Children of Loulan

Chapter 120 Family Letter

Lan Cairen quickly replied, "Madam, you are too polite. Both she and I are newcomers to the palace. We have no family background to rely on, and no powerful people to back us up. We got to know each other in order to support each other and move forward together in this deep palace! But now... she and I are already strangers!"

Madam Zhao smiled and nodded, indicating that she was quite satisfied with Lan Cairen's answer: "Well, it can be seen that Lan Cairen is also a smart person. He knows when to get close and when to keep a distance!"

Lan Cairen responded humbly: "Madam, you are too kind. The sisterhood in the palace is deep and has always been like this."

Madam Zhao continued, "However, there is one matter now. After careful consideration, I feel that it is best to let you handle it."

Lan Cairen said with great fear: "Madam, please tell me. If I can help you, I will do it without hesitation!" Although she agreed, she was in a state of panic. Madam Zhao first asked about their relationship. Did she want her to take some action against Hanguli?

Madam Zhao noticed the nervousness in her expression and smiled softly, "Don't be nervous, sister. It's not a big deal. It's just that Li Liang's family replied to the letter. Because she lived in Yunhe Palace before, the letter naturally came into my hands. But now she is dying, and it would be inappropriate for me to withhold the letter and not give it to her. However, everyone is unfamiliar with her, so naturally no one is willing to go and deliver the letter to her? After thinking about it, I thought of you. I wonder if my sister is willing to go to Yuexi Residence to meet your former sister?"

Madam Zhao's intentions were obvious. Yuexi Residence was an ominous place, and it was unlucky to meet a dying person. Therefore, no one was willing to go, but the letter had to be delivered. If she was found out in the future, she would be held responsible for withholding a letter from a dying person. Therefore, she racked her brains and thought of Lan Cairen, who was a little speechless because of the king's words that day. Lan Cairen was of humble status and had pleaded for Hanguli, so he was the perfect person.

Although Madam Zhao was asking if she was willing to go, her words did not give Dalan any sign of rejection.

After hearing what Madam Zhao said, Lan Cairen was shocked at first, but then she realized that this might be her only chance to see Hanguli, but she couldn't let Madam Zhao discover her thoughts. So she bit her lip, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on her face, but finally bowed her head and replied: "I am willing to share your worries for you, Madam."

Her answer was not that she was willing to go, but that she was willing to share Madam Zhao's worries. She wanted to tell Madam Zhao that she no longer had any relationship with Hanguli and did not want to see her.

Madam Zhao, who understood what Dalan meant, smiled with satisfaction, patted Lan Cairen's hand and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, sister. I will definitely say a few good words for you in front of Concubine Xian in the future!"

After saying this, Madam Zhao signaled the maid to hand the letter to Dalan. Dalan thanked Madam Zhao, took the envelope, and turned to leave. Her steps seemed a little disordered, and her heart was pounding. In fact, she had always wanted to visit Hanguli, but the open and secret struggles in the palace were too fierce, and Hanguli was also a victim of the Queen and Concubine Xian's actions, so she didn't dare to go rashly. If she was not careful, she would lose her life.

Arriving at the gate of Yuexi Residence, Lan Cairen stopped and took a deep breath. This was an ominous place that everyone in the palace talked about. Although she also wanted to visit Hanguli, facing this somewhat cold atmosphere, she was still a little scared!

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Before she opened her mouth, Yamanashi took the initiative to walk up to the door and knocked. With a creaking sound, the door was gently opened from the inside. A strange little palace maid who had never seen her before appeared at the door, looked at Dalan and Yamanashi curiously, and asked, "Who are you?"

Yamanashi quickly replied, "We are Lancai people from Yunhe Palace. We are here on Madam Zhao's orders to deliver a letter to Liliangren!"

After hearing this, the little palace maid nodded, stepped aside to make way, and greeted enthusiastically: "Oh, please come in!"

The two followed the maid into the courtyard. At first, Dalan was still muttering in her heart, thinking that this place must be shabby and old, and there might not even be a place to stay. However, when she saw with her own eyes that the doors and windows here were all brand new, she couldn't help but feel very surprised. She thought to herself: Could it be that someone has repaired this place in advance? This is unlikely. Since Concubine Xian wants to take care of Hanguli, how could she let her live so comfortably? But...if there was no repair in advance, how could this place be so clean and tidy? ...For a moment, countless questions came to her mind, confusing Dalan.

In this way, Dalan, full of doubts, was led by the little palace maid to the inner room. When she stepped into the room, Dar and Baier stood up in surprise and bowed to her respectfully. Dalan quickly stretched out his arm and made a gesture of supporting her in the air, and said anxiously: "Don't be so polite, tell me quickly, how is she now?" His words revealed deep concern.

Her face also showed genuine concern, and she didn't look like she was trying to make things difficult for Madam Zhao just now. Dahl lowered his eyes and replied, "It's still the same. He hasn't woken up yet!"

After Dalan walked up to take a closer look at Hanguli, he could not help but ask, "Why is this courtyard so new? According to what I heard before, it should be very dilapidated!"

Hearing her question, Dahl immediately knelt on his knees, bowed his head and thanked her: "This is all thanks to the guidance of Lancai people!"

Darlan was even more confused after hearing this. She waved her hand to signal Yamanashi to help Dar up. After Dar stood up, he told the details of what happened...!

It turned out that Dalan had only casually mentioned to her that Concubine Xian might send Hanguli to live in Yuexiju, and he also found out that Yuexiju had been dilapidated and abandoned for many years. However, after receiving this news, Dalan was extremely worried. So, she began to ask around for information about the dilapidated state of Yuexiju, and even spent a lot of money to find out that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had spare doors, windows, tables and chairs available. It was precisely because of these efforts that she later had a fierce dispute with the deputy general manager.

After hearing the whole story, Darlan felt sorry for Dar and Bayer: "You protected her so hard! It's really hard for you!"

Bayer answered firmly: "We are the young lady's servants. Moreover, my life was saved by the young lady. I will protect the young lady with all my heart!"

Dalan sighed deeply, as if she had thousands of words in her heart but couldn't express them. She looked at the two people in front of her silently, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes. Then she told them word by word what Madam Zhao had just said to her.

After that, Dalan gently took out a delicate purse from her sleeve. She carefully handed it to Dale and said softly, "I came out in such a hurry that I didn't bring much with me. You take it first!"

Dar understood her good intentions, but immediately pushed his hand away and refused: "No, Lancai people, we can't accept it!"
