In the Red Luan Courtyard, the lights were on.
Duan Yunfei had always been a hot topic in the palace, but now that the news of her being poisoned had spread out, it was like a sudden explosion in the palace, instantly causing a huge uproar.
The concubines and princes of the various palaces all rushed to Red Luan Courtyard, surrounding him so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
But in the inner hall, only Yuwen Di and Xiao Yang were allowed to enter, and no one was allowed to enter.
After listening to Xiao Yang's words, Yuwen Di sank into deep thought.
Yuwen Di suddenly remembered that Duan Yingluo had come to tell him about this morning.
Because Duan Yunfei had beaten Duan Yingluo up today, and the emperor was unwilling to uphold justice for Duan Yingluo. So Duan Yingluo kept it in her heart, and ordered her men to poison Duan Yunfei's ginseng soup secretly, and wanted to use this method to take revenge on Duan Yunfei.
Thinking about it this way, it wasn't unreasonable.
Yuwen Di frowned, and sat beside Duan Yunfei without saying a word, thinking about something.
"Xiao Yang, tell me, what exactly happened between your princess and Sixth Princess in the Imperial Garden today that caused the two of them to attack each other." Yuwen Di hesitated, raised his head and asked Xiao Yang.
Although Duan Yingluo had gone to find Yuwen Di early in the morning to seek him for justice, until now, Yuwen Di did not know what had happened.
Xiao Yang knelt in front of Yuwen Di, and said while shaking his head: "Reporting to your majesty, this morning, Young Prince Mu invited my princess to the imperial garden to enjoy the plum blossoms. My princess followed him. As for what happened afterwards, this servant truly did not know. I only know that it was Sixth Princess who spoke rudely and had an argument with my Young Miss in the imperial garden. "
As Xiao Yang said this, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Yuwen Di detected her abnormality and lowered his head to ask her.
Xiao Yang shook his head, then stammered: "I just heard, that at the end, it was my Princess who could not hold it in, and attacked Sixth Princess, causing everyone to leave unhappily."
Yuwen Di thought for a moment, then nodded at Xiao Yang.
If that was the case, it was indeed Sixth Princess who was the most suspicious.
However, they were sisters after all. Although Duan Yingluo was usually a little overbearing and cunning, Yuwen Di still refused to believe that she would think of such a way to harm Duan Yunfei.
"Your Majesty, this servant definitely does not lie at all. If you do not believe me, you can ask the Sixth Princess." Xiao Yang saw Yuwen Di's expression and was somewhat suspicious, and anxiously said to Yuwen Di.
"Absolutely not." As soon as Xiao Yang finished speaking, the emperor waved his hands at her. Currently, Thirteen was still unconscious, so even the Imperial Physician wasn't completely confident. Even if you want to interrogate Sixth Princess, you shouldn't be in such a hurry to do so. "
Yuwen Di hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Right now, the most important thing to do is to hold Thirteen's life in my arms. No matter what price we have to pay, we must definitely cure Little Thirteen. "
Hearing how determined Yuwen Di was, Xiao Yang couldn't continue to persuade the emperor to interrogate the Sixth Princess.
She bent down and respectfully bowed to Yuwen Di.
Yuwen Di walked to and fro in the middle of the room, unwilling to speak a single word. The inner hall was so quiet that one could clearly hear a needle dropping on the ground.
The sky outside was getting brighter and brighter. Eunuch Ming was so anxious like ants on a hot pan, and he didn't know what to do.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that the Eunuch Ming was feeling uneasy, the Imperial Consort Yu walked over and asked.
When Eunuch Ming saw that it was Imperial Consort Yu walking over, he immediately bowed towards him and said anxiously, "Imperial Concubine, it's already the hour of the morning court, but the Emperor is accompanying the Thirteenth Princess inside, he's not willing to come out, what should we do now?"
On one side was his daughter, who was at the brink of death, and on the other was the matter of the country that was waiting to be settled. Not only Yuwen Di, even the eunuchs beside him were also in trouble.
Imperial Consort Yu stood on top of the stairs of the Red Luan Courtyard and hesitated for a while before saying to the Eunuch Ming, "No matter how big the matter with the Thirteenth Princess is, it is not as important as the matter with the Imperial Court. "It's good that we're here to guard it. I'll go in now and persuade the Emperor to leave early."
The Imperial Consort Yu opened the door gently and walked in as she spoke.
Yuwen Di was still in deep thought about the matter with Duan Yunfei, and did not notice that Imperial Consort Yu had walked right in front of him.
"Your majesty, it's about time for the imperial court to begin." Imperial Consort Yu walked over and bowed to the Emperor, then advised the Emperor, "I have a concubine here to take care of you, don't worry."
Hearing Imperial Consort Yu say this, the Emperor came back to her senses and couldn't help but frown. "Now that Thirteen is like this, I really …"
Yuwen Di did not have the heart to finish his words, and heavily lowered his head.
"Your majesty, chenqie naturally knows that you are worried about the Thirteenth Princess, but the court matters are more important. The court officials are still waiting for you." The Imperial Consort Yu patted Yuwen Di's shoulder, and said earnestly: "In the past ten years that you have ascended to the throne, you have worked hard for national affairs, and have never dropped out of the throne. It's the same today. With chenqie guarding this place for you, you can rest assured. "
Hearing Imperial Consort Yu's words, Yuwen Di's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Honestly speaking, Yuwen Di was a good emperor who loved his citizens like his own son. Since he had ascended the throne, he had given away small rewards and had not added to the burden of the people. He was the Son of Heaven, and spent all his time and effort on governing the Jin Country. But now, with his daughter lying unconscious on the sickbed, he could do nothing.
Just as Yuwen Di was hesitating, the Eunuch Ming also came in and bowed to Yuwen Di while hesitating. Your majesty, the courtiers have come to hasten you. There are Imperial Consort Yu guarding this place, why don't you go up to the court now. "
Seeing that everyone was trying to persuade him, Yuwen Di sighed and nodded towards Imperial Consort Yu. Imperial Concubine, since Thirteen is still unconscious, I'll leave this place to you. When the day is over, I'll come over to see her. "
"Your majesty, don't worry. With chenqie here guarding the Thirteenth Princess, nothing will happen." Imperial Consort Yu said to the Emperor with a resolute expression.
No matter what the Imperial Consort Yu said. Yuwen Di was still worried, he slowly walked to Duan Yunfei's bedside and reached out his hand to cover the corners of Duan Yunfei's blanket, his eyebrows knitted slightly, but he still said with a face full of concern: "Little Thirteen, royal father still has matters to take care of in the imperial court, so he asked Imperial Consort Yu to stay here to take care of you. When royal father gets off the throne, he will immediately come to see you. "
He took a few steps out, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Duan Yunfei, his eyes filled with love and pity.
