Su Malagu saw everything that happened here. She had a pretty good impression of Mu Sili. After all, she was the prince's person, knew the rules, and sincerely hoped that the princess would be well. It was hard for her not to have a good impression of her.
As for Guaerjia, it was different. She looked at her with some annoyance. She was grateful that she was not summoned to take care of the sick, but later she realized that she came for the prince.
She has been in mourning for four years and is about to be released. If something happens to the princess at this time, her marriage will have to be postponed. After all, the prince will definitely mourn for her.
The Crown Prince is in mourning, so naturally, as the future Crown Princess, Guaerjia has to follow suit. If he mourns for three to five years, then she will have to wait.
Her purpose of entering the palace today should be to gain favor with the prince. After all, the princess loves the prince the most, which can be seen from the fact that the prince did not go to the Ganqing Palace but hurried to the Cining Palace.
"Li Gege, you are the prince's concubine after all. Since His Highness has asked you to attend to the sick, then you should go in and wait. Gege will wake up soon. I will go prepare some food."
"Thank you, Aunt Suma. I'm going in now. Please prepare some light food for the Empress Dowager when she wakes up. It's not suitable for her to eat greasy food after she wakes up."
"I understand. Thank you, Li Gege, for your advice. Guarjia Gege, although you are His Highness's appointed Crown Princess, I dare not ask you to attend to your illness until you enter the palace."
Su Malagu's words made Guaerjia's face turn green and red. Wasn't this clearly saying that she was not as good as Mu Sili? What a joke, she was the future Crown Princess!
But she had served Empress Xiaozhuang for many years, and even Emperor Kangxi was taught by her. Now she said that she was not qualified to go in to take care of the sick, so she was not qualified to go in. No matter how unhappy she was, she had to hold it in.
"What Aunt Suma said is that I haven't married His Highness yet, so I'm not qualified to go in and take care of the Grand Empress Dowager. But I'm really worried about her, so please let me in.
Don't worry, auntie, I'll be waiting right here. Just like Li Gege said, the Empress Dowager is asleep now. It would be bad if she wakes up and there's no one around to watch over her.
You are old and need more rest. I am here to watch over you, so don't worry. If the Empress Dowager wakes up, I will notify you immediately."
Su Malagu didn't know what to say for a moment. She felt that the girl in front of her was a little stubborn. She had already told her that she didn't need to go in and guard, so why did she insist on going in and not letting go?
The Cining Palace was not a place where a servant like her could come whenever she wanted. It was already good enough that she was allowed to wait here today. She also knew the purpose of her entry into the palace, and it would be a bit embarrassing to keep pestering her.
"Princess Guarjia, this old servant said this is the Cining Palace. I am very grateful that you can come to see the princess today, but the princess needs to rest, so please go back."
Su Malagu's tone was a little stiff, which made Guaerjia, who had originally thought that she would agree to let her stay, stunned. After all, she was the future Crown Princess, so why couldn't she stay?
"Aunt Suma..."
"Princess, please."
Guaerjia had no choice but to watch Su Malagu invite Mu Sili in, and then follow the palace maids out of the Cining Palace.
She remembered the humiliation of today. When she enters the palace one day, she will definitely teach Su Malagu the rules. You have to know that she is the Crown Princess and the future Queen. Her behavior just now is a slap in her face.
Inside the Cining Palace, Mu Sili looked at Su Malagu with some worry. Su Malagu felt helpless seeing her wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"Gege Li has something to say to this old slave?"
"Aunt Suma, is that your Highness's unmarried Crown Princess, or was she married by imperial decree? She wants to come and tend to the Grand Empress Dowager. Why are you stopping her?"
"As Li Gege said, that was indeed the Crown Princess who was overturned by the Emperor's order. I am grateful that she came to the Cining Palace today, but she is too scheming, and I am worried.
Although Li Gege is only the prince's concubine, you have a formal status in Yuqing Palace, and His Highness has asked you to serve the Empress Dowager. This is a clear path, so you can rest assured and stay with me.
But that one is different. Her current status is still the daughter of a minister. If I were to ask her to attend to the Empress Dowager at this time, I'm afraid it would be a bit inappropriate, so forget it."
Seeing Mu Sili's confused look, Su Malagu couldn't help but worry about how difficult her life would be after Guaerjia entered the palace.
"Gege Li is young, so it's normal that she doesn't understand some things. You are simple-minded, and that's why I asked you to come in and serve me. That person is not as good as you in this aspect.
I am indeed old, but I have been in the palace for many years, and I can see through her little tricks. You must be more careful with her in the future."
"Thank you, Aunt Suma, for your advice. I understand. I will go in and serve the Grand Empress Dowager first. You can go and rest for a while. If the Grand Empress Dowager wakes up, I will send someone to notify you."
She was indeed a little tired. Mu Sili looked reliable. Although she was a little naive, she was obedient. Since she said so, she might as well take this opportunity to rest for a while.
But she would not be too far away from the princess. She would rest in the outer room for a while, so that if the princess woke up later, she would be the first to know.
"Then I'll leave the care of Princess Li to her."
After Su Malagu left, Mu Sili came to Xiaozhuang's bedside. She had originally persuaded herself to save Xiaozhuang, but now she didn't want to save her anymore.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are common in the world. If she saved her today, would she have to save Kangxi and more people in the future? She was not a good person, so why did she do that?
If she saved her now, the marriage between Guaerjia and the prince would definitely be held normally. When she entered the palace, would she be able to have a good life?
She was not a fool and would not let such a thing happen, so it was better for Xiaozhuang to die peacefully, but she could let her die more easily.
After returning to the Shi Mansion, Guaerjia had a huge tantrum. She only hoped that Xiaozhuang could get better quickly, even if it was just a few months.
As long as she can live until she and the prince are successfully married, she will mourn for her after her death. Now she is going to pray for her.
As soon as Xiaozhuang opened her eyes, she saw Mu Sili dozing off beside her. She felt a little depressed. She had seen her before, but she didn't expect that she would come to take care of her when she was sick.
Just as she was about to get up, Mu Sili woke up. Seeing her wake up, she smiled with surprise.
