Chapter 236: I was shocked and relieved

Xiao Jinyan remembered that last time Lu Zhaoyan held Xiaojiu's hand tightly, and now he wanted to read Xiaojiu's palm?

"Come here." His voice was a little deep.

Lu Zhaoyan did not doubt him, and took two steps forward to put his ear close to him. He only heard Xiao Jinyan say one word in a friendly voice, "Get lost."

"Okay." Lu Zhaoyan turned around and left subconsciously. When he reached the door, he realized something was wrong. Why did His Highness want to leave by himself?

He walked back with doubt in his eyes, and when he looked at Xiao Jinyan, his eyes were very serious, "Your Highness, I am serious."

Xiao Jinyan directly said to him: "I am serious too."

Lu Zhaoyan left the study with a sad face.

When he ran into Wei Chi on his way out, he let out a long sigh.

Wei Chi was very familiar with Lu Zhaoyan, so when he saw him sighing, he naturally asked, "Master Lu, what's wrong?"

Lu Zhaoyan said sadly, "Your Highness wants me to get out."

Wei Chi smiled and said, "Isn't this a normal thing?"

"You don't understand." Lu Zhaoyan sighed, turned around and wanted to leave.

Wei Chi held Lu Zhaoyan's shoulder and consoled him: "You must have said something that made His Highness unhappy. Just don't say it again next time."

Lu Zhaoyan: “…” Are you comforting me or blaming me?

He asked with a gentle smile: "Brother Wei, how about I tell you about your marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Chi generously extended his hand and said, "Okay, can you tell me when I can get married and have children?"

"Looking at marriages is my specialty, don't worry." Lu Zhaoyan lowered his eyes and looked at the lines on Wei Chi's palm. The more he looked, the deeper his frown became.

Wei Chi saw this and asked in confusion: "Master Lu, how is it?"

"I do have a wife, but..." Lu Zhaoyan was a little hesitant.

Wei Chi asked, "But what?"

Lu Zhaoyan said with difficulty: "Maybe I will never have children."

Wei Chi was completely stunned.

Subconsciously think that I am not good enough.

Chunxi thought that the new clothes should be ready, so she took some time to go to the garment factory.

Unfortunately, on the road, I ran into Huaixiang who was also there to pick up clothes.

When Huaixiang saw Chunxi, her eyes were full of disdain. If it weren't for Shen Liangdi, the young lady would not have been punished.

Chunxi also dislikes Huaixiang, and Chang Liangyuan has very bad intentions.

The two of them were competing with each other. They were both running at normal speeds at first, but it turned into a competition in the end.

By the time the two arrived at the garment factory, they were already out of breath.

Huaixiang asked first: "Eunuch Hua, I'm here to get my young mistress's clothes."

Chunxi followed closely behind: "Eunuch Hua, are my young mistress's clothes ready?"

Eunuch Hua glanced at the two people in front of him, and finally looked at Chunxi, and said with a smile: "Miss Chunxi, it's ready. I'll have someone bring it over now."

Eunuch Hua ordered the young eunuch to bring the clothes from the Hehuan Palace.

Huai Xiang was not a fool. Eunuch Hua's attitude towards her was completely different from last time. She said with some dissatisfaction: "Eunuch Hua, where are my young master's clothes?"

Eunuch Hua glanced at Huaixiang and his smile faded a little. "Miss Huaixiang, the clothes for Xinlan Palace will have to wait for a few days. They are not ready yet."

"Eunuch Hua, my young lady's clothes were clearly made first, how come the clothes in Hehuan Palace are already ready, but my family still has to wait for several days?"

Eunuch Hua's face darkened: "Miss Huaixiang has a bad memory. Last time, it was Miss Chunxi who came first, so naturally they should do it first."

Chunxi was a little surprised at first, but then she understood. The young lady in Xinlan Palace was not made the Crown Princess, but was demoted to a concubine. Eunuch Hua really took his snobbery to the extreme.

