She actually couldn't figure out why Dugu Liancheng was willing to see her but not Mu Ci, and what kind of illness he had.
She didn't dare to ask these questions, but she was here to inquire about the situation, so she couldn't just sit here, right?
Seeing Shen Manyun drinking two cups of tea in a row, Li Yu kindly reminded her: "Ms. Zhen Fei has already drank two cups of tea."
Is the tea at Yanfu Palace so delicious?
Shen Manyun rubbed his hands and said, "The tea in Yanfu Palace is particularly delicious. I couldn't help but take a few more sips."
Seeing her wretched expression, Dugu Liancheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Since Concubine Zhen likes it, Li Yu, you can bring some tea back to Concubine Zhen later."
Shen Manyun was flattered when he heard this: "Thank you, thank you for your grace!"
Dugu Liancheng didn't look at her and continued to review the papers.
Shen Manyun took the opportunity to look at Dugu Liancheng. Her eyes were fixed on Shen Manyun's face. She looked carefully and again, and she really found some clues.
Just when she was engrossed in watching, Dugu Liancheng suddenly raised his head and looked over: "Is there anything else?"
Shen Manyun thought to himself that he had just arrived not long ago and had only drank two cups of tea. Should he drive her away in such a hurry?
But when she thought that the other concubines in the harem had no chance to enter Yanfu Palace and be alone with Dugu Liancheng, she knew that she shouldn't be too greedy.
"It's okay, I will leave." Shen Manyun said and stood up.
Before she left, she glanced back at Dugu Liancheng and saw that he was concentrating on reviewing the memorial. If she hadn't looked closely just now, she wouldn't have noticed some details.
I have to say that the man she likes is very good, although he doesn't like her at all.
After leaving Yanfu Palace, Shen Manyun didn't bother to avoid suspicion and went directly to Yong'an Palace to see Mu Ci.
"Why did Concubine Zhen come directly?" Yingchun was surprised to see Shen Manyun.
"Yingchun, put away your face that you don't like to see me. I am running errands for your master, how dare you dislike me?" Shen Manyun said angrily.
Who is she working hard and busy for?
"How can I dare to dislike my concubine? It's just that Concubine Zhen and our concubine are still rivals now and we can't get too close. Concubine Zhen is so hard to convince others." Yingchun defended hurriedly.
"Come on, this is a trivial matter. I have a way to solve it." Shen Manyun took a sip of tea before asking: "Where is Mu Ci?"
"I'm with His Highness Third Highness. I'll send you a message..." Before Yingchun could finish her words, someone opened the curtain and came out. It was Mu Ci.
Mu Ci smiled and said, "Your voice is so loud, I can't even hear you."
"I went to see the emperor, so I came here to see you. To be honest, I think the emperor's face is not good and very pale. Moreover, the emperor has lost weight. Although this is not a big deal, I think it is okay. It means that the emperor is not in good health." Shen Manyun finished in one breath.
Yingchun frowned upon hearing this: "That's it?"
She thought there was some special news, so Concubine Zhen was eager to tell her empress.
"What do you know? I have made special observations. The emperor has had bad looks in the past, but it has never been as obvious as this time. I am very sure that the emperor is not in good health." Shen Manyun said with certainty.
Although his temperament looks no different from before, and his aura is very strong, in fact, if you look at the details, you can still find that Dugu Liancheng's body is much worse than before.
"When you went to see the emperor, did he say anything?" Mu Ci asked after pondering for a moment.
Shen Manyun showed the tea box in his hand: "I said the tea in Yanfu Palace was good, so the emperor rewarded me with two boxes. The emperor did not see other concubines, but he only asked to see me. What does this mean?"
Yingchun thought for a while before replying: "My queen must be more special."
Particularly noisy.
"Of course I am special, but this reason is not enough. The emperor must have known that I have a relationship with Mu Ci. He couldn't see Mu Ci, so he met me." Shen Manyun said softly.
In the Spring Festival, Shen Manyun was surprised by this answer.
She thought Shen Manyun wanted to show off that she was special in the emperor's mind.
"Are you overthinking it?" Mu Ci disagreed with Shen Manyun's remarks.
Shen Manyun curled her lips: "I just said it casually, don't be too happy."
Mu Ci couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: "Which of your eyes sees me happy?"
"Don't think that I don't know that you are very proud. Even if the emperor is sick, he still can't let go of you. Of course you are happy." Shen Manyun just didn't say that she was not worth mentioning in front of the emperor.
Mu Ci lowered his eyebrows and said, "How can I be happy in such a situation? If the emperor is ill, it must be the medicine given by An Rong that hurt his body. Isn't it because the illness is serious that he deliberately neglected me?"
Shen Manyun thought that Mu Ci was narcissistic again.
But there is some truth in what Mu Ci said, otherwise how can we explain this matter? Dugu Liancheng would rather see her than Mu Ci. It must be because he can't see Mu Ci, right?
"But I don't think the emperor is terminally ill. He is just pale and has lost some weight. Everything else is as usual." Shen Manyun recalled the details carefully: "Yes, I also smelled some medicine. It must be the emperor. It was because I was taking medicine before.”
"If you are taking medicine, I can go find Dr. Zhang and ask what's going on." While Mu Ci was speaking, Shen Manyun had already stood up and was about to leave.
She walked a few steps away and remembered something again: "When I went to Yanfu Palace, I didn't see Qiu Lan serving at the side. I even asked a palace maid to inquire, but the palace maid was unwilling to say anything. ."
"I'm interested. I'll go to the Imperial Hospital first to inquire about the situation. Maybe I can gain something," Mu Ci replied.
Shen Manyun stopped staying.
After she left Yong'an Palace, she wisely spread a rumor about her going to Yong'an Palace to show off her face, but she was ridiculed by Mu Ci.
This can explain why she suddenly ran into Yong'an Palace.
As for Mu Ci, she then ordered Dr. Zhang to check her pulse. She took advantage of the situation and asked whether Yanfu Palace had taken medicine or asked for a pulse at the Imperial Hospital.
Doctor Zhang thought carefully and then said: "These days, I have not seen the emperor to ask for pulse, nor to take medicine."
"Sir, if you think about it carefully, are there any omissions?" Mu Ci added reluctantly.
Doctor Zhang still shook his head: "If Yanfu Palace asked for a pulse or took medicine, there would be a record. Now not only is there no record, but the lower officials don't remember such a thing."
The emperor has not allowed the imperial physician to ask for Ping'an pulse recently. This is the emperor's wish, and they, the ministers, dare not disobey.
Mu Ci was a little disappointed when he couldn't find out why.
Later she remembered the character Qiu Lan.
You must know that Qiu Lan often leaves the palace. If she takes medicine outside the palace, she does not need to go to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine. This may be the reason why Dugu Liancheng invited Qiu Lan into the palace.
Looking at Qiu Lan's behavior before, she was very characterful. Such a woman would definitely not be willing to enter the palace and become one of the three thousand in the harem.
