The first day in Rongcheng finally passed without any incident. Wenxiu got up early, stretched, prepared Wei An's clothes and jewelry, and then knocked on Wei An's door.
He had not had a good rest on the boat recently, and he had a big fright yesterday. Although Wei An was naturally not very scared, Lan He and the others were still determined to let Wei An have a good rest, so they deliberately delayed for some time to wake Wei An up.
But when they pushed the door open, they found that Wei An had already woken up and was sitting on the bed reading the letter that Lin Sanshao had sent on the boat. They couldn't help but say, "Miss, it's so hard for you to get a good night's sleep. Why don't you sleep a little longer? It's not too late now."
Knowing that they were worried about him, Wei An smiled and shook his head: "Let's get through this busy period. After this period, there will be plenty of opportunities to sleep well. There's no need to rush at this moment."
Su Ping quietly wrung out a handkerchief to wash her face without saying anything, but Wen Xiu couldn't help but grumble, "How can it be that easy? You make it sound simple, and you always say so, but I've never seen you really finish your work."
How could she finish all these things? No matter what time it was, she felt that health was the most important thing. If her body collapsed from exhaustion, then everything would be over.
Wei An is smart, but too smart. Wen Xiu is very worried about her.
Their master-servant relationship has always been very close, so Wei An didn't think there was anything wrong with Wen Xiu's complaints. He couldn't help but teasing her: "Our Wen Xiu is getting more and more virtuous as she grows older. She manages everything and knows everything."
Lan He, who came in with clothes in her hands, couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled: "That's right, your tattoo skills have really improved a lot. In the past, I had to learn everything except martial arts, but now I can do everything."
Wen Xiu felt a little embarrassed by the teasing. Wei An glanced at her and stopped teasing her. He lowered his head to read the letter from Lin Sanshao. After a while, he told Su Ping: "Prepare the pen and ink."
He immediately changed his clothes and washed up, then wrote a reply to Lin Sanshao and gave it to Su Ping: "Use our own method and let our own people deliver the letter. There can't be any mistakes."
All the letters to Young Master Lin were about important matters. Su Ping knew this and nodded solemnly.
Lan He was a little worried: "Miss, has something happened again?"
Now Wei An has made up her mind and has chosen Shen Chen. Most of the correspondence between her and Young Master Lin is about business matters, and when these people talk about business matters, it is usually extremely dangerous.
She was very worried because her boat was almost capsized yesterday.
Wei An hummed, and seeing that she was worried, he comforted her: "It's not a big deal, don't worry, even if there is a real fuss, it won't happen overnight."
Lan He became even more worried, but after Wei An said that, she knew she couldn't say anything more, so she could only sigh: "I am tired for you, young lady. One problem after another... I don't know when it will end..."
Are you tired
But you can continue to live even if you are tired.
If you die, then everything is gone.
Wei An has experienced death once and the departure of loved ones. She has long known that compared to life and stability, having the opportunity to tire is the greatest blessing.
She smiled, shook her head at Lan He, and after packing up, went to pay her respects to Old Madam Wei.
Old Mrs. Wei slept well last night. A breeze started to blow into the house in the middle of the night. With the help of calming incense and anthelmintic medicine, she managed to get a full night's sleep, which was a rare event for her.
Seeing Wei Anlai, she smiled and waved to call her over: "Didn't I tell you to rest a little longer? Why are you here so early?"
In fact, it was not that early anymore, the sun had already risen, but Old Mrs. Wei always treated Wei An like a child. She was obviously the one who attached the most importance to rules, but she wished that Wei An didn't have to follow them.
Wei An leaned his head against her chest and laughed: "If we continue to sleep, it will be noon. How can we let others know?"
Old Madam Wei burst out laughing: "What family? Why not just say it directly because you are afraid that Shen Chen will find out."
Wei An was not afraid of being found out by Shen Chen.
She never had to pretend to be anything in front of Shen Chen. She could just be who she was, comfortable and at ease.
But there was no need to talk about this with Old Lady Wei. She smiled and did not continue the topic. She changed the subject and talked about the letter she received from Young Master Lin: "I received it on the boat, but I didn't have time to read it because something went wrong during the people's sacrifice. So I didn't pay attention to it. I was too tired last night and didn't read it. I woke up early this morning and read the letter, and then I found out..."
She hesitated for a moment before coughing. "I just found out that Concubine Lin Shu's Sixth Prince has been vomiting milk recently. I changed several doctors but none of them worked. Later I found out that it was because the food the wet nurse ate was not very clean..."
Old Mrs. Wei was stunned.
She knew that the fighting in the palace would never stop and that this day would come sooner or later, but she did not expect it to come so soon.
Concubine Peng De couldn't hold back at all? She actually took action at this time.
Now the Sixth Prince is not even a hundred days old, and everything is unstable right now. You know, a small thing may cost the Sixth Prince's life.
But Concubine Peng De chose this moment to act...
But then again, from Concubine Peng De's perspective, she certainly wouldn't want the Sixth Prince to be alive. She hoped that he would die as soon as possible.
But this was too much, and too stupid and radical. In this way, she was actually forcing Emperor Longqing.
After Mrs. Wei recovered, she could not help but sneer. After all, Emperor Longqing's indecisive character was the most powerful knife. This knife killed little by little all the people he had favored and loved, but he himself was still unaware and didn't know where he was wrong.
She snorted, closed her eyes and asked Wei An: "Did Young Master Lin make it clear in the letter? Has this matter been investigated?"
"It has not been investigated." Wei An lowered his eyes. "The nurse tried her best to avoid involving others. She kept saying that she was ill and took a certain medicine to treat it. It should be because of this medicine that the Sixth Prince was affected. The emperor has ordered the Ministry of Punishment to deal with her. Although it has not been investigated, everyone knows that this matter must be related to Concubine Peng De."
After Wei An finished speaking, he whispered, "The prince has already taken action, or rather, Concubine Yu has played a role in this. She is facilitating the completion of this matter as soon as possible so as to make up for her mistake and redeem the previous assassination of Shen Chen."
But the process was too fast, and the Sixth Prince was even used. Concubine Lin Shu might not have feelings for Emperor Longqing, but how could she not have feelings for the child she had been carrying for ten months
