"The Emperor got angry and left when he heard that?"
"The Emperor took care of the young lady until her fever subsided and left early this morning."
Sheng Xiyan covered her face and asked, "Have I been talking nonsense all night?"
Hua Xia nodded, her face timid, "Yes, my lady, the emperor's face is very ugly, you should think of how to comfort the emperor."
Sheng Xiyan sighed, "Prepare some food for me, so I can have the energy to think. Where's Jiang Jiang?"
"The young master went to Jingren Palace to play today. The Empress sent someone to tell you to take good care of your health and took the young master away."
Two days later, Sheng Xiyan recovered and went to the Yangxin Palace to meet the emperor without stopping.
Outside the palace gate, Eunuch Fu said, "Miss Sheng, you are better now. The Emperor had a fever all day yesterday."
Sheng Xiyan muttered to herself, what a shame! How could she, a lazy person, infect the emperor who was so busy with state affairs?
"Eunuch Fu, I brought some green vegetable and minced meat porridge with glutinous rice to dispel the cold and strengthen the spleen. Is the emperor awake now? I'll go check on him."
Eunuch Fu said, "Wait a minute, I'll go in and make the announcement."
In the back hall of the Yangxin Palace, Xuan Ling closed his eyelids, as if half asleep.
Eunuch Fu whispered, "Your Majesty, Miss Sheng is here and wants to see you."
After a long time without receiving a reply from the emperor, Eunuch Fu knew that he was gone.
Just as he was about to go out, he heard Xuan Ling say from behind: "Let her in."
After a while, Sheng Xiyan came in with a lunch box.
Seeing Xuan Ling lying on the dragon couch, guilt welled up in his heart.
Kneeling on the palace carpet beside the couch, she took his hand and said, "Your Majesty, your hand is still a little hot. Have you taken the medicine to reduce the fever?"
Xuan Ling closed his eyes and said nothing.
Eunuch Fu said, "The Emperor drank the fever-reducing medicine an hour ago."
Xuan Ling had concealed the news of his fever for the past two days. No one in the harem knew about it, not even the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace.
Sheng Xiyan saw that Xuan Ling didn't open his eyes to look at her. She was still very angry. She stood up and lay softly on him, muttering softly:
"Your Majesty, Xiyan knows you don't want to hear how grateful I am for saving your life. I had a fever and I don't know what I said. Ignorance is not a crime. Can Your Majesty forgive Xiyan? Your Majesty..."
The little hand wandered on his chest again, and Xuan Ling opened his eyes to see the black hair and half of the snow-white cheek.
Sheng Xiyan looked up and saw that he was awake. She spoke softly and coquettishly, pulled his hand to her face, and said with tears in her eyes:
"If Your Majesty is angry, just hit Xiyan. Don't hold your anger in. Sob... "
Xuan Ling couldn't help but stare at her for a while. This woman was indeed beautiful, and her beauty touched his heart.
In her sleep, she is filled with spring water, with a beautiful face and fairy-like figure, smooth as fat, with a rosy complexion, charming eyes sweeping up to her temples, and red lips that are delicate and tempting.
She has a slender waist and a delicate and soft figure. The feeling of holding her in my arms makes one's soul float.
but!
There are many beautiful women in the world, but there are none in the palace. There is a beauty pageant every three years, and the general election will be held at the beginning of next year. Can't you find a beauty like this?
It's impossible not to find...
It's just that he never took women seriously before.
If she wanted to find one, she would definitely find a woman who was more sensible than her and whose heart and eyes were filled with him.
Xuan Ling lowered his beautiful eyes to hide the slight ripples in his eyes, and glanced at her with a cold and distant look, without any extra emotion.
Sheng Xiyan met his indifferent gaze, tears welled up in her almond-shaped eyes, and she lay on his chest again, touching him with her little hands while sobbing.
"Your Majesty, what will it take to calm your anger? ... Yesterday, I should have drowned this concubine in the lake... You even made Your Majesty sick..."
Eunuch Fu took a sneak peek in the flower hall. It was hard not to hear what was going on. He was wondering, the emperor usually hated noise, so why hadn't he sent Miss Sheng away today? Wasn't her whining considered noise?
Xuan Ling cast a cold glance at the red mark on her neck with his dark eyes. Such an ignorant woman deserved to be bitten to death.
Sheng Xiyan thought that Emperor Xuanwu had not driven her away yet, and it seemed that her whimpering trick was very effective. She reached out her hand to his cheek and rubbed it more and more wantonly.
. . . . .
Outside the hall, Commander Xue and Concubine Liang came together and bowed respectfully behind the screen.
"Your Majesty, I have compiled a list of all the people who were at Yuhu Bridge the day before yesterday. Please review it."
Eunuch Fu took the list and presented it to Xuan Ling behind the screen.
Xuan Ling quickly scanned the names of these people, and Sheng Xiyan leaned over to look.
Concubine Liang said, "Your Majesty, after two days of investigation, I have identified a very suspicious person."
Xuan Ling asked, "Who is it?"
"It was Yun Guirong. I suspect her for two reasons. One is that she once had a conflict with Sister Sheng, and she scolded Sister Sheng for removing her eyebrows, saying it was unjust and unforgivable. This was her motive. The other is that she was indeed at Yuhu Bridge on the Dragon Boat Festival."
Commander Xue said, "My humble servant has investigated and learned that a palace servant pointed out that Yun Guirong was indeed standing behind Young Master Sheng at the time."
Xuan Ling also thought of one thing. Once when Yun Guirong was serving in the Yangxin Palace, she was stripped of her green card because she said something bad about Sheng Xiyan. This must be the reason why she hated Sheng Xiyan.
Wei Yan said: "Pass on my oral order, Yun Guirong, be beaten to death."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xuan Ling said, "Liang Fei has done well to atone for her crime this time."
Concubine Liang quickly said humbly, "This is what I should do."
Xuan Ling continued, "After Concubine Shu recovers, have her help you manage the six palaces until the Empress gives birth."
Concubine Liang took a deep breath. It was fine. After all, she had made such an effort and was not pushed down. "Your Highness, I will obey your command."
