Chapter 5 The Savior
The hunting did not end prematurely because of King Su's death.
After all, it's just one person dying, it's not a big deal.
Three days later
That evening, Gu Yi slipped away to Luo Xi's tent.
Just then, Luo Xi happened to be going out for a stroll.
As soon as she lifted the curtain, she saw the little dwarf standing at the door.
Luo Xi walked up to Gu Yi, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "You came to see me?"
Gu Yi said crisply, "Yes."
"I brought you some delicious food." He pointed to the palace maids behind him carrying food boxes.
Luo Xi: "What delicious food is it?"
Gu Yi: "There are my favorite meat buns, and braised pork slices, braised pork..."
As he talked, he himself started to want to eat.
Gu Yi: "By the way, where are you going now?"
Luo Xi: "I originally wanted to ride a horse and wander around the area."
"but.........."
She paused deliberately, "But you came, and you brought so much delicious food."
"Of course, the most important thing is that it tastes good."
On the other side,
Gu Tianqi went to the Imperial Concubine's place; he originally intended to visit Gu Yi.
When he arrived, he didn't see Gu Yi at all.
Gu Tianqi asked the Imperial Concubine, "Imperial Concubine, where is Yi'er?"
Where did he go at this time?
The Imperial Concubine smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Yi'er has taken a lot of his favorite foods to go find Princess Luo Xi."
Upon hearing this, Gu Tianqi smiled and said, "He and the princess are quite close."
"When did you go?" he asked, sitting in a chair at the round table.
The Imperial Concubine sat next to Gu Tianqi and said, "Yi'er just left, and the Emperor arrived right after."
Gu Tianqi: "Then I was a step too slow."
"Otherwise, you would have seen him."
Consort: "Your Majesty, have you been missing Yi'er since you haven't seen him all day?"
Gu Tianqi didn't deny it, "Yes, I miss him."
"I didn't see him at all that day."
"Where did he go today?" Gu Tianqi asked the Imperial Concubine curiously.
The imperial concubine smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is a small river nearby with small fish in it."
"This morning, after finishing his breakfast, he couldn't wait to take his men out to catch fish."
The Imperial Concubine pointed to a small fish tank placed by the window a few steps away, "Your Majesty, those fish were brought back by Yi'er."
Gu Tianqi walked over and took a look. "These fish are too small and ugly, aren't they?"
The Imperial Concubine glared at Gu Tianqi. "Your Majesty, you can't say that to Yi'er."
"Otherwise, he would be crying."
Gu Tianqi: "Don't worry, I won't tell him."
He was also afraid that he would cry.
The next day
The imperial concubine sat in front of her dressing table, looking at herself in the bronze mirror.
For the past six months, every time the Emperor came to her place, he simply slept.
The same thing happened last night.
The imperial concubine touched her delicate face and murmured, "Am I getting old?"
Her looks were top-notch, and even after having children, she didn't age at all.
Suddenly, amidst the lightning and thunder, the imperial concubine realized something.
She knew that the Emperor favored Princess Luo Xi.
Although the Emperor's gaze towards Princess Luo Xi seemed normal, she still noticed it.
Does he intend to never touch the concubines in the palace?
Now, the Emperor only has one prince, Yi'er.
If the emperor never touches his concubines, then no other princes will be born.
Then wouldn't her Yi'er be...?
The imperial concubine curved her lips into a smile, thinking to herself:
I hope the Emperor will be devoted to his love and not get involved with other concubines or women along the way.
