Chapter 1 Yanxi Palace
Yanxi Palace
"What you said is true?" Concubine Xian turned around and looked at the eunuch in front of her in surprise.
The little eunuch nodded, and said firmly, "The imperial concubine came out of the palace from Xihua Gate and has not returned yet." β
"She went out alone?"
"Yes."
Concubine Xian was happy at first, and then quickly calmed down. Tang Feng is not such a careless and reckless person, she left the palace in the middle of the night, if she reported to His Majesty and let her have a hundred mouths that she couldn't explain, why did she do this?
"Zhiju, if you go to Chengqian Palace in person, you must find out." Concubine Xian didn't worry about others, so she turned her head and ordered her personal palace maid.
"Yes, slave and maid will go."
Concubine Xian sat on the couch, puzzled. What is Tang Feng going to do, is it really that she has a lover outside the palace?
A quarter of an hour later, Zhiju returned.
"Niangniang, there is nothing unusual in Chengqian Palace, and nothing can be found out." Zhiju came back to report.
This is worth pondering.
If Zhiju saw something abnormal, Concubine Xian would be more relieved, because Tang Feng's scheming must have set some trap for people to jump. There is nothing abnormal in the Kecheng Qiangong...... This made Concubine Xian feel that the possibility of Tang Feng leaving the palace was higher.
Concubine Xian stood up, her face was a little serious, and she said, "Let's go, let's go to Chengqian Palace." β
Zhiju reminded, "Niangniang, it's useless for us to go." "The people of Chengqian Palace only listen to the words of the emperor and the imperial concubine, even if they go, the people of Chengqian Palace will not let them find anything.
Concubine Xian used her brain a little and thought of a good idea.
"If you find someone to pretend to be a eunuch from the Chengqian Palace to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, you will say that the imperial concubine is bedridden due to a sudden illness."
Zhiju's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth rose, "Niangniang has a good plan, and the slave understands." β
Your Majesty went, will the people of Chengqian Palace still stop you from entering? At that time, Tang Feng was not in the dormitory, and if she continued to investigate, she naturally knew that she was out of the palace at night.
The concubine left the palace without permission, she wanted to see if Tang Feng could retreat in front of His Majesty this time.
Nourishing the Heart Palace, Emperor Wei has been troubled by the war recently, and he will not go to bed until the early hours of the morning every day, and the same is true tonight.
"Xu Zhong, change two brighter lights." Wei Di sat down at the desk and said without raising his head.
Xu Zhong just came in from outside the palace, hurriedly commanded the little eunuch next to him to change the lamp, walked to a position a little closer to the desk, and said, "Your Majesty, the people from the Chengqian Palace just came and said that the imperial concubine Niangniang had a sudden illness and was now bedridden. β
Wei Di looked up in surprise, "How can you suddenly get sick?" Did you pass on the Imperial Doctor? β
"Not yet."
"Hurry up and pass the Imperial Doctor, and I will go too." Emperor Wei put down the red pen in his hand and hurriedly walked out.
In the dormitory of Chengqian Palace, the lotus root paced back and forth on the empty bed, looking at the sky outside from time to time, and was very anxious.
"Why hasn't Niangniang come back, the palace gate will be under the key later." The lotus root muttered anxiously as she walked.
Little Gold slept against a pillar beside him and let out a small snoring sound.
The lotus root glared at him and said, "Guy with no conscience! β
The lotus root was walking around the house, and suddenly, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and the lotus root looked back, thinking that the master had returned.
"Sister Lotus Root, what should I do, Your Majesty is coming towards our palace!" The palace maid Lotus said with a flustered expression.
The lotus root's face suddenly turned pale, and Xiao Jinzi, who was napping on the side, also woke up, poked the brim of his hat, and asked, "Hasn't Your Majesty been resting in the Heart Cultivation Hall recently, why did you come to our palace?" β
"I don't know! What to do? Your Majesty is coming soon, and we can't hide it. "Lotus is in a hurry.
The lotus root gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, pointed at the lotus flower and said, "You, hurry up and change into your mother's clothes and lie down on the bed, I will go outside to guard, and try not to let Your Majesty come in!" β
"Ahh
"Little gold, you look at her, I'll go outside first."
The door to the dormitory was closed again, and the lotus root stood in the doorway and kept taking a deep breath, but even after inhaling more, she found that she was still shaking.
