Chapter 56 She is afraid, she is really afraid
In fact, Ruan Yiyu and the others were also very anxious, but there was no way, they had to cooperate with the other side.
The process of the emperor's banquet was faster than theirs, and the atmosphere was more serious than theirs.
They have to wait until the emperor leaves before they can take action.
Hearing the people around her praising the gift Ling Chan gave to the Queen, Ruan Yiyu became even more anxious. She couldn't bear to see Ling Chan feel comfortable at all.
Finally, the maid who went out to inquire about the news came back and whispered a few words in Ruan Yiyu's ear.
Ruan Yiyu immediately smiled.
Ling Chan also perked up and was ready to start.
She looked back at Gong Lan, signaling Gong Lan not to delay other people's important business for a while.
Gong Lan nodded helplessly.
At this time, it was time to serve the food again, and this should be the last time.
The maid who served Ling Chan gave her a timid look before placing the first two dishes on her table. But when it came to the third dish, her hands were noticeably unsteady...
Ling Chan smiled and looked at the palace maid kindly.
The little palace maid swallowed and poured the last dish onto Ling Chan in one go.
"Please forgive me, Princess. I was careless." The little palace maid knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly without waiting for Ling Chan to react.
The sound of kowtow made everyone quiet down, and they looked towards Ling Chan curiously.
Ling Chan stood up and pushed the food hanging on her body to the ground, then walked to the little palace maid, grabbed her wrist with one hand and "pulled her up".
"It's okay, you didn't do it on purpose. How could I blame you?"
The little palace maid's wrist was held in Ling Chan's hand. It seemed nothing serious, but in fact, the bones in her wrist were about to break.
"Ah..." She wanted to scream in pain, but seeing Ling Chan's warning look, she could only swallow it back.
"When collecting money and doing things, you also have to consider whether you have the life to spend it." Ling Chan said in a low voice.
Letting go of the little maid's hand, she said kindly, "Go down."
The maid moved her wrist, and it was fine? It was so painful just now...
Looking at the little palace maid running away in panic, Ling Chan snorted inaudibly.
It's fine now, but the bones are all cracked. If you apply a little force, the bones in the wrist will break into pieces, and even the best doctor can't restore them.
"Sister, I brought some spare clothes. Let's go change." Ling Xueyao came to Ling Chan as soon as possible, obviously unable to wait.
Liu Huaiyu followed closely and glanced at Ling Xueyao warily, "Ling Chan, I also brought clothes, you can also change into mine."
How could Ling Xueyao let Liu Huaiyu ruin things? "No need, my sister and I are about the same height, so mine would be more suitable."
Liu Huaiyu didn't know if it was because she had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, but she looked stronger than other women and was half a head taller than them.
"Huaiyu, thank you, but I'd better change to... Ling Xueyao's." Ling Chan couldn't call her sister.
"Go change at Chunhua Palace next door." The Queen said. Chunhua Palace was right next to Yongming Palace where they were.
"Go around through the back door and don't go to the front hall." The front hall was where the emperor gave banquets, and now it was occupied by men, so it would be inappropriate for them to go there.
Chunhua Palace was the palace where the newly selected beauties lived during the selection every three years. Now it is empty, with only a few cleaning ladies left inside.
Ling Xueyao helped Ling Chan out of the hall, and then went around to the back door of Yongming Palace under the watchful eyes of the wives of low-ranking officials who were seated outside the hall.
Seeing that there was no one around, Ling Xueyao let go of Ling Chan and walked in front of her, "Hurry up."
It's too late.
This time, my grandmother finally persuaded my grandfather...
Ling Chan quickened her pace to cooperate, "Ling Xueyao, why are you so anxious...?"
Ling Xueyao's heart trembled slightly, and she looked at her awkwardly, "No reason, I'm just afraid that you'll catch a cold."
"Haha." Ling Chan smiled.
