Although the back garden of the Zhenguo Palace is not as good as the Imperial Garden, it still has rockeries, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions. Moreover, an expert was asked to set up a spirit-gathering formation so that the flowers in the garden can absorb spiritual power and bloom all year round.
There are many female relatives in the Zhenguo Palace, and the back garden is a place where they often gather.
Yan Qingwu heard the sound and looked over, only to see a group of richly dressed ladies chatting and walking gracefully along the cobblestone path.
Yan Qingwu deliberately counted. There were four ladies in this group. Apparently they were the first lady of Duke Zhen. The second lady was the third lady and the fourth lady. Liu Waner's mother was the fifth lady.
She was the last one the Duke of Zhen Guo married.
Behind these four ladies, there were also some maids.
Judging from her clothing, stance, and aura, the leading woman, whose face was thickly smeared with makeup, could not conceal her aging appearance, was the original wife of Lord Zhen Guo.
The other four ladies are all respectful and respectful in front of the eldest lady.
"That bitch Mei Qing probably won't last a few days. Sister Xiao, I think it's bad luck to keep her in the house. It's better to just send her outside and let her fend for herself."
The second lady's mean face, saying these words made her even more mean and vicious.
"No, the master will definitely not agree to it."
The third lady said quickly.
"Actually, there is no need to send it outside, just send it directly to the firewood shed of the back house. She is an actress and has enjoyed the glory and wealth for so many years. She should be content. Now she is seriously ill and dying. She has no confidence in the old man's luck.
It's very disadvantageous, besides, it's the Crown Prince and Prince Zhao now..." The fourth lady said, but she almost made a mistake if she hadn't been interrupted by the eldest lady.
"If there are things you shouldn't say, don't say them nonsense. Be careful that walls have ears."
The lady reprimanded.
"Sister Xiao taught you a lesson."
The fourth lady quickly admitted her mistake in panic.
"But you are right about what you said. That bitch Mei Qing is seriously ill, which may affect the master's luck, but it will definitely not work if she is sent outside. If outsiders find out, it will damage the master's reputation. So as you say
As I said, send her to the firewood shed at the back and let her fend for herself."
The eldest lady said calmly.
"The only thing that worries me now is that girl Wan'er. We can't let her really find the elixir."
The fourth lady said.
"Just because she can find the elixir with her two slaves Tonghu and Qingping is too fantastic. She went to ask for some elixir without saying hello this time, but she made the old man very angry. When she came back this time,
She will inevitably be scolded by the master. When the time comes, as long as we say a few words and let the master marry her off, our family will be peaceful from now on."
The third lady smiled disapprovingly.
"I'm afraid she won't get married easily. Although the old man was angry this time, he still loved her very much, and I don't think it's easy for her to win her heart. The old man wanted her to marry Chen Hanzhi before, but she actually looked down on her.
, Chen Hanzhi's father is also a well-known wealthy businessman in our Zhou Dynasty. She is still unwilling to marry her as a young mistress. I think she is very ambitious. Just like her mother, we have to guard against it."
The second lady said cautiously.
"No matter how ambitious she is, it's useless. How can she turn the world upside down? I think she may not be able to come back if she goes out this time. The road to seeking immortality is so difficult. She is a girl who has never been out of the house.
It can't end well."
The third lady still disagreed.
This group of ladies walked past Mo Hai and Yan Qingwu. It wasn't until their voices disappeared around the corner that Yan Qingwu said angrily: "These women are so bad."
"The emperor's harem is probably more cruel than the government palace."
Mo Hai said calmly, Mo Hai naturally didn't bother to care about this kind of thing.
"Let's go and meet Liu Waner's mother."
Mo Hai changed the topic and left with Yan Qingwu.
Mo Hai naturally needs to find someone quickly.
Within a few minutes, Mo Hai and Yan Qingwu landed in a courtyard. This courtyard was quite remote, but the environment was quiet and elegant. A maid in coarse clothes was squatting at the door, brewing medicine, raising her head to wipe sweat.
Suddenly, when she saw Mo Hai and Yan Qingwu suddenly appearing in the courtyard, the maid immediately stood up and looked at the two strangers warily.
Yan Qingwu quickly introduced herself.
When she heard that Yan Qingwu was a friend of her young lady, the maid immediately relaxed her vigilance, and a long-lost smile appeared on her worried face.
"Qingguo, who is talking outside the door?"
A weak voice came from inside the house.
"Madam, I am a friend of the young lady."
The maid named Qingguo quickly opened the door and said happily, and then respectfully let Mo Hai and Yan Qingwu in.
The room was filled with the smell of medicinal herbs. Liu Waner's mother, Mei Qing, was lying on the bed. When she saw a visitor coming, she wanted to get up. Qingguo quickly went over and helped her sit up on the bed.
"Qingguo, let's make tea."
Mei Qing said weakly.
"No, we just stopped by to see you. Your daughter has helped you get the elixir. You should be back tomorrow. If you take the elixir by then, you will be fine."
Mo Hai smiled slightly.
Mo Hai came here just to confirm the condition of Liu Waner's mother. Now it seems that the elixir Liu Waner asked for at Beicang Fairy Island is enough to save her life, so there is no need for Mo Hai to take action.
After hearing Mo Hai's words, Mei Qing was overjoyed. Looking at her red and swollen eyes, it seemed that she had been crying a lot these days because she was worried about her daughter.
"Is Wan'er really okay?"
Mei Qing doesn't care about her illness or the medicine, she only cares about her daughter's safety, which shows that she loves her daughter very much, and as a mother, she is qualified.
"It's really okay. We just said goodbye to her this morning. Auntie, you can rest in peace and recuperate. By the way, when we came here just now, we heard a few women saying that they wanted to put you in the woodshed. Do you want me to help you?"
Are you going to teach those women a lesson?"
Yan Qingwu said.
"I appreciate Miss Yan's kindness, but I hope you will not interfere in this matter. I am seriously ill now, and I am indeed not qualified to sleep in this luxurious room. I can sleep in the woodshed."
Mei Qing didn't care and smiled slightly.
"Madam, it must be them who are causing trouble. I'll ask the master to administer justice."
Maid Qingguo said dissatisfied.
"It's such a small matter, don't bother me. Qingguo, please take these two guests out for dinner. I'm seriously ill, so I can't entertain them. Please forgive me."
Mei Qing said, her face turned even paler because she said these words.
Mo Hai quietly released a spiritual energy and injected it into Mei Qing's body through the air to help her protect her heart.
"There's no need to eat. Just take a good rest. You'll be better in the future, but you still have to be careful about some people. People are harmless, but tigers can hurt others. Take care, Qingwu, let's go."
After Mo Hai finished speaking, he took Yan Qingwu and left.
Mei Qing quickly asked Qingguo to see off the guests. Qingguo put down his wife and ran to the door. There was no one outside.
"Madam, they are so fast, they have already left."
Qingguo quickly ran in again and said.
"It's really strange. They said they only parted ways with Wan'er this morning. Why are they here when Wan'er hasn't come back yet?"
Mei Qing was puzzled.
"They must be wanderers, they can travel thousands of miles in a day. Hey, madam, your face looks much better."
Qingguo said suddenly.
"Yeah?
I also feel a lot better physically, which is really strange.”