"Fight for something." She thumped her trembling leg in exasperation, trying to calm her mind.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
The lotus root closed her eyes and looked at death as if she were home. She can't disgrace her master, she has to do her best to persuade His Majesty to go back, no matter what......
Seeing the bright yellow figure getting closer and closer, the lotus root could clearly hear the sound of her heart beating in her chest.
Puff - Puff -
"Slaves and maids see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an."
Wei Di ignored her and walked straight inside.
"Your Majesty, please stay, Niangniang is unwell today and doesn't want to see anyone." The lotus root plucked up and said.
Wei Di turned his head to look at her, "I knew she was not well, so I came to see her." β
Lotus Root frowned, slightly puzzled by Emperor Wei's words. But at this time, it was not the time to distinguish, she said, "Please forgive your majesty, Niangniang said that she doesn't want to see anyone." β
Emperor Wei was shocked and confused, and asked, "Am I here and gone?" β
The lotus root bit her lip, "Please forgive your majesty." β
Wei Di glanced inside, it was pitch black, and he seemed to have fallen asleep. But the person who came to the Heart Cultivation Palace to report the news also said that the imperial concubine couldn't get up due to a sudden illness, what was going on?
The lotus root lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the emperor's face, she couldn't even hear her own heartbeat.
When Wei Di was thinking about advancing and retreating, the imperial doctor arrived. Lotus Root's doubts were aggravated, and she even guessed that someone knew that the master had left the palace to mislead His Majesty to arrest him. Thinking about it like this, she was even more shocked.
"Your Majesty."
"You came just in time, the imperial concubine doesn't want others to go in and disturb you, you go in and see what's going on."
The imperial doctor is here, and the lotus root is ready to stop it again, but will it be more suspicious to stop the imperial doctor from entering? She felt an inquiring gaze fall on her, and her whole body tensed, and she knew that His Majesty might have become suspicious.
The lotus root didn't dare to make a sound, she had to put the little gold in it to buy the imperial doctor and firmly cover the fact that the mother was not in the palace.
Seeing that the lotus root didn't stop him again, Emperor Wei glanced at the imperial doctor and said, "Go in, take a good look at the imperial concubine." β
"Yes, I obey." The Imperial Physician stepped forward and raised his hand to push the doorβ
Surprisingly, the door opened from the inside.
Lotus Root looked up in astonishment, and saw that the person who opened the door was the imperial concubine, who was standing at the door in a light purple nightdress, looking at the imperial doctor coldly.
The lotus root went soft and quietly sat aside. Scared to death, scared to death......
Wei Di looked at her in surprise and said, "It's not that you can't get out of bed?" What's going on? β
Tang Feng saluted Emperor Wei first, and was helped up by him, she glanced at the people at the door, and said, "The concubine is just depressed and unwilling to see people, where can't she get out of bed?" β
Emperor Wei turned his head to look at Xu Zhong, Xu Zhong immediately stood up, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the person who came to the Heart Cultivation Palace to report the news did say that the imperial concubine had a sudden illness and couldn't get out of bed." Slaves don't dare to miscommunicate! β
Tang Feng asked suspiciously, "Which eunuch, but a person from the Chengqian Palace?" β
Xu Zhong thought about it carefully, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. The little eunuch was a fresh face, and he had never seen it in the Chengqian Palace.
Seeing this, Tang Feng fully understood, she sneered and said, "Father-in-law Xu, this palace will not hold you accountable for your negligence, you just need to find out this eunuch to this palace tonight, and we will write it off." β
Xu Zhong glanced up at Emperor Wei, and at this time, Emperor Wei also came to his senses, and said with a cold face, "Don't hurry up yet!" β
"Yes, the minion is going!" Xu Zhong left in a hurry.
Tang Feng glanced at Emperor Wei and pulled him into the dormitory. The lotus root also came back to her senses, and quickly got up and followed in to serve.
There was a small box on the bed in the dormitory, and next to it was a small belly pocket, which was used by the baby.
Tang Feng picked up the little belly pocket and handed it to Emperor Wei, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you remember what day it is?" β
Emperor Wei saw that everything was understood in this belly pocket, his mood sank a little, and his voice was not as high-pitched as usual, "Is our emperor leaving today......"
Tang Feng took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to hug his waist, put his head against his chest, and said in a low voice, "The concubine doesn't want others to see the concubine like this...... It's been so long, no matter how sad you are, others will only say that the concubine is hypocritical. β
