Chapter 61 It’s not time to celebrate yet

The two people in the room pretended not to hear what Xiao Tangbao was shouting. Emperor Liang found it difficult to speak, so he simply lifted up his robe and said, "As you can see, after I was interrupted... this is what happened..."

"No, it shouldn't be like this!?" The old judge stared at Emperor Liang's engorged dragon root, his tone filled with a hint of fear.

He hurriedly took the emperor's pulse, gave him acupuncture, and prescribed medicine.

The conclusion was that the emperor was very likely to have taken an overdose of aphrodisiacs.

"I don't have any!!!"

"..." As a man, the old judge looked at the emperor with a touch of sympathy.

The emperor's health was not taken care of by him on a daily basis, and no one except the hospital envoy had read the emperor's medical records.

He could only say tactfully, "If it wasn't Your Majesty who mistakenly took some harmful medicine or food, then it must have been someone else's doing. Your Majesty's health is severely weakened, perhaps this medicine damaged his foundation."

"Your Majesty, please think carefully. Today, recently, or in the long run, has Your Majesty noticed anything unusual?"

Emperor Liang: “…” Abnormal?

If it was abnormal, he would only feel particularly happy when he was with Concubine Xiao, but every time he turned over the cards of other concubines, he would feel powerless...

Could it be Concubine Xiao?

No, no, no, she is a little arrogant on weekdays, but she is just strong on the outside but weak on the inside. How could she have the courage to plot against him?

But then again, it was indeed a bit unusual for her to keep him here tonight regardless of anything...

It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go.

Emperor Liang immediately ordered a thorough investigation of Qixiang Palace overnight.

The surroundings suddenly became noisy, and Emperor Liang fell asleep because the old judge was giving him acupuncture to detoxify him.

Xiao Tangbao sat in front of his bed for two hours. No matter how Aunt Yao persuaded her, she refused to lie down and take a nap.

There was no other way. This was the only bed in the side hall of Qixiang Palace, but she disliked Emperor Liang...

Furthermore, Sister Chuntai had told her not to sleep with any other boys except her father.

Sister Chuntai also said that Tangbao is about to grow one year older and is a big girl. When she goes back this time, she is not allowed to sleep with her father anymore, but she can stay in the room next to her father.

During this period, Eunuch Shen sneaked in twice. Seeing Tang Bao sitting on the edge of the bed, she was so sleepy that she refused to leave even when she dozed off. She was just quietly guarding the sleeping emperor. He felt soft and sad in his heart, and couldn't help shedding two tears.

How come the little princess is so sensible!

What should I do? This child is so adorable!

"Princess? Little Princess?"

"The imperial kitchen has made delicious jujube and yam cakes, crab roe pastries, and a rock sugar bird's nest soup. Would you mind serving some to me?"

Little Tangbao drooped his head and shook it, yawning repeatedly due to sleepiness. When he turned around, tears still welled up in his eyes. "Eunuch Shen, now is not the time to celebrate."

Shen Ying: “…………”

On the couch, Emperor Liang's eyelashes suddenly trembled, and Xiao Tangbao happened to catch it.

Xiao Tangbao, who noticed the clue, frowned suddenly. She raised her little hand, gritted her teeth, and slapped him on the nose.

"Ugh!" Emperor Liang cried out in pain and jumped up with a somersault.

The little fellow quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned around and shouted towards the door: "I saved the emperor, come and see! Tang Bao has done a great job in saving the emperor, Tang Bao is so awesome, I want a big reward!!"

For a moment, Emperor Liang felt that the brat did it on purpose, but he had no evidence.

Eunuch Shen swallowed hard a few times and quickly called the old judge.

After confirming that the Emperor was no longer seriously injured and looking at his bleeding nose, the old judge said with a guilty conscience:

"You know what? The little princess's sudden action actually helped His Majesty vent his anger... It's a good thing."

The old judge has been walking around in the palace for more than forty years, and has never felt so excited...

Haha, haha, he himself was also curious, when would he lose the head on his neck?

…

Upon learning that no results had been found yet, Emperor Liang decided to go out and take a look himself, but little Tangbao grabbed his sleeve and refused to let go no matter what.

"It's a matter of reciprocity. I was watching you before, now it's my turn to watch me!"

It was still dark, and the group of ugly ghosts outside were still staring at her with murderous eyes, wondering what they were planning.

Emperor Liang was furious just looking at Tang Bao, but the little guy's haggard look and the dark circles under his eyes made him unable to ignore them even if he wanted to.

He glanced at Aunt Yao at the door and let out a long breath, "Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep! I'll watch you sleep!"

Tang Bao: "..."

"You have to be patient. Tang Bao was very quiet just now. Even when Tang Bao was sleepy, he didn't lose his temper."

"..." Emperor Liang raised his head slightly, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles were a creepy bluish-white color.

He almost gritted his teeth and said, "Be patient, be patient. Go to sleep!"

Xiao Tangbao pointed at the bedding and pillows on the bed and said to the palace maid in the room, "Change them!"

Then he said to Eunuch Shen: "Tangbao is hungry and wants to eat!"

The palace maids did not dare to respond and all looked at Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang: “…?”

What does it mean to change the mattress? Do you think it's dirty?

He put one hand on his waist and the other on his forehead, and walked around two or three times in anger and annoyance when his stomach started to growl.

"Do as the little princess says and serve the meal!"

“Here!”

It was the first time for Yun Xingxu to have a meal alone with a little kid. He had never felt that a meal took so long in his life. It was also the first time he knew that a child could eat so much.

The kid wanted this, then ate that. Two hands were not enough, so I used my chin to command him to ask for this and that.

Looking at her innocent and clear eyes, she raised her chin, opened her mouth and said "Ah--" to him obediently. Emperor Liang couldn't get angry, so he could only purse his lips and do as he was told.

But you know what, having such a meal companion really made the meal go well. Emperor Liang, who usually ate very little, actually ate five pieces of cakes and a plate of meat for the first time.

You know, for that kind of sweet food, he would be lucky if he could eat half a piece with tea.

He lowered his head and picked a shrimp as Xiao Tangbao instructed. When he looked up, the kid had fallen asleep with half a noodle in his mouth.

Half of her face was resting on the table, her eyes were closed, her little mouth was slightly open, and her two little hands holding food were placed on both sides of her head. She was sleeping soundly.

Emperor Liang couldn't help but poke her face. It was soft, but still a little thin. It seemed that she had suffered a lot before.

Aunt Yao brought over some hot water. She glanced at Emperor Liang and began to wipe the little guy's hands and face.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that when you were little, you were very naughty. Every day, this old servant would catch you like a mud monkey and bring you back to Chuxiu Palace, and then I would clean you like this."

"..." Emperor Liang curled his lips slightly. Yes, climbing trees and climbing rockery, hiding and playing in the mud from time to time, those days were indeed beautiful and comfortable.

"But since when did you stop enjoying fun?"

Nanny Yao suddenly raised her eyes, her sharp eyes staring at Emperor Liang without blinking:

"Was it when you learned from others that you were not the Queen Mother's child?"

"This old servant has always wanted to know, did the Emperor decide to kill the eldest prince from that time?"
