Feeling a little embarrassed for a moment, Yun Qianmeng immediately covered the four-leaf clover with her hand without thinking, refusing to let Chu Feiyang see her poor needlework!
"Ouch..." But she forgot that the tiny embroidery needle was inserted into the brocade, and accidentally pierced the tip of her right index finger. The instant pain made Yun Qianmeng cry out softly, and her delicate eyebrows suddenly frowned slightly!
"How careless!" Chu Feiyang reprimanded Yun Qianmeng in a low voice for her rare recklessness. At the same time, he held her right hand, watched a bright red blood bead emerge from the pale pink fingertip, and put it into his mouth without thinking!
For a moment, the room was extremely quiet. Yun Qianmeng's face flushed as she watched her fingers being held in Chu Feiyang's mouth. At this time, Chu Feiyang lowered his eyebrows, and his whole attention was focused on his hand, as if no matter how big the matter was, it was not as important as her hand. This made Yun Qianmeng feel a little strange. She took out her fingers without saying anything, then clenched her right fist and hid it under her sleeve. She turned to look out the window with an embarrassed expression. Seeing that the night was hazy and a ray of cold moonlight could be seen, the restlessness in her heart gradually subsided. However, the heat on her jade-like face still did not fade, which made her secretly annoyed and blame herself for her carelessness just now!
"Alas!" At this moment, Chu Feiyang sighed slightly, and his black eyes flashed with light as he stared at Yun Qianmeng with a concentration he had never had before, as if he wanted to engrave Yun Qianmeng's appearance into his mind!
Yun Qianmeng pretended not to notice his expression and stuffed the embroidery in her hand into the rags of needlework. She checked it again, making sure Chu Feiyang wouldn't notice her poor needlework. Only then did she calm down and look up at Chu Feiyang, sneering, "Does the Prime Minister also sigh sometimes?"
Yun Qianmeng couldn't figure out what could have caused Chu Feiyang to sigh and feel so awkward, considering he didn't even take the Queen Mother seriously. Could it be...
Her eyes couldn't help but sweep towards the embroidery buried underneath. A hint of warmth flashed across Yun Qianmeng's eyes. She comforted herself alone, thinking that he shouldn't sigh over such a trivial matter!
"A plague has broken out in Luo City, you should know about it!" Looking at Yun Qianmeng, Chu Feiyang asked in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness in his tone!
Hearing his question, Yun Qianmeng nodded. The plague had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of Kyoto, and she was born in a family of officials, so how could she not know about it?
But no one knows what kind of virus it is. All we know is that the people are terrified of the plague and they all look worried. Even the guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion today are several times more than usual. I think Yun Xuanzhi must be worried that the plague will spread to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he has increased the vigilance to prevent outsiders from taking the opportunity to hide in the Prime Minister's Mansion!
"Why are you talking to me about this? Have you found a solution?" Yun Qianmeng frowned slightly and looked straight into Chu Feiyang's black eyes. She only saw her own figure in the dazzling black. Such a gaze made her heart jump slightly. A feeling of uneasiness suddenly came over her. She wanted to grasp that feeling, but it quickly slipped away from her mind!
Chu Feiyang shook his head with a smile, then took her hands, gently stroking the backs of her hands which were as smooth as cream, and whispered, "You must be extra careful while I'm away. If anything happens, let Ning Feng notify me!"
Hearing him say this, Yun Qianmeng's brows knitted together, her heart hanging high in her heart. She immediately asked, "Are you going to Luocheng?"
Seeing that Yun Qianmeng understood immediately, Chu Feiyang smiled with relief. He knew that he could not hide anything from her who was so meticulous. He had only revealed a few words, but she guessed it instantly. In front of this girl, he really had no privacy at all!
Seeing him laugh, Yun Qianmeng abruptly retracted her hand, her dark eyebrows almost raised as she lectured him, "You're rashly going over here when you don't even know the underlying condition. If something happens, have you ever considered the consequences? Besides, you're not an imperial physician and don't know any medical skills. If you go over here, I'm afraid you'll be powerless and might even risk your own life. What's your reason for doing this? You're so disregarding your own life?"
Yun Qianmeng didn't realize that her eyes were filled with worry at this moment. The words of reproach were filled with rare excitement, but in Chu Feiyang's eyes, it was filled with immense joy. He stretched out his right hand and quickly grabbed her wrist. Then, with a little force, he pulled Yun Qianmeng into his arms. He put his arm around her slender waist, and gently touched his lips to her ear. He slowly said, "I will be extremely careful! Besides, we have an imperial physician accompanying us this time, so nothing will happen! I will send you a letter every three days to let you know I'm safe. Don't worry!"
