Chapter 559: Dare not discuss matters of the court
Li Xi'an felt warm in his heart.
Except for his father, everyone in the palace wants to kill him.
Fortunately, his aunt loves him.
In the past year, whenever she learned that he had a headache or fever, she would ask for permission to come to the palace to see him, for fear that his condition would worsen.
His mother died shortly after giving birth to him.
As far as he can remember, he has never experienced maternal love.
But I felt a little bit of this from this aunt who was not related to me by blood.
Li Xi'an made a gesture to invite people into the hall.
"In that case, please come in, aunt."
Song Yuntang entered the hall and took Li Xian's pulse.
"It is indeed a cold, but the eldest prince has a special body, so even if it is just an ordinary cold, it must be taken seriously." Turning to look at him, "Has the eldest prince been craving for coolness recently?"
At one side, the eldest prince's attendant Yixian muttered softly.
"How can it be that he is greedy for coolness? It is obvious that he was harmed by someone."
Li Xi'an glanced in Yixian's direction, then turned to look at Song Yuntang, "Actually, it's just some minor conflicts. It's also my own fault for being careless. It's not as exaggerated as Yixian said."
His father arranged him to live in Yuqing Palace, found a teacher for him, and personally took charge of his studies. He naturally understood his father's thoughts.
Since ancient times, the road to succession has always been full of blood and gore.
This is just the beginning.
Song Yuntang did not ask in detail what had happened.
Given how much care the emperor took for the eldest prince, it was impossible for him not to know what the eldest prince had been through.
Since he, as a father, didn't say anything, she naturally couldn't do anything about it.
But Li Xian himself had a disease that he had acquired from his mother.
If other people catch a cold, they will gradually get better after resting for a few days, but if he catches a cold, he may lose his life if he is not careful.
Where could that be the little contradiction he was talking about?
The other party clearly wanted to kill him.
Song Yuntang took out a bottle of homemade pills from the medicine box, wrote down a prescription and gave it to Yixian.
"Prepare the medicine according to this prescription, boil it and give it to the eldest prince for a medicinal bath to drive away the cold, and combine it with my pills. He should be able to get better in about seven days. The weather is getting colder now, so don't catch a cold again. If you have any symptoms during your recovery, be sure to find the imperial physician for treatment, or send someone to find me at the Xu Mansion. As long as I'm free, I will come."
Li Xian turned his head to the side, covered his mouth and coughed a few times.
He turned to look at Song Yuntang with gratitude on his face.
"Thank you, aunt."
Song Yuntang shook his head.
"Since the eldest prince calls me aunt, there is no need for him to be so polite to me. I have already explained everything that needs to be explained. It is getting late. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
Fan Chihai bowed to Song Yuntang.
"It's almost dinner time now. It will be 3 p.m. by the time Princess Le'an returns to Xu's residence. Now that the eldest prince calls the princess aunt and you are still pregnant, why don't you deal with it here with the eldest prince?"
Li Xi'an didn't understand Fan Chihai's purpose in keeping Song Yuntang. When his aunt came to the palace in the past, sometimes it was time for dinner, but he never asked her to stay for dinner.
Fan Chihai is my father’s man.
Is this what father meant?
But he usually eats alone, but today he won't feel lonely with his aunt by his side.
He looked at Song Yuntang.
"If my aunt doesn't mind, Xi'an will have someone serve the meal."
Song Yuntang thought about it.
"Okay, sorry to bother you then."
If you go home at this time, you will definitely be hungry on the way.
She couldn't stand being hungry in the first place, and especially not when she was pregnant.
…
After lunch, I suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the hall.
"Princess Le'an, is the emperor's health in danger?"
Hearing the voice, Fan Chihai hurriedly stepped aside and bowed to greet them.
Song Yuntang stood up and bowed to the visitor.
"Your Majesty."
The emperor raised his hand and said, "No need to be so polite, county lady."
Then sit down in the main seat.
Li Xi'an stood up with Yixian's help.
"Your son pays respect to His Majesty, Father."
The emperor waved his hand.
"You are not in good health, so you don't need to pay attention to these etiquettes."
Song Yuntang bowed to the emperor.
"The eldest prince's body is different from that of ordinary people. Ordinary people can recover from a cold in a few days, but the eldest prince needs to spend double or even several times as long to recover. If he is not careful, he may even die. I have just prescribed medicine for the eldest prince. He should be able to get better in a few days."
Li Junyao nodded.
"How about this, Guanju Tower is next to Yuqing Palace. Since the prince's illness is so serious, for the sake of safety, I have ordered people to temporarily clean up Guanju Tower for Le'an County Lady to live in. When the prince recovers, I will let Fan Chihai personally escort Le'an County Lady out of the palace."
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Song Yuntang.
"What does Princess Le'an think?"
Song Yuntang did not expect that the emperor would let her live in the palace.
I have never stayed here before, no matter how late it is.
Li Xian looked at him.
"Father, my son's illness is not a problem. Lord Xu has just returned from the Western Territory. Let my aunt go back and reunite with Lord Xu."
Li Junyao looked in the direction of his son with a puzzled look on his face.
"My dear, don't you like your aunt to be closer to you?"
Li Xi'an said truthfully, "I am close to my aunt because she is good to me, but she has her husband and children. I cannot selfishly keep her by my side. This is unfair to her."
Li Junyao was silent for a moment before speaking again.
"Princess Lou Yishang from the Western Regions asked me for a favor today, saying that she wanted to marry Lord Xu and didn't even care that he had a wife. What does Princess Le'an think of this?"
Li Xi'an was a little surprised.
No wonder my father acted out of character today.
So this is the reason.
But Lord Xu doesn't seem like the kind of man who would abandon his wife and children. If the princess from the Western Regions insists on marrying him, what should my aunt do?
Thinking of the emperor's words just now asking her to stay overnight in the palace, he suddenly realized something.
Song Yuntang looked at the emperor and asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, does my husband agree?"
Li Junyao shook his head.
"No."
"That's it." Song Yuntang said, "I can't control what others think or feel. It doesn't matter what I think. What matters is how he treats this matter."
Li Junyao looked at her.
"What if he agrees?"
"If he agrees, I will ask to leave and stay away from him in the future."
Listening to her resolute words, Li Junyao suddenly felt that his understanding of her seemed incomplete.
Although she looks similar to the late queen, her personality is much stronger than hers.
On second thought, maybe it was because Qinxue was the queen and she had to consider the overall situation.
"Have you ever learned the female training and female precepts, Lady Le'an? You should know that if a woman is jealous, she will violate the seven grounds for divorce. If your husband's family divorces you, it will not be good for you."
Song Yuntang bowed.
"I come from the countryside, and have never learned any female training or rules. I have never asked my husband not to have a new lover, but I cannot tolerate any injustice in my eyes. The day he has a new lover, I will leave him."
The emperor's brows relaxed.
"Princess Le'an, what do you think I should do with this princess from the Western Regions?"
Song Yuntang saluted.
"I, as a subject-wife, dare not make irresponsible remarks on the affairs of the court."
"Forget it." Li Junyao looked at her, "Princess Le'an, please stay in Guanju Tower for now. When the prince gets better, I will let you go."
It is said that if a girl pursues a boy, it will be easy for her to succeed.
If the Princess of the Western Regions is really determined, I think there should be results in the next few days.
