"Master, the fifth prince's concubine is here, do you want to see her?" The maid Xiuzhu walked in from outside and reported to Yao Wanyi with a complicated expression.
"Who are you talking about? Lan Ning? What is she doing here?" Yao Wanyi was leaning on the couch eating dates. When she heard that the fifth prince's concubine wanted to see her, she was also confused.
As we all know, she and Lan Ning had some disputes, and they were quite big.
She remembered that she had teamed up with Ma to accuse Lan Ning of secretly replacing the emperor's grandson in front of the emperor, and the stalemate between the two sides had reached the point of tension.
In the end, both she and Ma were punished, and their parents' families were also implicated.
Although this matter seems to have been over, the grudge between them cannot be eliminated.
What's more, Yao Wanyi is now pregnant with a child, and she feels that Lan Ning and the others are an eyesore, and they will inevitably have to fight overtly or covertly in the future.
So Yao Wanyi usually ignored Lan Ning and the others and was too lazy to make excuses.
"This slave also feels strange! So why did the fifth prince come to our house? And she specifically said that she must meet you." Xiuzhu frowned, "I don't know what kind of medicine she is selling in this gourd. ?”
"Otherwise, just refuse! Our master is inconvenient now, so it's okay not to see guests." Hanxiang said at the side.
"Then slave girl will go out and refuse." Xiuzhu said and turned around to go out.
"Wait a minute," Yao Wanyi called her, turning her one eye twice, "Night owls come into the house for any reason. This Lan Ning is the most sweet-faced and cruel person. I want to see what she is doing today?
Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I might as well use her to relieve my boredom. I don’t believe what she can do to me. "
"In this case, please invite her in," Xiuzhu said. "But no matter what she says or does for a while, master, don't be angry."
They thought that Lan Ning was probably here to deliberately cause trouble to make Yao Wanyi unhappy.
Lan Ning only brought two personal maids, who were gentle and calm. Even though they did not have extravagant decorations, they had a noble temperament.
Compared with her, Yao Wanyi is simply vulgar.
"How is your sixth brother doing?" Lan Ning asked with a smile, "I see that your complexion is getting brighter and brighter, which shows that this child is very filial."
"It's not bad," Yao Wanyi said, touching her belly with a half-smile, "I wonder what the fifth sister-in-law is here for today? I'm a very straightforward person, so if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
Yao Wanyi's behavior was rude, but Lan Ning didn't care.
Still smiling slightly, he said: "It's nothing, I just have some free time today to go out and walk around. I heard that the palace rewarded the fifth younger brother and sister a few days ago with a fine screen. I wonder if you can give me a favor so that I can take a look at it." ?”
Yao Wanyi couldn't help but sneer in her heart after hearing this. It turned out that Lan Ning came for the screen.
I must be greedy and want to have a fight. Needless to say, she naturally relied on her belly to succeed and gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson.
This person is lying when he says he is not greedy. He looked so noble in the past, but in fact he has nothing to rely on.
Now that I think I have gained power, I can't hide it anymore.
"So fifth sister-in-law is so elegant." Yao Wanyi raised her hand as she spoke, and a maid immediately helped her up.
Yao Wanyi moved like a mountain of meat and said in a light tone: "That thing is sitting in the back room! It's interesting to look at it when you have free time. But in the end, it doesn't mean much."
Yao Wanyi's bedroom is more than ordinary luxury, but it is too extravagant and seems to be exaggerated and artificial.
The double-sided Suzhou embroidered screen stood next to the beauty's couch, and the silk embroidery thread glowed with luxuriance.
"It's really exquisite," Lan Ning slowly walked closer and boasted casually, "even among the tributes, it's the best among the best."
When Yao Wanyi heard this, she just smiled and said nothing.
Lan Ning stood in front of the screen and observed carefully. The female maid who followed next to her said something close to her ear.
Lan Ning glanced at her and moved her face closer to the screen.
Yao Wanyi frowned disdainfully and ordered her men: "Go and bring a chair for the fifth princess so that she can sit and take a closer look."
"No need to bother," Lan Ning straightened up, turned to Yao Wanyi and said, "Sixth brother and sister, this screen seems to have been tampered with. You'd better call a doctor."
"What?" Yao Wanyi frowned even more tightly, "This is weird. I've been looking at it for two days, why didn't I notice anything wrong?"
"I'm not alarmist. This girl of mine is knowledgeable about pharmacology. She said that someone put musk on this screen." Lan Ning said, "That's why I asked you to find a doctor to confirm."
"Musk? Is this serious?!" When the people around Yao Wanyi heard this, they immediately raised their voices.
Everyone knows that musk is a taboo for pregnant women and can easily cause miscarriage.
Yao Wanyi covered her stomach with both hands, but she still had doubts: "Don't smell it wrong. The frame of this screen is made of sandalwood, so it naturally has a fragrance."
But she was also worried, because in the past two days, her stomach had occasionally felt tight.
She thought she was tired after entering the palace and just rested.
But if there really is musk...
"The smell of sandalwood is similar to musk," Lan Ning said. "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst. The sixth brother and sister are pregnant with the emperor's grandson now. There is no guarantee that someone will have bad intentions to harm you."
No matter how hostile Yao Wanyi was to Lan Ning, she would not dare to take advantage of the child in her belly.
So he immediately called for a doctor.
While waiting for the doctor to arrive, Lan Ning, Yao Wanyi and others were sitting outside.
When the doctor came and took a look, he said: "It was indeed smeared with musk ointment, and musk powder was stuffed into the cracks.
The scent of musk slowly evaporates. Although you don't inhale much every day, the water dripping from the rope sawing the wood will hurt your body for a long time. "
Yao Wanyi's face turned pale at this time, and she said in a trembling voice: "Who is so vicious and wants to harm my child? He and I are irreconcilable!"
"Sixth brother and sister, don't be anxious, beware of fetal irritation." Lan Ning advised, "I came today because I came to the palace yesterday, and Concubine Fu specially mentioned this matter.
Now that she is in charge of the imperial prison, this screen can be regarded as being taken out of her hands.
The empress was very careful and was afraid that there might be some mistakes, so she told me to come over and have a look.
This screen is in the inner room, and no one unless you are close to it can enter it on weekdays. Even in the past, when doctors came to check for pulse, they would only do it outside. What's more, the scent of sandalwood was mixed with it, so how could it be easily distinguished? "
"Hurry up and take that troubled boy out!" Yao Wanyi said with a blush, "I want to go into the palace and tell the Queen!"
Although she is fine now, it is really a fluke.
If it hadn't been for Lan Ning to break it, wouldn't she have to...
The people below were busy preparing to help Yao Wanyi change her clothes.
Lan Ning said: "Sixth brother and sister, when the matter comes to this, I will not enter the palace. You will explain everything clearly to the Queen."
Yao Wanyi glanced at her, and even though she was still unwilling, she thanked her and asked someone to send Lan Ning out of the house.
