Chapter 85
Although Shen Qing cared about her eldest son and daughter-in-law who were in the southwest, and also cared about her second son and daughter-in-law who had just gone to Yangzhou to take office, but she was more worried about her daughter who was about to be widowed in the capital.

Although Shen Qing didn't say anything, how could Wan Jinlan not see the worry in her eyes.

After sitting in the garden for a while, Lord Zhen Guo, who had gone out to meet friends, returned home.

Wan Jinlan went to the study with his father and asked him to help find someone with excellent knife skills.

Zhen Guogong does not agree with her self-assertion.

Wan Jinlan told her that Xiao Zheng came to her to make a deal last night, and then said that she went to the palace today and informed the Queen Mother.

"Father, I'm just making extra preparations." It's not her style to pin all your hopes on others.

If the situation is imminent and there is no other way, she will definitely let someone do it.

After pondering, Lord Zhen nodded, "Leave this matter to me."

Wan Jinlan went to see her grandfather again before returning to Prince Qi's mansion.

Seeing Xiao Feng's condition was something she had to do every day, and she was used to scrubbing him and feeding him gruel. Massaging his legs was something a young apprentice of the imperial physician would do, but she didn't need to do it.

"Master, Jiang Huo's health is back to normal, and I'm here to say hello to the master." Chun Tao came in from the outside, holding a white jade bottle with flowers in it, and placed it on the table by the window.

Wan Jinlan put down the medical book in her hand and went to the hall.

Jiang Huo is Xiao Feng's subordinate. He parted ways with Xiao Feng because he was hunted down in Yangzhou. He has been recovering from his injuries since he returned to the mansion half a month ago.

"I happen to have something to give you to do."

Wan Jinlan only had two hidden guards in her hands, which were allocated to her by her grandfather, one Yu Song and one An Xi. After recovering from her injuries, An Xi went to Xuzhou to check on the situation of Brother Zhijing.As for Yu Song, he followed Xie Laosan to the southwest.

Jiang Huo asked respectfully: "I don't know what the princess wants my subordinates to do?"

Wan Jinlan said: "Go and watch the movement of Beigong."

Jiang Huo took his order and withdrew.

Nine days passed in a flash, and Jiang Huo only sent back the news that someone was following Beigong.

Wan Jinlan slept soundly at night, when the movement from her hand woke her up.

It was not the first time that convulsions and vomiting of blood had happened. Wan Jinlan put the medicine left by Yu Qi in front of Xiao Feng's nose, and then asked Chun Tao to call Yu Qi.

Xiao Feng's attack interval is getting shorter and shorter now, and the medicine in her hand is taking effect more and more slowly.

The lights were turned on, and Nanny Li and others also came, as did Yu Qi and the imperial physician.

Xiao Feng twitched, the veins on his forehead twitched, and he even groaned in pain.

"Princess, the Gu worm is about to reach the heart vein!" The imperial doctor turned pale with shock.

Yu Qi who was on the side tried for a long time the method of soothing the Gu worms in the Miao village, but there was no effect. The veins on Xiao Feng's neck were squirming ferociously, and Yu Qi was sweating profusely.

Naturally, Wan Jinlan could see the appearance of the insect Gu now, it was twice as big as ten days ago, like a broad bean.

"Physician Song, can you pierce the Gu worm with a needle?"

Physician Song was taken aback, and Yu Qi who was on the side hurriedly waved his hands, speaking in nondescript official language, saying that the Gu worm is very cunning, if the needle fails to hit its vitals, if it hides in, or resists, King Qi can only die.

Wan Jinlan gritted her teeth and clenched the handkerchief tightly, and looked at the imperial physician, "Can you delay for another day?"

The imperial physician looked puzzled, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Your official should give you a try, the princess may as well go out and wait." During this process, King Qi will definitely be in extreme pain, so the princess should not look at it.

Wan Jinlan went behind the screen, listened to Xiao Feng's hoarse scream of pain unconsciously, and took a deep breath.

I don't know if the Queen Mother can send Princess Kang Ning out tomorrow.

Xiao Feng was in pain for half an hour this time before regaining his composure.

Wan Jinlan wiped off the sweat on his body, looked at his face that was so thin, and fed him ginseng soup spoon by spoon.

When she fell asleep again, it was the end of ugly time.

He Yi hadn't fallen asleep for a long time, Chuntao came in and woke her up, saying that Jiang Huo was back.

Wan Jinlan woke up instantly, put on her cloak, and saw Jiang Huo in night clothes at the door.

"Princess, someone transferred Princess Kangning today, but was discovered by the Imperial Forest Army. Seeing that the situation was wrong, my subordinates hurried back to report."

Wan Jinlan clenched her fists tightly.

The queen mother's actions were discovered!
Jiang Huo looked at Wan Jinlan's expression and asked, "Do you want your subordinates to go check again?"

Wan Jinlan shook her head, "No need."

How was the Queen Mother discovered?
Half an hour later, someone from the palace came to the door of Prince Qi's Mansion.

The emperor summoned Wan Jinlan into the palace.

When Wan Jinlan arrived at the Tai Chi Palace, the Queen Mother was also there, with a solemn and indifferent expression, and a blind father-in-law and an old nanny were kneeling in the palace.

The old nanny looks familiar to her, and she is also in the queen mother's palace.

"Wan Shi, do you know that you are wrong? You do not report what you know, and you communicate with the rebels in private! How is it different from treason?"

Emperor Jian'an's tone was majestic and cold, which made Wan Jinlan's bone chill.

She knelt down with her eyes down, and was about to answer when the cup in the Empress Dowager's hand made a crisp sound, making the air in the hall even more tense.

"The Ai family said that this matter is all done by the Ai family alone, and has nothing to do with the Wan family!" The queen mother has gray hair, but her back is straight, and her eyes are astonishingly sharp.

The emperor said: "Nurse Huang can prove that it is the mother-in-law that Wan went to look for, and the mother-in-law came up with the plan to rescue the rebel's wife from the capital."

The Empress Dowager glanced at Huang Momo who was kneeling in the middle of the venue with resentment, "What a lowly maid who betrayed the master said can be taken seriously without any evidence?"

Emperor Jian'an suppressed his anger, "Then the empress can't tell me in advance?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know now. Now that you know, tell Aijia, Xiao Feng, your brother, do you want to save him or not?"

The empress dowager looked directly at the emperor, the atmosphere between the two was not like a mother and son, but like a tit for tat enemy.

After a while, Emperor Jian'an said: "Since Prince Guangling's son wants to save Princess Kangning, I can't just hand him over like this. Queen Mother, you have to consider the overall situation. If Brother Ruofeng knows this, he will definitely agree with me." Decide"

The Empress Dowager looked even colder.It's ridiculous that her son is devoted to the emperor, but now the emperor doesn't want to save him.

She knew that the emperor would make such a choice, so she decided to act on her own.

But she didn't expect that there would be a traitor in her Ci'an Palace, and it was Huang Momo who had been with her for nearly 40 years, this lowly slave who betrayed the master, who did not know when she became the emperor's person.

Wan Jinlan minimized her sense of existence as much as possible, listening to the confrontation between the two above.

"Wan Shi, are you convicted of a crime?" The emperor never thought of letting her go.

Of course, Wan Jinlan refused to admit it to death, and the queen mother reminded her that there was no evidence at all, so why was she afraid?

"My wife doesn't know what happened, and I don't know why this nanny would lie and bite my wife. My wife was wronged."

Emperor Jian'an's cold eyes fell on her back, Wan Jinlan knelt down, her head fell to the ground, and her palms were covered with cold sweat.

I don't know if she can return home today.
