"Be careful on the road, and return as soon as possible," Emperor Yuanwu instructed.
"Yes!" Lu Zhaofeng knelt on one knee, crossed his arms, and bowed.
Consort Shu's eyelids twitched, and she had a vague premonition of something bad.
"Be careful on the road," Consort Shu instructed with concern.
Lu Zhaofeng nodded to her, then whipped his horse and rode away.
The convoy of cars that came to see him off followed one after another behind him.
Watching Princess Chang'an leave the palace gate.
Emperor Yuanwu held Mu Qianqian in his arms and turned to walk into the palace.
Just as Consort Shu was about to catch up with Emperor Yuanwu, she turned her head and saw the Imperial Censor standing to the side, looking haggard.
He stared in the direction the bridal sedan chair had gone until the crowd disappeared into the distance before slowly coming back to his senses.
"Lord Xia, there's no need to worry too much. I will do my best to take good care of Siqi," Consort Shu said with a hint of apology. "Lord Xia, you must take good care of your health. This is more important than anything else."
"Thank you for your concern, Consort Shu." The Imperial Censor smiled bitterly and sighed silently, "If anything were to happen to Siqi, what would be the point of having this body?"
Consort Shu was helpless and didn't know how to comfort her.
She knew it in her heart.
Arsenic is a highly toxic substance.
Even the smallest dose can be fatal.
Xia Siqi fainted several times in her side hall, and the imperial physicians were helpless. Even if she could barely save her life, she feared that her future would be uncertain...
"I see that Lord Xia is not in good spirits. He should go back to his residence to rest. Siqi is with me. Please rest assured, Lord Xia, I will do my best to treat her," Consort Shu comforted him.
"Thank you for your trouble, Consort Shu." The Imperial Censor bowed deeply to Consort Shu and said, "This old minister will now take his leave."
After watching the Imperial Censor leave, Consort Shu turned and returned to the palace.
"What's wrong, Miss Xia?" Consort Shu walked straight towards the side hall.
"Greetings, Consort Shu! May Consort Shu be blessed!" Madam Xia hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Although I didn't sleep all night.
Madam Xia looked much better than before: "The imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital are highly skilled. This morning, Siqi was in much better spirits, was able to drink water, and is now asleep."
When she left last night.
Xia Siqi was clearly on the verge of death.
The imperial physician could only use medicine to keep her alive.
That night, neither medicine nor acupuncture was administered.
How did it suddenly get better?
Consort Shu couldn't help but glance at the sleeping Xia Siqi.
Her previously pale and bloodless cheeks had begun to turn slightly red.
Even her lip color, which was originally dark purple, has faded considerably.
Could it be that she was truly blessed with good fortune and that her life was not meant to end, and that she was protected by the gods to survive this ordeal?
Anyway.
It's good that I survived.
Perhaps it was because Consort Shu had been standing by the bed the whole time.
Madam Xia leaned closer: "Your Highness, is that bird with such beautiful feathers one of your pets?"
bird?
The feathers are beautiful.
Could she be referring to the one that came to the palace yesterday?
"I suppose so." Consort Shu's expression was somewhat complicated.
She said they were birds she kept.
Even Consort Shu herself felt it was somewhat far-fetched.
I've only been in her palace for half a day.
It seems like she hasn't had a chance to feed her even once.
She said it wasn't her bird.
But yesterday, she was the one who asked it to stay in the palace, and it willingly stayed and never flew away.
“Your Highness, Consort Shu.” Madam Xia’s eyes lit up. “You have truly raised a divine bird.”
"What makes you say that?" Consort Shu asked, puzzled.
Madam Xia excitedly grabbed Consort Shu's hand and knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes.
