Luo Linfei was also pondering, because the Emperor liked painting, she spent so much effort and energy to learn painting. If she couldnāt enter the palace in the end, she might as well commit suicide.
Hmph, once she enters the palace, those who caused her to be humiliated during the national mourning last time wonāt have it easy.
The incident in the palace last time, if it werenāt for someone framing her, she would never have fainted.
Who knows her physical condition better than she does? To avoid heatstroke and fainting, she brought everything to eat and drink from home during those days, all remedies with mung beans to ward off the heat. The only thing she ate from the palace was that bowl of lotus seed soup.
The maid who delivered the lotus seed soup was someone by the Empressās side, so the one who tampered with it was very likely the Empress.
Hmph, that old woman must have felt threatened by her youth, afraid sheād steal her favor in the palace, so she harmed her.
Just wait for her. Once she enters the palace, she will definitely not spare this group of people.
"Can we find a way to figure out her intentions?" Yang Chuxia asked, "If we donāt know what sheās up to, Iāll always be on edge. This girl is no kind person."
"No rush, this journey will take more than a month, weāll definitely find out her intentions," Ye Ziāan replied, "Besides, even if she has malicious intentions, traveling by water now, she doesnāt have the ability. Look at her, she hasnāt brought many people."
"Alright, letās not worry about her. Iāll go check on Lele, this child seems to be seasick."
Hearing this, Ye Ziāan frowned. He had actually overlooked Leleās condition, which was his oversight.
"When we reach the next dock, weāll find a doctor to prescribe some medicine," Ye Ziāan thought to himself, realizing he should have brought a doctor along.
Yang Chuxia went to see Lele, her little face was pale, but her spirits were still relatively good.
After two days, when they reached a dock, they went to a pharmacy, found a doctor, and got some medicine prescribed. Drinking a bowl daily, her seasickness was cured.
However, Yang Chuxia believed that all medicines have their toxins, and drinking medicine for a small problem was like drinking poison, so after two days, she stopped letting Lele take it.
Instead, when they landed again, Ye Yi had somehow bought some green plums. The fragrance of the plums was very refreshing, and smelling them seemed to make Lele feel quite comfortable, alleviating her seasickness significantly.
Time passed quickly, and in August, their group disembarked at the prefecture in Zhejiang. Luo Linfei also got off with them.
Initially, Luo Linfei avoided Yang Chuxia and the others, thinking they hadnāt noticed her. But when they disembarked at the previous dock, she saw Yang Chuxia standing right in front of her as soon as she got off.
It turned out Yang Chuxia had already noticed her, so there was no need to avoid them.
"Letās go, weāll head to the inn first."
With that, she picked up Lele.
"Daddy, I can walk on my own."
"Look at you, all weak and wobbly, can you really walk? Donāt push yourself," Ye Ziāan rubbed his head and said, "Someone will come to pick us up soon, and weāll take a carriage. Itās quite far to the inn from here, and your daddy isnāt strong enough to carry you all the way."
"Why is someone picking us up?"
Yang Chuxia was a bit confused. Could it be Ye Ziāan knew someone in Zhejiang?
"Some people arrived earlier in Zhejiang."
Upon hearing this, she didnāt ask more questions.
"This Jiangnan Water Village, its architectural style is quite similar to our Funan."
"Itās also not far from Funan," Ye Ziāan said regretfully, "Itās just that we canāt go back."
