Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Liu Xian stood up and stretched, then pointed to a small pile of memorials on the imperial desk and said, "Big Companion, send these memorials about Xiao Shizhong to the Crown Prince."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Cao Zhengchun responded and then picked up the memorials. These were all memorials approved by Liu Xian. Basically, they would be given to Crown Prince Liu Hui for him to read, and he would take great pains to teach him how to govern the country and control people.
Soon, he handed the memorial to the eunuch guarding outside the palace gate, and then returned to Liu Xian in the palace.
Liu Xian had a habit. When he was in the imperial study, except for Cao Zhengchun, no eunuchs or palace maids were allowed to wait in the hall, and they were not allowed to get too close outside the hall.
It has to be said that he did a very good job of secrecy, which resulted in the people planted by Li Lianying being unable to obtain any particularly useful information.
"Your Majesty, you have been reviewing memorials for an hour or two. You should go out for a walk."
Seeing that Liu Xian looked a little tired, Cao Zhengchun promptly suggested that he go out for some fresh air and exercise.
"Okay, that's what I'm thinking. Let's go to Lady Gao. She's been as dedicated as Madam Yu in this Mahjong competition. By the way, there's no need to summon the imperial sedan chair. I can just walk over."
Liu Xian also thought of Concubine Gao out of guilt. It was indeed a long time since he hadn't been to her palace. It didn't matter that he didn't remember her before because he was in poor health. Now he was much healthier. After all, she was his woman, so he might as well go and take a look at her.
Although he did not have any big grudges against Concubine Gao summoning Xing Bang into the palace, he was a man after all, and subconsciously wanted to go and take a look. Firstly, it could calm his emotions, and secondly, it could also serve as a warning to prevent any trouble from happening.
Men's possessiveness is even worse than that of emperors. Even if I don't pity you, even if you die of loneliness and depression, you must behave yourself for me and not be the slightest bit ridiculous.
Soon, Liu Xian brought Cao Zhengchun to Leping Palace and still launched a surprise attack, which became the norm.
Yes, Liu Xian’s guilty conscience and lack of confidence are also very helpless.
Xing Bang had naturally left long ago. He left decisively after he had made the decision with Gao Meiren...
"Your Majesty, your servants are here to see you!"
The maids waiting in the outer hall of the bedroom saw that it was Liu Xian who suddenly came to kill them, and they all knelt on the ground in fear.
An emperor is like a thief. Not to mention that he hasn't been to Leping Palace for a long time, even if he came here often, he would not be used to this way of life.
"Where's your mother?"
"Your Majesty, the queen is not feeling well today. I just went in to serve her some tea. The queen is resting on the couch."
A maid quickly replied.
Even if Xing Bang didn't remind her, Gao Meiren would still put on a complete show, and even her personal maid who had been with her for many years would not reveal any clues.
Liu Xian ignored him and went straight to the inner hall. Cao Zhengchun naturally stayed in the outer hall.
When they arrived at the entrance of the inner hall, the two maids pushed the door open without hesitation. There was no place in the harem that Liu Xian could not enter directly, even if you were using the toilet.
After the palace door was opened, a maid quickly walked to the side of the bed and hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, the emperor has arrived!"
At this moment, Miss Gao was lying on the bed.
"Hurry, help me up!"
During this time, Liu Xian also walked closer. Seeing that Lady Gao was unable to move, he frowned slightly, waved his hand and said, "My beloved concubine, there is no need to be polite. If you are not feeling well, just lie down and don't move."
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!"
Lady Gao showed no signs of feeling guilty, and she was not pretending. She just didn't feel guilty, and she really hadn't done anything out of the ordinary. Besides, she was in a pretty good mood.
Liu Xian could naturally see it, "I see that my beloved concubine looks good, I wonder where you are feeling unwell?"
Hearing this, Gao Meiren felt a sense of irony in her heart. How could someone ask such a question?
You've lived for decades in vain, don't you have any idea?
Asking questions even though you know the answer is just shameless!
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have not been busy with the chess competition these past two days. Many sisters have come to my palace to play mahjong. Maybe it has been a long time since I sat for such a long time. My back pain has come back and I can't even straighten my back."
"I heard that day in the Queen's palace that the little Korean knew some massage and traction techniques. It was inconvenient for me to find an imperial physician, so I asked the little Korean to come and try..."
Lady Gao would never dare to say what she was thinking, but she told everything very frankly. If it had happened in the past, she would definitely have felt a little resentful.
If you were not the emperor, the sisters in the harem would probably want to kick you to death!
Xing Bang had something to say. After all, he was the emperor, so the dirty work of unclogging the sewer had to be done by his servants.
Liu Xian already knew that the Xing Bang was taught by a hermit master who had some strange and bizarre techniques, so he was not too surprised. He just didn't know that he knew acupuncture.
Only Empress Xiao and Madam Yu knew about this matter. Although Empress Xiao did not explain it in detail, there was actually nothing particularly taboo about it. After all, Xing Bang was just a eunuch.
The practice of eunuchs helping the concubines in the harem to bathe has been around since ancient times. Every emperor would be aware of this. This is the so-called secret of the harem.
Especially for people like Liu Xian, their hearts must be even more open and clear!
His bottom line is that it's not a big deal, and he won't dwell too much on these things.
"But my beloved concubine seems to be in great pain. Will you participate in the Mahjong competition tomorrow?"
"Your Majesty, I feel much better now. Before leaving, Little Bangzi told me to just rest for half a day. Tomorrow is your Majesty's birthday, and I will treat it with the utmost enthusiasm."
Lady Gao could understand the intention of asking this question, but she is not a god, so how can she cure the disease instantly and completely just by touching it? There is nothing wrong with this answer.
"My beloved concubine has worked hard these past two days. In that case, I will not disturb your rest and will return to the palace."
Liu Xian just took a look subconsciously and didn't find anything unusual. Why was he still staying here?
"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"
Then, Liu Xian walked out of the bedroom. After leaving the palace, he couldn't help but sighed slightly with a little irritation, thinking to himself: "Since my body has recovered a little, my mind has indeed become much more active, and this beautiful lady Gao is indeed as charming as before..." Then he sighed again.
After leaving Leping Palace, Liu Xian thought of Lady Gao's gesture again, and couldn't help but frowning, muttering: "If I hadn't come here, I would have really forgotten that the little Korean can cure some difficult and complicated diseases..."
Cao Zhengchun followed Liu Xian out. Seeing his gloomy look, he thought he had discovered something, so he followed him without saying a word. However, he could hear Liu Xian's mumbling and could not help but frown: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Xian reacted, as if he had thought of something, and said with a look of sudden enlightenment: "Yes, call the little stick over to me..."
