Chapter 6: Great Changes (1)
Black clouds are pressing down on the city, wind and rain are coming, and the air in the imperial capital is a little dull. Today's weather is particularly unusual, it has snowed in the imperial capital in October, but today is a little warmer, but it looks like there will be a heavy rain.
There were very few pedestrians outside, everyone was in a hurry to go home, and most of the shops were closed, and there was a tense atmosphere everywhere.
The Locke Mansion is still as quiet as ever. Luo's mother herself has a relatively quiet personality and rarely goes out to move around, and in the half a year that Luo's father was away, she couldn't take half a step, and refused all the banquets that could be refused, except for the occasional summons of Emperor Chen in the palace, and she has been staying in Luo's mansion.
A few days ago, Luo Qi and Luo Yuan had made an appointment to pick a time to see their mother together, and it happened that it was a little warm today, and Luo Qi was also a little uneasy in his heart, so he thought about going to his mother to see if anything had happened, so he went to Luo Yuan early and went to see Luo's mother together. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at Luo's mother's residence, I heard the sound of rain from far and near, and it suddenly began to pour down.
Luo Qi pulled Luo Yuan into his mother's house quickly. I saw that Luo's mother was dressed in plain white clothes, her hair was only fixed with a hairpin, her face was not greased and powdered, her face looked a little pale, and her hands were fiddling with some of the flowers in the vase on the table, which made people feel that her body was surrounded by a kind of sorrow.
Luo Qi couldn't bear to see her mother's appearance, she knew that since her father went on the expedition, her mother had been depressed, and there must be something to hide, but her mother didn't say it, so she didn't ask.
On the other side of the house, the maid set the meal and was about to call the lady. Luo Qi smelled the fragrance, his smart eyes rolled, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he looked at his younger brother. Luo Yuan sensed his sister's intentions and shook his head helplessly.
My sister has always been a "different person" in front of her father, and she is the first to be obedient.
"Mother, it's so fragrant!" Luo Qi's sweet voice broke the silence in the room, Luo's mother stopped playing with the flowers, and when she looked back, she saw her daughter's innocent and lovely smile.
Luo Qi took his younger brother to Luo's mother's side, gently tugged at Luo's mother's sleeve, and looked at his mother pitifully, "Mother, Xiaoyuan and I haven't had breakfast yet!" ”
Mother Luo looked at her daughter's delicate appearance, smiled slightly, and turned her head to ask the maid next to her to prepare two more sets of dishes and chopsticks.
From a distance, the picture is particularly harmonious. Luo Qi has been making Luo's mother happy, Luo Yuan is echoing his sister's speech, and Luo's mother is picking up vegetables for the two children.
Yinya looked at this scene, her eyes were a little moist, and her hands tightened unconsciously. She didn't tell the young lady the news from the Iron Rider......
Luo Qi enjoyed this rare and relaxing meal, but was suddenly interrupted by a rush sound.
I saw that the red man next to Emperor Chen, Chief Manager Li, came in with a few little eunuchs, and sent an edict from His Majesty, "Please enter the palace immediately, Your Majesty has something important to summon." ”
Mother Luo simply dressed up to make herself look more energetic, and followed Manager Li into the palace.
looked at the delicious food in front of them, but the mother was not there, and the sister and brother were not in the mood to continue eating.
As soon as she went out, Luo Qi saw Yinya, whose eyes were slightly red outside the door, and she said in a low voice, "Yinya, you have something to hide from me." ”
Yinya was a little absent-minded, and suddenly heard the young lady calling. It's because she forgot that Miss was never a delicate lady raised in a deep boudoir, she has insight and acuity beyond ordinary people.
"Yinya, since Daddy arranged you to my side, then I am your master. You should know what kind of punishment you should be punished in the shadows if you conceal something and do not report it. Luo Qi said casually, but his tone was indifferent and ruthless.
If Daddy likes her innocence and ignorance, then she will be as they want to be, but this does not mean that she is really ignorant.
Seeing Yinya's eyes sweeping around, Luo Qi also understood how important what she was about to say was. Now Luo Mansion can't be said to be very safe.
At this moment, the rain was a little lighter, and Luo Qi instructed his subordinates to bring a few umbrellas, led Luo Yuan, and motioned for Yinya to follow. The three of them went directly back to the Qing Pavilion.
Luo Qi didn't send Luo Yuan back to Yun Pavilion, because she knew that there were some things that Luo Yuan should know. Luo Yuan never said it, it didn't mean that she didn't notice it, and Yin Gu rarely appeared by Luo Yuan's side.
Luo Yuan stayed in the Cloud Pavilion for a long time due to physical reasons, and rarely went out, and everyone thought that Yin Gu had always been by Luo Yuan's side, only Luo Qi knew that Yin Gu was not always by Luo Yuan's side. His younger brother, although he is still young, is not stupid.
The sound of raindrops on the ground, with a rhythm, is especially evident in Qingge at this moment. Luo Qi looked at Yinya kneeling on the ground with a solemn expression. Luo Yuan sat silently on the side.
"What do you say, it's impossible! How could the Iron Rider Shadow Department suddenly issue a summoning order, are you sure the information is correct? Luo Qi frowned, his face was full of disbelief, the iron cavalry secretly summoned the order, and it would not be easy to initiate it unless it endangered the life of the master, how could it be so.
"Miss, I don't want to believe it, but what I can be sure of is that it is really a secret summoning order." Yinya choked up a little, the master is so powerful, how can there be anything? However, if it is true, what about the young lady......
Luo Qi quickly calmed down, his father is so powerful, his brother is also there, he is good at the country, it will not necessarily endanger their lives, it will be fine, yes, it should be fine.
But the idea was quickly shattered.
In the evening, Mother Luo came back from the palace, her face was so pale that it was bloodshot, she didn't hold an umbrella on the way back, and the sky was raining lightly all the time. The people outside the door were also shocked when they saw it, and Luo's mother was drenched in the rain all the way, and sure enough, she had a fever at night.
Luo Qi had been guarding his mother this night, and Luo Yuan also wanted to stay, but his body didn't allow it, so he was still rushed back to rest.
Luo's mother kept talking in her dreams during her coma, and her high fever did not go away. Luo Qi stayed awake all night and took care of his mother. When I arrived at Foxiao, I felt that my mother's high fever had subsided, so I fell asleep on the side of the bed.
Luo's mother's eyelids moved, she slowly opened her eyes, and as soon as she wanted to get up, she felt something beside her. She turned her head slightly, and saw her daughter asleep by the bed. She unconsciously reached out to touch her daughter's head, but suddenly remembered what His Majesty said, her face suddenly turned pale, her breath was short, and her chest hurt.
Luo Qi heard the sound of panting breathing and suddenly woke up. When he saw his mother's condition, he immediately sent someone to find a doctor.
"Miss, Madame's high fever has subsided, but her body is still very weak, as for the chest pain, probably, it is a heart disease."
Secret trouble? So, my mother entered the palace last night, because of that, she already knew, right?
Although Luo Qi could have guessed some yesterday, but now looking at his mother's reaction, the news in the palace will not be wrong. So, daddy and brother......
