Sitting by the window in Wangyue Tower, listening to the wind and rain, Xuan Jinmo had an indifferent smile on his lips, which seemed determined but boring.
There is wine in my hand, but I don’t drink it, I just hold it and play with it.
People from the palace came here to look for him just now, saying that the emperor sent the young father-in-law from the palace to look for him and asked him to go to the palace as quickly as possible.
The little father-in-law is the confidant of Eunuch Xi. His name is Xiao Anzi. He is not very old. He was originally the youngest son of a relative of Eunuch Xi’s family. He was sent to the palace because of his poor family. He has always followed Eunuch Xi. He is smart, knows how to measure, and is very careful.
Loved and trusted by Mr. Xi.
"Eunuch Xi said that Princess Tianxiang had just woken up and had been shouting that she wanted to kill the Prince Consort." Xiao Anzi said clearly, "The Emperor was so annoyed that he called Prince Xuan and the Second Lady into the palace a few days ago.
, The prince-in-law just woke up yesterday, and the princess just woke up this morning. If the emperor hadn't forced her not to do it, Princess Tianxiang would have had to kill the prince-in-law this morning."
Xuan Jinmo listened with a calm expression. After a while, he slowly asked: "Is there anything else new?"
Xiao Anzi thought for a while and said in a low voice: "It's nothing. Except that the current prince-in-law is the real prince-in-law's younger brother, there's nothing else. It's a mess."
"What about the Queen?" Xuan Jinmo's tone remained calm and casual.
Xiao Anzi was slightly startled at first, and then said flatteringly: "You are talking about a young girl? It's not very good now. On the night of Princess Tianxiang's wedding, the young girl got caught in the rain, caught the cold, and developed a high fever. This is still not good now.
, the empress has always sent people to guard her, and the imperial doctor is also very busy. She prescribed a prescription and said that she is weak and has a severe fever, and it will take some time to recover. "
Xuan Jin thought quietly, and after feeling that the time was almost up, he got up and left.
In the pavilion in the back garden, the emperor was sitting and watching the autumn rain. It was not heavy, but very cold. Some of the drizzle was brought in by the breeze and fell on his face, making it slightly moist and cold.
"Your Majesty, Master Xuan is here." Eunuch Xi's voice was respectful and soft.
The emperor nodded and motioned for him to bring Xuan Jinmo in.
"I am here to join the Emperor." Xuan Jinmo closed his umbrella and entered the pavilion, saluting gently and respectfully.
"Well, the ground is not clean either." The emperor said with some annoyance and absent-mindedness, "Come here, prepare a seat for Xuan Aiqing."
Xuan Jinmo sat down on the seat opposite the emperor and waited quietly for the emperor to speak.
"You all go down." The emperor waved his hand.
All the slaves and eunuchs retreated quietly, and Eunuch Xi also stayed away from them. He held up an umbrella and stood where the emperor could see, but could not hear, the emperor and Xuan Jinmo talking.
"Do you know about Tianxiang?" The emperor then looked up at Xuan Jinmo with a stern look, "This girl is probably doing this because she can't marry you!"
Xuan Jinmo looked slightly sad and said softly: "This is only for a moment. Princess Tianxiang is a smart person. After this time, she naturally understands that the emperor has worked hard. Although I admire you, I can't mislead the princess because of my own thoughts.
Keep your name clear for the rest of your life."
The emperor seemed to be surprised, and just said calmly: "You already know."
Xuan Jinmo didn't hide anything, he lowered his head slightly, not looking at the emperor, and said in a soft voice: "Although I don't often interact with my two brothers, I have known each other since childhood, and the two of them can still tell each other clearly. That day, my father hosted a banquet in the mansion.
I was somewhat surprised and puzzled when we met. However, the Emperor has worked hard to find that compared to the eldest brother, the second brother is kinder."
The emperor sighed and said with some annoyance: "Tianxiang is too reckless in doing things. If she hadn't thought about her uncle's loyalty to me, how could he tolerate them at this time? I really doted on them a little too much, and I didn't even care about them at all.
I don’t know how to restrain myself.”
Xuan Jinmo didn't answer, just listened.
The emperor sighed again and said slowly: "Whether you are angry or resentful, she is my daughter after all. She has been a flesh and blood child since she was a child. Now she is like this and I can't help her anymore. She just always cries and makes trouble. If
If it reaches your father's ears, it will definitely cause trouble. I want to bother you today to talk to Tianxiang and let her let go and live her own life. Even if she is the most noble princess in the world and my most beloved daughter, she still wants to marry
Be a wife and then a mother.”
Xuan Jinmo nodded slightly and said in a warm voice: "I obey the decree."
Following Xiao Anzi, we walked slowly to the courtyard of Princess Tianxiang. We passed by the empress's courtyard. It was very quiet, the door was ajar, and there was a little eunuch sitting on the stone platform in front of the door, taking a nap.
After a slight hesitation, Xuan Jin silently stopped and said to Xiao Anzi: "Can you please go in and report to the Queen that I want to take a look at the young girl?"
Xiao Anzi smiled slightly and said respectfully: "Yes, please wait a moment, Master Xuan."
After waiting for a while, Xiao Anzi came out and said respectfully: "The Queen, please invite Master Xuan in."
As soon as I entered the Empress's courtyard, there was a faint scent of medicine amidst the gentle wind and rain. There were slaves quietly guarding in front of a house, which must have been the place where Tong Xiaoye rested.
"Master Xuan." A middle-aged slave came over. She was someone who was close to the Empress. She usually greeted her a little. Now she smiled and said, "The Empress was still talking this morning. I wonder if Master Xuan knows about Tong.
The girl is sick, and I was thinking of sending someone to invite Master Xuan to come over. What a coincidence. It is not convenient for the Queen to accompany you, so I will accompany you to have a look."
With that said, he led the way into the house that Xuan Jinmo saw just now.
As soon as he entered the room, there was a strong smell of medicine. Tong Xiaoye was lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, his eyes closed and still asleep. His face was very pale, his breath was slightly undulating, and his lips were slightly parted.
The color is slightly white.
"It's always up and down, sometimes awake, sometimes asleep." The middle-aged slave said softly, "I have been sick for four or five days and it has been like this. The queen is very worried."
"Why are you so sick?" Xuan Jin said softly with worry on his face, "You looked very good at the wedding banquet that day. How can you say you are sick? Could it be that you were caught in the autumn rain?"
The middle-aged slave nodded lightly and raised his hand to signal others to leave. When there was no one in the room, he slowly said: "The Queen is feeling guilty about this. Princess Tianxiang returned to the palace that day. The Queen knew that Xu was
I couldn't go out. I was worried that Princess Tianxiang would feel uncomfortable thinking about her mother, so I asked Tong to take care of her and help if there was anything. She was fine when she left, but she probably got caught in the rain when she came back, and she found she had woken up early the next morning.
I had a high fever and fell into coma. I hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor and took the medicine. The imperial doctor said that it would take some time to recover."
Xuan Jinmo sighed softly and said slowly: "The Queen is really kind-hearted, but Xiaoye is suffering from the cold. Although the Queen is considerate, if she causes someone to contract the disease, it is Xiaoye's fault, so why not send it to the hospital?"
Outside, wait until it’s better before sending it back.”
