Chapter 685 Snow Killer's Pot
Chonghua Palace.
On the other side, Si Linglong and Helian Yue were watching the fireworks hand in hand and whispering, and they didn't notice when Xue Sha left.
When the fireworks ended, he realized that his fat fox cub was missing.
Just as I was about to send someone to look for her, I heard a baby sobbing in the distance. Most of the people entering the palace for the banquet today were clan members, and some of them had children with them. Moreover, on a day like New Year's Eve, no one wanted to hear crying in the palace.
Helian Yue and the Queen Mother's expressions instantly dimmed, and the clan members around them subconsciously glanced at their own children. After confirming that they were not their own children, they showed some subtlety to this obscure movement.
Among the crowd, only Madam Yu Enbo in the corner had a slightly changed expression and subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the palace, as if she wanted to take a look, but she didn't dare to go over because of her identity.
Si Linglong's heart was also lifted by the sound of the child crying.
But it was not because she suspected that the sobbing sound was made by the missing Xue Sha. Xue Sha could not possibly make such a crying sound. What she was more worried about was that the child was beaten and cried by Xue Sha.
After all, to others, Xueshan is just a chubby and tender three-year-old child, but Si Linglong knows that Xueshan's fighting ability is not weak at all.
And with that little jerk of a temper, she's capable of doing something like beating someone until they cry.
Just as he was about to send someone to ask, a palace maid came over and found Yu Enbo and whispered something to him.
Mrs. Yu Enbo's face changed, and Yu Enbo's face became even uglier. He glared at his wife in a somewhat obscure way.
The palace maid was ordered by the imperial guards to find Yu Enbo, and she didn't dare to disturb other masters, but Si Linglong felt guilty.
She was afraid that Xue Sha would sneak out and beat someone up, so she took the initiative to ask.
"But what happened?"
The harem is ownerless, and she is the only one among the three concubines present. She cannot let the empress dowager worry about such a trivial matter, so according to her status, Si Linglong is the one who is most suitable to speak up.
Mrs. Yu Enbo had originally planned to go and see it secretly, but when she heard Si Linglong's question, she felt it was not appropriate to leave.
Although there were many people present who looked down on Si Linglong, her family was just from a merchant family, and she bought her way into the palace. Even if she became a concubine, she could not compare with them, the legitimate royal relatives.
But although he looked down on her in his heart, he had to be respectful to her in public, because she was the emperor's favorite concubine after all.
She hurriedly said, "Thank you, Madam Lao, for your concern. It's nothing serious. The child was naughty and ran out and fell. The guards brought him back. I'll go and take a look."
However, Si Linglong didn't dare to let her go like this, in case Xue Sha was there too.
Although Xue Sha was raised in the palace, she was of low status after all. What if she beat someone up and Madam Yu Enbo saw her and settled the score with her in private?
Even if the child was wrong to hit someone, she, as an adult, would be the one to discipline her. She couldn't let her get into trouble with outsiders.
Then he took the initiative to show concern, "It's a big deal if he fell down. Send him to the side hall first. I'll ask someone to call the imperial physician to go with you to check it out."
Having said that, regardless of whether Madam Yu Enbo agreed or not, he directly instructed the palace maid beside him, "Go call the imperial physician."
Although she had some selfish motives in making this arrangement, it was actually appropriate for the host.
After all, something happened to a child in the palace. Whether it was a fall or something else, the imperial physician had to take a careful look to make sure nothing happened to the child in the palace.
Send the person to the side hall instead of directly here, because here are all the relatives from various families, as well as the emperor and the empress dowager. You can't let everyone see the miserable condition of your child. A crying child will ruin everyone's mood for the festival.
And Si Linglong's position as a concubine was also a thoughtful move for the master.
After all, this matter is not a big deal. Even if the emperor and the empress dowager want to ask about it, they can't do it personally. It is most appropriate for her to do it.
While they were talking, the palace maid had already passed the message, asking those who were to send the imperial physician to send the imperial physician, and those who were to send the patient to the side palace to send the patient to the side palace.
Si Linglong then asked Shu Hong to personally take Madam Yu Enbo to the side hall to wait. After everyone left, she walked up to the Queen Mother and spoke to her.
The Queen Mother saw that she spoke in an orderly manner just now, so she nodded and asked her to go over and take a closer look.
As for Helian Yue, he naturally knew her worries from her thoughts.
But it has to be said that her worries are indeed possible.
He nodded at her and signaled with his eyes that she should go and protect it bravely, saying that he would still be there to take care of it if the situation got serious.
Si Linglong then took her leave and went to the side hall. As soon as she reached the door of the hall, she heard the wailing of Madam Yu Enbo, with a hint of anger.
"Sun Ge'er! Who strangled you like this? Who on earth is so heartless that he could be so cruel to such a young child!!"
When Si Linglong heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she quickened her steps, fearing that Xue Sha might hit too hard and hurt someone else's child.
