When the chief eunuch withdrew, Liang Qiongshi happened to frowned slightly.Xu Zhaoping thought that the eunuch had disturbed the people on the couch when he withdrew, so he hurriedly imitated the appearance of the palace people and told Liang Qiongshi that the eunuch had withdrawn from the palace.

"Ma'am, Grandpa is gone!"

Liang Qiongshi couldn't help being dazed when she heard the palace maid's address, but she never noticed that the eunuch who served her was always a father-in-law. 'Grandpa', what kind of status should this be? Liang Qiongshi lightly clenched her hands, and began to think wildly, could she be in the cold palace, and then being watched by a grandpa? Although she is often served by palace people , but it seems that he has never seen a concubine of higher rank come to see and visit him.Moreover, since the king left yesterday, it seems that he has not looked for himself in the future.

The more Liang Qiongshi thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and finally she became a little anxious. She really didn't have a single person around her. It would be great if Qiuhe was by her side, but there was no one!

No, there are people around her! Liang Qiongshi suddenly remembered the palace man that the eunuch left for her.She anxiously stretched out her hand to visit the palace man who made her feel at ease!

Seeing Liang Qiongshi's hand tentatively in the air, Xu Zhaoping quickly stretched out his hand to hold it, and by the way, stabilized Liang Qiongshi to the side of the bed, "What's wrong with you, ma'am?"

Liang Qiongshi felt that her hand was being held, and her heart was not as flustered as it was at the beginning.But she was still terrified, worried that she would be disgusted just after entering the palace.Obviously, the king shouldn't care about it.But...Liang Qiongshi didn't want to admit it. After entering the palace, her mentality seemed to be different from before.She seems to be expecting the king to come to see her? Thinking that she is looking forward to the grace, her expression can't help but become weird.

But Xu Zhaoping saw Liang Qiongshi's expression getting more and more strange, and didn't know what to do. After thinking about it, he felt that the status of a palace servant seemed to be more inconvenient than that of a king, so he prepared to leave first and come in as a king later.

"Your Majesty, it's four o'clock, and this servant should retire."

When these words fell into Liang Qiongshi's ears, it seemed that it had another meaning, this palace servant was about to leave her.Liang Qiongshi's heart was filled with restlessness for a moment, she was self-absorbed and abandoned, thinking that she would fall out of favor as soon as she entered the palace, Liang Qiongshi suddenly wanted to see the king.But with this idea, she felt that it was out of place. The king is the king of the whole country, not her alone. He can't revolve around himself all day long.Wait? I expect the king to revolve around me?

Liang Qiongshi's heart suddenly tugged.But just entering the palace, she was expecting the king to revolve around her? How could she be so weak? For a moment, Liang Qiongshi's thoughts became disturbed. At first, she just doubted the king, but finally she doubted herself.Did the meal offend the king yesterday? So the king sent his father-in-law to monitor him?

Xu Zhaoping didn't expect that just one action would cause Liang Qiongshi to have many speculations, and after she resigned, he was ready to go out.Unexpectedly, before turning around, Liang Qiongshi suddenly wrapped her arms around her waist.

"Ma'am, what is this?" Xu Zhaoping didn't dare to move, she was worried that Liang Qiongshi would guess her identity by touching the jade around her waist.

Hearing the palace man's question, Liang Qiongshi regained consciousness a little bit, and vaguely realized that she had panicked too much, so she quickly let go of her hand and shrank back on the couch.Ever since she lost her sight, she has become more suspicious. She must have caused trouble just now.

Seeing Liang Qiongshi shrinking back, Xu Zhaoping knew that Liang Qiongshi had frightened herself.It was also mentioned in the secret book that Qiongshi seems to lose her soul easily.But, why did she lose her soul? Xu Zhaoping suddenly remembered that he had just said that his father-in-law was leaving, and then that he was going to step down.Could it be that Qiongshi thought she was the only one in this hall? Didn't she stay alone yesterday well?

Xu Zhaoping couldn't figure out the source for a while, he only knew that this palace man had to keep pretending, so he turned around and poured a cup of tea on the table, ready to serve it to Liang Qiongshi to calm her down.But the two teapots on the table made her trouble again.One hot and one cold.Which pot to pour? It should be hot! Xu Zhaoping tested the side of the pot with his fingers and chose the hot one.

