Chapter 132: Go to Weiyang Palace to Recuperate
Quan Minghe came out of the court, sat on the imperial carriage, and walked along the palace road. Halfway through, Xitong was already waiting there.
Seeing the imperial carriage approaching, she took a deep breath, stepped forward quickly, blocked the carriage, and knelt on the ground with a plop.
She shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, the maid Xitong from Yaohua Palace wants to see you!"
Quan Minghe was already in a bad mood, and when he saw the palace maid rashly blocking his way, he glanced at her coldly.
He said in a cold tone: "Take her away. If she dares to stop the emperor next time, she will be taken to the palace and punished with fifty strokes of the cane. I will not let her off lightly."
Li Ming on the side responded and waved his hand to signal two eunuchs to come forward and prepare to carry Xitong away.
Xitong cried and complained, "Your Majesty, this morning I went to help the Queen get up, but I found that she was burning hot all over, as if she was sick, but the Queen did not allow us to go and ask for the imperial physician, she said she only wanted to see Your Majesty."
"I really have no other options, so I can only ask Your Majesty, please go and see the Empress."
Quan Minghe's expression changed instantly, and he scolded: "How do you Yaohua Palace people serve your master!"
After that, without caring about anything else, he told Li Ming: "Go to Yaohua Palace."
Following his instructions, the imperial carriage changed direction and headed towards Yaohua Palace.
Along the way, Quan Minghe's expression was filled with an urgency that he himself did not even notice. As soon as the imperial carriage stopped in front of Yaohua Palace, he quickly walked towards the bedroom.
His footsteps were hurried, and his clothes fluttered.
As I stepped into the bedroom, I saw that Shen Yuning's cheeks were abnormally flushed, her eyes were closed, and her brows were furrowed.
He seemed to be suffering from illness and was in great pain.
"Where's the imperial physician?"
Quan Minghe couldn't help but let out a low growl.
Shen Yuning was drowsy. After hearing his voice, she opened her eyes with weakness in her eyes.
She forced herself to sit up in bed.
Quan Minghe walked to the bed and sat down, reaching out and holding her in his arms.
Shen Yuning said weakly, "I don't want the imperial physician to treat me. He has already sent me away."
"Nonsense, your whole body is burning hot, you are having a fever, are you trying to kill yourself?"
Quan Minghe felt distressed and angry, and couldn't help but blame him.
"If I can't see Your Majesty, what's the point of keeping this life? Your Majesty first confined me for three days, and now he's confined me for half a month. Will he confine me for a month or a year? Is Your Majesty tired of me?"
Tears welled up in Shen Yuning's eyes.
Quan Minghe looked down at her, feeling mixed emotions.
He was increasingly unable to tell whether what she said was sincere or false.
Sometimes, he felt that she seemed to be inseparable from him, and even had signs that she liked him.
But sometimes, I feel that she doesn't take me seriously at all, and the so-called love is just a superficial perfunctory attitude.
Just as he was thinking about it, Quan Minghe felt her arms around his waist getting tighter and tighter, as if she was afraid that he would leave her.
He looked closely at the expression on her face again. It showed some fear and nervousness, but it didn't seem fake.
Is she really scared?
Afraid of losing your own favor?
Quan Minghe stroked her arm and comforted her, "No, don't think too much."
"If I was tired of you, would I not do anything when your maid asked to see me? Would I rush over immediately after hearing that you were sick?"
"Since you are sick, just let the imperial physician come and see you. Don't be willful."
Kwon Myung Hyuk's voice softened a little.
"Your Majesty is my medicine. Since your Majesty has come, I feel much better. If I can stay with your Majesty, I believe my fever will go away soon."
Shen Yuning raised her head and looked at him, her eyes sparkling with thousands of emotions flowing through them, making people feel soft-hearted.
However, Quan Minghe frowned slightly.
His gaze fell on Shen Yuning. He looked down at her eyes, which did not show much fatigue. She looked energetic and in good spirits. Even the abnormal blush on her cheeks was visibly fading.
