Chapter 453: The Calm Before the Storm

The two of them walked all the way out of the palace towards a large restaurant in the bazaar, chatting happily, not noticing that a figure had been following.

……

On the other side, Emperor Yan returned to the palace and dealt with the affairs of the eldest prince non-stop. With the courtesy of the king of Nanfeng, he buried the imperial mausoleum. According to the ancestral training of Nanfeng Kingdom, the prince with a title and fief or a minor prince who died in infancy is not qualified to be buried in the imperial tomb. Emperor Yan's move has already given Queen Liu full face and attention.

The funeral ceremony was held for a whole day, and all the ministers of the court and China had to go to the imperial tomb to attend the burial of the eldest prince. Such courtesy, Queen Liu and the Yuan family were unexpected. Killed her beloved son, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and buried his own flesh and blood with his own hands, Queen Liu cried silently in front of the mausoleum, and finally fainted when the funeral was about to end.

Seeing that the affairs of the eldest prince were almost dealt with, Emperor Yan gave a few words of advice and took Queen Liu back to the palace to find the imperial doctor for treatment.

Queen Liu was sick and slept for a day and a night, but there was no sign of awakening, and there was no improvement.

Those imperial doctors tried their best to prescribe the right medicine and let her wake up at noon.

When Emperor Yan heard this, he immediately rushed to the palace of the dead, and when he walked to the outer room, he saw Xing'er who was entering the house with medicine, glanced at it, frowned, and said: "I heard that Yao Lao has been living in the palace for a long time these days, why didn't the queen see him when she was sick?"

Xing'er sighed in her heart, panicked instantly, looked at Queen Liu in the room with evasive eyes, and replied weakly with low eyebrows: "Back to the emperor, Yao Lao has been obsessed with medicine recently, and I heard that there are many herbs in the palace, so I begged my mother to stay in the palace." The mother looked at the medicine and loved the medicine very much, so she agreed. It was precisely because of this that he accidentally encountered a poisonous weed when he was making medicine, and he was still unconscious, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to wake up again in this life, so the medicine girl took him back to the Valley of the Medicine King. ”

Xing'er was delicate, and in just a few words, she cleared up the suspicion that Yao Lao was staying in the palace, and explained the ins and outs and his current whereabouts, which really made people unable to find a trace of error.

Emperor Yan stared at her with a solemn face, the emperor's sense of oppression came to her face, Xing'er bit her lip lightly, almost unable to stand, buried her head tightly, and did not say a word.

She was stiff and motionless, and when she was about to lose her body, Emperor Yan looked away, lifted the bead curtain and walked in, without asking any more questions.

Xing'er suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and followed lightly, not daring to look up.

Seeing that Empress Liu was awake, Emperor Yan spoke out to comfort him for a while and went out. Just when the palace people thought that he was going back to the palace, he suddenly turned his head and strode towards the side hall.

A palace man was so shocked that he didn't dare to step forward to stop him, and hurriedly ran into Queen Liu's bedroom to report the matter.

Queen Liu struggled to sit up from the bed, just trotted out a few steps, and suddenly stopped, turned her head sideways and said a word to Xing'er, who quickly took the order and left.

As soon as Emperor Yan walked outside the room where the third prince was imprisoned, Xing'er rushed to him and blocked him, looking anxious: "Your Majesty, Niangniang has fainted again." ”

Emperor Yan frowned and ordered: "Furen, call a few more imperial doctors over, if you can't save the queen, bring their heads to see me." ”

Fukuren took the order and trotted away. Xing'er looked at Emperor Shangyan's cold eyes, and she stopped talking. Emperor Yan walked around him and pushed the door open.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the third prince subconsciously hid behind the curtain, trembling. Emperor Yan looked left and right, but found it empty.

Strange things just happened in Kunning Palace two nights ago, those palace people were too busy to take care of themselves, and the grandmothers who never left an inch on weekdays were not in the house, let alone those palace maids who were waiting.

Emperor Yan thought about it, raised his feet and walked in. On the right, which was only a few steps away from the door, the lady saw that the door was opened, and hurried over, rushed inside, and saw a palace maid with a raw face, and shouted, "Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Then she turned her head slightly, and all she saw was a group of fresh faces, and she shouted out in a panic, "Come on, come on, Concubine Yue has sent someone to kidnap the third prince." ”

Xing'er still wanted to stop it, but now that it was difficult to recover, she immediately scolded: "Bold, the emperor is here, how can you be allowed to shout." ”

"What emperor, let me tell you, you broke in rashly without consent, if the queen mother knows, she will not be able to spare you. "Niangniang guessed right, these bold palace maids really dared to blatantly come over and rob the three princes.

As soon as the words fell, as if she had thought of something, and at the same time, the word emperor flashed in her mind, she looked in the direction where Xing'er was suspiciously, and happened to see Emperor Yan, her face turned purple with fright, her legs and feet were weak, and she said incoherently, "Emperor... The Emperor ......"

"Father. A frightened and immature child's voice came from behind the curtain, and the three princes rushed to him, hugging Emperor Yan's legs.

Emperor Yan touched his head, and the third prince saw Xing'er standing aside, and cowered and hid behind him.

He buried his head in fear and said, "Father, Yao'er is afraid." ”

The fear and uneasiness in his eyes were clear at a glance, and even if Emperor Yan didn't know the truth, he could guess a few points, hugged him, and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, my father is here." ”

The third prince wrapped his arms around his neck and shivered, and tears fell on his shoulders, but they only soaked the hem of his clothes in half a stroke.

He choked up intermittently, "Father... Father, Yao'er is afraid... I'm afraid ......"

Emperor Rao is Yan is like a rock, and at this moment, he unconsciously tightens his pain, and the hand holding him tightens a little tighter. Xing'er stood aside, her face could no longer be described as Tie Qing, and she lowered her head and pondered the words of defense.

Emperor Yan glanced at the grandmother and walked out with the third prince in his arms.

The grandmother staggered, knelt on the ground, and the palace people who followed behind saw Emperor Yan's eyes and acted, and dragged her down to deal with it.

Before leaving, Emperor Yan went to visit Empress Liu's bedroom, saw that she had woken up, said hello, and left with the third prince. From beginning to end, the three princes never raised their heads.

Queen Liu didn't dare to stop it, so she had to be secretly depressed.

Emperor Yan asked Furen to send the third prince back to the palace, and as soon as he walked outside the palace of the dead, he immediately stopped his tears and ran in happily.

He happily called, "Mother, mother." ”

Ruri was coming over from the kitchen with a plate of snacks, and when she saw him from a distance, she quickened her pace and walked over.

She looked joyful: "Three princes." ”

The third prince paused slightly, called Aunt Liuli and ran into the house. Su Zixu was taking a nap, and in a daze, she heard someone call her mother, she didn't care about it, but the voice became louder and louder from far to near, she fell asleep lightly, and soon woke up.

Seeing the small figure rushing towards her, she subconsciously opened her arms and caught him accurately.

"Mother. The third prince called out and began to sob again, sobbing again. Hearing the familiar cry, Su Zixu's heart felt as if a cut had been made, and it hurt faintly.

After leaving Su Zixu for many days, he was often intimidated, threatened, and abused by the grandmothers and palace maids of Kunning Palace, as if he had returned to the days when he depended on Mama Bai. Now that he finally returned to the Living Palace, he was still so frightened that his body kept trembling, so he tried his best to hug Su Zixu.

After a long time, he was tired, crying and crying and falling asleep, when Su Zixu put him on the bed, his little hand was still tightly grasping the corner of her clothes, and he didn't want to let go.