"Who said I was worried?" Yun Qianmeng, her cheek pressed against that warm chest, stubbornly refused to admit her worries, but her mind was racing. She then raised her head and looked at Chu Feiyang, recommending, "If you insist on going to Luocheng, why not ask Doctor Nie from Rongshan Hall to go with you! Although he didn't enter the palace as an imperial physician, he has superb medical skills and good medical ethics. If he goes to Luocheng, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"
Upon hearing Yun Qianmeng's recommendation, Chu Feiyang smiled in relief, then continued, "I came here today to borrow this person from you! Although Rong Shantang is somewhat inferior in the eyes of the Kyoto nobles, Doctor Nie's name is quite admired among the common people. If such a person were to go to Luocheng, he would be much more useful than those imperial physicians who have been pampered in the palace and have forgotten the meaning of a doctor's compassion! But, does Meng'er have other selfish motives in recommending this person?"
As he spoke, Chu Feiyang's smiling and cunning eyes stared straight at Yun Qianmeng, as if he had already anticipated Yun Qianmeng's intentions!
Yun Qianmeng also looked at Chu Feiyang with her eyes open. There was no evasion or concealment in her eyes. The frankness in her eyes was the honesty that Chu Feiyang liked the most. Yun Qianmeng rarely showed such emotions in front of others, which made Chu Feiyang cherish her extremely. He could only take advantage of the last moments of tonight to quietly hug her and tell her all the arrangements in his mind. "Grandpa and I are traveling together this time. Nanny Shangguan will make all the arrangements. The people in Kyoto are unstable recently. If there is nothing wrong, it is safer to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion! Meng'er, I know you are worried about Qu Feiqing, but this is an extraordinary period. Qu Feiqing's matter will be postponed. You just need to protect yourself and let me rest assured. Do you understand?"
Yun Qianmeng listened quietly to Chu Feiyang's arrangements, nodding occasionally. However, she noticed that Chu Feiyang only cared about her comfort at this moment, and was completely unaware that going to the epidemic area would be hundreds of times more dangerous for him. So she reminded him, "Hasn't the court received any news about the plague? Not even any symptoms?"
If I knew the symptoms, maybe I could help!
Chu Feiyang shook his head and said with a hint of regret, "No! This plague came too suddenly and spread very quickly. Even the doctors in Luo City have died from the plague. At this moment, the people in the nearby towns are avoiding it. How can any doctor be willing to enter Luo City to treat patients?"
After hearing what he said, Yun Qianmeng's expression became even more solemn. Her eyes were filled with seriousness. She said seriously, "When we get to Luocheng, you must tell me the patient's symptoms!"
Seeing her expression like this, Chu Feiyang knew that she must be concerned about him. His heart couldn't help but move slightly, and he was rarely excited. He lowered his head very seriously and approached Yun Qianmeng's face, looking at her at eye level. As his head gradually lowered, his thin lips slowly opened, "Don't worry, I won't let you worry! It's just that I am flattered to have such concern from Meng'er! If it's possible... Ouch..."
Some of them were unrestrained, but Yun Qianmeng stepped on them hard. The unexpected action made Chu Feiyang cry out, but in return he received a glare from Yun Qianmeng!
Staring at Yun Qianmeng who had seen through his thoughts, Chu Feiyang did not seem embarrassed at all. Instead, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He exerted a little force on his hands, and Yun Qianmeng's body immediately pressed against his, but he just held her quietly, and neither of them spoke again!
The natural fragrance from her hair and body lingered under his nose, making Chu Feiyang slowly close his eyes and enjoy the rare quiet time between the two of them!
Yun Qianmeng, on the other hand, rarely put her arms around Chu Feiyang's waist. She felt a little worried, but she also knew that he would take good care of himself, so she frowned and quietly leaned against his chest, which was emitting a little warmth, cherishing the remaining time they had together!
"Meng'er, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in Luocheng for a while. Do you have any gift for me?" Chu Feiyang opened his eyes slightly and looked at the brocade on the table that was hidden by Yun Qianmeng, with only a corner exposed, and asked with a smile in his eyes!
