I turned the cold palace into a paradise

After dinner in the evening, when the weather was a little cooler, Li Wanhua worked tirelessly as an errand boy, delivering messages to various courtyards.

The two discussed for an entire afternoon and finally decided to pretend to celebrate Yunyue's birthday, otherwise there would be no good reason to invite them to be their guests. Anyway, except for Li Wanhua, an acquaintance, no one else could remember when Yunyue, who grew up in the frontier, had her birthday.

Li Wanhua went to Concubine Wang's courtyard first. After all, Concubine Wang was the person she knew best in the cold palace, and they had had several meals together, so she would not refuse.

Sure enough, when Li Wanhua said that Yunyue’s birthday was the day after tomorrow and she wanted to invite everyone to dinner, Concubine Wang had a look of dismay on her face but still agreed.

Looking at Li Wanhua's back, Nanny Xu asked curiously, "Isn't Miss Yun's birthday yet to come?" Nanny Xu and Concubine Wang knew the birth date of Yun Yue, who was engaged to the crown prince, because of him.

"I think he has some new ideas. It would be harmless to go and take a look." The Queen Mother said calmly while turning the Buddhist beads in her hand.

Ouyang Shu sat on the bed, holding the plain bed sheet tightly in her hands, staring out the window in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking. The afterglow outside the window shone through the open window and sprinkled on the bed. However, as the sunset slowly fell, the vermilion wall seemed to get higher little by little, blocking the light. Slowly, the light on Ouyang Shu was swallowed by the shadow.

When the last ray of light on her body disappeared, Ouyang Shu sighed, stood up, moved the stool under the beam, stepped on it, and threw the bed sheet in her hand onto the beam.

"Great talent, are you there?" A loud voice came from the gate of the courtyard.

Ouyang Shu was so frightened that her hands trembled and she didn't throw the sheet up. She pretended not to hear and continued to throw it.

"Hey! Open the door! Great talent, I know you are here. If you don't open the door, I will break it down." Li Wanhua knew Ouyang Shu. Although she was not like other fake talents who had read two books and mocked her. But the arrogant attitude of not talking to her made Li Wanhua bear a grudge for a long time.

"How can there be a woman as ignorant of etiquette as you!" Ouyang Shu opened the door, frowned and scolded Li Wanhua.

Seeing her rare emotional fluctuations, Li Wanhua grinned and said, "Girl, it's Yunyue's birthday the day after tomorrow. Let me invite you to the birthday party."

"No." Ouyang Shu was about to close the door, but Li Wanhua pushed it open with her hand and she couldn't close it.

"Girl, you are so rude! Yunyue invited you to her birthday party and you rejected her so ruthlessly!"

"What does it have to do with me? I don't know her well."

"How can we not be familiar with each other? In terms of status, the imperial concubine is older than you, and in terms of seniority, you are her elder." After all, she is the concubine of the late emperor and the concubine of the late emperor's son. "No way? Could it be that the daughter of the Ouyang family, who values ​​etiquette the most, would actually be like this?"

"Oh my god!" Ouyang Shu took a deep breath, glanced at Li Wanhua indifferently and closed the door.

"Hey, you have to bring gifts when you visit!" Li Wanhua shouted and then left humming a tune.

Ouyang Shu returned to the house and looked at the bed sheet on the beam, lowering her eyes slightly. Forget it, just live a few more days.

The most difficult Ouyang Shu was dealt with, and the next one was to invite Yu Meiren and Huang Cairen. The courtyards of these two people were adjacent, so Li Wanhua went into Yu Meiren's courtyard first. After entering the courtyard, she found Huang Cairen was also there.

Lady Yu and the other lady were embroidering handkerchiefs, and were a little surprised to see Li Wanhua walk in.

"What are you here for?" Huang Cairen thought she was here to bring him food, but when she saw that she had nothing in her hands, she couldn't help but feel disappointed and said unhappily.

"Why? The cold palace is still your home and you can't go there." Li Wanhua retorted.

"It's Yunyue's birthday the day after tomorrow. I'm inviting you all to dinner. Do you want to go?"

"Go, go, go!" Huang Cairen agreed quickly. What a joke, Yunyue's place smells of all kinds of food every day, if it weren't for face, I would have gone to grab it long ago.

Lady Yu was helpless and wanted to ask a few more questions, but Lady Huang agreed. She had no choice but to agree, "Okay."

"Okay, I'm leaving now. Remember not to come empty-handed!" He said, and walked away with his head raised to the sky.

"You agreed too quickly. Aren't you afraid that this might be a Hongmen Banquet?" Lady Yu said helplessly.

"What are you afraid of? We are useless in this cold palace. I don't care even if she has ulterior motives. As long as there is food, it's fine."

Now there is only one left, Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu was different from others. She had children. She gave birth to a princess. It stands to reason that concubines with princes and princesses would not be sent to the cold palace. But her eight-year-old daughter, Princess Anle, was a traitor to her mother. When the second prince ascended the throne, she actually shouted that the prince was not dead and that he was not allowed to ascend the throne. The second prince did not blame Princess Anle, but only said that she missed the prince too much and that they had a deep brother-sister relationship. However, because she disrupted the coronation ceremony, Concubine Liu did not teach her daughter well, and her mother suffered the consequences, so she sent the Concubine to the cold palace.

