"You all should go down as well." Lan An tried to get rid of the palace maid in a high-sounding manner: "This prince has something to say to my mother."
Several palace maids looked at each other and knelt down in front of Lan An.
They have all served Concubine Wu for many years. Their master is kind and never mistreats her servants, so they are naturally happy. Today, they also listened to the words of the imperial physician and the god of medicine, and knew that Concubine Wu might not have much time left.
For a moment, they didn't know whether they were more sad or worried about being exiled to another palace in the future.
In this palace, if you meet a good master like Concubine Wu, you are very lucky; if you meet one with a bad temper, you will be beaten and scolded at best, or even beaten to death at worst.
But what choice do they have? In this world, palace maids and eunuchs have no human rights.
Now, we can only hope that the Queen Dowager can live longer.
Lan An was a member of the royal family after all. He had lived in the palace for many years before the palace was built. Naturally, he knew what these palace maids were thinking. He had no other thoughts. These palace maids really took good care of his mother.
It's no big deal to arrange a nice place to go or give some money as a reward.
"All of you should get up." It was Concubine Wu who spoke first, still taking three breaths after each sentence, "When I am gone one day, you can leave the palace and get married."
This was the best possible ending for the palace maids. Several of them actually cried out loud. They knew that the Dowager Concubine was an extremely good master, and they expressed their loyalty one after another and hoped that the Dowager Concubine would recover soon.
"Go down." Concubine Wu was actually grateful to these palace maids for entertaining her and keeping her company.
After the palace maid left, Lan An and Chu Qiu Ze both walked quickly to Concubine Wu's side.
"Aunt." Chu Qiu Ze looked worried: "Why have you become so much thinner?" Aren't you pretending to be sick?
Lan An's expression was exactly the same as Chu Qiu Ze's. When he first came in, he found that his mother had lost a lot of weight. He was afraid that she had suffered a lot for pretending to be sick.
Concubine Wu smiled, "Nothing, I just didn't eat enough food a few days ago."
If you want to perform a play, you have to do it in its entirety.
It is impossible for a person who is terminally ill to have a good appetite and a rosy face every day!
Being a little thinner is not a big deal.
"Thank you for your hard work, mother." Lan An felt reluctant. Many times he wondered if this was the right approach. But looking at his mother's persistence and dedication, he knew that this was what his mother wanted.
"Nothing, nothing." Concubine Wu smiled again, "Thanks to the cosmetics Qiu Ze gave me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to be so relaxed."
Chu Qiu Ze carefully looked at Concubine Wu's complexion and immediately understood that the deep eye sockets and dark lower eyelids were the result of contouring, the pale face was the result of bare face cream, and even the lips were covered with a thin layer of foundation.
After putting on this makeup, she looked completely pale and indeed looked like she was seriously ill.
It seems that women can really learn how to use makeup without any instruction.
Lan An, a steely straight man, was wondering how his mother could look so haggard, and even worried whether she was really sick. He didn't realize that she was just putting on makeup.
Even the blue eucalyptus can't see it, let alone outsiders.
However, this is exactly the effect they want.
Dahan's cosmetics are not so delicate and cannot be so skin-friendly.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
Blue Eucalyptus: “???”
He gave up the struggle, as long as the result was good.
"But." Concubine Wu was a little hesitant, "What should Princess Anbei do?"
An Bei was raised under Lan An's name, and Concubine Wu naturally raised her as her own granddaughter. Now she wants to leave, and the child is still young. What should she do?
An Bei has no parents and all her clansmen are gone. In this palace where people are eaten without leaving any bones, it would be difficult for her, a little kid, to take a single step.
Even now, there are princes and grandchildren in the palace, and princesses and daughters are crowding out Anbei. What will we do if there is no one to protect us in the future?
Concubine Wu often wondered if she was too selfish and had treated Anbei unfairly.
"Don't worry, mother." Lan An comforted her, "Once mother is safe, I will inform my brother and bring An Bei to my house for Qiu Ze and I to raise him personally."
An Bei was Lan An's adopted daughter in name only, and no one could say anything wrong about her being brought to the palace.
Concubine Wu nodded, she felt most at ease keeping the child by her side.
"What about Anbei's condition? Should we ask the God of Medicine to take a look?" Concubine Wu was still worried.
"Not yet." Lan An replied.
And Anbei's condition is not serious at the moment. If he is taken good care of, there will be no problem.
Chu Qiuze has also asked his brother about An Bei's heart disease, and he is told that he needs surgery. He has to wait until An Bei is a little more sensible before bringing him to the modern world, in case An Bei is still young and accidentally lets the cat out of the bag.
Concubine Wu had finally let it go.
The two stayed in the palace for dinner. During the meal, Chu Qiu Ze kept serving food to Concubine Wu, fearing that Concubine Wu would overact and get sick from hunger.
The palace maids were all sent away, and Concubine Wu did not have any masochistic tendencies. She accepted all the dishes her daughter-in-law picked for her and ate them all to herself.
"Aunt, please chew two of these stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets." Chu Qiuze felt a little embarrassed. How could he do such a thing as feeding his mother-in-law?
Lan An couldn't help laughing, he had never seen his mother like this before. At this time, his mother was no longer a palace concubine, but just an ordinary woman from a commoner family.
In this way, Lan An no longer felt guilty.
Unless there are special circumstances, outsiders are not allowed to stay in the palace at night, and princes like Lan An, who have established their own palaces long ago, are no exception.
