Chapter 824 [Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 14]
Fu Cha Lang Huan has been troubled by a problem recently, that is, she has never been able to know Hong Li's true thoughts and intentions. This makes her anxious and worried all day long. At this time, the thoughtful Jia Guiren found her and quietly reminded her: "Sister, I heard that the eunuch chief Wang Qin seems to have a preference for the palace maids around you."
Fu Cha Lang Huan was slightly startled and asked in confusion: "Oh? Who does he like?"
Concubine Jia smiled slightly and said softly, "It is said that it is Miss Su Lian. If you can seduce her with your beauty, I believe Wang Qinding will be loyal to you."
However, Fucha Langhuan had a different opinion. She knew that Su Lian was a steady and capable person, and she had been by her side for many years, so it was hard for her to let go.
So, Fu Cha Lang Huan shook his head and responded: "Su Lian has been with me for a long time and has always been considerate in doing things. I really can't bear to send her to someone else."
Seeing this, Concubine Jia hurriedly advised, "Sister, you are wrong. Although Su Lian is indeed good, she is getting older now and her appearance is no longer as delicate as it used to be. In my opinion, Lian Xin is younger and prettier."
While the two were discussing this matter, Wang Qin happened to be sent by Hongli to deliver mint and ginger powder to the second and third princes to prevent heatstroke. When he walked to the palace gate, he happened to meet Fu Cha Langhuan.
Upon seeing this, Wang Qin hurried forward and saluted, then lowered his voice and said to Fu Cha Langhuan: "Your Majesty, I have always wanted to serve you, but unfortunately I always have the will but not the strength." As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Lian Xin who was standing in the distance.
Fu Cha Lang Huan naturally understood what he meant, and felt a little embarrassed. But thinking that he could win over Wang Qin, a powerful figure in the palace, which might be of great benefit to him in the future, he gritted his teeth and agreed: "In this case, I will consider it."
After returning to the palace, Fu Cha Lang Huan thought about it and finally decided to mention the matter to Hong Li. When she tactfully said that Wang Qin was interested in Lian Xin, Hong Li frowned slightly and reminded her: "We need to ask Lian Xin's wishes first, and don't act rashly."
However, Fucha Langhuan disagreed. In her opinion, as Lianxin's master, Lianxin should make some sacrifices for her. Moreover, this was also for the benefit of the entire palace. Therefore, she insisted on her own opinion and said that there was no need to ask Lianxin's opinion.
When Lian Xin learned about that incident, her heart felt like it was hit hard by a heavy hammer, and endless sadness surged into her heart like a tide. Tears flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably, blurring her originally clear and beautiful eyes.
She staggered, as if she had lost her soul, and ran straight to Fu Cha Lang Huan's residence, hoping to get some help and comfort from her. However, what Lian Xin never expected was that Fu Cha Lang Huan would close the door and refuse to see her, and even just coldly sent a message to her, asking her to accept this cruel reality.
Lian Xin stood outside the door blankly, letting the wind mess up her hair, her heart filled with despair and helplessness. She didn't understand why fate was so unfair. Was she really just going to have to endure it silently? Was there no other way out of the predicament except death?
In extreme pain and confusion, Lian Xin left the place in a trance and came to the garden alone. At this time, the garden was sunny and the flowers were blooming, but these beautiful scenery could not comfort Lian Xin's broken heart at all.
Just as Lian Xin was immersed in her own thoughts, suddenly, a noisy sound came into her ears. It turned out that several young palace maids and eunuchs who were busy outside were excitedly talking about the various advantages of Chengqian Palace. The Concubine Zhao they talked about was not only kind to others, but also quite generous and kind, so that everyone in the palace racked their brains to find a way to enter Chengqian Palace to work.
Hearing this, Lian Xin's heart could not help but move. As if she saw a ray of light in the darkness, a bold idea gradually emerged in her mind: since Fu Cha Lang Huan was unwilling to help, why not ask the famous Concubine Zhao for help? Maybe the kind-hearted Concubine Zhao would be willing to lend a hand and help her escape from the suffering in front of her.
