"My grandmother is dying?" Ji Youran asked in shock, almost unable to believe her ears. She just couldn't believe it at first. Like Qu Moying, the first thing she thought of was whether Madam Ji was trying to make trouble again.
In the past, in the inner courtyard of the Ling'anbo Mansion, Madam Ji had made such a fuss before. One time, she was so serious that she lay in bed for half a year, shouting every day that she was dying and asked for a doctor, as if she was going to die at any moment.
His uncle was extremely anxious and invited one doctor after another, including the imperial physicians from the palace. But one time, Ji Youran happened to see that after his uncle left, his grandmother got up from the bed in good health. Her waist and back didn’t hurt anymore. She had been saying that she couldn’t eat, but now she ate two bowls of food and added her favorite pastries.
This wasn't the case of dying. Ji Youran felt that even if she died, her grandmother would be fine.
It's already this late, and why is my grandma still making a fuss? I feel a surge of resentment in my heart. My uncle is gone, so who is my grandma making such a fuss for
"I heard that he was angered by Miss Liu from the General Fuguo's Mansion and then suddenly fell ill." said the eunuch.
Ji Youran has tried not to move these days. She still knows a little about what's going on in her own house, but she's not that sensitive to what's happening outside.
"Miss Liu from the General Fuguo's Mansion is the one who is going to marry King Jing?" Ji Youran asked after thinking for a while.
"Yes, Concubine, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant that since Madam Ji is in this condition now, you, as her granddaughter, must go there even if you are not feeling well."
The eunuch explained Pei Luoan's meaning a little more clearly.
Ji Youran's face turned slightly pale. She actually didn't believe it was true, but she couldn't refuse. She just felt that Madam Ji was really annoying. After so many years, she still didn't know what she was making a fuss about. It was not enough that she had made her son die, now she wanted to make trouble for her granddaughter.
It would be better for her to die early. Can she go out freely at this time
She reached out and touched her belly, and felt that it was a little big. She thought it was even more inappropriate to go out now, especially not to let the Crown Princess find out.
This was the child she had saved with great difficulty, and she had saved it by borrowing Ji Hanyue's name.
"What else did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say?" Ji Youran asked after a long while. She didn't dare to disobey Pei Luoan's words, but she still had to ask clearly.
She knew this eunuch, and he was indeed the prince's confidant, otherwise she would not have let him in just now.
"Your Highness, please go early and come back early, and be careful on your way." The eunuch smiled and said just enough. Some of the words were beyond the ability of a commoner like him to interpret.
How much you can understand depends on what the Concubine wants.
"Go now?" Ji Youran frowned tightly.
"I heard that Madam Ji is dying." The eunuch said with a smile.
Ji Youran walked around the place for a while, then stopped and took a deep breath. "Go and ask someone to prepare a carriage. I'm going to the Ling Anbo Mansion to see my grandmother now."
"When I came here just now, I had already asked someone to prepare it. Your Majesty, the Concubine just needs to take the people with her." The eunuch said politely.
Ji Youran now hated the fact that this kind of courtesy was not there. She felt uneasy in her heart. What kind of person was her grandmother? How could she be so angry with Miss Liu from the General's Mansion? She really didn't believe it, but she had to go. She couldn't even tell the prince that her grandmother might be faking illness.
Heart
Feeling restless, he pinched the handkerchief in his hand a few times, then relaxed, then pinched it a few more times, and finally decided to go over and take a look immediately.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, I will only stay in Ling Anbo's mansion for a short while. If I am going to die, I'd rather die early and not make it like this.
An old woman, she is of no benefit to the family and herself. If she dies, she dies. There is no need to implicate the baby in her belly. This is her only hope. I really don't understand if this old woman understands this.
Since the carriage was already ready, Ji Youran wrapped himself in a thick quilt and asked two maids to help him go out. He looked like he was seriously ill.
In order to appear to be unwell, she even applied several layers of thick white powder on her face, making her look pale without a trace of blood.
In fact, Ji Youran has been living a good life recently. Thinking about the endless possibilities in the future, she even spent more on food, and the expenses on other snacks also increased.
Pei Luoan also took special care of her, and the kitchen prepared meals for her with all their heart, for fear that this "seriously ill" concubine would not eat well and something might happen.
During this period of time, Ji Youran has become a lot rounder and actually looks a bit pregnant.
After getting on the carriage of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, the carriage left the mansion and hurried straight to the Ling Anbo Mansion. Ji Youqi's expression in the carriage was very ugly. The more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed.
If Pei Luoan had no intention in this, she would want to go home at this time.
Finally, the carriage stopped at Ling Anbo's mansion. Ji Youran got off the carriage with the help of her maid. She looked around and saw that there were people from her own mansion everywhere. She no longer pretended to let the two maids support her, and simply let go of her legs and walked towards Madam Ji's place in the backyard.
