Although Nalan Rongxuan had announced that he was well, he was not completely recovered, and as a result, he still looked sickly and weak. After being pulled by Yue Luoxue, he staggered out of the carriage, and his body swayed and he almost lost his balance, falling down against Yue Luoxue's body.
"Luoxue, it's not as bad as you, right?" Nalan Rongxuan asked innocently.
It was intentional, this fellow must have done it on purpose! Yue Luoxue ground her teeth, she had done it on purpose just now, but did not want to be tricked by this fellow!
Although there were not many people walking in and out of the palace gate, there were still outsiders like the guards. Yue Luoxue could only "bear with it": "It's fine, it's better if you don't run around in the future with this body of yours."
When she raised her head, she discovered that whether it was the guards at the door or the eunuchs who came out to receive them, all of them were looking at the two of them with an expression of being struck by lightning. Yue Luoxue was already used to this scene, so naturally she pulled Nalan Rongxuan away from her.
However, Nalan Rongxuan took the opportunity to support her shoulders and lightly said, "This king has been feeling unwell again for the past two days.
Yue Luoxue was speechless, this fellow really knew how to take advantage of this opportunity to teach her, she knew that the two slaps she gave Ning Suran were not for nothing!
Looking at Ning Suran's face that was so angry that it looked like she was about to cry, Yue Luoxue speechlessly rolled her eyes. What is she being so unhappy about, didn't she see that Nalan Rongxuan had already ordered her to take revenge!
How would Yue Luoxue know what Ning Suran was thinking? Nalan Rongxuan had never liked others to get close to him, and they could be considered childhood friends, or even his fiancées. However, let alone this kind of body contact, he usually didn't even bother giving her any superfluous glances.
But now, Nalan Rongxuan was so close to a doctor, so much that they shared a room! How could she not be jealous! She was so jealous that she was about to go crazy!
The old eunuch, who was waiting outside the palace, was the first to react. He had an impression of Yue Luoxue, he had followed the emperor for many years, and was extremely familiar with the clothes Yue Luoxue was wearing.
"Your highness, this old servant has waited for you. The emperor and the imperial concubine are also waiting. Let's go." With that, the eunuch bowed respectfully, signaling Nalan Rongxuan to go first.
Yue Luoxue didn't think that the Emperor would be here too. Didn't they say that some kind of imperial concubine was treating him to food?
Nalan Rongxuan's expression remained indifferent, he did not even nod his head as he walked forward. As Nalan Rongxuan's "walking stick", he was naturally with him.
On the other hand, Ning Suran, although she gave a gold ingot to the eunuch at the end, sweetly called out: "Eunuch Huang, it's been hard on you."
Eunuch Huang's smile was like a flower as she said humbly, "Miss Ning, you are being too polite." King Xuan was too cold, if Ning Suran became the concubine of the King Xuan, she could help him a little, it wouldn't be like this.
When Yue Luoxue arrived, she found out that this feast was hosted by Fei Li. The emperor had come specially to support Nalan Rongxuan because he "missed" this son of his who had wandered this far for more than ten years.
However, Nalan Rongxuan did not show any signs of gratitude or excitement at all for the arrival of the emperor, his expression was indifferent as if he was facing a stranger.
Ning Suran and Lifei had been sticking together ever since they had entered the room, looking extremely similar to a mother and daughter pair. It was just that the content of their conversation wasn't as peaceful as it seemed.
"Of course, why did you let Rongxuan bring that woman over? This is an opportunity that I have specially created for you. " Lifei lowered her voice.
Ning Suran bit her lips: "How would I have known that Elder Brother Xuan would bring her along!"
"Don't worry, you are Rongxuan's legal and proper fiancee. In the future, the position of King Xuan's Concubine will be yours, so it would be the same if that woman was left to torture in the future." Li Fei patted the back of Ning Suran's hand.
Even though she and Nalan Rongxuan were not close, they had raised him for two years anyway. If Nalan Rongxuan was living a good life, her days in the future shouldn't be too bad either. Ning Suran had a strong background, so he was satisfied with his "daughter-in-law".
Ning Suran said angrily: "Empress, you don't know how good Elder Brother Xuan is to that woman, and even let that woman stay in his room, if that woman had a child first …"
Lifei was shocked, "Rongxuan let that woman stay in his room? "Of course, you should think of a way to end this marriage as soon as possible …"
The two of them talked amongst themselves. The old emperor, Nalan Jie, casually chatted with Nalan Rongxuan about some important matters. Most of them were from his clan, while Nalan Rongxuan responded with a few words.
"I heard that my son has recently recovered well?" Nalan Jie suddenly changed the topic. He was in a good mood, and wasn't affected by Nalan Rongxuan's cold attitude.
Nalan Rongxuan nodded lightly: "Yes."
"Godly Doctor's medical skills are indeed brilliant. Ever since I took the Longevity Pill, I feel much more energetic, and I have to thank Doctor Luo for that." Nalan Jie smiled at Yue Luoxue with extreme gentleness.
Yue Luoxue lowered her eyes. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise."
He finally understood why the old emperor was here today. It seemed that he wasn't "missing" Nalan Rongxuan, but those pills from the Godly Doctor s instead, right?
Stealthily glancing at Nalan Rongxuan, he was still the same as before, with a bland expression, without any expression at all. However, Yue Luoxue felt a strange loneliness appearing in his body, a loneliness that made people want to take care of him.
"Haha, the world knows about Godly Doctor's medical skills. It's just that we have never had the chance to see it. It's truly a pity." Nalan Jie sighed, looking extremely regretful.
Yue Luoxue lowered her eyes as she said slowly: "master's whereabouts are unknown, but if he knew that Your Majesty wanted to see you, he would definitely be very happy."
"Haha, Doctor Luo is right. Come, have a look!" Nalan Jie laughed out loud, "I'm feeling exhausted recently. I wonder if Doctor Luo has any ideas?"
This old emperor's skin is really thick, isn't this just changing his appearance to ask for pills? As an unknown physician, I don't think that I would be able to get my hands on what I need, why can I only obtain them from the master?
However, Nalan Rongxuan suddenly put down the teacup in his hand and spoke in a bland voice, "I heard that royal father was able to summon two beauties last night, how could his mental state not be good!?"
Nalan Jie's face became ugly after Nalan Rongxuan finished speaking, "Rongxuan, is this the attitude of you speaking to royal father?"
"Rongxuan has not been in the palace for a long time, and I really have forgotten how I am supposed to get along with royal father."
Nalan Rongxuan was still as cold and indifferent as before, but Yue Luoxue noticed that there was a trace of resentment in his words. Could it be that he was angry at Nalan Jie for sending the young him to the Sunscorch Kingdom? Or was he complaining about how the Nalan Jie had alienated him over so many years?
"Nalan Rongxuan, don't forget who gave you everything that you have right now!" The Nalan Jie's voice was stern.
Just as Nalan Rongxuan was about to speak, Yue Luoxue took a step ahead of him and said, "Your Majesty, getting angry hurts my body. I still have some Vitality Replenishing Pills left behind by the master.
