Tang Shiyue hesitated.
The Imperial Concubine saw it and stroked her hair gently: "Don't be afraid, Yue'er, just say what you want to say."
Tang Shiyue thought about it, then waved his hand and asked the servant to go out. Gu Jiuxing looked at Emperor Ming Yan, who nodded, and he also retreated.
The Imperial Concubine glanced at Emperor Ming Yan and asked, "What does Yue'er want to say?"
Tang Shiyue said seriously: "Mother, Father, there is one thing I think I should tell you."
"Have I ever told you that I've been having strange dreams since I fell into the Black Water River? I've done what Aye said about the button, so I think I might really be the reincarnation of Princess Yue'er..."
Emperor Ming Yan naturally knew this and nodded.
Tang Shiyue looked at him and continued, "My mother said that the little princess died of illness. I don't know if it's true, but I feel something is wrong. Because in my dream, I heard a woman's voice. She said that I was a 'little girl who would die if killed'. I could clearly sense her malice. I think she killed me."
They were both stunned.
After a long while, the Imperial Concubine trembled and said, "Yes, is it a woman?"
...
...
Tang Shiyue held her hand and nodded gently. The Imperial Concubine asked, "What kind of female voice is that?"
Tang Shiyue said: "I can imitate human speech. Wait a minute, I'll get the feeling."
She pondered in her heart for a while, then slowly uttered a cold voice, "She is just a little girl...who will die if killed..."
The Imperial Concubine shuddered suddenly.
She trembled and said, "Linlang! Linlang!"
Linlang came in and knelt on the ground immediately... The house here is not as soundproof as the palace. She and Gu Jiuxing were guarding the gate and also heard this sentence.
The Imperial Concubine murmured, "Who is it? Who is she?"
Linlang's voice was also trembling, and she whispered, "Listen, this servant... Yes, Zhen agreed."
Pearls! Yes, pearls!
When she first entered the palace, the four senior palace maids around the Imperial Noble Concubine were Linlang, Jinyu, Amber, and Zhenzhu.
Later, Zhenzhu betrayed her master and climbed onto the dragon bed in Yonghe Palace, and was rejected by the Imperial Noble Consort. Emperor Mingyan was drunk and did not recognize her, and was furious after waking up. He only made her a concubine and threw her aside and never cared about her again.
I didn’t expect it… I didn’t expect it!
They had always thought that the little princess had a sudden illness, but they didn't expect that she was murdered by someone? ?
The imperial concubine covered her mouth and cried out.
Emperor Ming Yan's expression was also terribly cold.
After a long while, he said, "Don't be afraid, Yue'er. I will take care of this matter." He gently stroked the Imperial Concubine's back and said, "Don't worry, Hui. I will get to the bottom of this matter!"
Tang Shiyue secretly gave the Imperial Concubine a thumbs up.
The Imperial Concubine was not a weak person, but at a time like this, crying was the best way... because the one who did it was also the Emperor's woman, and her investigation was far inferior to the Emperor's own.
Tang Shiyue comforted the Imperial Concubine, and waited until she stopped crying and drank some hot tea. Then, she waved her hand and drove Gu Jiuxing and the other man out, laughing quietly, "Look, I'm going to tease them for a bit."
She coughed and imitated the Imperial Concubine's voice: "Linlang!"
Linlang came in and bowed, saying, "My Lady."
When they saluted, their eyes were looking down, so they couldn't see who was speaking. Tang Shiyue continued, "It's okay, you can go out."
Linlang was confused and could only go out again. Then Tang Shiyue coughed twice, tried to find the feeling, and said in the voice of Emperor Ming Yan: "Gu Jiuxing!"
Gu Jiuxing came in in response: "Your Majesty!"
Tang Shiyue asked: "Can you sing?"
Gu Jiuxing obviously heard something wrong, and tried to look up, saying, "Your Majesty, I don't know how to do that."
Tang Shiyue pulled Ming Yandi hard, and Ming Yandi had no choice but to stand in front of her. Then the two of them sang a duet. Tang Shiyue grabbed his shoulders from behind and said in a deep voice: "Then can you dance?"
Gu Jiuxing was confused: "Your Majesty, I am not very good at it..."
"Alas!" Tang Shiyue said, "You are too stupid! Then get out!"
Gu Jiuxing recognized the sigh: "County Lady?"
Emperor Ming Yan felt the light and warm weight of the little girl behind him, and was in an unusually good mood. He laughed and scolded him: "Fool! You can't even recognize my voice!"
Gu Jiuxing understood what he heard now, and knelt down neatly, and apologized in a playful manner: "I deserve to die! But the little princess's move was really amazing! Your Majesty, you even covered for her in person, so you can't blame me for being stupid!"
Emperor Ming Yan laughed out loud.
In fact, Tang Shiyue was certainly not really teasing them. She mainly wanted to dilute their impression of her. Don't imagine her imitating her when you think of that "Pearl".
When Emperor Mingyan and his companion left, they left two eunuchs with her, one named Baopu and the other Baozhuo, both of whom were people close to the emperor. However, the Imperial Noble Consort still left Linlang with her, saying that she was worried about other people.
No matter what, they treated her like a relative.
Tang Shiyue hopped on one leg to see them out, and then Weixin carried her back to the couch. Tang Shiyue called Linlang: "Aunt Linlang, please sit down."
Linlang bowed gracefully: "I don't deserve to be called Your Highness."
"It's my duty." Tang Shiyue looked at her for a few seconds.
Linlang has followed the Imperial Noble Consort since she was a child. She is nearly forty years old and has a very gentle appearance, the kind that doesn’t look pretty at first glance, but becomes prettier the more you look at her.
Tang Shiyue asked her: "Aunt Linlang, don't you plan to get married?"
Linlang said: "I don't want to get married. Your Majesty asked me this question in my early years, and I answered the same way."
Tang Shiyue nodded: "My place is different from the palace, are you happy here?"
Linlang said, "When the queen met His Highness for the first time, she said after returning to the palace that she wanted to pick someone to take care of His Highness. She said that His Highness grew up in the common people, had abilities, didn't like being constrained, and didn't want to enter the palace, so she didn't want to enter the palace for the time being. But without an older person to look after him, the queen was worried. So she asked me and Jinyu who was willing to come, and it was my own will that she was willing."
Tang Shiyue asked, "Why?"
Linlang hesitated for a moment, then said bluntly, "First, for the Majesty. I am stupid, but I usually serve the Majesty. Anyone can do this job. Jinyu has always been smart, and sometimes she can help the Majesty with an extra eye and an extra ear. The Majesty can't live without her. Second, for myself. I entered the Meng Mansion when I was five years old and have been with the Majesty. Now that I am old, I want to leave the palace and relax with Your Highness."
He said this very frankly, obviously having seen through Tang Shiyue's temper.
Tang Shiyue nodded: "Okay, then you can stay. With my aunt by my side to help me take care of things, I can be more lazy."
Linlang bowed and said, "I will do my best."
"Well," Tang Shiyue said, "I don't have many rules here. There is no need to talk about other things. There is only one rule: you are not allowed to hide anything from me. Unless there is an order from above, otherwise, you must tell me everything."
Linlang nodded and said, "Yes, Linlang will remember it."