Hearing the smile in Chu Feiyang's words, Yun Qianmeng's face was embarrassed. Then she raised her head and really caught the faint smile on Chu Feiyang's lips that he couldn't retract in time. She was immediately angry and loosened her arms around his waist. She smiled and said, "This farewell hug is the best gift!"
After she finished speaking, Yun Qianmeng smiled cunningly. At this moment, her eyes were like stars, brilliant and gorgeous. The small dimple on her right cheek was looming, and there was countless cunning in her eyes. The faint red clouds floating on her cheeks made Chu Feiyang lower his head suddenly, and he quickly caught sight of those two red lips in her surprise, and kissed her lightly with a hint of punishment!
Unlike the two previous light touches, this kiss was filled with a hint of passionate infatuation, causing Chu Feiyang to instantly tighten his arms, forcing Yun Qianmeng to cling tightly to his chest. The force on his lips gradually deepened, no longer satisfied with the simple touch of their lips. As if wanting Yun Qianmeng's approval, his slightly cool lips tossed and turned on her red lips. Taking advantage of her difficulty in breathing, he pushed straight in and successfully occupied his city, not giving Yun Qianmeng a moment to calm down, enjoying the beauty between her lips...
Yun Qianmeng stared at Chu Feiyang's sudden action. Seeing that he was getting bolder, her hands were already ready to pinch the thin flesh on his waist. However, seeing that his eyes were slightly closed, his flat brows were slightly wrinkled, and his face looked pious and serious, a trace of heartache flashed through her heart. She couldn't help but put her hands around his waist, and then slowly closed her eyes, accepting the affection he conveyed to her with his lips!
After a while, Chu Feiyang reluctantly left Yun Qianmeng's lips, gently covered her black hair with one hand, and pressed her head to his chest. The slightly disordered heartbeat made Yun Qianmeng's somewhat distracted mind immediately return to normal, but she did not open her mouth to blame, but listened attentively to Chu Feiyang's rare loss of control of his emotions!
"I'll leave Xi Lin with you. If anything happens, have Xi Lin send a pigeon to tell you. Don't put yourself in danger again!" Thinking of Yun Qianmeng's boldness, Chu Feiyang always felt that it would be more reassuring to give her a warning!
But Yun Qianmeng suddenly raised her head when she heard this. The look in her eyes had long since returned to clarity. Now she was full of disapproval, and with a hint of firm rejection, she said, "I don't lack people around me. You are the one who really needs help. I can feel more at ease if Xi Lin follows you!"
Although the guards cannot resist the invasion of the disease, having one more person by Chu Feiyang's side is always an extra guarantee!
Staring at the worry in Yun Qianmeng's eyes, Chu Feiyang did not say anything. He just took out a green jade pendant from his waist and placed it in her palm. Then he looked at her silently and let her go. His tall and agile body flipped slightly in the night and disappeared in front of Yun Qianmeng!
Yun Qianmeng withdrew her gaze from the darkness. Her mood could no longer be as calm as before. There was a rare worry in her eyes, but she also knew that Chu Feiyang had to go on this trip. So she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the anxiety in her eyes was gone, and she was calm!
Looking at the jade pendant held in his palm, the emerald green color shimmered in the candlelight. It was obvious that it was a priceless jade. Chu Feiyang kept this, probably to give himself an extra layer of protection!
With a smile on his face, Yun Qianmeng put away the jade pendant and took the box containing the brocade, but found that the embroidery inside was nowhere to be found. Yun Qianmeng's face couldn't help but blush slightly, thinking that Chu Feiyang must have secretly taken it away just now. However, such craftsmanship really couldn't be given away, and he really wasn't afraid of being laughed at!
The night was deep, and the autumn wind was gradually rising. Chu Feiyang returned to his own Chu Mansion from Yun Xiang Mansion, only to find that the Chu Mansion was now brightly lit with candles, the entire mansion was reflected in the candlelight. He immediately knew who had broken into his mansion without permission. Putting away his outward emotions, Chu Feiyang walked quickly along the nine-curve corridor towards his study without looking around...
"Hey! The busy man is back!" But there are still people who refuse to let him go and stop him halfway!
The King of Chu was standing beside the corridor with a pot of hot tea in his hand, staring at Chu Feiyang with a smile in his eyes!
"It's really impolite to enter and exit other people's homes casually!" But Chu Feiyang had a cold face and replied coldly!
