She heard from Yu Qingliu that the empress had been suffering from an old illness for many years, often suffering from insomnia and night sweats, and her mental state was very poor.
She couldn't see the person inside because of the curtain during the day, but she could hear faint coughing sounds from inside, and the room was filled with the smell of medicine.
Ji Ziyin remembered that some incense and herbs also have the effect of concentrating qi and calming the mind, so she put her brain into this.
"What do you want this for?"
Ji Xiao asked this, but his body agreed honestly: "I'll ask someone to check if there is such a thing."
Ji Ziyin said "hmm", hung up the phone, turned back to lean against the dressing table, thought for a while, lowered her head to edit a message and sent it to Yu Qingliu.
[Mr. Yu, you said before that you would check the buyer at the auction that day. Have you found that person?]
When she saw the words "Sent successfully" on her phone, the emotions that had been pent up in her heart eased a little.
Ji Ziyin herself didn't know why, but she always had a strange feeling that Qiao Nian also went to the auction that day.
*
A five-star hotel in the city center of country M.
The Yu family’s car was parked in front of the hotel.
Yu Xinlan got out of the car, straightened her clothes, picked up her bag and went into the hotel lobby.
Several of her friends had arrived long ago.
Someone saw her, stood up and waved to her: "Xinlan, here."
Yu Xinlan spotted them and walked towards them.
Generally, there is a rest area under the hotel lobby. These places are equivalent to half an open cafe where you can sit down, drink water and chat.
Yu Xinlan invited seven or eight people in total this time, all of whom were second-generation people from the top circles in Country M, with similar status to her.
These people usually hang out in the Beichen Club area, and this is the first time they have chosen to have afternoon tea in the lobby of the hotel. Yu Xinlan just sat down and ordered a cup of coffee when someone looked her up and down and asked in confusion, "Why did you think of coming here to drink water today? Do you have friends living here?"
The others looked at Yu Xinlan, and it was obvious that they also wanted to know why Yu Xinlan insisted on having afternoon tea here.
Yu Xinlan's coffee was just delivered. It was not served in a cup, but a disposable paper cup.
She didn't even despise it. She slowly picked it up, put it to her lips and took a sip. Then she said with interest, "What kind of friends can I have living here?"
"and you…?"
Yu Xinlan put the paper cup of coffee on the table and said happily, "I just came here to watch the fun!"
The others couldn't understand what she was saying at all. They looked at each other and no one spoke for a moment.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Yu Xinlan took the initiative to change the subject: "Come to think of it, my grandfather almost asked me to bring someone here today."
She was complaining about Ji Zinyin's shamelessness in staying in her house and refusing to leave, but her eyes kept looking towards the elevator over the crowd.
She really wanted to witness the end of that miracle doctor with her own eyes.
"Who is it?"
"A person from an independent continent, staying at my house." Yu Xinlan mentioned Ji Ziyin with disdain on her face: "I heard that he is from a branch of the family. He always puts on airs in front of my grandfather. I am fed up with it. I guess he is another person who wants to climb up the social ladder..."
As expected, everyone's attention was drawn to the guest staying in her house, and they all started talking about this topic.
Seeing that they no longer asked why they came to the hotel for afternoon tea today, Yu Xinlan stopped talking. She basically just listened to what others said, occasionally interjecting a few words to liven up the atmosphere. The rest of the time she was waiting to see the show with great interest.
