Tang Miaoling held back her tears all the way back to the palace.
"Ms. Tang, please stay—" A clear male voice came from the side of the path.
The master and his two servants turned around at the same time.
Tang Miaoling was surprised, "Prince Yihe?"
Xiao Qingzi became nervous. Master Ning had specifically warned her to be careful of running into Prince Yihe...
Miss Tang almost got into trouble just now...
Now that he met Prince Yihe again, he became even more vigilant.
Xiao Qingzi was on full alert, staring at Prince Yihe, ready to prevent him from rushing over at any time...
Fortunately, Prince Yihe stopped three steps away.
"My Lord just saw Lady Tang being knocked down from a distance. I wonder how serious her injury is?" Prince Yihe looked concerned and handed Tang Miaoling a medicine bottle.
"This is a wound medicine prepared by the Imperial Hospital. It is very effective for injuries caused by falls. Xiao Wang used it often in the past and it worked very well. I am giving it to Lady Tang as a gift."
Xiao Qingzi quickly reminded, "Master, we can't accept things from outsiders..."
Tang Miaoling nodded in agreement: "Thank you for your kindness, Prince, but if I accept your things, I'm afraid someone will spread rumors that you and I have an affair..."
My cousin has been framed for this kind of thing twice!
No matter how stupid she is, she would never fall into this trap.
Prince Yihe was not discouraged. It didn't matter if he didn't accept it, he just came to show his goodwill...
It's enough for the other party to know that you are concerned about me. Nothing else matters.
"My beauty has been thoughtful. It was me who was in a hurry and forgot this point. For the sake of my beauty's reputation, I will take back the medicine bottle. I also ask my beauty to ask the imperial physician to take a look after you return to the palace. If you don't take care of your foot injury, it may leave a root of disease." Prince Yihe didn't care about Tang Miaoling's refusal at all. He was still gentle and kind, with concern in his eyes.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'll leave first--" Tang Miaoling nodded.
Prince Yihe hesitated to speak, "Lady Tang——"
"ah?"
"Today, I accidentally saw the beauty being bullied, and I felt very uncomfortable. If the beauty had not entered the palace, she would not have to suffer such pain..." A look of pity appeared on Prince Yihe's face.
Tang Miaoling nodded, "Of course not, what I regret most is entering the palace..."
If she had been reborn a few months earlier, she would not have participated in the talent show.
“But now that things have come to this, I can only hope that the beauty will be favored by my brother, and that others will show you some courtesy.” Prince Yihe’s eyes were complicated, as if he was in pain, hesitant, and forced to do so.
"I don't have that ability..." Tang Miaoling is very self-aware.
Prince Yihe had a very forbearing expression, "I am willing to lend a helping hand to the beauty."
Tang Miaoling originally thought that Prince Yihe was a nice person.
He is kind-hearted, good-looking and speaks well.
But when I heard him mention vying for favor...
Tang Miaoling became alert instantly!
It turns out you have evil intentions and want to send me away?
I almost got fooled by you!
"That's not necessary!" Tang Miaoling's politeness collapsed instantly, and she glanced at him coldly, "Don't let anyone think of sending me to death! Humph! Let's go!"
Xiao Qingzi and Cuiping hurriedly supported Tang Miaoling and walked forward.
Prince Yihe was left standing there with a bewildered look on his face.
Isn't this all well laid out?
Who wouldn't be confused when seeing such a loving prince who endures for love and gives to her without asking for anything in return?
"What did she mean by what she said just now?" Prince Yihe asked the entourage beside him.
The attendant stammered, "Maybe... Lady Tang thinks it's easy to die if you compete for favor..."
"But I have good intentions!" Prince Yihe was angry.
The attendant trembled and said, "I heard that Lady Tang...is not very smart..."
"Hehe——" Prince Yihe sneered.
She is more than not very smart.
She is so brainless that she can't even understand good intentions.
…
After Tang Miaoling returned to the palace, she immediately invited the imperial physician.
The injury was not serious, so she was relieved...
Xiao Qingzi was sure that his master was fine, so he immediately rushed to Lingxue Pavilion to report.
Master Ning gave instructions last time.
If Lady Tang meets Prince Yihe again, report to her immediately.
"Noble Lady Zhu suddenly rushed out and bumped into Concubine Tang, almost knocking her into the pool..." Xiao Qingzi recounted the whole story.
Ning Wanyin paused, "Where did you bump into him?"
"The arch bridge outside the Fairy Palace."
There are clan members offering sacrifices near the Xianling Palace.
A concubine fell into the water in public, and even if she was rescued, her reputation was ruined.
This was intended to take her life.
Ning Wanyin's eyes darkened slightly, but her expression remained calm, "Well, I understand."
Xiao Qingzi continued to report.
In particular, the expression of Prince Yihe was described vividly.
"... Concubine Tang was originally having a pleasant conversation with him, but when he mentioned competing for favor, Concubine Tang left in anger... After returning to the palace, she kept cursing at Prince Yihe, saying that he had ulterior motives and bad intentions and wanted to sow discord between you sisters!" Xiao Qingzi said.
Ning Wanyin: ...
Lotus:......
"Master, did my cousin misunderstand? I feel that Prince Yihe doesn't seem to want to sow discord, but seems to be deliberately trying to be friendly... and want to help my cousin..." Lian Rui was confused.
Ning Wanyin smiled, "It's okay, it's good that she understands."
After thinking carefully for three times, Ning Wanyin looked at Xiao Qingzi and said:
"You did a great job. Today you saved Lady Tang, Lian Rui, so I'll give Xiao Qingzi a bag of golden melon seeds as a reward."
Some time ago, Ning Wanyin sent some silver notes to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, asking them to make a few boxes of golden melon seeds as rewards.
She had spent all the money she brought into the palace long ago, so she didn't ask her mother to send more.
Because the emperor sent a stream of rewards to Lingxue Pavilion from time to time, in addition to gold, jade, silk, and other gold and silver items, there were also many of them.
"Thank you for the generous reward, Master!" Xiao Qingzi accepted the reward happily, "This is what a servant should do."
"Next, you continue to keep a close eye on Prince Yihe and never let Tang Miaoling be alone with him..." Ning Wanyin reminded.
Xiao Qingzi accepted the order, "I understand! I will keep a close eye on it!"
Xiao Qingzi received the reward and left.
Lian Rui looked at Ning Wanyin, "Master, what do you think Prince Yihe wants to do? From what I have seen from his words and actions, he cares about my cousin in every way. For my cousin's sake, could he be deliberately approaching my cousin to find out some secret information?"
Ning Wanyin lowered her eyes, "It would be better to place a palace maid in Xianfu Palace than a man from outside. He can only see Tang Miaoling a few times a year..."
When it comes to gathering information, timeliness is key.
He only sees her once during the holidays, and nothing he eats can keep her warm.
"So he just wants to find an opportunity to assassinate my cousin?" Lian Rui continued to guess.
Ning Wanyin said calmly, "If he has a grudge against the Tang family, he might do this."
"Could it be that he has fallen in love with my cousin? Is he crazy?" Lian Rui was incredulous.
Why not fall in love with any noble lady? Why not fall in love with the imperial concubine? Isn't that risking your life for love?
Ning Wanyin's eyes flashed with coldness, "Let's wait and see."
She did have some guesses in her mind.
