Lou Yan was blocked from the door and could not see Lou Shulan.
He could only take a look at the woman who was suffering from illness through the window.
Even if he couldn't get in, he wouldn't leave, so he just stood guard in the yard. Thinking about when his mother wanted to see him, he would open the door and see her immediately.
Changning Palace, which used to be bustling in the past, suddenly became empty. Except for Lou Yan and her son, there was only an imperial doctor who was treating patients and a maid who was serving as a personal attendant. Everyone else was moved out of Changning Palace.
The imperial doctor looked very old, gasping for breath every step of the way, and looked a bit weaker than the patient Lou Shulan.
The maid in charge was a little girl in her late teens, clumsy, and crying all day long.
And these people were all arranged by the queen.
The queen said that this imperial doctor had been in the imperial hospital for many years and was well-informed and experienced. The queen said that this little girl was innocent and kind-hearted, and she was the best at taking care of people.
Lou Yan saw this and felt hatred in his heart. He became more and more taciturn.
In Changning Palace, the air was filled with the strong smell of Chinese medicine. Lou Yan took over most of the work in Changning Palace. He was very good at boiling medicine and cleaning, but he was still not allowed to approach Lou Shulan.
.
Lou Shulan chased him away many times, but finally saw that she couldn't chase him away, so she gradually stopped chasing him away.
For several days, everything in Changning Palace was peaceful and peaceful, maintaining a superficial calm.
This calmness was finally broken on the fifth day.
Lou Yan raised his hand and knocked over the meal that was brought in. He suppressed his anger and said coldly: "You are just giving these to the patients?"
What was knocked to the ground were a few cold steamed buns and a large pot of porridge that was so watery it could look in the mirror. This kind of meal had been served for two consecutive days.
Lou Yan didn't care, he could eat whatever he wanted. But his mother was ill and couldn't just eat these non-nutritious things every day.
Through a crack in the door, the eunuch who delivered the meal had a high-pitched voice: "Your Highness, you don't know something. People who are sick need to eat light food. This porridge and steamed buns are the most nourishing."
Lou Yan said coldly: "Why don't you eat?"
The eunuch outside was silent for a moment, then sneered: "Today's meal has been delivered to me. If Your Highness does not want it, there is nothing I can do about it."
After that, he turned around and left.
Lou Yan was stunned, kicked the door with his leg, and roared: "You dare?"
The eunuch ran very fast and disappeared in a flash.
Lou Yan looked at the spilled food on the ground, gritted his teeth and took a few steps forward, trying to kick the locked door open. But before he could kick the door open, the girl's exclamation suddenly came from the room.
Lou Yan was startled, raised his hand and pulled a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, turned around and rushed into the house.
In the room, Lou Shulan was half lying on the bed, her upper body leaning on the edge of the bed, as if she had just vomited. On the ground, there was a large puddle of filth, with a dazzling red color inside.
The little girl who was serving her was covering her mouth and nose, and was standing beside the bed helplessly. The old doctor was also a little panicked, holding pills in his hand to feed Lou Shulan.
Lou Yan raised his foot and was about to get closer, but Lou Shulan raised her hand to stop her: "Don't come over!"
Lou Yan stood there, staring at Lou Shulan with red eyes, and his voice was almost trembling: "You... please, just let me see you!"
Lou Shulan shook her head and said, "You can see it now."
Lou Yan gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Lou Shulan wiped her mouth, stood up and leaned on the head of the bed, raising her hand to put the old doctor's pills aside.
The old doctor was a little anxious and said, "Mother, you have to take this medicine."
Lou Shulan said calmly: "It's useless, I won't eat it."
The old doctor moved her lips but did not dare to say a word.
When Lou Yan heard this, he felt as if his internal organs were being crushed to pieces.
Lou Shulan turned her head to look at Lou Yan and asked softly: "I heard you arguing with someone just now?"
Lou Yan: "...No."
Lou Shulan nodded and said softly: "You are different from other princes. Your foundation is too shallow. You should be cautious in what you say and do. Don't cause trouble for yourself."
Lou Yan lowered his head: "I understand."
Lou Shulan closed her eyes and said, "I'm tired, you all should go out."
Lou Yan stood there for a moment, then turned around and walked out.
As soon as he walked out of Lou Shulan's door, Lou Yan's expression immediately changed. His calm eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes, and his whole person was full of rage.
Without saying a word, he rushed straight to the locked door, raised his foot and kicked off the chain locked at the door, and the closed door suddenly opened.
The Imperial Guards guarding the door instantly swarmed forward, with their spears and daggers placed on Lou Yan's neck.
The leader looked at Lou Yan and said in a deep voice: "Changning Palace is closed and no one can come out. Please come back, Your Highness."
Lou Yan had a cold face and lowered his voice: "I want to see Your Majesty."
The man was silent for a moment and said: "The Queen has a destiny. She will personally decide all affairs in Changning Palace. There is no need to alarm Your Majesty."
Lou Yan closed his eyes and said, "Then can I see the prince?"
The man still shook his head: "The Queen has given instructions not to allow anyone to come to Changning Palace to avoid being infected."
Lou Yan said with a cold face: "If that doesn't work, then I'll break out today!"
After that, he took a step forward with force against those spears and daggers.
"Your Highness, Third Highness!" Another person spoke, and promptly stopped Lou Yan, saying in a deep voice, "We don't want to embarrass you, and please don't embarrass us either."
Lou Yan paused and stared at the person who was speaking. After taking a look, he felt that he looked indescribably familiar.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Lou Yan suddenly said: "Can I have a few words with you alone?"
The man nodded, told everyone else to return to their original positions, and stood not far from Lou Yan: "What do you want to say, Your Highness?"
"Are you from Longhu Mountain? I have met you." Lou Yan said.
The man smiled and nodded: "Your Highness, you have a good memory. I am indeed from Longhu Mountain."
Lou Yan was silent for a moment, then said with some difficulty: "I, I have some friendship with your lady, can you help me for her sake?"
The man raised his eyebrows in surprise. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What does Your Highness want me to do?"
"Send me a letter," Lou Yan said immediately, "Send it to the Prince's Mansion and give it to the Prince."
It was just a letter, which was not difficult at all, and the person did not refuse.
Lou Yan immediately turned back to the house and wrote a letter quickly. Just as he was about to put it into the envelope, he remembered something and wrote another identical letter and put it into two envelopes.
He walked to the door with the letter, handed the envelope to the man, and said in a deep voice: "Send one to the East Palace for the prince, and one... for your young lady."
The man took it, put down the one for the prince, put away the compromising letter for Qin Zhen, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry."
Lou Yan breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the courtyard.
The door of Changning Palace was closed again and locked with a chain, turning Changning Palace into an isolated island.
