Liu Cairen was indeed forced to go to the forefront.
Since she fell out of favor and was sent to the cold palace, the concubines who had been bullied by her would occasionally ridicule her and take revenge on her.
Even instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to detain her poor living supplies that were already small. Many times, she was in poverty and sick.
For a long time since she was incarnated into the cold palace, Xiao Zhenting was unable to protect herself and could not afford her any shelter.
Now, seeing Xiao Zhenting marrying Ling Zhiru improve, Liu Cairen's heart is already full of holes.
She was like a frightened bird, tortured to death, and a small blow could completely defeat her psychological defense.
After Liu Cairen hanged himself, Xiao Zhenting was not allowed to enter the harem to mourn and collect the body for his mother. He went to beg the emperor to let him do his best to be a son, but the emperor ignored him and refused to see him even when he saw him.
It was not until Ling Zhiru entered the palace to plead with the Queen Mother that Xiao Zhenting was allowed to wear mourning for his mother and keep a soul outside the cold palace.
The heavy rain lasted for three days and three nights, and Xiao Zhenting knelt for three days and three nights until he fainted in the heavy rain and was carried back by the guards in the mansion.
"Miss, now everyone is telling the filial piety of the King of Qin." Lu Tong fanned Shangguan Wanning and said what she heard from outside.
Filial piety?
Shangguan Wanning sneered.
Xiao Zhenting is worthy of it?
but……
Shangguan Wanning thought to herself that Xiao Zhenting is cruel to everyone, and finally he still has a little conscience towards his mother.
"Miss, the second lady is back and asks for a meeting outside the door." The nanny came in to report.
Shangguan Wanning was a little surprised.
Recently, Shangguan Xiaoxiao has hardly come back. Even if she comes back, she only pays homage to her father with some purpose. Why do you think of her today?
"Miss, if you don't want to see her, I will go out to help you dismiss her." Lu Tong could see that Shangguan Wanning was not happy to see Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
Shangguan Wanning smiled softly. "Since she is here, I guess she has something to say. Let her come in."
Soon, Shangguan Xiaoxiao walked in under the guidance of her nanny.
She bowed to Shangguan Wanning in a regular manner.
If you give rituals to others, you will have something to ask for.
"Why did my sister come back today? My father told me when I went out in the morning that I would not come back for lunch. What do I want to eat? I told the kitchen to make more."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao could hear the alienation in Shangguan Wanning's tone. Her heart was trembling with excitement. She lowered her head and bit her lips tightly. Her hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched into fists, and she tried her best to endure it.
"Sister, please help me."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao knelt in front of Shangguan Wanning and raised her head with tears in her eyes.
Shangguan Wanning was slightly stunned. "What's the matter?"
"In order to keep a good life for your mother, the prince kept having a high fever after being in the rain. It would be useless to hire an imperial doctor in the palace. I know that my sister's master is very skilled in medical skills. I beg her to save him because the prince once loved you deeply.
Bar."
Shangguan Wanning's brows frowned into a crack.
She really couldn't figure out whether Shangguan Xiaoxiao had no brains or did it on purpose, and even said something like "deep love" in front of her.
"Sister, it's not that I don't want to help you, but... I can't do anything about it. Even the imperial physician has no choice. How can my master have this ability?"
Shangguan Wanning sighed silently.
She knew very well that Sun Jinyao hated Xiao Zhenting to the core.
Even if Lu Xiangzi agreed, he would try his best to stop him.
"elder sister……"
"Sister, don't say anything more, I can't help you." Shangguan Wanning stood up and said indifferently, "If you have nothing else, just go back to your room to rest."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao lowered her head, suppressed the murderous aura at the corner of her eyes, and stood up and walked out without looking back.
Her face was pale and full of hatred.
Since Ling Zhiru entered the door, Xiao Zhenting has become even colder to her and has not come to her room once for several months.
Ling Zhiru relied on her family background to humiliate and bully her repeatedly. She was very angry, but she had no family to rely on.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao begged Shangguan Wanning with dignity and pride, hoping to take this opportunity to make contributions in front of Xiao Zhenting. Who knows...
She didn't believe that Shangguan Wanning would not understand, but she still cruelly cut off her last retreat.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at Shangguan Wanning's room.
"One day, I will step you under my feet."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao thought about it and left with her sleeves.
The heavy rainstorms for several days washed away many houses outside the city and around the capital, leaving many people homeless. A large number of people flocked to the capital to take refuge.
Even the people in the capital, their food, clothing, housing and transportation were affected.
The court ordered the opening of warehouses and grain. In order to demonstrate their kindness and magnanimity, some high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital also paid out of their own pockets to buy rice and noodles to distribute them to the people, temporarily ensuring the people's food and clothing.
As the prime minister, Shangguan Yue naturally wanted to let everyone see his attitude.
He discussed with some ministers in the court, and each family took turns to give medicine and porridge in front of the city gate.
Seeing that many people were ill, Shangguan Wanning set up a table in the place where the medicine and porridge were given, and set up a tent to treat the people for free.
Lu Xiangzi expressed support for this.
"Miss, please take a rest." Lutong walked over with an umbrella, "There are not a few people left, go for lunch first. I have already prepared some things in the teahouse in front."
Shangguan Wanning watched the rains become much lighter, and after prescribing medicine for the remaining patients, she went to the teahouse by herself.
She pushed open the door of the private room, and Lutong did not follow in, but walked away.
There were a few exquisite side dishes on the table. Shangguan Wanning was about to walk over when she suddenly felt her body tightening and being hugged from behind.
A familiar breath came, making her feel rippled.
She turned around and met Mu Jingrui's deep eyes. "Why are you here?"
"Come and see you."
Mu Jingrui never found the opportunity to meet Shangguan Wanning, and the pain of lovesickness almost torture him crazy.
He took Shangguan Wanning to sit at the table, served her a bowl of soup, and blew it cool down and handed it over. "Drink the soup first, then eat. This soup was specially made by the kitchen for you."
Shangguan Wanning tasted a few bites, and the taste was indeed in line with her wishes.
"By the way, I saw a list of officials who gave me medicine and porridge in my father's study a few days ago. It seems that it's your turn tomorrow, right?"
"Yeah." Mu Jingrui responded casually, sneering at this kind of spending money to buy fame, but had to adapt to the trend.
Shangguan Wanning suddenly remembered that she was going to the pharmacy shop to buy some medicine in the afternoon, so she spread her hands in front of Mu Jingrui.
"What are you doing?"
"Take out all the money you have on your body."
"What? Want to get me a betrothal gift in advance?" Mu Jingrui teased, but still put his purse in Shangguan Wanning's palm.
