Chapter 178 You're hooking up with Concubine Xian
The dishes sent to Mrs. Wei were taken from Yanwan's share of the profits.
It came from the chef of the imperial kitchen, with special permission from the emperor.
The things were very good, but they were just left over from the day before yesterday.
Wang Chan carried a food box and personally delivered it to Madam Wei: "Madam, you have worked hard today. Get up and eat!"
Madam Wei's throat began to ache and her stomach churned just by hearing his voice, but she didn't dare to get up - because all the eunuchs in Yongshou Palace listened to Jinzhong!
Madam Wei wanted to ask for help from Aunt Gui, but Aunt Gui was already gone: "Well, Aunt Gui hasn't eaten yet, right? I'll wait for her to come and eat together!"
As long as Aunt Gui ate with her, she would be able to eat clean and delicious food.
Wang Chan smiled and said, "Empress Lingfei doesn't have a good appetite today. Please ask Madam Gui to make her some soup and side dishes. You can enjoy them by yourself!"
Mrs. Wei could only sit up, get off the bed, and sit stiffly beside the bed.
Wang Chan opened the lunch box.
Madam Wei: "...Ugh! You, you fished this out of the toilet?!"
Her face flushed: "Don't go too far!"
Wang Chan's expression changed, and he said coldly: "Old Madam really still hasn't learned her lesson. It turns out that her previous sensible behavior was all fake. Haha, originally this dish was just to test you. Since you are so unruly, then eat it all!"
Madam Wei: “…”
She wanted to shake her head to refuse, but Wang Chan coughed and four young eunuchs came in. It looked like they would pinch her mouth and force food into her if she didn't eat it herself.
She gritted her teeth in humiliation: "I'll eat it!"
She retched as she ate, finishing a chicken and a bowl of soup. She asked with a grim face, "Is this all right?!"
Wang Chan nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that the old lady has really grown sensible. Just have a good rest today."
He picked up the food box and personally dealt with the few remaining leftovers. He also washed the utensils, and then went to distribute the cold medicine sent by Doctor Jiang.
Mrs. Wei lay there for less than an hour before she began to run frantically to the toilet.
After running twice, she suddenly realized that Yongshou Palace was unusually quiet today, and the palace maids and eunuchs were nowhere to be seen.
She looked around furtively and saw that they had all gone to the small kitchen to wait to drink cold medicine and eat cakes together. They were all very happy.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Unfilial daughter! You are so considerate to these servants! Isn't this just using Zorlu's money to buy people's hearts?! You just wait for me!"
After she finished cursing, she covered her stomach with a grimace and ran to the toilet again. After a while, she picked up her skirt and ran out.
She didn't see it, but when she turned the corner, Wang Chan appeared at the door and went straight to the Yangxin Palace.
Chunchan pinched Yanwan's calf and said, "I never thought she would be so impatient."
Yan Wan was not surprised at all: "She has let me serve and support her for more than ten years. How could she tolerate me stepping on her head? And spending her son's money?"
Chunchan comforted her compassionately: "It's okay, my lady, you have the Queen."
Yan Wan said softly, "In order to make Concubine Xian believe that the Queen is angry with me and will not interfere in my affairs, I have not been able to visit the Queen for a long time."
She frowned her delicate eyebrows and said, "Empress Xian, you deserve to die!"
Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, the world would not allow Concubine Xian to die. She had to become desperate, get sick, refuse to seek treatment, and then kill herself.
She touched her belly and said, "I have to become a royal concubine sooner rather than later!"
Chunchan said softly, "My Lord, your wish will surely come true."
Yan Wan nodded and closed her eyes lazily: "Good Chunchan, please use more force, my legs are very sore and swollen."
……
In Yikun Palace, Ruyi looked at the person in front of her in surprise: "Madam Wei, it's been a while since we last met. How come you have become so thin?"
In fact, Mrs. Wei did not lose weight. Although she ate a variety of food, the food was really good. She was not allowed to run around, so she gained three times more weight.
But Madam Wei's eyes immediately turned red: "Empress Xian, I won't beat around the bush with you, just tell me! How are you going to deal with that unfilial daughter Wei Yanwan? I can help you!"
Ruyi was surprised, and her face was full of innocence: "What are you talking about, Madam Wei? How could I harm Concubine Ling? I brought you into the palace because I thought you could take good care of Concubine Ling. Only when the harem is peaceful can the emperor handle state affairs with peace of mind."
Madam Wei didn't believe it: "Empress Xian, please stop pretending. You are not the queen. You should only worry about how to win favor. Why would you worry about whether your mortal enemy is doing well? Let me be frank. I hate that unfilial daughter. As long as you are willing to pay, I will definitely help you deal with her!"
Ruyi looked helpless: "I really don't know why you think this way."
She said in a gentle voice, "Madam Wei, you should go back soon. Concubine Ling is pregnant and is most afraid of being frightened. If she can't find you and disturbs the fetus, her health will be bad again."
Madam Wei frowned, "You ladies love to speak in such an obscure way. I can only help you with some minor matters, but I can't directly abort that unfilial daughter. She is on guard against me!"
She was afraid that Ruyi would not believe her, so she said in a deep voice: "It is because you, Empress Xian, specially called me into the palace that the unfilial woman targeted me in every way!"
Ruyi's eyes flashed with impatience. She didn't like talking to people who talked about money all the time. She frowned and said, "Ling Yunche, you and Madam Wei are old acquaintances. Send her back and don't let Concubine Ling worry."
Ling Yunche, who was standing aside, wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and he hated himself even more for rushing over after hearing that someone had broken into the palace!
He wanted to run back, but Madam Wei had already seen him. She strode forward, her face full of shock: "Ling Yunche? It's really you! Your family said you were missing. Why are you here to be a eunuch?!"
Ling Yunche's face flushed: "Aunt, this involves royal secrets, don't ask too much."
Madam Wei's eyes flickered between Ling Yunche and Ruyi. Suddenly, she seemed to understand something. She was angry and sarcastic: "I was wondering why that stupid girl suddenly became the emperor's concubine and no longer wanted to marry you. It turns out that you hooked up with Concubine Xian and dumped her!"
Ling Yunche's face flushed red: "Aunt, be careful with your words! With this sentence, all nine clans of my Ling family will be wiped out! Our families are old acquaintances, and you and Zuo Lu are also considered one of my nine clans!"
Mrs. Wei choked and realized that she had said the wrong thing.
Sitting on the main seat, Ruyi's eyes flashed with brilliance, and then she hesitated for a moment.
It was not easy to get evidence that Wei Yanwan was trying to curry favor with the powerful and bully the weak, but as Ling Yunche said, if she really told it, Ling Yunche would definitely be implicated.
This made her not know how to choose.
