Chapter 88 Wan'er is dead
When Li Lingyue woke up from the drunken dream, it was already the morning of the next day.

After getting off the bed, I realized that I actually stayed overnight in Hanliang Palace.

Several court ladies waited on her to dress up. Cui Daizhao came in holding a jade box. Seeing that Li Lingyue had gotten up, he opened the jade box and took out an ivory object about one inch long and bent like a knife, and handed it to Li Lingyue. In Li Lingyue's hands.

'Aunt Cui!You are...'

Cui Daizhao said with a smile: "Princess, this is the Xiaojue that the empress gave you, so you must wear it on your body!"

Jue?Isn't this stuff worn by men?How could you leave it to me?

When Li Lingyue came to this world, she knew more or less about these gadgets of the Tang Dynasty. Juejue, also known as 觽, is a tool used to untie knots. It has a pointed head and a thick tail, and is mostly made of elephant bone and jade. It is only worn by noble men and officials with status, and it is an important part of the "Seven Things".

Cui Daizhao seemed to see Li Lingyue's doubts, and explained: "Princess, you stayed in the Hanliang Palace last night and vomited continuously. Your empress wiped your body for you. After being busy until midnight, I saw you talking in your sleep, sometimes frightened, sometimes Weeping, the empress said that you were hiding something on your mind and you had a knot in your heart, so early in the morning, you ordered your maidservant to go to the Duke's mansion to get a piece of Jue, hoping to bless the princess with no grudges and everything goes smoothly!"

Li Lingyue looked at Xiaojue, her nose was a little sore, after all, she was her own mother, poor parents all over the world!

"Aunt Cui, what did I say when I was dreaming?" Li Lingyue asked anxiously, afraid that she would lose her mind and say something she shouldn't have said.

Cui Daizhao shook his head, "The servant is a little far away, and I can't hear clearly, but the empress is made to laugh out loud by the princess's dream!"

What the hell is this?Did I talk about the people and things before I traveled, or did I spoil the history of this era!
Full of doubts, Li Lingyue returned to Fengyang Pavilion anxiously.

Passing through the hanging flower gate, I saw Zhao Shi and Gong'er sitting in the courtyard talking with a palace man.

Li Lingyue took two steps towards them, and when she saw the palace maid clearly, her expression changed slightly!

The person who came was none other than Gong'er's mother--Wang Shiguan!
Wang Shiguan was expelled from Fengyang Pavilion by Li Lingyue for stealing money, and sent to Yeting Palace as a small steward.

Of course, the real purpose was to be placed in the Yeting Palace by Li Lingyue to protect Zheng's mother and daughter.

If there is no major event, Wang Shiguan will never appear in Fengyang Pavilion. Her appearance can only indicate one possibility, something happened to Zheng's mother and daughter.

Li Lingyue's heart tightened, a bad premonition welled up in her heart, and her pace quickened.

Seeing Li Lingyue approaching in a hurry, Zhao Shi and the other three hurriedly got up to pay their respects.

Before Li Lingyue approached, he asked directly: "Wang Shi, what happened?"

Wang Shiguan glanced at Zhao Shi, bowed to Li Lingyue and said, "Princess, this servant is entrusted by Eunuch Liu to come to Fengyang Pavilion to change the princess's bedding. This servant has the courage to ask the princess to go along with the servant to check to see if you like it!"

Li Lingyue knew that she was on guard against Zhao Shi, and didn't bother to explain, she stepped forward and grabbed Wang Shiguan's hand, and pulled her to her bedroom.

As soon as the two of them entered the room, Shiguan Wang hurriedly closed the door, knelt down in front of Li Lingyue, and said in a trembling voice:

"Princess, Zheng's daughter, is seriously ill in bed, medicine and stone are useless, I'm afraid I won't make it through today!"

What! !Li Lingyue's vision blurred suddenly, she staggered back two steps, her waist bumped against the edge of the table, knocking over the teacup on it.

"Princess!" Wang Shiguan called out, and hurried forward to help her.

