It rained heavily that night. The rain washed down on the eaves like a waterfall and fell to the ground, smashing all the bright flowers in the yard.
The hazy rain and fog made the original dark night even more inaccurate.
Maybe she was too tired or too painful, Mengying Lin opened her eyes half-unconscious and half-awake to see the light source outside the window, but unfortunately, there was only a confusion scene in the eye.
She had a child, which disappeared before she found him.
She didn't know when she started to cry miserably, but she was the only one in the firewood room. She cried loudly, but was eventually covered by the noise of the rain.
Night was too long for her.
Liancheng Mo! Liancheng Mo!
In a state of confusion, she just roared the name over and over again, the father of her child, the murderer who killed her child by himself!
There was a kind of hate, if it came to bone marrow, it became absolute!
It rained until the next morning.
Wang Mammy's husband came to visit Mengying Lin and prescribed two patches for the rude servant to take. Although he was not good at medicine, he managed cattle and horses in this mansion, so he understood a little medical skill.
Wang Mammy has told him everything. He was also an old man in the palace. He was also afraid of their criminal conspiracy was unmasked when he met such a big event. So when he left, he picked up a piece of wood and knocked Mengying Lin unconscious.
When Mengying Lin came to her senses again, it was three days later that she opened her eyes. Outside the window, there was a dazzling sunshine. Her clothes were dirty and disorderly. There was a pool of medicine stains on her chest, which should have been left when she was given medicine.
She wiped the dirt on her face, stood up and went to the window to see if there was anyone outside, but outside the firewood room was an empty yard without a shadow.
Because of the heavy rain of the past few days, the rare grass in the palace of Xuanwu had been destroyed a lot, so people in the palace of Xuanwu were very busy these days. In order to repair the damaged precious herbs, many outside gardeners had been specially invited.
Mengying Lin leaned against the window and slept for a while. At last, when the sun was about to go down, she heard footsteps. She quickly climbed up and looked out at the window. Sure enough, she saw several gardeners come in, seeming to repair the flowers and plants here.
"Little brother, little brother," Mengying Lin cleared her voice and rushed out the window to shout at several gardeners. The nearest gardener was only over twenty years old. The gardener heard the voice and was coming.
"Well, there's someone else here?" The gardener was shocked and approached doubtfully.
"Brother, can you do me a favor?" Mengying Lin knew that this person might not help her, but at least there was a glimmer of hope for her, wasn't it? People had to live a little hopefully.
The gardener hesitated for a moment, looked at the firewood room and looked at her in confusion. "You are the maid who was punished in the palace. We dare not provoke you even if you do something. You should not waste your energy and talk to me. If I are seen talking to you, maybe I will get the bad luck."
"Brother, just a word for me. Please, no one will find out." Mengying Lin was anxious to cry. A sense of isolation and helplessness came from her heart. In recent days, her heart has nearly collapsed.
The gardener shook his head and walked away quickly.
Mengying Lin's tears fell at the moment when the gardener turned around. She didn't blame the gardener. In this society, people were already very indifferent. For a stranger, who would like to go to the muddy water to make him stink?
She understood this truth, but the despair in her heart was still diffuse.
She was too weak to lean against the wall, collapsed down the wall and cried again. She was so weak that anyone could bully her and pinch her!
"Girl, who do you want to talk to? Tell me quickly, I'll take it for you. Suddenly, there appeared an old man with white mustache outside the window. The old man was also a gardener. He walked at the end of the crowd and looked at the previous scene.
Mengying Lin raised her head and was stunned. She immediately got up with both hands and feet. "Thank you. Thank you so much."
"Well, don't say thank you. There are many rules in this big family. It's hard for the maid to do it. Think of my daughter who was killed alive because she made a mistake in the big family. If I can save you with a word, I'll do it. It's not easy for a girl of any family." The old man sighed, as if he thought of his sadness, and his face was also sad.
Mengying Lin nodded. "Just a word, please help me bring to Du He who was steward to the front yard. You can help me ask him if the things what Mengying Lin told him to found has been found out. When he found everything, she started to make it."
The old man listened carefully, then nodded, "Okay, I'll take your words with me when I go out in a minute. Okay, I'm going first. After a while, if I'm found out that everybody's upset.
The old gardener quickly caught up with the gardener in front of him. Several people were busy in the yard for a while and then left the yard.
Mengying Lin had been standing by the window, watching the sunset on the horizon to the west, and finally the whole world was shrouded in a dark night.
The wind poured in through the cracks in the window, and the cold chill awakened her soul. She thought that she must stand at a height that the world looked up to, and then recover the humiliation she had suffered ten times and a hundred times today!
After dark, a carriage slowly entered the gate of the Palace of Xuanwu.
There were not many horse-drawn carriages in Fengqi because few people dare to publicize them so much, and the prince of Xuanwu was one of them.
The retainer put the wooden bench on the side of the carriage. The people in the carriage lifted the curtain and stepped on the wooden bench and got out of the carriage.
"Your Highness, you've got a tired travelling and you've got hot water ready for dinner after you take a bath." Du He, as a close fellow of Liancheng Mo, also had a small supervisor in the imperial palace.
"Ok." Liancheng Mo responded, took down the cloak and gave it to him, and then went inside. "These days, following the saint to the imperial mausoleum to worship ancestors, it was indeed a little tired, and then a little bit of snowy and fragrant plant from the Western Regions will be shining."
"Yes, your highness." The snowy and fragrant plant was the best of sandalwood. It had the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind. Not every big family could afford it.
Du He responded, thought about it, and went up several steps. "Yes, Your Highness, Miss Lin said that she could start making her small objects."
