Children of Loulan

After he finished speaking, he left as quickly as a ghost, as if he had never stayed here for a moment, or even said anything. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace, leaving only a confusing silence.

At dawn the next day, the sun shone through the window lattice onto the ground, creating patches of light and shadow. Madam Zhao got up early, dressed up carefully, and hurried to Kunning Palace to meet the queen. However, when she arrived in front of Kunning Palace, she was blocked by Mu Lian.

Mu Lian said to Madam Zhao respectfully, "Ever since the death of Nanny Taji, the Queen has been depressed and ill. It is inconvenient for her to meet with anyone at the moment. Please forgive me, Madam Zhao." After that, he turned and walked into the hall without giving Madam Zhao any time to speak.

When Madam Zhao heard the news, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, but she also knew that it was not appropriate to force it at this time. In desperation, she turned around and walked towards the Summer Palace, ready to report the matter to Concubine Xian.

After entering the Summer Palace, Madam Zhao walked straight to the center of the palace, knelt on her knees, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I was unable to see the queen today. And this morning a servant came to report that Ms. Li's condition has worsened and the situation is very bad. I'm afraid... I'm afraid she won't last more than two days!" Her tone was full of anxiety and worry, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

This was originally her plan! At the beginning, she had carefully planned to force the queen to personally issue an order to send Li Liangren to Yuexiju. But now? She couldn't see the queen! And Li Liangren's condition deteriorated unexpectedly and rapidly, completely out of her original plan.

At first, she thought that Hanguli's illness was not serious. She only needed to wait until Madam Taji passed the seventh day and the queen accepted the concubines in the harem to pay their respects. Even if Hanguli showed signs of recovery, she could easily make her sick again for two days. Then, she could ask the queen in front of everyone whether Li Liangren should be transferred to Yuexiju.

But what she never expected was that Hanguli's condition was so serious. In just three or four days, she was on the verge of death. At this moment, she was filled with endless resentment towards Hanguli. She resented her incompetence and was angry that she had ruined her painstaking plan.

Just as she was trembling all over and waiting for the virtuous concubine to fly into a rage, to her complete surprise, the virtuous concubine showed no anger at all and said calmly: "Forget it, I will mention this matter to the king, you can go back to the palace first!"

Although she was full of doubts, Madam Zhao still replied respectfully: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity."

After saying this, she stood up and was about to say goodbye and return to Yunhe Palace. However, just as she was about to turn around and leave, she accidentally saw from the corner of her eye that Concubine Xian had changed into an extremely gorgeous outfit.

She also discovered that Concubine Xian's eyes revealed an indescribable confidence and determination. Madam Zhao had doubts in her heart, but she did not dare to ask more questions and could only quietly leave the Summer Palace. On the way back to the Cloud Palace,

Madam Zhao thought to herself, "Could it be that the Concubine Xian had already known about Hanguli's illness? Is she going to the Imperial Study to meet the King now?" Thinking of this, Madam Zhao could not help but feel surprised. She only knew about it this morning when the palace maid reported it to her. It seems that the Concubine Xian's spies are really far-reaching.

However, at this moment, as the head of a palace, she had to rush back to Yunhe Palace immediately. After all, there was a concubine who was dying in the palace under her jurisdiction. No matter what, she had to go and visit her in person.

So, Madam Zhao tried to put aside the distracting thoughts in her mind and hurriedly turned back the way she came. She knew that if Concubine Xian was really going to see the king, an imperial edict would probably come soon. If the messenger who came to convey the edict did not see her, the head of the first palace, it might cause some trouble.

Thinking of this, Madam Zhao did not dare to delay for a moment. She quickened her pace, hoping to return to the palace as soon as possible to learn about the development of the situation. After all, since Hanguli's accident, she, the head of the palace, had never visited her. Now that she was about to die, she should also fulfill her responsibilities as the head of the palace.

After a long and tormenting night, Dar and her sister did not fall asleep all night! They always stayed by Hanguli's side, accompanying her every step, fearing that she would have another accident. Finally, when dawn broke, the sky gradually turned pale and the sun shone all over the earth.

However, at this moment, Dahl could no longer care about her and her sister's bloodshot eyes, which looked like pandas. She was anxiously urging Bayer to go and invite the imperial physician. She was eager for the imperial physician to treat the young lady again and ask him for the exact information about the young lady's current condition. After all, what the imperial physician said last night was really worrying. Dahl was full of doubts and uneasiness - was the young lady's condition really as serious as he said?

Dahl was extremely anxious. She just hoped to get a clear answer as soon as possible so that her heart could settle down a little.

Just as Baier was anxiously leading the imperial physician into the room, Madam Zhao followed closely behind him and hurried over. It turned out that she saw Baier hurriedly leading the imperial physician on the way back to the palace, and her heart tightened, so she quickened her pace and followed without hesitation. However, her anxiety was not due to her concern for Hanguli's condition, but because she was worried that Hanguli would take her last breath in her own Yunhe Palace.

After all, there has long been a secret in the palace that is no longer a secret: that is, anyone who is on the verge of death will be sent to Yuexi Residence for resettlement. If Hanguli really died here today, then "this will not only be a bad luck, but also make everyone in the harem feel that their palace is unlucky and will be ridiculed! This must not happen!" Madam Zhao thought to herself. She stepped into the room and her eyes fell on Hanguli's bloodless and dying face.

The Dal sisters quickly bowed: "Greetings, Madam Zhao."

Madam Zhao nodded slightly, motioning them to get up, and then turned to the imperial physician: "Imperial physician, please take a quick look at her. What's her condition now?"

The imperial physician stepped forward and stretched out his hand to feel Hanguli's pulse, but the more he felt, the more his brows furrowed. He replied with a bit of regret: "Madam Zhao, this Liliang's condition is not optimistic. It is more serious than a few days ago."

When Dahl heard this, tears welled up in her eyes. She walked straight to the bed and whispered, "Miss, you must hold on!"

Madam Zhao watched all this indifferently, thinking to herself, "The situation is so serious, I'm afraid she won't live long. I really hope that the virtuous concubine can come with the imperial edict as soon as possible. I really don't want her to stay here for even a second."

Retracting her thoughts, she turned around and looked at the two sisters, Dahl and Baier, and suddenly realized that they looked extremely tired at the moment, which must be due to the meticulous care for several consecutive days and the sleepless night last night.

Thinking of this, she felt very unhappy and sour, so she asked coldly: "How many days can she live?"
