Chapter 692 I Won’t Let You Come to Me
In Lou Yulan's eyes, she and Shen Shuyi didn't have much unhappiness, except for the previous competition to check the accounts. But even then, Shen Shuyi won her and stole the show...
After that, it was probably the autumn hunting trip, in which Shen Shuyi's handwriting could be vaguely seen.
So she thought that even if they were not related by blood, they were still closer than others.
If I ask her for help, maybe...
But on second thought, Lou Yulan felt uneasy again. After all, her mother's surname was also Qin, and her cousin didn't have a good relationship with her mother and aunt.
Therefore, Lou Yulan was worried.
But no matter what, she had to give it a try. After all, the prince had been coughing up blood again in the past two days.
She felt really distressed watching this, but she couldn't do anything else to help, and couldn't think of any other solution.
"What brings my cousin here? What a rare guest." Shen Shuyi said with a smile and invited Lou Yulan to sit down.
She looked carefully at the woman in front of her. Lou Yulan's face was rosy and she looked very happy. Although her father had just died, it was obvious that she was living well in Duke Cheng's Mansion.
If you think this way, Shen Shuyi feels that sometimes sincerity may not necessarily be unrewarded.
After all, in Lou Yulan's case, this reward is very obvious.
I think Xiao Tingshan is most susceptible to this.
"I haven't visited my cousin for a long time, so I wanted to come over and take a look. My mother and my aunt were in cahoots and did a lot of wrong things. I wonder if my cousin is willing to forgive me..."
Lou Yulan spoke tentatively, her idea was very simple.
Although Shen Shuyi is now Princess Mingzhu, she has at least married the prince of Duke Chengguo's Mansion.
No, not marrying.
Although she was a concubine, she had finally squeezed into the circle of the powerful and wealthy.
If Shen Shuyi is willing to cooperate with her, it will be mutually beneficial in the future, which would actually be a good thing.
Shen Shuyi raised the corners of his lips, poured a cup of tea for Lou Yulan, and did not respond.
Lou Yulan couldn't guess what she was thinking, so she turned around and signaled to the maid.
The maid put the box in her hand on the table, and Lou Yulan gently pushed it in front of Shen Shuyi.
"This is a small gift from my cousin. It can also be regarded as an apology to my mother on her behalf. I hope my cousin will forgive me."
Shen Shuyi reached out to open the box and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
What comes into view is a set of red gold inlaid with white jade headwear, a peacock hairpin, six small peony hairpins, a pair of earrings, and a gold and jade bracelet.
To Shen Shuyi, it was really nothing, but even she had to admit that this set of headgear was elegant and beautiful, and it was obvious that Lou Yulan had spent a lot of money on it.
"My cousin is very thoughtful. I guess she came to me today not just to apologize."
Lou Yulan smiled and said, "It's true that nothing can be hidden from my cousin."
"Tell me about it." Shen Shuyi was indeed curious about what Lou Yulan wanted to talk to her about.
"I heard that... my cousin saved Mr. Liancheng's daughter, and the prince was born with a weak body, and now it is getting worse, so I would like to ask my cousin if she can talk to Mr. Liancheng and ask her to treat the prince..."
Lou Yulan spoke tentatively, her eyes fixed on Shen Shuyi the whole time, looking extremely cautious.
Shen Shuyi said calmly, "Cousin, you don't know that Mr. Liancheng has a grudge against Song Tingshan, and Huang Ying's parents hanged themselves outside the palace gate to testify against Song Tingshan, so Mr. Liancheng will not save him no matter what."
Lou Yulan was stunned, not understanding the connection between the two.
Her family had no power and she knew very little about court affairs. She only vaguely knew that the prince had once asked Mr. Liancheng for help but failed.
Shen Shuyi pushed the box back and said, "Cousin, please go back. I think Prince Song must not know that you came to see me today."
Lou Yulan was a little embarrassed: "The prince really doesn't know..."
Shen Shuyi leaned back in his chair and smiled: "If the prince knew, he would definitely not let you come to see me."
Lou Yulan didn't understand what Shen Shuyi meant, but she felt that the girl in front of her was different from when she first met her.
She exudes a calm and stern aura, and is intimidating without even getting angry. Her once pale and yellowish face is now bright and stunning.
"Well, I'm sorry to bother you, cousin today."
Shen Shuyi asked to see the guest off, and Lou Yulan had to stand up awkwardly.
As she walked out of the main hall, she couldn't help but turn around and glance at the contented girl.
The girl lazily leaned back in the chair, the room was full of light and the warm orange sunlight enveloped her, making her look indescribably precious, like a newborn phoenix.
Lou Yulan withdrew her gaze, unable to tell what she felt.
At this moment, Shen Shuyi called her again: "Cousin Lou."
Lou Yulan was stunned and immediately turned around, with hope and joy in her eyes.
Shen Shuyi said in a lazy manner, "I don't lack anything, but if you can do me a favor, I can talk to Mr. Liancheng for you."
Hearing this, Lou Yulan immediately perked up: "Cousin, you tell me, as long as Yulan can do it, I will definitely try my best."
Shen Shuyi glanced at her and smiled, "Given your status, I'm afraid it's indeed a bit difficult."
Without waiting for Lou Yulan to speak, Shen Shuyi said, "Some time ago, I accidentally offended the Seventh Prince's wife at a palace banquet, and I have been looking for an opportunity to make amends..."
Lou Yulan said nothing, but when she heard the name of the Seventh Prince's Consort, her heart skipped a beat.
She is just a concubine, how can she be qualified to visit the Seventh Prince's wife?
"But the Seventh Prince's wife refused to see me. I feel uneasy, so I would like to ask you to mediate between them on my behalf." Shen Shuyi looked directly at Lou Yulan and spoke sincerely.
Lou Yulan couldn't help but say, "But I have no friendship with the Seventh Prince's wife. How can I meet her?"
Lou Yulan felt that Shen Shuyi's suggestion was ridiculous. If she was the wife of the prince, it would be possible, but she was just a concubine...
Shen Shuyi said: "I know, but your mother-in-law, Lady Chengguo, has always had an intersection with the mother of the Seventh Prince's Consort. Although they don't have a deep relationship, they can still talk."
Shen Shuyi didn't say anything else, but stopped there.
Seeing Lou Yulan lost in thought and struggling, Shen Shuyi said, "Forget it. If you feel you can't do it, don't force yourself. I'll find someone else."
Lou Yulan said nothing, thinking that given Shen Shuyi's personality, it was normal for him to offend people.
If it were someone else, she probably wouldn't care.
But she had heard from the Crown Prince that now that the Third Prince had been deposed, the Seventh Prince was the most likely person to compete with the Eighth Prince.
So, even a smart person like Shen Shuyi is probably scared now.
If she could accomplish this for Shen Shuyi and ask Mr. Liancheng to treat the prince, the prince would definitely be very happy.
When Lou Yulan thought of Xiao Tingshan's happy expression, she made up her mind immediately.
"Okay, give me some time and I'll try my best." Lou Yulan's eyes were full of determination. She was determined to ask Mr. Liancheng for help for Xiao Tingshan.
