C244 (1/2)
The closer I am to the Emperor, the nobler I am in this palace. The Emperor is the center, and everyone has to circle around the Emperor. But will there come a day when I don't want to turn around anymore? I want to hide in a corner and live the rest of my life in peace and tranquility?
The next day, Xuan Ye fulfilled two of his promises. First, he personally went to the Yikun Palace to see Ruo Lan. Second, he conferred Ruo Lan the title of nobility.
This was the sweetest smile she had seen in Ruo Lan in a long time, as if he had gone back to the very beginning. That naive girl who had wholeheartedly wanted to see the Emperor, thinking about how he was already very satisfied when he saw the Emperor after agreeing to meet him for so long, what was there to be dissatisfied about? He really didn't mind that Xuan Ye had coldly ignored her, but what she did mind was that the Emperor hadn't come to see Ruo Lan in the first place, and now that the Emperor was here, she was relieved.
From Xuan Ye's point of view, Ruo Lan's spirit had clearly improved a lot, and she could now joke around with Rong'er and Wei'er. However, the royal doctors didn't have much luck with Ruo Lan, and the most important thing was that Ruo Lan's body couldn't move, so the royal doctors spoke in a very complicated manner. To Rong'er, Ruo Lan might not be able to live much longer, and right now, she was most likely in her final days.
The best medicinal materials were used by the Imperial Hospital. When Xuan Ye arrived here and truly saw Yin Ruo Lan lying in bed, unable to move, Xuan Ye's heart was deeply moved; he was deeply moved by his kindness and self-sacrifice, and in the face of such grief, Yin Ruo Lan actually didn't utter a single word of complaint or dissatisfaction. He also knew from the Imperial Physician that Ruo Lan's condition wasn't very good, after all, she was the woman who had accompanied him here for so many years.
When he asked Rong'er if she wanted to go with him, Rong'er naturally refused. She had to stay by his side, and the imperial concubine and the Imperial Concubine De had to take care of him, so this time, Xuan Ye left the palace alone without any concubines.
Nearly a month after Xuan Ye left, the Imperial Concubine De from Yonghe Palace became pregnant again. The Emperor's previous company had caused Xuande to become pregnant with Long Zi, and when she found out about this news, she sighed with emotion beside Rong'er, ”I sometimes feel that Imperial Concubine De is not a simple person, she is smarter than you, Imperial Concubine Yi and others.”
Rong'er was currently feeding the medicine to Ruo Lan, and Ruo Lan didn't have much of a reaction to this news. Rong'er raised his head to look at Yu'er, and said softly, ”Yin is dead, Xuande is sad, it isn't normal for the emperor to accompany the emperor. After Yin Yu died, wasn't there someone in Imperial Concubine Yi very soon?
”I don't know why, but I always felt that something was wrong. I always thought that Imperial Concubine De gave people a strong feeling in the past, and was always very strong, but this time it has become especially weak and relied on the emperor. During that time, when Sixth Brother was sick to the afterlife, the emperor wasn't always accompanying him at Yonghe Palace day and night. It was said that the moment the Emperor left his side, Imperial Concubine De would faint, become ill, and become extremely weak. In the past few days, she has often come to visit Ruo Lan, and she has interacted a lot with her. Ling Jiao'er thoughtfully said.
”Look at you, what are you talking about!” ”Isn't that normal? Although she gave birth to two Ah Gou, the Fourth Ah Gou and the Imperial Noble Concubine Yi are even more intimate. Only Yin Xun is her heart's flesh and blood, so it's normal for her to be sad to the point of changing her personality.” Rong'er finished feeding Ruo Lan her medicine, wiped her mouth, and smiled at Ruo Lan with satisfaction.
”Thank you elder sister.” Rowland thanked Rong'er gratefully, and though the women of the palace could do these things, as long as Rong'er was here she had always come to feed him herself. At first she would refuse, but when she found out that it was Rong'er's wish, she did not refuse him any more.
Xiu-Er forced a smile and said, ”That's right. Anyway, this has nothing to do with me. In the end, I still haven't been able to train Ruo Lan's calmness.”
Rong'er stood up with a smile, ”Imperial Concubine De has a dragon heir, I should go take a look. Ruo Lan will be troubling you to take care of her.” He turned his head to look at Ruo Lan. ”Ruo Lan, rest well. I'll be back soon.” Rong'er led Xiao Qing out of the room.
The moment they stepped out of the room, Xiaoqing said in a low voice, ”Master, I think that the spirit promise is reasonable. If it weren't for Imperial Concubine De pestering the emperor with Ah Gou's death, the Emperor wouldn't have ignored you.”
Rong'er shook his head. He turned around and seriously said to Xiao Qing, ”Xiao Qing, don't talk about this in this palace. It's not good for others to hear it.” Rong'er actually knew in his heart that Xuande was a smart girl. This was something that she had already seen before Xuande entered the palace, but the only difference was that she believed that Xuande's intelligence wouldn't be used to harm others. That was enough. Nothing else mattered. It was her fortune that she could get the emperor to pamper her. It was also her skill. Jealousy couldn't go against his will. This time, her previous love for Yin Qi made her feel a certain sadness.
When Rong'er arrived at Yonghe Palace, Xuande was leaning against a hot brick bed, basking in the sunlight. She looked to be in good health, and when she saw Rong'er enter, she quickly smiled and greeted, ”Big sister Rong, you're here.”
Rong'er replied, ”That's right, I heard that little sister had a dragon son, so she came over to offer her congratulations.”
