right, Lin Zhiqing will take the opportunity to propose changing the treatment location.
For example, go to the Imperial Garden, or go to the Yuchen Palace.
Lin Zhiqing's medical skills were indeed superb, so Concubine Xian did not refuse these requests.
As the saying goes, dripping water wears away stone, so Lin Zhiqing's efforts are not in vain.
When she changed the treatment location to the Thousand Carp Pond not far from the Shufei Palace, she finally met the legendary Shufei.
"May the Empress Shufei be safe." Lin Zhiqing started to pay his respects before he even saw what the person looked like.
"Get up. Sister Xianfei has been making a lot of trouble recently. I don't know if it's helpful?" There was a hint of indifference in the voice of Concubine Shu.
The virtuous concubine smiled kindly and said, "Sister, one should always think about oneself. As for the effect of this treatment, if you believe in it, it will work, and if you don't, it won't."
"Sister is still the most insightful." Concubine Shu replied indifferently.
From beginning to end, her eyes never stayed on Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing observed Concubine Shu calmly.
Unlike what she had imagined, Concubine Shu's appearance was indeed not top-notch, but there was no trace of sadness or resentment on her face.
If Lin Zhiqing had not known about the past of the Duke of Pei's Mansion in advance, he really would not have been able to connect his nephew, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, with Concubine Shu.
Thinking of this, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Lin Zhiqing's mind.
How can she get in touch with Concubine Shu?
Volunteer to treat Concubine Shu? !
This situation is in line with my current identity and position.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing rehearsed in his mind. After Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu finished speaking, he was about to speak when he saw an uninvited guest.
"The Queen has arrived!"
A high-pitched voice rang out, instantly interrupting the words of Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu.
Lin Zhiqing closed his eyes. How could a small pond like the Thousand Carp Pond be able to gather three noble ladies from the harem at the same time?
As the saying goes, three women make a drama, and Lin Zhiqing could sense a strange atmosphere among the crowd.
But she is not qualified to speak now.
"Empress." Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian bowed at the same time.
"Stand up." The Queen answered softly, and then asked a few questions.
Lin Zhiqing stood quietly by the side, without saying a word, but his ears were perked up.
It only took a short while for her to realize something was wrong.
The Queen was talking but her eyes kept glancing back as if someone was following her.
Hmm... Lin Zhiqing looked at the servants behind the queen and frowned slightly.
The Queen stood straight, her voice became louder and softer, and her eyes kept looking behind her. These behaviors were a bit strange.
What is she afraid of?
She is the Queen, the most noble woman in the palace.
Strange, really strange.
Lin Zhiqing was puzzled, so he looked up at the Queen.
Seeing this, the nanny beside the Queen frowned slightly.
But before she could say anything, the Queen suddenly mentioned Lin Zhiqing:
"I've heard before that Miss Lin Er has a great ability to heal illnesses and save lives. I thought it was just a rumor, but now I see it's true."
"I have been feeling very tired lately, and I wonder if Sister Xianfei would be willing to let Miss Lin come over to visit me."
The virtuous concubine looks much older than the queen, but she can only be called a younger sister.
Lin Zhiqing's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Concubine Shu first.
But she saw Concubine Shu standing aside, seemingly without any worldly desires at all, and she didn't even look at her.
What is this?
Instead of attracting the person he was supposed to attract, he attracted another big Buddha?
Unfortunately, Lin Zhiqing had no say here, so she had to suppress the distracting thoughts in her mind and wait for Concubine Xian to speak.
But before Concubine Xian could speak, the old nanny beside the Queen spoke:
"Empress, your body is so precious, how can you let Miss Lin see it? If you feel unwell, I will send someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial physician."
This tone... Lin Zhiqing frowned secretly.
She had come into contact with many servants, and most of them were very respectful and in a lowly position when speaking.
But this nanny's words and actions did not have the respect of an ordinary servant. Instead, there was a feeling of discomfort.
Lin Zhiqing couldn't describe the exact feeling, but it was definitely not good.
After hearing what the nanny said, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu did not say a word.
Lin Zhiqing looked up at the queen.
The Queen's brows drooped and her lips flattened into a line.
This expression only appeared for a moment and then disappeared.
The queen curled her lips and smiled: "That's true, then I won't take away what others like."
Lin Zhiqing was very confused.
She could see that the smile on the queen's face was very stiff and contained a sense of vigilance.
Who is she wary of?
Lin Zhiqing, the nanny, the imperial physician, and the Shufei and Xianfei.
Before Lin Zhiqing could observe further, the Queen looked at her and waved at her:
"I heard that Miss Lin will be marrying into Daliang soon. I am very pleased. Come here and let me see her."
She spoke very quickly, pursed her lips slightly, and her pupils dilated, as if she was expecting something, afraid that Lin Zhiqing would not come over.
How could Lin Zhiqing have the courage not to go?
The Queen is the master of the harem, and no one can surpass her.
Lin Zhiqing walked forward slowly and performed a standard salute. The Queen observed her carefully and a smile spread across her face.
"Indeed, he is beautiful. Everyone who comes out of the Changning Marquis' Mansion is excellent."
"Second Miss Lin, you traveled to Daliang for Dasheng. You are a hero of Dasheng. I have a bracelet here, and I will give it to you today."
She handed the bracelet to Lin Zhiqing.
The virtuous concubine smiled and said, "Since it is your Majesty's good intention, Zhiqing, you can keep it."
Lin Zhiqing immediately said, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your reward."
As he said this, he wanted to take the bracelet.
But the old nanny stepped forward first, took the bracelet, and then said:
"Your Majesty, this bracelet is a bit old. I will replace it with a new one to avoid humiliating Miss Lin."
