Just after the young steward expressed his gratitude, several palace maids brought in three plates of small cakes and placed them next to her.

"Your Highness, today's highlight is the basil osmanthus cake, lotus seed paste cake, and a bowl of spring ginger tea."

After hearing that Gao Dian was coming, Qian Ruolan nodded happily. Several palace maids immediately came to her with cakes and let her take a look at them one by one before placing them on the small round table next to her.

Qian Ruolan immediately stood up and walked to the side of the small round table, and spoke to the caring palace maid beside her.

"Your Highness, since the Prime Minister's wife has just reminded you, otherwise, this cake..."

Qian Ruolan smiled.

"What are you afraid of? If I, Qian Ruolan, am afraid of Qian Ruoyu, there is no need for me to stay in the palace any longer. I might as well find a deep mountain or forest to hide in, and hide from her forever!"

"Besides, didn't my mother just come to inform me? If Qian Ruoyu is really that quick, then he is even more powerful than the emperor! He just informed me to poison my cakes, Qian Ruoyu is really amazing!"

After hearing what she said, the palace maid beside her quickly moved aside and let her taste it alone.

Qian Ruolan casually picked up the pastry in front of her and took a bite, then closed her eyes and enjoyed the pastry in her mouth.

"Being a Crown Princess is really interesting. I can taste the cakes in the palace. These are not something that ordinary people can enjoy. Hahahaha, what can you, Qian Ruoyu, use to fight me?"

"You, Qian Ruoyu, are nothing more than an orphan and an abandoned child. You actually want to fight me. I want to kill you, but it's just as simple as wanting to crush an ant!"

After saying this, she took another bite of the pastry and started nibbling on it.

After finishing the pastries, Qian Ruolan walked to the bedroom next to her, ready to have a good rest in the afternoon.

After resting for an afternoon, I just woke up and the sun had not set yet.

The palace maid beside her immediately reminded her.

"Your Highness, the time is almost up. We should hurry and say goodnight to the Empress Dowager and the Queen."

After hearing this, Qian Ruolan nodded slightly, then slowly sat up from the bed. However, as soon as she sat up, she immediately felt a little itchy on her body.

Before she could react, the palace maid beside her immediately exclaimed and reminded her.

"ah!"

"Your Highness, you... have something growing on your face!"

When Qian Ruolan first heard this, she didn't notice anything and just smiled.

"Haha, maybe I've been eating too many cakes recently, so I got irritated. It shouldn't be a big deal. I'll just rub it with some powder and it will be gone."

"Why are you so surprised? I'm just angry. How can you stay by my side in this state?"

But the little palace maid immediately took out a bronze mirror and placed it in front of her, while speaking in horror.

"No, no... Your Highness, please take a look for yourself!"

She still didn't care. After slowly turning her head, she suddenly saw some pockmarks on her face. Qian Ruolan was immediately frightened and quickly threw away the bronze mirror in her hand.

Qian Ruolan asked fearfully.

"What...what are these? What on earth are these!?"

The little palace maid asked with some fear and confusion.

"Your Highness, could it be... could it be a plague?"

When Qian Ruolan suddenly heard these words, she was shocked and shook her head quickly.

"No!"

"This is impossible!"

After saying this, Qian Ruolan picked up the bronze mirror again and took a look. She still found that there were more pockmarks on her face than she had imagined, so she panicked.

She simply couldn't believe that something like the plague would happen to her. After all, she had hardly left her palace since that incident.

The only time he would leave was when saying good morning or good night, and he would come back immediately after leaving.

Because she knew very well that if she got the plague, she would become an unwelcome person in the palace, and might even be banished to the cold palace.

Even though Qian Ruolan was only the Crown Princess, she might still be banished to the cold palace. Moreover, the Crown Prince had been wanting to replace her for a while.

Therefore, Qian Ruolan was frightened all of a sudden, and asked the palace maid in front of her with some fear.

"You... tell me, is this a plague? Are these the symptoms? Please tell me quickly!"

The palace maid was also frightened after hearing these words, because she didn't want to tell the truth at all, for fear that the Crown Princess, who was already a little hysterical at this time, would become even more crazy.

That's why the palace maid said this hesitantly.

"This... this is not sure if it is a plague. Why don't we go to the Imperial Hospital and ask someone to come over... let the imperial doctors take a look. Maybe it will be more accurate!"

But after hearing these words, Qian Ruolan felt even more frightened. After all, she had never thought of going to such a level as to ask an imperial physician for help.

Therefore Qian Ruolan immediately shook her head.

"No, no, no... don't go find the doctor!"

"You need to go to the cold palace right now and take a good look at the symptoms of those who have the plague. If my symptoms are different from theirs, then it means I definitely don't have the plague. Go and take a look!"

"Wait! Also, go to the Imperial Hospital and ask what the symptoms of people who have the plague are. Let them tell you in detail, and then come back and tell me. Don't let the news leak out, or I'll hold you accountable!"

After hearing Qian Ruolan say this, the little palace maid immediately agreed and left quickly.

After about half an hour, the palace maid returned to Qian Ruolan and said with some concern.

"Your Highness, do you feel panic and palpitations? Do you even feel that your head is heavy now?"

After hearing these words, Qian Ruolan felt even more disappointed.

Because these were her feelings now, almost every point was right, which made Qian Ruolan speechless. After the palace maid beside her saw her like this, she gradually understood what was going on.

After all, Qian Ruolan's performance was so obvious, how could the palace maid not know, so she hurriedly spoke to Qian Ruolan.

"Your Highness... maybe these symptoms aren't that obvious. Otherwise, I'll go to the Imperial Hospital and get you some medicine. Maybe we can find a way to remedy the situation a little bit..."

Hearing these words, Qian Ruolan felt like she had found her life-saving straw, so she quickly nodded to the palace maid in front of her.

"Okay, okay, go now!"
