A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace Chapter 1406 - 1404: What Are You Going to Do About This?

When Yilan reached the doorway, she happened to hear this sentence.

Awake? A sense of relief washed over her.

It’s good that she’s awake, at least she won’t make any more trouble.

Although she was quite keen to see Tan Biluo’s misfortune, it didn’t mean she wanted to get involved herself.

If something happened to that guy Nan Yunze, it wouldn’t benefit her at all.

Yilan lifted her foot and walked in.

Just in time to see the Old Lady Hou rushing excitedly towards the inner room.

She smiled and hurried forward to support her.

"Mother, take it slow!"

Old Lady Hou glanced at her wearily and didn’t say anything.

Once inside, she let go of Yilan’s hand and dashed forward.

"Oh, my son!"

Yilan stared at her now empty hand for two seconds before dashing forward too.

"Oh, my son! You’re finally awake, you worried your mother to death. Do you still feel unwell anywhere?"

"Are you dizzy? Nauseous? Or anything else?"

Yilan couldn’t help but find it amusing and quickly reminded her.

"Mother!"

"The Imperial Physician instructed before leaving last night that as long as he wakes up and rests well for a month, he’ll be fine!"

"Oh!"

Old Lady Hou patted her chest, finally relieved, then nodded her head.

...

Nan Yunze slowly opened his eyes, everything in front of him still blurry.

Voices loudly chatting reached him. He strained against the intense headache, trying hard to identify the people before him.

Upon seeing it was his mother and County Princess Yilan, his expression relaxed a little.

"Mother!" he called out.

Old Lady Hou’s eyes filled with tears of excitement.

"Yes!!"

"Oh, my child, my son, my dearest one!"

Old Lady Hou tearfully embraced her son, nearly leading them to break down crying together.

Leaving Yilan to the side feeling like an unnecessary presence.

Thankfully, she had a strong mentality and didn’t particularly care.

Anyone less confident might have been reduced to tears at this moment.

Seeing her standing there unconcernedly, not even a frown on her brow,

the maids admired her from the bottom of their hearts.

’Tsk tsk, this is a proper Madam Imperial Concubine!’

’What can Maternal Aunt Tan compare to that!’

Once thought to be a formidable force, on her first day entering she just dug herself a pit and fell in it.

Costing these servants a misplaced joyful moment.

Pah!

Nan Yunze felt a little awkward.

He’s so grown up; why is his mother still treating him like a child, always giving hugs...in front of his wife no less?

This feeling is really...

He was extremely upset but couldn’t express it and just tried his best to shift Old Lady Hou aside.

"Mother!"

"Mother, don’t worry, I’m fine now!"

"I’m alright, see mother!"

He demonstrated by moving his arms and legs, trying his best to show his strength.

Old Lady Hou hurriedly restrained him.

"Alright, alright! Mother understands, I was just being worried for a moment!"

"Now lie down and rest!"

After saying so, she sat down and began to chatter.

"Even though you’re better, the Imperial Physician said you need to rest more!"

"Oh right, the Imperial Physician!"

She turned her head to look at Yilan (only now remembering Yilan standing there!)

"Good child!"

She pulled her to sit beside her, instructing.

"Aren’t you good friends with the Princess?"

"Could you ask the Princess again, to have the Imperial Physician come see Zeze?"

"He’s still very weak today!"

Yilan was a bit speechless.

But considering Old Lady Hou was reasonable, she couldn’t refuse.

"Alright!"

"Mother, rest assured!"

"Later, I’ll have Li Hua take my waist token into the palace to summon the Imperial Physician!"

"Oh! Such a good child! Mother knows you’re the most filial!"

Old Lady Hou praised her smilingly.

Yilan felt a bit embarrassed, lowered her head without saying anything (actually, too lazy to say more).

Old Lady Hou then turned back to Nan Yunze.

"Zeze, you child!"

"This time it was all thanks to Yilan, if she hadn’t gone to get the Imperial Physician, your life might not have been saved!"

"In the future, no more nonsense, take good care of her no matter what!"

"If you don’t treat her well, I won’t stand for it!"

Nan Yunze’s face paled, nodding with a complex expression.

"Save him? His life was in danger? Getting the Imperial Physician? What’s all this? What happened to me?"

Yilan remained there with her head down, surprisingly feeling a bit grateful.

’To be honest, although Old Lady Hou spoils her son greatly, she’s still reasonable!’

’As long as it doesn’t involve her son’s interests, she remains a kind, gentle old lady without bad intentions, just overly loving her son!’

Her last two sentences even touched her a little.

But still...

Yilan took a deep breath.

’And so what if I’m touched? She and her son are ultimately not meant to be together!’

What their future holds, who knows?

Perhaps they’ll just manage, neither interfering with the other, or...they’ll separate!

Either way, she’s not afraid!

...

Nan Yunze finally learned the entire sequence of events from Old Lady Hou.

He glanced at the needle marks on his skin, then at the bloodletting marks on his fingertips.

After much internal struggle, he finally set aside his pride and sincerely thanked Yilan.

"Thank you! If it weren’t for you, who knows what would have happened to me by now!"

His voice was soft, gaze unwavering towards her, sincerity almost spilling from his eyes.

Yilan glanced at him only to quickly avert her eyes, her heart pounding so hard it seemed to skip a few beats.

"Um!"

"It was just a small favor, I just lent a hand..."

She babbled, offering all sorts of excuses, yet why was her heart racing so much?

Could she be falling for him?!

No way, not for this fickle bucket of rotten peach blossoms, she definitely doesn’t care, yes, absolutely doesn’t care!

"Hehehe..."

Old Lady Hou chuckled as she stood up.

"You young couple, stop being so bashful!"

"As long as you two are well!"

"Your wellbeing is the family’s wellbeing!"

She finished and then got up.

"You two take your time, have a good talk!"

"Leave other matters to this old woman!"

With that, she took a maid’s arm and led everyone out.

...

Only two remained in the inner room.

Nan Yunze lay weakly while Yilan stood to one side.

They stared at each other in silence, the room quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

After a long while, Yilan awkwardly broke the silence.

"So... your little concubine, you don’t want her anymore?"

Nan Yunze: "..."

’Wife? You don’t start a conversation like that!’

Yilan felt embarrassed asking such a thing, so she rephrased.

"About Tan Biluo, what are you planning to do?"

Nan Yunze twitched his mouth slightly.

For some unknown reason, he felt a surge of anger and with a slightly annoyed expression, he said.
