Chapter 5 The Young Lady 5
Consort Li was confined to her quarters by the Emperor for a month. Her complexion changed repeatedly, turning bluish-purple, and she looked extremely unsightly.
They're both princes, how can the Emperor be so biased? Her Chen'er is no worse than the Crown Prince.
Two weeks later,
Mingyue Pavilion, third floor
Qi Yu looked at the beautiful Luo Xi sitting opposite him, his eyes filled with tenderness.
After a moment, he took out a piece of jade of excellent quality and handed it to Luo Xi, saying, "Miss Luo, this is for you."
Luo Xi accepted it with a smile and thanked her.
She raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, did you invite me out today just to give me this jade pendant in person?"
Qi Yu nodded, "Of course, the jade pendant should be given in person to show sincerity."
"By the way, Father Emperor ordered me to lead a group south to provide disaster relief?"
I'm leaving first thing tomorrow morning, and I might not be back for two or three months...
"I'm worried about you, so I'll have Yingyi and the others stay by your side to protect you, okay?"
Luo Xi thought for a moment and said, "No need, I have people my parents gave me. Ying Yi and the others? Let them go with you. Once you leave the capital, the Third Prince will definitely make a move..."
Also, she doesn't like having people who aren't her around. Wouldn't that restrict her from doing whatever she wants?
Luo Xi continued, "It's not just the Third Prince, but also the First Prince."
"Although his ambition isn't obvious, it's not uncommon. You rarely leave the capital, especially for disaster relief; you can't bring too many people with you..."
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; I don't believe he won't make a move."
Looking at the handsome Crown Prince opposite her, Luo Xi said seriously, "Crown Prince, you are in much more danger than I am."
"Be careful, don't let them actually succeed."
Luo Xi didn't want to fail to become the Crown Princess...
Qi Yu's eyes flashed with a coldness when he thought of the Third Prince.
"Okay, I'll be careful."
The next morning, Qi Yu led his men south to provide disaster relief.
Three days later
On his way back to his residence, the Third Prince accidentally fell from his horse, landing on a large rock by the roadside and breaking his right leg. Upon learning of this, the Empress Dowager was overwhelmed with grief and fainted...
The next day, the Empress Dowager woke up. She was awake, but her condition was very strange.
The Empress Dowager's eyes were vacant, and her speech was indistinct, making it impossible to understand what she was saying. Moreover, her arms were weak, making it difficult for her to even lift them, let alone eat by herself.
These symptoms are very similar to a stroke.
Later, the Emperor ordered all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to examine the Empress Dowager's pulse. The final diagnosis was that the Empress Dowager had indeed suffered a stroke...
Consort Li's world has collapsed...
Why did the Empress Dowager suffer a stroke at this time? Couldn't it have been done later?
The Empress Dowager suffered a stroke, so she lost her powerful backer.
Over the years, relying on the Empress Dowager's indulgence, she has repeatedly disrespected the Empress and the Imperial Concubine. It would be strange if they let her off the hook.
What happened during this time? The Empress Dowager suffered a stroke, and Chen'er (the Third Prince) broke his leg.
If she had known that the Empress Dowager was so sensitive to shocks, she shouldn't have told her about Chen'er breaking his leg.
After the Third Prince broke his leg, he became gloomy and withdrawn.
A prince with a broken leg was essentially out of the running for the throne, but he was unwilling to accept it, very unwilling. So he sent many people out to find highly skilled and extraordinary medical practitioners to heal his leg…