Li Lingyue shook off Officer Wang's hand, and paced back and forth in the room with a panicked expression.

"No, it's impossible for Wan'er to die early. This doesn't conform to history. God must be joking with me!"

Li Lingyue muttered to herself, trying to get rid of the miscellaneous thoughts in her mind, and forced herself to calm down.

"Did you call the imperial doctor?" Li Lingyue asked anxiously, and immediately thought that the servants of Yeting Palace couldn't invite the imperial doctor.

"Yes! Call the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor will definitely be able to do it. I will go to the imperial medical office in person!" Li Lingyue rushed to the door as if grabbing at a straw, and was about to pull the latch.

Wang Shiguan blocked the door of the house, shook his head and sighed: "Princess, I've invited you. The maid asked Eunuch Liu to find Imperial Physician Sun. After the examination, Imperial Physician Sun said that he was helpless, and asked Mrs. Zheng to prepare for the funeral!"

"Impossible, Wan'er won't die!"

Li Lingyue uttered these words almost in a roaring tone. At this moment, she was no longer calm, nor could she be.

She firmly believes in the trajectory of history, but is afraid that this trajectory will be deviated due to her appearance.

When Wan'er's life was hanging by a thread, she couldn't trust her own cognition after all.

With a sound of "Hula", Li Lingyue yanked open the door, and said loudly to Zhao Shi who was waiting outside:

"Master Zhao, get ready and rush to Yeting Palace immediately!"

Zhao Shi didn't understand why at all, but seeing the princess' red eyes and anxious expression, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly bowed to prepare.

During the journey from Fengyang Pavilion to Yeting Palace, the crowd jogged all the way, and the waiter Wang told Li Lingyue panting about Wan'er's recent situation.

It turned out that since Li Lingyue went to Fuzhou, Wan'er had been waiting for her in the attic of Taiyechi every day, sometimes leaning on the railing in a daze all morning, sometimes sitting for a whole day.

She was already weak in body, coupled with depression, her food intake decreased.

Unfortunately, two days ago, a young maid died of illness at the sewing place. She was about the same age as Li Lingyue, and her baby name was Yue'er.

After Wan'er heard about it from Mrs. Zheng, she burst into tears and cried bitterly. She couldn't eat, and her life was gradually dying.

Li Lingyue felt so guilty when she heard that, when she left Chang'an, she didn't know what reason to explain to Wan'er, so she simply didn't go to see her, who knew that this girl was so persistent, waiting for her day after day, thinking of The lonely figure of Wan'er standing alone on the attic caused another pain in Li Lingyue's heart!
"Hurry up! Hurry up!" Li Lingyue kept urging the palace servants with tears in her eyes.

As soon as Zhujia arrived at Yeting Palace, Li Lingyue carried her skirt, and under the leadership of Wang Shiguan, she trotted all the way, jumped over the steps, walked through the corridor, and finally rushed to a small courtyard.

The courtyard was arranged by Wang Shiguan for Zheng's mother and daughter to live in. The space is very small, but it is full of flowers and plants, especially the hosta that Wan'er likes, which extends from under the fence to the roof. There are two tile-roofed houses in the courtyard. The two girls each have one room. Outside Wan'er's house, there are surrounded by flowers and butterflies, which is very elegant.

When Li Lingyue walked into the yard, she saw a silver-haired woman squatting at the door of Wan'er's room, weeping silently.

"Zheng Gong, how is Wan'er now? Is she better?" Wang Shiguan stepped forward first, and helped the weeping Zheng.

Seeing that the person who came was Wang Shiguan, Mrs. Zheng seemed to have found an emotional sustenance, and held the other's hand and wept.

"Wan'er... Wan'er, she... has gone!"

With a "plop", Li Lingyue felt her body go limp, and she slumped on the ground.

She wanted to cry, but her chest seemed to be pressed by a big rock, and she couldn't even breathe.

At this moment, Li Lingyue experienced the feeling of losing a close friend for the first time!
Pain, heart-piercing pain...

 Congratulations, Wan'er is finally finished!
