Chapter 65 Whose child are you?
Lu Yangyang came to her senses and realized that this was because Eunuch Cao was worried that she couldn't accept such shady matters and didn't understand them, so she would be tricked. Therefore, he gave her this special advice.
"Thank you." Lu Yangyang thanked Eunuch Cao and then took her leave. "I just checked on Your Highness, and there's nothing seriously wrong for now. I'll come back later."
Knowing she had something to attend to, Eunuch Cao nodded and saw her out.
Lu Yangyang came in a hurry, then turned around and hurriedly climbed over the wall back.
Yan Yue looked puzzled and followed up with Eunuch Cao, asking, "Isn't Yangyang getting acupuncture today? Why did she leave so early?"
The two had already entered the room while they were talking. There was no need for Eunuch Cao to reply. The Crown Prince immediately asked him, "Have you done your homework today? Did I send you to stay at this villa for a while so you could run around aimlessly? Grand Tutor Lan is coming to give a lecture today. Go and prepare yourself, and come over to listen in later."
"Huh?" Yan Yue was dumbfounded. Why did they suddenly start adding extra classes?
He entered the room in a daze, and then turned around and left in a daze again.
Eunuch Cao repeated what he had just said to Lu Yangyang to the Crown Prince, and reminded him, "Your Highness, the Grand Tutor happens to be here today. Should we remind him about this matter?"
Lan Taifu is Lan's father. He was appointed as the Crown Prince's tutor from the time the Crown Prince was born and was officially appointed as the Crown Prince, and has been responsible for teaching the Crown Prince ever since.
“The teacher has always loved his children dearly, so this matter cannot be kept secret. I’m sure that with Lady Lan’s intelligence and the imperial physician’s guidance, she has already come to her senses. Let’s mention it to the teacher so that he is aware of the situation,” the Crown Prince replied.
"Speaking of which, Miss Lu is a kind and gentle person. She has been thinking about this matter all along. Last night, she refused to accept the jade token from the Crown Prince's Palace, but instructed this old servant to inquire about Madam Lan's health for her," Eunuch Cao said with emotion.
The crown prince turned his gaze to the window, the image of Lu Yangyang appearing before his eyes, lost in thought.
……
Lu Yangyang turned back into the courtyard, thinking about what Eunuch Cao had told her. She instinctively wanted to walk out, but then she suddenly remembered that Granny Hui had specifically asked her if the heat of the medicine would affect its efficacy. In other words, she had noticed something was wrong at that time.
Lu Yangyang didn't understand the intricacies of the inner courtyard, but she could deduce that the person who could tamper with Lan's medicine must be someone close to her.
With so many people around, if she were to go and tell Granny Hui that she suspected there was something wrong with the medicine, she might alert the enemy.
But she wasn't familiar with the inner courtyard, so how could she find out?
Lu Yangyang stroked her chin and walked around the trees in the yard.
"Young lady?" Granny Shen called out to her, "It's time for your lesson, aren't you going to practice calligraphy today?"
It doesn't matter that Lu Yangyang is bad at studying, since she will have the opportunity to learn slowly after entering school. However, her handwriting is really not presentable.
After practicing for so long, I've finally managed to keep the characters consistent in size. With the entrance exam getting closer and closer, if I want to get in, at least this piece of calligraphy can't be too eye-catching.
Therefore, during this period, Lu Yangyang's primary task was to practice calligraphy.
Hearing the sound, Lu Yangyang stopped, pressed her hands against the tree trunk, and gently banged her head against the tree a few times.
"Young lady? What are you doing?" Granny Shen was startled and hurriedly came over to pull her away.
"Granny, there's something I don't understand." Lu Yangyang turned to look at her.
Granny Shen was taken aback: "If there is anything you don't understand, please feel free to ask, and I will try to help you think of it."
Lu Yangyang had a good impression of Granny Shen, but since even Madam Lan could be sabotaged by the people around her, she wasn't sure if Granny Shen was reliable.
But she couldn't keep this to herself.
“I suspect that the Madam’s medicine was tampered with, but I have no evidence. Does the nanny have any way to verify this?” Lu Yangyang asked.
"What?" Granny Shen was shocked and subconsciously looked around. Yuanxing had been called away to get lunch, and now there were only the two of them in the courtyard.
Granny Shen gestured for Lu Yangyang to come inside, and after closing the door, she lowered her voice before asking, "How did you find out, Miss?"
Lu Yangyang did not reveal that she had gone to see Eunuch Cao, but instead spoke of the advice given by the head of the academy and the deductions she made based on her common knowledge.
After listening, Granny Shen pondered for a moment with a serious expression. She clearly understood the seriousness of the matter. The most serious thing was that this incident happened in the Madam's courtyard, which was enough to show that the place was very unsafe and that the people in that courtyard could not be trusted.
"Miss, you must not mention this matter to anyone else. Since Sister Hui specifically asked you about it, it means she already has an idea about it. Madam will find a way. I will go over there later. If Madam has already taken action, we should just wait for news. We must not alert her," Granny Shen whispered in her ear.
Lu Yangyang thought for a moment and nodded.
It's inconvenient for her to investigate this matter herself; it would be best if Lady Lan had her own ideas.
Granny Shen hurriedly went out.
Not long after, Granny Shen returned and came over to tell Lu Yangyang not to worry, as the madam was already making arrangements.
Hearing this, Lu Yangyang finally felt at ease and continued practicing calligraphy.
In the afternoon, she checked the time and realized it was time to see the Crown Prince, so she climbed over the wall to go next door.
As they approached the Crown Prince's courtyard, they could faintly hear voices coming from inside.
She paused as she was about to step inside. Had she come at the wrong time?
She turned to leave, but Pei Ji called out to her, "Miss Lu, Eunuch Cao said that if you come, you can go straight in. The Grand Tutor is lecturing to His Highness, and you can go and listen."
Lu Yangyang was extremely surprised: "Your Highness also has to attend classes?"
Pei Ji nodded expressionlessly, "Young Master Yan is also here."
Are they all in class?
I wonder what the Crown Prince's teacher looks like? Is he one of those legendary, very serious old men?
Lu Yangyang was a little curious, but she always held learning in high esteem. The scholar next door in the village would get up earlier than the roosters and go to bed later than the moon every day. If he weren't so stingy with the money for oil lamps, he would probably study all night long.
Lu Yangyang admired his perseverance at that time.
When she was three years old, she had just arrived at her aunt's house. Her aunt was mentally unstable, and she was terrified every day. It was only thanks to the sound of the scholar next door reading that she felt she was still alive and had not been eaten by the jackals and wild beasts in the mountains.
So she initially eavesdropped on his reading just to bolster her courage.
Later, as I gradually understood some of what I heard, I began to explore how to recognize the characters.
Lu Yangyang tiptoed into the courtyard and listened to the sounds coming from inside, which sounded like a historical story. Feeling embarrassed to disturb them, she secretly slipped to the window and listened intently.
She had only heard some historical stories before, since scholars were too poor to afford history books. Oh right, Lu Yangyang suddenly remembered that she had some money now; she could buy some books and have someone bring them back for him!
She's so clever!
Lu Yangyang was mentally applauding her idea when she saw a book stick out of the window and tap her on the head.
"Listening to audiobooks is a proper thing to do, why do you have to do it secretly?"
"Whose child are you?"
