"No courtesy." Xia Yue held Zhi Chun's hand and sat down, then said warmly: "I really feel sorry for letting Mr. Yu Gui wait for so long."
Yu Guiren hurriedly said: "My Majesty, please don't say that. My Majesty is busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival and the draft, so it is natural for me to wait for a while."
After some polite words, Xianyue said: "Your Excellency Yu came to see me, but what's the matter?"
Mr. Yu glanced at her and said: "I... I went to see my second elder brother yesterday. He told me that he really wanted to see my empress, but she has never been there."
When Yonglian was mentioned, Xianyue's expression dimmed and she said in a low voice: "How is the second elder brother? Is he cured?"
Yu Guiren shook his head and said: "It's still the same as before, good and bad sometimes. I don't know how the imperial doctor treated it. It has no effect at all."
Xianyue was silent for a moment and said: "I will tell the emperor to ask Imperial Physician Xu to come into the palace to diagnose and treat the second elder brother."
Yu Guiren nodded and asked: "Then your Majesty, why don't you go and see your second elder brother?"
Xianyue did not speak, but Zhichun said: "Mr. Yugui doesn't know something. It's not that the master doesn't want to see the second elder brother, but that he can't see him. Since the second elder brother fell ill, the master went to Kunning Palace several times to ask for an audience, but the Queen and the Queen didn't
Stop the master from entering." Mingyu's displeasure with Xianyue has long been an open secret in the palace, and Zhichun has no need to hide it.
"That's true. I'm just pitiful for the second elder brother. Alas." Yu Guiren sighed and did not continue. She grasped the right balance very well, touching the chord in Xianyue's heart without going too far.
Too obvious.
For a long time after Yu Guiren left, Xianyue sat in a chair and was lost in thought. It was not until Qi Kuan brought the list of beautiful girls over and asked Xianyue to look at it again that she came back to her senses, breathed out a sigh of relief, and said: "The booklet"
Let's leave it for now, I'll look at it later, I want to go to Kunning Palace now and prepare the shoulder bag right away."
Qi Kuan said tentatively: "Master, do you want to see the second elder brother again?"
Xianyue nodded and said, "I haven't seen Yong Lian since he fell ill. He must be very sad."
"But it's useless even if you go. The Queen will definitely stop you from going in to see the second elder brother like she did before."
Xianyue scolded lightly: "Just go and prepare the shoulder bag. Where do you come from so much talk."
In this world, there are two people who can touch the softest place in Xianyue's heart. One is Hongli and the other is Yonglian. The heartstrings have been touched. How can Qi Kuan offset them with just a few words.
Seeing that he could not persuade her, Qi Kuan had no choice but to prepare a carriage and accompany her to Kunning Palace with Zhichun.
After Yuguiren left Yanxi Palace, he never left. After seeing Xianyue's carriage heading towards Kunning Palace, Yuguiren's lips raised a smile, and Xianyue... Even though she had many scheming plans, she finally succeeded.
I fell into her trap. Now it's up to Concubine Zhe. I hope there won't be any accidents.
In Kunning Palace, Concubine Zhe was talking to Mingyu. The palace servant came in and said, "Master, Concubine Xian is here and wants to visit the second elder brother."
Mingyu's eyes darkened and she said: "I have sent her away several times, but she still comes here. She is really thick-skinned." With that said, she said: "Tell her, just say that the second elder brother took medicine and fell asleep.
, can’t see her.”
Just as the palace man was about to leave, Concubine Zhe said, "My Lady, can I have a word with you?"
"What do you want to say, sister?" Faced with Mingyu's question, Concubine Zhe said, "I think... I might as well let Concubine Xian and my second elder brother meet."
Mingyu didn't expect that what she was going to say was this, and immediately said displeasedly: "When did Concubine Zhe start talking for Concubine Xian, and did she forget how she harmed Liu Ye?"
"I will never forget what happened to Liu Ye. As for what I said just now, I didn't help Concubine Xian. On the contrary, I helped Concubine Xian."
"Help me?" Mingyu said in confusion: "What do you mean by this?"
"I know that the reason why the empress prevents Concubine Xian from seeing the second elder brother is because she is afraid that she will lead the second elder brother astray again, but this short meeting will not have much impact on the second elder brother. Besides,
You have been blocking Concubine Xian from seeing her second elder brother, and she must be full of resentment. If she then goes to provoke the Queen Mother and the Emperor, it will be a great disadvantage to you."
"How can the Queen Mother and the Emperor be easily instigated by her?" Even so, Mingyu didn't have much confidence in her heart. Concubine Zhe saw her thoughts and said: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to speak nonsense, but Queen Mother, please forgive me.
Frankly speaking, I’m afraid that nine out of ten people will believe it.”
Mingyu bit her lip and said nothing. She knew in her heart that Ling Ruo had been far away from her since the Bai He Tu incident. Even if she wanted to please her, Ling Ruo's attitude was always polite and distant.
Seeing that Mingyu was wavering, Concubine Zhe quickly said: "Mother, I know that you feel uncomfortable, but there are some things that you have to do even if you don't like it."
Mingyu thought for a long time, and finally said reluctantly: "That's it, let her see Yonglian."
Hearing this, Concubine Zhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She finally persuaded Mingyu. She was really worried just now. Fortunately, Yu Guiren caught Mingyu's weakness right.
When Xianyue learned that she could go in to see Yonglian, she was so surprised that she quickly followed the palace servants to Yonglian's residence. As soon as she stepped into the house, she smelled a strong smell of medicine.
I drank the medicine with my hand, and when I saw Xiayue coming in, I choked and coughed non-stop.
Xianyue hurriedly walked up and stroked his back. After he stopped coughing, she said warmly: "How is it? Are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine." Yonglian wiped away the tears he coughed up and said in surprise: "Auntie, why are you here? Who asked you to come in? Has anyone seen you?"
Xianyue said amusingly: "You asked me so many questions at once, which one should I answer first?"
Yonglian said eagerly: "The first answer is wrong, the third answer is, uh, still wrong. I..."
Seeing Yong Lian's panic, Xianyue couldn't bear to tease him any more and said, "Okay, don't worry. I got the Queen's word and came in openly. I didn't sneak in like you thought."
Yong Lian said in disbelief: "The Queen agreed to your coming in, this... this is impossible."
No one knows Mingyu's displeasure with Xianyue better than him. This is the first time in his life that he has seen Huang Eniang hate someone so much, and even forced himself to swear an oath not to see Xianyue privately, so he really
I couldn't believe that Huang'e Niang would actually relent and let Xianyue come to visit her.
"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe it, you can ask her." Xianyue pointed to the palace attendant who followed her in. The latter bowed and said: "Second brother, I am indeed a slave on the order of my master. Please invite Concubine Xian to come in.
