Chapter 59: You don’t look well?
"What can my young lady say to your young master? Besides, this is on the street. If someone sees us, they will gossip about my young lady."
Gui'er didn't look at the servant in a good mood. After she finished speaking, she lowered the curtain of the carriage. The black-armored guard raised his whip as if to hit him. The servant was so scared that he quickly stepped back. The black-armored guard drove away in the carriage.
When Pei Qian saw the carriage leave, he hurried over to ask the servant what was going on. The servant repeated Gui'er's exact words. Pei Qian was so angry that he wanted to bite her. He thought that one day he would have to teach this damn girl a lesson.
Ever since learning that Jiang Lan was awarded a bracelet by the Queen, Pei Qian had his men closely monitor the Shangshu Mansion and make sure to ask her in person what she was really thinking and whether she really wanted to climb up the social ladder and become a princess.
Today he finally waited for Jiang Lan to go out. After the servant who was following her came to tell him the news, he found a teahouse near Yipintang and waited there. He was eager to know whether Jiang Lan came here to meet Qi Wuhan.
When the servant reported to him that the two people who brought Jiang Lan to Yipin Pavilion looked like guards from the mansion, Pei Qian subconsciously assumed that they were Qi Wuhan's men.
Every second he waited outside was a second of blind guessing, and his mood became more and more anxious, and he wanted to rush in and pull the person out.
I waited for a long time until the person came out, but in the end I didn't get to talk to him.
The evil fire that had accumulated in his heart shot straight to his head. He was about to rush in and settle the score with Qi Wuhan, but just as he reached the door, he saw Prince Rui coming down from upstairs with two guards. He immediately retracted his foot and hurried away with the servant, his heart once again doubting whether Jiang Lan had met Prince Rui...
After the carriage stopped outside the Shangshu Mansion, Qing'er and Gui'er reminded her, and Jiang Lan came back to her senses from her dazed state. Seeing that both of them were looking at her nervously and worriedly, she forced a smile and said, "I'm fine." The two of them felt a little more at ease.
After returning to the residence, Jiang Lan said she wanted to wash her face. Gui'er hurried to get a basin of water, and Qing'er prepared the soap for washing her face and the towel for wiping her face.
After washing her face, Jiang Lan felt her mind was much clearer. She asked Qing'er and Gui'er to leave and then she thought quietly by herself.
On this side, Qi Wuhan was still waiting in the private room of Yunxiu Tower. On the table was a dress with fine tailoring, exquisite embroidery and elegant colors, waiting for Jiang Lan to try it on.
Then the black-armored guard who was driving came over and reported the situation to Ling Feng first. Then Ling Feng went into the house and reported the situation to Qi Wuhan.
On the way, Prince Rui sent someone to invite Jiang Lan to Yipin Pavilion. It was unknown what he said to her. After Jiang Lan came out of the building, her face looked not very good, so she went back home first.
"You don't look well?" He singled out these words, his tone drawn out a bit, almost asking, sounding even more nonchalant than usual, but his peach blossom eyes suddenly turned cold and dark, and even the temperature in the room seemed to drop.
"Prince Rui wants to talk to someone, right? Then I'll go talk to him." He put down the teacup in his hand and stood up to leave. Ling Feng blocked his way with a bowed hand. "Prince Rui is a prince. Please think twice, my Lord."
The light in those peach blossom eyes darkened, like a knife that kills without shedding blood.
Ling Feng continued under pressure: "My Lord, you should ask the Second Young Lady first. If there is any misunderstanding, it is better to resolve it as soon as possible."
Thinking of Jiang Lan, Qi Wuhan slightly restrained the cold and dark look in his eyes.
…
After returning home, the black-armored guard first went to ask Qing'er and Gui'er about it, but they were both blocked outside the door and didn't know what was said inside.
In the afternoon, Yuanbao flew over again. Jiang Lan did not reach out to take the small bamboo tube in its mouth as usual. Yuanbao put the small bamboo tube in front of her. She grabbed it and threw it away. Yuanbao flew out again and picked up the small bamboo tube and put it in front of her again. She threw it away again. As soon as Yuanbao flew out, she closed the window.
After she calmed down a little, she felt a little regretful. It was not Yuanbao's fault, so why was she angry at it? She opened the window again and saw that Yuanbao had not left yet. He flew over again with the small bamboo tube in his mouth. This time she reached out to take it and gave Yuanbao a piece of cake to eat.
While Yuanbao was pecking at the pastries, she walked to the incense burner beside the table, opened the lid and threw something in.
After finishing the cake, Yuanbao tilted his head to look at her, as if wondering why she hadn't brought the small bamboo tube back to him. Jiang Lan patted his little head and said, "Little Yuanbao, can you stay and keep me company?"
Yuanbao seemed to understand what she said and flew to the branch of the wintersweet plant, preparing to stay there for a few days before going back.
Qi Wuhan waited outside the Shangshu Mansion until it was dark, but he didn't see the ingot flying out. Instead, he felt relieved. The fact that he was willing to keep the ingot showed that they were not at the point of never seeing each other again.
When it got darker at night, he sneaked into the mansion.
He had sneaked into the enemy camp unnoticed countless times before, so sneaking into a civil servant's residence was even easier for him.
Qing'er and Gui'er came to chat with the three little maids Lu'er, Cui'er and Xiaohong.
Jiang Lan was squatting alone under the pear tree in the yard, digging a hole, with a jewelry box next to her.
When she had almost finished digging, she opened the jewelry box, took out the two things inside, wrapped them in a handkerchief and placed them in the small hole. After covering the hole with soil, she tapped it twice with a small shovel and stepped on it twice with her feet. After standing silently under the tree for a while, she took the small shovel and jewelry box and went back to the house.
Little did she know that her every move was seen by those peach blossom eyes.
With the help of the light coming from the room, Qi Wuhan saw that the two things she took out of the jewelry box were a gold token and a hairpin, which he had given her before.
When she wanted to return the token to him, he jokingly said that if she didn't want it, she could just dig a hole and bury it.
Unexpectedly, my words came true.
It seems the problem is very serious.
What did that bastard King Rui say to his Xiaolan? He even wanted to bury the other person on the spot.
When the day came to pick up the medicinal food, Jiang Lan didn't ask anyone to pick it up. She had been eating it for such a long time, so it was no big deal to eat a little less.
During the initial period after returning from Sangcheng, medicinal food was taken every day. Zhang asked Qing'er about it. Qing'er said that Jiang Lan became a little picky after returning from Sangcheng. She complained that the rouge and powder she used before were not good enough, and she wanted to buy new rouge and powder as well as delicious snacks.
Zhang didn't pay much attention to such trivial matters.
After more than ten days, plus the time they started eating medicinal food in Sangcheng, it had been a month in total. Qi Wuhan asked Yuanbao to pass on a message, changing the medicinal food to once every three days, and also changed something else.
After taking it for a month, the medicinal food was changed to once every five days.
Today happened to be the last time for the medicinal meal. Jiang Lan didn't send anyone to get it, but the medicinal meal still appeared in her room and she didn't eat it.
The next day, when it was time to go to the medicine house, she asked Qing'er to tell Zhang and left early.