The two entered Chunhua Palace from the back door. Because it was for concubines to live in, there were many rooms in Chunhua Palace, and there were also many independent small courtyards.
"Aren't there rooms here?" Ling Chan pointed to the rows of houses. This should be where ordinary concubines live, just like a dormitory.
"These rooms are too small. Let's go to the small courtyard in front." Ling Xueyao pulled Ling Chan again and walked towards the independent small courtyard.
The independent small courtyard is for those beautiful ladies with good backgrounds to live in.
Ling Xueyao walked through each courtyard, glanced at the gate, but did not go in.
Until it stopped at the gate of a courtyard with a red cloth hanging on it.
"Let's do it here." Ling Xueyao pushed Ling Chan, "I'll wait for you here, change quickly."
He even stuffed the bag on his arm onto Ling Chan, putting on a very thorough performance.
Ling Chan took the bag and said, "Why don't you come in with me?"
"I won't go in." Ling Xueyao said as she took two steps back, "You go in."
Ling Chan grabbed her and pulled her in front of her, "Ling Xueyao, if you don't come in with me, how do you know if I will be knocked unconscious?"
"What did you say?" Ling Xueyao asked in disbelief, her eyes wide open.
"I said...you have to come in with me." Ling Chan pulled Ling Xueyao into the yard without saying anything.
"No." Ling Xueyao was dragged away by Ling Chan. She tried desperately to pull her arm back, but it was impossible.
At this moment, a small tree passed by. Ling Xueyao grabbed the tree with one hand and argued with Ling Chan, "I won't go in, Ling Chan, I won't go in."
She would be foolish if she didn't understand the situation at this point.
Ling Chan knew, she knew what they were going to do.
How did she know...? And what was she going to do?
Ling Chan grabbed Ling Xueyao's other hand and slowly pried open her fingers one by one, watching Ling Xueyao's face slowly turn pale.
"Don't you and your mother always want to ruin my reputation and send me to Yulu Temple?" Ling Chan's voice was calm and cruel. "You also said that my mother was not decent..."
"I'll let your mother, and everyone else, see what an unruly woman looks like."
Ling Chan continued to pull Ling Xueyao towards the room in the yard, and stopped when they reached the door.
Ling Xueyao desperately shook her head, her face covered in tears and rouge and powder. "No, Ling Chan, I beg you, please let me go. Please let me go."
"I was wrong, I can't go in..." She squatted down as hard as she could, hoping that Ling Chan would not send her into the room.
Ling Chan smiled, "Ling Xueyao, are you afraid that Prince Huai won't want you?"
Ling Xueyao's head shook like a rattle. She was scared, she was really scared.
As long as she steps into this room, she will be finished, her life will be over.
At this moment, she completely forgot what would happen if Ling Chan stepped into this room.
"Ling Chan, we are sisters, we are real sisters." Ling Xueyao sat on the ground, tears and snot falling to the ground along with her head.
Ling Chan looked down at her...the original owner's memories flashed through her mind.
Four-year-old Ling Xueyao pushed six-year-old Ling Chan into the pool and had someone watch from the side. Only when Ling Chan drank enough water and sank did someone pick her up with a fork.
Five-year-old Ling Xueyao used her hands to dig into Ling Chan's mouth because Ling Chan was so hungry that she stole a bun from the kitchen, leaving it bloody.
Six-year-old Ling Xueyao asked the doctor to prepare a bowl of laxative with an astonishing dosage and gave it to Ling Chan, who had caught a cold. Ling Chan couldn't control herself and defecated all over the bed, and was paralyzed in bed for seven days.
Seven-year-old Ling Xueyao and six-year-old Ling Xuehui pushed Ling Chan's head into the water together, just because a gift was sent from the palace that day.
Eight-year-old Ling Xueyao and seven-year-old Ling Xuehui whipped Ling Chan together just to make four-year-old Ling Yu happy.
...
So many things...
Ling Chan smiled softly and gently, "Because we are sisters, I have to send you in personally."