In front of the gate of Chengqian Palace, Lian Xin was lingering anxiously like an ant on a hot pot. She sometimes took a few steps forward, as if she wanted to step into the door, but quickly withdrew; sometimes she stopped, frowning, struggling in her heart, not knowing whether she should go in. After all, she knew that she was someone close to the queen, but now she was asking for help from Concubine Zhao, who was hostile to the queen. Would she believe her? This really made her feel uneasy.
At this moment, Ning Dong, who was about to return to the palace, happened to see Lian Xin hesitating at the door. She walked up to her and asked softly, "Miss Lian Xin, what are you doing here? Did the Queen send you to discuss something with my master?"
Facing Ningdong's question, Lianxin seemed to be more and more entangled. She opened her mouth, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked, and she didn't know how to answer. Ningdong was keenly aware of Lianxin's discomfort, so she stopped asking questions and gently took Lianxin's hand and led her directly into the palace.
As soon as she entered the palace, Ningdong bowed to Youyou who was sitting on the couch and said, "My master, Miss Lianxin came to see you. She must have something important to tell you." After that, she winked at the other palace maids. They understood and left one after another. In a blink of an eye, only Youyou and Lianxin were left in the palace.
Seeing this, Lian Xin did not dare to hesitate any longer. She fell to her knees with a plop, tears streaming down her face as she begged, "I beg Concubine Zhao to save me! I really don't want to marry that Wang Qin!"
Youyou raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Lianxin who was kneeling on the ground crying, and said in a cold tone: "Since you are the Queen's person, why don't you ask the Queen for help when you are in trouble, but come to me for help instead? Do you think I will easily help an enemy's subordinate?"
Hearing this, Lian Xin trembled all over, and kowtowed like pounding garlic, crying, "I know this is presumptuous, but I really have nowhere else to turn. As long as the Empress Zhao Guifei can help, I am willing to work like a cow or a horse for the Empress to repay her great kindness!"
"If I remember correctly, you should be an old servant who has served the Queen for many years." Youyou narrowed her eyes slightly, stared at the woman in front of her with a sharp gaze, and spoke slowly.
The woman called Lian Xin lowered her head quickly and replied softly, "That's right, Your Majesty. But... I am stupid and can't win the heart of Your Majesty like Su Lian."
Youyou raised the corner of her mouth slightly, looked at Lianxin with a smile, and said in a firm tone: "Very good, in this case, you must remember what I said today. Since I rescued you, from now on, you are my person! I have always been very strict with people who do not tolerate any sand in my eyes. If you dare to have second thoughts, humph, I don't need to tell you the consequences."
Lian Xin trembled when she heard this, and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed to express her gratitude: "Thank you for your great kindness, Master. I will swear to be loyal to you until death, and will never dare to have the slightest intention of betraying you."
Youyou nodded with satisfaction and waved her hand, saying, "Forget it, you can leave first. From now on, you must follow my orders and wait for my news."
"Yes, master." Lianxin bowed respectfully, then stood up and left quickly.
After Lian Xin left, Ning Dong walked into the house and asked with a worried look on his face, "Master, why did you help her? After all, she is the Queen's person. What if they secretly colluded and set a trap for you?"
Youyou shook her head gently and answered confidently, "Ningdong, your idea is too narrow. The reason why I saved Lianxin was, firstly, to prevent that dog slave Wang Qin from having ideas about you girls in the future; secondly, I really want to see how miserable our high and mighty Queen will be when she is deserted by her friends and relatives. By the way, Ningdong, please go and ask the Emperor to come here quickly, and tell him that I have something important to tell you."
Although Ningdong still had some doubts in his heart, he saw that his master had made up his mind, so he said no more. After bowing, he turned around and left in a hurry to carry out the task assigned by Youyou.
