Chapter 847 Wait and See
"I came to see you and tell you something."
As Xiao Xixi spoke, she looked at the desk and found that besides the writing brush, ink, paper, and memorials, there was only a cup of tea.
She couldn't help but ask, "Don't you eat snacks while you work?"
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "No."
When he was a child, he loved eating snacks like other children, but Queen Qin did not allow him to eat them.
Over time, he gradually developed the habit of not eating snacks.
Now that he is the emperor, no one can control him anymore and he can eat whatever he wants, but he has grown up and no longer has a desire for snacks.
Xiao Xixi found it incredible: "You have to review a lot of memorials every day, which requires a lot of brainpower. Logically, you should feel hungry easily."
Luo Qinghan still looked as calm as water.
"I don't feel hungry."
Xiao Xixi smacked her lips: "You are such a workaholic."
A lazy person like her who has no aspirations and just wants to live a life of idleness and wait for death will never understand the thoughts of a workaholic like him.
Luo Qinghan: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Xiao Xixi: "I just ran into Li Qingyan at the door. Judging from his appearance, he should be about to go on a long journey."
Luo Qinghan did not hide it from her and told her that he was sending Li Qingyan on a business trip to Fengyang County.
Xiao Xixi said: "He will probably encounter dangers on this long journey, and they are life-threatening dangers. If he is not careful, he will lose his life."
Luo Qinghan's expression changed slightly.
He immediately said, "I'll have someone call him back and send someone else to Fengyang County."
Xiao Xixi quickly called him.
"No, even if you change someone, you may not be able to avoid this danger. Besides, misfortune often brings blessings, and blessings often bring misfortune. This danger may not be all bad for Li Qingyan. Maybe it can bring some good changes."
Luo Qinghan: "What if he really dies on the road?"
Li Qingyan is a rare pillar of talent. Luo Qinghan wants to train him well and doesn't want him to lose his life so early, which would be a pity.
Xiao Xixi smiled and said, "I'll make a talisman later. You can have someone give it to Li Qingyan and have him carry it with him. The talisman should be able to save his life in a critical moment. As for other troubles, it depends on him. People have to go through difficulties and hardships to grow. Too much smoothness is not a good thing for him."
Luo Qinghan nodded, agreeing with her point of view.
What he wants is a pillar that can support the world, not a dodder that would fall down with the wind. Necessary sharpening is essential.
A young eunuch came in with a tray filled with freshly baked snacks.
Xiao Xixi smelled the fragrance and immediately waved at him.
"Come on, put your things here."
She pointed to the desk in front of her.
The young eunuch hesitated.
Everyone who served in the imperial study knew that the emperor never allowed anyone to place food on the desk.
The young eunuch secretly went to see the emperor's reaction.
Luo Qinghan said expressionlessly: "This is a desk, not a dining table. You can't put food on it. If you want to eat, go eat next to it."
Xiao Xixi made a face at him.
Luo Qinghan remained indifferent.
Xiao Xixi stood up, took two slow steps, and sat down behind the small table next to her.
The young eunuch immediately put the refreshments on the table.
Xiao Xixi was muttering to herself while eating.
"I don't know which eye of mine is blind. I could actually fall for such an unkind man like you."
The young eunuch who was about to leave overheard this and was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.
The Imperial Concubine is so bold. How dare she say anything? Isn't she afraid of the Emperor's wrath? !
However, the emperor did not seem angry.
He even took the initiative to explain.
"The desk is full of memorials. If the smell of food gets on it, it will be hard to explain if someone smells it."
Xiao Xixi humphed, accepting the reason he gave.
Seeing that the two were getting along well, the young eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and quietly left the imperial study.
Xiao Xixi said: "I went to the Misty Rain Palace today."
Luo Qinghan knew about this. She was invited to taste the peach blossom wine that Concubine Lao brought into the palace from her parents' home. Not only her, but other concubines in the palace also went.
Xiao Xixi then recounted the process of how Concubine Lao tested her.
After she finished speaking, Luo Qinghan's eyes had already darkened.
"Why would the concubine suddenly suspect you?"
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "I don't know."
She also thought it was strange.
Although Concubine Lao was full of hostility towards her before, she never thought that she was Concubine Xiao.
Now that Concubine Lao has suddenly changed her mind, there must be something fishy going on.
Luo Qinghan: "What are you going to do?"
Xiao Xixi: "Given Concubine Lao's hostility towards me, if she knew my identity, she would definitely try to trick me. You'd better send someone to keep an eye on her and see what she wants to do next."
Luo Qinghan: "We can strike first."
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "Don't do anything to her yet, just wait and see what happens."
She suspected that someone was guiding Concubine Lao behind the scenes, otherwise Concubine Lao would not have suddenly realized the truth.
She didn't know who was behind it.
Compared to the tuberculosis concubine, the person behind the scenes is the real hidden danger.
He is like a time bomb, and no one knows when it will explode.
Any rash action at this time might alert the enemy, so it is better to be patient and wait and see what the other party's purpose is. If you are lucky, you may be able to take the opportunity to catch the person behind it.
Luo Qinghan looked at her thoughtfully.
He suddenly said, "There's something I've always wanted to ask you, why don't you want to reveal your identity?"
Xiao Xixi did not answer but asked: "I came back as Princess Nanfeng. If my identity is exposed, wouldn't I be charged with deceiving the emperor?"
Luo Qinghan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her meaningfully.
Xiao Xixi smiled at him, then lowered her head and continued to eat the cake.
Luo Qinghan: "I can change you back to your original identity. Compared to the identity of Princess Nanfeng, the identity of General Xiao's eldest daughter is more suitable to become the queen of the Great Sheng Dynasty."
Xiao Xixi: "It's too troublesome to change my identity. I'm fine the way I am now."
Luo Qinghan: "As long as you agree, you don't need to interfere in anything. I will help you. It's just a matter of nodding your head for you. It's not troublesome at all."
Xiao Xixi looked around and said, "You are very busy now. There is no need to worry about such trivial matters. Instead of wasting your time on me, you might as well do more serious work. I heard that you have been busy with tax reform recently. How is the progress? Is it going smoothly?"
Luo Qinghan didn't respond to her words, but just looked at her steadily.
Xiao Xixi felt uneasy when being stared at.
She lowered her head to drink her tea, avoiding his gaze.
Luo Qinghan asked coldly.
"Are you hiding something from me?"
