Chapter 274 The Palace Fight Begins Again
The next morning, Si Linglong closed her eyes early, looking as if she had not slept well.
Because of Helian Yue's sudden "attack" yesterday, Si Linglong's dreams were filled with scenes of being pressed down and kissed by the other party. She was forced to reminisce the feeling, and Si Linglong felt that no matter in her dreams or in reality, she was not feeling well from head to toe.
Without calling for help immediately, Si Linglong tiptoed out of bed, and like a thief, she crept to the dressing table, then approached the mirror and carefully examined her lips.
[Very good, no more swelling.]
Si Linglong had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Shu Hong's voice from outside, "Noble Concubine, are you awake?"
Si Linglong almost gave a start, and rushed to the bed, diving into the quilt like an arrow, and then responded to the outside in a breathless voice,
"Well... it's up."
Shuhong then led the maid who brought water in and began to help her wash.
After tidying up everything, Si Linglong asked, "Where is the green man?"
"Qinglu said that the noble concubine did not sleep well last night, so she went to see Doctor Yu early in the morning and asked for some tranquilizers."
When Si Linglong heard this, she almost activated all her defense mechanisms.
"Who said I couldn't sleep well? I slept soundly!"
Looking at Shu Hong's silent smile, Si Linglong was almost angry to tears.
[Wow, Shu Hong has also learned bad things! ]
While they were talking, Qinglu came back. Before Si Linglong could attack her, she started gossiping.
"I went to look for Doctor Fang Yu this morning, but Zi Yue from Concubine Lian's room arrived earlier than me. She was very mysterious and asked for some mustard. I don't know what it is."
"Stupid, nephrite is camphor grass, used to remove heat." Si Linglong took the opportunity to scold her, but then she paused as she spoke, as if she had thought of something, and asked, "Did she only ask for nephrite?"
Qinglu nodded, "Yes."
Shu Hong was always quick-witted. Seeing Si Linglong seemed to be thinking about something, she asked, "What did you think of, Concubine?"
"Nepeta tenuifolia has the effect of inducing sweat and removing heat, but if you really have a fever, you will definitely get a prescription directly. You can't just get the same thing alone."
Si Linglong touched her smooth and delicate chin, with a meaningful look on her face, "I suspect that Concubine Lian is going to cause trouble."
"Is he going to take revenge on us?" Qinglu was a little nervous.
Are they going to start another palace fight?
Si Linglong shook her head in denial, "It's probably not directed at us."
Rather than treating colds, nephrolepis has another more common nickname - cat mint.
No matter how cool and arrogant a kitten is, it will become soft as a puddle for cat mint.
Si Linglong suspected that Bai Qianqian was going to meet the Empress Dowager this time.
Thinking of this possibility, Si Linglong suddenly narrowed her eyes.
Yesterday she was still regretting that she couldn't beat the heroine.
Isn't this the opportunity for revenge?
Si Linglong had something bad to do, so she simply forgot about the confusion that Helian Yue had caused yesterday. She hooked her fingers at Shuhong and Qinglu and whispered something in their ears.
Shuhong and Qinglu were surprised for a moment, then nodded in understanding.
Si Linglong looked at the two of them, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up into an evil smile that only villains can smile.
[Tsk, the palace fighting is about to begin again. ]
…
After breakfast, Qinglu had just prepared the things that Si Linglong had asked her to do. Shuhong also came back from outside and brought back news from Shouxin Hall.
"My dear concubine, everyone discovered this morning that Fuhua, who was in front of the Queen Mother, is missing."
Fuhua was the name of the tabby cat raised by the Queen Mother.
Si Linglong secretly complained in her heart that the name sounded like Ah Fu, but her face showed an expression of "as expected".
"I knew it."
It turns out that Bai Qianqian has no good intentions.
I guess she used cat mint to lure the cat away first, and then when the Queen Mother discovered that the cat was lost and got anxious, she would bring the cat back in person. The Queen Mother would definitely remember her kindness.
In the original novel, Bai Qianqian is the one who uses cats to please the empress dowager.
As for why he guessed her "plan" so accurately, it was of course because -
The idea of using scent to lure the small animals away and then taking the opportunity to cause trouble... was originally an idea she came up with for the system mission to help Bai Qianqian escape from the cold palace!
[What kind of heroine is this? She is so lazy when doing things. She just stole my idea! 】
