Chapter 9
In the Daming Palace, Zhou Xuanqing had just finished reading all the memorials when the guards guarding the palace gate were pushed to the ground.
Zhou Xuanqing stood up and took a look, then saw Zhou Erlan walking in angrily.
"Why is Lan'er here?" Zhou Xuanqing stood in the pavilion and looked at Zhou Erlan and smiled, not caring about his unreasonable behavior.
When Zhou Erlan saw that Zhou Xuanqing's face looked normal and he didn't look like he was poisoned, her guess was confirmed. The imperial sister knew who was trying to assassinate her, and she had someone hit her with an arrow smeared with arsenic!
He hated the emperor's self-righteous attitude the most!
Zhou Erlan wanted to leave, but Mu Tou held his arm and whispered in his ear, "Prince, aren't you delivering cakes to the Emperor?"
Zhou Erlan was stunned after hearing this, and nodded stiffly. She looked at Zhou Xuanqing and said, "Royal sister, I just saw that the pastries in the pastry shop are good, so I brought some for you."
After Zhou Erlan finished speaking, Zhou Xuanqing waved to him. Zhou Erlan nodded and walked over with the cakes.
"Thank you, Lan'er. It's time for lunch. Would you like to have lunch together?" Zhou Xuanqing took the pastry in person, asked, and looked at him gently.
"Okay. My sister, please try the cakes first." Zhou Erlan said, then sat down on the stone bench and looked at the memorials on the table that had been annotated. He felt very uncomfortable. My sister had never treated him as the future emperor.
Zhou Xuanqing took out the pastry and took a bite. He was slightly stunned and then smiled.
"It's delicious. Thank you, Lan'er~"
Zhou Erlan felt even sadder when she saw that she had no reaction after eating the apricot blossom cakes.
The imperial sister lied to him. She was not poisoned by arsenic at all, otherwise she would have gotten a rash immediately after eating apricot blossoms!
After Zhou Xuanqing finished eating the cake, he took Zhou Erlan's hand and walked towards the main hall.
Tang Mitang looked at Zhou Erlan's face which looked very similar to Zhou Xuanqing and sighed, "Genes are indeed very powerful."
Before leaving, I took a look at the pastries on the table, smelled the scent of apricot blossoms, and my pupils dilated involuntarily.
Oh my God, has the struggle between the two siblings reached this point?
No way! It's been six years since Zhou Xuanqing ascended the throne! Fuck, it's May now. Didn't Zhou Xuanqing die in Nanshan this winter?
Fuck! This is all a trap! She just had a good meal and a good sleep! What should I do?
Tang Mitang anxiously followed the two men, glanced at the tall man walking with her, and sighed. They were both servants, but this wooden man became a general, while she became a lonely ghost!
Mu Tou heard a sigh and looked down at the short man beside him in confusion. Although he was not short and was about the same height as the emperor, why did he look so short?
Zhou Xuanqing took Zhou Erlan to sit at the dining table, picked up a spoon and personally poured him a bowl of soup.
"Have some lotus root soup first. The palace maids made it very well. It tastes like what I used to taste like when I was a kid~"
"Thank you, Imperial Sister." After Zhou Erlan finished speaking, she picked up the bowl, scooped a spoonful, and put it into her mouth.
Zhou Xuanqing looked at him, pursed his lips, and was about to say something to him when he heard Chang Xi's voice and frowned unhappily.
"Your Majesty, the Concubine Dowager and the little prince are here to visit you."
"Let them in." Zhou Xuanqing picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it on the plate, slowly picking out the fish bones.
Zhou Erlan ate the three dishes in front of her silently: Mapo Tofu, Fish-flavored Shredded Pork, and Lotus Root Soup.
"The emperor heard that you were assassinated. I was worried and came to see you." The concubine walked in and said with a worried look on her face.
"Yu'er greets the imperial sister and greets the imperial brother." Zhou Qiuyu saluted the two of them very respectfully.
Zhou Xuanqing nodded, glanced at the fish meat that had become a mess due to picking bones, looked at the concubine with a smile and said: "I am fine, thank you for your concern."
"That's good~ I feel relieved to see that the emperor is fine. I was afraid that the arrow shot by the thief at the emperor was poisonous. Now that I see that the emperor has a rosy complexion, I feel relieved." The concubine said as she saw Zhou Erlan's hand holding the chopsticks pause for a moment, and a smile appeared on her face. Today's goal was achieved.
"You are worrying too much, Concubine. I have a miracle doctor by my side. No matter what kind of poison it is, he can save me. Don't you think so, Tang Mi?" Zhou Xuanqing smiled and glanced at Tang Mi.
Tang Mitang's heart skipped a beat, a bit confused, and she kept complaining in her mind. She just wanted to be invisible, so why did the Devil Queen mention her name? And in front of the future boss!
Although she was full of complaints, she could only follow Zhou Xuanqing's words and said, "Yes, no matter what poison it is, I will cure it and will never let the emperor fall into such a desperate situation."
"Really? I never thought there was such a clever person around the Emperor?" The concubine said with a wry smile. She had never thought that the granddaughter left by the old doctor Tang would have such abilities! She had really underestimated her before.
"Yes, don't worry, Your Majesty. I wonder if you have had your meal. Do you want to join us? I haven't asked about Qiu Yu's homework for a long time. If you haven't had your meal, you can sit together and listen." Zhou Xuanqing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said to the Your Majesty with curved eyebrows.
Does this matter have anything to do with the Toffee? Oh, it's really lively.
The concubine was speechless and didn't know what to say. She didn't want to hear the emperor asking Yu'er about his homework at all. It made her feel that her son was a hopeless case!
When her sleeve was pulled, the concubine knew it was her son without turning around. This kid didn't study hard every day and even embarrassed her!
"Haha, really, if I had known that the emperor would have a late meal today, I would never have eaten so much with Yu'er. Seeing that the emperor is fine, I will go back to the palace first." After the concubine said this, she grabbed Zhou Qiuyu's wrist without waiting for Zhou Xuanqing to answer and walked outside.
This damn girl actually used a move on her!
Zhou Qiuyu followed the Concubine Dowager silently. He had to reduce his presence. His mother had lost face, so she would definitely use him to make amends!
"You little rascal, go back to the palace and study hard!" The concubine walked out of the Daming Palace and said to Zhou Qiuyu, with a stern look on her face.
Zhou Erlan glanced at Tang Midang, who was standing behind Zhou Xuanqing with his head down and not saying a word.
Miracle doctor?
It seems that I need to find Tang Mi.
