Yuan Yao looked up and saw a purple-clad eunuch, sweating profusely and with a flushed face.
Feng Xun asked in surprise, "Why are you shouting like that? What happened?"
The eunuch in purple wiped his sweat and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness, Consort Xing... Consort Xing has disappeared!"
The Emperor is furious!
"What?" Feng Xun was slightly surprised: "What exactly is going on?"
"This servant...this servant didn't know either!" the purple-robed eunuch said anxiously, "Tomorrow is His Majesty's birthday banquet."
Without Consort Xing managing things, the palace is in chaos!
The Emperor was already in poor health, and his outburst of anger triggered a relapse of his heart condition...
The First Prince is currently under house arrest, and the Second Prince has gone with men to look for Consort Xing. Third Prince, why don't you go and see the Emperor?
As he spoke, the eunuch stamped his foot in frustration.
Feng Xun pondered for a moment, then said to the eunuch, "Let's go to Lan Yue Palace!"
They were stopped before they even left the house.
After gesturing, Xie Zhi, covered in sweat, came in from outside the courtyard.
Upon seeing the eunuch in purple, Xie Zhi raised an eyebrow: "This eunuch looks familiar."
The eunuch in purple robes bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am Hong Shi, and I serve the Emperor. Hong Ping is my godfather."
Xie Zhi nodded and asked with a smile, "Eunuch Shi, why are you sweating so much? What serious thing has happened?"
"Ah? This..." Eunuch Shi wiped his sweat, hesitating to speak.
The disappearance of a palace concubine is a serious matter!
This kind of thing really shouldn't be publicized.
Otherwise, the entire Xiqiu royal family will lose face!
For a moment, Eunuch Shi was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Xie Zhi became even more curious: "What exactly happened? Is there something you can't tell me?"
suddenly……
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"
Another shout rang out from outside the courtyard.
Hurried footsteps entered the courtyard.
A younger eunuch ran into the courtyard, his knees buckled, and he knelt down: "Your Highness, the Emperor has fainted!"
As I was leaving, I vaguely heard someone say that His Majesty vomited blood…
Yuan Yao: "???"
Has the emperor fainted?
He even vomited blood?
Is this a heart attack?
Will the birthday banquet turn into a funeral?
If Feng Nanqi dies, wouldn't it be a long time before he returns to Daqi?
no!
Feng Nanqi cannot die!
Yuan Yao said, "Feng Xun, I'll go with you!"
She has to go and see.
If Feng Nanqi really can't be saved, she'll run away immediately!
Otherwise, once Consort Xing returns and Feng Huan ascends to the throne, they won't be able to escape...
Having made up her mind, Yuan Yao disregarded the difference between men and women and tugged at Feng Xun's sleeve: "Let's go!"
Feng Xun pursed his lips: "Princess..."
Huairou walked over and said, "I'll go with you."
Feng Xun frowned slightly: "Huairou, you wait here."
Huairou shook her head at him and said softly, "In a way, His Majesty the Phoenix is also my uncle. Since my uncle is ill, it is only right that I go to visit him."
Uncle...
Upon hearing this word, Feng Xun pursed his lips slightly.
The young eunuch knelt on the ground and urged, "Your Highness!"
Feng Xun immediately said, "Let's go."
"I'll go too," Xie Zhi said. "I'm older than you, so if anything happens, I can protect you."
They had all considered the worst possible outcome.
Feng Xun nodded: "Okay."
Xie Zhi said to the little eunuch on the ground, "You wait here. When the other princes return from their sword practice, tell them that they are not allowed to go anywhere."
Did you understand what I, the Crown Prince, said?
The young eunuch nodded: "I...I understand..."
Xie Zhi smiled, then suddenly bent down, picked up Yuan Yao, and said to Feng Xun and Huai Rou, "Let's go to Lan Yue Palace."
Suddenly feeling weightless, Yuan Yao cried out, "Xie Zhi, put me down!"
She's capable of walking on her own, why carry her?
Xie Zhi chuckled and ruffled her hair: "Your legs are short, so if I carry you, we can run faster."
If we're too slow, it might be too late.
Yuan Yao: "..."
She looked down at her legs.
Actually, it's not short at all!
Over the past two years, her short legs have been quietly growing!
Jingyue Pavilion is not far from Lanyue Palace.
A group of people ran very fast.
The atmosphere at Lan Yue Palace was heavy and somber.
As soon as Yuan Yao stepped into the bedchamber, she felt a chill run down her spine.
In Feng Nanqi's bedroom, all the gauze curtains were drawn.
Even beside the bed, a screen was erected to block the view.
Inside the sleeping quarters, calming incense burned.
The incense had a very faint smell of blood mixed in.
Sparse light shone through the cracks in the windows and through the gauze curtains, making the entire bedchamber appear shrouded in mist.
It's a bit eerie.
My nose is so itchy!
Yuan Yao pinched the tip of her nose and sniffed.
Achoo!
A sneeze broke the eerie atmosphere.
Yuan Yao opened her mouth in pain.
She didn't sneeze!
Beside her, Huairou asked worriedly, "Feng Xun, are you alright?"
Achoo!
Achoo...
Two sneezes, one short and one long, rang out simultaneously.
Yuan Yao: "..."
The long sneeze was from her.
Xie Zhi looked at her in confusion: "Xiao Yao'er?"
"Ah..." Yuan Yao looked up: "Achoo..."
Xie Zhi quickly raised his sleeve to cover his face: "Xiao Yao'er, what's wrong with you?"
Yuan Yao: "Achoo..."
This is insane!
It seems she had an allergic reaction to the incense!
Her nose was itchy and painful, and her nostrils were blocked. She was in so much discomfort that her eyes were watering.
Not only was she sneezing, but her nose was also running.
Waaah...
It's so painful!
This terrible allergy is so awful!
A handkerchief was handed to him.
Xie Zhi asked with concern and helplessness, "Xiao Yao'er, did you not sleep well last night? Did you catch a cold?"
“I…” Yuan Yao took the handkerchief.
She looked up and saw Feng Xun covering his nostrils with a handkerchief and turning his head to look at her.
In that instant, Yuan Yao's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.
Feng Xun from that angle looks strangely familiar...
At that moment, a figure hurriedly walked around the screen: "This old servant greets Your Highnesses!"
It's Eunuch Hong.
Eunuch Hong looked at Hong Shi beside him: "What are you standing there for? Quick, put out the incense!"
After speaking, Eunuch Hong glanced at Yuan Yao as if it were an unintentional gesture.
Yuan Yao stared wide-eyed.
Eunuch Hong withdrew his gaze and said, "His Majesty has fallen into a coma, and the imperial physicians are treating him."
"Your Highnesses, please wait outside the screen."
Huairou bit her lip and asked with concern, "May I ask, sir, how is Her Majesty the Phoenix?"
After a moment's hesitation, Eunuch Hong replied, "Reporting to Princess Huairou, His Majesty suffers from a chronic illness. Let's wait for the imperial physician to examine him."
wait?
Is this what uncertainty means?
"Okay." Huairou nodded.
Eunuch Hong bowed and returned behind the screen.
From behind the screen came an unfamiliar voice: "If Your Highness cannot stand this incense, please open the window and let some fresh air in."
Feng Xun said to the imperial physician, "Thank you very much."
The young eunuch hurriedly went to open the window to ventilate the room.
After the air was refreshed, Yuan Yao's nose finally felt much better.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
When I opened my eyes again, there was a dark shadow in front of me.
Feng Xun stood before her, his gentle face now showing a hint of solemnity: "Princess, may I speak with you in private?"