When Xu Zhaoping handed the teacup to Liang Qiongshi's hand, Liang Qiongshi's hands couldn't stop shaking, and in the end she couldn't hold the teacup steadily and poured it all over Xu Zhaoping.

At this time, the eunuch just happened to walk into the main hall, saw Liang Qiongshi sitting on the couch, pouring the teacup towards the king, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please slow down!"

Xu Zhaoping listened to the eunuch's words, glanced at him, shook his head lightly, squeezed Liang Qiongshi's hand again, looked at it, and found that there was nothing serious, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, be careful! It seems a little red."

When Liang Qiongshi heard the palace man say that her hands were scorched red, she felt a little sorry for a while, it seemed that the cup of tea she had just spilled all on the palace man's hand.

While comforting Liang Qiongshi, Xu Zhaoping signaled to the eunuch to invite the imperial physician.

The eunuch looked at the king, then looked back at the teapot on the table, and knew that the king had made a mistake in pouring tea.But he could not blame the king for anything.Two teapots are used for warming tea.

The chief eunuch smiled and bowed, "May I ask this old slave to find a doctor?"

Hearing that the returning father-in-law was going to seek the imperial physician, Liang Qiongshi nodded quickly.

Seeing that Liang Qiongshi nodded, the chief eunuch immediately handed over a volume of books to the king respectfully, then turned around and quickly moved to the door, and found a junior eunuch to reprimand him to seek the imperial doctor.Xu Zhaoping took the scroll that the eunuch found for her, opened it and read it, it probably told a story about catching ghosts.It doesn't seem very good to tell a girl's family about catching ghosts in the middle of the night.But Qiongshi seemed to really like her before.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Zhaoping decided to read this story, "Madam, how about I read to you?"

Hearing the somewhat soft female voice, Liang Qiongshi's heart instantly calmed down. She sat down on the inner side of the bed, and beckoned to Xu Zhaoping, indicating that she could sit beside her.Seeing Liang Qiongshi calling her to sit beside her, Xu Zhaoping was extremely happy, but the robe on her body made her hesitate.She came in a hurry from the next court, and her clothes and hair accessories were very different from those of the palace people.She pretended to be a court lady just casually, who would have guessed that Qiongshi would rather be close to the palace servants, after thinking about it again and again, Xu Zhaoping still said, "Your Majesty, this is against the rules!"

Is it against the rules? Liang Qiongshi is slightly dazed, she really likes people to study.It's a pity that there are not many literate women in this era. After being blind, my father is not careful, so he can't remember to find a literate girl for him.After a rough calculation, she seems to have been away from the scroll for six years.

"Your Majesty, I'd better stand here and read!"

Listening to the palace man's voice, Liang Qiongshi nodded lightly.I haven't listened to anyone read for so long, so I'm inexplicably looking forward to it.

"In the fourth year of Qianyou, Sun Tang had a scholar because... that ghost was..."

After Xu Zhaoping finished reading, she was already extremely sleepy, the story was extremely dull.And took her to look up at the person listening to the book, only to find that the person was hugging the brocade quilt, trembling.

"My lady, what's the matter?" Xu Zhaoping hurried to the front, she thought she should go to bed after reading Qiongshi's story.

Liang Qiongshi shook her head lightly, but did not dare to move.What the palace man just read was the fairy tales that she liked very much when she was young, so it should be in line with her wishes.But since it was all dark in front of her eyes, she was a little afraid of ghosts and gods.She was afraid, she was afraid that if she fell asleep, she would dream or touch something she shouldn't touch.She even felt that when she closed her eyes, there were ghosts everywhere!

Seeing that Liang Qiongshi just shook her head lightly, Xu Zhaoping had no choice but to continue to bend over and lean closer to Liang Qiongshi, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

Feeling the breathing that was getting closer, Liang Qiongshi suddenly got up from the couch, hugged Xu Zhaoping suddenly, and huddled in her arms, unwilling to go out.

This embrace reassures her.

Xu Zhaoping tried to pat Liang Qiongshi on the shoulder, but Liang Qiongshi still closed her eyes tightly.

Afraid of being frightened, Xu Zhaoping was in an inexplicable mood.Looking at the person curled up in his arms, his eyes dimmed, panting slightly, Xu Zhaoping sighed, stretched out his arms to wrap around the person in his arms, and then asked in a female voice in her ear, "Your Majesty, don't you want me to go to bed with you?"
