Chapter 558 Entering the Palace to Check the Prince's Pulse
Back at the inn, Lou Yishang looked at the envoys from the Western Regions.
"Why didn't you let me continue speaking just now? Lord Mu, do you think that I can no longer threaten you after arriving in Daxia?"
The envoy saluted towards Lou Yishang.
"When I came here, the king told me to pay more attention to the princess's marriage. Xu Qingye is already married, so he is obviously not suitable for the princess. Besides, he has no military power and his official rank in Daxia is not high. He can't help the Western Regions at all. The princess shouldn't make decisions for her own selfish reasons. She should find a man of noble status to marry."
Lou Yishang looked unhappy.
"It seems that Master Mu has already chosen one for this princess."
The envoy bowed to Lou Yishang again.
"The Great Xia Emperor is in his prime, and the princess is young and beautiful. If she wins his favor and gives birth to an heir, the Western Region can mobilize the entire clan to assist him in ascending the throne."
Lou Yishang sneered.
"And use my son as a puppet of the Western Region?"
The Emperor of Daxia has three thousand beauties in his harem. What kind of beauties is not there?
Even if she entered the harem, he would only be a temporary novelty. She didn't want to fight with so many women in the palace and get hurt.
Lou Yishang looked at the envoy.
"Which instruction is from my father or my uncle? Lord Mu, I am not stupid. Even if you don't tell me, I know it very well."
"Princess, I didn't..."
Before the envoy could finish his words, Lou Yishang interrupted him harshly.
"Whether it's true or not, there's no need to talk about it anymore!" She said solemnly, "I have come all the way to Daxia to marry, which is already a sacrifice for the Western Regions. If you can't do what I want, then you can take my body back to the Western Regions."
…
Xu Wencheng returned home at 9:00 p.m.
As soon as I entered the yard, Song Yuntang was leading Hao Ting to play on the swing in the front yard.
The child was swinging and shouting excitedly.
"Mom, higher, higher."
The scene was extremely warm.
Xu Wencheng walked towards the mother and son with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, Hao Ting, I'm back."
When Song Yuntang saw the visitor, his face showed joy.
"Wencheng is back."
The young man's eyes and brows became much more stable. Perhaps it was because he had experienced fighting on the battlefield, but there was a hint of murderous aura about him.
Song Yuntang was not afraid.
Hao Ting probably had no impression of this second uncle. When he saw him, he was a little scared at first. After getting down from the swing, he went straight into Song Yuntang's arms.
Song Yuntang squatted down to comfort her.
"Hao Ting, this is my second uncle, hurry up and call someone."
When Xu Haoting heard that it was his second uncle, he looked in his direction curiously.
Xu Wencheng smiled, stepped forward and took the child into his arms.
"It's not like Second Uncle hasn't held you before, what are you afraid of?"
Hao Ting pouted.
"Hao Ting doesn't want his second uncle, Hao Ting wants his father."
"Hey!" Xu Wencheng looked at him with a smile, "You don't even want your second uncle? Do you know what you are talking about?"
Seeing that Hao Ting was about to cry out of fear, Xu Yongwang and Jiang came over and took Hao Ting away.
"Don't scare the child, you little brat. You'll have nightmares at night."
After Xu Wencheng's hands were free, he was about to say something to Song Yuntang when he suddenly saw Rendong enter the front yard.
"Madam, someone is coming from the palace."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Chihai walked around the screen wall.
He bowed to Song Yuntang.
"Princess Le'an, His Majesty has asked me to take you to the palace to check the eldest prince's pulse."
Song Yuntang frowned.
"Isn't the eldest prince's condition under control?"
Fan Chihai nodded.
"I don't know what's going on. Please ask Lady Le'an to go with me."
The matter is urgent. Originally, I thought that Xu Wencheng and Xu Qingye would be back today, so I won't dress as casually as usual. There is no need to change clothes now.
"Xia Ning, go to the main courtyard and bring me my medicine box."
Xia Ning said yes and turned to get the medicine box.
Xu Wencheng looked at Song Yuntang, pursed his lips, and looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Song Yuntang saw that he seemed to have something to say.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Wencheng felt that he had to tell Song Yuntang about this news so that she would be more cautious when moving around in the palace.
"During the morning court today, His Majesty received Princess Lou Yishang from the Western Regions. She persuaded His Majesty to allow her to choose her own husband. Sister-in-law may encounter some troubles. You must be more careful when you go to the palace."
Song Yuntang knew what was going on.
It seems that the person that Lou Yishang likes is related to Xu Qingye.
"I see."
No matter what the princess thought, she had to go to the palace to check the eldest prince's pulse.
The eldest prince is the grandson of her adoptive father and mother, so she naturally cannot sit idly by.
…
When they arrived at the palace, Song Yuntang was taken by Fan Chihai directly to Yuqing Palace.
Yuqing Palace has always been the residence of the future crown prince. Ever since the eldest prince recovered from his illness, the emperor arranged for him to live here. He no longer protected him in everything like before, but slowly let him deal with the intrigues in the palace on his own.
Although he has not yet been named crown prince.
The intention is self-evident.
As a result, the concubines in the palace have been very active in the past year.
Although the emperor did not help the eldest prince, he knew exactly what was happening around him.
Song Yuntang arrived at Yuqing Palace. As soon as he entered the palace gate, he heard one or two coughs coming from the direction of the main hall.
She raised her brow.
You shouldn't.
The eldest prince's old illness had clearly been brought under control, and he was much stronger than before, so why did he start coughing again?
Could it be that I have been studying hard recently and haven’t taken good care of my health?
Or is it because of the large temperature difference between day and night recently, and you caught a cold?
Fan Chihai bowed towards the main hall.
"My Lord, I am here on His Majesty's orders to summon Princess Le'an to the palace to take your pulse."
Li Xi'an's weak voice came from the hall.
"My body is fine, but my aunt is not feeling well right now, so it's better not to let the illness get to her head. There are imperial doctors in the palace to treat her. Eunuch Fan, please send my aunt back first. I will speak to my father later."
Ever since the Tang family adopted Song Yuntang as their adopted daughter, Li Xi'an began to call her aunt.
Appear more friendly.
"Oh, my prince."
Fan Chi was in trouble on the sea.
"Your Majesty specifically ordered me to invite Princess Le'an to the palace to treat you. Now that the Princess has not yet treated you, how dare I send her back?"
After hearing this, Song Yuntang also took a step forward.
"I'm here now, please let me take a look, Prince."
Otherwise, she would be worried if she just went back home like this.
After a short while, the door of the hall was pushed open by Yixian, and Li Xi'an walked out of the hall wrapped in a thick cloak.
The boy's face was pale and his lips were bloodless.
He held the door with one hand and raised the other hand from time to time to cover his mouth and cough, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.
"I just caught a cold. There are imperial doctors in the palace to treat me. It's nothing serious. Aunt's health cannot be any worse. It's better not to stay in Yuqing Palace any longer."
Song Yuntang looked at him with a gentle expression.
"It's okay. I'll make you some medicine to prevent colds. You're so seriously ill. If I don't check your pulse before leaving today, I'll feel uneasy even if I go back."
