They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

Chapter 205: Trip to Tianfu Temple

After the people from the Imperial Hospital came, Jiang Wanyue became silent.

This finally made Ling Lan feel relieved.

She did not act immediately, but waited patiently for another seven or eight days.

During these seven or eight days, neither Li Ce nor Jiang Wanyue came to Sanqing Temple again.

The guards around the Sanqing Hall had not been replaced and were still the same people, taking turns on duty in an orderly manner.

On the third day, Jiang Wanyue sent someone to ask Ling Lan which palace he wanted to move to, but Ling Lan found an excuse to refuse.

If I move into the harem, everything will become inconvenient, just like before.

The palace maid replied to Liangyi Palace. Jiang Wanyue did not insist any more and only sent people to deliver food and expenses every day.

In addition, two elderly maids were sent to take care of Ling Lan.

Ling Lan couldn't refuse this and had to accept it.

But these two maids followed him like a shadow, refusing to leave no matter day or night, under the pretext of personal care.

Ling Lan couldn't send the letter out, and didn't know the situation outside, so he was anxious and worried.

Two days passed like this, and she suddenly heard the eunuch who was sweeping outside the palace talking about the emperor and empress's upcoming trip.

Ling Lan's heart moved, and he ran to the emperor to lobby him, and he also wanted to go out.

The emperor naturally disagreed, thinking that how could she run around when she was pregnant?

But Ling Lan finally persuaded him by saying "praying for the child".

Since the retired emperor had spoken, the emperor and empress had no choice but to agree.

So, on the day of departure, there was an extra carriage in the caravan.

Ling Lan did not let the two maids follow him and insisted on going alone to show his piety.

But Jiang Wanyue still sent several palace maids to lead her and serve her.

Ling Lan walked out of the Sanqing Hall, sat in a sedan chair, and arrived at the gate of the palace escorted by palace maids and guards.

"Your Majesty, please get in the carriage."

Two palace maids stood on either side of the carriage and spoke at the same time.

Ling Lan did not go up immediately, but looked around and asked casually.

"Why does this accompanying guard look a little unfamiliar?"

One of the palace maids kept her expression unchanged and replied in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, I don't know. They were all selected from the Imperial Guards anyway."

"Those who can protect the emperor must be the most powerful among the imperial guards." Another more lively palace maid said in a crisp voice.

Ling Lan took the opportunity to stop the palace maid and asked her a lot of questions.

The palace maids answered all the questions one by one without showing any impatience.

Ling Lan felt relieved when he learned that this trip was planned by Li Ce a long time ago.

It was not a last-minute decision. I think that person should have received the news a long time ago.

Due to her inconvenient identity, she could not take the initiative to contact the other party and could only wait for the other party to come to her.

So, he deliberately lingered at the palace gate for a long time.

It was not until the gentle palace maid could no longer bear it and urged for the third time that Ling Lan helped the two of them into the carriage.

The distance from the Imperial Palace to Tianfu Temple is not short. With so many people, it is impossible for them to keep walking all the time. They must rest halfway.

Ling Lan waited patiently.

After the convoy set off, it traveled slowly for an hour before the leaders gave the order to rest.

Two palace maids sitting outside the car door brought snacks, tea and a bowl of bird's nest. The bowl containing the bird's nest was still hot to the touch.

Ling Lan was very alert. She pretended to take two bites, but actually spit it all into the handkerchief. When the two were not paying attention, she stuffed the handkerchief into the gap in the car wall.

"I'm a little tired, I want to lie down and rest for a while, you two should go and rest too! Eat something by the way, don't just stay here." Ling Lan yawned, "With so many guards guarding me, I'll be fine."

The two palace maids looked at each other, did not insist, spread the mattress for her, bowed, and then left.

Ling Lan only lay there for a while before getting up, paying close attention to the car windows on both sides.

Not long after, the car window on the right side suddenly opened a crack silently.

Then, a ball of paper came in from the gap, fell on the car board, rolled a few times, and landed in front of her.

Ling Lan was delighted and quickly picked up the paper ball.
