Lu'er looked at the person in front of her and frowned slightly.
"The Toffee has gone to bed."
The young eunuch in front of him smiled ingratiatingly.
"Miss Lu'er, Tian Lan has something to ask the Concubine Dowager, so please be flexible."
Just as Lu'er was about to speak, Concubine Shu's voice rang out from inside the house.
"Let someone in."
In order to protect herself, Tian Lan asked someone to come to her, so she had to give him something worth exchanging. She wanted to know what other good things this person had.
"Toffee asked you to go in, so go in."
The young eunuch walked in with a bow and saluted to Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu looked at him and said calmly, "Who asked you to come see me?"
"Tian Lan said that she wanted to see you because she was grateful for your care for her before."
"It's late at night and the dew is heavy. If she wants to see me, then she can."
Lu Er said from the side: "Don't go, Concubine. You are not well yet."
Concubine Shu waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I took the Tianshan Snow Lotus Pills she gave me. It's okay to go see her."
…
Tian Lan was imprisoned in a side hall. In order to see Concubine Shu, she gave all the valuables on her body to the eunuch who was watching her.
I don’t know if the other party will do anything after taking the things.
At this moment, she was pacing back and forth in the side hall anxiously, her hands tightly clasped together, her face filled with anxiety.
She used to think that Concubine Shu was a good person, but now it seems ridiculous.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Concubine Shu couldn't have been unaware of what happened in the hall during the day, otherwise it wouldn't have been such a coincidence.
But she was very scheming and had thought of a way out in case of failure. Even though the matter seemed to be related to her, without any concrete evidence, the emperor would naturally not do anything to her today.
While I was thinking, I heard footsteps at the door.
The two people who were taking turns guarding Tian Lan at the door raised their hands to stop Concubine Shu.
"Toffee, you can't go in."
Concubine Shu stared at the two of them for a while. "Although Tian Lan has been imprisoned, the emperor has not yet convicted her. Why won't the emperor allow me to see her?"
The two looked at each other and hesitated for a moment before opening the door. "Don't stay too long, Toffee."
Concubine Shu left Lu'er outside and went into the house alone.
There was only one candle lit in the room, so it wasn't very bright.
Hearing the door closing, Tian Lan quickly walked up to Concubine Shu.
"The Toffee is finally here."
Concubine Shu walked to a round stool closer to her and sat down, looking up at Tian Lan opposite her.
"You want to see me, do you want me to ask the emperor to release you?"
Tian Lanluo sat down opposite her and said, "That's right. It's not so much asking the emperor to release me, but rather asking the concubine to release me."
The candlelight on the table flickered on their faces. Concubine Shu was silent for a moment and then laughed.
"Miss Tian, what you said is really interesting. What does your being locked up here have to do with me?"
"If it really didn't matter, you wouldn't come to see me."
Tian Lan said firmly, "In fact, Toffee didn't take the pills I gave you today, otherwise you wouldn't look so sick."
Concubine Shu still kept smiling, waiting for her to continue.
"The reason you didn't take the pill was because you wanted to remove it yourself. Unfortunately, you miscalculated. The people from the Divine Doctor Valley and Master Changyun showed up and disrupted your plan, destroying your carefully planned plan."
She also miscalculated and didn't expect the two of them to show up.
"If Miss Tian had been as smart as she is now, she wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess."
Concubine Shu neither admitted nor denied it, and said this ambiguous statement.
"Oh," Tian Lan laughed sarcastically, "No matter how smart I was before, I never thought that you would trick me into being inside the palace."
If this person hadn't deliberately leaked the information to her, how would she know about the harem?
Fortunately, she thought this man was a good person before, but now it seems that the plan of saving her people and the concubine is linked together, and it is inevitable that she will enter the palace.
After all, if the people in the Valley of Divine Doctors cannot cure a disease, it cannot be blamed on evil spirits.
"If you weren't so greedy and vain, would I have been able to scheme against you?"
Concubine Shu's words left Tian Lan speechless.
Yes, if I didn’t want to get the reward, I wouldn’t have entered the palace.
"Didn't the Toffee fail in all her calculations?"
Tian Lan looked at her and smiled.
"I know the Emperor won't let me go, but Concubine Dowager, you schemed against the little princess. Do you think the Emperor will let you go?"
She paused and continued, "Even someone as dim-witted as me can see through your calculations, Dowager Concubine. The Emperor is no fool."
Concubine Shu had no way to refute this. She naturally understood this and came to see Tian Lan.
It is said that a cornered dog will jump over the wall. The emperor did not touch her before because she had not touched his reverse scale. But after what happened today, the emperor would probably not care too much and would want to kill her.
Her death was not a pity, but how could she die when she had not yet avenged that man?
"So?" Concubine Shu looked out the window and said quietly, "Is there anything about you that's so worth my saving?"
"Toffee, it's getting late."
Someone outside knocked on the door and urged her. Concubine Shu said, "I understand," and waited for Tian Lan's answer.
Tian Lan took out a pill and handed it to Concubine Shu, lowering her voice and saying, "If Concubine Shu can feed this pill to the emperor, then both of us will be safe."
Concubine Shu looked at the black pill in her hand with some doubt.
"You said this pill has this effect, how do you verify it?"
"Now that the knife is hanging on my neck, do you think I still have the heart to joke with you?"
Feeling that this made some sense, Concubine Shu put away the pills and stood up.
"I heard that Master Changyun and Divine Doctor Qian will stay in the palace for two days. You are safe for the time being. But your medicine must have come from the Divine Doctor Valley. Now is not a good time to take action."
The urging voice outside sounded again, and Tian Lan asked anxiously.
"What does the concubine have to say?"
Concubine Shu lowered her voice and whispered a few words in her ear, "I'm leaving first."
Tian Lan recalled what Concubine Shu had just said, lowered her eyes, and clenched her hands until her knuckles turned white.
As soon as Concubine Shu left, the secret guard who was monitoring the two of them went to tell the emperor about their meeting.
The Emperor, dressed in bright yellow nightgown, sat on the dragon bed and looked at the people on the ground. "Did you hear what they said?"
The secret guard shook his head. "The last words they said were whispered, and they covered their lips with their hands. I couldn't read their lips."
The emperor nodded and said, "Keep watching. Report to me if there's anything unusual."
…
The next day, Yu Yiluo woke up, had breakfast, and was taken to Qingxin Palace by the emperor.
She rubbed her eyes, yawned and muttered to herself.
【Where are you taking me, Daddy?】
[Oh right, that damn old woman should have gone to see Tian Lan last night. How could I have forgotten about this?]
"Luo'er, Daddy will take you to see Master Changyun."
The emperor looked at her misty eyes and chuckled, "Daddy didn't even ask me to take you to the morning court, so why are you so sleepy?"