But it also makes me feel better.

The young eunuch brought new clothes and handed them to Chunxi with both hands.

Chunxi took a quick look at it, took it, said a few polite words, and turned away.

When she passed by Huaixiang, she snorted, turned around and walked away.

You smell so good, but isn't your little master a hen that doesn't lay eggs? What's so great about that?

Huaixiang returned to Xinlan Palace angrily.

As soon as I returned to Xinlan Palace, I saw Concubine Xu. Even if I hated her, I still had to put on a show of pretending to be nice.

She stepped forward and bowed, "Princess Xu."

Concubine Xu was a person who could not sit still. Whenever she had time, she would go to Xinlan Palace, swinging her handkerchief around her.

"Where's Chang Liangyuan?"

Huaixiang replied: "My young master is not feeling well and is resting."

"Really?" Concubine Xu walked away, waving her handkerchief.

Huai Xiang hurried forward to stop her, "Concubine Xu, my young master is really resting. Concubine Xu will come to visit next time."

Concubine Xu had long been fed up with Huaixiang taking advantage of her power, so she called out, "Caixia."

Caixia took two steps forward and grabbed Huaixiang.

Concubine Xu then stepped in and saw Chang Liangyuan sitting at the head of the bed. She looked much more energetic than in the previous few days.

"Chang Liangyuan, why are you sick?"

Chang Liangyuan understood clearly that Concubine Xu must have come here to laugh at her. Her mouth was more annoying than a crow.

"Concubine Xu, why are you here?"

Concubine Xu adjusted the peony hairpin on her temples and said arrogantly, "Chang Liangyuan also knows that I am a concubine? I thought Chang Liangyuan had forgotten the rules because she was under house arrest?"

The implication is that Liang Yuan must bow when she sees the concubine.

Chang Liangyuan paused. The palace was the place where rules and etiquette were most important. A higher rank could overpower people. She understood this better than anyone else.

Even though she didn't want to get out of bed anymore, she still threw back the quilt, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and saluted Concubine Xu.

Concubine Xu looked at Chang Liangyuan paying respect to her, feeling very proud. "Chang Liangyuan invited the sisters to attend the ceremony two days ago. It's not that the sisters didn't give her face, but the ceremony of conferring the title of Crown Princess was cancelled. What a pity."

After saying that, he sighed.

This incident was originally a scar in Chang Liangyuan's heart, and Concubine Xu sprinkled salt on her, so she was naturally unhappy.

"If Concubine Xu is alright, I'm going to rest now."

When Concubine Xu saw Chang Liangyuan looking angry and sad, her goal was achieved.

"Huai Xiang said you're not feeling well, so you should go see Doctor Yu."

After saying this, he swung his handkerchief and walked out.

Just as Chang Liangyuan breathed a sigh of relief, Concubine Xu stopped again and said, "Remember to find Doctor Zhao Yu, he's one of us, and he's considerate."

Chang Liangyuan shuddered when she heard that. After Concubine Xu left, she angrily swept away everything on the table and said viciously, "Concubine Xu, who do you think you are? I have my family to support me, and the Crown Princess is still mine. I'll show you how I'll deal with you when the time comes."

On his way back to the palace, Xiao Jinyan was suddenly attacked by an assassin.

The assassin was extremely skilled in martial arts, and both Wei Chi and Qin Xiao were no match for him and were seriously injured.

The assassin had a clear target and pointed his sword directly at Xiao Jinyan. His speed was as fast as lightning, making it impossible for anyone to dodge.

Xiao Jinyan barely dodged the long sword, but was injured by a hidden weapon.

Wei Chi shouted: "Your Highness!!"

The assassin left quickly after succeeding.

Xiao Jinyan was quickly sent back to the East Palace and sought treatment from Dr. Wen Yu.

Doctor Wen Yu tore open the clothes and saw black blood. Even the skin around the wound was black. His expression changed, "The hidden weapon is highly poisonous."
