Chapter 21: Narcissism, Playing Hard to Get
"It is said that Prince Ning will bring Concubine Song back home today." Nanny Xu carefully observed Lin Miaoyin's expression as she spoke.
After today, she found that the person in front of her was very different from before. Even when King Ning defended Song Qingyun in front of her, she could remain calm. Only then did she muster up the courage to speak.
Otherwise, she would never dare to say this.
"No matter which dynasty or generation, there is no such thing as concubines returning home, not to mention that the emperor attaches great importance to rules, and now at this critical juncture. Therefore, Prince Ning must not accompany Concubine Song back to the Song family. Your Majesty did this, firstly to prevent Prince Ning from making mistakes, and secondly, of course, out of selfish motives."
"I know my aunt is doing this for my own good."
Seeing that Lin Miaoyin understood the Queen's painstaking efforts, Nanny Xu nodded with relief, "You also saw today that the Queen punished Concubine Song in front of Prince Ning. The Queen did this to let her know her status. In the face of the superior and the inferior, even Prince Ning can't protect her."
Of course, the Queen Mother also wanted to warn Prince Ning.
Tell him not to bully Lin Miaoyin.
"I have said so much to you just to tell you that there are some things that you don't need to do yourself. As for Concubine Song, you don't need to bother with her. There is no need to lower your status."
There are many ways to deal with a concubine.
Although Princess Ning's reputation was already bad, Her Majesty really didn't want her to add to the bad reputation.
"I understand what Mammy said."
After hearing these words, Lin Miaoyin naturally understood the Queen's good intentions.
"I'm glad that your princess understands. You can take a rest. I will take my leave now." Nanny Xu finished her words without lingering for long.
"Madame Xu, wait a moment."
Lin Miaoyin hurriedly told Yuzhu to prepare the writing brush and ink, wrote a prescription and handed it over, "Let your aunt eat a bowl before going to bed, it can help you sleep."
"This... where did this recipe come from?" Nanny Xu asked suspiciously.
How can Her Majesty be allowed to eat something of unknown origin?
She did not suspect that Lin Miaoyin wanted to harm the queen, but she was worried that she was being used by someone with ulterior motives.
"This is a prescription from a friend of mine who is a miracle doctor. Madam Xu, don't worry." Lin Miaoyin was very confident in Fanfan's prescription.
Fanfan has studied Chinese medicine since she was young and loves food, so she has developed a lot of medicinal diets. She was under a lot of pressure for a while and often suffered from insomnia, so she made a bowl of medicinal diet for her every night to help her sleep, and the effect was amazing. Since then, she has never suffered from insomnia again.
"The princess is thoughtful. Her Majesty will certainly be happy." Although she was full of doubts, Nanny Xu still accepted the prescription with a smile.
In the bedroom.
The Queen fell into deep thought as she looked at the prescription presented by Nanny Xu.
"My lady, what's wrong with this prescription?" Aunt Xu said with some worry. "Princess Ning has good intentions. If you are worried, how about I send it to the Imperial Hospital tomorrow and let the imperial physician take a look?"
"No need to bother, just send it directly to the imperial kitchen."
"Your Majesty?" Nanny Xu was surprised.
"Go ahead."
After Nanny Xu left, the Queen stood by the window, looking at the dark night and muttering, "Can people really become smarter overnight?"
…
After Lin Miaoyin finished washing up, she asked Yuzhu to apply medicine for her again.
The medicine that Maidong gave her was very effective. After just a few days, the wounds on her body had scabbed over.
Although she couldn't take a bath yet, she was already satisfied to be able to wash her body.
Lying comfortably on the couch, she soon felt sleepy.
When she was about to fall asleep, a dark figure flashed in front of the bed, and she woke up suddenly, "Who?"
Sitting up, I could see the man's face clearly.
Beigong You had a tall and straight figure, stern eyebrows and eyes, which showed disgust towards her. Coupled with his dark clothes, he looked like a ghost walking out of the dark night, very scary.
Lin Miaoyin only took a glance, then picked up the soft pillow on the couch and threw it at him, "Who allowed you to enter my room?"
Who was he trying to scare to death by coming to her bedside quietly in black clothes in the middle of the night?
Anyone who has experienced insomnia knows how painful it is to be woken up just after falling asleep.
At this moment, she was full of anger and had no good temper at all.
"You're asking even though you know the answer. Isn't this what you asked for?" Beigong You threw the soft pillow away and looked coldly at the woman on the couch who was wearing cool clothes. There was mockery in his eyes. "Your trick of playing hard to get really disgusts me."
He thought she had changed in the past few days, but he didn't expect her to be as disgusting as ever.
Lin Miaoyin almost laughed out of anger, "Playing hard to get? Are you okay?"
This man is really narcissistic.
Beigong You didn't want to say anything more. He just picked up the quilt on the couch and prepared to sleep on the floor.
For Yun'er, he had to stay tonight, but he didn't want to look at Lin Miaoyin's face even once, let alone sleep in the same bed with her.
Unexpectedly, a pair of slender arms snatched the quilt from his arms.
"What are you doing with my quilt?"
Lin Miaoyin's eyes were filled with impatience, "Go back to where you came from, I didn't ask you to stay!"
"Do you think I am willing to stay?" Beigong You was too lazy to pay attention to her. He simply lifted his robe and sat on the armchair in the hall, ready to sit here all night.
Lin Miaoyin looked at the patience in his eyes and became increasingly angry.
She was sleeping soundly and was woken up by him, but it turned out that he was compromising. Did he think she wanted to see his dead face?
"Get out!" She ordered them to leave.
Beigong You did not move. Now they were in Ganquan Palace, under the Queen's nose.
He had to stay tonight whether he wanted to or not.
Lin Miaoyin instantly understood what Nanny Xu meant by what she had just said. Only if Beigong You stayed with her would Song Qingyun be safe.
So... this bastard Beigong You treated her as a tool to protect Song Qingyun!
"Yuzhu! There's an assassin!"
You want her to be the biggest scapegoat, right? She doesn't need to give him face!
"Help! This is indecent assault!"
Lin Miaoyin shouted at the top of her voice towards the outside, and soon Yuzhu rushed in with a few young eunuchs carrying weapons.
"Princess, are you okay?" Yuzhu asked, holding a pair of scissors in her hand.
"There's a rapist who wants to molest me!"
Yuzhu looked into the hall warily, but saw that there was no one else in the room except the couple.
Her gaze hesitated for a moment on the dark figure, and then she looked at Lin Miaoyin suspiciously, "Princess, where is the assassin? Has he escaped?"
Ganquan Palace is heavily guarded, how could there be an assassin?
The prince is brave and skilled in fighting, with great martial arts skills. With him around, how can the assassin escape?
Could it be that the rapist the princess mentioned...
Yuzhu suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked over in disbelief.
"It's unreasonable!" Beigong You's face turned completely black. He threw down a few words and left the side hall with a flick of his sleeves.
"Close the door!" Lin Miaoyin turned around and lay on the couch.
Yuzhu looked at the angry figure of the man, took two steps to the front of the couch, and asked in confusion, "Princess, the prince finally came here, why are you driving him away?"
