When Concubine Yu was writing her reply, the news also reached the Yanxi Palace. Everyone was very excited. Although Concubine Yu could not be removed, the loss of her wings this time finally made them feel bad.
After the excitement subsided, Zhichun said with some reluctance: "Ergitu and the others have colluded with the party. Logically speaking, even if they are not beheaded, they should be exiled. The emperor only dismissed them from their official positions, which is a bit too light."
"
Qi Kuan spread his hands and said, "There is nothing we can do about it. After all, Concubine Yu is still here. The emperor is looking after her, so how can he be punished heavily?"
A Luo shook his head and said: "It's not so much about Concubine Yu as it is about the fifth elder brother. Although the emperor no longer attaches so much importance to the fifth elder brother because of the birth of the seventh elder brother, he is still the prince, and he was born again.
Accompanied by those visions of auspiciousness."
Zhichun wrinkled her nose and said: "Any auspicious signs are all fake. If the prince finds Liu Erniang, he can expose Concubine Yu's tricks." With that said, she said: "Master, why don't I come out tomorrow?
I will go to the palace and ask the prince if there is any progress in finding Liu Erniang."
Xianyue immediately said: "No, from now on, none of you should go to Prince He's Mansion."
Zhichun said in confusion: "Master, why is this?"
"Ergitu was convicted and demoted, which means that the emperor knew that he was colluding with Wang Ze. It is very likely that they have exposed the wandering doctor, thus knowing that I privately asked the prince to track down Changle. Although it seems to be okay now,
But it may not be without suspicion, so we still have to be careful.”
A Luo was the first to come to his senses and said, "Master, are you worried that the Emperor will be suspicious of you and Prince He?"
"I hope not, but..." Xianyue sighed, shook her head and said: "I won't talk about this anymore. In short, no one is allowed to go to the prince's mansion or have contact with him without my instructions."
As soon as Xianyue finished speaking, a clear voice came from outside, "Who are you not allowed to have contact with?"
Hearing this voice, Xianyue quickly bowed to the figure who walked in and said, "I respectfully wish your Majesty to pay your respects."
"No gifts for the noble concubine." The visitor was Hongli. He smiled slightly, lifted Xianyue up and took a look at it, and said warmly: "There were thunderous thunders last night, did they disturb you?"
"Well, I woke up several times. The lightning and thunder at dawn was the most powerful, as if it was exploding in my ears." Xianyue held a cup of almond tea to Hongli and said, "This day is really awesome.
Strange, there is thunder in this autumn."
Hongli raised his eyebrows and said, "By the way, the imperial concubine hasn't told me who she is not allowed to have contact with?"
Xianyue's eyelids twitched slightly, she lowered her head and said, "I just heard about the collusion between Erjitu and Hongxi's remaining party. I felt very scary, so I told Aluo and the others to avoid contact with others if they go out of the palace.
I got into trouble for no reason."
Hongli nodded and said: "I see, I thought it was referring to Lao Wu."
Xianyue said with a look of astonishment: "How could the emperor think of Prince He? How could Zhichun and the others have any contact with Prince He?"
Hongli smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just said it casually." With that said, Hongli took a sip of the almond tea, nodded and said: "Well, it's smooth and mellow, sweet but not greasy, which is strange to say.
, No matter what kind of food it is, it always tastes very good when it comes to the imperial concubine. Did the imperial concubine put anything in it?"
"Yes, I put the powder in it, hoping to charm the king for the rest of his life." The smile was gentle, but there was a sigh that escaped silently in his heart. Hongli said it was nothing, but in fact it was
She began to suspect that she had an affair with Hong Zhou.
Hongli said loudly: "I have already been fascinated by the imperial concubine, so why do I need to use any more charms?"
Xianyue pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Really? How come I, my concubine, can't see it?"
Seeing the smile on her lips, Hongli suddenly stretched out his hand to hold her, and said solemnly: "My concubine, will you betray me?"
Xianyue was slightly startled, then said with a gentle expression: "No, I will never betray the emperor; if I betray, I am willing to die under the emperor's sword."
Her words made Hongli feel slightly warm in his heart. He clenched the catkins in his palm and said warmly: "Okay, I will remember your words today, and I hope that you and I will never have to hold swords against each other."
A storm passed in the long autumn. As the weather turned cooler, people often caught wind and cold, but they were not serious. After drinking a few bowls of ginger tea and sweating, they were almost fine, except for one person.
Since the beginning of winter, Wei Jingxuan has been feeling cold all over and has a weak cough. She originally thought she was infected with wind-cold. However, after drinking ginger tea for several days, not only did it not work, but the condition became more serious. Later, she even
Can't get up, so
She lay in bed coughing all day long. Fortunately, she had always been very respectful to Li Fu, the chief eunuch here, since she came to the imperial tea room, and most of her monthly payment went towards him. Otherwise, how could Li Fu allow her to lie like this?
Then she asked someone to make ginger tea for her to drink.
That day, the young eunuch brought ginger tea as usual. Seeing that she was out of breath from coughing, he shook his head and said, "You are in really bad health. Some of the people who were sick with you were even worse than you at that time."
, it’s all fine now, but you are getting worse and worse.”
Wei Jingxuan managed to stop coughing and panted: "I...I don't know what...is going on. I've been resting for a few days and...it's not getting better at all."
The little eunuch put the ginger tea beside the bed and sighed: "Oh, it's not a good thing to be so sick. You should be careful and don't catch cold again."
Hearing this, Wei Jingxuan's heart moved and she said: "Eunuch, could you please... go... to Kunning Palace, tell the Queen, just... say that I am sick, and ask her to send the imperial doctor?
this?"
The young eunuch had not been in the imperial tearoom for a long time. He did not know the relationship between Wei Jingxuan and Mingyu. Hearing her words, he was surprised and said: "Do you know the Queen?"
"I used to be an errand in the Queen's Palace, and I came here later." Wei Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The Queen has always treated me very well. If she knew that I was sick, she would definitely... please... please
The imperial physician."
"This..." When the little eunuch was in trouble, Wei Jingxuan took out a piece of silver from under the pillow and said, "This is to invite my father-in-law to tea. After I recover from my illness, I will definitely thank you very much."
Seeing the broken piece of silver, the little eunuch's eyes lit up, and he nodded immediately: "Okay, I will go there for you, but if the queen doesn't agree, don't blame me."
Wei Jingxuan said quickly: "Of course not. I can't thank my father-in-law enough for taking this trip for me."
The little eunuch thought for a while and reluctantly said: "Okay, drink the ginger tea quickly so that I can go to Kunning Palace."
