"Yes." "Yes," Zhou Cheng Emperor replied. In an instant, the entire palace hall was silent, holding their breath. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of the emperor drinking medicine and occasionally knocking his spoon against the wall.
Even Shufei secretly glared at her, cursing her in her heart, could it be that these hooves are crazy? This matter is related to Yi Xiu Palace, she could just bite her lips and not say anything, who would pay attention to such a small palace maid, and yet with so many mouths, it has caused her so much trouble.
When Consort Su thought of this, it was because she didn't know that Hui Zhi was someone Feng Qianyue had arranged to be by her side a long time ago.
Time slowly passed. Everyone's heart was in the air as they nervously waited for the results of the search.
At this moment, the Changchun Palace was in a different state. The people here had no idea what was happening outside.
"Imperial Mother, Imperial Mother …" "Princess Eleven …" Princess Eleven calls out softly, but the empress is still sleeping and has yet to open her eyes. She carefully covers her with the blanket, then closes the door and slowly walks out.
Standing at the doorway and looking at the desolate palace, a deep feeling of loneliness arose in her heart.
She and her mother lived in the Changchun Palace, not a single palace maid or mama by her side. Everything was done by her alone, and after the empress was forced into the cold palace, she became more and more reticent, aside from occasionally calling out the crown prince's name, and then leaning on the bed in silence. There was not a single person who spoke.
Fortunately, there was her fawn.
When she thought of the fawn, she smiled again. It had grown much taller by now, and its eyes were moist, as if it understood her. When it saw her coming, it leaned its head forward and gently rubbed its head against her body.
Princess Eleven folds two fresh branches and puts them next to her mouth. She gently caresses her back and says softly, "Fortunately, you are still here. Eat, eat, eat more, grow taller, grow stronger, and don't get sick."
The little deer ate happily. After eating, it shook its head in front of her and rubbed its head against her stomach.
"Hehehe …" She giggled.
After playing with the fawn for a while, Princess Eleven touches her head and whispers:
"Go ahead and rest. I'm also tired."
As if understanding her words, the fawn wriggled its ass at her, waggled its body, and slipped into her house.
The smile faded from Princess Eleven's face. She walked with heavy steps to the gate of Changchun Palace and sat down with her back against it. The sunlight shone down on her.
He did not know when this repeated and hopeless day would come to an end.
She used her chapped hands to take out a piece of jade pendant with only half of the fish left. She placed it on her palm and gently stroked it, carefully inspecting it …
Suddenly, two tears fell from his eyes and fell onto the jade pendant.
She used her sleeve to wipe away the tears on it as she choked with sobs and said:
"Lian Fu, I missed you so much." She held the jade pendant in her arms and lowered her head. Tears kept falling, but she could not cry out because she did not want her mother to hear her.
After crying for an unknown period of time, her eyes were red and swollen. She took the jade pendant back into her bosom, leaned against the door, closed her eyes and fell asleep due to exhaustion.
In her drowsy sleep, she suddenly smelled a very fragrant scent, causing her stomach to growl.
She suddenly opened her eyes — —
"Wow, there really is some cake. It smells so good." The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was a pancake with lots and lots of meat between it and her feet. There was a layer of paper under the pancake that was emitting an alluring fragrance.
She quickly bent over and picked up the biscuit. She placed it next to her nose and sniffed it. Suddenly, she closed her eyes. It looked like she was enjoying the taste.
She suddenly thought of something and stood up with the cake in her hand and asked loudly, "Who? Who sent me a biscuit? "
However, no one answered her questions after she asked several times. Instead, her stomach began to growl.
Every day, she went through great pains to get some meat from the imperial kitchens. It was always old and tough, and she still had to choose it for a long time after bringing it back. If she could eat it, she would give it to the empress, so she ate some steamed buns, or put some hot water in the meat she picked out, and "drink some broth".
Now that such a thick meat pie was placed in front of her, her stomach growled non-stop. She really wanted to bite down!
"Kindness!" A courtesy! It's you, you know what I like best. " she asked in a loud voice, clutching the cake.
"Pa Da", a rock suddenly flew out from an unknown place and rolled next to her feet.
She smiled. "It really was a greeting gift. It was sent over by a greeting gift."
She quickly opened her mouth and took a bite — —
"It's really delicious, it's really delicious. This is the best cake I've ever eaten, hmm …" She was so happy that she cried happily as she ate.
In a nearby corner, Xiao He's face revealed a wisp of a smile as he lightly threw the remaining stone in his hand onto the ground.
Just now, the fragrance that Princess Thirteen had smelled on him was the fragrance of this cake. This was made by the capital's most famous "Qingde Pancake". He had specifically ordered the waiter to put half of the meat inside.
He leaned against the wall and folded his arms across his chest. Watching her gulp down the sesame seed cake, not caring if the oil came from the corner of her mouth, he lifted his sleeve and wiped his mouth. He shook his head helplessly.
But, she only ate a small portion before stopping, and she wrapped up the remaining portion. Xiao He was stunned for a moment —
Don't you like it? Why aren't you eating?
Princess Eleven licked her lips and said to herself, "Such a delicious biscuit, why don't you give it to Imperial Mother for a bit?"
As he spoke, he wrapped the cake in his hand and sniffed it with the tip of his nose. Then, he licked his lips in satisfaction.
"…" Xiao He's expression darkened. This silly girl. That day at the empress dowager's birthday banquet, the empress was clearly using her, so why was she still …
"Young duke, young duke …" Just as he was thinking, an anxious voice sounded out.
He quickly dodged and quickly left the area. He walked over quickly and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
The person panted and said, "Something happened. Something big happened. His Majesty was injured. Right now, the entire lake is almost overturned!"
"What?" When Xiao He heard this, he immediately suppressed the matter regarding the Eleventh Princess and stopped thinking about it. He hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Tell me about it to this Marquis."
"Yes sir!"
Thus, as Xiao He walked towards the direction of the Imperial Palace, he listened to the eunuch recount the events one by one.
When he entered the Bird Lake, he saw a group of guards guarding the lake, not letting anyone near.
