Chapter 271 Xia Xuelian is sick
Her eyebrows were like distant ink, not as heroic as usual, but adding a touch of graceful charm.
Xia Liyun smiled slightly and said slowly: "Chen Yayuan, your maid seduced a simple-minded person just to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix. Since she is so scheming, why don't you help her?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Xia Liyun in shock. Chen Yayuan frowned and asked, "What are your intentions?"
Xia Liyun smiled calmly and continued, "I have no ill intentions. You and I have known each other since childhood. I am just giving you some advice."
After hearing Xia Liyun's explanation, Chen Yayuan fell silent.
They understood that their plan this time had completely failed. Not only did they fail to bring disgrace upon Xia Xuelian, but they also implicated their personal maid.
Madam Chen angrily slapped Xiaolian on the face. Madam Chen's personal maid stepped forward, grabbed Xiaolian from the ground, and dragged her outside.
Xiaolian knew that she was doomed to die. How could the master tolerate her, a slave, who had committed such a big mistake in the palace?
"Miss, save me, please, Miss, Miss..."
This scene made Chen Yayuan feel cold in her heart. She didn't have the heart to do it, but now she could only give up Xiaolian to save the Chen family.
"Xiao Lian, don't worry, I will take good care of your sister"
She looked at Xiaolian's helpless eyes, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart. Watching Xiaolian being taken away, Chen Yayuan could only sigh helplessly.
The nanny ordered a maid to report the situation to the queen. After hearing this, the queen couldn't help but cursed "waste" inwardly.
The maid beside the queen came over and whispered something in the nanny's ear. Then the nanny walked up to Madam Chen and said, "Madam Chen, you and Miss Chen, come with me to see the queen."
Mrs. Chen lowered her eyes and pulled Chen Yayuan to follow behind the nanny.
The nanny led Madam Chen and Chen Yayuan hurriedly to the Queen's bedroom. The entire palace was silent, with only a few peach trees swaying gently outside the window.
Mrs. Chen and Chen Yayuan knelt on the ground with terrified looks on their faces. The sweat on their foreheads seeped through the satin headscarves and dripped onto the jade floor with a crisp sound.
"I, your concubine, have brought my little daughter Chen Yayuan to pay homage to the Empress, and beg for grace." Madam Chen's voice trembled, with a hint of fear in it.
The queen sat upright on a brocade couch, her eyes deep and cold as she looked at the mother and daughter kneeling on the ground. She said nothing, but nodded slightly to signal them to explain what had happened.
Madam Chen trembled and said, "Your Highness, it was my poor management that led to the failure to supervise the servants in my household, which led to this misunderstanding."
Madam Chen's voice echoed in the palace, and Chen Yayuan also bowed her head and admitted her fault: "Your Majesty, it was my ignorance. I, Xiaolian, committed such an evil deed in the palace. I really didn't know it. This maid was too bold and offended Your Majesty. Please forgive me!"
The queen listened quietly, her eyes gradually softened, and she said calmly: "The Chen family's misbehavior is your fault, Chen Yayuan, although you were rude, since it was the servant's own idea, give her a beating. I will punish you by confining you to your house for a month, and you must reflect on it."
"Thank you very much, Queen, for your grace. I will obey your command." Chen Yayuan responded quickly. Upon seeing this, the nanny hurriedly supported Madam Chen and Chen Yayuan, thanked her in a hurry, and then took them out of the Queen's bedroom in a hurry.
After returning to the Chen Mansion, Mrs. Chen slowly took Chen Yayuan into the garden. The sunlight shone through the branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows, and everything seemed exceptionally peaceful.
"Yaer, do you know you are wrong?" Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Yayuan gently, with a hint of blame in her voice.
Chen Yayuan lowered her head and said softly, "Yes, mother, I know I was wrong. This lesson has taught me a lot of things, and I will be more sensible in the future."
Mrs. Chen smiled and stroked Chen Yayuan's hair: "You have to remember, if you want to do something, you must think it through. Otherwise, if you make a mistake, it will be a disaster beyond redemption!"
Chen Yayuan nodded, understanding.
Xiaolian was beaten half to death, and Mrs. Chen secretly had her sent to a farmer's house outside the city.
Until now, Chen Yayuan still didn't know what had happened. How did Xiaolian end up alone with the man in the back hall in dishevel?
Madam Chen guessed from the Queen's attitude that perhaps the Queen was very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law. This matter could not stand up to investigation at all, but the Queen easily believed the mother and daughter's words and did not pursue the matter.
Maybe my daughter’s mistake this time is not all bad, maybe there will be unexpected gains.
Mrs. Wang took Xia Xuelian and Wang Chuyue to sit in the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. At this time, Xia Xuelian finally realized the wickedness of human nature. This was the first time she knew about the conspiracy in the deep courtyard.
Xia Xuelian held Wang Chuyue's hand tightly along the way.
Mrs. Wang looked at the frightened Xia Xuelian and felt extremely guilty. This child had lived in the countryside since she was a child, and it was obvious how simple her living environment was.
It is really difficult for her to face such a complicated matter all of a sudden.
The next day after returning to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Xia Xuelian fell ill with a high fever that wouldn't go away.
Mrs. Wang stayed by her side, holding Xia Xuelian's hand. She could only hear Xia Xuelian muttering, "Mom, I miss you, Dad, don't go, don't go..."
Mrs. Wang felt more and more sad when she heard Xia Xuelian talking nonsense. She knew that the father and mother Xia Xuelian was talking about were the two people from Anyang County.
After the palace doctor examined her, he said it was due to excessive shock and wrote a prescription. Xiaoqing went to the pharmacy in the palace to get the medicine. Half an hour later, she fed the medicine to Xia Xuelian.
Mrs. Wang remembered that although Chen Yayuan sacrificed her own daughter, she could not thank Xia Liyun openly, so she asked Wang Chuyue to take a gift to thank Xia Liyun.
They told the outside world that they were just good friends, and no one could say anything.
Yaohua Palace
The Queen raised her head and looked at the Emperor beside her, and said softly: "This time, I think General Xia's daughter Xia Liyun is a good woman. Prefect Chen's daughter Yayuan is well-educated and well-mannered, and is also very good. Although her family background is a little lower, she is still a good match for the concubine."
The emperor nodded. He had some impression of Chen Yayuan and admired Xia Liyun. So the emperor quickly issued an order to make Xia Liyun and Chen Yayuan the concubines of the eldest prince Zhou Qian, and to enter the eldest prince's palace together on the wedding day.
When Xia Liyun learned the news, she really couldn't understand why she was made the eldest prince's concubine. She was extremely reluctant to marry into the royal family.
The official imperial edict had not yet been issued. General Xia comforted his daughter: "Fortunately, the imperial edict has not yet been issued. There is still a chance. Let's go to the palace to see the emperor now."
