422 Sickness
Wu Guifei is sick, and Wu Qingyue, as a daughter-in-law, should enter the palace to serve the sick.
It's just unfortunate that Wu Qingyue fell ill by herself.
Wu Qingyue called Su Lanyan over.
During the period of Wu Qingyue's illness, with the consent of King Lu, Su Lanyan took care of the affairs of the palace.
Originally, Wu Qingyue's illness was better and she was in good spirits, so she told Zhou Xinghao that she wanted to take back the power of the family, but Zhou Xinghao refused and let her continue to cultivate.
Wu Qingyue fell ill again in a fit of anger.
The condition has been good and bad until today.
Su Lanyan came over, wearing a homely moon-white robe.
Xu is because of the master, the whole person is full of majesty.
Wu Qingyue's eyes flashed slightly, remembering that when Su Lanyan came to the palace, she was just a submissive little maid, but she didn't even have a name at that time, and she didn't have a royal jade plate.
After a while, I will be promoted to a side concubine.
Wu Qingyue's gaze moved downwards and landed on Su Lanyan's flat lower abdomen.
In a few months, Zhou Xinghao's first child will be born.
If it's a boy......
Fortunately, because of the last miscarriage, this time Su Lanyan's pregnancy was not said, it was her eyeliner buried in the Shuifang Courtyard that whispered to her, and she just didn't know.
Wu Qingyue closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she returned to her former gentle appearance like a spring breeze.
"I came to you this time because I wanted you to enter the palace to serve the concubine. I'm not going to get better for a while. ”
Su Lanyan's hand rested on her lower abdomen involuntarily, and soon hung down to her side again, "It's just that the concubine still has to help take care of the affairs of the palace, I'm afraid I can't get out." ”
Wu Qingyue smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, the housekeepers and grandmothers in the palace are not vegetarians." And my body is much better, and I can read the ledger. ”
Knowing that he couldn't refuse, Su Lanyan had no choice but to respond.
When she returned to Shuifangyuan, Rose hurriedly said, "You have ...... in your stomach How can you enter the palace to serve the sick? When the prince comes back, you can talk to the prince. ”
Su Lanyan nodded.
However, Zhou Xinghao has been so busy recently that Shenlong has not seen the end of the dragon, and he has been resting at the Xishan camp for several days.
As a last resort, Su Lanyan had no choice but to enter the palace.
Anyway, there are big rules in the palace, and it is impossible for her to do everything herself.
When she saw Concubine Wu again, Su Lanyan was startled.
Wu Guifei has aged a lot, and even when she has no expression on her face, she has a few wrinkles.
The hands, which used to be so well maintained, were dry and wrinkled, like a rose that had begun to wither.
However, Concubine Wu's eyes were still very bright and energetic, "Stand down, you come to me." ”
The palace people went out, Su Lanyan walked to Wu Guifei's side, saw the half-drunk medicine bowl on the coffee table, and asked, "Mother, concubine, will you drink medicine." ”
"No need," Wu Guifei's voice was calm and indifferent, "I heard that you helped Hao'er in business?" The shops have all opened outside the capital, and there are even those at the border? What kind of business is there at the border? ”
Su Lanyan's heart moved, Wu Guifei asked her like this, she must have found it out in private.
She said truthfully: "At the border gate, I am doing some fur business, and I am also going to open a wine shop. ”
Su Lan looked at Wu Guifei's face, ready to wait for Wu Guifei to be furious.
After all, what she did was too out of line.
Ran Wu Guifei didn't get angry, but smiled, and said meaningfully: "Those shops are all your people, and it's most convenient to pass on the news." ”
Su Lanyan hung her head and did not speak.
Wu Guifei's eyes were sharp, "I want you to help me deliver the news!" ”
Su Lanyan said meekly: "The concubine body doesn't have that much ability, the concubine wants to pass on the news, it's better to tell the prince, the prince will definitely help you." ”
Wu Guifei sneered, "Don't tell me this, you just need to say yes or no." ”
Su Lanyan had no choice but to say: "The concubine is naturally willing, but I don't know what news the concubine let the concubine pass on, and to whom?" ”
Wu Guifei leaned over to Su Lanyan and whispered a few words.
Su Lanyan's face changed dramatically, no matter how bold she was, she also knew that what Wu Guifei wanted her to do was betrayal, and once she found out, she would be executed immediately, and it was useless for anyone to intercede.
Even if she is pregnant, when the child is born, she will die.
Su Lanyan's heart was pounding, "Mother, the concubine is really ...... It's ......."
Wu Guifei snorted, "Do you think you have any other choice?" Don't you think about yourself, don't you think about the child in your belly? ”
Su Lanyan raised her eyes in surprise.
Did the news of her pregnancy reach Wu Guifei's ears?
Wu Guifei was very satisfied with Su Lanyan's reaction, "If you refuse to help me, but you already know those things, I have to silence it." It's a pity that my grandson will go with his confused mother before he comes into this world. ”
As a mother, Wu Guifei knows best how to hold Su Lanyan.
Su Lanyan's face turned pale, her lips moved, but she couldn't say a word.
In the end, under the coercion and temptation of Concubine Wu, Su Lanyan still responded.
On the second day, Su Lanyan asked Rose to enter the palace to bring her some clothes on the grounds that she was short of some clothes.
Then, in front of Concubine Wu Guifei, Su Lanyan handed over a secret letter to Rose, and asked Rose to hand it over to Ji Huixin, so that it must be sent to the shopkeeper at the border gate as soon as possible, and then let the shopkeeper hand it over to the person who will eventually give it according to the method mentioned in the letter.
Rose was loyal, and after leaving the palace, she went directly to Ji Huixin.
handed over Su Lanyan's handwritten letter and the secret letter to Ji Huixin, and relayed Su Lanyan's words.
and repeatedly told Ji Huixin that the secret letter must not be opened.
Ji Hui's heart responded, she opened Su Lanyan's handwritten letter and saw that it was really Su Lanyan's handwriting.
The steps written above are very cumbersome, probably for the sake of secrecy.
Ji Hui took notes while reading it, and suddenly his spirit was shocked.
In the past, Su Lanyan and her two studied a set of ciphertexts that only the two of them knew.
Ji Huixin hurriedly took the pen and paper and took notes while reading.
After seeing the line of words finally written on the paper, Ji Huixin stood up in fright, and hurried out without even changing her clothes.
She went straight to Meng's house to find Yun Jiao and asked Yun Jiao for help.
After reading the letter, Yun Jiao's expression was solemn: "It's a pity that although I am the county lord, the affairs of the palace are not something I can interfere in." In this matter, I can only go to the prince for help. ”
Ji Hui said anxiously: "But I can't see the prince either, I heard that the prince hasn't returned to the capital for several days." ”
Yun Jiao was also anxious, and suddenly, she remembered someone.

Although it was spring, the weather was still cold and hot, and both children had some coughs.
