Chapter 62 Visitation
Lu Jingyan lay quietly on the bed, watching the sky outside getting brighter.
As the sky grew brighter, the servants and maids outside all got up and got busy, but Lu Jingyan couldn't feel anything. She even forgot that today was the day she had been lying down.
Two days ago, she said she wanted to see the princess, but because she was often unconscious, the princess asked her to recover before going to see her.
But how can she cultivate herself well?
During the past few days when she was lying in bed, she either couldn't sleep at all, or she passed out. When she woke up, she had no idea what time it was.
Did my mother also live such a life in prison, with neither humans nor ghosts?
Thinking of this, tears flowed out of the corners of Lu Jingyan's eyes again.
After a while, a maid brought breakfast in and filled the basin with water again.
The maid glanced at the bed. She couldn't see Lu Jingyan's eyes inside through the bed curtain.
"There was no movement. She must have not woken up yet." The maid whispered to herself, then turned around and gently closed the door to Lu Jingyan.
Lu Jingyan didn't want to speak.
She slowly turned her head, holding in her hands were her mother's clothes that she had tried her best to protect that day, but even then those clothes had been torn into tatters, and after being soaked by the rain, even the remaining
There is not much flavor left.
"Mother... mother."
Lu Jingyan curled up, hugging the clothes and huddled under the quilt, until——
"Is Lu Jingyan awake?"
Suddenly, Su Changle's voice came to mind outside.
The maid had been waiting outside Lu Jingyan's door. She said to Su Changle: "When the servant went in to deliver breakfast just now, Miss Lu was not awake yet. Does the princess want the servant to wake her up?"
Su Changle thought for a while, then looked at the time. Just as he was about to wake someone up, he heard Lu Jingyan inside say, "Is it the princess? I'm awake, you can come in directly."
The maid also heard the sound inside, and she reached out and opened the door.
The strong smell of medicine hit my face.
Lu Jingyan became much sicker than Su Changle after being rained on that day. In addition, she was so anxious that the illness she had hidden while living on the streets came out. So she gave her usual medicine, and the imperial doctor prescribed it again.
I ordered someone to smoke some soothing herbs, which made the smell stronger.
Lu Jingyan got up from the bed and opened the bed curtain with bare hands.
Su Changle also entered the door. She saw that Lu Jingyan's face was pale. Not only her face, but her hands were also pale.
"Are you so serious?"
Su Changle was shocked. She was either recuperating or busy these days. She knew that Lu Jingyan's illness was somewhat serious, but she never thought that she would become like this.
"Princess, please stay away from your daughter. Be careful when you are sick." Lu Jingyan was slightly out of breath and weak as she spoke.
Su Changle was a little worried: "If you are like this today, if you go to prison again, what if..."
"Prison order?!" Lu Jingyan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Can the princess take her daughter to see her mother?"
"We'll see you at noon today." Su Changle knew that he couldn't stop her, so he said, "Please clean up quickly and don't worry your mother."
"Yes, yes, the princess is right." Lu Jingyan's voice trembled, and she struggled to climb out of the bed, but her hands and feet were weak and she almost fell to the ground.
The maid next to her had quick eyes and quick hands and hugged the person.
"Don't be anxious. I came here earlier to tell you so that you don't have to worry." Su Changle said, then turned around and left, leaving her some space. "Take your time, and I, the princess, will go back and clean up."
"Yes, thank you, Princess."
Lu Jingyan first watched Su Changle go out, and then helped the maid out of bed. She used her strength to sit on the chair and said to the maid, "Thank you."
The maid waved her hand: "You're welcome, Miss Lu. I'll prepare some water for you to take a bath first. Miss, you can eat something to cushion your stomach first."
Lu Jingyan nodded and turned to the table.
The maid had already opened the food box and brought out the breakfast inside. It was full of soft and glutinous food, which was very suitable for Lu Jingyan's stomach. Even though she couldn't eat it anymore, she still tried her best to eat some.
She ate some quickly, and after the water was ready, she followed the maid to take a bath.
When she finished cleaning up and sat on the dressing table again, she looked at the person in the mirror with some fear.
"Can you put some rouge on my face to make my face look better?" Lu Jingyan said to the maid who was helping her hold her hair.
"Okay, miss, wait a minute." The maid fixed a hairpin on her bun, then picked up the rouge on the dressing table and helped her apply some rouge.
Sure enough, after applying rouge, Lu Jingyan's face looked better.
"Let's go, the princess should be waiting outside." Lu Jingyan was supported by the maid until she reached the gate, and then she went to Su Changle's carriage alone.
The carriage that Su Changle was riding in today was not the one usually used by the princess's palace. Lu Jingyan was helped by Ah Zhu to get into the carriage.
