Lan Guiren's palace lived in a relatively remote place, located in the Yixinyuan of the West Palace.
An Xiyue once commanded the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard for three full years, so she naturally knew what it meant to have a concubine living in the West Courtyard.
From this point of view, it is indeed not favored.
It is thousands of miles away from the emperor's palace. I heard that Concubine Qing lived directly in the emperor's palace. I am afraid that the empress will never be able to enjoy this honor.
The courtyard is neither rich nor prosperous, and looks pretty decent on the surface.
Along the way, Huan'er chirped and expressed how much she admired An Xiyue, who was beautiful and could dance so well.
As Huan'er spoke, he stood on tiptoes lightly and said with a smile, "Isn't this what the county master did just now?" Huan'er made several pirouette movements.
An Xiyue smiled and corrected: "Here it is, as long as you practice more, it will be very simple. Does Huan'er also like dancing?"
Huan'er's eyes were bright and she nodded repeatedly: "I like it, but it's a pity that I'm just a palace maid and don't have that blessing."
Seeing that the little girl was discouraged, An Xiyue comforted her and said, "If I have a chance, I will teach you."
Xiao Shi followed closely behind An Xiyue, feeling that Huan'er was as annoying as Xiu'er, the noise made her brain hurt, and her temperament was a bit colder.
Huan'er also felt Xiao Shi's unhappiness and murmured: "I'm afraid there is no such opportunity."
"Sister, what's your name? Why haven't I seen you before?" Huan'er suddenly said to Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi was too lazy to pay attention to her and went his own way.
An Xiyue was afraid that the two of them would be embarrassed, so she made an excuse: "I need a helper to diagnose and treat Mr. Lan, so I will invite this maid to come with me."
Because Xiao Shi's face said "Keep strangers away", Huan'er did not dare to say anything more and led An Xiyue and Xiao Shi into the inner courtyard.
Although the courtyard is bleak, it is still spacious and is divided into inner and outer courtyards, as well as left and right wing rooms.
The corners of the courtyard are filled with clusters of wild flowers. The flowers are golden yellow, small but lush.
An Xiyue knew that this kind of flower was actually a wild flower growing on the hillside, and it was rare to see it in the palace.
Huan'er took An Xiyue into the main room, which was deserted.
An Xiyue noticed that there were a total of five maids serving the inner and outer courtyards plus the cleaning ladies.
Lying on the bed was a haggard woman, her face so pale and lifeless.
"My lord, what's wrong with you? Do you have a stomachache again?" Huan'er quickly stepped forward to greet him, worried.
Lan Guiren lay on the bed holding her abdomen. She was sweating coldly from the pain, and there were endless tears in the corners of her eyes: "It hurts, it hurts so much, I'm going to die from the pain."
Seeing such a situation, An Xiyue was also shocked, "It hurts like this, please call the doctor."
"Please, please don't come..." Another maid said aggrievedly, and then shed tears.
An Xiyue quickly checked Lan Guiren's pulse. For a moment, An Xiyue frowned deeper and deeper. After checking her pulse, she said urgently: "How could this be? What did she eat?"
Perhaps because An Xiyue's voice was too cold and his eyes were so sharp, the palace maid was so frightened that she froze: "I haven't eaten anything. Lan Guiren has a stomachache for a long time..." She pretended not to know anything.
The palace maid was trembling a little, and An Xiyue couldn't care about anything else.
In an instant, An Xiyue lifted the brocade quilt covering Lan Guiren's body, and her body was covered with blood.
Lan Guiren was lying on the bed, feeling extremely painful and shouting repeatedly: "It hurts, it hurts, help me..."
