Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 246 Aunt Lan’s Gift

"Chu Dai, I'm afraid that aunt won't make it. Your second sister has already said that aunt doesn't have much time left. If it weren't for your second sister's medicine, I'm afraid aunt wouldn't survive the New Year. Chu Dai, please find a way to get your second sister to call me." After Aunt Lan finished speaking, she coughed again.

Yun Chudai felt very uncomfortable after listening to Aunt Lan's words. She quickly supported Aunt Lan, let her half lie down, then poured a cup of warm water and carefully fed it to Aunt Lan.

Aunt Lan's chapped lips were finally moisturized. She looked at Yun Chudai, her eyes full of reluctance and worry: "Chudai, you must take good care of yourself in the future and don't let Auntie worry... cough cough cough..." As she spoke, she started coughing violently again.

Yun Chudai patted Aunt Lan's back distressedly, tears streaming down her face. "Aunt, you will definitely get better! I'll go find my second sister and ask her to come see you!"

Aunt Lan shook her head, her voice weak and hoarse: "No, Chu Dai, don't go. Your second sister can't save me. I can't do it anymore..."

Yun Chudai held Aunt Lan's hand tightly and said firmly: "Aunt, I must try! Please wait for me to come back!"

She turned around and walked out of the room quickly, wiping her tears while thinking about how she could see Yun Yuxi.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind - she could change into men's clothes and go in through the side door of the palace to find Yun Yuxi.

Thinking of this, Yun Chudai immediately returned to her room and found a men's suit to change into. She tidied her hair and clothes in front of the mirror, making sure there were no flaws before leaving the house with peace of mind.

Yun Chudai trotted to the side door of the Regent's Palace, but was stopped by the guard. She panted and said to the guard: "Please go and tell the princess that Yun Chudai wants to see me!" After that, she stuffed a piece of silver into the guard's hand.

The guard glanced at the silver in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and nodded: "Okay, then you wait here for a while, I will ask the princess if she is willing to see you."

Yun Chudai nodded gratefully and waited anxiously. As time passed, she paced back and forth, praying in her heart that Yun Yuxi would agree to see her.

In Nuanyu Pavilion, Yun Yuxi was leisurely basking in the sun. Suddenly, a maid came to report: "Princess, there is someone named Yun Chudai outside who wants to see you."

Yun Yuxi frowned, wondering why Yun Chudai came to see her? Was it because of Aunt Lan's matter? She thought of the previous conversation with Aunt Lan and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

"Bring it in!" Yun Yuxi replied coldly.

Soon Yun Chudai, dressed in men's clothes, was brought in. When Yun Chudai saw Yun Yuxi, she burst into tears and knelt in front of Yun Yuxi, begging Yun Yuxi to see Aunt Lan for the last time. In her heart, she hoped that Yun Yuxi could save Aunt Lan.

"Chu Dai, stop crying. Aunt Lan may not make it this time. Even I can't do anything. Here is a bottle of liquid medicine. Take it back and give it to Aunt Lan. I'll come back in the evening. You take good care of Aunt Lan and don't let anyone find out that you're leaving the house."

After saying that, Yun Yuxi took out a bottle of spiritual spring water from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Yun Chudai, then sent Yun Chudai away.

Yun Yuxi knew that Aunt Lan wanted to see her and was afraid that she really had something to tell her, so she told Yan Wuque about it during dinner. However, Yan Wuque insisted on accompanying her to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion at night.

"You, I really admire you. My martial arts skills are now not something that ordinary people can beat. I'm just going to the prime minister's residence, but you're worried." Yun Yuxi complained, feeling sweet in her heart.

That night, Yun Yuxi dressed lightly in black, and Yan Wuque put on a ghost mask, and the two disappeared in the palace.

In the prime minister's residence, Liu was in a happy mood when she came back, but she was scolded by the prime minister, and her face was distorted with anger.

"Master, you actually scolded me for no reason. What did I do wrong? Why do you treat me like this? Do you really want to promote Zhiyu and make me make room?" Liu roared.

The prime minister looked at Liu with a dark face, raised his hand and slapped her in the face. Liu's hair was crooked, and he shouted: "If it weren't for the children, I would really kill you. What did you do when you went out today? Don't you know?"

Liu thought her affair was exposed, her face turned pale, and she immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Master, I will never dare to do it again, I will never dare to do it again." She cried and was very sad.

The prime minister looked at Liu who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and thought that Liu knew she was wrong, so he turned around and left and went to Zhiyu's yard.

After the prime minister left, the personal nanny immediately helped Liu up and comforted her, "Madam, it should not be this matter. You have been slandering the second young lady everywhere during the day. I am afraid that this matter has reached the ears of the prime minister."

Liu's face was gloomy and uncertain. As she thought about it carefully, her heart skipped a beat and she was filled with fear.

At Jinglan Garden, Aunt Lan drank the spiritual spring water brought back by Yun Chudai. She felt much more energetic and her cough was relieved. She waited patiently for Yun Yuxi to arrive.

Yun Chudai stayed with Aunt Lan and refused to leave. Aunt Lan tried every possible means to get rid of Yun Chudai. Yun Yuxi, dressed in black, landed beside Aunt Lan's couch.

"Is it the second young lady?" Aunt Lan asked hurriedly with hope in her eyes.

"It's me. I wonder what you want to talk to me about, aunt?" As he spoke, he took Aunt Lan's pulse and then said, "Aunt, there are only three days left. Is there anything you need to tell me?"

"Second Miss, I only ask you to protect Chu Dai and her brother. These are some shops under my name. I have secretly bought them over the years. I also have a small house. Please keep it for Chu Dai and her brother."

"Aunt, aren't you afraid that I will embezzle the money? You trust me so much." Yun Yuxi looked at Aunt Lan with a smile.

Aunt Lan forced a bitter smile and said: "Who else can I trust except you? You naturally look down on these. I have a gift and a message for the second young lady."

Yun Yuxi helped Aunt Lan lean against the head of the bed, and heard Aunt Lan speak softly.

"Second Miss, I drugged the Prime Minister. From now on, he will no longer be able to have children. This happened years ago. The child in Zhiyu's belly was also my own. There is one more thing I want to tell you, shall I?"

Yun Yuxi knew that this matter was probably very important, so she took a deep breath and said, "Aunt, please feel free to tell me."

"Second Miss, I know Zhiyu is yours, but I'm afraid that Zhiyu has been blinded by the wealth of the Prime Minister's Mansion and has developed a rebellious heart. Although Zhiyu seems to be noncompetitive, she actually understands people's hearts the best. The master has the idea of ​​making her his co-wife."

"Thank you for telling me, aunt. Please take care of yourself. I can do what I promised you. I will protect Chu Dai and her brother. It's okay." After saying this, Yun Yuxi disappeared in Jinglan Garden.

Aunt Lan looked at Yun Yuxi's departing back, with an evil smile on her lips.
