Liu Shangshu was frightened when he saw the emperor.

After hearing what the emperor said, I became even more frightened.

In the cold winter, beads of sweat slicked down my forehead.

He was not stupid, he heard that the emperor was favoring the Qi family both inside and outside his words.

Now coming with the imperial concubine, isn't that just indirect support?

One sentence wiped away all relationships.

If he said anything more at this time, it would become a malicious attack.

What made him even more worried was that the emperor would find out that those rumors were related to him.

After Qi Ranran heard Yu Wenchen's words, her peach blossom eyes were bright, and she looked at the people around her with admiration.

I can't tell.

The emperor is very good at talking~

Yuwen Chen received the looks from the people around him and continued to maintain his dignity due to the scene.

Eunuch Li stepped forward at this time,

"Master Liu, the Emperor is so concerned that he has sent an imperial doctor specially for your daughter. He is on the way now."

Liu Shangshu understood.

Since the emperor had already said that he was here to visit a patient, it was definitely not appropriate to stop him. He said yes and went ahead to lead the way.

The backyard of Liu Mansion.

There is a very old pear tree in the yard.

Because it is winter, the branches are all bare, but the branches are stretched out. You can imagine that the garden will be filled with the fragrance of pear flowers in spring.

In the room, Liu Wanrou reluctantly got out of bed.

After winter entered the capital, most of her activities were indoors.

When I went outside, if I wasn't careful, the wind would blow and I would have to stay in bed for a long time.

Now her condition has not improved and she simply cannot leave the house.

Only when the sky cleared up, the maid Yun Lan went for a walk in the courtyard.

When the door was pushed open, Yun Lan originally had a happy face, but when she saw the figure standing in front of the window, her face changed with fright, and she quickly stepped forward to help him.

"Miss, why are you up?"

Liu Wanrou slowly sat in front of the window.

The light from the window shines in through the gauze, making her already soft silhouette even more haggard.

She has been taking medicine for many years, and her body is always smelling of medicine.

She has become very thin in recent days, and the clothes she wears have become even looser.

When you lower your head and cough, the muscles and veins in your neck will become prominent.

When she heard Yun Lan's words, she turned around, held back the itchiness in her throat, and pulled the corners of her lips to smile.

“Staying in the room all day long is boring enough, but I can’t keep lying in bed all the time.

How can I be so weak?"

Yun Lan took some clothes and put them on her. Seeing that the young lady was fine, her smile returned to her face.

"Congratulations, Miss, there is something happy today!"

Liu Wanrou laughed.

She has been dragging such a sickly body, where does her happiness come from?

The corners of Yunlan's lips couldn't help but turn up,

"Miss, Mr. Qi is here.

Not only Mr. Qi, I heard that even the emperor and concubines from the palace came,

They are all here to see you."

Just now she went to the kitchen to fry the medicine and happened to see this scene while passing by the front yard.

Yun Lan's face was filled with joy, but Liu Wanrou couldn't smile.

After being dazed for a long time, she finally came back to her senses and stared at Yun Lan, eager for confirmation.

"Who are you talking about? Who is coming?"

Yun Lan knew her lady's thoughts and was excited.

"Miss, this is Mr. Qi."

Liu Wanrou felt happy in her heart, but then her joy was replaced by confusion.

"Why did he come?"

She had met him and fell in love with him.

But this is all her wishful thinking.

It was just a one-time encounter, and she wasn't even sure if he had any impression of her.

In this case, why did he come to the house?

Yunlan's mood was a little complicated and hesitant,

"Maybe... maybe he heard the rumors outside."

Liu Wanrou didn't understand,

"What rumor?"

Yun Lan choked, then spoke out,

"Recently, for some unknown reason, there are rumors in the capital that the young lady is ill because of the second young master Qi.

He said... he said that the young lady became ill because she longed for Mr. Qi and became lovesick."

Liu Wanrou was shocked, her eyebrows furrowed tightly,

"Why, how could this happen?"

Yun Lan shook her head,

"My slaves don't know either.

But... that’s what people say outside.”

Originally, she wanted to tell the lady when she heard the news the day before yesterday.

But at that time, I saw that the young lady was not in good spirits, so I endured it.

Even, she thought, there was nothing wrong with spreading the matter like this.

If the news reaches the ears of Mr. Qi, the second Mr. Qi will come to visit the young lady.

The Emperor has paid off, and the Second Young Master Qi has finally arrived.

Yun Lan thought that perhaps Second Young Master Qi would come because he had also heard those rumors.

In any case, if the young lady can see Mr. Qi, her feelings will no longer have nowhere to rest on.

Yunlan couldn't help but feel happy in her tone, and she was optimistic and said anxiously to her young lady,

"Miss, it seems to me that Second Master Qi is willing to come, which means that he also values ​​you."

Liu Wanrou's eyes were dull. After Yun Lan's words, the blood on her face completely faded and turned pale.

She lost all strength, and quickly held the corner of the table to hold on, but her heart hurt, her throat became more and more itchy, her shoulders hunched, and her coughing became worse and worse. When she could no longer hold on, she fell back into the chair.

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

When Yun Lan saw the bloody light, she immediately panicked and immediately went to see her condition.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?

Don’t scare me!”

Liu Wanrou only felt that her mouth was filled with fishy and sweet taste.

She shook her head weakly, all she could think about was what Yun Lan said.

She really cares about him.

I also hope he can see her in his eyes and like her.

She even thought about countless occasions when the two would formally meet.

But I never thought of this one.

If... the outside world was full of rumors as Yun Lan said, then the person he came to see today was not her.
To be continued...
