Chapter 1011 Gathering

In the past, Grandma Zheng had always been very calm when in front of others. She had never lost her composure like this before, but now she was so excited that she couldn't contain herself.

"What is the relationship between Concubine Lan and Prince Chen?" Shao Wanru said straight to the point.

Grandma Zheng opened her mouth to ask, but she didn't know what to say. The princess's words were too direct, and she couldn't respond for a while.

Shao Wanru rolled his eyes at her calmly, and then asked, "Can't we talk about this relationship?"

This was a roundabout way of explaining the relationship between the two without being overbearing. Aunt Zheng nodded involuntarily. After nodding, her face immediately changed and she looked at Shao Wanru in horror.

"So, Concubine Lan is really related to His Highness?" Shao Wanru smiled slightly and asked again.

Aunt Zheng hesitated for a moment, nodded affirmatively, and pursed her lips vigorously. It was not her who said it, but the princess guessed it. She said nothing at the moment.

Seeing Aunt Zheng's look, Shao Wanru smiled, which meant that she couldn't tell, but she could ask.

"Concubine Lan has ill intentions towards King Chen?" Shao Wanru asked again tentatively.

Aunt Zheng was so anxious that she shook her head vigorously and looked at Shao Wanru anxiously. She didn't know how the princess came to such a conclusion. This conclusion was really fatal.

After following Shao Wanru for a long time, Nanny Zheng certainly knew that the master she was following was extraordinary. Although she was a weak and slender woman, she acted decisively and was sometimes more aggressive than men. She was also smart. The most important thing is that this princess is very popular with His Highness King Chen, and she is the person who is at the forefront of His Highness's heart.

If the princess misunderstood Concubine Lan, things would be really bad.

"That means that Concubine Lan is really kind to His Highness and will not harm His Highness?" Shao Wanru let out a gentle breath and asked slowly.

Concubine Lan was inexplicable and put a lot of pressure on her.

The Empress Dowager only knew about what had just happened, and Concubine Lan actually had a rough understanding of the matter. If it was the Empress Dowager, Shao Wanru didn't think there was any doubt, but Concubine Lan was someone who had been imprisoned for so many years. Concubine, it sounds like a place worse than the cold palace, how could she know?

And he was able to respond so quickly, which was not much better than when the Queen Mother came over.

This speed represents Lan Fei's strength, and it is definitely not what others have seen or guessed.

With such a person here, and if he harbors ill intentions towards Chu Liuchen, how can Shao Wanru feel relieved.

"Why is Concubine Lan so good to His Highness Prince Chen?" Shao Wanru thought for a while and asked again, his eyes falling tightly on Aunt Zheng, paying attention to her every move.

Aunt Zheng would definitely not answer this, but she could see something.

Sure enough, Aunt Zheng nodded anxiously, shook her head, and then looked at Shao Wanru anxiously, hoping that she could understand what she meant.

Shao Wanru's eyes became deep and fell on Nanny Zheng thoughtfully.

Concubine Lan? Concubine Lan, she had never seen her in her previous life. She was a high-ranking figure. She had no connection with a small painter like her, but she felt that she could trust her.

Can she really be trusted? This feeling is very subtle, but I can't explain why. I just feel that there seems to be some mystery in it.

He suppressed the doubts in his heart and said, "If you have anything in the future, can you ask Concubine Lan for help?"

This question was not about the relationship between Concubine Lan and Chu Liuchen. Aunt Zheng took a deep breath and replied hurriedly, "Yes, the princess can trust Concubine Lan. She will definitely help His Highness Prince Chen, as long as it is Concubine Lan will definitely protect the affairs of Prince Chen's Mansion, and she will never let Princess Chen suffer a loss."

This matter has nothing to do with the topic that cannot be discussed. Since Concubine Lan sent someone here today, it means the same thing. The purpose of expressing this meaning is not to misunderstand the princess.

"Concubine Lan protects His Highness Prince Chen, does His Highness Chen know?" Shao Wanru asked tentatively.

Aunt Zheng lowered her head with a bitter look on her face: "Your Highness does not want Concubine Lan to pay attention to him."

"If the Empress wants to punish me, will Concubine Lan help me?" Shao Wanru asked in another direction.

"Even if you are the empress, Concubine Lan will also help the princess!" Aunt Zheng nodded vigorously, fearing that Shao Wanru would not understand, so she nodded widely.

Compared to previous days, Grandma Zheng looked very excited today.

There was doubt in the depths of the water eyes, but his expression remained calm: "I understand, Aunt Zheng, please go down first. I have to go to the palace tomorrow, and I have to trouble Aunt Zheng to accompany me!"

"This is what an old slave should do!" Nanny Zheng nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. The princess was still willing to use her, which meant that the princess was not angry because of what she did today.

Shao Wanru waved her hand, and Grandma Zheng bowed respectfully and stepped back respectfully. When she stepped out of the door, her eyes could not help but turn red again, and she murmured a few words to herself, very softly, but it happened that Yujie quietly He walked over silently and heard a few intermittent words.

She originally wanted to say hello to Aunt Zheng, but Aunt Zheng looked very distracted and left in a hurry without looking around.

