Chapter 687
Luo Qinghan called Eunuch Chang and asked him to send Xiao Xixi back.
Eunuch Chang made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Xixi.
Xiao Xixi was helpless and could only leave.
She returned to her residence and stopped Eunuch Chang who was about to leave.
"Why does Your Majesty drink medicine? Is he sick?"
Eunuch Chang smiled and said respectfully.
"Your Majesty's servants don't dare to talk too much. If the princess wants to know, it is better to ask Your Majesty directly."
Seeing his watertight appearance, Xiao Xixi knew that she couldn't ask any useful information, so she could only let him go.
Eunuch Chang returned to the dormitory and saw that the emperor was still sitting, with the remaining half bowl of soup and medicine by his hand.
"Your Majesty, this medicine is already cold, the servant will let you cook another bowl for you."
Luo Qinghan said lightly, "No need."
Eunuch Chang hesitated: "You only drank half a bowl of medicine, can you sleep at night?"
Luo Qinghan looked at the purple hydrangea in his hand.
"I don't want to drink any more medicine."
Eunuch Chang was anxious: "If you don't drink medicine, what if you have nightmares again at night?"
Luo Qinghan thought to himself that she had returned, and his heart disease was cured without medicine.
Just give him a little more time, and he can completely get rid of the previous state of nightmares every night.
When he is completely healed, he can sleep with her in his arms without worrying about scaring her.
Luo Qinghan: "Bring a vase here."
Eunuch Chang immediately brought over a pure white porcelain bottle with delicate texture and exquisite workmanship.
Luo Qinghan inserted the purple hydrangea into the porcelain vase and put it on the low cabinet by the bedside.
He lay down on the bed, looking at the purple hydrangea, his mind was full of her, and he was in a very good mood.
fell asleep unconsciously.
He thought he would definitely have a good dream tonight.
Unexpectedly, he woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night.
The two palace maids in charge of the vigil heard the movement and walked in immediately.
They saw the emperor sitting on the couch, his face pale, and his chest seemed to be frightened by a nightmare because of the rapid breathing and violent ups and downs.
The two of them didn't dare to look any further, they quickly retracted their gazes, skillfully called warm water, wiped the cold sweat off the emperor's face, and brought a cup of soothing hot tea.
Luo Qinghan drank the tea and felt a little smoother.
He waved his hand, and the palace maid and eunuch agreed and silently exited.
Luo Qinghan dreamed of Xiao Xixi just now.
Xixi in the dream said with a smile that she was back and gave him gifts and flowers.
But when he woke up from a sleep, he found that everything was just a dream.
She didn't come back, no gifts, no flowers.
Nothing at all.
The feeling of getting it and then losing it suddenly, like stepping on the air and falling into the abyss.
Thinking back on that nightmare now, he still felt a lingering fear in his heart.
Luo Qinghan looked at the purple hydrangea lying by the bed, and took out the ring jade pendant from under the pillow.
He exhaled softly.
Fortunately, everything is still there, everything is true.
Holding the jade pendant, he looked at the hydrangea by the bed, and spent the night with his eyes open.
The sky gradually brightened.
When it was time to get up, Luo Qinghan lifted the quilt and sat up.
When Mo Hua, who was standing outside the door, heard the movement, he immediately walked in with the maids, and skillfully waited on the emperor to change and wash.
After getting dressed properly, Luo Qinghan went to the room where Xiao Xixi was.
The door was not fastened and opened with a slight push.
Luo Qinghan raised his hand, Mo Hua and others understood, and immediately stopped, standing outside the door honestly, without following up.
Inside the house, Xiao Xixi was sleeping on all sides.
Half of the quilt on her body was kicked to the ground by her, and the other half was covered on her belly. The two white and tender feet were all exposed, and the trouser legs were also rolled up, revealing a snow-white slender calf.
Luo Qinghan walked over slowly, first looked at how she was sleeping, then bent over to help her pull down her trouser legs, and then helped her cover the quilt.
Xiao Xixi noticed that there was someone beside her, and raised her eyelids subconsciously. Seeing that it was Luo Qinghan, she closed her eyes with confidence and continued to sleep soundly.
Luo Qinghan touched her face.
Soft and warm to the touch, very real.
Not fake.
"Xixi, wait for me to come back and have lunch together."
Xiao Xixi answered vaguely: "Ang..."
Luo Qinghan kissed her on the forehead, turned and walked out.
Breakfast is ready.
Luo Qinghan's appetite is worse now than before, he only drank half a bowl of porridge, then put down the bowl and chopsticks and stopped eating.
Eunuch Chang advised: "Your Majesty, can you use more? It's still early before lunch time. You will be busy in the future. You will be hungry if you only eat this much."
Luo Qinghan: "I'm not hungry."
Eunuch Chang was very worried, the emperor was only twenty years old now, it should be the time to eat, but his appetite is getting worse and worse, which is really not a good phenomenon.
Luo Qinghan: "Instruct the imperial kitchen to prepare some meals for the princess to nourish blood and qi, and there is also the imperial hospital, let them get some tonics, use the best medicinal materials, make them with heart, and you will be rewarded if you do well."
Eunuch Chang: "Well."
Seeing the emperor like this, he really cares about that Princess Nanfeng.
I just don't know if it's because of Princess Nanfeng herself? Or is it because Princess Nanfeng looks like Concubine Xiao?
Although the emperor announced that Concubine Xiao had left the palace to recuperate due to illness, many people in the palace knew that Concubine Xiao had disappeared and was probably dead, and she would never come back in her life.
Thinking of this, Eunuch Chang felt more and more pitiful for the emperor.
Even if you are sitting on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, you can't save your loved one, you can only find a substitute for comfort.
Luo Qinghan noticed Eunuch Chang's strange eyes, and could roughly guess what Eunuch Chang was thinking, but he didn't mean to explain, he just said lightly.
"The order goes on, and Princess Nanfeng is conferred as a noble concubine, and she is given to live in Yunxiu Palace."
He wanted to canonize Xixi directly as the empress, but now her status is rather special, and there will definitely be many obstacles in establishing her as the queen.
It's better to let her be a concubine first, and when he cleans up the front harem, he can safely support her in the back position.
Eunuch Chang hurriedly said: "The Yunxiu Palace has not been owned for a long time, so it has to be cleaned up, and various supplies have to be added, which will take a lot of time."
Luo Qinghan: "No hurry, you have to let people clean up slowly, don't cut corners."
He paused and added another sentence.
"Transfer Baoqin to Yunxiu Palace, and serve the noble concubine in a good life."
"Here."
...
After Concubine Xiao left, Baoqin was sad for a long time.
Originally, Concubine Li wanted to make her a first-class maid, but she declined.
She didn't want to serve any master other than Concubine Xiao.
After a period of silence, she gradually cheered up and took the initiative to express her desire to go to the imperial kitchen as an errand.
So the emperor transferred her to the imperial kitchen.
Not only is Baoqin good at cooking, she is lively and generous, but also has a good relationship with Eunuch Chang, and everyone in the imperial kitchen likes her very much.
Even if there are very few people who are envious of her, they would not dare to do anything to her because of Eunuch Chang's face.
Now Baoqin has been the steward of the imperial kitchen, and she is very much used by a major steward, and her career is on the rise.
At this time, she suddenly received the emperor's will, she was surprised, but also felt angry.
"Why did you transfer me to Yunxiu Palace?"
