During the time when Arina was unconscious, the one who served An Ruowan was Lingyu, the maid beside Arina.
Thinking of the spiritual jade, something strange flashed across Lu Ping's eyes, but she soon returned to normal. She took out a jade pendant from her waist, held it tightly in her hand, and walked towards Arina's bedroom.
In the past few days, Arina just felt annoyed because Lingyu kept talking in her ears, so she stopped letting Lingyu serve her personally.
When Luping came over, she happened to see Lingyu waiting outside the house, so she walked straight over.
Lingyu didn't realize who was standing next to her at first. After Luping tugged on her sleeve, she subconsciously looked back to the side.
"Sister Luping?"
The moment she saw the person in front of her, Lingyu hurriedly pulled Lu Ping towards the door.
"Why are you here?"
When they first entered the palace, Lingyu and Luping lived in the same room. It can be said that they followed each other all the way. However, later Lingyu was assigned to Arina, while Luping went to Concubine Shu waits by her side.
Since the two separated, they haven't seen each other for such a long time. Now that Lingyu saw Luping coming, her eyes were inevitably a little more excited.
But after getting excited, Lingyu suddenly remembered that Luping would never come here for no reason, and the smile on her face faded a little.
Seeing the change in the expression on Lingyu's face, Luping didn't take it to heart. The two of them were now their own masters, so naturally they couldn't be as close as before.
"I came here today because I have something to ask you."
Upon hearing what Lu Ping said, a flash of understanding flashed across Lingyu's face, and then he nodded towards her, signaling for her to continue.
"When His Highness woke up, he came here."
Hearing what Lu Ping was asking about, Lingyu's expression changed instantly. She didn't know why Lu Ping asked about it, but she still tried hard not to let Lu Ping see the flaw.
"Yes, but Concubine Shu's side..."
Hearing this, Lu Ping shook her head at her, then looked left and right, and stuffed the jade pendant in her hand.
Looking at the jade pendant in her palm, Lingyu's thoughts instantly returned to when she first entered the palace.
She didn't understand anything at that time, and Lu Ping was still behind many things to help her. When they parted, she took out the only valuable jade pendant on her body.
"I don't have anything valuable, so I'll give this to you."
What happened back then was still vivid in her mind. Looking at the jade pendant in front of her again, Lingyu understood what happened this time. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to help if she didn't want to.
Seeing the change in the expression on Lingyu's face, Luping knew that she didn't need to say more about what was going on.
"When His Highness came here, he brought a box of things?"
As soon as these words came out, Lingyu immediately understood that Luping was not here for Arina, but for An Ruowan.
After hesitating for a moment, Lingyu nodded.
"Do you know what's in the box?"
Hearing this, Lingyu couldn't help but have a flash of doubt in her eyes, but after being in the palace for so long, she also knew what things should be asked and what things should not be asked.
"I will inquire about this matter. Please go back quickly and I will find a way to contact you again."
For a while, Lingyu couldn't make up her mind, so she found an excuse to let Luping leave.
Looking at Lu Ping's back, Lingyu took a deep breath and looked around. After making sure that no one noticed the movement here, he quickly returned to the palace.
Lu Ping is Concubine Shu's eldest maid, but listening to Lu Ping's words, is it possible that Concubine Shu wants to take action against An Ruowan? But why.
Lingyu frowned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
That afternoon, Lingyu came to An Ruowan's side yard with some pastries. Perhaps because she had other thoughts when she came this time, Lingyu couldn't help but feel guilty when she came in.
When she came to the door of the room, Lingyu adjusted her expression and raised her hand to knock on the door.
An Ruowan was thinking about who would come here so early in the morning, but she never thought it would be Lingyu.
"What, but there is something wrong with Arina's health?"
An Ruowan frowned when she saw Lingyu coming over.
Lingyu waved her hand quickly, "I haven't been able to come over to visit the princess during this period of time. Please don't blame the princess."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lingyu leaned over and saluted An Ruowan.
Looking at the scene in front of him, An Ruowan felt that something was not right, "Okay, let's get up, but is there anything else?"
Listening to An Ruowan asking about this matter, Lingyu also knew that she came here rashly today. If she couldn't tell the reason, An Ruowan would definitely be suspicious.
"Princess, when you were treating the princess earlier, did you notice anything was wrong with her?"
Lingyu asked this question carefully, and after finishing speaking, she did not forget to bite her lips lightly and looked in front of her with a troubled expression.
"Do you suspect that this princess did something to Arina secretly?"
Hearing An Ruowan ask this question calmly, Lingyu's face was a little flustered. In fact, she didn't think so, but she just heard the conversation between the queen and Arina that day, so she casually looked for it. An excuse.
Now that he heard An Ruowan's question, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "I don't dare."
Seeing this, An Ruowan didn't take this matter to heart, but helped Lingyu up from the ground, "It doesn't matter, I don't take this matter to heart either."
Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when she heard An Ruowan's voice coming from above her head.
"However, Arina's situation has nothing to do with this princess. If you are suspicious, you might as well look for her in her dormitory. Maybe there will be an unexpected surprise."
After the words fell, An Ruowan left no more spiritual jade.
After exiting An Ruowan's courtyard, Lingyu subconsciously recalled what An Ruowan said just now, causing her to frown unconsciously.
On the way out, Lingyu didn't forget the main purpose of her visit today, and walked towards the room with things on the side.
Now there is still no one around An Ruowan, so where she puts these things, people can easily walk in.
After entering, a trace of guilt flashed across Lingyu's face, but she quickly found the box sent by Agudo, opened it and took a look, and she was stunned on the spot.
After a while, Lingyu came back to her senses, hurriedly closed the box, and then turned around and left in a hurry.
Lingyu walked in such a hurry that she didn't notice that a figure disappeared from here after she left.
Qingfeng came to Gu Beichen and bowed, and told him about Lingyu's strange behavior just now.
"You mean, she opened the things His Highness sent her and left after taking a look at them?"
Hearing this, Qingfeng nodded in agreement.
An Ruowan on the side only then remembered that Lingyu's behavior when he was in front of her just now seemed to be a bit nervous.
