Xiao Xi raised his head and looked up at his deep dark eyes. His heart stopped for a moment.
But soon she returned to normal.
She blinked and said innocently.
"No."
Luo QingHan looked at her deeply.
That look seemed to be to see the bottom of her heart.
Xiao Xixi didn't avoid this time. He allowed him to look at himself and act very calm.
Luo QingHan: "I hope you haven't lied to me this time."
These words were very light, but Xiao Xi was caught in the heart.
The original sweet and delicious cakes seem not as sweet as before.
After leaving the imperial study, Xiao Xi returned to Yunxiu Palace by car.
She sent for doctor Fang.
Before long, Fang Wujiu came with the medicine box on his back.
Xiao Xi was lying under the grape trellis in the backyard, basking in the warm sun, with a round fan on her face.
At this time, the grape trellis has been covered with grapevines, and a string of grape flowers are mixed between the green branches and leaves.
Fang Wujiu put the medicine box aside and asked, "what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Xixi took down the round fan, sat up and looked at Fang Wujiu.
"Here you are. Sit down. I have nothing to do. I just want to ask you a favor."
Fang Wujiu sat down next to him and immediately a maid in waiting offered him chrysanthemum and medlar tea.
Xiao Xi waved his hand and motioned that all the people waiting next to him should step back.
Fang Wujiu took a cup of tea and asked Wen Sheng.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Xiao Xixi: "Fei Fei may already know my identity."
Fang Wujiu squinted: "do you want me to get rid of her?"
Xiao Xi shook his head: "you don't have to do anything about Princess Fei. I've told the emperor about it. He will make people stare at Princess Fei."
Fang Wujiu: "what do you want me to do?"
Xiao Xixi: "the emperor suddenly asked me why I didn't want to recover my identity today. I didn't tell the truth. I hope you don't tell me either."
Fang Wujiu: "are you going to keep it from him?"
Xiao Xi was silent.
She's acquiescence.
Fang Wujiu: "he is not a fool. Even if we don't tell him, he will find out by himself sooner or later."
Xiao Xi is still silent.
Fang Wujiu: "are you afraid that he will be angry when he knows the truth?"
Xiao Xi said in a muffled voice, "I know him. He may be surprised, but he shouldn't be angry with me because of this kind of thing."
Fang Wujiu: "in that case, why don't you hide it?"
Xiao Xi looked down at the round fan in her hand and spoke softly after a long time.
"If I confess to him, it is tantamount to making him my partner. I can't let him bear the crime of Patricide. As long as I don't tell him, even if there is an unfortunate incident in the future, it will be my own fault, which has nothing to do with him."
Fang Wujiu looked at her in a daze, and took a long time to slowly breathe out.
"Don't you think you're stupid?"
Xiao Xixi: "I believe if it were him, he would make the same choice."
Like a person, you will want to make him live better, not willing to let him suffer a little harm.
Fang Wujiu touched her head and sighed silently.
Xiao Xi looked at him eagerly: "can you promise to keep it a secret for me?"
Fang Wujiu reluctantly replied, "you are my younger martial sister. Naturally, I am on your side."
This is an agreement to help her.
Xiao Xi immediately smiled.
"Thank you, senior brother!"
That afternoon, the emperor sent Cao Nuo to give Li Qingyan three hundred liang of cash as a business trip allowance.
There was also a small amulet sent to him with the present silver.
Cao Nuo whispered, "Your Majesty asked Li Shilang for this amulet. It is said that it can ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters. I hope Li Qingyan can take it close to him. Don't lose it."
Li gently thanked Cao Nuo again and again, and personally sent Cao Nuo out of the house.
When he got back to his study, he took out the amulet from his sleeve and looked at the scarlet handwriting on the amulet. He always felt a little familiar.
He took off his purse and took out a transport token from it.
This transport token was given to him by concubine Xiao. He has been carrying it close to him for the past two years. Thanks to the blessing of this transport token, he is no longer plagued by bad luck and lives quite smoothly.
Li Qingyan put the amulet and the transport amulet together and carefully compared the handwriting on it. The more he looked, the more he felt similar.
These two things are likely to come from the same person.
Is this amulet left by concubine Xiao to the emperor?
If so, this amulet should be very important to the emperor, but the Emperor gave it to him.
Li Qingyan was greatly touched.
He was immersed in bad luck for the first twenty years of his life. He was depressed and frustrated. His life did not begin to change until he met the emperor.
The emperor's kindness to him was unforgettable.
He kowtowed seriously in the direction of the palace.
"I will live up to your Majesty's expectations when I go to Fengyang County!"
The next day, Li Qingyan took his luggage and officially set off for Fengyang County.
He only took four attendants and a schoolboy out this time. Those four attendants are all practicing family members. They are very good. They can not only help with some miscellaneous work, but also help Li Qingyan's safety.
Misty rain palace.
Fei Fei thought about it all night.
When she learned that the imperial concubine was concubine Xiao, her first reaction was to report the imperial concubine.
But who should she report to?
Now the Empress Dowager is not in the palace. If she wants to report, she can only go to the emperor.
But she has no evidence.
The emperor could not believe her just by the touch of her mouth.
The emperor doted on the imperial concubine so much that he might think that she deliberately talked nonsense and wanted to discredit the imperial concubine.
Then she won't be worth the loss.
She thought about it, but she still felt that it should not be said by herself. It was better to let the imperial concubine admit it herself.
As long as the imperial concubine admits it, even if the emperor intends to protect her, there is no way.
At that time, the Empress Dowager will come forward and put pressure together with the relatives. Even if the imperial concubine is no longer favored, the emperor will have to deal with the imperial concubine in order to maintain his position.
As for the specific operation?
Fei Fei already had an idea in her mind.
She originally wanted to help her mother's family, but on second thought, with the emperor's character, she will certainly trace it to the end. If it is found out that this matter has something to do with the Bai family, she will be implicating her mother's family.
So this matter must not stick to the Bai family.
It's best to find someone who has no contact with the Bai family, has a high status, and has a grudge against the imperial concubine.
The concubine quickly locked the target.
……
In the annual spring equinox, the emperor led all civil and military officials out of the palace to hold a heaven worship ceremony, so as to pray for God to bless the country and the people, good weather and a bumper harvest.
The concubines in the Palace should also go out together.
In previous years, the queen took the lead, but now the queen has not been registered. As the woman with the highest status in the harem, the imperial concubine naturally took over this responsibility.
