Chapter 75 I didn't take her seriously

Xu Lanshan became even more confused.

The Queen and Nanny Yan, both master and servant, echoed each other. If she understood correctly, they wanted to know where she had hidden the medicine bottle. But why? Did the Queen want to check?

If they want to see it, let them see it. Otherwise, the Queen might not be at ease.

Xu Lanshan was just about to pretend to take out the porcelain bottle from her arms when she suddenly felt a chill in her heart. There was still the same number of pills in the porcelain bottle. Who knew if Aunt Yan remembered the number?

What if she checks?

An old nanny like this who can get to the position of the queen's confidant is the smartest of the smart. Who knows how capable she is?

Xu Lanshan doesn't dare to gamble.

"Tongtong, you know the pills the Queen gave me, right? Help me figure out how many I should take."

Without hesitation, the system smiled and said, "Dear, you should take five pills!"

Xu Lanshan said "Oh!" It seemed that she was really favored. After all, it had not been long since the Queen gave her the medicine, and she did not summon anyone to sleep with her every day.

"Tuntong is so awesome! From now on, I'll leave all these little things to you!"

"Don't worry, dear!"

The system smiled so brightly that it almost wanted to pat its chest. This little thing was a piece of cake for it.

Xu Lanshan controlled it with her mind, and after pouring out five pills, she reached into her bosom and took out the medicine bottle. "Reporting to the Queen, I kept this bottle well hidden when I was in Yulinglong Hall. I always carry it with me when I go out. Sometimes I let Yuchan carry it with me, because I'm afraid that there will be too many people in the palace and what if someone breaks in and sees it!"

Xu Lanshan's sharp eyesight allowed her to see clearly that when she said this, the Queen and Nanny Yan's eyes became unnatural for a moment.

Although it was brief and slight, she definitely caught it.

Xu Lanshan sneered in her heart, they were really worried!

The Queen smiled and said, "I see. Next time, don't carry it on you. Otherwise, wouldn't it be terrible if it falls out? Just hide it well from now on. You are the Emperor's favorite noblewoman. No one dares to mess around in Yulinglong Hall. There is no such lawlessness in this palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Lanshan obeyed the Queen's instructions readily and, half-jokingly, asked tentatively, "I really have taken this pill every time. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, why not ask Nanny Yan to check it out?"

It would be impossible for the Queen to really check after she had said so much.

Unexpectedly, Nanny Yan smiled and said, "Since Your Excellency Chen is so thoughtful, I will take a look and see how much is left so that I can prepare some for you."

The Queen smiled helplessly: "Mammy, you worry too much!"

Xu Lanshan hid her sarcasm. They were even more anxious about whether she would have a child than she was. Nanny Yan's words were simply a sign of her underestimation and a complete lack of self-regard. Therefore, she didn't need to worry about her feelings or whether she would offend them.

Would she dare to do that to Consort Lian, Consort Shu, or Consort Yu? Even if it was any other noble lady, she wouldn't dare either, right?

Xu Lanshan smiled and handed over the medicine bottle: "Madam, please."

Nanny Yan glanced at her and took it with a forced smile.

The Queen said, "Noble Lady Chen should pay more attention to this matter. The Emperor's favor will eventually wane. If Noble Lady Chen has an heir, everything will naturally be different. That will be stable and lasting. Noble Lady Chen has entered the palace for the first time, so she can see clearly. Concubine Yu was so favored in the past. Even Noble Lady Chen can't compare to her now, right? Moreover, the Emperor is very good to Concubine Yu, but what else does Noble Lady Chen have besides the Emperor's favor? There are too few heirs in this palace. I really hope that Noble Lady Chen can have this blessing! Noble Lady Chen also needs to work hard to make herself proud!"

"Yes, I understand the Empress's painstaking efforts! In this palace, only the Empress would treat me this way! The Empress is truly a role model for women in the world, a model for the nation, and I deeply admire her!"

The Queen was very pleased to hear this conversation, and a smile appeared on her face: "Noble Lady Chen is indeed a smart one, no wonder the Emperor values ​​her so highly."

Nanny Yan also smiled and returned the medicine bottle to Xu Lanshan.

Xu Lanshan stood up and said, "I will not disturb Her Majesty the Queen any longer. I will take my leave."

The queen had had enough of the knocks and nodded: "Go!"

As usual, Nanny Yan escorted her out, and when she left the Empress, she said, "The Empress loves and protects Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen, please don't let the Empress down. To put it bluntly, Concubine Chen has no family to rely on, and without the Empress's protection, who knows what will happen to her! Concubine Chen, please know what is right and wrong..."

He really is scolding me like a little palace maid!

It can be seen that in her heart, even if she became a noble, she was still a servant.

"Madam, honest advice may be unpleasant to the ear, but I will remember it." Honest advice is usually unpleasant to the ear.

"My dear lady, please keep this in mind."

"I dare not disappoint the Queen."

When Xu Lanshan returned to Yulinglong Hall and saw Yuxing reporting the gifts to her with a smug look on her face, she suddenly understood something.

Is it Yuxing?

Since she could spy on whether I took the medicine, it was not surprising that she searched for the bottle of pills when I was not around to see if I had taken them.

But the medicine bottle was kept in the space, so Yuxing certainly couldn't find it.

Yulinglong Hall is a very small place, so there is even less space to hide things.

Since Yuxing couldn't be found, the Queen and Nanny Yan would naturally be puzzled.

Look, today, he finally couldn't help but ask me indirectly!

After all, they look down on themselves from the bottom of their hearts and don't take themselves seriously at all, otherwise they wouldn't be so unscrupulous.

Yuxing......

Xu Lanshan curled the corners of her lips, but she didn't know that Yuxing also had her own thoughts! She wondered what the Empress and Nanny Yan would think if they knew that she wanted to seduce the Emperor to the throne?

Xu Lanshan naturally wouldn't tell on anyone.

And she wanted to help Yuxing instead.

Xu Lanshan ordered Yuxing and Yuchan to register all the gifts in a book and keep them away so that they could take them away when they returned to the palace.

The emperor also rewarded her with a box of jewellery, a box of fifty gold and silver cakes, a pair of multi-coloured hollow vases with Ganoderma lucidum and cloud patterns, a pair of white jade paperweights with lotus leaves and lotus roots, and a bonsai of coral and pearl plum blossoms.

Xu Lanshan spread out the box of jewellery and picked out two gold and kingfisher-emerald-decorated flower hairpins to give to the two of them respectively.

Yuchan wanted to decline, but seeing Yuxing happily accept it and thank her, she couldn't say anything else and thanked her, otherwise she would seem aloof and pretentious.

After awarding the golden hairpin, Xu Lanshan continued, "This palace has been promoted to a higher position. This is a happy event. You are all my close associates, so you should also be rewarded and share in the joy. But next, this palace will punish you. Yuxing, kneel down!"
