Chapter 226 3 Sister is in danger
"Hmm..." Chan Yi was stunned for a moment. She raised her eyes to look at the green jade cup still on the table, then lowered her eyes and smiled.
"Our lady is always afraid of causing trouble to the servants." Chu Yue said softly, "Miss, don't do this in the future. Your hand is not healed yet. Besides, it's cold at night. Be careful not to catch a cold if you get up."
"Okay, okay, I know." Chan Yi said with a smile while hugging An Er, hiding her panic. Could it be this person last night? But she didn't know how he avoided the guards in the mansion and the night watchers in the garden, and came and went without a trace.
She bit her lip and thought that she should secretly remind her elder brother to improve the defense of this mansion.
An'er had eaten half of his meal and listened to them talking. He poked his round little head out and babbled a few words, blinking his big eyes and waving his chubby little hands.
"Oh, hurry up and eat. You always like to meddle in other people's business. I don't know who you look like." Chan Yi said angrily.
"Our young master is concerned about his mother." Mother Zhou said lovingly, "Mother's hands hurt, young master, drink your milk obediently."
An'er seemed to understand. He hugged his mother's waist obediently and snuggled into her arms to continue drinking milk.
After An'er had finished drinking his fill of milk and Chanyi had finished washing and having breakfast, she went to pay her respects to Madam Lin.
Madam Lin was chatting with Duke Xiao. When she saw Chan Yi coming, she quickly stood up and said, "It's so cold. I should have taken good care of myself in the past two days. I hurt my hand yesterday. Is it better now?"
"Mother, I'm much better, but I can't go into the water yet." Chan Yi raised her gloves and said, "My daughter has this, so she's not afraid."
Duke Xiao had already taken An'er from Mama Zhou's arms and said with a smile, "Qianqian's idea is the best. The rebels haven't been captured yet. It's really dangerous for us to go out and distribute the porridge. It's safer to let the officials distribute it. We just need to send rice, clothes, and medicines, which will save us a lot of trouble."
"Yes, I heard that Miss Lu from the Wuyang Marquis's Mansion hasn't woken up yet? Alas, poor lady, how could such a delicate lady like a flower endure such suffering." Madam Lin nodded and said, "Fortunately, our Qianqian is thoughtful."
"Our Qianqian is very knowledgeable." Duke Xiao teased Xiao An'er happily, "I just came back from the palace and heard that the wife of the Marquis of Wuyang was still crying in your aunt's Kunning Palace."
"The Queen Mother really did everything she could for them. She gave them awards, sent Princess Qingyuan to visit them in person, and sent Imperial Doctor Hu to the mansion. She really gave them enough face and honor." Madam Lin shook her head and said, "It's a pity that Miss Lu is a little weak."
Chan Yi was a little surprised when she heard what they said. Didn't Pei Jin rescue Lu Jingqiu immediately? How come she was still so seriously ill?
"Qianqian, I heard from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that Pei Jin is about to inherit the title, and he will be the Marquis of Yong'an in the future." Duke Xiao stood up and walked around the room holding An'er.
"Oh." Chan Yi nodded and didn't ask any more questions. It was time for Pei Jin to receive the title. He had made great contributions this time and it was time for him to be successful and famous.
"This kid is now very successful. I didn't expect him to be so patient. He uprooted Li Baichuan, Gu Qiyuan and King Nanyang without making a fuss, and also annihilated the secret invading army of Rong State in one fell swoop. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince can rest assured from now on." Duke Xiao held little An'er high in the air, making An'er giggle.
"Our An'er will definitely be more powerful in the future." Mrs. Lin smiled happily as she looked at little An'er's pretty face.
"Father, you said there is also the King of Nanyang?" Chan Yi's heart suddenly jumped. She originally only knew that Li Taifu colluded with Rong State and wanted to seize power and usurp the throne. How could the King of Nanyang be involved now? She suddenly remembered that her third sister was the concubine of the King of Nanyang. She was afraid that her third sister would be in trouble!
"Well, Prince Nanyang is your Majesty's uncle and the late emperor's youngest brother, only a few years older than your Majesty. The late emperor was reluctant to let this youngest brother go to live abroad, and seeing that he only liked flowers, birds, fish and insects, he rewarded him with a mansion in the suburbs of Beijing and let the whole family live in Prince Nanyang's mansion." When Duke Xiao saw his daughter asking about it, he hurriedly told her in detail.
"Who would have thought that people's hearts are filled with ulterior motives. Such a person actually harbored the intention of rebellion and had been lurking for so many years, even colluding with foreign invaders. I never expected it, never expected it." Duke Xiao sighed to himself.
"Father, then everyone in their house will surely be executed as well?" Chan Yi asked in astonishment, her eyes wide open. She was very worried about the safety of her third sister, wondering if she was still alive.
"The crime of treason must be punished by the execution of the entire family. This is stipulated by the national law. But Your Majesty has always been kind and generous, and they will be temporarily confined in the palace." Duke Xiao gently placed An'er in Madam Lin's arms, then stood up and sighed heavily.
"Your Majesty cannot bear to take ruthless action out of consideration for the blood relationship between us, but unfortunately the Prince of Nanyang wishes to wipe out your lineage completely." Duke Xiao shook his head, his tone revealing helplessness and sadness.
When Chan Yi heard what her father said, she knew that her third sister must still be alive. As long as she was still alive, there was still hope. Her third sister was not a proper princess or concubine, but just one of the many concubines of the King of Nanyang. She was only slightly favored. She probably didn't have any children either. Perhaps there was still a possibility...
Thinking of the third sister's unconditional belief in him and helping him escape from the capital, Chanyi will never forget this kindness. This time she is in trouble, and he will definitely help her with all his strength.
But my father has always been upright, so I can only ask my eldest brother for help with this matter. Maybe he can find a way.
Chan Yi was feeling uneasy and went back to Tingyuxuan first, claiming to be a little dizzy.
"Qinghe, go and see if the prince is in the mansion. If he is, ask him to come to Tingyuxuan. Don't alarm others. Just say I have something to ask him." Chanyi held Qinghe and said in a low voice.
Qinghe has always been calm and reliable, so it would be most appropriate to let her handle this matter.
One day, Chan Yi sat at her desk, a paintbrush in her hand, thinking about how to rescue her third sister.
It was not until the evening that Xiao Yuan took advantage of the night to enter Tingyu Pavilion. He was called by the Crown Prince today and asked to do some things. He just returned home. When he heard that his sister was looking for him, he did not even have time to eat and hurried over. He just happened to have something to say to his sister.
"Brother." When Chan Yi saw her brother coming in, exhausted, she hurried over, took the fox fur cloak from his hand, and led him to the warm room next door.
"Sister, you came to me for something, and I also have something to tell you." Xiao Yuan took the fragrant tea offered by his sister, his eyes paused on her bright and white face, and said with a slight smile.
