Originally, he planned to leave, but when he saw the people summoned by Qin Shuo, Hu Xiao turned around.

The two of them had never met before, but from the looks of it, it was obvious that it was Prefect from Sui City Heart. After listening to what Su Yun said, Hu Xiao lost her patience and wanted to turn around and leave, but she didn't want to leave so easily.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Carrying a few snacks, Xue Mier saw that the atmosphere in the hall was not looking for something, so she walked in.

"Why is Dear Consort here?"

Xue Mier had already changed his clothes a long time ago, but she looked a little more young and tender than when she was wearing the clothes at the banquet earlier. She had originally wanted to change Xue Mier, but when she thought about the child in Xue Mier's stomach, she felt a little unwilling, because the imperial physician had said that she must not let Xue Mier's emotions go through a drastic change in the next few days, or else it would have a huge impact on the fetus in her stomach.

"Chenqie remembers that His Majesty didn't have much to eat at the banquet earlier. After returning, she had the kitchen prepare some food and brought it over. Even if His Majesty was busy, he shouldn't have eaten anything."

His cute and innocent appearance and the posture of a little girl made Qin Shuo a little irritated. Although it prevented the child in Xue Mier's womb, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.

During the banquet, Xue Mier had indeed gone a little overboard with what she did, it was just a mere imperial concubine, but that limelight had actually suppressed Hu Xiao, the empress, by several times. It was really disrespectful, even if it was in private, but when it came to showing this to the people of the world, the Imperial Consort Xue must be obedient to the empress, and definitely must not be like this!

"This Dear Consort is worried. Let's put down the food first. This Dear Consort should go back and rest well."

Xue Mier's appearance was truly not enough for her to stay behind like Hu Xiao and listen to their discussion.

"Your Majesty, your concubine has been resting in her room for far too long and is currently unable to sleep. Your Majesty, allow your concubine to ask, is this person the new Prefect? What in the world was going on? Why did you keep on kneeling? "

Xue Mier gasped in surprise, as if someone was kneeling beside him.

"Nothing."

He originally thought that Qin Shuo would try to coax him like he did in the past, but he was disappointed.

"Your majesty, the current situation with the Sui City has not stabilized yet, so we must not let our guard down first. The newly appointed Prefect might be in the wrong, but after all, he is still new to the job and many things are still unclear, why not your majesty forgive him this time?"

Just now, Xue Mier had heard Qin Shuo scolding this man when he was outside the door. If this person could save a bit of gratitude for, then it would probably be useful in the future.

In the past few days, Qin Shuo had been taking too much care of his, and Hu Xiao had always been interfering with the affairs of the imperial court, and even now, Qin Shuo had changed his original route to come here. She, Xue Mier, did not believe that she was a concubine who had a dragon seed, and could not compare to Hu Xiao?

"Wei Shi, send Imperial Consort Xue back to her room to rest. Imperial Consort Xue is pregnant, you absolutely cannot be tired like this.

Seeing that Xue Mier still wanted to say something, Qin Shuo waved his hands impatiently, but the tone in his voice sounded as if he was doing it for her good.

"Then chenqie will take her leave first."

Since he had already achieved his goal, it was no longer urgent for Qin Shuo to send him back.

Seeing Xue Mier slowly walking away, Qin Shuo rubbed between his brows, feeling even more agitated.

"Let's go down."

Seeing that the Prefect was still kneeling on the ground, he impatiently chased him away.

Seeing that, Hu Xiao also turned to leave, but in her heart, she felt that Xue Mier was really stupid.

"Hmm? Isn't this Empress? At the banquet today, His Majesty had said that the Empress wasn't feeling very well. Is elder sister feeling better? "

After sending the Courtier Wei back, Xue Mier was just about to walk back leisurely when she saw the figure in front of him, and immediately caught up. Today was the first time that Hu Xiao lost face like this in front of him, so it must be an extremely great matter.

Hu Xiao cursed in her heart as she turned to look at Xue Mier with a smile.

Hehe, in this way, I thank the Imperial Consort Xue for her concern. I am indeed not feeling very well at today's banquet, but I am better after going back to rest.

Just as she wanted to say her farewells and leave, Xue Mier seemed to not want that person to leave so easily.

"Today at the banquet, my sister is truly sorry, it was clearly my own banquet, but my sister is already fighting for the host, please do not blame me, I just thought that I had never done it in such a way in the East Court, and came to help out my sister, but I never thought that it would turn into this."

As she looked at Xue Mier with a fake smile, Hu Xiao felt very impatient in her heart. But because of the dragon seed in Xue Mier's stomach, she could only hold it in no matter how much she wanted to.

He couldn't help but move further away from Xue Mier, afraid that he would accidentally slap Xue Mier in the face.

But Hu Xiao being like this, in Xue Mier's eyes, was akin to being afraid of her. After all, she had never seen Hu Xiao acting so domineeringly in front of him.

In the past, Hu Xiao did not fear the heavens or the earth. But now, for the first time ever, he had conceded to her and indeed, she was afraid of her.

"Imperial Consort Xue, you should be very clear about the relationship between the two of us, so there's no need to call me sister. After all, I am not someone who can afford to be called a Imperial Consort Xue."

Just as Hu Xiao was about to turn and leave, before sshe could leave, he heard Xue Mier exclaim in shock.

"Elder sister, elder sister doesn't need to be like this. Your Majesty has indeed favored your concubine in the past few days. Your concubine is currently harboring a grudge against your elder sister. Why must your elder sister be so vicious?"

Hu Xiao glanced at Xue Mier, sshe did not want to argue anymore, he turned and left, but she had still underestimated Xue Mier.

"Ah!"

"Someone come quickly, someone come, go find an imperial physician!"

Before she walked very far, she heard someone shouting behind him. Hu Xiao was startled, she turned and saw that Xue Mier had already fallen to the ground, and blood seemed to be flowing out from between her legs.

He anxiously ran over to Xue Mier's side and was just about to help Xue Mier up from the ground, but why would Xue Mier do as Hu Xiao wished?

Before he could stabilize his position, he was pushed aside by Xue Mier's palm. It was a good thing he didn't die, but Xue Mier's palm had coincidentally pushed towards where Hu Xiao was injured, and on the day of their departure, Xue Mier's wounds were not fully healed yet, so she was just forcefully holding on on on on the road. There was no need for the boat carriage to tire so much for the past few days, only blood slowly emerging from Hu Xiao's chest.
