Chapter 79 Concubine Lan Gets Better

Lu Xingwan didn't care at all. Seeing that no one was helping her, she used her little hands to support herself and sat up.

[Aren't the Dragon Shadow Guards the most secretive guards around Father? How could you let Mother see them like this? Does Father trust Mother so much?]

[Oh my, he looks pretty good! He fits the image of the Dragon Shadow Guard described in the storybook. ]

Listening to Lu Xingwan's inner voice, the Great Chu Emperor couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "I just want to show you today that I value your mother. I just haven't been to Qingyun Palace these days because I've been too busy."

The Great Chu Emperor looked at Ying Yi sternly and said, "Go to Qingyun Palace and bring the young maid that Concubine Chen Gui is holding here for me to examine and investigate."

"Yes." Ying Yi received the order and without saying much, he went out and headed for Qingyun Palace.

When Concubine Chen Gui returned to Qingyun Palace, Ying had already taken the magnolia away.

"Miss," seeing Concubine Chen coming back, Mei Ying stepped forward, holding a letter in her hand and handed it to her, "There's a letter from Lan Ying."

"So fast?" Concubine Chen was naturally surprised.

He hurriedly took the letter, opened it, and quickly scanned it.

The people on the side were staring at Concubine Chen Gui motionlessly, and even Lu Xingwan looked at her mother without saying a word.

After reading the letter, Concubine Chen looked up and saw that everyone was looking at her. She couldn't help but smile and handed the letter to Mei Ying.

Turning around, he sat on the couch beside him. "There's nothing much in the letter. Lan Ying just said that my father has found a woman who knows medicine and will return to Beijing together. As for other things, we'll talk about it when I get back."

Jin Xin couldn't help but speak up: "Someone who knows medicine? That's great. I see that we have been very passive in the palace these days. If we really have this person, it will be an extra help."

Mei Ying put the letter away after reading it: "I think they are safe. If they left with the letter, they will be back soon."

Then he turned to look at Jinxin: "With so many things going on, we should be careful about the identity of this woman. However, since the Marquis sent her here, he must have checked it out."

Concubine Chen Gui nodded: "Okay."

Mei Ying took another step forward and said, "Miss, I checked what Concubine Lin said. It is indeed as Concubine Lin said. Your Excellency's first child was indeed born prematurely. Unfortunately, the child was suffocated to death during delivery."

Hearing this, Lu Xingwan suddenly couldn't help it.

[It must be the work of that evil woman, Concubine De. Didn't my mother almost get killed when she gave birth to me? Concubine De bribed the midwife through Concubine Rou, and she wanted to suffocate me to death in my mother's belly.]

[This bad woman is full of bad ideas, but there is nothing new about them. After so many years, she still uses the same tricks. ]

Mei Ying saw that Concubine Chen did not say anything, so she continued, "Other matters are not important, but there is one thing that I think I should report to you. During the days when Concubine Yun and Concubine Fang jointly framed you, Concubine Yun hardly left Zhuhua Palace and would go to Concubine Shu's palace every day."

Having said this, Concubine Chen raised her head and looked at Mei Ying.

Seeing Concubine Chen's puzzled expression, Mei Ying said, "I guess that incident is related to Concubine Shu."

Concubine Chen was not surprised. Concubine Shu and Concubine Yun had been in cahoots with each other in the past. It made sense that the two of them would come together to harm her.

After thinking for a long time, Concubine Chen finally sighed and said, "Go check it out. Check Shupin. My sister's affairs have been going on for a long time. We should pay more attention to them."

After saying that, he looked at Meiying and said, "You've been busy these past few days, and you must be tired. When Lanying and Juying come back, it will be good to have them help you."

"This is much easier than on the battlefield before," Mei Ying couldn't help but smile, "It's good to have something to do now."

That night, it was already late at night, but the prince came to Qingyun Palace.

Concubine Chen Guifei had just coaxed Lu Xing to sleep late, and was now sitting on the couch thinking about the past few days, when Jinyu tiptoed in: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here."

Although Concubine Chen was stunned for a moment, she quickly asked Jinyu to invite the prince in.

"I'm sorry to have caused trouble to your aunt today." Since Lu Xingwan had fallen asleep, Concubine Chen met the prince in the side hall.

"What are you talking about? In this palace, who else can I protect if I don't protect you?" Concubine Chen pretended to be angry and said, "But you must keep a few more people around you."

"Today Chu Yan told me that he would transfer four of the secret guards his father left for him to you." Seeing that the prince was about to refuse, Concubine Chen would not give him the chance. "Now is a time of trouble. You don't have to refuse. Tomorrow the four will come to the palace. You can arrange them to stay outside. You still have to keep your own people around you."

"Jinchen is eyeing the position of Crown Prince now, so you must be careful in everything you do."

When the Crown Prince heard Concubine Chen Guifei say this, he stopped refusing and said, "Then I would like to thank my aunt and Chu Yan."

"Zhongping has already told me what happened. I was indeed careless today. I never thought that such a thing would happen in my own palace."

Concubine Chen Gui said seriously: "Not only that, the problem is that we can't find the person behind this little palace maid."

"Including Jinchen, there must be someone behind him directing him, but there is no trace at all. This is the most terrifying thing."

"Jinchen used to compete with you openly, but now he is holding back, which is more dangerous."

"I understand." The prince nodded, "I will be more careful in the future."

"I came here today for other things. Jin Yu and Chu Yan will leave tomorrow. I always feel uneasy, so I came to Qingyun Palace."

Concubine Chen Gui chuckled, "You are just too concerned. There are indeed many things going on right now, but the two of them going out has already been approved by His Majesty, and it cannot be changed. Now I can only remind them to be careful, there is no other way."

"You have to take good care of yourself in the palace. If something goes wrong here, wouldn't it be in vain for the two of them to stand up for you?"

The two talked for a long time before the prince left Qingyun Palace.

On the second day, the Second Prince and Pei Chuyan set out early. Concubine Chen Gui stayed with her every day out of concern for Concubine Lan's health. It seemed that Concubine Lan was getting better day by day.

Concubine Chen was very happy, so she asked Jinyu to go to the Guangqin Marquis Mansion and specially invite Duan Yunyi and her mother Wu to enter the palace.

Guan Langshi was confused for a moment. Seeing his wife dressing up, he asked tentatively, "Madam, are you going to the palace?"

Duan Yunyi said indifferently: "Yeah."

Ever since that meeting with Concubine Chen, Duan Yunyi felt that she was too stingy in the past, and she was always worried about the relationship between Guan Langshi and Concubine Chen.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Chen Gui did not care about Guan Langshi at all, but her husband, pretended to be affectionate.

Now I don't like to pay attention to him much.

However, after all this, Guan Langshi became enthusiastic.
