Seeing that the Princess Anyang had finally left, Liu Mengdia was prepared to chat with him a little more about the little girl from Hong.

He leaned on the bed and slid down, the Mrs. Liu pulled up his blanket and weakly said to Liu Mengdia: ”Alright, I'm very tired, you should go back first, in the future, do not be as reckless as you are today.”

”I …” was at a loss for words, what recklessness, it was obvious that there was something she was hiding from her. Liu Mengdia bit her lower lip angrily, but seeing that Mrs. Liu had already closed her eyes, she knew that Mrs. Liu did not want to say anything, and wanted to send her away.

Although Liu Mengdia was unwilling, she could do nothing about it. She could only bend her body, and gently said: ”Yes, then daughter will be going back first. If mother has any needs, please feel free to let the servants come and call me.”

After saying that, Liu Mengdia walked out of the room. She stretched her head out into the private room to take a look, but she did not see anything.

”Miss, could it be that you suspect that there is a trick to this?” After coming out from Mrs. Liu's room, she had been thinking about something, so she opened her mouth to ask.

Liu Mengdia nodded with a heavy heart. Although all of this seemed normal, Liu Mengdia still felt that something was amiss. But she couldn't say what was wrong.

This was the most annoying part.

”Princess Anyang has always been on good terms with Mother. Mother was sick today and came over as soon as she was in a hurry. However, there wasn't any hint of worry in her words as she was busy reprimanding me …”

Liu Mengdia thought about Princess Anyang's high and mighty look and hated him so much that her teeth itched. If she could marry into the palace one day, how could she still be angry about it?

Although Liu Ruyan looked honest, she was actually quite shrewd. The position of the favored consort she was in right now should clearly be hers!

”There's something fishy about Mother's illness.” Liu Mengdia turned around to take a look, then continued: ”Other than my pitiful older sister, who else could Mother pretend to be sick for!?”

”But yesterday, two of our eunuchs came over, and they also said that Concubine Hui's smallpox is approaching menacingly, and is now isolated in the courtyard. No one is allowed to visit, and His Majesty has repeatedly refused to enter even if he wanted to.

”No matter how smart Concubine Hui is, she can't be deceived along with His Majesty. Don't you think so?

”Although the old lady is sick, this servant does not seem worried. It's just that when people get older, their bodies tend to have problems. Maybe the Princess Anyang knows that the old lady is fine, so she shouldn't come over to talk with the old lady.”

Just now, when Liu Mengdia entered the room, everything seemed to be normal, but she could not find anything out of the ordinary. She looked around the room, but did not see anything out of the ordinary.

Could it be that she was being overly worried?

”Forget it, maybe I am really being paranoid now, and that big sister of mine doesn't have the guts to deceive His Majesty, the crime of bullying the Sovereign, that would implicate our General's Mansion!”

Liu Mengdia finally convinced herself and raised her hand to straighten her sideburns. Liu Mengdia looked at Ping`er and laughed: ”You are clever, I will take five taels of silver from my room as a reward.”

Ping`er's face revealed joy, she immediately turned and thanked Liu Mengdia.

Speaking of which, if her elder sister really had the thing that killed people due to smallpox, then wouldn't she be in grave danger now? That Hong girl …