Li Wanhua curled her lips. What do you mean by not teaching my daughter well? This matter can be a big deal or a small one. If he really loves his sister, he will only appreciate Princess Anle's feelings for her brother. In the end, this was just the second prince's revenge. He said he didn't blame her, but turned around and banished her mother to the cold palace. The little princess didn't know how much she should blame herself and feel sad. It was really disgusting.

It was almost dark when Li Wanhua arrived at the gate of Concubine Liu's courtyard.

"Liu Taifei, are you there? I have something to talk to you about." Li Wanhua knocked on the door, and when she heard no movement from inside, she shouted a few words. Still no movement.

Li Wanhua was a little confused. It was not yet dark, and Concubine Liu should not have gone to bed so early. Even if she was asleep, she would have been woken up by the loud noise.

After calling a few more times, there was still no response. Li Wanhua wondered if he was just strolling around, so she decided to come back tomorrow and left.

At this time, Concubine Liu was lying on the bed, barely breathing. There was vomit all over the bed and the floor. She heard the shouts and wanted to answer, but she couldn't make a sound. The knocks on the door stopped, and Concubine Liu tried to struggle to get up, but she couldn't open her eyes.

Don't go...

Save me...

But the world was quiet. No one came. No one except her daughter would remember that she was in the cold palace.

The second prince is ambitious and not a good emperor. My daughter has offended him. What should I do in the future...

My body seemed to be getting lighter, but my eyelids were getting heavier.

Am I going to die? It's such a pity that I haven't seen my daughter grow up and get married yet...

I seemed to hear faintly the sound of someone knocking on the door.

Then it seemed as if someone was calling me.

"Liu Taifei, don't sleep! Think about Anle." Yunyue looked at Liu Taifei's eyelids while wearing a mask and took her pulse. She said to Li Wanhua, "She must have eaten something bad and is now dehydrated. If she is not treated, she will be in danger. Wanhua, find a clean quilt in the yard and spread it, then carry her to the yard."

The house was filthy, and Yunyue almost felt like vomiting even though she was wearing a mask.

Li Wanhua looked at the dirty Concubine Liu reluctantly, but no one else could move Concubine Liu except herself. She had to hold her breath and carry her to the yard. She put Concubine Liu down and ran away.

"Yunyue, I can't take it anymore. I have to vomit. I'll leave this to you. I'm going to go outside and vomit." Woohoo, so disgusting. It was already disgusting, and because of the hot weather, the vomit fermented and became even more disgusting.

Although Yunyue was not feeling well, as a doctor in the emergency department, she had seen all kinds of patients. So she did not react that much. While Li Wanhua was away, Yunyue quickly flashed into the space and made a cup of water with sugar and salt. She fed it to Concubine Liu. Fortunately, although Concubine Liu was fuzzy, she was still able to drink it.

After feeding the water, I looked at Liu Taifei's condition, thought about it and finally did not take out the glucose in the space. Although the infusion would make the patient heal faster, it was not suitable to take it out.

He walked into the house and found a clean cotton cloth, wet it with water and gently wiped the dirt off her face. At this time, Li Wanhua, with a pale face, also came back.

It was obvious that she had vomited. Yun Yue said apologetically: "Wanhua, please bring Concubine Liu to my yard. I can't leave her here alone in this state."

Li Wanhua's eyes widened, her expression was full of resistance, but when she saw that her face had been wiped clean by Yunyue, the nausea in her heart finally subsided. She put the mask back on, resignedly picked up Concubine Liu and walked towards Yunyue's yard.

Yunyue smiled, quickly went into the house, picked up two pieces of clothes from the closet, and strode after him.

There was a smaller room next to Yunyue's kitchen, which was originally for the maid to live in. But Yunyue didn't have a maid, so she had planned to put some sundries there in the future, but now she would settle Concubine Liu. Yunyue had cleaned this room before, so she just took another set of clean bedding and laid it out.

Although Li Wanhua kept complaining and her hands were very clumsy in their movements, she still cooperated with Yunyue to wash Concubine Liu's body, change her clothes, and tidy up Concubine Liu.

"Wanhua, leave this to me, go back and wash up. I'll make you something delicious tomorrow." Yunyue felt a little distressed when she saw Li Wanhua sweating profusely. Although she was the daughter of a military commander, she had never done such things before.

Li Wanhua hesitated for a moment and refused: "You are not feeling well now, so I will take care of you." Although she was very unhappy, she had never taken care of others in her life, and today she even had to do such a dirty job. But thinking that Yunyue was pregnant and could not work hard, she still refused.

"It's okay. She's stable now. I live in the next room, so I'll know immediately if there's any movement. Don't disturb my rest. But you should go back and wash and change your clothes. They stink. If there's anything wrong, I'll call you and I won't be polite to you."

Li Wanhua's face turned even paler after hearing this. She then noticed that she had a lot of dirt on her body when she hugged Concubine Liu just now. She smelled sour. Li Wanhua resisted the urge to vomit and immediately ran to her room. She kept screaming in her heart, I'm dirty! ! ! I want to take a shower! ! !

After Li Wanhua's back disappeared into the darkness, Yunyue bolted the gate. She checked the sleeping Concubine Liu again and found that her breathing had become steady. She felt relieved. She flashed into the space and took a comfortable bath. Although she was used to such patients as a doctor, she still couldn't stand it.

Now that Concubine Liu lived next door, Yunyue did not sleep in the space at night in order to avoid the secret being discovered. She slept honestly on the pearwood bed. Because of the ice made of saltpeter, the room was not stuffy. Yunyue did not recognize the bed and soon fell into a sweet dream.
