Wu Fang glanced at Rumei, then looked towards the bedroom, but the doors and windows of the bedroom were closed and he could not see anything.
Wu Fang thought about it and decided that since he was only here to report that he had successfully brought several people from Shuizhou and Yuzhou to Nangong, it was not a big deal, so he left.
Third, the Emperor of Shuizhou wanted to meet Ji Xingzhi. Wu Fang came to ask Ji Xingzhi's opinion, but Rumei told him that the Emperor would not meet anyone.
Therefore, this side was naturally not seen.
Fourth, Princess Yuzhou and her husband wanted to go for a stroll in the imperial capital and did not allow anyone from the palace to follow them. Wu Fang felt that this was inappropriate and came to ask Ji Xingzhi's opinion, but just like the previous two days, Ji Xingzhi still refused to see anyone.
Wu Fang had no choice but to take the initiative to send people to secretly follow the Prince of Yuzhou and his wife.
Fifth, Wu Fang did not go to Shaohua Palace to see Ji Xingzhi. Instead, because he had not eaten anything in the morning and felt a little hungry, he ran to the imperial kitchen to find something to eat. He happened to meet several old maids in charge of meals in the imperial kitchen who were gathered together and gossiping, and he vaguely heard the word "Emperor".
Wu Fang became suspicious and quietly approached the old women, listening attentively.
Then an old maid said, "Why did the emperor return all the meals we prepared these days unopened?"
Another old maid said thoughtfully, "I heard that the emperor caught a cold, so his appetite may be poor."
"But we are making some light dishes. Even if the emperor has no appetite, he won't even touch his chopsticks?" the old woman retorted.
Hearing this, Wu Fang's expression changed slightly. The emperor was in good health and was just using illness as an excuse to avoid seeing people. Others didn't know, but he knew. Why would he have a poor appetite? Could something have happened?
Thinking of this, Wu Fang even forgot the purpose of coming to the imperial kitchen in the first place. After teaching the old maids a lesson not to talk about the emperor, he immediately left and strode towards Shaohua Palace.
As expected, Wu Fang was stopped by Rumei outside the bedroom of Xingzhi, the concubine of Shaohua Palace.
"Sir Wu, the emperor has ordered not to see anyone." Rumei stood straight at the door of the bedroom and said.
Wu Fang didn't even glance at Rumei. He pushed her away and said, "I must see you today!"
Rumei was pushed aside by Wu Fang and almost fell, but fortunately she was supported by a palace maid guarding the door.
Seeing Wu Fang about to push the door open, Rumei hurriedly shouted, "Master Wu, are you going to disobey my order?!"
Wu Fang's hand, which was pushing the door, paused slightly. He glanced at Ru Mei coldly and said, "I will bear all the consequences."
As soon as Wu Fang finished speaking, Ji Xingzhi's voice, which was intimidating without being angry, came from the bedroom: "Wu Fang, you must not be so presumptuous."
Hearing this, Wu Fang paused slightly. One moment his hand was still pressed against the door, and the next he was kneeling on one knee, bowing and saying, "Your subordinate Wu Fang pays respects to the Emperor. I heard that the Emperor was not feeling well, so I came to see you."
After a long time, Ji Xingzhi's voice was heard again in the bedroom: "I'm fine, you can leave."
Wu Fang was slightly startled, feeling a sudden unease. Although the Emperor had locked himself in his chambers before, refusing to eat or drink, he had always been known to avoid seeing others. This time, the Emperor had stayed in his chambers for five consecutive times, refusing to see anyone except the palace maid Rumei. This was truly a bit suspicious.
Although he was worried, Wu Fang still said obediently, "Yes. I'll take my leave."
Before leaving, he did not forget to apologize to Rumei: "I'm sorry for offending you just now. Please forgive me, Miss Rumei."
