Han Yulang watched the empress go to the inner hall, feeling unable to calm down for a long time.
She originally thought that the Empress was so favored by the Emperor because of her family background or her stunning beauty. Perhaps she should have understood that she would not be afraid of any humiliation due to her status as a woman. The person who stood up was different from others from the beginning.
Her courage, intelligence, and careful mind that sees the overall situation are enough for her to sit firmly in the back seat.
"Shen Ting, please go to the garden again for me." Si Ningchi entered the palace and turned to Shen Ting and said, "Follow General Han to investigate this matter."
"Your Majesty, are you worried about General Han?" Shen Ting looked up at Si Ningchi and asked in a low voice.
"Although I intend to win over Han Yulang, I can't completely trust her now." Si Ningchi lowered his eyes slightly and said: "The people who are protecting the emperor this time are Han Yulang's people. We must think deeply if Han Yulang has any conspiracy. The most suspicious thing is the heart.”
"I just want to plan a little more, just in case." Si Ningchi looked at Shen Ting and said with a gentle smile.
"I understand." Shen Ting bowed his head in agreement, turned around and went out.
The imperial doctors in the palace had already bandaged the emperor's wounds, applied medicine, packed up his things, and left. Several concubines were still squeezing and refusing to leave. Empress Dowager Cui was trying to push Wang Chengxiang into the palace to have a look at the emperor. .
Wang Chengxiang used the excuse left by the imperial doctor that the emperor had not yet woken up and needed to rest and not see anyone.
Empress Dowager Cui refused to give up, and Wang Chengxiang was so noisy that he raised his eyes and saw the queen who had returned, as if he had seen a savior, and hurriedly came forward and bowed to salute: "The queen."
"Tell the kitchen to prepare some soft, glutinous and easy-to-eat meals. Keep them light and bring them to you when the emperor wakes up." Si Ningchi said in a calm tone, looking down at Wang Chengxiang: "The people serving the emperor should be replaced by trustworthy ones."
"Every palace maid and eunuch who enters Chengming Palace must be searched, and the food and drink must be arranged by the butler to test for poison one by one." Si Ningchi turned to look at Empress Dowager Cui and other concubines, raised her lips slightly and smiled: "The emperor is leaving the palace. I don’t know how the news got leaked.”
"The Empress Dowager and your sisters should stay well in their own palaces. The Emperor will be guarded by me." She looked at Empress Dowager Cui with a smile and said: "Don't cause trouble here, otherwise... ”
"I have to think carefully about whether I have bad intentions."
"The Emperor is unconscious. The Ai family is the Queen Mother and she has the right to make the decision. How can you allow you to drive her away?" Queen Mother Cui suddenly became anxious after hearing what Si Ningchi said.
"Queen Mother?" Si Ningchi smiled, raised his eyes and looked at her and said word by word: "If the Queen Mother wants to take the initiative, she should first take over the power of co-managing the Sixth Palace from me. Queen Mother, you also I know you are the Queen Mother."
Xu Zhaorong secretly took a breath and lowered his eyes and responded: "I thank you for your teachings. I must always remember them and never have second thoughts."
Si Ningchi curled her lips and smiled and got up and entered the dormitory. Now she finally had time to take a good look at Zhao Zongheng. He was sleeping soundly and soundly with his eyes closed. This was the first time she took a serious look at Zhao Zongheng's sleeping face. Closing his dark eyes, he seemed to have lost his majestic attitude as an emperor. He looked so handsome with his eyebrows relaxed, and the handsomeness between his eyebrows inexplicably reminded Si Ningchi of the way he smiled. "You are so stupid that you can hurt yourself." Si Ningchi muttered and cursed in a low voice. He reached for the teacup on the table, dipped a handkerchief in water and applied it to his chapped lips to moisturize his lips.
Lips to avoid chapped lips and bleeding.
The lips that were gradually moistened by the tea showed a bit of pink and looked very delicious. Si Ningchi stared at it for a while, her eyebrows curved and she leaned down to kiss him on the lips.
This seemed to be the first time she took the initiative to kiss him, with a bit of heartache and worry, and perhaps the love that couldn't be ignored.
It is undeniable that Zhao Zongheng touched her heart. There is no need to deliberately recall, she can recall every bit of her time with him in the blink of an eye.