Su Changle was already waiting in the carriage. She looked up at Lu Jingyan and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."
Lu Jingyan was wearing a plain dress that Su Changle had prepared for her today, and the hairpin on her head also matched the dress.
"That's what it takes so that my family won't worry."
"The princess is right."
"It's still a while before we go to jail. Please close your eyes and rest for a while so that you can have enough strength to talk to your mother later." Su Changle was also wearing a plain dress today, which at first glance looked similar to Lu Jingyan's dress.
Somewhat like.
"Yes, so does the princess."
Su Changle knew that Lu Jingyan would definitely not rest, but it didn't matter, just let her be quiet for a while and think about what to say to her mother.
--
Jiang Shen stood by the window of the study room, listening to Song Shishi say at the door: "Sir, the princess has gone out, and she brought Lu Jingyan with her."
"In which direction did you go?" Jiang Shen asked calmly.
Last night he came back from taking a shower and lay next to Su Changle. Su Changle was already fast asleep, his little mouth opening and closing slowly and breathing slowly. As usual, he took Su Changle's right hand out of the quilt and reached out to hook Su Changle's hand.
Changle's fingers.
"Huh?" Jiang Shen frowned.
Su Changle's pajamas have always been very soft. If there is any discomfort, Su Changle will feel it very sensitively and will even keep saying "uncomfortable, uncomfortable".
But today, there was obviously something hidden in the sleeves of Su Changle's pajamas.
Jiang Shen raised his eyebrows, stretched out his slender fingers and directly dug into the sleeves of her pajamas, pinching out the note.
"The matter has been settled. I'll see you at noon tomorrow."
The note was not signed, but it seemed that the person writing it was a man, and he was a man who wrote very well.
Jiang Shen's eyes deepened, he folded the small piece of paper back according to the original trace, and stuffed it back into the sleeve of Su Changle's pajamas along the original route.
Until he got up and left this morning, Su Changle had no intention of going out, and he didn't go out until just now.
Song Shi thought about the direction: "It seems to be heading towards the prison."
"Zhao Prison." Jiang Shen paused. A few days ago, Su Changle and Lu Jingyan were caught in the rain and were in front of the Zhao Prison. Today, they went to Zhao Prison and took Lu Jingyan with them, probably to see Lu Jingyan's mother.
"Sir, shall we follow?"
Follow?
Jiang Shen opened the small porcelain bowl placed next to him, pinched some millet grains and sprinkled it out the window.
The little sparrows who had developed a habit of looking here from time to time, saw Jiang Shen pinching the millet grains and throwing them out, and they quickly flew over with their wings spread.
After spending these days together, those little sparrows are no longer afraid of people.
Jiang Shen finished feeding the sparrow and put the porcelain lid back on. He twirled his fingers and said, "I have nothing to do today, so we will go out for a walk. Maybe we can meet the princess."
"Yes." Song Shi ordered and went out to prepare the car.
--
Su Changle woke up early today and did take a short nap on the carriage. He didn't wake up until the carriage stopped.
Azhu got out of the car first and said hello to Yiyihang who was waiting at the door, and then the two of them came to Su Changle's carriage.
Zhou Yihang said outside: "Princess, you can get off the bus with peace of mind. It's time to change the guard and have dinner. The arrangements have been made."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." Su Changle thanked him first and got off the carriage first. Lu Jingyan followed behind Su Changle.
When Zhou Yihang saw the two people getting off the bus and standing together, he was a little stunned at first: "The princess and Miss Lu's clothes today are a little..."
"It looks a bit like it, right?" Su Changle waved his hand, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, you can just bring her in alone. The princess is waiting for you in the car, and A-Zhu will go with you. If anything happens, Mr. Zhou can tell you
It is this princess who is here to visit."
Ah Zhu listened, took out a silk hat from the carriage and put it on Lu Jingyan's head.
It was indeed difficult to tell who this was for a while.
Su Changle nodded with satisfaction. After she turned around and got into the car, she opened the curtain with her bare hands and said, "Master Zhou, I don't want anyone to see Miss Lu today."
Zhou Yihang nodded: "Understood."
He stepped back slightly and led the way for Lu Jingyan: "Please come this way."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." Lu Jingyan followed Zhou Yihang, with Azhu supporting her next to her.
After watching the three people disappear at the door of the prison, Su Changle lowered the car curtain.
In fact, she felt something was wrong when she went out today.
A strong uneasiness jolted back and forth in her heart, so she decided to make such an arrangement.
The fewer people who know about this, the better.
Su Changle was waiting in the carriage, holding a piece of cake in her hand and bringing it to her mouth one after another. She counted the time——
Chapter completed!
