He tentatively opened the door latch bit by bit, trying not to make any noise. The increasingly louder wind and rain noise covered up the slight friction sound that was accidentally made.
I poked my head out and took a look. There was no one outside. The guard was probably hiding somewhere to drink.
Tong Xiaoye didn't think much, she slipped out through the crack of the opened door, quietly closed the door, looked around to make sure there was no one, and walked a few steps into the wind and rain.
Although it was very cold, Tong Xiaoye knew that she was very safe at this time.
She couldn't guess how Xuan Jinmo would handle it if he knew that she had seen what happened between him and Princess Tianxiang? Suddenly, a question came to her mind:
If she hadn't made a sound at that time, would there have been a relationship between Xuan Jinmo and Princess Tianxiang——
Thinking of Princess Tianxiang's desperate and passionate request, a woman gave her first time to a man, and this man was not her husband! Tong Xiaoye sighed softly, Princess Tianxiang is actually quite pitiful, she fell in love with a man
Doesn't like her man.
However, thinking of Xuan Jinmo's slightly painful and hesitant voice, Tong Xiaoye had some doubts. Maybe Xuan Jinmo liked Princess Tianxiang? He just kept a distance because he knew she was his future sister-in-law?!
She had some headaches. These problems seemed to have nothing to do with her. However, Xuan Jinmo wanted to marry her when she was sixteen, and these problems seemed to have something to do with her.
Slowly walking back to the Queen's courtyard in the wind and rain, the red lantern was still swinging at the door. She quietly slipped back to her room along the corner, without even disturbing the servant who was napping in the concierge. She was all wet, and
It was cold, damp and extremely uncomfortable.
On the second day, Tong Xiaoye fell ill, had a high fever and fell into coma.
The imperial doctor diagnosed that he was suffering from cold and was afraid of infecting other slaves or inadvertently infecting other masters. He suggested that Tong Xiaoye be sent back to Tong Mansion to recuperate.
The Empress was a little hesitant. Firstly, Princess Tianxiang had just gotten married and she didn't know what would happen in the future. She needed Tong Xiaoye to inquire secretly. Secondly, she also suspected that what happened last night and that Tong Xiaoye would come back in the rain.
It stands to reason that Tong Xiaoye is the person in front of him, and he is not considered a slave. How can he not ask for an umbrella? But he has to feel the cold.
"Your Majesty, I feel for my wife that Miss Xiaoye's visit to the palace was not just for a short while. She came here to have a good time. Now she fell ill and was sent directly back to General Tong's Mansion. It will inevitably give people in General Tong's Mansion some ideas. The imperial doctor in the palace made her better.
The doctors outside will just take good care of her." The queen said slowly, "For my wife's sake, I think it's better to stay here and find a reliable person to take care of her, and then send her back after she recovers."
The emperor thought for a while and nodded, "That's fine, please invite Xu Aiqing to come over and prepare some medicine. Alas, these imperial doctors are all useless! If it weren't for Xu Aiqing's medicine, wouldn't that girl Tianxiang be a widow? Well -"
The queen said nothing.
While we were busy, we suddenly heard someone hurried in from outside, knelt on the ground, and said in panic: "Your Majesty, the Queen, something has happened to Princess Tianxiang——"
The emperor was shocked. It seemed that An Ansheng was fine during the bridal night yesterday. Why did the slave come so early in the morning and say, something happened to Princess Tianxiang?!
"What happened?" The Queen frowned slightly and motioned for the others to leave.
Xiaocui cried and said: "Early in the morning, the slave went to help the princess and the consort to wash themselves. The princess and the consort slept late last night, and they knocked on the door for a while but no one answered. The slave thought they hadn't gotten up yet, so they waited at the door for a while.
Later, when the slave girl saw that it was getting late, she was afraid that the princess and the consort would be hungry, so she knocked on the door again, but there was still no answer. The slave girl boldly pushed the door, and it opened, and then, then,
The slave girl saw the princess lying on the ground with her hair disheveled. The prince-in-law, the prince-in-law seemed to have fainted too——"
The emperor immediately said: "Did you pass on the imperial doctor?"
"It's been passed on. The imperial doctor said that the princess was out of anger, and the consort was knocked unconscious——" Xiao Cui said bravely, "I don't know what to do, so I came here to ask the emperor and empress to consider it."
The emperor nodded, "I understand, go back and serve me well, and don't let any news leak out!"
Xiaocui nodded anxiously, got up and left.
The queen smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid Tianxiang noticed it and started making trouble."
The emperor frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "I am doing this for her. I am really ignorant."
The queen looked at the emperor's gloomy expression, hesitated and said nothing.
After receiving the instructions from Eunuch Xi, Xuan Qingmu hurried to the palace with Qiu Xinyu. They guessed what happened along the way and came back shortly after the morning court. Before she could change into official uniform, Eunuch Xi looked melancholy.
Came over and said that the emperor asked the couple to enter the palace immediately.
When they arrived at the palace, Eunuch Xi, who had come back earlier, was already waiting, and took the couple directly to the Queen's courtyard. Both the Emperor and the Queen were there, but their faces were not good-looking.
"I have seen the Emperor and the Empress." Xuan Qingmu felt uneasy, and Qiu Xinyu also knelt down in uneasiness, unable to guess what made the Emperor and Empress so unhappy.
The emperor lowered his voice, but still said angrily: "Xuan Aiqing, now that Lou Zi has appeared, what do you think I should do?"
When Xuan Qingmu saw that the emperor did not let the couple get up, he knew that something must have happened, and that the matter must be related to the couple. He frowned slightly. The emperor only summoned him and Qiu Xinyu, but did not let Tong Wei come forward.
It must be related to the brothers Xuan Jinxiu and Xuan Jincheng.
"I don't know, please let the emperor make it clear." Xuan Qingmu said cautiously.
The emperor's voice was low and he said angrily: "Did Xuan Jincheng go back last night?!"
Xuan Qingmu was stunned, thought for a moment, and said respectfully: "No, has he done something treasonous and unethical?!"
The emperor seemed a little embarrassed and annoyed, and his face was gloomy and silent.
The queen on the side said slowly: "Early this morning, Princess Tianxiang's slave came over to report that Princess Tianxiang had a dispute with her consort and fell to the ground. The consort was also injured and unconscious."
Qiu Xinyu raised her head in shock and blurted out: "What, what is going on?"
The queen's face darkened and she said displeasedly: "Did I ask you to speak?"
Qiu Xinyu's face turned red and she immediately lowered her head and said nothing, but felt uneasy in her heart.
The queen paused for a moment before continuing to speak slowly: "The emperor was also angry and thought that Princess Tianxiang was bullying the consort. However, someone discovered another drunk Xuan Jinxiu in the palace. He was disheveled and was with a slave at the same time.
Drunk in a corner of the lake!"
Xuan Qingmu and Qiu Xinyu raised their heads at the same time, staring at the queen in stunned silence.
Could it be that the consort in the princess's room is Xuan Jincheng?!
