Chapter 23: Grounding
()
"Mother, mother!"
The spirit kite hurriedly ran into the Phoenix Butterfly Palace and almost bumped into the noble concubine Lu Die. The kite knelt directly on the ground and begged for mercy,
"Mother's atonement!"
"What kind of system is so panicked!"
The kite replied directly,
"Niangniang, the emperor has returned to the palace!"
Lu Die's face was shocked, and he hurriedly asked,
"The emperor is back? Where is it? ”
The spirit kite suddenly spoke a little slurred,
"In ...... In the ......"
"Where, you should hurry up!" Lu Die urged impatiently.
"In the Chu Sui Palace!"
"Chu Sui Palace, hurry, go to the root palace together!"
Lu Die had just taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped. Somewhat strangely turned to look at the kite.
"Where did you say?"
"Niangniang, the spirit kite is talking about the Chu Sui Palace!"
"Chu Sui Palace is where those old palace ladies in the palace live, how could the emperor go there?"
The spirit kite said with some hesitation,
"This, this slave is not very clear, I only know that the emperor is holding a baby when he comes back!"
"Baby?"
Lu Die thought for a while, and suddenly woke up,
"It turned out that it was true, it turned out that the emperor really went to look for her! If so, then that baby must be her child! ”
Lu Die didn't stop any longer, and chased directly towards the Chu Sui Palace.
Xue Zheng returned to the palace and immediately took the child to the Chu Sui Palace. Because babies need to be well cared for at the moment. After all, the child has just reached the full moon, and this is the time to take care of it. Xue Zheng couldn't bear to see the child separated from her mother, but he had to do it in order to save the child. There is another reason, that is, he hopes that Qingquan can return to his side for the sake of the child. Even though it was cruel to Qingquan to do so, the purpose of the snow sign was to get Qingquan back. As long as Qingquan returns to him, Xue Zheng has no desires.
I found an experienced old palace maid and put the child in her arms. Xue Zheng told the old palace maid thousands of instructions and said,
"From today on, you are the maid of this child, immediately move to the Flower Shadow Palace, take care of her for the emperor, if she hurts a hair, your ten heads are not enough for the emperor to cut off!"
The old palace maid knelt on the ground and held the child, and responded in a trembling panic,
"Yes, yes, the old slave obeys!"
Looking at that cute little face, Xue Zheng sighed with a hint of sadness,
"If only this were the emperor's daughter!"
After staying for a moment, Xue Zheng got up and returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace. But as soon as he walked halfway, he met the imperial concubine Lu Die, who came in a hurry.
"The concubine sees the emperor!"
Lu Die was very happy when he saw Xue Zheng, but he should be worried about what the spirit kite said just now.
Xue Zheng didn't stop, just glanced at Lu Die hurriedly, and said impatiently,
"The emperor still has a lot of things to deal with, you go back to your own bedroom."
As he spoke, Xue Zheng swept past Lu Die's side without looking back.
"Your Majesty, wait! The concubine has something to say to you! ”
Lu Die suddenly stopped in front of Xue Zheng, kneeling on the ground and bowing his head.
Xue Zheng frowned tightly and said in a dull tone,
"Say whatever you want!"
Seeing that Xue Zheng did not object, Lu Die was overjoyed and hurriedly said,
"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to ask you, ...... that child"
"Shut up!"
Before Lu Die finished speaking, Xue Zheng suddenly shouted angrily, interrupting Lu Die's continued words.
"You listen to the emperor, that kid has nothing to do with you! Stay in your Phoenix Butterfly Palace honestly, you don't have to worry about these things. ”
Lu Die looked at Xue Zheng in front of him in a daze, he didn't say anything at all, but he was so rejected and angry by Xue Zheng.