"What do you mean? What do you mean by someone else's home? You are my grandson. Do I have to send a visiting card when I enter my grandson's house? Besides, I am a prince and you are just the prime minister. Naturally, I am older than you. Do you want me to hand you a visiting card?" Unexpectedly, the King of Chu jumped up after hearing what Chu Feiyang said, but the purple clay teapot in his hand was held very steadily, and the tea inside did not spill at all!
“Since Your Highness knows your identity, you should be doubly careful about your words and actions. Sneaking into someone else’s house in the middle of the night is really unbecoming of Your Highness. If it gets out, people will definitely laugh at you!” Seeing that King Chu was blocking the middle of the corridor alone, Chu Feiyang was not in a hurry to leave. He just leaned against the pillar with his hands folded on his chest, looking at King Chu with shaking beard with a sneer in his eyes!
"Who? Whoever dares to spread rumors to me, I will be the first one to not forgive him!" After hearing what Chu Feiyang said, King Chu immediately shot a sidelong glance at Jiao Da who was standing in the garden, as if warning him to be careful with his words and actions!
However, Jiao Da just stood in a corner of the garden, doing his job diligently, and ignored the threatening look of the King of Chu!
Chu Feiyang looked at the King of Chu who was enjoying himself and was very happy, and couldn't help shaking his head. He stood up and was about to step forward, but the King of Chu dodged and blocked his way. He put his face under Chu Feiyang's eyes and asked with a bit of gossip, "Boy, where did you go just now? You look so rosy, I guess you went to say goodbye to the little girl!"
As he spoke, the King of Chu came closer, sniffed hard, and sniffed the scent of Chu Feiyang. Then he smiled slyly, glanced at Chu Feiyang with a mischievous look, and chuckled softly, "He must have gone to see the little girl, otherwise why would there be a faint fragrance on his body?"
Chu Feiyang had no time to argue with the King of Chu. Seeing that he had already guessed what he was saying, Chu Feiyang neither confirmed nor denied it. Instead, he stretched out his hand to brush away the troublesome King of Chu. However, he didn't expect the King of Chu to take the initiative and stretched out his right hand to the lapel of Chu Feiyang, muttering to himself, "Look at you, you look so happy, you must have got a treasure from the little girl. Take it out and show it to me, otherwise I will go find the little girl in a while!"
Chu Feiyang, however, used one hand to block the King of Chu's body search, then turned around and instantly widened the distance between them. With a cold face, he threatened the King of Chu who refused to give up, "If you make trouble again, I will send someone to coax you out immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the King of Chu really stopped what he was doing, but he simply placed the purple clay teapot in his hand on the corridor. Then he quickly flashed in front of Chu Feiyang, this time attacking with both hands at the same time, and his mouth was still busy, "How dare you! I am your grandfather, be careful or I will sue you for being unfilial! Take it out quickly, you must have found some treasure, otherwise why would you be so afraid of me searching you?"
But how could Chu Feiyang really let the King of Chu search out the embroidery hidden on his body? He immediately flew out of the corridor and pulled out the soft sword wrapped around his waist as a belt. The soft sword like a silver dragon gleamed brightly in the moonlight. The King of Chu was not to be outdone. He jumped out of the corridor after him and took a long sword from Jiao Da's hand. He held the hilt of the sword and immediately struck it against the soft sword in Chu Feiyang's hand, making a sound of weapons clashing, which was particularly harsh in the silent night!
"Take it out quickly! Otherwise you won't be able to rest tonight!" He skillfully attacked Chu Feiyang with the long sword in his hand, and his empty hand still reached out to Chu Feiyang's clothes without giving up!
"Dream on!" A cold rejection immediately interrupted King Chu's fantasy. The soft sword seemed to be integrated with Chu Feiyang, and it could always block King Chu's next attack at the most critical moment, making it impossible for King Chu to gain any advantage!
Jiao Da stood aside, listening carefully to his subordinates' whispered reports, and occasionally looked up at the fight between the two people in the yard. Seeing that the two men were unable to stop for a while, he raised his legs and followed his subordinates to another yard!
"Don't you care about grandpa very much? You even dared to go to Luocheng for grandpa, how come you have become so stingy now and won't even let me take a look!" Chu Nanshan looked at his grandson's increasingly improved martial arts, and immediately put away the long sword in his hand and put it behind his back, adopting a conciliatory policy this time!
