Chapter 553 Don’t Go Anywhere
Usually, Xiao Xixi would sleep until three o'clock in the morning, but today she woke up before dawn.
Luo Qinghan had just gotten up and was changing his clothes. When he saw her crawling out of the bed, he asked, "Are you hungry? Or do you want to go to the toilet?"
Xiao Xixi looked at him blankly.
"I had a nightmare."
Luo Qinghan comforted him, "Dreams are always the opposite."
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "No, I usually don't have nightmares. Once I have a nightmare, it is very likely that something bad is going to happen."
Luo Qinghan's expression changed slightly.
If someone else said this, Luo Qinghan wouldn't take it to heart, but Xiao Xixi was different.
If she said something bad was going to happen, then it was going to happen.
Luo Qinghan waved everyone away.
He walked over to the bed and sat down, asking seriously.
"What kind of nightmare is this?"
Xiao Xixi tried hard to recall, but could only recall a distorted picture.
She couldn't remember anything about the dream.
The only thing she could remember was the prince crying in pain.
She had seen the prince in many different looks, but she had never seen him in so much pain that he cried.
But she had just seen it in her dream.
How bad could the situation be that could make the patient prince so sad that he cried?
Xiao Xixi felt very uncomfortable and her mood became depressed.
She lowered her head and grabbed her sleeves, whispering, "I don't remember it, it was just a bad dream anyway."
Luo Qinghan noticed that she was in a bad mood and raised his hand to touch her head.
"Don't worry, as long as you stay in Qingge Palace, nothing will happen. If there is any problem, you can ask someone to inform me. I will return to Qingge Palace after the court session. I will stay with you all day and will not go anywhere."
Xiao Xixi didn't say anything and still looked troubled.
Luo Qinghan was used to her heartless appearance, and this was the first time he saw her looking so depressed, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.
"How about I ask someone to ask for leave from my father? Just tell him that I'm not feeling well today and need to stay in the East Palace to recuperate. It's just a small court meeting anyway, so it won't affect anything if I miss it once."
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "That's not necessary."
Since she had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, it was bound to happen.
Even if the prince doesn't go out today, there's still tomorrow and the day after tomorrow...
It's impossible for him to stay at home all his life just to avoid disaster, right?
It's useless to just avoid it.
If you want to solve the danger, you have to find the root cause of the danger and prescribe the right medicine.
Luo Qinghan looked at her worriedly.
"I am worried about you, what if you encounter any danger?"
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "No, the one in danger is not me, but you."
Luo Qinghan felt relieved when he heard this.
He originally thought that something bad would happen to Xiao Xixi, and he was very worried.
Since it's his own words, then it's nothing.
He is no longer the poor and powerless prince of the past. Now he has grown stronger and has the ability to protect himself.
Even if he really encounters any trouble, he can solve it and it won't be a big problem.
Luo Qinghan comforted him: "Don't worry, I can protect myself."
Eunuch Chang stood outside the door and reminded, "It's almost time, Your Highness, we should go out."
Luo Qinghan stood up, bent down and kissed Xiao Xixi on the forehead.
"Be good and wait for me to come back home."
Xiao Xixi sat on the bed and watched him walk out.
When he reached the door of the room, she couldn't help but shout.
"Your Highness."
Luo Qinghan stopped and looked back at her, his eyes filled with the tenderness that he himself had noticed.
"What else?"
Xiao Xixi jumped to the ground, ran over barefoot, and hugged him.
"Can you come back early today?"
Usually when Luo Qinghan went out, she would curl up in bed and take a nap. She had never seen her look so dependent before.
Luo Qinghan felt very happy and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her on the lips.
"Well, I will come back to accompany you as soon as I finish my court session. You should stay in Qingge Palace and don't go anywhere."
Xiao Xixi nodded and said yes.
Luo Qinghan looked down at her bare feet, reached out, picked her up, and put her back on the bed.
"It's still early now. You can sleep a little longer. I should leave now."
Xiao Xixi watched him walk out of the room.
The door was closed, and the prince's back was completely isolated and could no longer be seen.
The bad feeling in Xiao Xixi's heart became stronger and stronger.
I am completely sleepy now.
She simply called Baoqin.
"I need to change and wash up."
Baoqin was very surprised: "Why did you get up so early today?"
Xiao Xixi didn't explain, just said that she couldn't sleep and wanted to get some fresh air.
Baoqin helped her put on her clothes with quick hands and feet.
After washing up, Xiao Xixi went to have breakfast.
While she was eating, she was thinking about the prince's affairs in her mind.
What kind of thing could make the prince so sad that he cried?
Xiao Xixi couldn't help but think of Shen Zhaoyi.
The prince sleepwalked several times in a row, all because of Concubine Shen.
And every time after sleepwalking, he would be in a very depressed mood, and he looked very uncomfortable.
Xiao Xixi felt that the only person who could make the prince cry was Shen Zhaoyi.
Shen Zhaoyi is already dead, and there is no way she can do anything to the prince.
It is very likely that someone wants to use Shen Zhaoyi to plot against the prince.
Xiao Xixi ate particularly slowly for breakfast today.
After waiting for her to finish eating, Baoqin couldn't help asking, "Madam, is today's breakfast not to your liking?"
Xiao Xixi came back to her senses: "No, it's quite to my taste."
"Then why do you feel so...uncomfortable when eating?"
Just now, Baoqin watched Xiao Xixi eating. She didn't look as happy as usual and seemed absent-minded.
Her appearance made Baoqin a little worried.
Xiao Xixi: "I was just thinking about something. It has nothing to do with the food you cooked."
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Baoqin didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Qingsong ran in quickly.
"Your Majesty, someone has arrived from Changle Palace."
Xiao Xixi was very surprised and didn't understand why someone came to Changle Palace. She said, "Let someone in."
The person who came was a female historian.
She bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Concubine. I am following the order of the Empress Dowager to ask you to go to Changle Palace."
Xiao Xixi didn't understand why the Queen Mother suddenly asked her to do it?
She met the Queen Mother only a few times, and they never spoke to each other.
It stands to reason that a big shot in the harem like the Queen Mother would not be interested in a small fry like her.
Xiao Xixi couldn't hold back her curiosity and tried to ask.
"I wonder what instructions the Queen Mother has given?"
The lady smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. The Queen Mother just wants you to come over and have a chat."