Looking at the snow sign in the distance, Lu Die was suddenly extremely aggrieved, and he didn't know where he got the courage, and shouted at the back of the snow sign,
"Is she that good? Let you do it for her to this point? Don't you understand that the child is not yours? ”
Xue Zheng suddenly stopped, turned his back to Lu Die, and ordered to the maid behind him with a cold face,
"The imperial concubine bewitched the public and disrupted the harem, from now on, she is not allowed to take half a step out of the Phoenix Butterfly Palace for thirty days, and if she disobeys, she will go directly into the dungeon!"
After speaking, Xue Zheng threw up his sleeves and left.
Lu Die's body shook and sat on the bluestone path, with a sneer on his face,
"Hehehehe, gossip to confuse the public? Disturb the harem? Your Majesty, you actually said such a thing against your will. Is the concubine so unbearable in your heart? ”
"!"
The spirit kite wanted to step forward to help Lu Die, but was pushed away by Lu Die.
"This palace wants to be quiet, you all leave!"
"!"
The kite was about to say something, but was interrupted by two other guards.
"Niangniang, you heard the emperor's words just now, please don't embarrass your subordinates!"
Lu Die slowly stood up and said coldly,
"Don't worry, this palace won't make it difficult for you. Hongu just wanted to go to a place before that. After that, he will return to the Phoenix Butterfly Palace, and he will not take another step in the Phoenix Butterfly Palace within thirty days. ”
The two guards looked a little embarrassed, but they didn't dare to stop it. can only follow closely behind Lu Die.
Lu Die didn't go anywhere else, but came to the Flower Shadow Palace.
"Niangniang, you won't be ......" When Ling Kite saw Lu Die come to the Flower Shadow Palace, she understood what her master wanted to do.
"Don't worry, Hongu knows what he's doing!"
With that, Lu Die entered the Flower Shadow Palace.
At this moment, in the Flower Shadow Palace, an old palace maid is holding a baby and feeding her by the bedside! Seeing Lu Die coming in, he hurriedly put down the child and knelt down and bowed,
"The old slave sees the concubine."
"You get up, Hongu just wants to see the child!"
Lu Die walked to the side of the bed, and saw that the baby in swaddling clothes was opening a pair of big eyes, with a pink smile on his immature little face, and when he saw himself, he opened his arms and grabbed him.
"It's so cute!"
Lu Die reached out and picked up the baby. A loving and sincere smile bloomed on his face.
"Spirit kite, look at this kid so cute!"
The spirit kite also came to look at it and said,
"yes, it's really cute! Niangniang, look at her eyes, like a night pearl in the night, so transparent! Seeing such a cute and penetrating child, the spirit kite couldn't help but praise it.
When the two of them were only concerned about the children, they didn't know that the emperor Xue Zheng had already followed them.
"Imperial ......"
The guards outside the door saw Xue Zheng and were about to kneel but were stopped by Xue Zheng. He waved his hand at them and told them to stand back, and he stood quietly outside the door, watching the situation inside.
Lu Die's every move was watched by Xue Zheng. Xue Zheng knew in his heart that he was indeed a little too much just now, and he wanted to go to the Phoenix Butterfly Palace to have a look, but he saw Lu Die come to the Flower Shadow Palace. thought that Lu Die was going to do something bad to the child, but he didn't want to see the scene in front of him.
"The truth of your long life, your mother! If you were my daughter and the emperor's daughter, how good it would be! Lu Die's smile was so sincere, but it was filled with endless loss.
"Emperor, Emperor?"
Xue Zheng suddenly appeared silently in front of Lu Die's eyes. This made Lu Die very surprised, and hurriedly put down the child and knelt on the ground.
The kite ran forward, knelt down in front of Xue Zheng, and pleaded for his master.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang has no malicious intentions, Niangniang just wants to see the child. Please don't blame the emperor! ”
Everyone waited quietly for Xue Zheng's fury. But he heard Xue Zheng say,
"From now on, this child will be taken care of by you, Guifei!"
Leaving only this sentence, Xue Zheng turned around and left, leaving Lu Die kneeling there with a shocked face.