But there is a special situation today. Concubine Wu is critically ill, so Lan An stays in the palace openly.
Chu Qiuze went to the Imperial Hospital and rescued his brother who was being "besieged".
After returning home, Chu Tianze was still feeling frightened. These ancient doctors were so scary that they could ask any questions.
For example, Chu Tianze told them that intestinal intestinal inflammation is appendicitis. The damaged appendix should be removed, and then anti-inflammatory and sterilization should be carried out, and then the stitches can be removed when the time comes. If attention is paid to maintenance in the future, there will be no major problems.
Then the imperial doctors started to get excited, asking if anything that was dirty or bad in the heart could be removed.
Chu Tianze really wanted to reply: Honey, we suggest you just die!
If it weren't for his brother's sake, he really wanted to walk away in anger.
The level of medical care at that time was really worrying.
"Brother, thank you for your hard work." Chu Qiuze said coquettishly to his brother again, "I know you are doing this for my mission. You want to improve Dahan's medical level."
Chu Tianze poked his brother's forehead, helplessly and dotingly: "It's good that you know! When I'm free, I'll sort out the specific rules for those imperial doctors, so that they won't do anything wrong."
"Hehehe." Chu Qiuze jumped up and gave his brother a bear hug, "I knew that brother is the best brother in the world."
"You just know how to flatter me." Chu Tianze shook his head. "How are you going to deal with Lan An's mother?"
"You just know how to flatter me." Chu Tianze shook his head. "How are you going to deal with Lan An's mother?"
What they had discussed with Concubine Wu at the beginning was that Chu Qiu Ze would secretly bring Concubine Wu's "remains" to the fairyland, and then make other plans.
I didn’t tell Concubine Wu that this was not some fairyland, it was just another world.
So now they don’t know whether Concubine Wu is willing to stay in this world. If she is, she will definitely buy a house in the future.
He was well aware of the principle that things that are far away smell good, but things that are close stink. When his aunt and her sweetheart first came over, it was no problem for them to stay with him for a while. After all, in order for them to get familiar with this world, they needed someone to teach them.
But Chu Qiu Ze was not willing to live together for a long time, and he didn't even want to live with his parents and brother. After marrying Lan An, he definitely wanted a world of two.
I think Lan An must have very complicated feelings towards his mother's lover. After all, he is his stepfather, and it is not convenient for them to live together.
Chu Qiuze thought about it carefully. The building on his left belongs to his brother, and the one on his right belongs to his parents. "Can we buy another building next door to the one next door?"
It's close, so if anything happens we can get there in time.
Anyway, they don't need this little money. Even if my mother-in-law doesn't want to stay in this world in the end, the house is a fixed asset.
Chu Tianze's expression was a little strange. It wasn't that he didn't want to spend that much time, but he remembered the messages Lan An had sent him...
Forget it, let’s leave it at that for now!
Chu Qiuze felt that there was something strange about his brother, but no matter how he tried to probe, he couldn't get any information, so he gave up.
The next morning, before Chu Qiu Ze had time to look for Lan An, Chu Tian Ze showed up with a car key.
This is what Chu Qiuze said before, that he wanted to drive a car to Dahan. But most of their cars are sedans, sports cars and commercial vehicles, and Chu Qiuze wants an off-road vehicle, after all, Dahan has not yet been fully paved with cement roads.
Off-road vehicles are more convenient.
So Chu Tianze bought a G-Class for his brother these two days. "Take it. Be careful."
Although there are no traffic police there, you still have to obey the traffic rules and don't rush around recklessly to avoid hitting other people.
Chu Qiu Ze once again praised his brother a lot, then asked Xiao En to open a portal in the garage and drive the car directly through.
He didn't notice at all that the trunk of the G-Class was full of things.
What a coincidence.
When Chu Qiu Ze was driving over, he happened to meet Lan An on his way to meet the emperor.
Lan An had just received a message from his brother-in-law a minute ago, so he naturally found an empty place to wait for Chu Qiu Ze.
"Good morning, friend Lan!" Chu Qiuze lowered the car window and blew a gangster whistle.
The guards, eunuchs and maids in the palace saw their idol driving a speeding car yesterday, and today he just changed the car.
They all looked calm, then looked at each other for a few more times and went about their own business, as if they were used to it.
Anyway, he is a male god, a deity. It is normal for a deity to take out something inappropriate.
For servants like them, it is a blessing to be able to see a few times, and they dare not ask for more.
"Qiu Ze." Lan An was also very happy. Compared with the sedan he drove when he went shopping before, Lan An liked this car more.
It is both magnanimous and tough enough.
He walked around the car very naturally, opened the door, sat in the passenger seat, and fastened his seat belt as a matter of course.
"Let's go and see my brother."
Chu Qiu Ze understood that the matter of Concubine Wu must have reached the emperor's ears, and it was reasonable for the emperor to inquire about the matter.
The palace was originally paved with bluestone slabs, but now it has been changed to concrete pavement, allowing cars to drive very smoothly.
Considering Lan An's identity, and because the emperor's bedroom was still some distance away, they parked the car and walked over.
The emperor, the ruler of the world, had countless spies and secret guards in the palace, so he naturally knew about the scene of speeding into the palace yesterday.
Just as Lan An and Chu Qiu Ze arrived at the door, the secret guards inside reported that their idol had changed his car again today and was now carrying the Regent.
The old emperor remained expressionless, waved his hand, and asked the secret guards to leave. Then he asked the eunuch to summon Lan An and Chu Qiu Ze into the palace.
