Chapter 692 Sleepwalking
This little noise in Yunxiu Palace soon reached the emperor's ears.
Luo Qinghan instructed Eunuch Chang.
"Send those two palace maids to the Ministry of Punishment and ask who told them to say those things."
"Yes."
Luo Qinghan has never believed that there are any absolute coincidences in this world.
Xiao Xixi happened to run into those two palace maids in Yunxiu Palace and happened to hear those words. It must be that someone arranged it secretly.
Just imagine, if Xiao Xixi was really a substitute, she would be furious after hearing those words, and she would definitely get angry with the emperor. If she got too angry, the relationship between the two would collapse.
The person behind this is despicable.
Luo Qinghan had just returned to Weiyang Palace when Xiao Xixi and Baoqin came back right after.
Xiao Xixi ran to Luo Qinghan and said excitedly.
"Your Majesty, I love Yunxiu Palace so much!"
Luo Qinghan: "As long as you like it."
Xiao Xixi began to describe her plan in detail.
When she was talking excitedly, she couldn't help but move her two little hands back and forth in the air.
Luo Qinghan listened attentively.
He looked at her and saw that her eyes were sparkling, as if they contained the entire midsummer starry sky.
He suddenly remembered that after learning that Xiao Xixi might not be alive, he was unwilling to accept this reality, so he went to Sanqing Temple in person and asked Taoist Tianyi to help perform a ritual to call her soul back.
Taoist Tianyi spoke to him in a calm tone.
"Your Majesty, people have many desires in life: greed for money, greed for power, greed for love, and greed for immortality.
Only by letting go of greed can we return to our true nature, see ourselves clearly, and no longer be burdened by the world. "
Luo Qinghan finally returned disappointed.
Looking at Xiao Xixi's lively face at this moment, he thought that what he coveted was just her.
If he doesn't even have this little bit of greed, what's the point of him living?
It was not until Mo Hua reminded him that dinner was ready that Xiao Xixi stopped talking.
During the meal, Xiao Xixi kept putting food into his bowl, muttering to herself.
"Your Majesty, I'm sure you didn't eat well while I was away, right?
This won’t do. It’s bad for your health. People need to eat well, drink well and sleep well while they are alive.
Look at me, how well I have taken care of myself!
You are nothing like me. You have lost so much weight in just one year."
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "I usually eat alone, so I don't have much appetite, so I don't eat much."
Xiao Xixi promised without hesitation: "It's okay, you have me in the future. I will eat with you every day. With me here, I guarantee that you will enjoy your meals and be in good health!"
Luo Qinghan smiled silently.
After dinner, Xiao Xixi hinted to him again that she wanted to stay and sleep with him.
Although she can't do anything beyond the line due to her current physical condition, at least she can still hug and kiss him!
Luo Qinghan hesitated for a moment, but finally pretended that she didn't understand anything and asked someone to send her back.
Baoqin came in with hot water and helped the imperial concubine wash up.
Seeing that the imperial concubine looked dazed, she asked with concern.
"What's wrong, madam?"
Xiao Xixi touched her face and asked uncertainly, "Do you think I look good now?"
Baoqin nodded without hesitation: "Beautiful! Very beautiful! No one can be more beautiful than you!"
In the eyes of a mother, her own cute baby is naturally the most beautiful baby in the world!
Xiao Xixi felt wronged: "Since I am good-looking, why doesn't the emperor want to keep me?"
She had hinted so clearly just now, she didn't believe that Luo Qinghan didn't understand.
But Luo Qinghan still had someone send her back.
Is she so unattractive in Luo Qinghan's eyes?
Baoqin was overjoyed when she saw that the imperial concubine, who had never been ambitious, actually knew how to win favor.
She actively helped and made suggestions.
"I definitely cannot guess what the emperor is thinking. If you are really confused, why not ask the emperor directly?"
Xiao Xixi hesitated and said, "It's not easy to ask this kind of thing, right?"
Baoqin: "I think that instead of you being distressed here secretly, you should ask the emperor directly for clarification. You and the emperor have been through so many ups and downs, and your feelings are definitely not comparable to others. You must have confidence in yourself and in the emperor."
Xiao Xixi was still hesitating.
Baoqin: "If you can make the emperor happy, our vegetable garden may be built sooner."
Xiao Xixi clenched her fists: "I have to have confidence, I can do it!"
Baoqin: "Come on, Madam!"
…
In the bedroom, Luo Qinghan had just laid down when he heard the eunuch's voice outside the door.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has gone to bed."
Xiao Xixi played dumb: "What did you say? I don't understand. I'm sleepwalking."
Young eunuch: “…”
It's amazing that you can still talk to people while sleepwalking!
The emperor's voice was heard from inside the palace.
"Let her in."
The young eunuch immediately made way and respectfully invited the imperial concubine in.
There was only one oil lamp lit in the bedroom.
Xiao Xixi moved towards the inner room cautiously.
Luo Qinghan had already lifted the quilt and sat up.
He stuffed the ring-shaped jade pendant in his hand under the pillow and asked Xiao Xixi.
"Why are you here?"
Xiao Xixi pretended to say, "I'm sleepwalking."
Luo Qinghan: "You are sleepwalking, how can you know where I am?"
Xiao Xixi: "Of course, even if I can't tell east from west, south from east, west from west, I will still go to the direction where you are."
Luo Qinghan was stunned.
Although he knew that these were her usual sweet words, his heartbeat still slowed down involuntarily.
Xiao Xixi took advantage of his distraction and quickly climbed onto his bed, lifted the quilt and got in.
When Luo Qinghan came to his senses, he found that she was already lying beside him.
Xiao Xixi closed her eyes: "I'm done sleepwalking, I'm going to sleep."
Luo Qinghan looked at her and finally sighed helplessly.
Forget it, just let her be.
At worst he won't sleep tonight.
He lay down, covered himself with the quilt, and turned sideways to look at the woman who was so close to him.
Just looking at her quietly like this made me feel extremely satisfied. Even the annoying cicadas outside the window became beautiful.
A small hand reached out and hugged his waist.
Then her head came closer and snuggled into his arms.
Luo Qinghan lowered his head, about to meet her lively almond eyes.
She blinked and said, "Why don't you sleep?"
Luo Qinghan: "I can't sleep, you go to sleep first."
Xiao Xixi: "Why can't you sleep? Is it because I disturbed you?"
"No."
Xiao Xixi: "Are you worried about something?"
Luo Qinghan: "No, I'm fine, go to sleep, good night."
Xiao Xixi was very dissatisfied with his evasive attitude and snorted.
"Good night, what good night? I wish you would miss me so much that I can't sleep at night!"
Luo Qinghan: “…”
