She became seriously ill and her figure became thinner. Not only did she say that her outline became clearer, and she looked more indifferent and inaccessible than before.
After getting up this morning, Mu Yunqing's face was a little pale, but she was in good spirits. Her eyes were bright and bright, not as gray as she had been a few days ago. Rong Jin was a little relieved. After listening to her words, she returned to the palace for the time being.
As soon as he left, Yiliang, Qiusang and the others dared to enter the house and approach Mu Yunqing.
As soon as I saw them, Mu Yunqing's first words were: "I've been sick for a few days. Are Lan'er so anxious?"
Qiu Sang hurriedly comforted: "Miss, don't worry. Although the young master is worried about you, fortunately, he has eaten and slept well these days, so it's okay."
"That's good……"
"By the way, Miss, I have done what you have told me." Yiliang delivered the medicine that had just been hung up to Mu Yunqing and whispered: "It's just that you were sick before, and I'm afraid that I'll delay the big thing, so I reported it to my master and did it as he told me."
He paused, and without waiting for Mu Yunqing to ask a question, he continued, "But the master explained before leaving, and only told you the result. You won't worry about the rest. He said he knows how to cook, and only allows you to recover from illness."
Mu Yunqing lowered his eyes and responded softly, but did not show off his strength.
She took a spoonful of medicine and drank it, which was not as bad as she thought: "This medicine is not as bitter as ordinary people."
"Hehe, this is specially matched by the master for you, I'm afraid it's too bitter to swallow it." As he said one or two, he picked up the porcelain plate full of candied fruit and served it in front of Mu Yunqing: "This candied fruit is made in the imperial kitchen in the palace. Miss, please try it."
"Is this also Rong Jin brought it?"
"Not all, there are a few things that were sent by Princess Ning'an. She wanted to leave the palace to see you in person, but because the empress dowager was unhappy two days ago, she couldn't leave, and was afraid that she would come here, so she disturbed your rest. She said that she would come to visit you after you are completely ready in two days."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunqing smiled knowingly: "Qingyao is intent."
"Not only, you have been sick these days. The Fourth Prince, the eldest princess, and the Rong prince... They have all visited them, and there is Miss Chen. She has sent a thousand-year-old ginseng. I heard that there are probably not many ginseng in the palace today."
"Oh, by the way, there is also the second lady..."
When Lu Chenghuan was mentioned, she arrived.
These days she ran to Mu Yunqing's yard every day, but because Rong Jin was there, she had never seen Mu Yunqing's people, so she could only learn about her situation through one or two of them.
After Lu Chenghuan entered the house and sat down for a while, Lu Chengshuang also came.
As soon as they met, they were pinching like black-eyed chickens. Fortunately, although Lu Chenghuan was young, he was very mature in his work and put Mu Yunqing first in everything. He might disturb her from resting, so he did not fight with Lu Chengshuang and left quickly.
Seeing Lu Chengshuang grimacing at Lu Chenghuan's back, Mu Yunqing couldn't help but say, "Although Huan'er is not good at speaking, her heart is not bad. She is the most important person who values love and friendship. If you are a little good to her, she will definitely give you more than twelve points."
"Hmph, I don't care!"
"Where did she offend you?"
"I also want to ask my cousin, she is obviously from the Shen family, why are you so kind to her?" When he said this, Lu Chengshuang's face was full of displeasure.
"If there are lotus that are washed in the clear water but not in awe, then there will naturally be people who are not stained with mud. Although Huan'er is a member of the Shen family and has grown up in the Marquis' Mansion since childhood, she is definitely not the same as them. She treats me sincerely, so I will naturally repay you."
"Then how do you know she is not doing a show?" Lu Chengshuang was firm and looked like she was a bad person no matter what you said: "Maybe this is their conspiracy. I want to use her to reduce your vigilance so that she can lurk by your side so that she can take action in the future."
Mu Yunqing originally wanted to say something again, but was interrupted by Madam Zhou's reason for serving tea. She vaguely guessed that she must have been sick and had something happened in the past few days, so she suppressed her words and did not continue the topic.
After chatting for a while, Lu Chengshuang suddenly asked, "Cousin, is your marriage with the little prince going to be postponed?"
"Extended?!" Mu Yunqing raised his eyebrows: "Who said that?"
"I just went to visit my elder brother. He said cousin, you are sick now. If you are busy with the marriage, you will definitely not be able to support it. If the little prince really takes you to heart, he will definitely put your health first and postpone the marriage."
One or two were grinding their teeth when they heard it.
She thought to herself what this is! If the brother and sister mean, does it mean that the master did not postpone the marriage, which means he does not value the lady?
Thinking of this, Yiliang immediately looked at Mu Yunqing, for fear that she would misunderstand Rong Jin.
Fortunately, Mu Yunqing has never been the kind of person who was led by the nose because someone else was talking a few words. Her expression remained unchanged and said calmly: "I am much better, not to mention that it is not a serious disease. It is related to the royal family. How can I change it at any time?"
"But he is the prince."
"The prince is also the prince, the emperor, and the queen mother, and not all of them can be decided by themselves."
When Mu Yunqing mentioned the prince, Lu Cheng's eyes moved slightly and asked again: "Cousin, are you familiar with His Highness the Crown Prince? You were sick that day. I heard that girl Lu Chenghuan say that she was going to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to help him hire an imperial physician. Is she the prince you know through?"
"she……"
"Miss, I see that your face is not good. You are still sick and should not sit for a long time. Let's lie down and rest." Madam Zhou spoke at the right time, avoiding Lu Chengshuang's continued questioning, and without any trace of it, the order to expel guests was sent.
After she left, Madam Zhou told Mu Yunqing about the quarrel between her and Lu Chenghuan that day.
After hesitating, Madam Zhou still said frankly: "Miss, please forgive me for being too talkative. Miss Lu is not like a peaceful master."
When I was in Jiangnan, Madam Zhou had this feeling, but there were not as many high-ranking officials there as many as Kyoto. Lu Chengshuang was held in the palm of his hands by the Lu couple, so he naturally would not envy others, but now it is different.
"Under the emperor's feet, there is wealth and charming eyes, the lady needs to pay attention as soon as possible."
"Thank you, nanny, for reminding me, I've recorded it." Mu Yunqing smiled softly and nodded slightly.
Actually, she was thinking about this.
Seeing Lu Chengshuang's words and deeds today, she was afraid that she would not be able to tolerate Lu Chenghuan in the future. Whether the latter was against her or tolerating her best, it was not something that Mu Yunqing liked. However, after thinking about it, she still felt that Lu Chenghuan could not be allowed to stay in the Lu family.
Now Lu Chenghuan has a new identity. As long as he doesn’t show up outside, the problem will not be too big.
Besides, Kyoto is probably not the place where they live for a long time, and Rong Jin's side... will sooner or later return to Northern Qi.
***
During the past few days when Mu Yunqing was sick, Rong Lie rushed to ask someone to marry Chen’s house. He wanted to settle his marriage with Chen Yuan before Mu Yunqing left the house, so that he would not be afraid that Chen Yuan would leave his sight.