However, Chu Feiyang did not relax his vigilance because of the King of Chu's temporary withdrawal. He kept a tight grip on the soft sword in his hand. The silver blade looked particularly cold and intimidating under the cold moonlight. He sneered and retorted, "I was just worried that Your Highness would go to the epidemic area and cause trouble, so I followed him! Please don't be so self-indulgent. If Your Highness has plenty of time now, you might as well return to the Chu Palace and have a good rest to avoid annoying others!"
After saying that, Chu Feiyang turned around and took another route to his study!
Chu Nanshan listened to his grandson's stubborn answer and immediately covered his mouth and laughed softly. However, amidst that deliberately confusing laughter, his figure rushed towards Chu Feiyang's back like a ghost...
The wind direction around him changed slightly, and although it was very subtle, the ever-sensitive Chu Feiyang immediately felt it. Coupled with the sudden appearance of a figure at his feet, Chu Feiyang suddenly turned around...
"Dang..." He blocked the King of Chu's sneak attack in a flash, and the two entered the next round of fighting...
At this time, at the door of Rongshan Hall, Xi Lin and the guards around him were helping Doctor Nie pack all the herbs into boxes and load them onto the carriage!
Rong Yunhe got the news and rushed over at night. He saw that the entrance of Rongshantang was already filled with ten carriages full of medicinal herbs. Seeing that it was the guard beside Chu Feiyang, he pulled Doctor Nie over and whispered, "Are you ready to go to Luocheng?"
Doctor Nie nodded when he asked, his eyes flashing with the worry of a doctor's parental heart. "There are no doctors over there. If I don't go, I'm afraid Luocheng will become an empty city! I know I'm outnumbered, but as long as I can do my part, I'll have no regrets! Besides, if I go to Luocheng, I might be able to research a prescription to suppress the plague. For a doctor, that's the most exciting thing!"
After hearing what Doctor Nie said, Rong Yunhe knew that he had made up his mind. For a person who loves medicine so much, Luocheng, which others fear, is a place that Doctor Nie longs for!
"In that case, I won't keep you here! I will take care of all the affairs in Kyoto! If the herbs are used up, you can ask someone to take this to the nearby town to buy herbs. This is much more convenient than transporting them from Kyoto!" As he said that, Rong Yunhe took out a thumb-sized wooden sign from his sleeve and handed it to Doctor Nie. It can be regarded as a good thing that the Rong family did for the people of Luocheng!
Doctor Nie also knew that Western Chu was in short supply of medicinal materials at the moment. Even if the palace sent imperial physicians, those precious medicinal materials would have to remain in the palace for the emperor and others to take. There would be no chance for the common people in Luocheng to use them. Therefore, he prepared to bring more medicinal materials with him!
However, although Luocheng is far away from Kyoto, it is also a big city with at least hundreds of thousands of people living there. I am afraid that the few medicinal materials I brought with me are just a drop in the bucket. Now with the support of Rong Yunhe, Doctor Nie felt relieved!
He took the wooden sign with some gratitude, but heard a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds coming from afar. In a short while, several eunuchs reined in their horses and stopped at the door of Rongshan Hall!
Seeing that it was the eunuch close to the emperor, Xi Lin put his unsheathed sword back into its holster. The eunuch had obviously also noticed Xi Lin and immediately walked forward with a smile and greeted him, "Prime Minister Chu is really quick in his work. I didn't expect to see Guard Xi here!"
Xi Lin glanced at the eunuch and saw that he was still holding the imperial edict in his hand, so he asked, "I wonder what important matter has brought you here?"
"Where is Doctor Nie? I'm here to announce the imperial edict!" As he spoke, the eunuch's shrewd eyes had already scanned Rong Shantang several times, finally landing on the young man standing with Rong Yunhe. He smiled and said, "I believe this must be Doctor Nie! Kneel down quickly to receive the imperial edict!"
Everyone felt nervous, not knowing why someone was sent to announce the imperial decree in the middle of the night. They all knelt down, waiting for the eunuch to read out the contents of the imperial decree!
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Dr. Nie Huaiyuan of Rongshan Hall, a compassionate physician, is granted the rank of Eighth-rank Imperial Physician. This is my decree!"
Just a few words linked Doctor Nie to the imperial palace!
Although he accepted the imperial edict, his expression was still full of disbelief, and even his eyes were full of surprise when he looked at Rong Yunhe!
"Doctor Nie, the emperor said that you should just focus on treating the people of Luocheng. All the medicinal materials produced by Rongshantang are purchased by the national treasury!" Seeing the surprise on Doctor Nie's face, the eunuch mistakenly thought that he was too happy, so he smiled and told him what Emperor Yugan said, then nodded to Rong Yunhe and Xi Lin, and immediately got on his horse and hurried to the palace!
