The room was in a mess and smelled bad. Wan Ning immediately opened the door and windows to ventilate the room, and then went to the bed to check on Lan Fei's condition. After being hungry for a day and struggling for half a day, there were red marks on her wrists. She had no strength left and lay listlessly on the bed, staring at Wan Ning with her eyes wide open.

"Are you hungry? I will untie your ropes now and take you to another room to take a shower. After you are clean, I will treat you to a big meal, but you are not allowed to struggle or hit anyone. If you don't listen and cooperate, I will not give you any food and you will be tied up here. Is that okay?"

After rolling her eyes and thinking for a moment, Lan Fei nodded obediently and waited patiently for all the restraints on her body to be untied. Then, when Wan Ning was not paying attention, she pushed her away and ran out of the room shouting and threatening.

Although Xiang Wanxuan is located in a remote area, it is possible for an unconscious person to run anywhere. If he bumps into someone and exposes his identity, the consequences will be disastrous. Wan Ning didn't care about the pain from the bumps on his body, and jumped up and chased after him.

So Wan Ning didn't care about the bumps on her body, she immediately jumped up and chased after him, shouting, "Don't run, don't run around."

Wan Tao, who was boiling water in the kitchen, heard the shouting and rushed out without putting down her tools. Seeing a man waving his hands and baring his teeth rushing towards her, she bravely stepped forward and hugged Lan Fei around the waist. She originally thought that Lan Fei, who was confused, would continue to struggle or attack her, but surprisingly, this was not the case.

Instead, he was surprisingly calm. He didn't make any noise, standing there like a piece of wood. His body seemed a little stiff and dazed, as if he didn't know what to do.

Wan Ning followed with her arm covered, wiping the sweat from her forehead and saying thankfully, "Finally we stopped her. It would have been dangerous if she ran away." Then she became curious and put her hands on her hips to carefully look at Lan Fei hiding in Wan Tao's arms. She tried her best to turn her face away and became unusually silent.

"You know what, she's actually very peaceful in your arms, but why is she so afraid of me? I'm not scary!" Wan Ning muttered softly.

Wan Tao was also confused at this time, and she couldn't figure out what was going on, so she asked Wan Ning about the identity of this person: "The princess is naturally not scary, but approachable. Princess, who is this person?"

Wan Ning lowered her voice, but her eyes were fixed on Concubine Lan's evasive face and clenched fists. She gently touched her lips and said, "The late emperor's Concubine Lan - Pei Lan."

Wan Tao subconsciously clenched her fists, her heartbeat quickened, and she asked, "Empress Lan? Didn't she die many years ago?"

Such explosive news, a person who had been dead for many years suddenly resurrected and appeared in front of him, such a scene would shock anyone. Wan Ning thought Wan Tao was also shocked, so she didn't take it seriously. She walked straight to the two of them, put her arm around Lan Fei's back, and together with Wan Tao, she lifted Lan Fei's arm and took her to another room.

"Concubine Lan is not dead. She has been kept in the basement of Wuming Palace for so many years. Concubine Yi usually takes care of her. Now that Wuming Palace no longer exists, there is no better place to put her. We can only bring her to Xiang Wanxuan and find a suitable place for her."

This news was too shocking, so he asked, "He's not dead, how could he not be dead?"

"It's not clear yet. Concubine Yi didn't say more. Let's take Concubine Lan to wash up first. We'll talk about what happened later."

"Uh-huh."

The two finally worked together to bring Lan Fei to a new, clean room. Seeing this, Wan Tao turned around and wanted to go back to the kitchen to continue boiling water, but Lan Fei held her wrist tightly and refused to let go. She was also much quieter than usual. Wan Tao couldn't break free and turned back to look at Wan Ning for help. Unexpectedly, Wan Ning just waved her hand, stood up, and ordered: "Lan Fei seems to like you very much. It seems that she wants you to stay with her. In this case, you stay here with her, and I will go to boil water."

Lan Fei, who was beside Wan Tao, was very relaxed. She actually fell asleep on her shoulder, her body rising and falling with Wan Tao's breathing. Not long after, Wan Ning poured the boiled water into the wooden barrel, and the rising hot steam gradually obscured Wan Ning's vision.

With Wan Tao's participation, Lan Fei cooperated very well in the bathing process, and washed away the stains of many years on her body, revealing her true face. Because she had hardly been exposed to the sun for many years, Lan Fei's skin was extremely white, and there was almost no blood on her body. Her blood and qi were seriously deficient, so even her lips were only slightly red. Her eyes were drooping, and her eyebrows were full of panic and anxiety.

Lan Fei, who had just washed herself, was also unusually relaxed. She hid in the tub timidly, only showing her eyes, refusing to come out. Wan Ning squatted down to be level with her, slowly climbed up the edge of the tub with both hands, smiled kindly, and said softly, "The water here is getting cold. Come out and we will help you clean it, okay? Then put on this dress and comb a nice hairstyle to match it, okay?"

It was a coincidence that when Wan Ning was looking for clothes for Lan Fei, she happened to see the dress that was specially made to restore Lan Fei's appearance when she was young during the memorial event for Lan Fei. Perhaps this dress made Lan Fei feel familiar, and she stared at it for a while before finally taking the initiative to stretch out her hand, and Wan Tao and Wan Ning helped her put on the dress and brought her to the mirror.

She walked slowly, and for a moment she was a little dazed, thinking that she was still the same as when she entered the palace. Slowly, step by step, with a nervous heart, she walked to the dressing table, and the huge mirror instantly reflected her original appearance. The weak and bitter cheeks, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, the drooping corners of the mouth... everything looked so unfamiliar.

Lan Fei was so hot-headed that she couldn't accept it for a moment. She threw everything on the dressing table, even the mirror. She squatted in the corner, covered her head, and muttered to herself.

"What is Concubine Lan saying?" Wan Tao asked.

Wan Ning shook her head and took a step closer to hear her mumbling, but this slight movement made Lan Fei even more excited and irritable. So, Wan Ning stopped and smiled helplessly: "Forget it, Lan Fei can't stand the stimulation now, she should be hungry. I just saw some vegetables and noodles in the kitchen, can you go and cook her a bowl of noodles?"

"Yeah, I'll go now."

After cleaning up today's mess, it was almost dawn, leaving Wan Tao alone in the room with Lan Fei Wan Ning quietly left. The moment she opened the door, the cool breeze of the night blew in her face, and the coolness made Wan Ning no longer sleepy and finally had time to review everything that happened today. She turned around, closed the door, walked into the darkness, sat on the swing in the yard, and let the coolness invade her whole body.

The ending of Concubine Yi and Ziheng's indifference today made her completely lose her attachment to this place. She was thinking about how to get out. Looking at the dim candlelight in the room, she was thinking about how to accommodate Concubine Lan who suddenly appeared.
