"Eyes are red, tongue fur is white, whole body is burning, veins... "My pulse seems to be stable, this is a sign of my body's weakness. If I don't recuperate my body from now on, I'm afraid I'll be sick for the rest of my life!" As he spoke, the imperial physician shook his head and sighed.

Hearing this, Li Ruolan was already elated in her heart, but she had a look of worry on her face: "Is it that serious? Looks like Anran really needs some rest, Doctor Zhou, let's go! "

Seeing that the group of people had finally left, Cui Yun wiped her cold sweat and hurriedly closed the windows before jogging in: "Aunt, they have all left."

Shi Anran lazily opened her eyes. Doctor Zhou wanted to say that the condition of his body did not match with his pulse, but he did not know if he could see anything. However, she finally took a deep breath and said slowly, "I avoided it this time. I don't know if I can last until the emperor's return."

"Aunt, you can't go on like this. It's hard to ensure that Imperial Noble Consort Lan won't come and cause trouble for Aunt next time." Cui Yun was also worried, after all, masters were good, and only servants would have a good life. If their master was not well, they would have to suffer.

Shi Anran naturally knew about this problem, it was just that if she could trick him for a while, she would do it for the time being, she wouldn't be able to think of other methods for the time being. As she thought about it, Shi Anran shook her head and took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat on her face that was created from a hot towel, and said indifferently: "I will walk one step at a time, I think that Imperial Noble Consort Lan will not come again in the next two days." As long as she could endure until the emperor returned and with the emperor's protection, Li Ruolan wouldn't dare to do anything excessive.

Cui Yun gave Shi Anran a big thumbs up, and praised him, "Auntie, you actually had a way. You even tricked the imperial physician."

"I was merely lucky this time around …" She said this indifferently, but she was still worried. There were still a few more days left, how could she continue to pretend to be ill?

"Since Aunt already knew that the Imperial Noble Consort Lan would come to make things difficult for us, why didn't Aunt ask the Emperor for help that day to bring Aunt over to Han Mountain Temple? Isn't this equivalent to avoiding Imperial Noble Consort Lan? " Cui Yun said softly.

It wasn't that Shi Anran hadn't thought of it, but now was not the time. If the emperor felt that he was intentionally getting closer, then it would be the opposite. She shook her head and said earnestly, "Let's do it like this. No matter who comes looking for me these few days, just say that I'm bedridden!" In order to not let others see anything, Shi Anran continued to lie down.

Cui Yun pulled up her blanket, looked at Shi Anran who was resting with her eyes closed, and felt that even the Empress would be inferior to his aunt in terms of her looks! The moment this idea appeared, it also gave Cui Yun a fright. What was she thinking about just now? She was actually comparing his aunt to the empress?

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, when she woke up, the sky was already dark. Shi Anran could faintly hear someone crying outside her room, and upon waking up, she heard such a conversation, "Xiu Er, do you think Aunt doesn't like me?"

Xiu Er answered honestly: "How is that possible, master treats all three of us very well, right?"

"But why do I feel that my aunt treats Big Sister Cui Yun better? Even if Aunt was sick, she would only let Big Sister Cui Yun serve by her side. " Cui Yu lowered her voice and said.

"Alright, Sister Cu Yu, don't be sad. Aunt is a kind person. If your family has any difficulties, go and tell the master, she will definitely help you!" Xiu Er comforted her.

Jadeite Jade acknowledged: Thank you, Xiu Er!

Shi Anran slowly laid back down. This Jadeite didn't seem to have any tricks up her sleeve, but she wanted to use Xiu Er to test him. What did she want to do?

At dawn the next day, the emperor brought the Empress out of the palace to pay respects to Buddha, and the palace became Li Ruolan's domain. All of a sudden, many of the imperial concubines began to fear her even more.

Shi Anran hastily finished her breakfast, and just as she was about to go back and lie down, she heard Xiu Er say: "Master, something seems to have happened to Jadeite Jade's family."

"Mm …" She only replied with a simple "En", and nothing else after that.

Seeing her like that, Xiu Er bit her lips, but did not continue.

When she was done serving Shi Anran and lying down to rest, Cui Yu pulled Xiu Er outside of the house and whispered to him: "How is it, Xiu Er, did Aunt agree to it?"

"Sorry, Sister Cuiyu, I didn't say anything, master might be tired and doesn't want to hear anything else." Xiu Er blinked her eyes.

Hearing that, Cui Yu's eyes instantly turned red: "A few days ago, big sister Cui Yun's mother was sick, my aunt gave her some silver, and told her to take it out to see my mother. Why is my aunt not willing to help me, did I do something wrong that my aunt doesn't like?"

"Sis Cui Yu, lower your voice. Master has just slept, Master will hear about it later!" Xiu Er said in a low voice, and then the voices of the two gradually became much softer.

Inside the room, the corner of Shi Anran's lips curled up into a cold smile. It was not that she was unwilling to help Jadeite, it was because Jadeite had recently secretly leaked news of herself to Li Ruolan's servant. This was also the reason why Shi Anran had been pretending to be sick even in her room.

Thinking about that, Shi Anran closed his eyes, but she could not hide the fatigue in his eyes. Trust was the hardest thing between people. When would she have someone she could completely trust by her side?

"Sister has the right to have it in her hands, why don't you just kill her like that? She's just a maid anyway, if she's dead, what can you say when the emperor comes back?"

"This you don't know, right now the emperor values this woman a lot, but I don't know what kind of fox like method Shi Anran used to get her to be highly valued by the emperor!" Li Ruolan twirled the Agate ring on her finger tip and frowned.

Li Ruoxue raised her chin, and said unhappily: "So what? Elder sister, you are the imperial concubine, don't you have the authority to handle a maid?"

Ruoxue, in this deep palace, it is not as simple as you think it is. If you are not careful enough, someone might catch your weakness, and that weakness might become your fatal injury.

Hearing that, Li Ruoxue nodded her head, then raised her confident face: "Elder sister, don't worry, even if you didn't say it, I would still have known what to do. In this life, if I did not destroy Shi Anran, I would never feel comfortable, who asked her to be so haughty all day, just looking at her makes people feel disgusted."

"Alright, Ruoxue, don't do things that I don't know about in private. If this matter gets out of hand, perhaps I won't be able to protect you, understand?" It was rare for Li Ruolan to have scruples, so she sincerely and earnestly taught her sister.

Li Ruoxue let out a light grunt, as if she understood, but at the same time, it was also a perfunctory reply. She smiled and said: "If Xue Xue understands, since Big Sister has nothing else to do, Ruoxue will take her leave first."

Li Ruolan waved his hand, closed her eyes and said: "Go, do things cleanly, do not leave any evidence for others to catch you."