Although Rong Yunhe didn't know why Emperor Yugan suddenly asked Doctor Nie to be the imperial physician, the words that the eunuch brought to his mind made a smile appear in his eyes. Chu Feiyang had really calculated everything. He knew that Doctor Nie would not go to Luocheng empty-handed, and he was worried that the money Yun Qianmeng invested in Rongshan Hall would be damaged. That's why he asked Emperor Yugan to agree to buy the herbs from Qiqi. He was really a terrifying man!
"What's this? If I wanted to be an imperial physician, why would I use such a method?" But Doctor Nie here was annoyed. Looking at the imperial edict in his hand, he felt a headache as if he saw a hot potato!
"I think it's a good idea! If you come back with merit this time, this Rongshan Hall will become famous, and then won't be able to provide medical treatment to more people? As for the position of imperial physician, I'm afraid it's the emperor's reward for your dedication. If you feel it's a burden, just resign after you come back. What's there to be angry about?" Rong Yunhe glanced at Xi Lin, who was supervising the apprentices to carry the herbs, and then whispered in Doctor Nie's ear!
After hearing Rong Yunhe's analysis, Doctor Nie nodded slightly, then put away the imperial edict, thinking to himself that he would discuss everything after returning to Beijing!
The next day, at the hour of Yin, in the hazy night, the sound of crisp, rhythmic horse hooves echoed through the quiet long street. Hundreds of men and horses passed through the gate of Prime Minister Chu's residence, galloping towards Luocheng under the stars and moon...
At the same time, Rong Yunhe also brought the news that Doctor Nie was appointed as the imperial physician to Qiluo Garden!
"Miss, why did you get up so early today?" Seeing that the candles had already been lit in Yun Qianmeng's inner room, Mu Chun walked in yawning, but saw Yun Qianmeng already dressed neatly and sitting behind the desk, holding a small piece of paper in her hand and looking at it carefully!
Seeing Yun Qianmeng's eyebrows slightly furrowed, Mu Chun lowered his footsteps and tiptoed to open the wooden window of the inner room. A layer of hazy light slowly shone in. However, the closer it got to winter, the colder the temperature outside in the early morning became. Seeing that Yun Qianmeng was only wearing a single layer of clothing, Mu Chun immediately walked to the wardrobe, took out a cloak from it, and carefully draped it over her shoulders. He whispered, "Miss, what's wrong? You got up so early and are wearing so little. Be careful not to catch a cold! Now that Prime Minister Chu is not in the capital, if Miss is sick, wouldn't he be worried about her from thousands of miles away?"
The news that Chu Feiyang had sent King Chu to Luo City spread very quickly, and even a little girl like Mu Chun knew about it!
Yun Qianmeng smiled lightly, then raised her hand close to the candle flame and burned the note in her hand. "Go prepare the carriage. After daybreak, we will go to the Fuguogong Mansion!"
"Yes!" Mu Chun responded softly, then immediately turned around and left the inner room!
However, before Yun Qianmeng could finish her breakfast, she saw the old lady leading Yun Yiyi in hurriedly!
"Grandma, how come you have time to come to your granddaughter's place today? I wonder if grandma and fourth sister have had breakfast?" Yun Qianmeng put down the half-eaten bowl and chopsticks, stood up and asked with a smile!
"Big sister!" But Yun Yiyi ran straight from the old lady's side towards Yun Qianmeng with a sad face. Her knees were about to kneel in front of Yun Qianmeng. Fortunately, Yun Qianmeng was quick-witted and immediately helped Yun Yiyi up with Yuan Dong, thus avoiding this shocking kneeling!
"What's wrong with Fourth Sister? Why are you so sad?" He looked at the old lady with some confusion, but saw that the old lady's face was livid. She led a group of maids and servants into Yun Qianmeng's inner room. After sitting down, she spoke angrily, "What else can be wrong? Aren't you missing your parents?"
Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng did not immediately answer the old lady. Instead, she turned to look at Mu Chun and the others. Seeing that they also shook their heads slightly, wondering what had happened, she cautiously asked, "I wonder what happened to make Grandmother and my sister so sad and angry?"
