Chapter 4 Noble Ladies

Five days later,

Main courtyard.

Zhuzhu: "Madam, won't the master suspect something?"

She heard that the Marquis had thoroughly investigated the matter, and she was afraid that the Marquis would find out that the old lady had drugged the lady.

Now that the madam is alright, but the old lady has passed away, anyone would suspect the madam.

Luo Xi flipped through the ledger and said casually, "Suspicion? So what if you suspect me?"

"He has no evidence."

Song's mother directly drugged her; it's impossible for her to endure it or forgive her.

Once it happens, it will happen again.

Even if she is Song Shiyan's mother, it won't work.

You can't blame her, after all, it was his mother who struck first.

She was simply giving him a taste of his own medicine.

She felt that she was still kind and did not make Song's mother suffer too much in her passing.

She looked at Zhuzhu, "Zhuzhu, do you think I did something wrong?"

Zhuzhu: "Madam is definitely right."

Luo Xi smiled upon hearing this.

She also felt that she had not done anything wrong.

If she hadn't noticed, she would have been the one dead. She wouldn't show mercy to someone who wanted to kill her, no matter who they were.

In the study.

Song Shiyan looked at the evidence.

So, it was his mother who had Luo Xi drugged, then... then why did it all end up like this...?

Did Luo Xi notice something?

Song Shiyan pinched the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought...

His mother was indeed at fault, but she is still his mother. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't sad or upset.

And Luo Xi, could it be her?

If so, what should he do?

On one side was his biological mother, and on the other was his wife with whom he spent every day.

night.

Song Shiyan walked into the main courtyard.

He stopped and looked at Luo Xi, who was taking a walk in the courtyard, with a complicated expression in his eyes.

Luo Xi saw the look in Song Shiyan's eyes and knew he was suspicious.

She walked up to him without the slightest guilt and asked in confusion, "Husband, why are you looking at me like that?"

She touched her face. "Is there something on my face?"

Song Shiyan shook his head. He looked at her stunning face, hesitated for a moment, moved his lips as if to say something but then stopped himself, and in the end, he didn't ask anything.

He knew that if he spoke up, it would inevitably create a rift in their relationship. He didn't want to.

Actually, there is another very direct way, which is to interrogate Luo Xi's maids. They must know something.

There are many ways to verify this.

But if not, can he and Luo Xi go back to the beginning?

The answer is definitely no.

Luo Xi looked up into his eyes. "Husband, you look so tired. Are you exhausted?"

"Yes, there have been quite a few things going on in the court lately."

Luo Xi pulled Song Shiyan inside and said with concern, "Then my husband should take more rest. I've had some chicken soup made, so please drink more."

He looked at her profile and replied, "Okay."

Luo Xi felt no guilt whatsoever about Song's mother's death. Call her malicious, heartless, or call her cold-blooded, it's just her nature.

Two weeks later.

The Imperial Palace.

In the novel "The Legend of Consort Luo," Luo Xi enters the palace to keep her company and talk to her.

The Brocade Palace.

Consort Luo held Luo Xi's hand, "Xi'er, how have you been lately?"

Luo Xi: "Sister, it's still the same."

She looked around but didn't see the little cutie. "Oh right, where's Qi Rui? I bought him some little trinkets."

"Him? He went to the training ground to learn archery."

Luo Xi exclaimed, "Qi Rui is only five years old, and he's already practicing archery?"

Consort Luo: "Yes, it only started recently."

Luo Xi pointed to the large and small bags on the table next to her, "Hey, these are little trinkets I bought for him from outside the palace. Sister, please give them to him for me."

“Okay, I have a few nice silk sets here that would suit you well. Take them with you when you go back later.”

As she spoke, she instructed her maid to bring out the bolts of silk.

Luo Xi: "Okay! Thank you, sister."

Consort Luo pointed to a piece of silk and smiled gently, "This light green and red both suit you very well."

Luo Xi nodded; she did indeed like light green and red.

Just then, a eunuch called out, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Luo Xi: !!!

They looked towards the doorway and saw a bright yellow figure walk in.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Qi Chen spotted Luo Xi at a glance; she was simply too beautiful.

His eyes flickered slightly as he walked up to them and said gently, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Luo Xi paused for a moment, feeling that she seemed a little out of place at this time.

So she took her leave, saying, "Your Majesty, I will not disturb you and my sister any longer."

Qi Chen: ...........

He had heard that she had entered the palace, so he came specifically to find her.

He just arrived, and she's already leaving?

Consort Luo saw the Emperor's gaze, and she was startled!

The Emperor has hardly visited the inner palace in the past two years, and even when he does, he has not summoned anyone to his bedchamber.

Actually, she suspected that the emperor had a health problem.

The way the Emperor looks at Xi'er now, could it be? He's taken a liking to her?

She turned her head to look at Luo Xi's incomparably beautiful face.

Xi'er's beauty is indeed unmatched.

Her thinking wasn't without reason.

Because the emperor would almost always come over whenever Luo Xi entered the palace.

Hopefully, she's just overthinking it!

Let's try to send Xi'er to the palace less often in the future.
