Chapter 249 Mastermind
"Aunt, there are dark circles under your eyes. Did you not get enough rest last night?"
Li Xihua simply sent Zhao Guixiu to the gate of Nanxun Palace and left. Bai Liangyu did not meet Li Xihua.
Zhao Guixiu held his forehead, sighed, and shook his head.
"I used all my words and racked my brains to persuade Xihua, that overbearing little girl, to get along with you. I persuaded her to let His Royal Highness the Third Prince find an opportunity to bring His Majesty to see you, and to always speak well of you in front of His Majesty, so as to help you regain your favor and win your favor.
Xihua is a straightforward person and doesn't like to lie. She has promised her aunt something and will never go back on her word.
And Yu'er, you have always been generous. This time, I can finally rest assured. It doesn't matter if there are conflicts, as long as you are willing to resolve them. She helps you once, and you help her once. Sisters should support each other!
Thinking about you two sisters living happily together in the future, Xihua having a prince, and you having someone to rely on in your belly, the future is bright, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep. I woke up early today, anxious to come back to see Yu'er and tell her the good news. "
Bai Liangyu felt nauseous when listening to Zhao Guixiu's wishful words, but he nodded in agreement with a faint smile on his face.
"Auntie, have you had breakfast? After breakfast, you can go back and take a nap. I have a group of palace servants to take care of me, so you don't have to worry about me too much."
"Yes, I used it. I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't told me. Now that Yu'er said that, I feel like I'm a little tired." Zhao Guixiu pressed the dark circles under her eyes with her fingers and yawned.
"Someone, take Madam Li to rest. Aunt, we can talk about it after you wake up."
Bai Liangyu watched the palace maid leading Zhao Guixiu to the bedroom to rest until she was out of sight. Then she covered her mouth and sneered.
"Let's go, Danzhu, let's go have dinner." She put her hand on Danzhu's hand and smiled.
After finishing breakfast, Bai Liangyu was supported by Danzhu and Jingfeng and took a slow walk in the courtyard of Nanxun Palace.
"Selected maid, you can drink the medicine now."
Bai Liangyu sat on the flying chair in Furong Pavilion and took the pregnancy-preserving medicine brought by the palace maid.
Looking at the dark medicine in her hand, she blew on it gently, as if she wanted to cool it down before drinking it.
"My lady, the medicine is not hot." The palace servant reminded.
Bai Liangyu looked up at the talkative palace servant and handed the medicine to Danzhu behind him.
"Is this your first time serving me medicine?"
"Yes, Xuan Shi, I am not a palace maid of Nanxun Palace, I am the chief pharmacist of the Imperial Food Bureau.
You have been taking the medicine to preserve the pregnancy, but there has been no improvement. Our Lord Shangshi has sent me to see if you have any bad habits while taking the medicine, such as drinking tea, eating cold fruits, etc.
Now that I see you, I understand a little bit. It is better to drink the pregnancy-preserving medicine while it is hot. You,"
"I like to drink cold medicine and can only take cold (good) medicine. It seems that this bowl of cold medicine is not a good medicine." Bai Liangyu suddenly joked.
"Choose a concubine, you," Si Yao was about to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Bai Liangyu again.
"Okay, I get it. I won't wait until the medicine is completely cold before drinking it. You can go back now."
Siyao hesitated several times before leaving.
When Danzhu saw her leave, she poured the medicine into the pool.
"Selected Concubine, do we still need to pretend to be weak? The eldest lady has endured until now and has not made a move against you. Will she have a chance to make a move against you? Concubine Yu doesn't seem to take us seriously either."
"It's always better to be cautious." Jing Feng took the fish food and put it on the stone table, and replied after hearing Danzhu's words.
Not long after Si Yao and his men left, a eunuch sneaked up behind Jing Feng and only came out when he saw that the others were gone.
"The selection of concubines has been completed. I see that the man has successfully filed a complaint. When I arrived, Eunuch Zhang had already brought people to guard the Moon Room Palace."
Bai Liangyu nodded and signaled with his eyes to Danzhu to hand the eunuch a bag of heavy gold coins.
The eunuch took the white handkerchief wrapped with broken gold in a flattering manner, opened it with shining eyes, tied it again, put it in his arms, and quietly slipped away along the wall.
"Zhang Deli's actions are quite fast."
Bai Liangyu was helped up by Danzhu and stood by the pond, casually throwing fish food around, a faint smile on her lips.
Her eyes passed through the scattered lotus flowers on the pond and the ripples caused by the silver fish's tail, without any focus.
"Danzhu, do you think my aunt will expose me?" Bai Liangyu lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes, like butterfly wings, cast a shadow in his eyes.
Originally, Bai Liangyu had no intention of letting her "aunt" get involved in her revenge against Li Xihua, and there was no need to bring those things into the Yueshi Palace through Zhao Guixiu.
Having been in the palace for so long, Bai Liangyu had already arranged to hide letters in the Yueshi Palace and bribed palace servants who could inform on her. She planned this after she learned that Li Xihua had made a move on her, three years before her second selection to enter the palace.
Before entering the palace, she had enough time to calculate and perfect her plan.
After entering the palace, she was able to use her wealth, her status as Shupin, which was superior to Li Xihua, and her reasons to implement her plan.
"I don't know, but whether Madam helps you or not, the young lady won't be able to prove her innocence."
"Originally, my aunt shouldn't have gotten involved in these things, but now, she has to send the daughter she raised to die. Will she be heartbroken?
And adults...”
As she spoke, Bai Liangyu loosened her hand, and the fish food in her hand, along with the bowl and food, fell into the water, causing a big splash.
