"Second Princess, since the palace is closed, let's go back first."
After all, the princess's carriage parked here will inevitably attract attention.
Especially in this situation of being shut out.
Li Chuchu obviously thought of this and turned around and got on the carriage.
As soon as she got into the carriage, someone came to visit her. The porter quickly opened the door and invited the person in politely.
When Ning Yan saw this, she immediately frowned: "Second Princess, King Lin'an clearly did this on purpose!"
Li Chuchu gritted her teeth and glared at her with a sinister look: "Can't I see this?"
"Go back to the palace!"
As soon as the carriage from the Second Princess Mansion left, the porter immediately ran to report it.
"Your Majesty, the second princess is gone."
Li Yuxiao's eyes darkened, and she waved her hand to signal him to leave.
Xiao Haizi asked tentatively: "Does Your Highness really want to treat the second princess like this? If it is a misunderstanding, wouldn't it be..."
"No need." Li Yuxiao's face was gloomy, and her fists on the table were clenched tightly, "I just want her to think about what she did."
Fortunately, he treated her sincerely, even better than his biological sister from the same mother. However, for a man, she actually harmed her brother who loved and protected her like this.
It's simply too much!
The news that Li Chuchu was rejected at Lin'an Prince's Mansion quickly reached the Princess's Mansion.
"Your Highness, the second princess failed to enter Lin'an Prince's Mansion and entered the palace later."
Lingyuan added some charcoal to the charcoal basin and placed two oranges on the fire rack.
Soon, the whole room was filled with the scent of oranges.
Li Huang took a sip of tea and ate the golden candied dates specially prepared for her by the imperial chef. She said calmly: "Just wait and see, within three days, Concubine Zhang will find a reason to ask me to come in."
Go to the palace."
Speaking of Concubine Zhang, Lingyuan was a little dissatisfied: "Your Highness, Concubine Luo has not been able to give birth to a prince. They are just mother and daughter. What is Concubine Zhang doing towards them like this?"
Li Huang said lightly: "It's possible that things can harm their own kind. Concubine Luo has too many similarities with her. It's also possible that she also hopes to rely on Concubine Luo to stay in the palace for a long time and accept support from her father."
.”
No, as soon as she returned to the palace, Concubine Luo asked Concubine Zhang to manage it on her behalf on the grounds that the palace could not be left unattended.
Although the emperor did not issue an explicit edict, it was equivalent to acquiescence.
Early the next morning, a message came from the palace saying that Concubine Zhang was seriously ill and wanted to see all the juniors in Beijing.
Li Huang was not surprised at all when he heard the news. Ling Yuan immediately brought her the cloak he had prepared early in the morning, and the master and servant walked out in a tacit understanding.
When they entered Ci'an Palace, they saw Li Yuxiao who had arrived before them, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"Huang'er, why did you come to the palace dressed like this? At least you should change into some decent clothes."
When Li Yuxiao saw her, she subconsciously scolded her.
Li Huang just looked at him lightly and said: "Brother Three Emperors, the concubine said that she is seriously ill. Is it possible that I want to dress up and come to the palace in a cheerful manner?"
Li Yuxiao was speechless by her rebuke, and immediately felt that what he just said was not very good.
However, over the years, he has been accustomed to finding fault with her as soon as they meet, so that even now, even if he realizes that he has ignored her, he will never bow his head easily.
"Apart from festive clothes, don't you have any other clothes? Look at what these look like. If you don't know, you think our royal family is impoverished!"
The corner of Li Huang's mouth twitched and his eyes moved towards the bedroom, not bothering to pay attention to him at all.
Li Yuxiao asked for trouble and was very upset.
At this time, the palace maid came out and reported: "Elder Princess, Your Highness, the Dowager Princess has invited you."
Li Yuxiao snorted and took the lead into the inner hall.
In the dormitory, in addition to the two brothers and sisters, there was also Li Chuchu who was kneeling beside the bed to serve him.
In just one day, Li Chuchu looked haggard, and his whole person looked as if he had gone through a great ordeal.
"Eldest Princess Sister, Third Emperor Brother, you are here."
Li Chuchu stood up quickly, making a move to move a stool for them, but accidentally exposed a large piece of skin on her hand that was reddened by the medicinal soup.
Li Yuxiao's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously held her hand: "How did you get this hand?"
Li Chuchu withdrew her hand, quickly covered the red mark on the back of her hand with her sleeve, lowered her head and said, "It's nothing, I just accidentally spilled it when I was carrying the medicine."
However, the more she said this, the more Li Yuxiao felt that her burn was not simple.
He looked suspiciously at Concubine Zhang on the bed. At this moment, Concubine Zhang, who was "severely ill", had her eyes closed, looking confused and ill, and had no idea of the eye contact between the two brothers and sister.
Li Huang, who was watching this scene with cold eyes, couldn't help but raise a mocking smile on his lips.
She knew that Concubine Zhang was not a fuel-efficient lamp at all.
Li Yuxiao held Li Chuchu's wrist and lowered his voice: "Let's go, I will take you out of the palace."
Li Chuchu immediately pulled him away and shook his head repeatedly.
"No, I can't leave the palace. The concubine has always been very good to me. If it weren't for her, I would still be grounded now!"
"Now, I can leave the palace, but I just come into the palace during the day to take care of my illness. It's okay."
She said it didn't matter, but she deliberately mentioned the fact that she was banned in the palace.
If Li Yuxiao hadn't sent someone to take Concubine Zhang back to the palace in advance, there would really be no way to help her get free.
Thinking of this, Li Yuxiao looked at Li Huang and couldn't help but complain a little more.
If she hadn't made such a fuss as the eldest sister, how could the father punish Chu Chu?
Li Chuchu seemed to regret that she had talked too much. She quickly grabbed Li Yuxiao's sleeve and stopped talking.
"Third brother, you'd better go back as soon as you see the concubine. I'll be fine. The concubine is still very good to me most of the time."
Li Yuxiao narrowed his eyes. Most of the time?
Li Chuchu looked kind and well-behaved, and continued to excuse Zhang Taifei: "Taifei didn't mean it, she was just very ill, and sometimes she couldn't even control herself. Third brother, don't cause trouble, lest my father will do it again."
I’ll punish you.”
Li Yuxiao's eyes softened. What a good sister, she is sensible and considerate. Even if she occasionally does something stupid, how can he, as an elder brother, hold on to her?
Li Yuxiao was almost moved when he saw it.
Li Huang suddenly said: "Princess Zhang, if you are sick, please send someone to report to the emperor and send more people to serve you. How can you let a princess like Chu Chu do it herself?"
"Look, a pair of jade hands are burnt. Come here, please tell the imperial doctor!"
After being called by her, Lingyuan took the lead and walked out of Ci'an Palace.
Concubine Zhang, who was still lying on the bed dying, sat up suddenly after hearing this.
