If it was in the past, she would have truly thought that this man might have a place in her heart. But now, after he had mercilessly killed her own daughter, in Xu Bixuan's heart, he only had one role to play! An enemy! An enemy that she had to take revenge on no matter what she did!
Feathered Pavilion was the place where Shangguan Ying Rong had lived when she was still an elegant lady. Ever since she had been admired by Leng Ao Tian's father, Leng Pu Chen, and even given the title of Queen, it had been completely preserved! Today, however, it had become Xu Bixuan's temporary residence.
Outside the door, Leng Ao Tian was frowning. From time to time he would glance towards the door, but he could not see any movement, let alone hear any sound!
"Doctor Zhang …" "Thank you …" Xu Bixuan struggled to open her eyes, her voice full of gratitude.
"Shh …" Zhang Ran raised his middle finger, hinting to Xu Bixuan that there was something on the other side of the wall. He scanned the surrounding before calming down.
"Sir Xu has done a great service to my family during your reign. To be able to save the Empress from the fire of water is also an honor for me. Please do not thank me, Empress. This humble subject has a guilty conscience!" Doctor Zhang lowered his eyes!
"Esteemed empress, although you've managed to escape, your future path may not be smooth. If there's anything I can help you with, please speak frankly. This humble subject has no regrets even if you were to accompany my family!" Zhang Gongren expressed his determination to Xu Bixuan in front of the bed, and everything that happened today proved that what he said was true.
"There's no need to thank me. Imperial Physician Zhang, I'll ask the emperor later …"
"Empress, don't worry. Please be merciful and let this humble official speak bluntly. You just gave birth to a child, yet you were sent to the cold palace. In addition to your grief, your body is no longer as healthy as it was before. Please take care of yourself!" Doctor Zhang was full of worry.
"I will pay attention!" There was warmth in Xu Bixuan's eyes as she nodded in thanks!
"Then, this humble official shall take his leave! If there is anything you need in the future, feel free to ask Little An to find me! As long as this humble subject can do it, I will not decline at all! " With that said, Zhang Gongzi turned around and walked out.
Her heart was cold and warm, and her personality was cold. In her most difficult moment, there was actually someone willing to risk their life to help her. This person must be her great benefactor! In Xu Bixuan's heart, her gratitude to Zhang Gou Ren could not be described with words. In the future, there would definitely be a time for her to repay him!
As soon as Zhang Ran stepped out of the door of the Feather Leaning Pavilion and saw the look of anticipation in Leng AoTian's eyes, he quickly took a step back and cupped his hands together as he spoke.
"This humble subject greets Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor! "
Leng AoTian's face darkened, his narrowed eyes concealing the worry in his eyes! Only after a long while did he squeeze out a few words.
"Huang …" "What's the situation of the woman inside?"
"Your Majesty, esteemed empress didn't treat her properly after the birth, so she's very weak right now. It's like she's trying to stop the bleeding in time. In the end, she's fine, but …" If I don't take good care of him, I'm afraid that in the future … It's impossible for them to be reborn! " Zhang Zhiren wasn't bluffing. He hadn't told Xu Bixuan about this just now because he was afraid that she would worry. But now, facing the emperor, he naturally spoke the truth!
"Got it!" Her body is in your care! If anything happens to you, you know the consequences! " He turned and looked at Elder Li!
"Take over the Purple Lai Pavilion!" Leng Ao Tian silently walked in front. Until now, he still could not believe that he was actually feeling sympathy for Xu Bi Xuan, and had even lifted her out of the cold palace. What was going on!? Didn't I hate her to the bone? Wasn't torturing her to death the very first wish he had! How could this be! It was a jade hairpin! It must be Imperial Mother's jade hairpin! If it weren't for the fact that he saw her desperately protecting the things that his mother loved, he definitely wouldn't have cared about this woman that he had loathed for eight years! Absolutely not!
"Your Majesty …" Forgive this old servant for speaking too much, but shouldn't you have something to say when you placed the empress, who is already crippled, in the Feather Pavilion? If she is not master or servant, she will definitely arouse the criticism of everyone! " Eunuch Li took two steps towards Leng Ao Tian's side!
"This... Forget it! Prepare an imperial edict for me, Xu Bixuan vows to protect the empress dowager's relics to the death, and orders her to leave the cold palace. She will be demoted to a palace. These few cold words relaxed Eunuch Li's tensed heart. This was good too! At least the empress won't be sent to the cold palace anymore!
Su Manhe sat in the front hall of the Purple Lai Pavilion. After calculating the time, it was about time for the emperor to return. He hurriedly brewed his emotions and lowered his gaze. His eyes were already filled with dense mist!
"Empress!" The Emperor is coming this way! " Little Tao, Hong'er, who had been keeping watch outside the whole time, came in and happily reported. However, when she saw the splendor under Su Man's eyes, her expression immediately changed …
"Empress!" Are you alright? "
"You may leave! "You are not allowed to come out without my permission!" With teary eyes, Suman stared at the door as he prepared for the upcoming show!
