Chapter 36: Blessings, mistaking pearls for fish eyes
He looked at the woman in front of him indifferently.
This girl held a knife to him to negotiate terms yesterday without blinking an eye, but now she is afraid.
The few cuts she had made on her hands and feet alone were enough to punish her by death.
To offend the dragon's body is extremely disrespectful!
"Thank you, father. Your Majesty, you do not bear grudges and are indeed a wise ruler." Lin Miaoyin flattered him at the same time.
Last night, she made cuts on Emperor Ming's wrists and ankles to let the blood flow.
When the poisonous blood was almost released, no one woke up. Seeing that the Empress Dowager and others were about to block the entrance of the Qianqing Palace, she was anxious and had no choice but to put the tip of the knife to the Emperor's chest, ready to release his heart's blood.
Only then did Emperor Ming wake up.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Emperor Ming was also a little puzzled, as he had heard a lot of rumors about Lin Miaoyin.
They all said she was jealous, domineering, and aggressive, and everyone avoided her. But in his opinion, this girl was just strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and she didn't have any real courage.
But what she did yesterday shattered his impression of her.
He still remembers that she held the knife in her hand, her eyes glanced at his pillow intentionally or unintentionally, and she said slowly: "Father's poison is easy to say, but also difficult to say. If there is no antidote, you can only try my secret recipe."
After he woke up, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she said boldly, "Since I have cured my father, may I ask the emperor for a reward?"
What a little girl who doesn't know her own limitations.
If it weren't for the hemostatic patch she put on her hand, she would have died a thousand times over.
However, this girl did help him to relieve his boredom.
He has been in a high position for a long time, and people are kneeling and crawling on the ground everywhere.
Even when he was on a secret visit, the people saw him as if he were a god and wanted to worship him.
His sons, in particular, were terrified when facing him.
It has been a long time since anyone dared to threaten him.
Only then did Lin Miaoyin dare to look at the gold ring on Emperor Ming's hand, "I want to know the origin of this gold ring."
She didn’t dare to look too much at the treatment given to Emperor Ming last night or the requests made later.
Afraid that Emperor Ming would become suspicious.
In the original owner's memory, the person in front of him was very suspicious.
Emperor Ming was a little surprised, but not shocked.
He glanced at his hand calmly, "Oh, you are interested in my ring?"
Lin Miaoyin nodded without saying anything more.
"Why don't you consider changing it?" Emperor Ming stroked the gold ring and said meaningfully.
As far as he knew, this girl loved the Fourth Prince terribly, and he thought that her request would be related to the Fourth Prince's new concubine, but he didn't expect that she would want to know this.
Lin Miaoyin shook her head firmly.
Emperor Ming laughed and said, "You should go back and ask the fourth brother about the origin of this ring."
Lin Miaoyin was surprised.
Is this ring related to Beigong You?
"When I went incognito last year, the fourth son accompanied me." Emperor Ming added, "This request does not count. I will allow you to make another one."
"I have no other request."
Lin Miaoyin is not stupid. She knows that Emperor Ming wants to use her to get rid of Song Qingyun naturally and take the opportunity to warn Beigong You.
Let him understand that the king's orders cannot be disobeyed.
She doesn't want to be cannon fodder.
"In that case, I'll remember this for you." After saying this, Emperor Ming waved his hand, motioning Lin Miaoyin to kneel down.
After leaving the imperial study, Lin Miaoyin breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there was no harm.
But what happened next made her feel troubled.
She had planned to pack up and leave Prince Ning's Mansion after learning the origin of the ring, but now Emperor Ming told her that Beigong You knew the origin of the ring... After coming out of the imperial city today, she became more and more fearless as she thought about leaving soon, and she was almost about to break up with Beigong You.
What to do now?
…
After nightfall.
After taking a bath, Emperor Ming returned to his bedroom, took out a brocade bag from under his pillow, called Sun Changhai to hand it to him, and said, "Take it to Zhang Miaochun and tell him not to look for it anymore."
Sun Changhai boldly asked, "Could it be that Princess Ning is the person the Emperor is looking for?"
As soon as he finished asking, he realized that he had said too much and immediately slapped his mouth, "Oh, look at my mouth, I deserve a beating!"
"You are an old man by my side, so it's okay for you to know."
"So this is why you forgave Princess Ning." Sun Changhai sighed, "She cut your wrists and ankles, and she even wanted to let your blood flow. How dare she do that..."
If this happened to someone else, it would be a serious crime that would lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan!
Emperor Ming laughed, "That girl wouldn't dare to do that. She is just trying to scare me."
His mind is as clear as a mirror.
As early as she finished bleeding, she knew that the antidote was under his pillow, but she didn't give it to him.
They both knew that the antidote was useless.
Using it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.
So, what she said was correct. His poison was simple and difficult at the same time, it all depended on his thoughts.
"The fourth son's wife is a smart person." He sighed.
"This is King Ning's blessing." Sun Changhai smiled with wrinkles all over his face and flattered him.
"Blessing?" Emperor Ming snorted coldly, "He mistook pearls for fish eyes, how can he be blessed?"
…
The moon and stars are sparse.
The spring night is very quiet.
There was no peace in the Qingzhu Courtyard. Song Qingyun kept pacing in the courtyard, feeling uneasy.
Zizhu looked at her shaky body and could no longer bear it. She stepped forward to support her and persuaded her, "My Lady Concubine, you have been walking for the whole afternoon. How can your body bear it? Go and rest."
Song Qingyun shook her head with difficulty and said, "I have to wait for the imperial edict." This concerns her fate.
Without the imperial edict, she would not be able to put her mind at ease.
"It's already very late. Even if the imperial edict comes, it will have to be tomorrow. Would you please eat something first?" Zizhu said softly.
Song Qingyun refused and held her hand tightly, "Where's the prince? Hasn't he come back yet?"
This afternoon, as soon as Lin Miaoyin left the house, she went to the study to find Beigong You.
But I was told that Beigong You had gone out.
Zizhu shook her head. "I asked, and Steward Du said that the prince left in a hurry and didn't say when he would be back. I guess there will be no news until tomorrow."
Song Qingyun's face turned even paler when he heard this.
Now that Beigong You is not here, once the imperial edict is issued to Prince Ning's Mansion, even if Lin Miaoyin beats her to death or sells her out, she will not be able to say a word.
No one can protect her!
"Don't worry, Concubine. The prince won't let you down."
Song Qingyun bit her lip. She knew how Beigong You felt about her and was afraid that Lin Miaoyin would do something to her when Beigong You was not around.
She was shocked, frightened, and exhausted.
The scene in front of me gradually became blurred.
Zizhu didn't notice and the person next to her fell down. She was so scared that she screamed, "Concubine!"
The next morning.
Lin Miaoyin was still asleep when the door was kicked open.
She was so startled that she sat up from the couch.