Mrs. Ji had already received the news and knew that her eldest granddaughter was coming. She was overjoyed and asked someone to pick her up while she tidied up the place herself.
In order to pretend to be sick, she left the medicinal herbs here untouched. The whole yard was filled with the smell of medicine. There were also three invited doctors waiting in a room on the side. Madam Ji sent them all away and waited for her granddaughter to come in a clean and tidy manner.
As Ji Youran entered the room, his nose was filled with a strong smell of medicine and his eyes were slightly stunned. Could it be that this time it was real
He followed the old woman with a sullen face, entered the house, and turned into the inner room. When he saw Madam Ji sitting on the bed with a smile on her face, he became furious.
What do you mean by being in good spirits? If you are in good spirits and are dying of a serious illness, how many of those people talking about this on the street can say that they will live long
"Grandma, why is this?" Ji Youran asked with a gloomy face.
"Your Majesty, please sit down and talk." Madam Ji said happily. She finally brought her granddaughter out. She felt a sense of accomplishment and was very happy.
It was true that she hadn't seen Ji Youran for some time.
"Grandma, I want to ask you why this is happening?" Ji Youran had no intention of sitting down and continued to ask in a cold voice.
The smile on Madam Ji's face slowly faded. She finally sensed Ji Youran's displeasure and her expression also became unhappy: "What's going on? I finally allowed you to go home once, but why do you act as if it's my fault? You've been in the East Palace for so long, and there's been no news during this period. My family is so worried..."
"I'm fine, but... what's the matter now?" Ji Youran interrupted Madam Ji rudely and continued to ask, the silk thread on the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn from being pinched.
.
If she didn't hold the handkerchief in her hand, Ji Youran was afraid that she would lose control and would want to push the old woman on the bed away. Did this old woman know what she was doing
"What do you mean by why? It's the young lady from the General's Mansion who wanted to see your second sister's dowry list. She wanted to see it for reference. She's not the Crown Princess, so what's the point of reference? I thought you haven't been here for a while, and I was afraid that the new Crown Princess would embarrass you, so I just did it like this. No matter what, you will definitely be released from the East Palace."
Madam Ji was in a bad mood. She leaned back on the thick cushion and said unhappily.
"If it wasn't for you, do you think your grandmother would be willing to suffer so much? The one from the Liu Mansion will marry into the Jing Palace in the future, and you and I are naturally incompatible. I am using this matter to allow you to come out, and on the other hand, to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince value you more."
She had cheated the young lady of the Liu family once, so the prince must like her and will value Ji Youran more in the future. This is what Madam Ji thought.
That was also the reason why she did it without hesitation that day.
"So, you are pretending to be... sick?" Ji Youran said almost word by word.
"What do you mean by pretending to be sick? The doctors all said that I have a heart disease and cannot get too angry. I am old too, so I should focus on recuperation. Otherwise, something bad will happen. How can I be pretending to be sick?" Mrs. Ji was repeatedly suspected by Ji Youran. She pointed at the chair beside her and said, "If you have something to say, sit down and talk. Why are you so angry now?"
"I'm not acting like a fool, but what about grandma? Why is grandma making such a fuss at this time? I'm fine in the East Palace, I don't need you to worry about me anymore, and I don't need you to do such a trick. That Miss Liu is the queen... If we have to deal with her, it's the Crown Princess. How can my family be so arrogant as to do such a thing?"
Ji Youran's words were almost squeezed out from between her teeth.
This grandmother has never been a worry-free person, but in the past it was her uncle who was making trouble, but now it is herself who is making trouble. When her uncle is being made trouble, she just watches the fun from the side, and sometimes she even fans the flames a little. She feels secretly happy when she sees her grandmother "livelyly" making trouble for her uncle.
Now, when it was her turn, she realized that she wished the old woman would die.
Not only is she completely useless, but she also holds herself back. She has to deal with the young lady of the General's Mansion, and the future Prince Jing's Mansion. Does she still think that the current Marquis Ling'an Mansion is still the same Marquis Ling'an Mansion as before
"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Ji was repeatedly questioned by her granddaughter and became annoyed. She patted the edge of the bed vigorously and said, "Do you think I was wrong to use some method to bring you out?"
"Is it wrong? Grandmother, don't you know? Grandmother, you can drink and sleep in the mansion every day, but don't you know what people outside are talking about our mansion? We are just the Ling Anbo Mansion now. Without my uncle and my second sister, I am the only one left. I have to rely on myself to hold on. Grandmother, don't you understand the meaning of this?"
Ji Youran sneered, looking down at Madam Ji, "If grandma really wants to make trouble, then go to uncle's grave. I heard that grandma has never visited uncle once since then. Now you can go. Maybe uncle misses grandma too."
After Ji Youran finished speaking, she turned around and left without even glancing at Madam Ji, whose face had suddenly turned pale. She felt that the longer she stayed here, the less safe it would be...