"Princess, I heard Aunt Zheng saying at the door, God bless me, Bodhisattva bless you...and then she started chattering. I didn't even hear what she said clearly!" After Yu Jie entered the door, she first talked about the palace maid. , and then mentioned Grandma Zheng.

"Yu Jie, what do you think of this Concubine Lan?" Shao Wanru asked thoughtfully.

"My maid feels that this Concubine Lan is good to Prince Chen's Palace. When I sent her away just now, the palace maid named Qingmu also kept showing goodwill to her." Yu Jie said, "My maid doesn't think that Prince Chen's Palace treats this Concubine Lan well. What's the use of the empress? I haven't heard that the empress Lan Fei has a prince?"

Shao Wanru nodded. She understood what Yu Jie meant. Concubine Lan did not have a prince, so she was destined to have no other ideas, and it was impossible for her to be in opposition to Prince Chen's palace. Was this a sincere expression of goodwill?

But Shao Wanru still doesn't understand that there is no unreasonable kindness in this world, there is always a reason, right? It's said that they feel like they are destined to meet each other as soon as they meet him, but that's not the case. Moreover, the ones who are really destined to be together should be Chu Liuchen and Concubine Lan.

The affairs of the palace have always been mysterious and cannot be guessed by others. The matter of Concubine Lan should wait until Chu Liuchen comes back.

What needs to be resolved right now is the matter at the Xingguo Hou Mansion. What to say to the Queen Mother when we enter the palace tomorrow is something we need to think about carefully...

Regarding Shao Jing's matter, not only was there a problem with Yan Xi, but Qin Yuru also had to be watched. She had a feeling that there must be news from Qin Yuru's side...

The next morning, after taking the medicine, Shao Wanru got up.

She had just vomited blood yesterday, and although she had rested for a day, her complexion was still not very good. Her usually pink and tender complexion was now a bit pale and frail.

Wearing a light blue dress, paired with a lavender eight-sided Xiang skirt, the waist is tied with a belt of the same color, which is slender and graceful. There is only a pearl hairpin on the head, and a small picture hanging from it. The pearls, with their delicate brilliance in their beauty, reflected that delicate little face, making it even more charming.

In addition to her face being too pale, her lip color is too light.

When you enter the palace from the side door, a palace sedan has been waiting there for a long time. "Princess Chen, the Queen Mother has asked you to ride in the palace sedan to avoid any harm to your body."

A eunuch from the Queen Mother's Palace stepped forward and saluted with a smile.

Shao Wanru nodded softly, and Yujie stepped forward and gave a purse, and said smartly: "Thank you, father-in-law. Our princess is indeed not in good health. She couldn't come here originally, but she thought that the Queen Mother must be anxious, so she forced herself to Those of you who are holding me up will be carrying the palace sedan in a while, so please slow down."

The eunuch took the purse with a smile on his face, reached out and pinched it, and immediately understood that it contained banknotes, "Don't worry, Princess, I will tell them to be careful. The Princess is not feeling well, but she still managed to come here, so she can't be tired anymore!" "

Aunt Zheng helped Shao Wanru sit down in the palace sedan, then stepped aside with Yu Jie and followed the palace sedan inside.

The walk was extremely smooth and slow. The original time to reach Cining Palace was roughly doubled.

When they arrived at Cining Palace, the maids beside the Queen Mother were already waiting there. When they saw Shao Wanru coming out of the palace sedan, they hurriedly came over to salute, and then led her to the main hall.

There were many people in Cining Palace today, and the one sitting at the top was naturally the Queen Mother. Next to her sat the eldest princess Ruian on one side, and on the other side sat the eldest princess Ruiping. Next to her sat the eldest princess Ruiping. Princess Yuan'an and the wife of the Marquis of Xingguo are also there, followed by several other ladies.

They all looked familiar, they were the older ladies among the ladies yesterday.

As soon as Shao Wanru came in, everyone's eyes fell on her. Seeing that her lip color was much lighter than before, Princess Ruian's eyes turned red with distress. In the past, the most outstanding thing about Shao Wanru was her rich and bright red color. The color of her lips was actually pale now.

Shao Wanru bowed to His Highness, and immediately someone from the palace came over to support her.

The Queen Mother kindly pointed to a chair next to Princess Ruian and said, "Sit down and talk first. It's not a good look like this!"

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Shao Wanru said softly, holding the palace attendant's hand and walked to Princess Ruian. He wanted to salute again, but Princess Ruian grabbed her and pulled her to a chair to sit down. "That's all." You look like this, why are you giving so many gifts? You went to the Xingguo Hou Mansion and ended up like this, your horoscope is really not compatible with the Xingguo Hou Mansion!"

After saying that, he glared at the Madam of the Marquis of Xingguo Mansion fiercely.

Mrs. Tai was also observing Shao Wanru. She didn't take it seriously at first. When she left yesterday, Aunt Yu said that although Princess Chen's complexion was bad, it was not too bad. But what was going on now? Shao Wanru's condition was very bad at first glance. He had obviously managed to survive by force, and he couldn't help but beat his heart.
