Chapter 22 Careful Calculation

Chapter 22 Careful planning

In the dream, she was drugged and her innocence was taken away by a strange man.

When she woke up, Gu Chenzhou's disgusted eyes were like a knife, piercing into her heart.

But her good sister Li Chuchu lifted her chin and said word by word: "Eldest sister, for a noble person like you, death is not terrible."

"The terrible thing is to step your self-esteem and pride into the dirt and let everyone witness your embarrassment and unbearable condition!"

She clearly remembers everyone's contemptuous eyes and every word and every word of ridicule.

That feeling is nothing more than being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.

And everything that happened yesterday was exactly the same as in the dream, except for the ending...

Because of Ning Qi's existence, she did not lose her innocence, let alone lose her reputation as these people wanted.

But the hatred in his heart has not been alleviated.

Li Chuchu glanced at the closed door, turned and left.

All day long, the side hall of the Princess Mansion echoed with Li Chuchu's ghostly cries and wolf howls.

Until sunset, Lingyuan came over and reported: "Your Highness, the second princess has fainted."

"Um."

Li Huang put down the pen in his hand and ordered: "Have someone send her back."

"yes."

Lingyuan turned and left.

As soon as she walked to the door, she saw Mo Jingzhan coming over with an exquisite hand stove in his hand. She nodded towards Mo Jingzhan, walked around him and left.

Although the earth dragon was burned in the palace, Li Huang's little face was still pale from the cold, and the hand stove in his arms didn't work.

Suddenly, an exquisite and small hand stove appeared in front of him. Unlike the cumbersomely crafted objects in the palace, this small hand stove looked rather unique.

She looked up and saw Mo Jingzhan with his hands behind his back, looking down at her.

"How did you come?"

Li Huang leaned back and asked subconsciously.

After asking, I felt a little strange again.

Although Mo Jingzhan's status in the palace is somewhat special, he is not free enough to enter and leave the eldest princess's bedroom, right?

As soon as he thought of this, Mo Jingzhan took the lead and said, "Princess, is she afraid of the cold?"

Li Huang glanced at him and nodded.

"I was weak when I was young and was particularly afraid of the cold in winter."

Mo Jingzhan stretched out his hand and suddenly said: "I'm sorry."

After finishing speaking, he directly held Li Huang's wrist.

Li Huang suddenly became furious and was about to take back his hand when he saw Mo Jingzhan frowning and saying with a stern face: "Don't move."

She really didn't move at all.

She watched helplessly as Mo Jingzhan took her pulse with a serious look on his face.

After a while, Mo Jingzhan let go of her hand and frowned: "The princess likes to eat cold food these years?"

"What?"

Li Huang was stunned for a moment. In the past, apart from the imperial dining room, Li Chuchu's mother-in-law prepared her meals for her.

It's just that she didn't go to the palace these days, and the things sent by the imperial concubine were thrown away by her, so things improved.

Just listening to Mo Jingzhan's tone, there seemed to be something wrong with her eating.

"The coldness in Your Highness's body is too strong. Apart from his weak body, it should be caused by the long-term consumption of cold food."

Mo Jingzhan glanced at her and said, "It would be best to improve the princess's eating habits."

"What would happen otherwise?"

"In mild cases, it will be difficult to have children in the future, while in severe cases... deficiency of energy and physical weakness will endanger life."

No wonder she has become more and more tired over the years, but she didn't expect this to happen.

Thinking of this, Li Huang suddenly remembered something.

After she left the palace, the cook in the house was personally selected by the imperial concubine!

No wonder she hasn't noticed anything wrong all these years!

Thinking of this, Li Huang suddenly frowned, "It seems it's time to give the noble concubine a big gift!"

Today, the harem of the Holy Emperor is empty. If the prince, the third prince, and the eldest princess, Li Huang, had not been close to the imperial concubine, the harem might have been in name only.

When Li Huang brought Ling Yuan to Fengxi Palace, he saw the palace people coming to pass the news from afar.

Before Li Huang could enter the palace, the imperial concubine Luo rushed out to greet her, calling me dearly.

