Chapter 379 Cannon Fodder Substitute & Cold Tyrant 22
The imperial doctor came over and found that Lin Xiruo was suffering from severe cold. He could only put more charcoal fire in the house and grab some medicine until her fever subsided. After all, His Majesty has been here recently. I dote on this one very much.
Xiao Yuan didn’t know about this until Gao Peng reported it after he was busy with government affairs.
He stared at the memorial in his hand for a long time without saying anything.
Manager Gao was a little uneasy. His Majesty did not go to Cuiwei Palace for some reason in the past two days. Of course, the court was really busy these two days, but he always felt that something was wrong. Could it be that Concubine Yi had fallen out of favor?
At this time, Xiao Yuan stood up: "Go to Cuiwei Palace."
His face flashed with joy, and he went to arrange the sedan chair neatly.
After a while, the emperor's sedan chair arrived at Cuiwei Palace and was greeted by everyone. Xiao Yuan entered the room and saw Concubine Yi lying on the bed with her eyes closed. He couldn't help but glance around. The bed curtains and screens were changed. Yes, the incense in the house was light and elegant, but it was not a smell he was familiar with.
He walked to the bed and stared condescendingly at the face on the bed, still with exquisite makeup and bright lips.
He glanced at the palace maid not far away. Lu Rong lowered her head and shivered. In order to prevent His Majesty from finding out, she could only dress up Lin Xiruo again, hoping that His Majesty would not notice.
Xiao Yuan had already withdrew his gaze and sat down on the chair next to him, staring straight at that face.
Lu Rong and others couldn't help but breathe shallowly. They couldn't guess what His Majesty was doing, and they felt a little uneasy. However, Manager Gao motioned for everyone to go out. They could only go out because they had some thoughts in their minds. It was a mess, and after about half an hour, His Majesty came out and asked them what was going on.
A few people immediately told everything about the Imperial Garden.
"Well, I will handle this matter. You take good care of Concubine Yi." She stood up and left.
They sent the person away and immediately entered the room in a panic, guessing that His Majesty would not notice it. Lu Rong also felt that although they concealed a lot of things from Lin Xiruo, in fact, the relationship between the Third Miss and His Majesty was They really don't know much about it.
I only know that maybe His Majesty does treat the third lady better than other concubines.
After discussion at this time, she felt that since His Majesty came to visit the young lady, there should be no suspicion. However, Lu Rong felt that something was not right. She remembered His Majesty staring at Lin Xiruo's face. She looked over and the young lady turned It’s hard to see the make-up and the third lady if you’re not careful. You shouldn’t have noticed...
Suddenly a light flashed in my mind and I took a breath of cold air.
Lu Qi looked at her: "What's wrong, Lu Rong?"
Lu Rong's face turned pale, she remained calm and shook her head: "It's okay." But the hand hanging by her side began to shake. , she knew something was wrong. The two times His Majesty came to Cuiwei Palace, he did not hug Lin Xiruo at all!
After Lin Xiruo played the piano that day, His Majesty probably wanted to hug him, but for some reason he suddenly stopped and left quickly.
Today, I looked carefully at Lin Xiruo's face.
Her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, fearing that Lu Qi and others would notice, so she said: "You guys are here to serve me, I'm going to see if the medicine is ready." She quickly left, returned to the room, and carried on her back He leaned against the door and slid down, his face pale.
Not long after, the emperor's reward came to Cuiwei Palace, including ginseng and other good things.
Lu Qi Lu Zhu, who was a little worried at first, breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that His Majesty had no suspicion, but Lu Rong beside her was in a different state of mind.
At this time, in the emperor's palace, the senior manager was waiting for the emperor to take off his clothes: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the empress is in good health and is being cared for by the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital. There will be no root cause of the disease." He added, "I have found out that what happened to the empress today is It was Concubine Hui who was in conflict, somehow , her beaded rope caught the gem on the empress’s hand, and then it broke. The empress stepped on it and fell into the lake.”
But he felt that the matter was not that simple, and it seemed that Zhang Zhaoyi was also the one who found out. Being together with Concubine Hui often means she is probably indispensable for scheming.
