As soon as Yu Yiluo left, Concubine Shu quickly sent Lu'er over.
"This is what the Concubine asked me to give you. She asked you to pass it on to Tian Lan."
After leaving the things behind, Lu'er turned around and left, going back to report to Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu sat listlessly on the chaise longue, supporting her head with one hand. When she heard footsteps, she raised her eyelids.
"Did you give the things to Lady Chen?"
Lu Er nodded and looked at Concubine Shu with a worried look on her face. "Concubine, why haven't you felt better after taking the Tianshan Snow Lotus Pills? Do you want me to call the imperial physician to take a look?"
Concubine Shu waved her hand, "No need."
"Could it be that the medicine Tian Lan gave me is fake?"
Otherwise, not only would the toffee disease not be cured, but the person would also seem even more listless.
"How is Miss Chen feeling?"
"Ah?" Lu'er was startled, not understanding what Concubine Shu meant by asking this. However, she recalled Concubine Chen's expression and said truthfully, "She looks quite happy. Concubine, if you are like this, don't worry about others."
He cares about Concubine Chen and goes to see Tian Lan. I wonder what the Concubine Dowager thinks.
"That's good. I'll take a break."
It seems that Concubine Chen has successfully obtained the jade pendant. Thinking of Yu Yiluo's keen observation skills, Concubine Shu felt a little worried. She wanted to call Lu'er and ask Concubine Chen to come over, but she felt that calling Concubine Chen frequently seemed inappropriate.
If this fails, the consequences will be disastrous. Concubine Chen should confirm the authenticity of the jade pendant.
Unfortunately, Concubine Shu was destined to be disappointed.
…
As dusk fell, the palace lanterns lit up one by one.
Outside, the wind rustled the branches. Concubine Chen grabbed a cloak and put it on. She checked that the jade pendant was still on her body and hurried out.
The damn old woman said that she must bring Tian Lan out tonight no matter what.
Concubine Chen went straight to Tian Lan's side hall. Before she reached the side hall, she saw a man standing next to a dead tree in the distance. Because the man was too far away, Concubine Chen could not see clearly who he was.
The violent heartbeat was particularly clear in the night. Lady Chen tightened her cloak and continued to move forward. When she passed the man, she lowered her head and quickened her pace.
Unexpectedly, the man called her in a hoarse voice.
"Where is Miss Chen going?"
Her steps froze, and Concubine Chen slowly turned around and looked up at the person in front of her. This person was the one next to Concubine Shu.
But wasn't this man castrated? Why did he come here to scare her in the middle of the night without resting?
"Aren't you a servant of Concubine Shu? I don't need to tell you where I'm going."
Lady Chen boldly sarcastically said this, then pretended to turn around and leave.
When Xiao Shize heard the word "slave", murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Did the Concubine ask you to rescue Tian Lan?"
With just one sentence, Lady Chen was able to stop again.
It seemed to be true. Xiao Shize sneered in his heart, but continued: "What conditions did the Concubine give you?"
"Aren't you the concubine's servant?" Concubine Chen clutched her cloak tightly. "Didn't the concubine tell you her plan?"
After standing for a long time, the pain in the wound made Xiao Shize sweat on his forehead, and he took a breath.
"Miss Chen should take good care of herself and not be sold out."
Seeing him stagger away, Concubine Chen sneered.
Dog bites dog?
She turned around and continued walking towards the side hall, but her steps were no longer as firm as before.
The cold wind made her mind clearer.
What good would it be for Concubine Shu to do this?
After all, judging from the results, he was the biggest beneficiary, and she was just manipulating things behind the scenes.
While he was thinking, he had already reached the door of the side hall.
This side hall was a bit remote and no one lived nearby. Only the side hall where Tian Lan was imprisoned had some firelight coming from inside.
Two lanterns hung at the door, fluttering in the wind, dimly shining on the faces of the two young eunuchs guarding the door.
The two noticed the arrival of Lady Chen and screamed, "Who is it?"
Concubine Chen walked up to the two men with a smile, "My two eunuchs, is it Tian Lan who is imprisoned here?"
Hearing the conversation outside, Tian Lan pulled out a chair, stood up and walked to the door.
Concubine Shu really sent someone to rescue her, but her plan was really unfair. She had to fight for her life on the front line, and also use her body to restrain the prince. Why?
The sound of conversation outside interrupted Tian Lan's thoughts.
"It's Tian Lan, yes. Who are you?"
Concubine Chen chuckled and took out the jade pendant. "I am Concubine Chen, and I am here to take Tian Lan out on the orders of the Emperor."
"But we haven't received any instructions or orders from the emperor."
One of the thin eunuchs said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by the person next to him.
"This jade pendant belongs to the emperor, why are you talking nonsense?"
After scolding him, another young eunuch explained to Concubine Chen with a flattering smile.
"Please forgive Miss Chen, he is a new transferee and does not know the emperor's jade pendant or the rules. I will release Miss Tian."
Concubine Chen nodded with satisfaction, thinking that the jade pendant was really useful, but she also had to thank Concubine Xian for giving birth to the little fool.
The door creaked open and Tian Lan had already sat back in her chair.
"You can go out now."
Seeing Tian Lan's puzzled expression, the young eunuch said sharply, "Concubine Chen is here to take you out. If you don't want to go out, then stay here."
Tian Lan was no fool. Upon hearing this, he looked at Lady Chen, exchanged glances with her, and walked out.
"Thank you, both fathers-in-law."
Concubine Chen nodded and walked away with Tian Lan. The eunuch who had just been beaten rubbed his head and said, "You hit me too hard. It hurts so much."
The eunuch who beat him smiled and said, "Eunuch Cao said that there will be a reward for good performance. If we don't really beat him and it is discovered, it will ruin the emperor's good deeds."
The two people who had already left hurriedly walked towards Concubine Chen's side hall.
For fear of attracting other people's attention, Concubine Chen took Tian Lan through a side door. When the two returned to Concubine Chen's residence, her heart was still pounding.
She raised her hand and patted her chest, then took off her cloak and lit the candle.
"I have rescued you," she said, and handed the porcelain bottle given to her by Concubine Shu to Tian Lan, "This is what Concubine Shu asked me to give you."
Looking at the porcelain bottle in front of her, Tian Lan narrowed her eyes and raised her hand to take it.
Concubine Shu still didn't believe her and wanted her to give the emperor the medicine herself.
She stroked the porcelain bottle in her hand, looked at Concubine Chen, and had an idea in her mind.
"I know everything the Toffee instructed, but I need to know what you need to do to avoid a collision between us, which would be bad for everyone."
Concubine Chen did not suspect anything and said directly: "The Concubine Dowager asked me to find a way to serve the Emperor in his bed and get pregnant with his child."
Tian Lan hid her other emotions in her eyes and nodded, "I will help you."
Tian Lan chose to conceal the fact that Concubine Shu asked her to seduce the prince.
Concubine Shu did this to undermine the emperor, get rid of the prince and use Concubine Chen's child as a puppet.
If that’s the case, then why can’t she be the one who has a romantic encounter with the emperor?
He took such a big risk to let her follow the prince. If the prince is deposed, she will have nothing.
