Chapter 123 Failed
"Then Your Majesty, please be busy now. I will wait for you at Suiyuxuan tomorrow."
Zhen Huan considerately and respectfully saw the emperor off.
His dark eyes stared at Yikun Palace for a long while before he turned around with a sullen face.
When Concubine Hua learned that the Emperor did not follow Zhen Huan back to Sui Yuxuan, she smiled and ordered someone to add a handful of fresh vegetables and a few small fish to the tired fairy duck.
However, the emperor was not in such a good mood when he returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
He gave Su Peisheng a cold look and gave a stern order.
"Go and call Zhang Wuwei to me!"
"Slave, go right away."
Su Peisheng was shocked when he felt the emperor's anger. He quickly backed out of the palace and asked Xiao Xiazi to go and ask for help.
He was really derelict in his duty for not noticing the emperor's discomfort at the first time.
Nothing good ever happens when I meet Cui Jinxi!
What bad luck!
Zhang Wuwei looked at the purple spot on the emperor's arm and saw that the skin was not broken, so he tactfully left a blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment on the emperor's arm.
"Doctor Zhang, may I ask where the Emperor is injured?"
Su Peisheng pulled the person who came out to a corner and asked softly.
"Eunuch Su, it looks like something bit the emperor's arm."
"With the blood-activating and stasis-removing ointment passed down from my Zhang family, the bruises will disappear in no time."
Zhang Wuwei has great confidence in the ancestral plaster.
Su Peisheng immediately realized that the emperor must have been bitten by a flat-haired beast.
What is this all about?
After much thought, I still feel that Suiyuxuan is his nemesis.
Su Peisheng enjoyed the breeze outside for a while, then walked into the hall holding a cup of tea.
"Your Majesty, I have received word from my servants that Concubine Chun, who is recuperating in Zhongcui Palace, was frightened by a snake or rat a few days ago and is now bedridden."
"I heard that the Queen has sent the imperial physician over."
The emperor had a good impression of Chun'er, a pure-hearted woman. Thinking that she had also lost her child in the palace banquet farce, he gave the order.
"Before you go to Suiyuxuan tomorrow, remember to remind me to go to Zhongcui Palace."
"The slave obeys."
He thought about it and casually said that he would stop by Yonghe Palace for lunch tomorrow.
Since they are all in the East Six Palaces, we might as well go and see them together.
Now even Su Peisheng looked at his master in surprise. He wondered how Concubine Wan from Suiyuxuan would react after learning about the emperor's arrangements?
Putting aside Zhen Huan's reaction, An Lingrong was silent for a long time after learning from Xiao Xia Zi about the emperor's arrangements for tomorrow.
"Eunuch Xia, has the Emperor informed you of the Zhongcui Palace?"
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Su did not mention this. I suspect the Emperor will have dinner at Suiyuxuan."
Just as she had guessed, An Lingrong handed him a letter.
"This is your letter from home. Take a look."
Xiao Xiazi knelt down in front of An Lingrong and took the letter from home with trembling hands.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
When he went out to roam the world, he was ambushed and when he woke up he had become a castrated bannerman.
Although revenge has been taken, what I miss most these years are my family.
My younger sister serves the Concubine Shu, and we can see each other often, but it is almost impossible to reunite with other people in the family.
I didn't expect that thanks to the Empress, I would receive a letter from home.
His father, mother and elder brother all sent greetings in the letters, and also said that his elder brother would be having good news soon, and that his future sister-in-law would be a maid serving the lady.
The family has agreed that if the eldest brother has two sons in the future, they will adopt the second son and perform the rituals of breaking pots and beating banners for him.
When Xiao Xiazi saw this, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
His relatives didn't say a word of blame, but instead tried their best to comfort him.
The old father also said at the end that their family was lying sick in the dental shop that day and no one cared about them, and it was the young lady who insisted on buying them back.
Let him repay the young lady for saving his life on behalf of his family.
Xiao Xiazi reluctantly folded the letter and handed it back.
"Master, Su Peisheng is very strict with his subordinates. I cannot let him discover the hidden secrets. Please help me burn this letter."
If his flaws were discovered, his family would definitely be implicated.
"I believe that one day I will be able to meet my family again."
He kowtowed three times to An Lingrong respectfully.
Before leaving, An Lingrong gave him a very ordinary small box, which contained the fever-reducing pills and summer-heat-relieving pills that Wei Lin had secretly made.
"Bao Que, send our people to tell Xiangyun that the emperor will visit Concubine Chun after lunch tomorrow."
Fang Jiachun thought that Xiangyun would definitely take action because something went wrong with the cakes sent by Zhen Huan.
If Concubine Chun failed to keep the emperor, wouldn't there still be Huanbi who was eyeing Suiyuxuan covetously?
The next day, when they met at the gate of Jingren Palace to pay their respects, Concubine Hua winked at An Lingrong proudly.
"Good morning, Sister Hua Fei!"
"Good morning, Sister Shufei!"
Concubine Hua looked at the person guarding the door with disdain, her face full of displeasure.
It was because these palace servants were watching her all the time that she was unable to share with An Lingrong the big thing she had done yesterday.
Her dissatisfaction continued until the queen appeared.
"What's wrong, Sister Hua Fei? I see that you are not very happy."
"Sister Queen, I saw something ugly on the road and it hurt my eyes."
As Hua Fei spoke, she looked outside, not hiding the disgust on her face at all.
Then she looked at everyone in the room again.
"Fortunately, the sisters present here are as beautiful as flowers and saved my sister's eyes."
"I also heard that the Queen back then was a famous beauty in the capital."
"It's a pity that my sister didn't get to see it."
When she was born, the old woman had already entered Prince Yong's mansion, so she had no chance to see him.
The queen was so angry that she clenched her fingers when she heard her mocking her old age.
Could it be that Concubine Hua was bitten by a dog early in the morning?
Hua Fei: That’s right, there are two guard dogs standing at the door.
"Sister Hua Fei, no matter how pretty the other sisters are, they are not as good as the Crown Prince."
"Perhaps when my sister gives birth to an heir to the throne, she will no longer look down on the beauty of us sisters."
The Queen was harsh in her words and always tried to hurt Concubine Hua.
"Sister Queen, having children depends on fate. I'm not in a hurry."
Hua Fei stopped talking when she had teased the Queen enough.
Sister Shufei is right. When you are unhappy, you should make others unhappy.
Because Concubine Hua ignited the Queen's anger, today's greetings ended hastily.
"Jianqiu, what's wrong with Concubine Hua today?"
The queen took off her armor irritably and threw it on the table.
Jianqiu gently pressed her shoulders and replied in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua has always been like this. It was only after General Nian passed away that she occasionally contradicted you."
After she reminded her, the queen realized that it seemed to be true.
She gently apologized to the baby in her belly.
"Be good, Honghui! I hope your mother didn't scare you just now."
That night the emperor stayed in Zhongcui Palace, and the lights in the main hall of Suiyuxuan were on until dawn.
