the patient

"You're not pretending to be ill?" Qingdai felt it was a pity. If Zheng Jieyu was pretending to be ill, then they could find a way to reveal Zheng Jieyu's true face.

Lu Wanning smiled when she heard this, "Well, regardless of whether Zheng Jieyu is pretending to be sick or not, since the emperor has gone to the Ruyi Pavilion, you don't have to wait here. Go down and have a rest. I will read a book by myself.

"

Seeing that Lu Wanning could still laugh, Qingdai and Qingzhi didn't worry that Lu Wanning would be angry at Zheng Jieyu's actions.

Hearing Lu Wanning say this, the two of them stopped disturbing Lu Wanning's reading.

That night, the emperor indeed stayed at the Ruyi Pavilion.

The next day, when Lu Wanning went to pay his respects, everyone kept looking at Lu Wanning's expression as if they were laughing.

After the greetings were over, Cui Jieyu even gloated and said directly: "I heard that Zheng Jieyu is sick. Would you like, Miss Lu, to come with me to check on the illness?"

Lu Wanning seemed not to notice Cui Jieyu's gloating, and smiled and said: "Okay, I just want to check out Zheng Jieyu's illness. Since Cui Jieyu wants to invite us, we can do it later.

Let’s go together.”

Cui Jieyu glanced at Lu Sunning in surprise, and said angrily: "Are you really planning to explore Zheng Jieyu's illness?"

"Of course." Lu Wanning said: "Is it possible that Cui Jieyu just talked about it and didn't plan to actually investigate Zheng Jieyu's illness?"

Zhou Cairen chatted with Lu Wanning for a while while drinking tea, and then turned the topic to Zheng Jieyu.

In the Ruyi Pavilion, Zheng Jieyu heard Lan Xin say that it was Lu Mei and Cui Jieyu who came together to visit the patient. She wrinkled her thin eyebrows and said, "Tell them it's not convenient for me to see guests and let them go."

"Ha!" Cui Jieyu laughed sarcastically and said, "She is very ill. Whether she is dying or unable to get up, you will believe that she is very ill."

Lu Wanning nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait for Cui Jieyu."

Such rumors eventually reached the ears of the Queen Mother. After hearing this, the Queen Mother specially summoned Luo Chengjing to the Shou'an Palace and asked him, "The Ai family heard that Zheng Jieyu was suffering from a serious disease. Is it true?"

This thing?"

Lu Wanning smiled, neither admitting nor denying it. Seeing this, Zhou Cairen stopped talking and talked about other topics with Lu Wanning.

Lu Wanning smiled and said good-temperedly: "Since Zheng Jieyu is seriously ill, we will not disturb Zheng Jieyu."

Cui Jieyu choked up and insisted: "Who said I didn't prepare to really visit Zheng Jieyu's illness? I will go back to the Ruyi Pavilion to visit the patient immediately with the gift for visiting the patient."

Lu Wanning found someone to sit down with and asked Qingzhi to serve tea and snacks.

Not long after Lu Wanning returned to Linglong Pavilion, Zhou Cairen arrived.

The Queen Mother glared at Luo Chengjing and said, "Don't be playful with me. This news has been spread to the whole palace, and the emperor still wants to hide it from me."

"Yes." Lu Wanning nodded and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Master?" Qingzhi called Lu Wanning.

Cui Jieyu snorted coldly and said nothing.

Lu Wanning deliberately bit the word "sick" very hard.

Zheng Jieyu had been ill for several days. There was nothing wrong with her in the first two days, but on the third day when Zheng Jieyu had not shown up, there were many rumors in the palace that Zheng Jieyu was seriously ill.

I can't even get out of bed.

Lu Wanning said: "Zheng Jieyu is seriously ill. It is normal to worry that the illness will affect us. Why should Cui Jieyu care about it?"

Zhou Cairen hesitated for a moment and said: "Don't think I'm too blunt. Why did you go to visit Zheng Jieyu? I think whether she was really sick or fake, she was the one who intercepted the emperor last night. You

Instead of making trouble for her, you went to the Ruyi Pavilion to check on her illness. This will make people think that you are easy to talk to and bully. In the future, everyone may follow your example and steal people from you."

Lu Wanning laughed when he heard this and said: "You are kind enough to think about me, so why should I dislike your blunt words? But since Zheng Jieyu is sick, how can I not go and check on her?"

"Yes, Jieyu."

The Queen Mother looked at Luo Chengjing suspiciously, "Is it possible that the Emperor was reluctant to leave the person, so he asked the imperial doctor to tell the public that he had a cold?"

Zhou Cairen saw the smile on Lu Wanning's face that did not reach the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am worrying too much. You already have a plan in your mind."

During lunch, Lu Wanning stayed with Zhou Cairen to have lunch in Linglong Pavilion before leaving.

"Maybe." Lu Wanning said: "What if Zheng Jieyu is really seriously ill? Anyway, I don't think Zheng Jieyu has a minor illness or pain."

Upon hearing this, Cui Jieyu looked at Lu Wanning, sneered coldly, and turned around and left with the palace attendants.

In the end, I don’t know what happened, but word spread that Zheng Jieyu had contracted a very serious disease, and her time was running out.

Coming out of Ruyi Pavilion, Cui Jieyu said with a cold face: "You have a good temper, no wonder you are treated so badly."

Luo Chengjing helplessly cried out, "Mother, you have wronged me. I will hide it from no one, but I will hide it from you. The imperial doctor has already visited me before. Zheng Jieyu just has an ordinary cold. She can get it anywhere."

Is there an epidemic?”

After hearing this, Luo Chengjing said amusedly: "Where did your mother hear this?"

Lan Xin responded, turned around and came to the main hall, smiled at Lu Wanning and Cui Jieyu, who looked not very good-looking, and said, "Lao Cui Jieyu and Lu Meiren are thinking about it. We Jieyu said that she has received your thoughts, but we

Jieyu is afraid that she will not see you two after she is over her illness."

"Yes." Lu Wanning glanced at the palace attendants not far away, then looked back and said calmly: "Let's go back."

"I heard that you and Cui Jieyu just went to visit Zheng Jieyu?"

Epidemics are very easy to infect people. The Queen Mother remembered that during the reign of the late Emperor, epidemic diseases appeared in one place one year, and almost all the people in the last city were infected. In the end, although the epidemic was contained, more than half of the people in that city were infected.

They all died in that epidemic.

If Zheng Jieyu really got sick from the epidemic, she would not be able to keep her in the palace under any circumstances.

Luo Chengjing said: "Mother, why don't you believe my son? Is my son such a confused person?"

"The emperor is usually not confused, but when it came to Zheng Jieyu's matter, the Ai family saw that the emperor was very confused." The Queen Mother said angrily: "Just like the incident with Huang Shang before, the Xie family is obviously more suitable for this job than the Zheng family.

Huangshang, but Your Majesty, you gave the title of Huangshang to the Zheng family because of Zheng Jieyu, how could you not be confused?"

When Luo Chengjing heard the Queen Mother's words, the smile on his face faded. After a moment of silence, he smiled again and said, "Mother, you have to believe me. Everything I do is based on my own consideration."
