Mrs. Wei's grudge against the old princess had dissipated a little because of what happened before. Plus, she had become close to Wei An recently and couldn't bear to make things difficult for him, so she readily allowed Wei An to go to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion and asked someone to go down and pack her things.
Nanny Chen's face was haggard. When she saw Wei An, she stepped forward and bowed first, but she no longer tried to talk to Wei An happily as before. After everything was packed up, she stood up hurriedly, as if she couldn't sit still for a moment.
Wei An knew that the old princess must be seriously ill, otherwise Nanny Chen would not have lost her composure like this. She deliberately asked Nanny Chen to get on the carriage with her, and when Nanny Chen was seated, she asked her: "Mom, why did grandma suddenly get sick? She was fine when you came to see me a few days ago..."
Nanny Chen's smile was a little forced, and she shook her head at her: "She's old, it's unavoidable..." She cheered up and said to Wei An: "She has been talking about you. I heard that Tongzhou was not peaceful recently. She was very scared and kept shouting for the princess to send someone to pick her up. However, when a group of people went, they were stopped. They said that Tongzhou was under strict martial law..."
Wei An felt a little sad, and he held back his tears and hummed: "I heard everything..."
The guilt and sadness in her eyes made Nanny Chen feel a little bit sorry. Thinking about the cause of the old princess's illness, she felt annoyed and could not help but repeatedly remind Wei An: "It's almost the prince's birthday. You have always been sensible. Why don't you think more about what the prince likes..."
At this time, they suddenly talked about Zhuang Feng's birthday? Wei An grasped the key point very keenly: "Mammy, is it because..." She thought about it, whether it was Mammy Chen or the old princess, they actually didn't make it clear that they wanted to marry her to Zhuang Feng, so she didn't say anything more, and nodded instead: "I know."
Nanny Chen looked at her hesitantly, and finally said nothing. She just sighed heavily, and when they arrived at the place, she gently helped her down and led her inside.
The old princess was being served medicine by Princess Zhennan. When she saw Wei An, she waved at her. When Wei An came to her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you're okay..."
As soon as she arrived, everyone else became dispensable in front of the old princess. Princess Zhennan smiled knowingly, stood up and said goodbye to the old princess: "I'll tell the kitchen to prepare some dishes that An An likes. We didn't make it to her birthday, so we have to prepare some things she likes. When she is free in the afternoon, I will ask the shopkeepers of the Embroidered Treasure Pavilion and the Clothing Shop to come in and let her pick out some things she likes..."
Princess Zhennan had always been very generous to the old Princess Zhennan.
But this time, she did not get the old princess's smile and approval as usual. The old princess held Wei An in her arms with one hand, looked at her indifferently, and said after a moment of silence: "Send someone to pick up Feng'er as soon as possible, so that he doesn't have to go to school these days. Think about what I said to you before."
The smile that Princess Zhennan always had on her face froze for a moment, and then she still responded respectfully and obediently.
After she turned around and walked out of the door, the old princess touched Wei An's hair and said, "Tongzhou is not very peaceful. I hope it didn't affect you?"
After the Zhu family's affairs were settled, Wei An followed Old Lady Wei to Tongzhou. There were many things the old princess did not have time to ask clearly. She originally wanted to ask them in detail, but after she fell ill, she did not want to ask anything. As long as Wei An was safe and sound, it was better than anything else.
But she was not a fool. Of course she could see that the Zhu family's plot was directed at the Wei family, and she felt extremely uneasy. After all, Princess Changning married the Wei family's eldest son, and Wei An was also surnamed Wei. If something happened to the Wei family, it would inevitably affect them.
Wei An knew she was worried and felt guilty. He leaned in her arms, hugged her waist and shook his head, "No..." Seeing that the old princess didn't believe him, he felt sad that he didn't trust her, and hurriedly said, "Although there was, Cao Wen lost the challenge to Young Master Lin, and in the end he had no choice but to run away with his tail between his legs."
The old princess couldn't help laughing at her description: "You haven't even entered the capital yet, but the news has spread back to the capital. I heard that King Zheng was assassinated. When I thought you were all in Tongzhou, I knew something bad might happen. If Cao Wen, this vile seed, can't find anything, he will definitely frame someone nearby. He is also a lawless person..."
She sighed and thought: "Fortunately, it was Young Master Lin who I met."
Wei An felt very strange. The old princess said this as if she was very familiar with Third Young Master Lin. He asked her doubtfully, "Do you know Third Young Master Lin?"
"Of course I know him." The old princess knew that Wei An had grown up a lot without her knowing, so she wanted to teach her many things slowly, telling her: "You know he is a concubine's son..."
Seeing Wei An nod, he put on a cold smile again: "In terms of age, he is actually about the same age as my grandson. Even if Lord Qinghe sees me, he has to call me aunt. There was a lot of trouble in their mansion at the beginning, and Young Master Lin had a difficult time. I helped him out before, and this child is a kind person."
No wonder Third Master Lin always had extraordinary patience towards her in his previous life, and said that it was to remember a favor. It turns out that this favor was with the old princess.
Wei An leaned his head on the old princess' chest and changed the subject, asking her, "Grandma, why did you suddenly become ill? Has the imperial physician come to see you? Is everything serious?"
The old princess didn’t live long in the previous life, and Wei An was very worried.
The old princess rested her chin on Wei An's head. A hint of gloom and dissatisfaction flashed across her eyes for a moment, but she quickly covered it up and said to Wei An with a smile, "When you get old, it's inevitable to have major and minor illnesses. The imperial physician has seen it. It's an old problem, not a big deal."
Although she looked haggard, her voice still sounded strong and she certainly didn't look seriously ill. Wei An felt relieved for a moment, but then he thought of Nanny Chen's worry and haggardness and the strange behavior of Princess Zhennan just now, and felt that something was wrong.
If the situation wasn't so tense because of the old princess' illness, then what was the reason
"Just An An." The old princess called her again, stretched out her hand to push her a little further away, and looked at her face: "Grandma always treated you as a child before, but now you have your own ideas, so there are some things that grandma will not hide from you. Last time, grandma asked Nanny Chen to go to Tongzhou to pick you up and let you prepare to celebrate your cousin's birthday. Do you know why?"
There was no one else in the room, so the old princess was planning to have a brief talk with Wei An... Upon hearing this, Nanny Chen turned her gaze to Wei An and saw him nod slowly.
