Chapter 81 Wanwan's Sister Qionghua
When the woman entered the side hall, before Concubine Chen Gui could say anything, Lu Xingwan on the side suddenly shouted.
"Ahhh..." But it was just the child's futile struggle, and she almost fell off the chair. Fortunately, Jinxin, who was standing by, was quick-witted and caught her.
[Sister Qionghua, it’s my sister Qionghua. Sister Qionghua, you can’t bear to leave me, so you come to find me? ]
[Wuwuwu, it must be true, Sister Qionghua loves me the most. ]
It was Concubine Chen Gui who was surprised. She had heard Wanwan mention this Sister Qionghua. She thought she was some relative or friend of hers in the world of immortal cultivation. Didn’t Wanwan say before that she liked the cakes made by Sister Qionghua?
Could it be that it really was her sister Qionghua?
Seeing Concubine Chen looking at her, Lu Xingwan was about to cry.
[Woo woo woo, mother, this is my sister Qionghua from the world of immortal cultivation. Sister Qionghua is the best to me except for my master.]
[Wuwuwu, mother doesn't know yet, I am a fairy from the world of immortal cultivation. ]
But the woman just looked at him calmly and said, "Greetings to the Royal Concubine."
[Wuwuwu, Sister Qionghua doesn't recognize me. Is it such a coincidence that there is someone who looks exactly like Sister Qionghua? ]
Concubine Chen was thinking about what Lu Xingwan said, and was anxious to ask for Wanwan: "What's your name?"
"To answer your Majesty's question, my name is Qionghua."
When these words were spoken, not only Lu Xingwan but also Concubine Chen Gui was shocked.
Could it be that it was really Wanwan’s friend in the immortal world who came to look for her?
Or is it possible that there really are people in this world who have the same name and surname as the people in the fairy world and look exactly like them?
Lu Xingwan was even more shocked when she heard this. She immediately widened her eyes and looked at the woman named Qiong Hua, and actually opened her arms to hug her.
[Mother, she must be my sister Qionghua. ]
"It seems that Wanwan likes you very much." Because of Lu Xingwan, Concubine Chen Guifei also has special feelings for Qiong Hua, so she looked at Qiong Hua tenderly, "Would you like to stay in my palace?"
Without waiting for Qiong Hua to reply, Mei Ying stepped forward and said, "Miss, the Marquis has investigated this woman's background, and her medical skills are also good. The Marquis said that you can use her without worry."
Although Concubine Chen Guifei was helpless about Mei Ying saying this at this time, she also knew that it would save a lot of trouble if she explained it in person.
"My Lord, you have already told me that I am willing to stay with the Empress." Since Qiong Hua had followed Mei Ying and the others all the way to the imperial palace, she must have thought of this matter long ago.
[That’s great, that’s great. Sister Qionghua will also stay with Wanwan. ]
As it was already late at night, Jinyu took Qionghua downstairs to arrange accommodation and they would discuss the matter later.
Because the eldest princess had already consulted the empress dowager and the Emperor of Great Chu some time ago, and now that Concubine Lan has recovered, the date was set early.
The next day was the day of the poetry meeting.
However, although it was called a poetry gathering, it was nothing more than inviting several young men and young ladies from different families.
So on this day, Concubine Chen did not bother to deal with Qiong Hua's affairs first, and she packed up early in the morning to take Wanwan to attend the poetry meeting.
Just when Concubine Chen Gui was packing up to leave, she saw Concubine Lan walk in with her maid.
Concubine Chen Gui hurried over to greet her: "Sister is in much better shape now, and looks much more energetic."
"Thank you so much for finding Doctor Wu for me." Concubine Lan was of course grateful to Concubine Chen Gui. If she hadn't told Concubine Wu that she was coming to Beijing, she would probably still be trapped in that bed.
"What a coincidence! Sister Lan is blessed with this." Concubine Chen pulled Concubine Lan's hand and moved closer to her. "It's just that I haven't reported your majesty that sister was poisoned. There have been many things going on in the palace recently. I thought it would be better if we investigate this quietly."
Concubine Lan also whispered, "Sister, this decision is of course a very good one."
After saying this, Fang seemed to suddenly remember something: "I suddenly remembered something and I want to tell you. Do you still remember the two maids who used to be with Concubine De?"
"The two maids who were called Bai Zhi and Bai Wei?" Concubine Chen Gui certainly remembered them. The look on Bai Zhi's face when she questioned her that day was still vivid in her mind. "They were two loyal servants."
"Yesterday, the Third Prince personally went to His Majesty and begged him, saying that he missed his mother and wanted to let the two maids return to Changqiu Palace to serve her."
"Oh?" Concubine Chen was not surprised. She was not surprised by anything the Third Prince did. "Jinchen is a filial son."
"Sister?" Since Concubine Lan brought up this matter, she must have felt that there were some problems with it, so she wanted to discuss it with Concubine Chen Gui. However, she did not expect Concubine Chen Gui to answer like this.
Before Jin Yu left a few days ago, she told me many things that happened in the past few days. She was just sick for a few days, and so many things happened.
Now that he is well, he should take good care of Concubine Chen.
Concubine Chen Gui also knew what Concubine Lan meant and patted her hands: "I know what you mean, sister. We will talk about this when we get back."
Only then did Concubine Lan understand what Concubine Chen Gui meant. There were many people around now, and this matter even involved the matter of usurping the throne, so it naturally had to be kept secret.
After Concubine Chen said this, she suddenly remembered Xiangyun, who was beside Concubine Fang, and asked, "Sister, do you know which palace Xiangyun, who was beside Concubine Fang, is serving?"
"Sister, are you curious about her?" Although Concubine Lan was surprised, she did not ask any more questions. "It was a coincidence that my maid mentioned this girl to me. She was taken away by Concubine Shu."
"Shupin?" Concubine Chen couldn't help but frown. She thought of the closeness between Concubine Shu and the incident in which Concubine Yun and Concubine Fang had teamed up to frame her. It seemed like there was a complicated connection between them, but she couldn't grasp it.
Seeing her like this, Concubine Lan asked, "What's wrong, sister?"
Concubine Chen shook her head and smiled bitterly.
He pulled Concubine Lan out.
Because Concubine Chen and Lu Xingwan would encounter accidents every time they left the palace in the past, this time the Emperor of Great Chu gave special instructions to protect Concubine Chen and her entourage. But he was still worried, so he sent Zhu Gushan, the deputy commander of the Yulin Army, to personally protect the few people.
Because she was concerned about Lu Xingwan's safety, Concubine Chen Guifei did not refuse.
The Qin family's garden was said to be in the center of the capital, but it was actually close to the outskirts of the capital. It took the carriage two incense sticks of time to arrive.
Concubine Chen and her entourage had not left the palace for a long time, so they set off early. When they left the palace, they saw a ray of morning sun rising slowly along the horizon in the distance, like a ray of sunlight piercing through the cracks in the darkness. Even though it was early morning, the light was still very dazzling.
It was certainly different from what Concubine Chen and the others usually saw in the small square world in the palace. It had a sense of grandeur.
