Chapter 501 The emperor is not anxious and the eunuch is anxious
Although Si Linglong and Helian Yue's trip out of the palace and back again caused quite a stir in the harem, everyone felt relieved when they saw that the emperor did not enter the harem that night.
But unexpectedly, the next day, the emperor suddenly issued an imperial decree, allowing Lady Shen to leave the palace for half a day to visit the old lady.
When the news came out, the concubines in the harem said they couldn't understand it.
The Emperor clearly rejected Noble Lady Shen so ruthlessly yesterday, and even turned around and took Lang Zhaoyi out of the palace. Why did he give the Emperor's favor again today?
Is the old lady so respected?
Or does it mean that the Emperor is also going to start favoring Noble Lady Shen?
Si Linglong ignored what was happening in the harem. After returning yesterday, she asked someone to go to the pharmacy to get some medicinal herbs. Now she was slowly making medicine in her own harem.
While grinding flour, I heard a palace maid come to report that Concubine Li had arrived.
Si Linglong was a little puzzled, "What is she doing here?"
Last time in the villa, Si Linglong accidentally discovered red flowers in the bowl. Li Guipin was picked out by her and A Yue to be used as a smoke bomb. Although the mastermind behind the incident was caught later, she suffered some grievances.
Since then, she and Li Guipin have not had any contact, and no one knows what she is doing here?
Are you here to buy hair coloring agent again?
Si Linglong was puzzled, but she still invited the person in.
As soon as Li Guipin entered the room, she saw Si Linglong struggling with her medicine. She bowed to her and then looked at her with a tone of regret.
"Why do you still have the energy to mess with these things?"
Si Linglong was suddenly confronted with a question and was still a little confused. "Huh?"
"Ah what?" Li Guipin stepped forward, took the rattle from her hand without saying a word, and pulled her hand to the side.
Her movements were so sudden and familiar that not only Si Linglong, but even Shuhong and Qinglu who were serving beside her were stunned.
Then Concubine Li took the person to sit aside and waved her hand to signal the people in the room to leave.
Shuhong and Qinglu naturally wouldn't listen to her.
Seeing that calling out to her had no effect, Li Guipin could only turn her head and look at Si Linglong.
Si Linglong felt helpless. What was this young lady trying to do?
"Then you guys just stand aside."
It was impossible to call everyone out, but it was okay to ask them to stand aside. Shuhong and Qinglu knelt down as they were told and stood a little further away.
Although Concubine Li felt that it was still easy to hear because she was standing far away, she did not insist when she saw that Si Linglong had no intention of speaking again, and just asked her in a low voice.
"What is going on between you and the Emperor? What do you think now?"
Si Linglong raised her eyebrows.
Although everyone in the palace knew that she and Helian Yue were having trouble, they even speculated whether she was going to fall out of favor.
But no one has ever come to me and asked directly.
Her sister Quan sent someone to ask about it, and then she confirmed that it was nothing serious and then left it alone.
Si Linglong didn't expect that the first person to come and ask was Concubine Li.
There isn't any relationship between her and him, right?
Seeing her subtle expression, Li Guipin did not continue to ask, but looked a little anxious, "Did you know that the emperor issued an order this morning to allow Shen Guiren to leave the palace for half a day to visit relatives?"
Si Linglong blinked, "I know."
Not only did she know, but she also knew why A Yue suddenly issued this decree.
Isn't this just eating the spiritual shuang that someone has raised for twenty years, and now you have to pay compensation to that person and repay the debt on behalf of your own child?
Si Linglong looked towards Yao who was stirring the drum over there.
She is also preparing to pay off her debts.
Li Guipin was thinking more than what she was thinking. Seeing her eyes drifting, she couldn't help but said, "My queen, don't look blindly, look at me."
Si Linglong: ...
Si Linglong turned her gaze back to Li Guipin's face and asked her helplessly, "What do you want to say?"
"Can't you see it?!" Li Guipin looked very disappointed and asked, "Do you know what people in the palace are saying now? Are you really not afraid of losing favor?"
Si Linglong blinked again, looking innocent.
"Then I haven't lost favor either."
Didn’t you accompany someone out of the palace yesterday?
Seeing her like this, Concubine Li couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Why don't you understand? The emperor can give a decree of favor to Noble Shen, which means he cares about Noble Shen. You are still so leisurely now, what if you really fall out of favor one day?"
Even if Si Linglong was stupid, she could tell from Li Guipin's attitude.
"Are you... worried about me?"
Si Linglong was a little surprised. Although she knew that this man was a simple-minded person with no bad intentions, she did not expect that he was actually worried about her.
Obviously, they don't have much friendship.
I couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Seeing that she hadn't responded for a long time and was still asking why, Li Guipin couldn't help but glance at her and said unhappily, "I'm not worried about you, don't talk nonsense."
She just...
Thinking about how she had been harmed in the villa and had ruined her virginity, she might never have a child again, so I felt sorry for her.
Although that matter had nothing to do with her, she still felt unhappy.
When I saw her and the emperor being affectionate, I couldn't help but secretly feel jealous. Now, when I see her and the emperor quarreling, I can't help but feel anxious and say to her,
"It's rare that the emperor likes you. If you don't hold on to him tightly, how can you give others the opportunity to take advantage of him? I tell you, men can't be left alone! If you leave them alone, they will run away!"