"We haven't seen you for a few days, how come my sweetheart has become so thin? Come on, let me take a good look at you."

Li Huang paused and looked over with raised eyebrows: "Mother concubine?"

Concubine Luo didn't react for a moment, so she took Li Huang's little hand and said, "Concubine I know that you have been having a bad temper with Prince Gu these days, so it's okay. If you are really angry, I will teach him a lesson for you."

Li Huang sneered.

It was clearly Gu Chenzhou who refused the marriage first, but when it came to Luo's words, it turned out that she was willful and unreasonable.

Li Huang calmly withdrew his hand and said in a cold voice: "The hierarchy in the palace is strict, and due to emotions and reasons, the imperial concubine is my concubine after all. It is better to call me Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

Luo Shi was stunned on the spot and said stiffly: "Huang'er, what are you talking about? Didn't you always call me mother and concubine in the past?"

"My mother is the late empress. How virtuous and capable is the noble concubine? How dare she be compared to the empress?"

Li Huang's tone was not serious, but it sounded like thunder in Luo's ears.

When Chu Chu entered the palace a few days ago, she said there was something wrong with this little bitch's hooves.

When I took a look today, it was really true!

However, Luo Shi quickly came back to her senses. After all, she was from her youngest daughter's house. As long as she coaxed him with a few soft words, everything would be fine.

"Silly girl, of course the mother-in-law does not want to replace the late queen. The mother-in-law just wants to take care of you for the late queen and feels sorry for you."

"What do you mean, your concubine, under the guise of loving me, you can ignore the palace rules and etiquette?"

As soon as Li Huang finished speaking, Luo's face turned extremely ugly.

She has been in charge of the harem for so many years, and has long been accustomed to the days when everyone follows her and supports her. Even Li Huang once obeyed her orders, for fear of making her unhappy.

But today...

Luo Shi deliberately kept a straight face, "My daughter has grown up and her wings have hardened. Now she is going to be separated from me."

"I have cared for you brothers and sisters with all my heart and soul over the years, and now you are talking to me like this? It really breaks my heart."

Li Huang's face was expressionless.

Anyway, Luo used to love singing, so let her sing more.

Seeing that Li Huang didn't respond, Luo Shi hesitated for a moment, and then cried even more aggrieved: "Why is my life so miserable? If I had known this, I shouldn't have stayed in the palace, and I shouldn't have been stabbed in the back.

I stay here just to be able to take care of you."

Li Huang rolled his eyes: "Isn't it true that the noble concubine is reluctant to leave her glory and wealth if she stays?"

"you……"

Luo Shi couldn't cry anymore.

Li Huang indeed looks different today.

The old trick of crying and making trouble no longer works.

She wiped her tears, fixed her hair, and returned to her dignified and steady appearance.

"Huang'er, you really misunderstood me. Over the years, I have loved you as my own daughter, have you forgotten?"

"Oh? Biological daughter?"

Li Huang covered her lips and laughed, ignoring Luo's increasingly darker face, and said, "In that case, I have personally prepared a dish for you, so you won't want to eat it, right?"

Luo frowned slightly, having a bad feeling.

Sure enough, when Lingyuan brought up a bloody stewed elbow, Luo Shi couldn't hold it back, turned around and retched.

Li Huang pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Your Majesty, don't you like it? I specially ordered the chef to prepare this for you."

"This, what is this! Hurry, hurry up and leave!"

Luo Shi pointed at the dish and shouted as if he had seen a ghost.

However, Li Huang glanced at him, and the palace servant who had just approached immediately shrank his head and stepped back.

Lingyuan held the plate of delicacies specially prepared for Luo and said with a smile: "Since the Imperial Concubine cares so much for His Highness, please don't waste His Highness's good intentions."

"I won't eat! I won't eat!"

Luo Shi waved randomly, and his entire face turned pale with fear.

Lingyuan continued: "What do you think this dish looks like, Madam?"

"Do they look like the dirty hands of those cooks in the princess's kitchen?"
