Chapter 694 Love
The Empress Dowager warned word by word.
"I asked you to come to the palace so that you could bring honor to the Lu family, not so that you could play these tricks.
This time, considering that this is your first offense, I won't bother with you.
If you dare to do it again, you will be in trouble."
Concubine Lu cried and said, "I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again."
When the Empress Dowager saw that she was frightened and crying, she calmed down a little and had someone help her up.
The lady brought some warm water and asked Concubine Lu to wash her face.
Concubine Lu tidied herself up quickly, but her eyes were still red.
The Empress Dowager slowed down her tone and said, "This incident should be regarded as a lesson for you. Don't act impulsively in the future."
Concubine Lu nodded honestly: "Thank you for your teachings, I understand."
The Empress Dowager: "Instead of spending your time worrying about how to deal with others, you should spend more time on the Emperor."
Speaking of this, Concubine Lu felt even more depressed.
"The Emperor never comes to Liuyunxuan, and never summons me. Without the Emperor, I have no place to display my skills even if I have all the tricks I can."
The Empress Dowager said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival will come soon. I will call the Emperor over then. You should come and keep me company."
Concubine Lu's eyes lit up: "Yes!"
After seeing Concubine Lu off, the female historian returned to the palace and saw the Empress Dowager with a worried look on her face, so she asked hurriedly.
"What's wrong, madam?"
The Empress Dowager sighed, "I am really worried. I thought Concubine Lu could bring honor to the Lu family, but now it seems that it would be good enough if she doesn't hold us back."
The lady consoled him, "Lu Jieyu's temper is indeed a little impetuous, but she is still young. If you put more effort into it, you should be able to teach her well."
"I hope so."
That night, two palace maids died in the Ministry of Punishment.
It is said that he could not bear the punishment and died by hitting his head against the wall.
Soon the body was sent out of the palace for disposal.
When Luo Qinghan heard this, there was no change in his expression, he just said calmly.
"The Ministry of Punishment failed to supervise the prisoner properly, which gave him the opportunity to commit suicide. The chief will be fined three months' salary. If something like this happens again, he will be charged with dereliction of duty."
“Here!”
Zhao Xian took the order and left.
The matter seemed to have been covered so easily.
The reconstruction of Yunxiu Palace officially started.
Baoqin had to take care of the imperial concubine and run to Yunxiu Palace to supervise the work from time to time, and she was so busy that she was dizzy.
She offered.
"My queen, why don't you call Xing'er and Qingsong back?"
With their help, she should be able to feel much more relaxed.
Xiao Xixi nodded without hesitation and said yes.
She hadn't seen Xing'er and Qingsong for a long time and she missed them very much.
She asked, "Do you know where Xing'er and Qingsong went?"
Baoqin: "Qingsong went to the Palace Department after leaving Qingge Palace. I don't know where he was sent to now. I need to ask someone. Xing'er is married and is not in the palace now. If you want to see her, you have to call her back."
Xiao Xixi was shocked: "Xing'er is married? Who did she marry?"
Baoqin: "One of the guards in Yulin Guard is named Xiaonan."
Xiao Xixi felt that the name was very familiar. After thinking for a while, she finally remembered that this was the little guard who escorted them south to pray for rain!
She asked curiously, "Why did Xing Er become a couple with him?"
Baoqin told the whole story.
"After you left, the emperor had the Qingge Palace sealed.
All the people in Qingge Palace were sent back to the Palace Province, and then redistributed according to need by the Palace Province.
Only Xing'er is different.
Her indenture is still in your hands. Once you leave, she will become a masterless slave.
According to the rules, she was to be resold.
It was at that time that Xiao Nan stepped forward, paid money to redeem Xing'er, and later returned the indenture contract to her and helped her to end her slavery.
Xing'er was grateful to him and served him wholeheartedly.
As time goes by, feelings naturally develop.”
Xiao Xixi suddenly realized that this was what was happening!
She scratched her head and said, "It's my fault for not being thoughtful enough. I forgot to return the contract to her. In fact, the contract is in Qingge Hall. You can find it if you look for it."
Baoqin: "After you leave, the emperor will not allow anyone to touch the things in Qingge Palace. Anyone who disobeys will be punished by death."
That afternoon, Baoqin went to the Palace Province in person. After some inquiries, she learned that Qingsong had been transferred to the Yanyu Palace.
Misty Rain Palace is the territory of Concubine Bai.
When they were still in the Eastern Palace, there was a conflict between Concubine Bai and Concubine Xiao, and the relationship between the two was very bad.
Now that Qingsong has gone to Yanyu Palace, I wonder if he will be bullied?
Baoqin returned to Weiyang Palace and reported the matter to the imperial concubine.
"Not long ago, a talented lady named Yan was recruited to the Misty Rain Palace, and they were short of people, so Qingsong was transferred there."
Xiao Xixi: "When you have time, go see Qingsong and ask him what he thinks. If he wants to stay in Yanyu Palace, let him do it. If he wants to come back, I will ask the emperor for help."
Baoqin nodded and said yes.
…
After reviewing today's memorials, Luo Qinghan came out of the imperial study and rode the dragon chariot back to Weiyang Palace.
When passing by the Imperial Garden, suddenly a woman ran out chasing a butterfly.
She caught a glimpse of the imperial carriage not far away and was so frightened that her face turned pale, her foot twisted, and she fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, three more people ran out from the imperial garden.
They originally wanted to help the woman up, but when they saw the imperial carriage not far away, two of the palace maids immediately knelt down, leaving only one woman standing.
She bowed quickly.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty."
Luo Qinghan took a quick glance and recognized that the woman standing was Yan Cairen, and the one who had fallen before was Shao Liangren.
Shao Liangren sprained his foot, but he couldn't care less at the moment.
She gritted her teeth, stood up, and knelt to greet him.
"I was rude just now, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Because of the pain in her ankle, her eyes were slightly red and her face was pale, but she insisted on gritting her teeth and holding on, looking even more pitiful.
Luo Qinghan said lightly.
"No need to be polite."
When Shao Liangren stood up, she swayed slightly. The palace maid Baofu beside her hurriedly supported her and asked in a low voice.
"My dear, are you okay?"
Shao Liangren bit his lower lip and said, "It's okay. I can still hold on."
When Concubine Yan saw her like this, how could she not know that she was deliberately pretending to be strong to win the emperor's favor?
Yan Cairen was so angry that her teeth were itching, secretly cursing the little bitch for being shameless, but she had to pretend to be a loving sister and asked her about her concern.
"If you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest."
Shao Liangren first glanced at the handsome emperor sitting in the dragon chariot, then lowered his eyes, his voice trembling slightly.
"My feet hurt so much that I can't walk."
Baofu asked anxiously, "Did you hurt your bones?"
Yan Cairen immediately understood Shao Liangren's thoughts. This woman wanted the emperor to send her back.
She was afraid that the emperor would fall into the trap, so she subconsciously looked at the emperor.
But the emperor still looked cold and indifferent, and his voice was icy cold.
"Since the bones are injured, send him out of the palace. The palace does not want to keep disabled people."
…

Luo Qinghan: I, the emperor, have no feelings!
