Chapter 65: The Night is Long and the Dreams are Many
After returning to Linghua Palace, Si Linglong took another look at Cinnabar.
Zhu Sha had been reapplied with medicine and was now crying to Si Linglong.
"I really don't want to leave the palace, my lord. Please allow me to stay by your side for all the years I have served you. I really know I am wrong."
Seeing that she was crying pitifully, Si Linglong could only comfort her softly, then returned to her own bedroom, and asked someone to run to the Yu Hospital to get some medicinal herbs back, and then started to make ointment for the wound.
Shu Hong asked curiously, and Si Linglong just said, "The medicine we got from the hospital is slow to take effect. I'll make her some new ointment so she can heal faster."
Shu Hong saw that not only did she not mention letting Zhu Sha leave the palace again, but she also made ointment for Zhu Sha herself. She was really jealous of Zhu Sha in her heart.
Despite having such thoughts, the master was still willing to accept her, and was willing to have a conflict with Concubine Li for her, and even made ointment for her personally.
At this moment, Shu Hong really felt that no matter how hard she tried, her position in her master's heart would never be as good as Zhu Sha's.
For the first time, she felt a little jealous of Cinnabar.
At this moment, the little palace maid brought medicine, saying that the medicine for cinnabar was ready.
"According to your instructions, I have added a tranquilizer to the drink. You will definitely sleep better after drinking it."
Si Linglong waved her hand, signaling the palace maid to deliver the medicine to Zhusha.
Shu Hong looked at Si Linglong with complicated eyes, her mood was inexplicably gloomy, she just thought that Zhu Sha's position in the noble's heart was really unmatched, and she thought today that the noble really intended to send the person out of the palace and said those words.
It's really ignorant of good and evil.
Just as he was laughing at himself, he heard Si Linglong's instructions, "Shuhong, go and make some arrangements. After Zhusha finishes drinking the medicine and falls asleep, quietly send him out of the palace before the medicine is administered at the palace gate. Don't alarm anyone this time."
Her voice was so calm and still that Shu Hong thought for a moment that she had misheard.
"My Lord, do you still want to send the cinnabar out of the palace?"
Si Linglong poured the ground medicine powder into the jar and stirred it carefully. Hearing the sound, she only glanced at her and said, "That's what I had planned. Even if I don't send her today, I will still send her out of the palace after her injury heals."
Si Linglong paused and frowned, "But I have a bad feeling in my heart. I always feel that Lipin's punishment of her today is weird. It's better to send her out as soon as possible."
After all, there is a saying that the longer the night, the more dreams one has.
Si Linglong also knew that it was not kind to send a seriously injured person out of the palace overnight, but a woman's sixth sense made her have to be more careful, and the ointment she prepared by herself was her compensation.
As for giving her the sedative, it was because I didn't want her to make a noise when the time comes.
Shu Hong only understood her nobleman's intentions at this moment. The gloom in her heart was almost instantly washed away. She seemed to have returned to her previous serious and reserved appearance. She lowered her head and replied, "Yes, I will definitely get it done this time."
Having said that, he walked out quickly.
Si Linglong looked at Shu Hong's back and secretly clicked her tongue.
[She is still a little girl. ]
Si Linglong quickly prepared the ointment and asked someone to put it into Zhusha's bag. Before nightfall, two young eunuchs carefully carried the sleeping Zhusha, hurriedly escorted him out of the palace in front of the palace gate, and then sent him back to the Si family mansion overnight.
As for Zhu Sha's crying and making a fuss after waking up and finding that she had been sent home, that is a story for later.
At the other end of the main hall, as soon as Si Linglong's people came out of Linghua Palace, the secret guards reported the situation to Helian Yue.
Helian Yue raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Si Linglong's little action.
This woman is smart for once.
However, this cleverness was not because he was worried that the girl named Zhusha would climb into his bed.
Thinking of this, Helian Yue snorted again, but still waved his hand to signal the secret guard, "Since she doesn't want to be discovered, then you can help cover it up and don't let those nosy people in the harem know."
The secret guard responded and quickly disappeared.
As soon as the man left, Fu Tai walked in, smiling, and asked carefully, "Your Majesty, which lady's palace are you going to visit today?"
As he was busy with the affairs of Duke Dingshan, Helian Yue had not set foot in the harem for almost half a month.
But today is the first day of the new year after all.
The more Helian listened to Futai's words, the more he felt that he should do something. After a little thought, he stood up.
"Go ahead."
Fu Tai's eyes lit up and he asked, "Which empress's palace is the emperor visiting?"
"Go to the side hall." Helian Yue said briefly and to the point. The setting of being someone's favorite concubine cannot be lost.
Futai: ...
Oh, don't explain, I have seen through everything.
