From the emperor's perspective, he could only see the empress dowager's lowered head, and then heard the empress dowager's violent coughing. He didn't pay much attention to it. He stood aside and said to the eunuch: "Go and call the imperial physician."
"Yes..." The empress dowager
came over slowly and loosened her hand holding Foxi.
Foxi clenched her fists, Bei Mingchen stepped forward and took Foxi's hand. Foxi glanced at him, and then slowly loosened her hand. The
empress dowager covered her eyes with her handkerchief still on her mouth and nose. She loosened the handkerchief after seeing the two people's actions with her peripheral vision. There were bright red blood stains on the handkerchief, and the empress dowager's face was pale and her lips were blue.
For a moment, the three of them spoke nervously at the same time.
"Mother."
"Grandmother..."
The eunuch led a group of doctors into the Queen Mother's bedroom. The doctors knelt down and saluted: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Queen Mother and His Majesty..."
"Don't salute, go and see how the Queen Mother is doing." Bei Mingchen said anxiously.
The doctor immediately stepped forward, put a handkerchief on the Queen Mother's wrist, and took her pulse.
After a long time, the imperial physician withdrew his hand and knelt on the ground, "Empress Dowager, your pulse is weak. I'm afraid my medical skills are not good enough..."
The emperor said in an angry voice: "Then go and look through the medical books. If you can't cure the Empress Dowager, I will bury your entire imperial hospital with me."
The Empress Dowager coughed twice, "I know my own body, don't make things difficult for the imperial physician."
Bei Mingchen's brows were wrinkled, and before he could say anything, he saw the Empress Dowager coughing again. After the Empress Dowager recovered, the emperor said: "Mother, don't say anything else, and rest well." The
Empress Dowager nodded, and lay down with the help of the old woman, waved to Bei Mingchen and Foxi, half closed her eyes, "Go back..."
Bei Mingchen held Foxi's hand and knelt on the ground to salute: "Grandmother, have a good rest, your grandson will come to pay his respects another day." The Empress
Dowager did not say anything, but just waved.
Several people left the Queen Mother's bedroom. Bei Mingchen ignored the Emperor behind him and directly pulled Foxi out of the palace.
Foxi noticed that Bei Mingchen was becoming more and more violent, as if he would kill someone in the next second. The eunuchs and palace maids who passed by all knelt on the ground, lowered their heads and dared not look.
"Bei Mingchen." Foxi pulled Bei Mingchen's arm and said in a very low voice.
"Well..."
Bei Mingchen restrained his emotions, responded lightly, and did not say anything else.
The two got on the carriage, Bei Mingchen opened his hand, and saw a small silver key.
Foxi picked up the key and looked around, very surprised, "What does the Royal Grandmother mean by this?"
Bei Mingchen shook his head, put the key away, and then held Foxi's hand and closed his eyes.
Foxi looked at Beimingchen who closed his eyes and rested, and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
After the carriage had traveled for a while, Foxi lifted the curtain of the window and shouted to the outside of the carriage: "Lingfeng, stop."
Beimingchen opened his eyes and looked at Foxi, "What's wrong?"
Foxi smiled, "I'm going to Lingxi Pavilion, you go back to the mansion and rest first."
Beimingchen held Foxi's hand tightly, "I'll go with you."
Foxi and Beimingchen looked at each other and then nodded.
The carriage went around to the back door of Lingxi Pavilion, Beimingchen walked down and reached out to hug Foxi down, then took Foxi's hand and walked into Lingxi Pavilion.
Tiezhu saw that Foxi wanted to jump up, but saw Beimingchen on the side, and quickly braked the car with his claws.
Foxi looked around but didn't see anyone. She was very puzzled and stretched out her hand to call Tiezhu over.
"Where are the others?"
Tiezhu hid far away. "Woof woof... Uncle took them to training. Shi Zhou and Aunt Yue are in the database."
Foxi nodded and looked at Bei Mingchen, grinning, "How about you play with Tiezhu?"
Before Bei Mingchen could say anything, he heard Tiezhu's heartbreaking cry: "Woof... No——"
Foxi looked at Tiezhu's terrified look, then looked at Bei Mingchen with an awkward smile on his face.
Bei Mingchen held Foxi's hand and walked towards the database, "I want to see what the database of Lingxi Pavilion looks like."
Foxi raised her eyebrows, "It's just a lot of data. I thought you weren't interested."
