Chapter 605: Questioning
In fact, their luggage was very simple, with only a few sets of clothes and a box of jewelry that Pei Qianhuo gave her.
She packed all these things, put them on her shoulders, and ran to the kitchen to get some dry food and water.
When she walked out of the kitchen with her bag, she happened to run into the orange cat squatting at the door.
The orange cat wagged its tail and meowed at her.
Xiao Xixi squatted down, reached out and rubbed it twice.
It felt so comfortable being touched that it rolled over on the ground, revealing its soft white belly.
Xiao Xixi was so touched by its cuteness that she rubbed its belly twice.
If conditions allowed, she really wanted to pack up the orange cat and take it away.
The orange cat seemed to know that she was leaving, and behaved particularly docilely and clingy, allowing her to touch it however she wanted, as if ready to be ravaged.
It was not until the prince came to call her that she reluctantly withdrew her hand.
"I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself. I'll come visit you again when I have the chance."
The orange cat stuck out its tongue and licked her finger.
Xiao Xixi stood up and walked away, looking back every few steps.
The orange cat meowed at her and then leaped onto the roof at a speed that was extremely inconsistent with its size.
It squatted on the roof, and because of its height, it could see far away.
It saw Xiao Xixi and her mate leaving Jingxin Garden together, and there were many other humans walking with them.
They got in the carriage and disappeared into the night.
The carriage was intercepted not long after leaving the imperial mausoleum.
There were about a hundred people on the other side. They claimed to be the emperor's subordinates and were ordered to guard the prince. Now that the prince had left the imperial mausoleum without permission and disobeyed the emperor's order, they had the obligation to capture the prince back.
There are only a dozen or so Yulin Guards around the prince.
There is a huge disparity in the number of people on both sides.
The other party had an absolute advantage and looked at the prince's carriage as if they were a lamb to be slaughtered.
The prince was not at all flustered. He still sat steadily in the carriage, calm and composed.
It seemed as if what was blocking his way was just a group of wild dogs.
"Zhao Xian, make it quick and don't waste time."
Zhao Xian's voice came from outside the car.
“Here!”
There were only Xiao Xixi and the prince in the car.
Xiao Xixi was holding a bag in her arms, which contained her luggage and dry food.
She took out a steamed bun from inside and just as she took the first bite, she heard the sound of weapons colliding suddenly outside.
This was followed by a shrill scream.
Xiao Xixi was so scared that her hands started shaking and she almost dropped the steamed bun.
The fight outside became more and more intense, with screams and curses coming one after another.
Even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you can imagine what a bloody scene it is outside just by listening to the sounds.
Xiao Xixi swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth with difficulty.
She put the remaining steamed buns back and had no appetite to eat them anymore.
Luo Qinghan pulled her into his arms and covered her ears with his thin and slender hands.
"Don't be afraid."
Xiao Xixi is actually not afraid.
But the feeling of being protected is not bad.
She leaned against him and whispered, "I just had a nightmare."
She described the scene in her dream.
Luo Qinghan listened quietly without any expression.
The noise outside gradually faded away.
He didn't speak again until it was completely quiet.
“My father suddenly became seriously ill.
This must be the work of Prince Xiling or the Qin family.
They will certainly seize this opportunity to seize power and usurp the throne.
Since ancient times, anything related to seizing power has inevitably been accompanied by killing and bloodshed. "
…
Inside the Weiyang Palace, people were in a state of panic.
The emperor was lying on the couch, his face as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.
He half closed his eyes and listened to the imperial doctors buzzing in his ears, without saying a word from beginning to end.
The empress dowager had already gone to bed, but when she heard that the emperor was vomiting blood and seriously ill, she was frightened and immediately put on her clothes and took a carriage to the Weiyang Palace.
As soon as she showed up, the imperial doctors, who were originally like headless flies, immediately shut up and knelt down in unison to greet her.
The empress dowager walked quickly to the bedside and was startled when she saw the emperor's dying appearance.
She called out "Emperor".
The emperor reluctantly responded, "Mother."
His voice was so hoarse that it made me feel even worse after hearing it.
She soothed the emperor with a few words in a gentle voice, then looked at the imperial doctors kneeling on the ground and spoke sternly.
"The emperor only suffered some minor injuries. You have been treating him for such a long time, but not only has he not recovered, but his health has deteriorated. Now he is even vomiting blood! Tell me, how did you treat the emperor?!"
The imperial doctors knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The Queen Mother has lived in the harem for many years and is well aware of the dirty things that happen in the palace.
The emperor's illness suddenly worsened, which was really strange. There must be someone behind it!
The Queen Mother pointed at the Imperial Physician and questioned him.
"You take the emperor's pulse every day, don't you notice that there's something wrong with his body?"
The imperial physician was terrified and sweating profusely: "When I took the emperor's pulse this morning, it looked like he was a little weak, but it's not a big problem. He will recover as long as he takes good care of himself."
"If the problem is not serious, why are you vomiting blood?"
The imperial physician trembled and said, "I don't know. He was fine in the morning, but why did his condition suddenly get worse at night?"
The Queen Mother looked at Gan Fu.
"Who is serving the emperor today?"
Gan Fu answered truthfully, "It was Concubine Hui."
The Queen Mother was about to send someone to summon Concubine Hui when she arrived first.
As soon as she entered the room, she bowed deeply to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
The Queen Mother asked in a deep voice: "How did you serve the Emperor? You actually served him to the point of vomiting blood?!"
Concubine Hui was complaining in her heart.
She didn't do anything extra and just followed the steps she used to serve the emperor. However, she didn't expect the emperor to suddenly vomit blood.
Now, no matter whether this matter has anything to do with her or not, she will definitely be punished in the end.
"Your Majesty's medicinal food is all tasted by a special person, and before Your Majesty eats it, I will taste it again. There is absolutely no problem with the food. As for why Your Majesty suddenly vomited blood, I really don't know."
The Empress Dowager knew that Concubine Hui did not have the courage to harm the Emperor, but the Emperor suddenly vomited blood right under Concubine Hui's nose, and the blame on Concubine Hui could not be removed.
She ordered immediately.
"Concubine Hui failed to take good care of the emperor, causing his condition to worsen. Someone, send her back to Yaohua Palace and lock her up for punishment!"
Concubine Hui's face turned pale in an instant.
But she didn't dare to beg for mercy, let alone cry out for injustice. She could only bite the bullet and kneel down, speaking with a trembling voice.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your grace."
When Concubine Hui was being escorted out of the Weiyang Palace, she ran into the King and Queen of England who were rushing over.
As soon as Luo Yechen saw Concubine Hui, he quickly walked over to her.
"Mother!"
