Chapter 34 I know I am wrong, please forgive me
Lin Miaoyin thought she was going to starve.
Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour, Yuzhu prepared four dishes and a soup.
Looking at the sumptuous lunch on the table, she blinked suspiciously, "Where did this come from?"
"Princess, just eat." Yuzhu said as she served her the food.
Lin Miaoyin put down her chopsticks.
Yuzhu was puzzled. "What's wrong, Princess? Don't you like it? I remember that these are your favorite foods."
"Your monthly salary is only two taels. How can I afford it if you use your private money to subsidize me?" Lin Miaoyin said and turned to go to the inner room. The original owner had a dowry and rewards from the queen every now and then, so she was naturally not short of money.
But she used to be stubborn and was afraid of being laughed at by others, so she never took out money to buy food.
She took out two ingots of silver and gave them to Yuzhu. "If you need money in the future, just tell me directly. I can still afford to feed these two mouths."
Yuzhu's eyes were red with distress, "Princess, your dowry is not much, how can you..."
"Okay, filling your stomach is important." Lin Miaoyin wiped her tears.
Yuzhu took the silver but only put one ingot into her bosom. "I will give this ingot to Steward Liu. Today's meal is thanks to him."
Lin Miaoyin nodded.
Seeing Yuzhu running out anxiously, she hurriedly called her back, "Come back and eat first. It won't be too late to deliver the silver after you've eaten."
"Yes, I will obey the princess."
After lunch, Lin Miaoyin went to the dungeon.
Mai Dong was quite surprised when he saw her, but he was always calm and collected, so even if he was confused, he didn't show it at all.
"My humble servant greets the princess." He bowed respectfully.
"Guardian Mai, there's no need to be so polite." Lin Miaoyin looked at the man in front of her calmly.
If you say he takes care of her, he also acts as if he is keeping her at a distance. If you say he doesn't like her, he is also polite and considerate.
"I wonder what the princess wants?"
Lin Miaoyin took out the golden wound medicine and handed it over. "Thank you for the gift of medicine. Now that my wound has healed, I will come to return the medicine."
"You are too polite, Princess. This is what I should do."
Mai Dong had no intention of taking it back. "There is no reason to take back something that has been given away. Princess, just keep it."
"I didn't know this medicine was so precious before. Now that I know, I naturally can't accept it."
"I'm no longer going to the battlefield, so I don't need this medicine." Maidong bowed to Lin Miaoyin with a firm attitude.
Lin Miaoyin smiled softly, "Who says you won't get hurt if you don't go to the battlefield?"
She said as she looked at Mai Dong's injured leg, "Guardian Mai's leg seems to be getting worse."
"Thank you for your concern, Princess. It will be no problem for me."
Stubborn indeed.
Lin Miaoyin did not back down and took the medicine. "I took Guard Mai's medicine, so I owe him a favor. What I said last time still counts. No matter when Guard Mai comes to see me, I will treat your injured leg."
"However, I would like to kindly remind Guard Mai that if you don't want to be disabled for life, you should come as soon as possible. If you stay here for more than seven days, I will be helpless."
Maidong bowed to Lin Miaoyin again.
After leaving the dungeon, the imperial edict from the palace was delivered to the mansion.
The person who announced the decree was Sun Changhai, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Ming, who specifically asked Lin Miaoyin to receive the decree.
So, when Lin Miaoyin arrived, Beigong You, who was waiting on the side, had a sullen look on his face, “Why don’t you come over quickly?”
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'll just wait a moment." Sun Changhai smiled.
After Lin Miaoyin and the others knelt down, he then opened the imperial edict.
"The Emperor, by the order of Heaven and Mandate, declares that the Princess of Ning has done a great service in treating the disease. I am very pleased and would like to reward her with 100 taels of gold, 10 hu of pearls, and 10 pieces of Sichuan brocade... I decree this."
Sun Changhai read out a long paragraph about rewards, but Lin Miaoyin was unable to remember it all. She only saw the palace maids and eunuchs filing in with the rewards.
Just as she was about to accept the order, Sun Changhai smiled and said, "The emperor asked me to tell Princess Ning that he can also fulfill one more request of her. Princess Ning, this is an unparalleled honor. Please follow me to the palace to express your gratitude."
"Your son obeys your order." Lin Miaoyin thanked the emperor and accepted the order.
"Then I will go outside and wait for the princess. Once you have packed, you can enter the palace." After handing over the imperial edict, Sun Changhai waited outside the mansion gate in a proper manner.
Beigong You stood up and looked coldly at Lin Miaoyin who was holding the imperial edict and said, "When you meet the emperor later, you will know what to say and what not to say."
"What should I say? And what shouldn't I say?"
Lin Miaoyin touched her chin and pretended to think, "When I see my father later, I will tell him that Concubine Song told the prince that I forced her to eat rotten buns. As a result, the prince was furious and ordered the kitchen not to give me food."
"Well, no, no, the prince's original intention was to tie me up and teach me a lesson..."
"Shut up!" Beigong You's forehead was bulging with veins and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound.
This woman is really getting more and more lawless!
Lin Miaoyin sneered, "King Ning wants me to keep my mouth shut, but he doesn't show any sincerity. This is really too much. Aren't you bullying me just because I like you? I'm telling you, my love for you ends here. Even if all the men in the world die, I, Lin Miaoyin, will never like you!"
Beigong You's black pupils suddenly shrank.
He was shocked by the deep disgust in the woman's eyes.
He had always thought that Lin Miaoyin was a piece of plaster that couldn't be gotten rid of, but he never expected that she hated him to such an extent!
At first, Lin Miaoyin was cold to him, and he thought she was playing tricks again, deliberately flirting to attract his attention. Later, she opposed him everywhere, and even remained indifferent to his intimacy with Yun'er.
He realized that she really didn't like him anymore.
In fact, he doesn't care.
But why do I feel empty inside when I hear her words of breaking up?
He must be crazy!
"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Feng Ming looked at Beigong You staring at Lin Miaoyin's back in a daze, and couldn't help but waved in front of him.
Beigong You finally came back to his senses, "What's wrong?"
Feng Ming immediately reported back: "There is news about the matter you asked me to investigate."
"Go to the study." Beigong You took a step forward.
As Lin Miaoyin walked out of Songzhu Courtyard, a white figure blocked her way.
She frowned, but before she could attack, Song Qingyun knelt down.
"Princess, all the mistakes are my fault..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Yuzhu snorted and reminded her, "Concubine? Is Concubine Song either a concubine or half a servant? Are you qualified to call yourself a concubine in front of the prince?"
"Miss Yuzhu is teaching me a lesson. I overstepped the limit." Song Qingyun gritted her teeth and swallowed the humiliation.
Looking at the imperial edict in Lin Miaoyin's arms, she couldn't help but tremble. "Princess, I know I was wrong. If you want to beat me or scold me, I won't complain at all. Please show mercy and forgive me this time."
