Chapter 709
Inside Changle Palace.
After listening to Confucius' reply, the Empress Dowager was silent for a long time before she spoke.
"Aijia always thinks this is a bit strange."
Nvshi Kong said cautiously, "What's wrong?"
The Empress Dowager raised her hand, and Nvshi Kong immediately supported her to stand up.
They walked towards the inner room.
The Empress Dowager waved the others back and said while walking.
"The emperor's attitude towards the imperial concubine is very strange. He values the imperial concubine too much. Even if Lu Xuanshi was wrong about what happened last night, he would not be thrown into the cold palace."
Nvshi Confucius speculated: "Maybe the emperor is just in a hurry."
The Empress Dowager: "No, the emperor grew up with Ai's family, and Ai's family is very aware of his temper. Back then, when Empress Qin forced him so much, he was not in a hurry. How could he be in such a hurry because of this trivial matter? "
Nvshi Confucius could not answer.
The Empress Dowager: "For so many years, the emperor will only be anxious in one situation."
Confucius Nvshi asked, "What's the situation?"
The Empress Dowager: "He will only worry about things related to Concubine Xiao."
Whether it was to stop Qianli rushing back to Beijing to save people, or to vomit blood and faint when he heard the news of his death, it was all because of a concubine Xiao.
As long as it is related to Concubine Xiao, the emperor will easily lose his mind and do impulsive things.
The Empress Dowager exhaled slowly, her tone a little heavy.
"Last night, the emperor's reaction when he saw the imperial concubine vomited blood and fell into a coma, suddenly reminded Aijia of how he was so shocked that he was about to collapse when he heard the news of Concubine Xiao's death."
And the look the emperor looked at her last night...
That look was full of anger.
It was as if as long as the imperial concubine had three strengths and two weaknesses, he would go crazy and drag everyone to hell.
The Empress Dowager still has lingering fears when she thinks of that look in his eyes.
After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Confucius also felt that the emperor's reaction last night was too extreme.
No matter how much he favors the imperial concubine, the emperor should not contradict the empress dowager in public.
Confucius asked tentatively.
"You are suspicious of your concubine..."
The Empress Dowager: "The Ai family originally thought that the imperial concubine was just a substitute. The emperor couldn't love Xiao side concubine, so he could only keep the substitute of the imperial concubine by his side for comfort, but now it seems that things are not so simple."
Kong Nvshi: "But Concubine Xiao is already dead, and Concubine Xiao is the eldest daughter of General Xiao, but Concubine Nanyue is Princess Nanyue. There is no relationship between the two."
There are too many doubts in this matter.
The Empress Dowager sat down on the soft couch and had a vague idea in her heart.
She calmed down and said slowly.
"Lu Xuanshi has nothing to do for the time being, ask someone to appease her, help her with some help by the way, don't let anyone bully her.
In addition, send a message to Princess Hua'an and ask her to enter the palace, and the Ai family has something to tell her. "
"Here."
Princess Hua An was the younger sister of the late emperor and the daughter of the Empress Dowager. After the death of the late Emperor, Princess Hua An was canonized as the eldest princess, and the Empress Dowager often told her to speak in the palace.
Today, she received an oral order from the Empress Dowager, and immediately changed her clothes and entered the palace.
...
After Luo Qinghan came out of the council hall, he went directly to the imperial study.
He picked up a memorial and ordered.
"Trust the imperial physician."
Eunuch Chang responded, and he sent a little eunuch to the imperial hospital to deliver a message.
Soon, Imperial Physician Fang came to the imperial study.
"Wei Chen pays respects to the emperor."
Luo Qinghan picked up the red pen, wrote a precise word on the memorial, threw it aside, raised his eyes and glanced at Imperial Physician Fang.
"Did you go to see the imperial concubine just now?"
Fang Taiyi replied solemnly: "If you go back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen has just checked the pulse of the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine's body is better than yesterday, but her qi and blood are still relatively weak, and she needs to take care of herself."
Luo Qinghan asked everyone else to go down, and only he and Imperial Physician Fang were left in the imperial study.
Luo Qinghan: "There are no outsiders here, tell me the truth, why do you want to enter the palace to be an imperial physician?"
Fang Wujiu smiled slightly: "Naturally, it is to protect Junior Sister comprehensively."
Luo Qinghan: "It's enough for her to have Zhen to protect her."
Fang Wujiu didn't tell him apart, but said, "An extra layer of protection is always more secure."
Luo Qinghan carefully looked at his expression and saw that when he mentioned his junior sister, he was not possessive, but only cared and cherished, and relaxed his guard against him a little.
"I called you here because I have something to ask you."
Fang Wujiu: "Does Your Majesty want to ask about Junior Sister?"
Talking to a smart person is like that, and it's clear at one point.
Luo Qinghan: "I want to know her experience in the past year."
Fang Wujiu: "Why don't your majesty ask her directly?"
Luo Qinghan: "She always reports good news but not bad news. I want to know all her experiences, whether it's good or bad."
Fang Wujiu: "Then let me start when she left Shengjing."
...
In the past, Luo Qinghan would not return to Weiyang Palace until after noon, but before noon today, he had already returned to Weiyang Palace.
Luo Qinghan: "What is the imperial concubine doing?"
Mo Hua answered truthfully: "The lady is resting in the house."
She paused and then added: "Just now, Nv Shi Kong, who was beside the Empress Dowager, came over."
Luo Qinghan: "What is she here for?"
Mo Hua: "It was said that she came to visit the concubine on behalf of the Empress Dowager. When she left, her face didn't look very good."
Luo Qinghan knew what to do, and waved his hand to signal Mo Hua to retreat.
He went to the bedroom.
Since Xiao Xixi spent the night in the dormitory last night, she has stayed here, and even had people bring all her frequently used things.
When Luo Qinghan walked into the dormitory, Xiao Xixi was lying on the soft couch reading the script, her legs lifted and swayed, and her trousers slipped down, revealing a fair and slender calf.
Baoqin was peeling oranges for her, and when she saw the emperor coming, Baoqin quickly got up to greet her.
Luo Qinghan waved his hand, and Baoqin stepped back wisely.
Xiao Xixi threw away the script, turned over and sat up, happily speaking.
"Your Majesty, why did you come back so early today?"
She jumped down and collapsed with bare feet, stepping on the smooth white marble floor and ran towards him.
Luo Qinghan picked him up.
"Why don't you wear shoes?"
Xiao Xixi smiled with frowning eyes: "It's not cold."
Luo Qinghan put her on the soft couch and touched her little feet.
Xiao Xixi quickly retracted her feet.
"I just stepped on the ground, don't touch it, it's dirty."
She remembered that the emperor was slightly obsessed with cleanliness.
Luo Qinghan just learned from Fang Wujiu of Xiao Xixi's experience in the past year, and how much effort she had put in to get back to him. He is full of love for her now, so why would he care about her? Are your feet dirty?
He reached out and pulled the man into his arms and hugged him tightly.
Xiao Xixi noticed that his mood was not right, she blinked her almond eyes and asked.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"
Luo Qinghan: "It's okay, I just want to hug you."