Then she walked into the room, pressed the switch, and quickly ran to the secret door with Bei Mingchen. The secret door slowly opened. Bei Mingchen looked at Foxi who was about to launch and was very puzzled. Before he could ask, he was pulled in by Foxi.
Then there was the sound of the door closing. Foxi looked back and smiled with relief.
Seeing Bei Mingchen's puzzled expression, he laughed and pointed at the door and complained: "You don't know, this door always bullies me, it always gets my skirt caught."
Bei Mingchen smiled helplessly: "In that case, let's change it."
Foxi nodded with stars in her eyes, snorted at the door, and pulled Bei Mingchen into the database.
"Aunt Yue, Shi Zhou."
"Here." Fei Yue put down the scroll in her hand after hearing Foxi's voice, stepped forward, and saw Foxi and Bei Mingchen walked in together.
Foxi pulled Bei Mingchen forward and said to Bei Mingchen: "This is Aunt Yue, that's Aunt Yue's son, his name is Shi Zhou."
Bei Mingchen looked very polite, "Aunt Yue..."
Fei Yue smiled stiffly, "Your Highness Prince Chen."
Shi Zhou did not respond and continued to sort out the information.
Foxi pulled Bei Mingchen over and sat down, then poured a cup of tea for Bei Mingchen. Then she smiled and said, "Wait for me for a moment."
Then she walked to Fei Yue's side, put her hand on Fei Yue's arm, and pulled Fei Yue forward two steps.
Fei Yue looked at the embarrassed and hesitant Fo Xi and teased, "I don't know who said yesterday that he would come here early this morning to learn medicine."
Fo Xi shook Fei Yue's arm and said coquettishly, "Aunt Yue, Aunt Yue."
Fei Yue was shaken twice and quickly held Fo Xi's hand, "Don't shake it, tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Fo Xi glanced at Bei Ming Chen and saw that he was looking at the document at the moment, so she turned her eyes back and said in a very small voice, "It's that, you know Bei Ming Chen's grandmother, she is sick, a very serious disease, I think only someone with superb medical skills like Aunt Yue can cure it."
Fei Yue looked at her with scrutiny, "The current empress dowager is sick?"
Foxi nodded, "It's very serious. He even vomited blood."
While speaking, he secretly looked at Fei Yue's expression and said tentatively, "The imperial physician said it can't be cured. I think their medical skills must be poor. If they can be like Aunt Yue..."
"Okay, stop flattering." Fei Yue interrupted Foxi.
"Take me to the palace tomorrow."
Foxi opened her mouth and was stunned for a long time.
[Did I hear it wrong? ]
[I haven't even cried, made a fuss, or even committed suicide, how come Aunt Yue agreed? ]
[Tsk, the killer move hasn't even been used yet. 】
Uncertain voice: "Aunt Yue, do you agree?"
Fei Yue let go of Foxi's hand and hummed softly, "Come pick me up tomorrow morning, you guys go back early."
Bei Mingchen walked up and took the stunned Foxi
's hand, "What's wrong?" Foxi looked at Fei Yue's back and shook her head, "Let's go back, Aunt Yue agreed."
Bei Mingchen took Foxi out of Lingxi Pavilion, and saw Foxi frowning, so he stretched out his hand and tapped Foxi's forehead.
Foxi came back to her senses and breathed, "Bei Mingchen, I'm hungry."
"What do you want to eat?"
"Delicious."
"Haha..."
In the evening;
Foxi swung in the hanging chair, staring at the gate of Chenxi Courtyard. After a long time, Bei Mingchen didn't come in, so he sighed, stood up and walked out.
The guard at the door of the study room bowed and saluted when he saw Foxi: "I've met the princess."
"Get up..." Foxi said as she pushed open the door of the study room and walked in.
Bei Mingchen put down the book in his hand, "Why haven't you rested yet?"
Foxi's jade-like face was filled with a smile, and with a coquettish expression, she
gently opened her red lips: "I can't sleep without you." Bei Mingchen walked to Foxi's side, raised the corners of his lips, and smiled: "Want me to accompany you?"
Foxi looked at Bei Mingchen's smiling face, put her hands on Bei Mingchen's neck, stood on tiptoes and kissed him, imitating Bei Mingchen's usual movements.
Bei Mingchen was stunned at first, then felt the warmth on his lips, put his hands on Foxi's slender waist, turned defense into offense, and deepened the kiss.
