46. Sick
"Back to the emperor, the queen is calling her mother." Because of Qi Yan's ruthlessness, Mo Xiang's impression of him was extremely poor, and she couldn't imagine that a person who began to love the queen so much could become so ruthless in just ten days.
Qi Yan felt extremely distressed, he just went to Chaoyun Hall to take a few looks, and was pestered by Concubine Rong again and again, but in two quarters of an hour, he hurried over, and he had already seen Shen Qinghuan lying wet and feverish in the Chenghuan Palace.
He asked why no one had reported it, and the hall was so dead that no one dared to answer. In the end, only Mo Xiang said with tears in her eyes: "Sister Qin'er went to Chaoyun Hall to find the emperor, but was stopped by Concubine Rong's palace maid. The queen is stubborn, no matter who advises her, she will not listen. Mo Xiang remembered that his eyes were red at that time, and he looked as if he was about to tear down the entire roof. She felt that the emperor's heart was really hard to guess.
"The queen is looking for me, what is the matter?" Qi Yan took a deep breath and asked.
Mo Xiang replied tremblingly: "The queen heard that General Zhenguo suddenly died of a vicious disease, and wanted to ask the emperor for permission to let her go out of the palace and go home to visit her mother. ”
Qi Yan sighed, he had already thought that it was for this matter.
At this moment, he only felt a little remorseful, why couldn't he go out first, just listen to her. But after thinking about it, he had completely quarreled with her last night, and they were just a famous husband and wife from now on.
It's okay like this, maybe she can really break off her feelings for herself, and if she does, she doesn't have to be sad anymore.
"When the queen recovers, you tell her that I agree that she will return to the Prime Minister's Mansion for two days." Qi Yan stood up and said, "Take good care of the queen, if something like this happens again, you don't have to live!" ”
The people in the hall knelt on the ground, buried their heads in fear, and said, "Yes." ”
Qi Yan turned his head and glanced at Shen Qinghuan, who was still lying on the bed, frowning, and pale, and remembered that night, he was sick, and she stayed by his side all night to take care of him. Maybe it was from that moment that he really started to be moved by her, right?
Qi Yan paused, didn't say anything after all, turned around and left.
Mo Xiang hurriedly got up, with tears in her eyes, and changed the handkerchief on Shen Qinghuan's forehead. While babbling, he said: "They all say that the palace is good, but the palace is not good at all." Even a beauty like the queen mother can't get the emperor's favor. The emperor's heart is really the hardest thing in the world to guess..."
She walked to the door to change the water, and a guard approached her, and as he passed by her, he inadvertently slipped a note into her sleeve.
Mo Xiang was startled, and her hand holding the basin was a little unsteady, but she quickly calmed down and continued to walk forward.
At night, Mo Xiang clutched the note in her hand and came to a hidden corner of the palace, where a figure was already waiting.
She walked over quickly and said, "Xu He, it's inconvenient to talk here, how can you take such a risk to come to the palace?" ”
"The crown prince has already lived in the palace today." Xu He said.
"How?"
"That Concubine Rong is a tribute from Zhaoling, Qi Yan held a banquet in the palace to thank His Royal Highness the Prince, and it will be held the day after tomorrow."
Mo Xiang was silent.
"Moxiang?"
Mo Xiang said indignantly: "Qi Yan is really not a good thing! ”
Xu He narrowed his eyes and said, "You also have true feelings for that queen mother?" ”
Mo Xiang raised her head and said, "Also?" ”
"It seems that she does have a lot of charm. It's just Moxiang, you do things for us, you can't bring other feelings. Have you forgotten, if it weren't for the totemic mistake you gave us, we wouldn't have fallen short. Xu He said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not blame you, it is the greatest forgiveness for you, you must do things well for His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Mo Xiang wrung the handkerchief in her hand, lowered her head and whispered, "Then what do you want me to do?" ”
"Let me ask you, does Qi Yan like that queen?"
Mo Xiang looked up at him, frowned, and said, "Maybe it's some, he started to dot on Shen Qinghuan very much, but since Concubine Rong came, he has been lukewarm to her." But after I saw that Shen Qinghuan was sick, there was worry in his eyes that couldn't be hidden. So, I don't know. ”
"What you have to do is very simple, stop Shen Qinghuan from having feelings for him."
"Why?" The ink fragrance is puzzled.
"If Shen Qinghuan knew that Qi Yan liked her and the two of them had feelings for each other, what should Concubine Rong do? Concubine Rong is our person, of course, she needs to be honored and favored to be beneficial to us. Xu He paused and continued, "Moreover, after the matter is completed, Shen Qinghuan is the person His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants. ”
Mo Xiang suddenly understood what the word "also" that Xu He said meant, and she said, "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes her?" ”
