C405 Heartbreak (1/2)
Even the experienced Senior Servant Wen was startled. She used the excuse of expelling cold as an excuse to bestow a bowl of ginger tea, but she didn't expect this young miss to say that she was sensitive to Jiang. Could it be that she saw through something?
If she saw through it, she couldn't let this person stay any longer.
Senior Servant Wen secretly observed Lian's expression, but it didn't seem like she knew anything. However, she was still someone close to the empress dowager, so she instructed:
”Eldest Miss is allergic to ginger. Why don't you two take the ginger tea out? I'll go report to the empress dowager. You guys bring Eldest Miss a cloak.”
”Then I'll have to trouble Senior Servant. I'll personally apologize to Esteemed Empress Dowager later.” Lian Ruyue said apologetically.
”No problem. Eldest Miss, please wait here for a moment. The empress dowager will be arriving soon.” Senior Servant Wen bowed and led the palace maid out of the main hall.
Lian Ruyue sat on the chair and the corner of her eyes leaked out a trace of a sneer.
After a while, Senior Servant Wen came back with the palace maid. This time, she had a cloak in her hand, and the palace maid put it on Lian Ruyue.
Senior Servant Wen said, ”Eldest Miss is allergic to Jiang. Your servant had someone brew a cup of hot tea, so you can drink it while it's hot.”
The palace maid crossed the threshold and walked in. She lowered her head and held a cup of steaming tea in her hand as she walked towards Lian Ruyue. Her fists were clenched tightly in her sleeves.
”Let me go, let me go! I want to see my grandmother!” Right at this moment, a loud noise came from outside. Senior Servant Wen turned her head and saw a figure rushing in, accidentally tripping over the doorstep and landing on the body of the palace maid who was carrying the tea. The palace maid dropped the hot tea in her hand with a 'pa' sound, and the teacup shattered, scattering the tea all over the ground.
Lian Ruyue looked over and saw that the person who fell on the ground was actually — —
”Princess Eleven!” She quickly stood up, quickly walked over, and crouched beside Feng Lingyue to help her up.
”Lian Ruyue, why are you here?” Feng Ling Yue's face revealed a surprised expression, but she quickly looked at the palace maid, and blinked her eyes towards Lian Ru Yue. She then secretly pinched her arm, conveying a certain message to her.
Lian Ruyue understood and nodded slightly before saying, ”To reply the princess, Esteemed Empress Dowager sent me here. I was waiting for the princess to come running over in a hurry, so I don't know what happened?”
”Hurry up and go, call someone in to clean up!” Senior Servant Wen fiercely glared at the errant palace maid and scolded her in a low voice. She had failed twice in a row, so she definitely could not do it a third time. Otherwise, Lian Ruyue would be suspicious. She could only report that Her Majesty's plan had failed.
”Yes, this servant obeys.” The palace maid hurriedly left.
Feng Lingyue clenched her teeth and pushed Lianyue away, walking in front of Senior Servant Wen, tightly grasping her hand. She couldn't help but cry and said, ”Senior Servant, I've come three or four times already, please tell Royal Grandmother that I want to see her. My mother is really sick.”
Senior Servant Wen looked at the Eleventh Princess in front of her. The golden leaves from the past were like the wind and the rain, but now, she was wearing a coarse robe and doing the work of a palace maid every day.
She sighed and took a step back before nodding. ”Princess, it's not that this old servant isn't willing to help you, but this old servant once mentioned this to the empress dowager. Her heart was broken by the empress dowager and she wasn't willing to see you.”
Hearing this, Feng Lingyue's face revealed a heartbroken expression. She raised her hand to wipe her tears, saying, ”Then what do we do?” What about my mother? ”
”Princess, the empress dowager is reciting scriptures in the buddhist hall. If the report makes her angry instead, this old servant will find a suitable time to mention it to the empress dowager. Today, you can go back first.” Senior Servant Wen comforted her.
