Chapter 80 Lan Ying is back

But this time, only Duan Yunyi entered the palace.

"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine." Duan Yunyi was much more familiar with the palace this time, so she was not as nervous as she was the first time. "Your Majesty, my mother went back to Yuncheng a few days ago and was unable to come."

"Are you in such a hurry? You've come all the way here, why don't you stay a little longer?" Concubine Chen Guifei was puzzled.

"Mother came to see me because..." Duan Yunyi hesitated as she spoke, "She heard some rumors and was worried, so she came to see me."

[Mother, have you heard? I heard some rumors. What do you think they are?]

[That must be the rumor about you and Guan Langshi! I guess this is why the Guangqin Marquisate chose such a family from Yunzhou!]

[Although the Guangqin Marquis Mansion is good, it is on the decline. Although people in the capital always like to cling to the rich and powerful, who would be willing to let their daughter marry a man who has someone else in his heart? ]

[But how can such a thing be kept secret? ]

It was the first time that Concubine Chen Guifei regretted being able to listen to Lu Xingwan's inner thoughts. This little girl always liked to tease others, and now she was actually teasing her.

"But is it because of the rumors about me and Guan Langshi in the past?" Concubine Chen Gui was frank about this matter.

Duan Yunyi was stunned. She said this unintentionally and thought she could just cover it up, but she didn't expect Concubine Chen Guifei to bring it up herself.

"Don't think too much, madam. When my mother met you this time, she also said that you are an open-minded person." Duan Yunyi lowered her head when she thought of this. "I have figured it out now. Why should I embarrass myself?"

Seeing her like this, Concubine Chen Gui said nothing more and just nodded.

"Princess Lan is well now. I would like to thank your mother. Since your mother is not coming, I will have someone send something to your car as a thank you gift." Concubine Chen Gui smiled and said, "I don't need to thank you for your great kindness, but I always..."

"You don't have to refuse. They are all things for your mother, and they are all useful to doctors."

Seeing that Concubine Chen had said so, Duan Yunyi no longer refused. She just thanked Concubine Chen for her kindness and then said, "Before my mother left, she said that Concubine Gui would definitely summon me to the palace again. She also left a message saying that after Concubine Lan recovered, she must go out every day."

Concubine Chen Guifei smiled and said, "Madam Wu is really confident in her medical skills. If there is a chance in the future, it would be great if we could pay her a visit."

Duan Yunyi saw Concubine Chen Gui smiling brilliantly, but she felt sad in her heart. She was afraid that she would not have the opportunity to travel around after marrying into the deep palace.

Everyone has forgotten that this woman was once a brave general and the most powerful woman in the world.

The two of them talked for a long time, and it was almost noon before Concubine Chen sent someone to escort Duan Yunyi out of the palace.

After noon, Concubine Chen Gui had just put the sleeping Lu Xingwan on the bed. She wanted to rest for a while, but she saw Jin Xin rushing in excitedly: "Your Majesty, Lan Ying is back. I thought you must be anxious to see her, so I came to report it as soon as possible."

"It's really fast," Concubine Chen Guifei said this before she realized that Lu Xingwan had already fallen asleep. She lowered her voice again, "Let's go talk outside."

But from behind I could hear Lu Xingwan's babyish humming voice.

[Mother, take me with you. Mother, I want to go too. I won’t sleep at night.]

Concubine Chen couldn't help but sigh, and asked Jinxin to pick up Lu Xingwan, muttering: "Our Wanwan just loves to join in the fun."

When I arrived at the side hall, I saw Lan Ying and Ju Ying standing in the hall, exhausted and dusty. "Miss, I thought you were worried about the Marquis, so Ju Ying and I came in without packing."

Concubine Chen Guifei didn't care. She asked them to sit down and added more tea. "You must have worked hard on the journey. Are you safe?"

"Everything went smoothly along the way." Concubine Chen's secret guards hid themselves well. No one except His Majesty should know about it. Therefore, no matter what they were investigating, it would be difficult to attract other people's attention.

Lan Ying didn't bother to exchange pleasantries and began to report on the situation in the Western Camp: "Don't worry, Miss. Everything is fine in the Western Camp now. After I informed Zhao Saiyuan of the death of the noble lady, I didn't expect him to get angry on the spot."

"Say..." Lan Ying said this, a little hesitant.

Juying didn't care about that. She took over the conversation and said, "Zhao Saiyuan is really an ungrateful person. He got angry at the Marquis right on the spot, saying that the young lady failed to protect the noble lady."

"The Marquis refused to let him go either. He slammed the table on the spot and said that Zhao Saiyuan didn't know what was good for him. He had insisted on bringing his daughter into the palace for his own fame and fortune, and now he was blaming the young lady for the trouble."

"Did father really say that?" Concubine Chen Guifei knew that her father had always taken good care of Zhao Saiyuan, so she naturally did not expect that he would say such harsh words to Zhao Saiyuan.

Lan Ying nodded: "Yes, the Marquis is really angry this time."

"I informed the Marquis of the conspiracy between Noble Fang and Noble Yun to frame the young lady. The Marquis was so angry that he kicked Zhao Saiyuan on the spot, but Zhao Saiyuan did not dare to say a word."

After Lan Ying finished speaking, Ju Ying quickly continued: "He also knows that he is at fault."

Meiying and Zhuying came in while the two were talking, and only then did they speak up, "Miss, could you please tell Zhao Saiyuan what Linpin said, so that he doesn't hate the wrong person?"

Concubine Chen Guifei shook her head: "No need, if we take the initiative to tell him, it will seem deliberate."

After saying this, he looked at Mei Ying again and said, "Zhao Saiyuan has high hopes for his daughter. He will definitely investigate this matter personally. You can just pass this information to him in secret."

Thinking of what Wanwan had said, he looked at Lanying worriedly, "Then how will father treat Zhao Saiyuan?"

"Don't worry, young lady. The Marquis is now very clear-headed and knows who can be trusted and who cannot. Since young lady has given him so many instructions, the Marquis will take it to heart. He has already asked secret guards to keep an eye on Zhao Saiyuan."

Concubine Chen Guifei's tense nerves finally relaxed and she chuckled.

Zhu Ying standing by seemed to suddenly remember something: "Didn't you say you brought a woman who is good at medicine? Where is she now?"

Lan Ying then looked at Concubine Chen Guifei again: "I'm worried that the young lady is tired tonight, so I asked her to wait outside first. If the young lady wants to meet tonight..."

"See, now that you're here, there's no need to make another trip." Concubine Chen Guifei said.

However, Lu Xingwan couldn't help but sigh.

[Mother looked so handsome when she was scheming just now. I think she must have been even more powerful when she was in the army!]

[I am so jealous. I want to learn martial arts well and go to the frontier with my mother to experience it when I grow up.]

Concubine Chen Guifei muttered in her heart, But Wanwan, mother doesn’t want you to go to the border. Mother wants you to live a peaceful and stable life in this capital.
