Ning Yuxi interrupted her: "Although Pinglang Pavilion is a bit remote, it has beautiful scenery, a wide view, and few insects and ants. It is suitable for you to live in. Zheng Changzai should move out quickly, it will be dark soon."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
I've been riding in the carriage all day and am exhausted. You're already here to deal with this mess before I even get comfortable in the chair. And you're still asking for so many things? Just having a place to stay is good enough.
However, I don't know whether this incident today was man-made or coincidental. If it was man-made, what was the purpose of this person doing this? Disgusting, did Zheng Changzai and Wei agree?
Or was he trying to find something to do for her, the person in charge of the harem? But this wasn't a big deal. She couldn't figure it out, so she had better get rid of this hot potato quickly, otherwise something else might happen.
Behind her, Wei Da Ying looked at Ning Yuxi's back as she left and slowly smiled.
Ning Yuxi returned to Linglong Pavilion and had just finished dinner and was about to rest when the emperor came.
Aren’t you tired? You’ve been riding in a carriage all day…”
Resigned to her fate, she welcomed the person in and said with a smile, "Why is the emperor here? Has he had dinner yet?"
Gu Qilan walked to the couch and sat down: "I have used it, why don't I see Cheng Zhao and the others?"
The little ones were too excited during the day and fell asleep early because they were too tired.
Ning Yuxi poured him a cup of tea and said, "They've all gone to bed. They've been sitting in the carriage all day, and Cheng Zhao was dozing off while eating dinner."
"Yes." Gu Qilan nodded, and then said, "I heard that something happened before dinner at the place where Zheng Changzai and Wei agreed to stay?"
Ning Yuxi's heart skipped a beat. Did the news reach the emperor's ears so quickly?
"Yes, there was a pile of dead insects in the corner of the Shuiyue Pavilion where they lived for some reason. It was my fault."
She was ready to admit her mistake, but Gu Qilan said, "How can this be blamed on you? It was the servants who didn't check carefully. You can let the palace maids around you handle these small matters in the future. There's no need to do everything yourself."
Gu Qilan looked at the fatigue on her face and spoke gently.
Ning Yuxi was a little confused. Why did she feel like the emperor had become a different person? Well, she had this feeling since the last time the eldest and second princes were poisoned.
"This is my first time managing the harem, and also my first time in Qinghe Garden, so I must pay close attention to everything."
Hearing this, Gu Qilan remembered that this was indeed her first time in Qinghe Garden in the three years since she entered the palace. The first year, she couldn't come because she was about to give birth. The second year... she was framed and demoted to a commoner, and she was almost banished to the cold palace by him...
Thinking of this, Gu Qilan took her hand and said softly: "I have wronged you before. If you have any problems in the future, come and tell me, and I will take care of it for you."
Ning Yuxi was genuinely surprised to hear him say this. Seeing that he was in a good mood, her eyes lit up and she took the opportunity to ask, "Is what the Emperor said true?"
Gu Qilan saw the other person's sparkling eyes and laughed in his heart. He said with a slightly helpless tone: "Sir, I am not kidding. How could I lie to you?"
That's a good feeling. Ning Yuxi said, "I have something I would like Your Majesty to help me with."
Gu Qilan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Tell me about it."
"Your Majesty, managing the harem is really too tiring. I feel like my hair has turned gray these days. Your Majesty, please have some pity on me and don't let me take care of it~"
Gu Qilan thought she would have some request, but unexpectedly she asked him to take back her right to manage the harem. This right to manage the harem was something that others could not even ask for, but she even disliked the tedious and tiring work.
He feigned displeasure and said, "Why? Did I give you this right by mistake?"
"How could that be? The Emperor is certainly not wrong, but I am unfit to serve. I just want to be with the children and accompany the Emperor. I really don't have the extra energy to manage such a large harem."
Gu Qilan chuckled and held the person on his lap: "You little lazy bug."
He didn't say whether he agreed or not, but just picked the person up and carried him towards the bed.
Well, she will try her best tonight to get rid of this hot potato!
As soon as Gu Qilan put him on the bed, Ning Yuxi kicked off her shoes, put her arms around his neck, and gave him a kiss. While the two of them were talking to each other in ecstasy, Ning Yuxi's hands were not idle either, and she took off all of Gu Qilan's clothes.
Gu Qilan was a little surprised at her initiative tonight, but it was obvious that he liked it very much. When the two were in love, Song Qu's voice suddenly came from outside the house.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have something to report."
His tone was gentle and cautious, and he obviously knew that cleaning the emperor at this time would make him very unhappy.
Sure enough, Gu Qilan frowned when he heard Song Qu's voice and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
Hearing the emperor's cold tone, Song Qu swallowed his saliva and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, something happened to Concubine Xin. It is said that a snake suddenly crawled in in the middle of the night and frightened Concubine Xin to death. The Second Prince was also frightened."
What? Where did the snake come from?
After hearing Song Qu's words, Ning Yuxi was full of surprise, and Gu Qilan's hot body instantly returned to normal. The two of them hurriedly got up and put on their clothes.
Not long after, the two neatly dressed people went together to Chunheju where Concubine Xin lived. When they entered the courtyard, they found that there was no one in the main hall, while the side hall was brightly lit and crowded with people. All the palace people gathered there.
The two of them went directly to the side hall. On the bed, Concubine Xin was lying quietly with a pale face. At this moment, the imperial physician was treating her.
By the bed, the second prince, in his pajamas, curled up in his wet nurse's arms and sobbed.
Hearing the palace maids' greetings, he poked his head out from his wet nurse's arms and looked at the emperor with some fear in his eyes, feeling pitiful and helpless.
Seeing this, Gu Qilan frowned and wanted to go forward to comfort the Second Prince, but he didn't expect that after he took a few steps, the Second Prince shrank even more. "..."
Well, the Second Prince had always been afraid of him, so he gave up the idea and looked at Cai Yan, who was waiting beside him, looking at him nervously, and asked, "What's going on?"
Cai Yan knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen had just gone to bed, but suddenly heard the Second Prince's scream. The Queen hurried over and found several snakes crawling into the room.
To protect the Second Prince, the Empress suppressed her fear and tried to drive the snake away, but was bitten by the snake and fainted. The Second Prince was also terrified.
Hearing this, Gu Qilan said in a deep voice: "Where did this snake come from? It even crawled into the Second Prince's room and bit Concubine Xin. What are you servants doing for a living?"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, everyone was so scared that they fell to their knees on the ground, shouting for the emperor to calm down.
Cai Yan said stubbornly, "Your Majesty, this servant...this servant doesn't know either. The snake suddenly crawled in, and the maids on night watch didn't see it. It was only when a maid was bitten that everyone noticed..."
"Useless thing, is that snake poisonous?"
Before anyone could answer, a maid in the crowd suddenly rolled her eyes and fell to the ground with convulsions all over her body. It was the maid who had been bitten.
At this time, the imperial physician who was treating Concubine Xin took the time to say, "Your Majesty, this snake is poisonous, and its poison is quite strong!"
