Red walls, green tiles, high fangs.
The fragrance of flowers wafted in the air. The clear fragrance lightly wafted into the depths of the palace courtyard.
Consort Lee was sitting sideways on a stone chair in the pavilion. She was holding a handkerchief in her hand and covering her lips as her cold eyes slowly swept over her concubines who were seated in the hall.
Ye Zichen suddenly threw the words in his hand onto the ground, while a sullen expression surfaced on his face. What use do I have of all of you? You've been trying to drill your way in here all day, and yet you can't even think of a single idea! "
Ever since the last incident, the emperor had never been indifferent to him. Even though he said that he was unfamiliar with him, he was far from being as intimate as he was before.
"The Empress is currently the head of the harem. If even you can't do anything about it, then the concubines … and there's really nothing we can do about it. " An esteemed person of the first rank in the concubine class spoke the truth.
His cold eyes were like sharp blades as they shot straight at that noble man, "How dare you! How dare you belittle me? The meaning of your words, is that my words right now cannot compare with that person in the Zichen Palace, and that person's words do not have any weight? "
When that noble man saw Consort Lee's monstrous anger, he felt regretful that his mouth had hit the nail on the head while complaining in his heart, "Chenqie is terrified. Chenqie means that the one in the Zichen Palace is really too seductive, and the Empress is the true beauty of the country. The Emperor's thoughts will sooner or later return to the Empress."
The anger in Consort Lee had yet to dissipate, but just as she was about to speak out and teach the others a lesson, Honglan walked over quickly and whispered a few words into her ears, "Mother …"
"Really?" Consort Lee looked up at Honglan, and the iciness in her eyes instantly melted away.
"It's absolutely true. The news spread throughout the Zichen Palace. There can't be any mistake."
Consort Lee's rosy lips curved up in a charming smile, as if a great joyous occasion had occurred. "Truly, it is fast and satisfying!"
"Empress, what is it that makes you so happy?" Some of the concubines asked tentatively when they saw Consort Lee's delighted look.
"The one in the Zichen Palace has suffered the wrath of the heavens, and is currently bedridden." Consort Lee's eyes were twinkling. In this half month, she realized for the first time that the scenery in the garden was actually so beautiful.
"I seemed to have heard of this when I woke up earlier today. I thought it was some sort of rumor, but to think that it was actually true." Some of the concubines immediately responded. Consort Lee was in a better mood, so their words naturally became more relaxed. There was no need to worry about the boundaries anymore.
"Liu Ruyan is dead. Now that the emperor is lacking people, your chance has come." The Consort Lee glanced at the concubines beside her. Everyone understood what she meant and what she meant.
Just when the concubines were secretly rejoicing, no one noticed that Concubine Zhen's face had gradually turned pale. The flower beside her feet had fallen from her hand because of her shock just now.
Dragonheart Palace.
The golden pillar towered up, the dragon pattern engraved on it was incomparably exquisite.
"All of you have to do your best to investigate carefully for the emperor. You can't afford to miss a single one of them." Consort Lee stood at the entrance of the palace, ordering the imperial physician behind him with a serious expression. The emperor had been in contact with Liu Ruyan frequently recently, it was unknown whether or not she had caught a few germs.
Her original intention was not only to examine the emperor's body, but also to show his sincerity in front of the emperor and let him know that her heart was always thinking of him.
"Greetings to the Emperor." Consort Lee stood in front of the palace and said softly.
"Why are you here?" Lian Chengming glanced at the Consort Lee's gorgeous face, then shifted her gaze away as she lowered her head to continue reading the imperial reports in her hands.
"When chenqie heard that the one in the Zichen Palace got a smallpox, she reckoned that the emperor was the closest to her in these few days, so she brought the imperial physician to properly examine him."
It was only then that Lian Chengming noticed the three imperial physicians standing behind Consort Lee. His heroic eyebrows knitted slightly, his thin lips pursed tightly, and he only nodded slightly.
"Then I'll be troubling the three imperial physicians." Consort Lee blessed the imperial physician behind him, her attitude extremely docile.
The three imperial physicians circled around Lian Chengming's body and carefully examined him. In the end, they said with great comfort, "Your majesty's body is fine, there aren't any ill omens."
When the Consort Lee heard this, she loosened her grip on the handkerchief tightly. Although her goal is for the emperor to pay attention to her, in her heart, you are truly worried for the emperor's safety.
The Consort Lee heaved a heavy sigh of relief, her face carrying a happy smile. "Her Majesty's blessing is great, but in comparison, my little sister's life is much thinner. She actually suffered from such a bad disease, I don't know when it will be better, or when she can return to the side to serve the Emperor."
Hearing that, Lian Chengming looked at Consort Lee, his smile cold and mechanical, his tone even revealing a sense of schadenfreude, "Consort Lee has just recovered from a serious illness, so she is really worried about these things, be careful not to overwork herself and fall sick again."
's tone was slightly unfriendly. Today, he had already been anxious about Liu Ruyan getting smallpox, and now, there was someone who spoke to him in such a manner and manner, talking about this matter in front of him, he could not help but feel annoyed.
Consort Lee noticed her slip of tongue and immediately changed the topic, "Chenqie will definitely take good care of her body. Even Your Majesty has to take care of her dragon body, since the country is busy."
"I know very well that Consort Lee need not be so concerned about him. Next time, don't bring so many imperial doctors to visit him."
The imperial eunuch walked in and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Concubine Zhen has come."
Hearing that, Consort Lee frowned slightly, the gloom in her eyes became denser, she did not expect that Concubine Zhen, who was usually silent, would actually come out at such a critical time to fawn on her, but unfortunately, she beat him to it.
"Bring her in." Facing a Consort Lee, Lian Chengming's head was already starting to ache. It was just that Concubine Zhen was usually not a meddlesome master, so at this time, she probably had some important matters to attend to. If it were even a concubine like the Consort Lee that came, he would definitely chase her away.
Concubine Zhen walked into the hall with light steps. What was different from Consort Lee's exquisite makeup was that her pretty face was filled with tears. She looked pitiful.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy on Fifteenth Princess! I ask the Emperor to take into account the kindness of his siblings to pity Fifteenth Princess; your concubine truly feels as though her heart has been cut by a knife. " Concubine Zhen's voice was as gentle as water, begging them one by one.
