[Huh? Why did Prince Su's adopted daughter come to the Crown Prince's mansion to be a maid? ]

[Her name is not Yan'er at all, her name is Yanru! ]

Concubine Xiao: ???

What on earth was Lu Fengyi thinking about?

Prince Su is the younger brother of the current emperor and has a noble status. Princess Su is not incapable of bearing children. They have two sons and two daughters and are treated with great honor and pampering.

How could Prince Su adopt someone else's daughter?

wrong.

Concubine Xiao was almost fooled by her own subconscious rebuttal. She almost forgot that everything Lu Fengyi thought in his mind was true!

[Is it possible that just based on Zhang Liangyuan's identity, it is worth it for Prince Su to send his adopted daughter to win her over? ]

[Or is it just a coincidence that Yan Ru appeared next to Zhang Liangyuan? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao was flipping through the system while thinking in her mind.

Originally, she just wanted to see why Yan'er acted so flustered in front of Concubine Xiao, but unexpectedly, she found out that Yan'er's identity was not simple.

Concubine Xiao's thoughts were instantly drawn into conspiracy theories by Lu Fengyi.

Unconsciously, Concubine Xiao's eyes gradually became scrutinizing as she stared at Yan'er.

Yan'er lowered her head in fear, looking helpless.

After a moment, Concubine Xiao slowly looked away and said in a cold voice, "Move aside, I want to go in and take a look at Zhang Liangyuan."

"Lu Fengyi, come in together."

Hearing such a cold tone, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shiver: "..." It's a bit cold.

[It's over. Concubine Xiao, could it be that she really suspected that I was the one who made Zhang Liangyuan so sick that she couldn't get up? ]

Concubine Xiao almost couldn't maintain the cold expression on her face.

Lu Xiaoxiao hurriedly stepped forward and stood beside Concubine Xiao. She showed a well-behaved smile on her face: "Concubine, I am here."

[Forget it. Once I get in, I can only deal with them as they come. If I really can’t handle it, I’ll just give up and wait for the Crown Prince to come and save me.]

[I remember that His Highness arranged for Xie Shiqi to hide in the dark to protect my safety. It's OK. My life should be safe!]

Concubine Xiao: "..."

It's another day of being a bad guy in someone's heart.

Concubine Xiao took a deep breath, without even looking at Lu Fengyi, she stepped over the threshold and walked into the room.

Yan'er retreated tremblingly.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoxiao hurriedly followed.

The maids of the two masters also followed in.

As soon as she came in, Lu Xiaoxiao smelled a strong medicinal smell, which was a bit unpleasant, with a faint stench of decay.

A little weird.

But before Lu Xiaoxiao could figure it out, she saw Concubine Xiao and two maids walking around the screen and entering the inner room.

Yan'er, who was originally guarding on one side, also quickly followed in, "My Lady Concubine, my master is sleeping. If you are all right, please do not disturb my master."

Lu Xiaoxiao glanced forward and then retracted her gaze. She turned sideways and called out to Bai Zhi: "Bai Zhi, you stay here first. Chen Wu can come in with me."

"Yes, master."

Baizhi and Chenwu responded at the same time.

Afterwards, Lu Xiaoxiao brought Chen Wu into the inner room.

The closer you get, the stronger the smell of medicine becomes.

"My Lady Concubine."

Concubine Xiao was standing beside Zhang Liangyuan's bed. Lu Xiaoxiao approached her, but stood a small step behind her.

[What disease did Zhang Liangyuan have? If it was just a cold, then even the court doctor and the imperial physician wouldn't be helpless, right?]

Sensing the movement around her, Concubine Xiao tilted her head, looked up at Lu Xiaoxiao, and said casually, "Lu Fengyi, come and take a look."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yan'er, who was standing aside, secretly glanced at Lu Fengyi, then quickly looked away.

Looking at Zhang Liangyuan lying on the couch, Yan'er looked worried.

[What are you looking at? I'm not a miracle doctor.]

Lu Xiaoxiao secretly complained in her heart.

"Yes."

But now that the concubine had spoken, Lu Xiaoxiao responded and took a half step closer to the bed, pretending to look at Zhang Liangyuan's face.

The pale face had a hint of blue.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like Zhang Liangyuan is about to die.

[If I hadn't been able to feel Zhang Liangyuan breathing, I would have almost thought she was dead.]

Concubine Xiao agreed with this.

She never liked coming to Mingzhu Courtyard, and she was too lazy to compete with Zhang Baozhu for the Crown Prince. Therefore, Concubine Xiao rarely saw Zhang Baozhu.

Ever since she learned that Zhang Baozhu was ill, Concubine Xiao had never thought of coming to Mingzhu Courtyard to visit her in person. Only today, when she made an appointment with Lu Fengyi, would she make a special trip.

Unexpectedly, the moment she saw Zhang Baozhu, Concubine Xiao was really frightened. Seeing that Zhang Baozhu was in such a dying state, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they had to prepare a coffin for her and prepare for her funeral.

"Didn't they say before that Zhang Liangyuan just had a cold? Why did she..." become like she was about to die now?

Lu Xiaoxiao swallowed the rest of the sentence. She looked at Yan'er standing by with a puzzled look, "As a maidservant beside Zhang Liangyuan, are you taking good care of her?"

"Also, I remember that Zhang Liangyuan had a personal maid, Cai'er, by her side? Why are you the only one guarding her now?"

Hearing this, Concubine Xiao also spoke up, "Where did Cai'er go?"

She also remembered Cai'er, the maid who served Zhang Liangyuan.

Yan'er's face changed slightly, her knees softened and she knelt on the ground. As soon as she opened her mouth, the tears that had been rolling in her eyes fell instantly, "To answer the question, Madam Concubine, ever since my master fell ill, the servants in the mansion have deliberately avoided Mingzhu Courtyard. Now that my master is not feeling well, even if he wants to eat something good, he cannot get it back from the kitchen."

"Cai'er has been in the kitchen for a long time and has not come back."

"Please ask the Concubine to make the decision for my master!"

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

[I almost got cheated again. ]

Concubine Xiao:?

What got cheated again?

Concubine Xiao glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao calmly. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard Lu Xiaoxiao's mumbling again:

[Cai Er has clearly left the house, but she is still lying to me and Concubine Xiao, saying that Cai Er went to the kitchen! ]

[However, Zhang Liangyuan is ill now. Why did Cai'er go out instead of staying in the mansion to take care of Zhang Liangyuan? ]

[Good fellow, I didn’t know until I saw it, Cai Er actually——]

Concubine Xiao's expression suddenly turned cold: "You are so brave!"

Hearing this, Yan'er was delighted.

I didn't expect Concubine Xiao to be so angry. It seems that Concubine Xiao believed what she said.

Not knowing when Cai'er would be able to come back, she decided to delay Cai'er's time for a while, so as to prevent Concubine Xiao from noticing anything was wrong.

Yan'er hurriedly continued to fan the flames, choking with sobs: "As long as the Concubine can make the decision for my master, no matter what the Concubine asks me to do, I will be willing to do it..."

Concubine Xiao still had a cold expression, as if she was very angry: "Really?"

Lu Xiaoxiao was watching the show nearby and couldn't help but sigh: "Yan'er is really a loyal maid."

[I just don't know who she is loyal to. ]

Concubine Xiao: "..."