Upon hearing this, the old lady poked the blanket on the ground with her cane, making a series of annoying "dong dong dong" sounds. After she had shown off her power, she spoke with a cold face, "Are her parents and your second uncle and aunt outsiders? What right does Liu Hanyu have to prevent them from entering the Prime Minister's Mansion? She is just a little concubine, but now she has the guts to block even the master from entering! She didn't even think about the fact that she gave birth to a little girl. She is not even as good as Su Qing. Now she is so arrogant that she even brought the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion to prevent your uncle and aunt from entering! I was so angry that I couldn't even eat breakfast. I hurriedly brought your fourth sister here! Meng'er, you are the eldest daughter of this Prime Minister's Mansion after all. Your status is noble and unmatched. How can you tolerate the presumption of such a lowly little whore!"
As soon as Yun Qianmeng heard what the old lady said, she knew what was going on!
Just listening to the old lady's words, she was just like a country woman, not like the mistress of a wealthy family at all, which made Yun Qianmeng feel very disgusted!
Looking at the way these two people entered and broke into her inner room, she was probably aware that Chu Feiyang and King Chu were now heading to Luo City, and thought that she had lost the support of these two people, so they treated her as a soft persimmon!
After this analysis, Yun Qianmeng sat back down at the dining table, picked up the bowl and chopsticks in front of her, and continued to eat her unfinished breakfast!
"Meng'er, it's already so late, and you're still eating?" The old lady saw that Yun Qianmeng was not anxious or impatient, and was eating with such relish, she immediately flew into a rage and wanted to overturn the table in front of Yun Qianmeng!
However, Yun Qianmeng adhered to the rule of not talking while eating and patiently finished the breakfast in front of her. Under Yun Yiyi's jealous gaze, she asked Mi Ma to clear the table. After rinsing her mouth and wiping her hands, she walked back to the inner room, took the tea handed to her by Muchun, took a sip elegantly, and after savoring it for three seconds, she slowly said, "Grandmother, why are you so angry! Nowadays, people from outside cannot enter the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's not that Concubine Liu is deliberately making things difficult for her. This is an order from my father himself! Not to mention our Prime Minister's Mansion, the plague is so serious now that all the major mansions in Kyoto are only open to exits. Even the vendors who provide food every day have to go through several inspections. , only then can food be allowed in! Father did this just to ensure the safety of everyone in the mansion. If we let uncle and aunt in now, it will be difficult to refuse others in the future! As the mistress of the house, how could grandmother not understand father’s painstaking efforts? And now uncle and aunt are both in Kyoto. As long as the plague is under control, father will naturally agree to let them in. Why rush? Staying outside for a long time like this will increase the chance of contracting the disease! If grandmother really cares about uncle and aunt, she might as well persuade them to stay in the other courtyard and stop worrying people! "
Yun Qianmeng's words left the old lady speechless, but the anger in her heart only grew stronger!
"Big sister, I heard that Prime Minister Chu and Prince Chu have already left for Luo City. I wonder if they are in danger!" At this time, Yun Yiyi suddenly spoke. There was a vicious look in her eyes, and she was completely different from the pitiful look when she came in just now!
When the old lady heard Yun Yiyi's reminder, the anger in her eyes was blatantly revealed, and she immediately said angrily, "That place is now a dead city. I'm afraid there's no way back!"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the two of them felt the air around them suddenly turn cold. Looking at Yun Qianmeng again, they saw that she had a sneer on her face, with a chilling indifference in her eyes, staring at the two of them with an extremely funny look!
However, what the old lady said was not without reason. With the plague spreading at this time, no normal person would be willing to go there. I am afraid that Chu Feiyang and King Chu will be in great danger if they go there this time!
Yun Qianmeng was probably still dreaming of marrying into the royal palace, but the old lady and Yun Yiyi kept laughing at her foolish dream in their hearts!
Thinking of this, the old lady's confidence was instantly sufficient. After all, Yun Qianmeng would be helpless in the future, so there was no need for her to be intimidated by her aura. She said with a gloomy face, "Meng'er, don't blame grandma for being talkative! Everyone in Western Chu knows that Luocheng is extremely dangerous, but Prime Minister Chu just plunged into it. If anything happens to him, Meng'er, you will be accused of killing your fiancé! Such a crime is the most intolerable for your husband's family. Your life will be over! Grandma is really worried, but your father seems very satisfied with your marriage, and grandma is also powerless! Fortunately, your fourth sister is still young. If she had been favored by Prime Minister Chu, wouldn't she be the one suffering today?"
