Chapter 5 Noble Ladies of a Prestigious Family

Qi Chen looked at Luo Xi and asked gently, "Didn't you just enter the palace? Did I interrupt your conversation?"

In the past, when Qi Rui was still alive, Luo Xi wouldn't leave the palace too early. Sometimes when he came, Luo Xi would play with Qi Rui.

Luo Xi: ..........

What was she supposed to say?

Qi Rui isn't here. The Emperor came to see her sister. If she doesn't leave, is she supposed to stay and be just a "background character"?

Moreover, she was very clever; she felt that the Emperor must treat her differently.

Every time she entered the palace, he would happen to be there too.

This is probably not a coincidence; he must have done it on purpose.

He's my sister's husband, what does it mean that he likes her? What a scumbag.

Therefore, she usually only went to the palace once in a long while.

Consort Luo smiled and continued, "Your Majesty, you haven't visited me in a long time. Xi'er must have noticed, so..."

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

Qi Chen clenched his left hand slightly.

He actually wanted Luo Xi to stay.

However, the Imperial Concubine has already said so.

So he nodded.

Then, Luo Xi left the palace with the silk that Consort Luo had given her...

Qi Chen spoke with Consort Luo for a while.

Half an hour later,

Qi Chen then returned to Xuanhua Palace.

Three days later

"Where is the Marquis?"

He hasn't come to the main courtyard these past few days, sleeping in his study every day. She went to look for him, but he was nowhere to be found.

What's wrong? Is he planning to never see her again?

Zhuzhu: "Madam, the Marquis went to Nanshan Temple today."

Luo Xi murmured, "Nanshan Temple?"

This place looks so familiar! Is he going there to reminisce about his long-dead lover?

Nanshan Temple.

Song Shiyan was very conflicted. In the end, he went to Nanshan Temple and drew a fortune stick.

[All my doubts and thoughts are about the people right before my eyes.]

This is undoubtedly the worst possible outcome.

He went to the fortune teller to have his fortune told.

The host said, "My lord, this is the worst possible divination. Everything you are thinking about is done by the person you suspect."

"You have deep feelings for this person, and I'm afraid it will be hard for you to let her go."

Song Dynasty Inkstone: !!!

Is that really the case?

Host: "Your relationship with her is doomed from the start; you shouldn't be together."

“If you continue to stay with her, then everyone around you will be killed by her one by one, and you... probably won’t be an exception.”

Song Dynasty Inkstone:............

Won't he be an exception?

The Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Advisor's expression was solemn. He held a birth chart in his hand. "Your Majesty," he said, "this person's birth chart is incompatible with yours."

Qi Chen: "Really?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this person's fate has changed in the later stages. If you stay with her, it will affect your lifespan, and in the end, Your Majesty may even be killed by her..."

The Imperial Advisor spoke very directly because he was afraid that the Emperor might actually be considering taking this person into the palace.

Qi Chen: "I understand."

At noon,

Inside Xuanhua Hall.

Qi Chen looked at Qi Rui, who resembled him.

If he lets Luo Xi into the palace, she will kill him.

He looked at Qi Rui, who was sometimes quirky and sometimes well-behaved and steady. Was she going to support him?

He smiled as he thought about it.

Qi Rui asked in confusion, "Father, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to test your studies and see if you've been slacking off lately."

Qi Rui: !!!

His mood instantly soured.

He asked, "Why did my father suddenly decide to have lunch at Xuanhua Hall?"

The Marquis's Residence.

"Madam, the Marquis has brought a woman back from the brothel."

Luo Xi: !!!

"A courtesan?"

“Excellent, Song Shiyan!”

Luo Xi said coldly, her face grim.

study.

Luo Xi looked around but didn't see anyone. "Husband, where is the younger sister you brought back?"

Upon hearing this, Song Shiyan froze.

"Her? I sent her back."

"Oh? I see."

Luo Xi saw Song Shiyan staring at the bowl of soup but not making a move. She smiled gently and asked softly, "Husband, is this soup not to your liking? Why don't you drink it?"

Song Shiyan stared intently at Luo Xi, trying to find a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

But no, she really wanted him to drink it.

He looked down at the bowl of delicious-looking chicken soup on the table.

It's a pity that even though Tang was beautiful, she was drugged.

He clapped his hands, and then two imperial physicians walked in. "My lord, my lady."

Song Shiyan pointed to the bowl of soup and asked, "Look what's in this bowl of soup?"

Luo Xi: !!!

She was too hasty.

He was clearly testing her this time.

Half an hour later,

The imperial physician exclaimed in shock, "My lord, this soup contains a drug that will prevent men from having children. The dosage is too high; if a man drinks it, he will immediately become impotent."
