Chapter 178 The Queen visits the East Palace in person
The prince drank a few sips of Pu'er tea and was about to get up to go to the western study room to review memorials from all over the country, but he heard Gao Jin report that the empress has arrived.
"The Empress is here, where is she?"
Yuanzhi was shocked when he heard this.
Since the last night of terrifying night in the Shulan side palace of Funing Palace last time, he has not dared to go to Funing Palace to see the Queen again for fear of unexpected events.
Unexpectedly, the Queen could not hold back and came to her.
"Report to Your Highness, Feng Luan of the Empress went directly to Xianglan Palace, and should be visiting Concubine Lan." Gao Jin replied carefully.
It is not easy for the Empress to visit the Prince's Concubine in Xianglan Hall of the East Palace.
The prince of the Eastern Palace did not go to meet and expressed his gratitude. He was morally unreasonable, but was suspected by others.
"Go to Xianglan Palace."
Yuanzhi thought for a while and decided to go to Xianglan Palace.
Speaking of Xianglan Palace, since Concubine Lan was bedridden for a long time, it has been quiet everywhere, and the palace maids and eunuchs and nannies are all slight.
The imperial physician said that Concubine Lan needs to rest.
Cao Feilan is very weak and has an uterine infection in her lower body, and she has been suffering from high and low fever.
Today, a hot and high fever broke out, and the palace maids and nannies in the house were in a hurry. Fortunately, there was a female doctor here, and the medicine was also pre-boiled.
She lay on the bed and looked pale, and her close palace maid Xiaoqiu was serving her.
Xiaoqiu came back only after Concubine Lan begged the prince.
The female official Xiaoqiu did not let other palace maids approach Concubine Lan, but only asked them to bring hot water and clean towels and handkerchiefs.
She knelt on the pedal, wiped the sweat on Concubine Lan's forehead and body, and comforted her: "There are slaves here, so you can rest with peace of mind."
The security measures in Xianglan Temple are very strict, and people and objects close to you must be strictly inspected, drug tests and other measures.
If something happens to Concubine Lan, these people will have to bear the law of continuation, including their families.
Concubine Lan still murmured continuously, and only when Xiaoqiu approached her mouth could she vaguely hear it.
The hanging curtains covered the figures in the house, the candlelight swayed in the wind, and the medicine on the small mahogany table was steaming faintly.
In the afternoon, the sun was high and the empress arrived. Behind her was the female official, Jasper, and several personal palace maids, carrying many valuable supplements from the palace.
Cao Feiyan signaled that everything was exempted from rituals and should not be shouted loudly. The palace maid still went into the bedroom and reported, "Concubine Lan, the Empress is here."
Concubine Lan was too weak to get up, so she asked Xiaoqiu to put a pillow under her neck.
The bead curtain was lifted up, and the queen stepped into the house alone, hurriedly reached out to signal Concubine Lan not to move, and smiled and said, "I'll take the time to visit you, Lan'er, are you getting better?"
She said, walked up to sit on the edge of the bed, and reached out to hold Cao Feilan's shriveled and blood-less hand.
Cao Feilan opened her eyes wide, grinned slightly, and said softly: "Empress Xie is concerned, you come here in person, Lan'er feels guilty of receiving the lesson."
"Don't be so rude, I should have come here earlier."
The queen was wearing a long skirt with a full moon shining on the branches, her cheeks were slightly powdery, her hair accessories were light and simple, her hair was inserted horizontally, and her hair was squinted and combed. She deliberately did not want the queen's outfit, and she was dressed in plain clothes.
Even so, it cannot cover her delicate appearance and plump figure.
It has been more than twenty days since the Cao Feilan’s abortion incident. In addition to sending King Yuanxuan of Jin and the female official Biyu to visit Xianglan Palace several times. This is the first time that the queen has visited Xianglan Palace in person.
Everyone knows the main reason and is tacitly understood.
This time she came to visit her, she made up her mind, after all, it was the bad thing her father and brothers did.
However, she was determined to come and visit her and said that the matter had nothing to do with her.
Cao Feilan still has this awareness. Although she hated Cao's mansion to the core, she was still able to pass the etiquette when the Empress arrived.
The two sisters still chatted without a word, which was inseparable from the condition, recovery, and concern. It sounded like a person who didn't know the truth, and everything was normal.
After bent down and talking for a long time, the queen straightened her waist and raised her head, and saw a pot of orchids on the windowsill of the bedroom, looking half-wilted in the bright sunlight.
Look at Concubine Lan again. Her beautiful appearance in the past has become pale and dull, and she is alive with the pot of half-wicked orchids.
Things change.
A month ago, the queen was still envious of this little cousin, saying that she was blessed in disguise and was favored by the prince.
But what about now?
Alas, things are unpredictable.
The queen felt a little sympathy for Concubine Lan.
Men compete for power and profit, but women suffer.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is here."
As the eunuch outside the room sang softly, Yuan Zhi lifted the curtain and walked in.
"My son has seen her mother. It's so cold. My mother is visiting Concubine Lan in the East Palace. Thank you."
Yuanzhi bowed respectfully.
"No gift to the prince. You are busy with state affairs and I believe you rarely come to Xianglan Palace. I have time to have time to do it, so I come over and take a look when I think about it. It seems that Lan'er is not seriously injured and only needs a long time to recuperate."
Cao Feiyan glanced at Yuan Zhi calmly, but when she said that she would hold a gun and a stick, she had something to say.
"The mother taught her a lesson."
In fact, Cao Feiyan blamed Yuan Zhi wrongly.
He would visit Cao Feilan almost every day at Xianglan Palace, either early in the morning or before going to bed at night.
Each time I don’t come for a long time, I just greet you or say a few greetings, shake hands and touch my forehead or something.
All of these brought endless warmth to Cao Feilan.
She relied on these things to fight against the illness and actively cooperated with the treatment.
How she hoped that she would recover as soon as possible, be as affectionate as before with the prince, and give birth to children for him.
"Okay, you are here, and I am ready to go back to the palace." Cao Feiyan snorted lazily, turned around and said to Cao Feilan:
"Lan'er, you have a good rest. The Japanese Palace will come to see you later."
Without waiting for anyone to react, she got up and walked out.
"My son respectfully sends his mother to the queen."
Yuanzhi quickly stepped forward, respectfully supported her elbow with her hands, crossed the threshold, and walked down the steps step by step.
Others avoided them from afar and followed behind.
Seeing that the prince knew each other, Cao Feiyan's face became warm, her eyebrows were full of spring, her slender white jade hand was lightly placed on his sleeve, her round inch armor gently lifted the blue veins on the back of his hand, and she whispered:
"Enemy, you have an old problem again. You haven't come to see me for twenty days. Don't you feel cruel."
Speaking of the last word, she nipped her silver teeth lightly, and her sharp armor poked the back of his hand hard.
Yuanzhi frowned slightly in pain. He did not pull back his hand and whispered:
"Last time I was shocked, how could I dare to go? There are too many undercover agents in Funing Palace, you have to clean up."
"This matter has to be discussed for a long time, and the sudden internal investigation will naturally cause my father to be dissatisfied. I am afraid that he will take another harsh move. I am worried..."
Cao Feiyan wanted to speak but stopped, and then he was inconvenient to say it.
It seems that she has some worries.
However, she was right, and the internal censorship in Funing Palace was carried out, which attracted suspicion from outsiders.
If Cao Qichang directly believes that his daughter has also betrayed the Cao family, it will be even more unfavorable to the current situation.
"Then...it's better we meet less recently."
Yuanzhi's expression is implicit. He said that meeting rarely is the case, but in fact, it is just not meeting.
