Duan Fei thought that after she said this, the emperor would mention the matter of establishing the prince. Unexpectedly, the emperor changed the subject lightly. The smile on his face suddenly became a little stiff, but he did not dare to continue asking questions. He nodded and smiled, "That's natural."
, The Emperor attaches great importance to filial piety..."
Xiao Heng saw the unnatural smile on her face, looked at her deeply, and then said quietly: "Does your beloved concubine have something to ask me?"
Concubine Duan was stunned. Unexpectedly, the little abacus in her heart was seen by the emperor. She felt a little panicked and didn't know how to answer.
She hesitated for a while before she smiled and said, "I just don't understand why the emperor brought me and the fifth prince to Yuqing Palace to escape the summer heat this time?"
"Don't I like me to bring you one?" Xiao Heng did not answer her, but raised his eyebrows and asked. He could not hear any emotional changes in his words, but made Concubine Duan's heart skip and became uneasy.
Perhaps that feeling of uneasiness has never disappeared since she followed the emperor out of the palace!
Even though the palace maid Shaoyao said a lot of nice things, she guessed from the emperor's words just now that the emperor definitely did not intend to bring her here to escape the summer heat just because she favored her alone!
How could she be so proud of what Shaoyao said?! In the harem, she was not a pet lover in the pepper room, and the emperor would still visit other concubines from time to time...
"Of course I like it..." Concubine Duan was not sure what the emperor thought, so she could only answer carefully.
Xiao Heng wanted to say something, but a little eunuch suddenly came to report something, said something in Xiao Heng's ear, and sent a letter to Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng's face changed slightly, his brows frowned tightly, and anger flashed in his eyes, making Concubine Duan feel more and more uneasy.
"You retreat first..." After Xiao Heng waved away the eunuch, Concubine Duan hurriedly asked with concern: "Emperor, is something wrong in the palace?"
Seeing Xiao Heng frowning and his expression was gloomy, Concubine Duan hurriedly asked Shaoyao to bring a cup of tea to Xiao Heng, asking him to reduce the fire. Unexpectedly, after reading the letter, Xiao Heng slammed the tea cup to the ground, with his face.
The emperor was even more angry.
Shaoyao thought the emperor was dissatisfied with the tea, so she fell to her knees on the ground and kept kowtowing: "Your Majesty forgive me!"
Xiao Heng waved his hand and ordered coldly: "You retreat first!"
Shaoyao subconsciously looked at Concubine Duan. Seeing Concubine Duan wink at her, she stood up and retreated in cold sweat. Only Xiao Heng and Concubine Duan were left in Paiyun Pavilion.
Although Duan Fei saw Xiao Heng's angry expression, she was uneasy, but she still walked to Xiao Heng, rubbed his shoulders personally, and said softly: "Master, no matter how big the matter happens, don't be angry.
!”
Xiao Heng grabbed her wrist and prevented her from continuing to massage her shoulders. He threw the letter in his hand in front of Concubine Duan, and said coldly: "You can read it yourself!"
Concubine Duan took the letter in confusion, lowered her head and looked carefully. When she saw the letter, it was written to her by her father quietly, her face changed.
Before this, her father often sent letters to her bedroom, but this was contrary to the palace rules and Concubine Duan never dared to let the emperor know about it.
But this time, she came to the palace with the emperor to escape the summer heat. Why did her father even send letters?!
Concubine Duan didn't expect that her father would be so careless this time and would hurt her. She was secretly complaining, but after seeing the content of the letter, her face suddenly changed.
