Chapter 123 Intelligence
You hour, Yu Fu Palace.
Coughs were heard from the inner hall, adding some noise to the originally deserted palace.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were doing the cleaning work outside also tensed up, with worry evident on their faces.
Ever since Song Wanru contracted typhoid fever, they no longer had to worry about the disease infecting them, so they always gave the job of delivering things to their personal maid Xiangcao.
Avoid being affected by Song Wanru's bad luck.
Although Song Wanru has woken up now, her condition does not seem to have improved at all and she has started coughing abnormally.
They were afraid that if he died in the inner sanctum, their reputations would be ruined, and they would not be taken seriously even if they went to other palaces afterwards.
Uh, cough, cough——
"Vanilla, give me some water." Song Wanru said to Vanilla weakly, her face pale and her eyes slightly red.
"My lord, drink slowly."
After hearing this, Vanilla immediately brought the teacup to Song Wanru.
She originally wanted to tell Song Wanru the news that Song Nanxiang of Wangyueju was promoted to imperial concubine, but when she saw Song Wanru looking so weak.
She felt a little bit reluctant.
cough cough-
Song Wanru drank some water but continued to cough.
She always felt a burning sensation in her throat, as if it smelled of blood.
When she was about to turn over and lie down, she saw Vanilla's hesitant face, with some concern.
"Is there anything to report?"
Song Wanru asked softly, trying hard to hold back the cough caused by the itchy throat.
"Your Majesty! I heard from the palace maid outside that the Shufei of Wangyueju has been promoted to Shuguifei." Xiangcao said in a deep voice with a faint sigh in her tone.
After hearing this, Song Wanru was just a little surprised and no longer had any desire.
Now that she has contracted typhoid fever, her own health is the most important thing. So what even if Song Nanxiang becomes the queen?
What does it have to do with her?
Now she just wants to take good care of her body so that she will have more chances to win the emperor's favor.
"Yes! I understand. But have you sent someone to deliver the gift?"
Song Wanru thought of something and asked.
"My lady! The emperor has sealed the Yufu Palace and ordered no one to approach or leave."
There was a flash of gloom in Vanilla's eyes, and she looked at Song Wanru with some pity.
"Banned? When did it happen? Why didn't you report it to me?" Song Wanru asked in a low voice, suppressing the anger in her heart.
Now she really doesn't have the energy to get angry. Before, she could get angry however she wanted, but now she is powerless.
"The young master was unconscious at the time. He couldn't be woken up!"
Vanilla explained and immediately squatted down.
"Why are you the only one in the palace? Where are the other palace maids?"
Looking at the empty bedroom, Song Wanru's eyes were filled with confusion.
"My Lord. They are all scared!"
After hearing this, Song Wanru just found it extremely funny.
They were actually afraid. She remembered how these palace maids tried to curry favor with her and wanted to take Vanilla's place. Now they were afraid.
"Why, you're not afraid?"
"My Lord! It's useless for me to be afraid. This is my duty."
"You are quite sensible!"
……
Outside Yufu Palace.
Xu Ziang found a random excuse and came to Yufu Palace cautiously.
The last time he went to Wangyueju to ask for medicine, although the process was a bit risky, he managed to wake up Song Wanru.
This made him feel a lot more relaxed.
This time, he came quietly to inquire about how Song Wanru's recovery was going.
He knocked on the vermilion door as usual.
Soon a palace maid poked her head out from the gap.
"Guard Xu, you're here again?"
The palace maid's tone was a little surprised. Xu Ziang had come too often, but when she thought of Xu Ziang's worth, she didn't know what to say.
"The Emperor ordered me to inquire about Sheng Ruda's condition so that the imperial physician can diagnose it."
Xu Ziang said in a calm voice.
To be honest, he was not sure about this act of impersonating an imperial edict, but when he thought of the seriously ill Song Wanru, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
"The young lady's condition has worsened. She is coughing violently now, and it sounds like she is about to cough up blood." The palace maid recounted what she heard and saw.
"How could this be? When was the last time the imperial physician saw me?"
Xu Ziang looked surprised, and the worry in his eyes grew.
"I don't know either. The imperial physician came in the evening yesterday, left some medicine and left. He said that the young lady should take good care of herself!"
"Take good care of your young master!"
As Xu Ziang spoke, his expression gradually darkened.
He remembered that when Song Nanxiang took out this thing, she saved countless palace maids and eunuchs. Why didn't it work for Song Wanru?
What step is missing here?
Could it be that Song Nanxiang harbored resentment towards Song Wanru and was unwilling to provide thorough treatment, and only wanted to delay Song Wanru's illness and let her slowly die?
Thinking of this, a fierce look flashed across Xu Ziang's eyes, and his gaze became calm and deep.
If Nanxiang heard this, she would definitely shout and claim that she was innocent.
The condition of each patient infected with typhoid fever is different. Song Wanru delayed treatment for a long time, and her body was already weak. In addition, typhoid fever is a recurrent disease, so it still depends on the patient's immunity.
……
Wangyueju.
At this time, Kikuhei came into the palace with some anger, and said to Nanxiang who was sitting on the couch in a deep voice, "Your Majesty! That guard Xu is here again."
"He's here again?"
Nanxiang frowned slightly after hearing this, but did not show any extra emotion.
She was just worrying about how to find Xu Ziang to ask something, but she didn't expect that this guy would come to her on his own initiative.
She won't let him off easily this time.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she had already thought of a way to deal with him.
"Tell him to wait outside for a while. Just say I just got up and need to clean up."
Nanxiang said this and went back to drinking her tea.
After a long time, Nan Xiang got up and walked into the courtyard. Looking at Xu Ziang with a gloomy face outside the hall, she couldn't help but smile.
This Song Wanru's bootlicker is really affectionate. Not only did he chase her to the palace, he even dared to come to Wangyueju alone to threaten the imperial concubine.
"Guard Xu, what's the matter?"
Nanxiang asked in a deep voice, with a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
Song Wanru's dog won't bite anyone if it gets mad.
"Why has Song Wanru's condition worsened? Is her cough more severe?"
Xu Ziang questioned in a cold voice, his face gloomy and his eyes cold.
"Song Wanru's recovery is not good, not because her condition is too serious. Guard Xu, do you think that a woman like me can change anything?"
"Is there any way you can save her?"
Xu Ziang's eyes turned slightly and he asked in a commanding tone.
"Of course there is a way. I just need Guard Xu to provide some information."
Nan Xiang spoke leisurely, glancing lightly at Xu Ziang who was lost in thought.
"What information do you want?"
After hearing Nan Xiang's words, Xu Ziang's eyes immediately became evasive.
'She knows about me?'
"If Guard Xu wants me to treat Song Wanru, he must hand over information of equal value."
Nan Xiang curled the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled happily, and glanced at Xu Ziang steadily, as if she could see through him.
