"Fourth Brother!" As soon as Jiu Ranling entered Mingyou Palace, she saw Jiu Ranyou holding onto the edge of the bed and walking slowly. She rushed over to support him." Why are you out of bed?"”
"Ling-er, my injuries are fine. You guys have to let me walk around more. I've been lying in bed like a sick person for ten days.”Jiu Ranyou looked at his sister who was busy taking care of him and sighed.
"Nonsense!" Jiu Ranling carefully helped him sit down and said rudely," Fourth Brother, unless you completely recover, you'd better lie down in the bedroom."”
" I'm really fine." Jiu Ranyou pressed down on Jiu Ran Ling." I've already reported to my father when he came a few days ago. I'll go to court in two days."”
"Imperial Father was here?" Jiu Ranling's eyes lit up." Did he say anything? Did he scold you?"
"No, I haven't. Father only hopes that after I recover, I will work hard for the country and not make any more mistakes.”
"That's good." Jiu Ranling heaved a sigh of relief. From the corner of her eye, she saw Lan Yu push the door open and come in with afternoon tea. She said loudly again," Fourth Brother, since you've almost recovered, you'll go to court in two days. I won't come tomorrow." The ancestor is going to pray, so I'll go with her.”
"Alright." Jiu Ranyou lightly warned," Be careful when you leave the palace.”
"Yes!" Seeing Lan Yu and her servant girl exchanging meaningful glances, Jiu Ran Ling laughed in her heart.
Not long after, the Empress Dowager came to summon Jiuranling to accompany her for a meal, so she changed her course and went to Ningshou Palace. The moment she was about to return to the Phoenix Feather Palace, she was stopped on the way.
"Your Highness, please wait." A gentle voice and a polite greeting.
" What?!" Jiuranling's eyes widened." Consort Mirror?!"”
" Greetings, Your Highness." Lady Mirror smiled.”
"Please get up." Jiu Ran Ling lifted Lady Mirror's body." Lady Mirror, why are you here?" Why don't you go in and sit?"
"No thanks." " I just made some snacks," Lady Mirror declined." If Your Highness doesn't mind…"
"How could that be!" Jiu Ran Ling smiled and took the food box from Lady Mirror." Thank you, Lady Mirror." This place is far from your bedroom, right? Thank you.”
"I should be the one thanking you." Lady Mirror's cold face was gone. She smiled sincerely." Your Highness, thank you for helping Xun."”
"I've been busy taking care of Fourth Brother recently and didn't have time to go to your place. Before Tenth Brother leaves, he hopes that I can take good care of you.”
" This child…" Lady Mirror laughed." It's good that he left the palace.”
" By the way," she suddenly raised her head and asked," is His Highness alright?"”
"I'm fine." Jiu Ranling replied," I just came from Mingyou Palace. He can already get out of bed and walk around."”
"That's good. He really felt bad for implicating the Fourth Prince.”Lady Mirror sighed.
Jiu Ran Ling suddenly burst into laughter. Seeing Lady Mirror staring at her in confusion, she said,""I'm sorry. I just thought that I couldn't even talk to Lady Mirror before, but now we can talk like this.”
Lady Mirror did not smile." Your Highness, you know why I don't care about the world." To me, who has no ambition, this is the safest way to live in the palace. But ChenQie cannot allow herself to become a heartless person, so…"
"That's why you came all the way here to thank me?"
"Yes." Lady Mirror smiled.
"Lady Mirror, since you have nothing to worry about in the palace, why don't you find a way to get out?”Jiu Ran Ling suddenly asked.
Lady Mirror was surprised for a moment, but then she fell silent.""I didn't leave in the past because of Xun 'er. I'm not leaving now because…I still owe you and His Highness a favor. And ChenQie doesn't like owing others."
"Empress, your stubbornness does not lose to anyone in your bones.”Jiu Ranling stopped laughing and sighed softly." It's just a pity."”
"ChenQie knows what Your Highness regrets. However, for ChenQie, not being able to stand at the peak of the Inner Palace was not a pity.”Lady Mirror's smile was as gentle as ever, as if the wind did not exist. She bowed to Jiu Ran Ling." Please enter the palace, Your Highness. I'll take my leave."”
" Take care, Lady Mirror." Jiu Ran Ling watched as Lady Mirror left before she returned to the palace with the food box.
"Your Highness! You left Pin 'er alone again and went out to wander around!”As soon as she stepped into the palace gate, Pin 'er came up to her. Seeing the thing in Jiuran Ling's hand, she forgot to continue asking Jiuran Ling about leaving her behind."Your Highness, what is this?"
"Concubine Mirror sent some snacks." Jiu Ran Ling opened the lid. The delicate crispy cake, jade bean cake, and mandarin duck roll seemed to have been sent here in a hurry as soon as they were made. The heat had not cooled down completely, and they were still emitting waves of fragrance. How could they not be tempted?
Jiuran Ling picked up a piece of crispy pastry." How can I not feel pity for such dexterity?"”
He put a mouthful of crispy food into his mouth. Even after he swallowed it, the fragrance was still lingering on his lips and teeth.
"Your Highness!" Pin 'er ran over anxiously." You haven't tested the poison yet. What if it's not clean?!”
Jiuran Ling looked at the tool in Pin 'er's hand and smiled lightly.
"Pin 'er, there's no need for that."

Lan Yu carried the hot lotus seed soup into Jiu Ranyou's bedroom. Unexpectedly, she did not see him. The bedding was neat and tidy, and only a few servant girls were cleaning it.
"Where is His Highness?" she asked.
"Princess, His Highness has gone to court.”
" He went to court?!" Lan Yu was shocked." He hasn't recovered from his injuries yet and he's already in court!”
Lan Yu's maid immediately took the lotus seed soup from her hands and placed it on the table."Princess, don't be anxious. The princess won't be coming today anyway. When the fourth prince leaves the court, you'll have the final say.”
"That makes sense." Lan Yu smiled proudly.
"Fourth Brother!" A charming voice flew into Mingyou Palace. The moment Jiuran Ling came in, she saw Lan Yu and her servant." Where's Fourth Brother?”
Brother You went to court." Lan Yu looked her up and down unhappily. After bowing, she asked,"Your Highness, why are you here?" Didn't he say yesterday that he wouldn't come here to pray with the Empress Dowager?
It was because Jiu Ranling said she wasn't coming that she…
"Why? Why do you care if I come to see Fourth Brother?”Jiu Ranling glanced at Lan Yu." I'm here to bring food to Fourth Brother."”
After placing the desserts on the table, Jiu Ran Ling tilted her head and saw the lotus seed soup that was still steaming.
"Ya! This princess is thirsty. This lotus seed soup looks really good.”Jiu Ranling smiled and drank the lotus seed soup in one gulp.
" Ah! No!" Lan Yu and her servant girl screamed to stop him, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
"What's wrong?" Jiu Ranling pursed her lips." Isn't it just a bowl of lotus seed soup? What's there to be surprised about?"”
It's over, it's over…Lan Yu was trembling. This matter had blown up!
In the next moment, to Lan Yu's surprise, the symptoms that she had expected did not appear. Instead, she spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight down!
