Shouning Palace.
"My lady, I have found out everything. Madam Fanghua has already been released from the Baoshi Office and is now in the Qingliang Palace. Moreover, His Majesty and the Crown Prince will also stay there for a few days under the pretext of studying..."
After receiving the report, Li Lianying quickly reported everything to Empress Xiao.
"What? Your Majesty deliberately concealed such a big thing from me. He promised Li Zhi to the prince, and then released Fang Hua. I think it won't be long before he can bring that bitch back to the palace."
Queen Xiao suddenly flew into a rage, her teeth itching with rage, and she even smashed her tea bowls to the ground.
"This... I am not sure either. However, Your Majesty, do not worry too much. It is possible that the Princess is trying to make trouble for the Crown Prince. A few days ago, the Princess and the Crown Prince were playing in the Imperial Garden. The Crown Prince was very sad at the time. I guess Your Majesty may have softened her heart.
Besides, since they chose Qingliang Palace, they probably didn’t want more people to know about it.”
Li Lianying hurriedly explained, hoping to calm his master down. What would happen if he continued like this? The maid who combed his hair said that he already had several white hairs.
"Your Majesty is soft-hearted. Why don't you be soft-hearted towards me? Why don't you be soft-hearted towards Jing'er? You are wholeheartedly trying to clear obstacles for the Crown Prince, and secretly guarding against my father and me..."
As Queen Xiao spoke, her eyes turned red, and she felt chilled to the bone whenever she thought about it.
"My lady, I beg you to calm down and take care of yourself!"
Li Lianying had never seen Empress Xiao lose her composure like this before. It seemed that this incident was too much of a blow to her.
"Our Xiao family is loyal to the royal family, and I have not done anything wrong. I just want Jing'er to be the crown prince. My son is the legitimate son. Why should he be given the advantage of Fanghua and her son..."
Empress Xiao choked with sobs, her voice close to a roar...
She could imagine the smug look on the face of that bitch Fanghua, and the sympathetic look on the face of His Majesty who still had feelings for her.
"ah…"
Thinking of this, Queen Xiao felt chest tightness and difficulty breathing, and she cried out loudly.
"My queen, you can't do this. This old slave is really heartbroken. If it can make your queen happy, this old slave will go to Qingliang Palace tonight and kill Madam Fanghua..."
Li Lianying fell to his knees on the ground. He was so loyal and cried so sincerely.
No wonder, his Li family received great favors from the Xiao family, and they made up their minds to repay the favor with their own death since the day they served the queen.
"Eunuch Li, you...get up first!"
"My Lady, please make the decision. As long as we don't fight Cao Zhengchun head-on, I am sure I can escape unscathed."
Li Lianying did not stand up, but knelt on the ground with a determined look on his face. He was not acting on impulse, but perhaps he had no other choice.
Of course, there were also the four elders hiding in the palace. Any one of them could easily kill him, but he had never seen them actually take action...
So, it was largely a gamble that Qingliang Palace was remote and there were some neglects.
Even if I was really exposed, the worst that could happen is that I would have to bear all the blame. Without evidence, I couldn't do anything to the Queen.
"Eunuch Li, if I wanted you to take risks, I would have asked you to do it long ago. It is impossible to kill someone under the eyes of His Majesty. Moreover, the situation is different now. His Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition. If the elixir made with the inner elixir of the dragon is ineffective, then His Majesty will do anything before he dies in order to leave a stable kingdom for the prince."
After all, Empress Xiao was the queen who ruled the country. Her previous loss of composure was the result of being suppressed for too long. Now that she had released the emotion, she felt much better and quickly calmed down.
"Get up. I know you are loyal and I appreciate your kindness."
"Thank you for your understanding, Madam. I will go through fire and water for you!"
When Li Lianying saw that Empress Xiao had recovered, he slowly stood up.
"There is nothing we can do now. We can only wait patiently. However, even if that bitch Fanghua is reinstated by His Majesty, I am not afraid of her. I will fight her to the end and will never let them get what they want, even if I die."
After saying this, Queen Xiao slowly closed her eyes, as if she wanted to calm herself down...
…
Qingliang Palace.
Liu Xian brought the prince here, and as he did not want to alarm more people, he only brought two eunuchs and two palace maids with him.
"The guilty concubine Fanghua pays respect to His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Lizhi greets father and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
…
Everyone knelt down to welcome him.
"Everyone, get up!"
"Fanghua, I have pardoned you these few days, so you don't have to be so restrained... Hui'er, go and help your mother up."
"Yes, Father!"
Crown Prince Liu Hui could no longer wait and quickly ran over to support Madam Fanghua.
"Mother!"
"Hui Er..."
Madam Fanghua and her son hugged each other and sobbed. Behind them, Li Lizhi and the two sisters Meng Yudie and He Fengyi had red eyes and were deeply moved.
It was the first time that Xing Bang met the current emperor Liu Xian. He looked very majestic, but upon closer inspection, he seemed to be somewhat sickly.
God is away from the eighth level!
Wow, what a high level of cultivation!
However, if I hadn't used my clairvoyance, I wouldn't have been able to sense the fluctuations in his spiritual energy. He didn't look like a cultivator at all, which was really strange...
Could it be related to his illness?
Xing Bang could only guess like this for now. Even Madam Fanghua was not quite sure. She only knew that Liu Xian was in very poor health and was almost dying, otherwise he would not have been so cruel as to send her to the torture chamber.
"Father, why isn't Eunuch Wei with you?"
Li Lizhi was very surprised, this big companion never left her side...
Liu Xian coughed. It turned out that he was not feeling well. It was just some cool breeze.
"Oh, I rarely have time to spare, so I'll let the Imperial Household Department take care of the government affairs. Why, are you worried about my safety? I feel relieved to have you by my side..."
"Father, you are joking. Who in this palace dares to get close to you...
Father, it's windy outside, you should go inside and rest!"
Liu Xian waved his hand, "It's okay. I haven't been to such a quiet place for a long time. The air is so fresh. You don't have to worry about me. There are no monarchs and subjects these days, only family. You young people can go crazy as you want."
"Yes, father, Li Zhi brought Feng Yi and Feng Jiao here. They are grateful for your kindness and want to thank you in person."
Liu Xian looked at Feng Yi and Feng Jiao, then waved his hand, "These two girls are becoming more and more generous. Well, forget it, just go and have fun!"
Then, Liu Xian turned around and looked at Wan Yanran behind him, "You don't have to be so polite. They are all young people. Just follow them and walk around. You don't have to accompany me!"
Then, only Li Lizhi and Xing Bang were left.
At this time, Liu Xian also stared at Xing Bang and looked at him, "You should be the miser in the violent room."
"Yes, Your Majesty, that's me!"
"I heard that the toy that the Sixth Prince is obsessed with is called something called Mahjong. Was it invented by you?"
