The emperor glanced at him and said, "Okay, I understand."
Eunuch Cao was still worried, "You said you knew this this morning, but in your excitement, you just grabbed something valuable."
He had already placed it in front of the emperor, but the emperor refused to take it.
Fortunately, only one of them was hit and his face turned pale with fright.
"I'll just take what's in front of me this time, okay?"
The emperor impatiently asked him to leave, "They might be frightened and probably won't come."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle voice sounded outside.
"Eunuch Cao, we are here to attend to the emperor's illness."
Eunuch Cao hurried to the door, put on a sad expression on his face and opened the door.
"I will go and inform the Emperor right away. Your Majesties, please wait."
The two looked at each other and their expressions changed.
Shouldn't Eunuch Cao have told them that the Emperor wouldn't see anyone and sent them back? Why did he make them wait?
Besides, they opened the door. Were they worried that the emperor wouldn't be able to hit them if the door was closed?
While he was thinking, he heard the sound of conversation in the hall.
"Your Majesty, there is..."
"Go away, don't bother me."
Seeing that the emperor was about to take other porcelains, Eunuch Cao hurriedly handed the least valuable one to the emperor, and the emperor took the porcelain and threw it towards the door.
"Get out, all of you, get out, you too."
The two people at the door didn't dare to breathe. They stood by the door with pale faces and lowered heads. They shuddered as they looked at the porcelain pieces that broke from the threshold and fell to their feet.
Eunuch Cao glanced outside and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will leave right away. I will leave right away. I will leave Tian Lan to serve you."
As he said this, he bowed and walked out of Qingxin Hall, closing the door behind him.
The night wind was rustling, and the lanterns above their heads were swaying. The two people at the door wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.
Hearing the door close, the two looked up at Eunuch Cao, "Eunuch Cao, how is the emperor?"
"I'm sorry to have scared the two ladies. The emperor is fine. You don't have to worry. Please go back."
"Okay, then Eunuch Cao, take good care of the emperor."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief after they walked away.
"Eunuch Cao said the emperor was fine, but I think his condition is getting worse."
After making sure the two had gone far away, Eunuch Cao turned and entered the Qingxin Palace. While picking up the debris, he said, "Your Majesty, if it weren't for me, you would have smashed the more valuable vase."
The emperor picked up the vase he had just wanted to smash and said, "You performed well just now. I will give this to you as a reward."
Seeing Eunuch Cao stunned, the emperor raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why, you don't want it?"
Eunuch Cao quickly shook his head.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I don't know when your illness will be cured, so you should keep it and continue to smash it."
The emperor put down the vase in his hand, straightened his clothes and sat down.
"Tomorrow, Tian Lan can go see Concubine Shu. I'll give you this vase as a reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Cao recalled the time Imperial Physician Lin had come to see him a few days ago and said, "Today, Concubine Shu fainted. Imperial Physician Lin went to see her and discovered that she had not taken the Tianshan Snow Lotus Pills."
"No?"
The emperor curled his lips. It was impossible for Tian Lan to fool Concubine Shu with a fake Tianshan Snow Lotus, so there was only one possibility, that it was really taken away by Luo'er.
"I understand. Go down and rest."
…
The next day, because of the medicine she took, Concubine Shu had a rare good sleep, but her twitching eyelids made her feel extremely uneasy.
She couldn't wait any longer. It had been two days. She had to see Tian Lan to confirm the emperor's condition so that she could implement the next plan.
After having breakfast absentmindedly, Concubine Shu called Lu'er.
"Go call Tian Lan over, I'll ask her how the emperor is doing."
Lu'er took the order and went to Qingxin Palace.
Before dawn, Tian Lan was called to Qingxin Palace by Eunuch Cao, and was now standing there trembling with fear.
"You'll know what to do later, right?"
Eunuch Cao looked at Tian Lan and said, "Don't be so timid. You won't be able to fool Concubine Shu like that."
"yes."
Tian Lan pinched her cuffs to ease her tension.
"Show the courage you had when you wanted to drug me," the emperor said without looking up.
At this time, a voice was heard outside.
"Eunuch Cao, Miss Lu'er is here on behalf of Concubine Shu to inquire about the emperor's condition."
Eunuch Cao glanced at Tian Lan, took her to the door, opened it and walked out.
"The Concubine Dowager really cares about the Emperor," Tian Lan said beside Eunuch Cao, "I've been taking care of the Emperor these past few days. If you have any questions, please ask me."
Then he turned to Eunuch Cao and said, "Take good care of the emperor. I will be back soon."
Lu'er's eyes moved back and forth between Tian Lan and Eunuch Cao, thinking that Tian Lan really showed her arrogance due to being spoiled to the fullest.
Eunuch Cao was also so respectful to her.
But this is not surprising. Eunuch Cao is a man close to the emperor. He naturally respects whoever the emperor favors. I don’t know what kind of magic potion Tian Lan gave to the emperor that made him unable to leave her.
Along the way, Lu'er's eyes drifted towards Tian Lan from time to time, but after looking for a long time, she couldn't see what was wrong with Tian Lan that was worthy of the emperor's favor.
Her appearance and figure are not as good as those of other concubines in the palace.
Tian Lan was no longer so nervous after leaving Qingxin Palace. Seeing Lu'er looking at her from time to time, she couldn't help but ask, "Is there something on my face? You keep looking at me."
Lu Er turned her face aside and said, "What a foxy girl! She even gave the Concubine a fake Snow Lotus Pill."
Fake Snow Lotus Pill? Tian Lan felt that she was wronged. She endured the pain and gave her only Tianshan Snow Lotus Pill to Concubine Shu, but the other party actually bit her back.
It seems that this person didn't want her to leave the palace alive from the beginning. First, he didn't tell her that the emperor was always accompanied by secret guards, and now he wants to use this excuse to frame her.
She was so blind at first that she thought this man was a good person.
"We're here, let's go in."
Seeing that she didn't refute, Lu'er thought she admitted it.
Tian Lan didn't want to say meaningless things, and there was no need to explain to a dying person.
She pushed the door open and walked in. The room was faintly filled with the smell of medicine.
"My Lady, what do you want me to do?"
Concubine Shu was half leaning on the couch with a cold attitude.
"Miss Tian still calls herself a commoner. I'm really not used to it."
Tian Lan knew that she was blaming herself for changing her plan, so she spoke calmly.
"At that time, Concubine Chen had a stomachache, and I had no choice but to help her. Besides, the medicine didn't work immediately. If I weren't by the Emperor's side, does the Concubine Dowager think that fool Concubine Chen could really do a better job than me?"
Concubine Shu did not deny this, but Concubine Chen really could not do that.
"I know the Concubine is unhappy that I changed the plan." Seeing that she didn't say anything, Tian Lan continued, "I am just an orphan, helpless. Do you think I am easier to control than Concubine Chen?"
Her straightforwardness actually made Concubine Shu stunned.
Tian Lan is indeed smarter than Lady Chen, but she has no backing and no relatives, which is indeed a good thing.
After all, she didn't have anyone available, and when Concubine Chen gained power, her mother's family also gained power. It seemed that she would have to deal with more people by then.