It’s just baseless and it’s really hard to convict. Xiao Yuan said casually: "Concubine Hui was removed from the concubine position and demoted to a nobleman, Zhang Zhaoyi was demoted to the fourth-grade concubine, and the others were demoted to the second-grade concubine."
Manager Gao took a deep breath , Concubine Hui was demoted the most Cruel, but your majesty should be giving the prime minister and other ministers a warning. He follows your majesty to court every day. He still knows this. It is clear that the evidence of the prime minister's corruption is conclusive, but the other ministers keep interceding for him.
Even students preparing for the scientific examination next year also got involved, saying that the Prime Minister should not be killed because of his kindness.
Put the evidence in front of you and say it's a frame-up.
This is obviously someone behind deliberately causing trouble. It is not an exaggeration for Your Majesty to kill a chicken and respect a monkey. Look, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and His Majesty are of the same mind, and His Majesty only demoted his daughter by one rank.
I thought that His Majesty treated Yi Fei the most differently. Just when I was about to raise my head and ask a few more questions, I saw His Majesty frowning and his eyes full of irritation, and I was suddenly startled.
Xiao Yuan pushed him away: "What kind of incense was in this room? It's gone!"
Seeing His Majesty striding to the bathhouse at the back, General Manager Gao quickly waved to a few young eunuchs, who quickly put out the incense, but there was doubt in his mind. Didn't His Majesty ask him to ask Concubine Yi what kind of incense did she smoke? When you came back, did your Majesty let you order it? But now...
Lin Xiruo didn't wake up until midnight. When she saw the tent in front of her, she waited for a long time before remembering what happened today, and immediately cursed: "Damn Concubine Hui, how dare you plot against me!"
< br>She didn't even plot against her, she dared to deal with her first! A pretty face turned dark.
Not only did I have a headache, but my waist hurt too much. When I opened it, I saw a bruise on the side of my waist, which made me even more angry. Fortunately, Lu Qi and others had already applied medicine.
At this time, he hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be angry, my Majesty. Your Majesty has already vented his anger on you. He removed Concubine Hui from the concubine position, and Zhang Zhaoyi also became Concubine Zhang. Please calm down."
Lin Xiruo was stunned and stared at them: "Really? The emperor has such good intentions?"
Suddenly, thinking of Concubine Hui and Zhang Zhaoyi's words, she frowned and stared at them: "Honestly, can you Does the emperor really favor Lin Zhi?" But he didn't believe it in his heart. Who would fall in love with that timid concubine?
At this time, there were only Lu Qi and Lu Zhu in the palace. Lu Qi thought for a while and said, "I don't know the specific situation, but it is true that His Majesty only comes to Cuiwei Palace. The whole palace also said that His Majesty favors the third lady. "However," Ji Ji said, "I think your majesty is attracted to your empress, so he treats you differently."
Looking at her, he said, "Your Majesty, your country is beautiful and fragrant, and your piano skills are superb. Wasn't it because your Majesty was attracted by you that you entered Cuiwei Palace?"
"Your Majesty not only punished them, but also punished them. He gave the empress many gifts, including century-old ginseng, but your majesty has never treated the third lady like this!”
Luzhu looked at her in disbelief.
Lin Xiruo was a little surprised, then turned away in disgust: "I don't look down on a cruel person like him. What I love is a humble gentleman like Prince Rui. Don't say such words to slander me." "Ear, that's it. Go out and don't bother me here."
The two of them respectfully stepped back and closed the door. Lu Zhen immediately asked Lu Qi: "What do you mean by those words? It is clear that His Majesty cares about the Third Miss!"
Lu Qi was funny: "I was just afraid that the Miss would be suspicious, so I said that on purpose to prevent her from becoming suspicious of the Third Miss. Do you think Where did he go? "
Lu Zhu was dubious, but Lu Qi's explanation seemed to be correct, so he stopped asking.
Lu Qi walked behind her and looked back at the bedroom. The third young lady was right. She indeed had no relatives in Shangshu Mansion. However, the third young lady did not know that she had always loved the son of the housekeeper. She would only follow the third young lady in her life. If she can be an old girl in the palace, if the eldest lady is willing to take her out of the palace for the sake of her sincerity...
