Chapter 884 The Woman in the Scroll

Lu Xingwan realized that the Empress Dowager must have misunderstood and thought that Sister Qionghua had the ability to predict the future, so she predicted that her father was seriously ill and asked her to bring medicine.

Now Sister Qionghua has become a deity in the eyes of the Imperial Grandmother, but she did not expose it. To her, it is much easier to let Sister Qionghua take the blame than to explain it herself.

In this case, let Sister Qionghua work harder!

Wanwan nodded hurriedly: "Grandmother, Wanwan would never lie."

"Wanwan ran into Empress Lan and Empress Wen on the way here. Now they have gone to Longsheng Palace. Would you like to go and see them, Grandmother?"

After hearing Wanwan's words, a gleam of light flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes. She was naturally looking forward to it, and she also wanted to see how the emperor was doing now.

But she knew very well in her heart that there must be a lot of people around the Emperor of Chu now. Just the concubines in his harem were enough to cause trouble.

So she decided not to join in the fun, and if she went there, she was afraid that it would only make them uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, she turned to look at the nanny beside her and said, "Go and see His Majesty. If His Majesty is okay, come back and report to me."

After saying this, she turned her gaze to Wanwan in front of her again.

Wanwan felt relieved when she saw that the Empress Dowager believed what she said. She then started to ask her grandmother about her fourth senior brother.

"Grandmother, has my fourth senior brother come to look for you?"

Hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately perked up. She sat up straight and stared at Wan Wan with sparkling eyes: "I have to say, your sister Qionghua is really amazing."

"I heard from your eldest sister that your sister Qionghua gave your second sister a medicine. After your second sister took the medicine, she became pregnant within two months."

After hearing what the Royal Grandmother said, Lu Xingwan raised her eyebrows slightly. She knew that this elder sister was still restrained when talking to the grandmother.

Probably after taking it for a few days, I got pregnant!

Perhaps the eldest sister was worried that if she made the matter sound too miraculous, she would scare the Empress Dowager.

"Of course, my sister Qionghua is amazing!"

Seeing Wanwan's proud face, the Queen Mother reached out her hand and touched her little face: "Your little face has been blown into this state by the wind. You must take good care of it in the next few days back in the palace."

Lu Xingwan chuckled but didn't say anything else.

She would like to stay in this palace for some time in peace, but looking at the current situation, time waits for no one. She has to return to the world of immortal cultivation as soon as possible to inform her master and others about the conspiracy of these evil cultivators.

But now that I've just returned, it wouldn't hurt to stay for a day or two.

After all, there are still many things that she needs to check.

Thinking of this, Lu Xingwan turned over from the couch and touched her own face with her little hand. This face used to be soft and fragile, but now it was indeed a bit rough.

Then, she looked at the Imperial Grandmother in front of her with her lively eyes, and her voice was also somewhat gentle: "Imperial Grandmother, what did Fourth Senior Brother say when he came? Did he say where he wanted to go when he left?"

The Empress Dowager paused, as if recalling something, and then slowly said, "After your fourth brother came, he naturally brought medicine to me."

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered something very important: "Yes, he asked me about the origin of the jade pendant I gave you."

"At that time, he asked anxiously. The nanny beside me searched for a long time but couldn't find the answer. So he said he had to go to Dingguo Marquis Mansion first."

"He said he would come back and ask me about the jade pendant."

"But I never saw him again after that."

"Your fourth brother is also weird. He clearly said he wanted to say goodbye to me, but he never came back."

Wan Wan pondered for a moment and said, "Grandmother, please don't blame Fourth Senior Brother. I'm afraid Fourth Senior Brother has run into trouble. It's precisely because I didn't meet him that I came to look for him."

"I think it was for this reason that he didn't have time to say goodbye to you."

Now Lu Xingwan was certain that the problem with Fourth Senior Brother was indeed in the Great Chu State.

She knew that since Fourth Senior Brother had come to help her find the origin of the jade pendant, he would definitely not give up halfway. However, he did not return to the palace to inquire about the matter, and she was afraid that he had met with an accident along the way.

Lu Xingwan thought about it carefully and thought that the time when Fourth Senior Brother got into trouble was about the same time when his father got into trouble. It seemed that a group of people were responsible.

Lu Xingwan frowned and said nothing more, but was thinking about his fourth senior brother.

The Empress Dowager was naturally worried about Shang Zhi. She had been with Wanwan and others for a long time. Apart from the fact that Wanwan was her blood relative, she naturally had deep feelings for the other people as well.

After hearing what Wanwan said, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.

The Queen Mother always felt that Wanwan's words were strange. How could a little girl like her go to find Shang Zhi?

A moment later, Nanny Su beside the Empress Dowager handed something that looked like a scroll to Lu Xingwan. Lu Xingwan glanced at it and then reached out to take it.

Lu Xingwan originally thought that it was a piece of paper with something written on it, but when he reached out to take it, he discovered that it was actually a scroll painting.

As the scroll unfolded, it showed the young Empress Dowager and another young woman. They should have been of similar age at the time.

The woman looked very cheerful, and her eyes were full of heroism.

Lu Xingwan looked up at the Empress Dowager in front of her with some doubt. Although she had guessed it in her heart, she still wanted to confirm it.

Seeing her like this, the Empress Dowager looked at the person in the scroll and said, "This is what your fourth brother came here to look for. If you see him, please give it to him on my behalf."

"This woman..."

Lu Xingwan had forgotten to ask Nuomituan about the woman's appearance before, but for some reason, when she saw this person, she seemed to have confirmed in her heart that this was the person Nuomituan was looking for.

"This woman is the leader of a nomadic tribe in the north. When she came to the capital, your royal grandfather was still in power. At that time, she seemed to have something to ask your royal grandfather.

"This woman has a cheerful personality and I get along very well with her."

After saying this, the Empress Dowager sighed, as if she had some regrets: "Come to think of it, she only stayed in the capital for a few days before leaving."

"I don't know why, but she seems to be in poor health since she entered the capital. I see her face getting paler day by day."

The Queen Mother was completely lost in her memories.
