Chapter 194: Transmitting Information

The two of them unanimously decided not to stay in the palace for long. Fortunately, the teaching nanny had already made arrangements before entering the palace.

Prime Minister Yin's original words were that his two granddaughters might miss home in the palace, so if there was anything they could send back home, he hoped that the nanny could be flexible. This was not an excessive request, and it would be a good favor for the Prime Minister.

That night, Yin Miaoyin found the teaching nanny with tears in her eyes, hoping that she could ask a palace maid to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The nanny was ready to go to sleep. When she learned that a concubine was coming to see her, she looked a little surprised. When she came out and saw that it was the young lady from the prime minister's mansion, her expression eased a little.

"I embroidered this purse myself. Inside is the amulet I got from the Baohua Palace in the palace. My mother is not in good health, and I am really worried about her. I hope that Madam can show my filial piety and ask someone to send the purse to my mother."

Yin Miaoyin held the purse in both hands and handed it to the nanny. Her eyes were full of tears, and she looked pitiful in the dim candlelight.

In addition, she had been respectful to the teaching nanny in Tumi Garden these days and had never offended anyone, so the nanny had more patience and love for her.

"Miss Yin's filial piety is touching. It's just a small thing like giving a purse. Nothing is impossible."

The nanny took the purse and knew that most of these ladies grew up with their parents and had never left home since they were young. They must have missed their families very much during the days they had been waiting for selection in the palace.

After comforting Yin Miaoyin with a few words, the nanny let her go back and have a good rest.

Yin Miaoyin thanked the nanny with a smile. Before leaving, she glanced at the purse in the nanny's hand and thought to herself: Done.

Using purses to deliver messages was a foolproof method that they had agreed upon with their families before entering the palace.

There would not be any words in the purse, only the color of the purse could tell the situation of Prime Minister Yin and his sister in the palace.

Before sending the purse out, the nanny checked it once to make sure there was only a lucky charm inside, and then ordered someone to make sure the purse was safely delivered to Madam Zhen in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Since the job had to be done, it had to be done well, and the Prime Minister's Mansion would remember her kindness in the future.

On this day, Prime Minister Yin returned home after handling official business. The servants said that Madam Zhen was waiting for him in the flower hall. Prime Minister Yin guessed that his two granddaughters must have encountered some problems in the palace.

Sure enough, when he sat down in the flower hall, the nanny took the purse from Zhen's hand and handed it to Prime Minister Yin to look at.

"Someone from the palace handed over this purse at noon today." Zhen tried her best to control her emotions, but her whole state was tense with nervousness. The palace was a place full of dangers, and she would not be at ease if something happened.

"I didn't expect the princes to be so impatient." Prime Minister Yin looked at the lake green purse in his hand with mixed feelings.

Before his granddaughter entered the palace, the Prime Minister had already taken into consideration that the two of them had the Prime Minister's Mansion behind them, so they would inevitably attract attention. But at least, they should wait until the palace selection to make a move. He did not expect that they would target Gu Siqing and the others so quickly.

"Don't lose your composure. I will take care of Miaoyin and Siqing's affairs. Their situations are complicated, but their lives will not be in danger. Don't worry." The prime minister looked at Mrs. Zhen, who was restless, and tried to comfort her.

A few days later, Yin Miaoyin received a purse from a palace maid, which was sent by Prime Minister Yin.

"The Prime Minister said that the medicine in the purse can make people feel uncomfortable, but it will not harm the body. You can take it without worry. When the time is right, the Prime Minister will make other arrangements. Please wait patiently, ladies."

In order not to attract attention, the palace servant finished the task assigned by the prime minister after delivering the message, lowered his head and left in a hurry.

Yin Miaoyin didn't dare to stay where she was. She went back and asked Gu Siqing to go out for a walk with her under the pretext of wanting to go out and relax.

The two walked to a secluded place, and after making sure that no one was around, Yin Miaoyin took out the purse from her arms: "Sister, please look."

Gu Siqing took the sachet and brought it to her nose and sniffed it. She could smell the scent of medicine. It seemed that her grandfather had already started making plans.

"Grandfather spent a lot of time and effort to send these medicines. It's not easy to make the people in the Imperial Hospital find no problems when they diagnose the pulse."

Gu Siqing tied the mouth of the purse and when she held it in her hand, it seemed to have no weight, but she felt it was heavy.

"Grandfather has thought it through and has considered everything for us. We took the medicine quietly and got sick without anyone noticing. The Imperial Hospital can't tell that we got sick after taking the medicine. Then we can leave the palace."

Yin Miaoyin just checked and found that the medicine given by her grandfather was enough for the two of them.

Gu Siqing understood what Yin Miaoyin meant, frowned and shook his head: "We both came from the Xiangfu at the same time, and we both got sick at the same time. It's too coincidental. It's easy to arouse suspicion. I'm afraid it will be more troublesome if people misunderstand it as an epidemic."

When Gu Siqing got the sachet, he had already come up with the most suitable idea in his mind.

Two people can only leave the palace one in front and one behind.

"I am a few years older than you, and I come from a business background. I am more cunning than you. You take the medicine first, and then I will take care of you. When you leave the palace first, I will pretend to be sick and I will be able to leave the palace safely. Don't worry."

Gu Siqing is both brave and resourceful, and her planning ability is indeed better than Yin Miaoyin's, she does not deny that.

Those who stay in the palace may have to face more problems. Yin Miaoyin is self-aware and she is not as smart as her sister.

"When I leave the palace, sister, you must protect yourself. Grandfather will definitely take you out safely." Although she knew that she was not suitable to be the last one to stay, Yin Miaoyin still felt worried about Gu Siqing being alone.

"I've experienced more than one or two more thrilling things in the past. You're worrying about me, but you're being a little too worried."

Gu Siqing smiled and pinched her face, telling her not to worry.

After discussing the plan, the two sisters returned to their residence hand in hand. Yin Miaoyin took the opportunity when the other two beauties took the pills.

The effect of the medicine sent by the Prime Minister was mild, and Yin Miaoyin's illness worsened gradually. On the third day, she showed obvious discomfort and fell ill. The teacher asked her to stay in the house and not to participate in the practice.

When the concubines entered the palace, they were not allowed to bring maids from outside the palace, so they were served by people from the palace and were not close to each other. So when Gu Siqing proposed to take care of her sister personally, the nanny immediately agreed.

With a kind person taking care of her, Yin Miaoyin might be able to recover faster. As the legitimate daughter of the Yin family and the darling of the prime minister's mansion, the nanny would not dare to offend the Yin family even if she had a lot of experience.

However, after a few days of recuperation, Yin Miaoyin's illness did not improve, so the nanny immediately went to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial physician to treat her.

"It's not a big deal that Miss Yin is weak and has contracted an illness. Perhaps it's because she's in the palace and can't see her family, and she's restless and suffering from mental illness, so her spirit is getting worse. I suggest that Miss Yin leave the palace to recuperate, otherwise it's hard to recover from the illness."
