When grandma saw this, she quickly shook her head.
"Your Majesty, you are in your prime, how can you say that you are not old?"
Xu Yingying disagreed and raised her hand to ask her grandma to twist a handkerchief and give it to her.
"I am older than the Emperor, so for the Emperor, I am naturally old.
Otherwise, why would the emperor go to Beauty Wang's place?
Hehe, I thought that Concubine An would not be able to sleep with her now.
The emperor will come, but the wait is in vain."
Wiping off the makeup on her face, Xu Yingying put on some facial oil.
"Don't the emperor like fresh food? Then I will give him fresh food.
We can't let Lin Zhaozhao be so proud all the time..."
After applying facial makeup, she looked at the person in the mirror and smiled.
"Isn't Meiren Wang's birthday coming soon? She seems to know Li Yanran from Taifu Li's house?
Now that she is favored, she naturally has to have a good birthday..."
Upon hearing this, grandma understood what Xu Yingying meant, nodded and went down to prepare.
————————
In a blink of an eye, it’s Meiren Wang’s birthday.
Two days ago, a eunuch came to report the matter.
He said that the emperor specially ordered someone to celebrate her birthday.
May Wang Meiren be allowed to invite some old friends and relatives into the palace.
This honor naturally made Wang Meiren extremely happy.
I posted the post and invited a few good ladies to the palace.
Li Yanran is naturally among them.
She didn't know Miss Wang very well, but someone sent a message to her house.
She didn't want to come, she just thought she might be able to enter the palace to meet Sister Su.
Just then, I took a trip.
The palace was extremely boring. They said they were celebrating birthdays, but they were just setting up a stage to watch a show.
Far less interesting than outside, Li Yanran gave the congratulatory gift to Miss Wang.
After saying a few auspicious words, she was greeted by Miss Wang.
We went to the Royal Garden to watch a play together, and there was lively singing on the stage.
Li Yanran was looking around, looking for an opportunity to slip away.
After watching it for a while, my mouth felt dry.
Just as she was about to drink tea, a eunuch changed the tea cup for her first.
"Ms. Li, have a cup of hot tea."
Li Yanran didn't doubt his presence and drank a few sips.
I don't know why, but I think this tea has a strange taste.
Before she could taste it carefully, the eunuch went to get the tea cup and suddenly accidentally spilled it all over her.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss Li, I deserve this. I didn't mean it."
This movement attracted everyone's attention, and naturally Wang Meiren also saw it.
After all, Li Yanran was invited by her, so she couldn't neglect it.
"You stupid dog slave, why don't you take Miss Li to change clothes?"
The eunuch responded, arching his back and motioning for Li Yanran to follow her.
"Miss Li, please come this way.
I will take you to change into clean clothes."
Li Yanran didn't want to attract attention, so she had no choice but to leave with the eunuch.
The eunuch took Li Yanran to a side hall, where a palace maid was waiting outside.
"Miss Li, this servant has prepared hot water for you.
You take a shower first and then change your clothes."
Li Yanran nodded and entered the door.
Go behind the screen, take off your clothes and hang them on the screen.
Then he walked into the tub and started taking a bath.
For some reason, she felt that the water was getting hotter and hotter.
Even though he had taken off all his clothes, he still felt like his body was burning with fire.
Her mind gradually became drowsy, and Li Yanran felt something was wrong.
Get up and get ready to get dressed.
He raised his hand, but found nothing.
There was no change of clothes, even the clothes she took off were missing.
"Someone is coming..."
As soon as these two words were spoken, Li Yanran felt that her eyesight went dark and she didn't know anything anymore.
After hearing that there was no movement inside, the palace maid quickly opened the door and entered.
Wrap Li Yanran in a quilt and ask the eunuchs to carry her away.
"Go and tell your Majesty that everything is ready."
The eunuch carried Li Yanran to a sleeping hall, lit aphrodisiac incense and left.
On the other side, Xu Yingying, who was in the dormitory, got the news.
Hearing that everything was ready, he smiled knowingly.
He ordered people to find a way to lure the emperor there.
Once this is done, the Emperor will think of her well.
Her return to favor is just around the corner.
If this failed, she would be grounded in the dormitory from beginning to end, without even taking a single step.
Even if Taifu Li brought trouble to the emperor, he could not blame her.
There is no harm to her.
————————
After Li Zhaodi's injury improved, he refused to stay in the capital regardless of life or death.
Su Jinxiu sent her out of the capital early in the morning, and Xiao Jingze sent someone to escort her back to Wucheng along the way.
After arranging everything, Su Jinxiu returned to the palace.
By the time we entered the palace, it was almost dark.
Xiao Jingze originally wanted to send Su Jinxiu back to Qingliang Hall, but Su Jinxiu refused.
"I heard that Yanran also entered the palace today, so she should look for me later.
You'd better go to the imperial study first and discuss political affairs with the emperor."
It was only after she entered the palace that she found out that today was Beauty Wang's birthday, and she heard that Yan Ran had been invited to the palace.
Thinking that Yanran would come looking for her, if she saw Ah Jiu, she would be frightened and speechless.
Although Xiao Jingze didn't want to, he still didn't say anything.
"Tell her not to stay too long, or I will throw her out of the palace."
Su Jinxiu laughed and nodded.
Watching Xiao Jingze go away, he turned around and walked towards Qingliang Hall.
Halfway through, I suddenly heard a different kind of moan.
She felt a little strange and looked around for the source of the sound.
She remembered that everything around here was empty.
After searching around, my eyes fell on the back window of a side hall.
"It's so hot, so hot..."
The voice sounded inexplicably familiar.
Su Jinxiu quickly stepped forward and climbed up on the wall to have a look.
At one glance, he saw Li Yanran on the bed.
The candlelight flickered in the room, but she didn't even touch her hair.
His face was red, his eyes were closed tightly, and he was crying.
"Yanran, Yanran..."
Su Jinxiu lowered her voice and looked around.
After calling several times, Li Yanran didn't make a sound.
It looked like he had been drugged.
The wall was too narrow and Su Jinxiu couldn't stand.
He jumped down helplessly and jumped up and down anxiously.
What should I do? I can give medicine in the palace.
There must be someone guarding outside, how could she rescue Yanran?
I was in a hurry when I suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
She couldn't care less and ran over quickly.
"Master Ajin, do you know how to get in there?
I have a very good friend who is trapped inside."
Jin Jiu looked at Su Jinxiu's appearance and heard the voice inside again.
He roughly guessed something. He looked around and nodded.
"You go to the back alley and wait, I'll send someone to you."
Su Jinxiu heard what Mr. Ajin said and knew that he had a way to rescue the person.
He nodded immediately and went to the back alley first.
About half an hour later, Jin Jiu came with Li Yanran wrapped in a quilt.
He seemed to have exhausted all his strength, handed the person to Su Jinxiu, and collapsed to the ground.
"It seems that we have been discovered. People should be chasing us soon..."
There is no place to hide in the palace, even the Qingliang Palace, if you want to search, you can't stop him.
The only way is to leave the palace.
Su Jinxiu picked up Li Yanran and asked anxiously.
"Master Ajin, do you have a way to get us out of the palace?"
She knew that if Master Ajin could rescue Yanran, he should have a way to get out of the palace.
Jin Jiu was startled and looked towards the river ahead.
"No, it's too dangerous..."
Although the river water has thawed now, it is still bitingly cold, not to mention the undercurrent surging underneath.
People with good water skills are not sure they can swim out.
Not to mention, taking an unconscious person with you.