Quan Minghe's eyes became more suspicious.
After staring at her quietly for a long time, Quan Minghe suddenly pushed the person in his arms away.
He stood up suddenly, looked down at her, and said through gritted teeth: "Shen Yuning, are you sick or not?"
Shen Yuning was flustered for a moment.
"I am ill, Your Majesty. I feel anxious when I can't see Your Majesty."
She knelt beside the bed, stretched out her hands to hold Quan Minghe's right hand, then pulled his hand and placed it on her chest, raised her head, looked at him with eyes full of innocence.
"Your Majesty, please feel me and see if I am sick."
There was purity in her shiny black eyes, as if one could see through them at a glance.
But when she said this, she mentally prepared herself for the possibility of not being able to hold back her laughter.
Then all the previous efforts will be wasted.
Quan Minghe pursed his lips and did not pull back his hand for a moment.
He is hesitating.
I don't know whether I should just walk away and punish her severely, making her stay under house arrest for a longer period of time so that she will remember this lesson, or just go along with her wishes, put the matter behind me and lift her house arrest altogether.
Although Shen Yuning couldn't guess what Quan Minghe was thinking when he had a blank expression on his face, she knew in her heart that when Quan Minghe was silent, he was probably thinking something in his mind.
At that moment, I thought about pursuing the victory.
So she didn't care about anything else and got out of bed barefoot.
Standing in front of Kwon Myung-hyuk, he was too tall and she could only look up.
She said with a wronged look on her face: "If Your Majesty still wants to confine me, then just confine me to the Weiyang Palace. I can stay away from anywhere, but I cannot be away from Your Majesty."
Quan Minghe's eyes, which were originally as cold as ice, melted visibly when he heard these words.
There was a hint of inquiry in his tone: "You don't want to be confined, you just want to see me?"
"Well, I want to stick to your Majesty all the time. I can't leave your Majesty."
Shen Yu nodded seriously with a sincere look on his face, which made Quan Minghe no longer suspicious.
He lowered his head and looked at her carefully again, his eyes inadvertently falling on her bare feet. He frowned, leaned over and picked her up sideways.
"In that case, my Concubine Shen will go to Weiyang Palace to recuperate. When she is well again, she can return to Yaohua Palace."
Shen Yuning obediently reached out and hugged his neck, leaning slightly closer, her breath lingering in his ears: "I obey your order."
She just showed a hint of smug smile, but Kwon Myung-hyuk couldn't see it.
He held her in his arms and walked out, got on the imperial carriage, and headed all the way to the Weiyang Palace.
After arriving at the Weiyang Palace, he carried her into the bedroom, laid her on the dragon bed, and carefully told her to rest. Then he turned around and went to the front hall to handle government affairs.
After Quan Minghe left, Xitong came over and sat on the footstool beside the bed.
She lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness, I just told others that you need to rest well. I have already sent away all the palace servants in the bedroom. Should we start looking for the secret passage now?"
"On my way here just now, I carefully recalled the layout and location of Lingxi Palace, and compared it with the layout and location of Weiyang Palace. I thought that if there really is a secret passage, it must be either in your Majesty's bedroom or in the side hall behind the bedroom."
There was a thoughtful look in Xitong's eyes.
Shen Yuning also thought for a moment, and slowly said: "When Quan Minghe went to Lingxi Palace that day, he did not bring anyone with him, which means that he might have been planning to rest in the palace at that time, and Li Ming and other palace servants were not around."
"When he noticed someone breaking into Lingxi Palace, he rushed over by himself through the secret passage."
"Moreover, if Lingxi Palace is really where his Bai Yueguang lives, it would be most reasonable and convenient to set up a secret passage in the bedroom to facilitate the two of them to meet."
"Let's look in the bedroom first."
"Yes." Xitong responded.
Shen Yuning tapped Xitong's forehead with her finger.
"Make good use of your system's functions and check the design of the mechanism in your database. You don't have practical experience, but you must have a wealth of theoretical knowledge."
"There are still ten days until the winter solstice. Let's take our time to look for it."
