Chapter 2 The "Virtuous" Empress 2
As for Luo Yan, just wait and see.
She won't let her get away with this.
Jade Brocade Palace.
Luo Yan ate a sour jujube. "Has the Empress left Cining Palace?"
Mu Jin: "Your Majesty, the Empress left half an hour ago."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan nodded and then pondered for a moment.
After a while,
"Go to Xuanhua Hall and invite the Emperor over for lunch."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xuanhua Hall.
Eunuch Quan: "Your Majesty, Consort Li invites you to have lunch with her."
Xuan Che: "Oh?"
He thought for a moment and then said, "Just say I'm busy."
After saying that, he continued to review the memorials.
Eunuch Quan: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Three days later.
The Imperial Garden.
Xuanche's eyes got tired from reading the memorials, so he went for a walk in the Imperial Garden.
As he passed by the lake, he immediately spotted a figure standing in the pavilion not far ahead, eyes lowered, lost in thought.
"Empress?" Xuan Che stopped and called out uncertainly.
Upon hearing this, Luo Xi turned her head and saw Xuan Che, dressed in bright yellow, with cold eyes and a high nose bridge, not far away.
Luo Xi raised a gentle smile and walked over, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects."
Xuan Che took her hand and said, "Your Majesty, there's no need for such formalities."
Xuan Che looked at Luo Xi's exquisite and beautiful face, his eyes darkening, and asked, "Empress, what were you thinking about just now? You seemed so lost in thought." It was as if you were about to leave at any moment.
As he spoke, his hand naturally intertwined with hers.
Luo Xi: ? ? ?
"I wasn't thinking about anything, I was just spacing out."
Xuan Che thought to himself: Is that so?
Suddenly, he remembered something!
She had someone she liked before she entered the palace.
Were she thinking about that person just now?
He didn't care before, but now, he cares terribly.
night,
Xuan Che looked at Luo Xi, who was lying beside him, sleeping peacefully with her eyes closed.
His hand touched her cheek, and finally, his thumb stopped at her lips, gently rubbing them.
He instinctively placed his hands on top of her and lowered his head to kiss her red lips.
Luo Xi was startled awake, and she pressed her hands against his chest.
Xuan Che kissed Luo Xi's slender neck and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Empress, it is I, it is I."
He saw her red lips part slightly, and he was afraid that Luo Xi would reject him, afraid that she would still remain chaste for someone else, so he kissed her lips again, not letting her speak.
Just then, a sound came from outside.
"Your Majesty, Consort Li has a stomachache..."
Luo Xi heard this, and her eyes flickered slightly.
Luo Yan! Luo Yan.
Instead of letting you die, let's make you lose something first.
Luo Xi raised her eyes, biting her lip, and looked at the emperor above.
Xuan Che looked at the little girl beneath him, her face flushed, her eyes, brimming with moisture, staring straight at him.
He called out to the outside, "If there's anything, find the imperial physician."
No one can stop him from touching her; she can only belong to him.
He had barely finished speaking when he pressed down on her...
Jade Brocade Palace.
Luo Yan lay on the bed, clutching her stomach, cold sweat beading on her forehead. She looked behind the palace maid but didn't see the person she wanted to see. "Where is the Emperor? Where is the Emperor?"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor... the Emperor has not come."
"He didn't come, he didn't come... How could the Emperor not come?"
Just then, she saw blood.
The imperial physician urgently exclaimed, "Your Majesty, please calm down..."
An hour later,
The Empress Dowager has arrived.
"How is the imperial heir in Consort Li's womb?"
The imperial physicians knelt on the ground, trembling as they said, "Your Majesty, Consort Li has come into contact with something cold; the imperial heir is doomed."
"What?"
The Empress Dowager gripped the prayer beads in her hand and closed her eyes.
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly for me."
She didn't believe it was an accident; she was definitely doing it herself.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
At this moment, the Empress Dowager noticed that two people were missing.
"Where is the Emperor? Where is the Empress? Why haven't they come?"
A palace maid knelt before the Empress Dowager, crying out, "Empress Dowager, the Emperor is currently in the Empress's palace. I went there, but I was unable to summon him."
Empress Dowager: !!!
"The Empress?"
The next day.
Cining Palace.
What happened last night?
Luo Xi was taken aback by the Empress Dowager's question and felt a little embarrassed. She said somewhat shyly, "Mother, the Emperor last night... insisted on having sex, and I couldn't stop him..."
Empress Dowager:
"Are you sure you didn't deliberately stop the Emperor from going to Yan'er's palace last night?"
Her face was stern, her eyes fixed on Luo Xi, not missing a single expression on her face.
"no."
"Mother, you know perfectly well how could I possibly stop the Emperor?"
Looking at Luo Xi's stunningly beautiful face, the Empress Dowager thought: That's not necessarily true.
"Did you cause Yan'er's miscarriage?"
She had someone investigate, but they found nothing.
The only one who has had a conflict with Luo Yan recently is the Empress.
Upon hearing this, Luo Xi's eyes widened, and she looked at the Empress Dowager in disbelief. "Mother, do you doubt me?"
"Why would I harm the child in Luoyan's womb?"
"Wasn't that child supposed to be raised by me after it was born?"
"What benefit could I possibly gain from doing this?"
Luo Xi looked aggrieved. "Your Majesty can send someone to investigate. I will not admit to anything I did. I have a clear conscience."
Empress Dowager: !!!
Could it really not be her?
really.
The first son born to Luo Yan will be registered under Luo Xi's name as the legitimate heir, and he will be Luo Xi's child in the future. Therefore, it is indeed impossible for her to drug Luo Yan.
Could it be that the other concubines were trying to kill two birds with one stone?
This not only harmed the imperial heir in Yan'er's womb, but also made her suspicious of the Empress...
If it's not the Empress, then who could it be?
Luo Xi pursed her lips tightly, lowered her eyes, and her eyes were full of coldness.
She felt she needed to deal with this meddlesome Empress Dowager first; she was constantly bothering her, it was incredibly annoying.
Moreover, she didn't want someone who wasn't on her side putting her in a difficult position. This made her particularly unhappy.
She needs to come up with a plan.
Half an hour later,
Luo Xi left Cining Palace.
Jade Brocade Palace.
Luo Xi stood in front of Luo Yan's bed, looking at Luo Yan's pale face, and said worriedly, "Yan'er, you can have another child, but you must take care of yourself!"
Luo Yan: !!!
She really has no sense of the situation.
"Luo Xi, are you very pleased with yourself for looking like this?"
She didn't believe that Luo Xi didn't hate her.
