Chapter 276 Grandfather is Sick
The Shenwu Emperor felt as if this was indeed the case. "Okay, I'll just wait."
Lan Qingwu has given birth to the seventh princess for nearly two months. Although General Lan's health has been deteriorating, he has finally managed to hold on until now. The seventh princess's full moon banquet has passed, and Lan Qingwu's double confinement period has also ended. Emperor Shenwu can no longer stop Lan Qingwu, nor can he hide it from her anymore. After Lan Qingwu returns to the Lan Mansion to visit her relatives this time, she will be mentally prepared when she sees General Lan's physical condition.
This time, Emperor Shenwu still did not bring Lan Qingwu back to the Lan Mansion with a big fanfare. The group simply traveled to the Lan Mansion in a light vehicle.
The Lan Mansion is now very lively. General Lan’s two younger brothers, three sons, three daughters, grandchildren, grandsons-in-law and grandsons-in-law have all gathered in the Lan Mansion in the imperial city.
Emperor Shenwu and Lan Qingwu arrived at the Lan Mansion in a low-key manner, but Lan Youchen did not dare to really receive the emperor in a low-key manner. At this time, the gate of the Lan Mansion was wide open, and he had already led a group of Lan family members to stand at the gate of the Lan Mansion waiting for the emperor's arrival.
No matter how low-key it is, it is still a holy journey.
When Emperor Shenwu helped Lan Qingwu get off the carriage, a large group of people were already kneeling at the gate of the Lan family. Lan Youchen knelt at the front: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Emperor Shenwu called out, and after they stood up, Lan Youchen led the emperor and empress through the middle door into the main hall of the Lan Mansion.
Emperor Shenwu and Lan Qingwu sat side by side in the upper seats.
The Shenwu Emperor discussed matters concerning the border grassland tribes with Lan Youchen. Lan Youchen responded respectfully. After a moment, the Shenwu Emperor turned to Lan Qingwu and said, "I don't think the Empress is interested in these matters. I will ask Wujing Hou a few more questions. The Empress can go to the backyard and rest. I will send someone to summon you later."
Lan Qingwu paused for a moment, then stood up and bowed leisurely, her watery eyes brimming with a hint of smile. "Yes, Your Majesty! I'll take my leave!"
The Queen Mother left the main hall, and the female members of the family naturally followed suit.
The Emperor narrowed his eyes and watched Lan Qingwu leave the main hall. He hoped that Lan Qingwu wouldn't be so sad after knowing this.
Lan Qingwu had actually had some suspicions when she was pregnant with the Seventh Princess. Seeing her grandfather's sickly face in his courtyard, Lan Qingwu, though somewhat prepared, still had tears in her eyes.
"Grandfather, what's wrong with you?"
General Lan was already a hero in his twilight years. His hair was almost completely gray, and he looked skinny. Compared to the grandfather Lan Qingwu had seen last time, he looked ten years older. Only his eyes were still exceptionally bright.
General Lan half leaned on the bed. He no longer got up easily. "This old minister greets the Empress. Please forgive my rudeness."
Lan Qingwu blinked hard, "Grandfather, there's no need to be so polite. I've brought the imperial physician here today. Let the physician feel your pulse first, and then we can talk. Come on!"
General Lan did not shirk the responsibility. He had endured until now largely for Lan Qingwu. When Lan Qingwu was at her most seriously ill, she was pregnant. He did not dare to take any risks, so he ordered his eldest son to strictly control the Lan family and not to reveal any information to anyone around the Queen. It was not until Lan Qingwu gave birth to the seventh princess that General Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, it’s time for Lan Qingwu to know what’s going on.
Nie Wushuang took the order and went into the house, and respectfully examined General Lan's pulse.
After taking Nie Wushuang's pulse, Lan Qingwu signaled Nie Wushuang to leave the dormitory first.
Also in the bedroom were Lan Qingwu's mother, Madam Lan Er, and Madam Lan San. The rest of the younger female family members were standing on the corridor in front of the courtyard.
General Lan looked at Lan Qingwu lovingly and said, "Grandfather is actually fine now. Let's just talk for a while."
