C37 (2/2)
Begonia and Xi Yan, who were welcoming them at the door, were overjoyed to see the emperor's group with their sharp eyes. After all, it was already so late and they were worried that the emperor would not come.
”Your servant greets the emperor!” They ran quickly and rushed in front of Mo Hua to kowtow.
Xi Yan was even more joyous as she said, ”Your Majesty, the Empress has made a osmanthus cake for you as a supper.”
Mo Hua looked down at Xi Yan's face that was filled with anticipation, then looked at the crabby Begonia who was kneeling to the side, and suddenly lost interest. ”Qing An, go back to the Audience Hall, tell Imperial Consort Lan that we still have a few memorials to review.”
The onset of the violent summer rain was often the moment when the omens were discovered, it immediately began to rain heavily.
Imperial Consort Lan stood by the window and watched the torrential rain outside. The raindrops fell on the windowsill and splashed onto her clothes, unaware she was getting wet.
”Empress!” Get out of the window, it's raining so much outside, be careful not to catch a cold! ” Xi Yan carried the washed fruits and walked in. She immediately saw Imperial Consort Lan standing at the window and blowing on it, so she quickly put down the fruit bowl. In a few steps, she pulled Imperial Consort Lan over and closed the window.
Although the Imperial Consort Lan was pulled back, she still looked at the closed window with a numb and lifeless expression. Xi Yan could not help but sigh, the Empress's heart was probably completely hurt by the Emperor.
Last time, they had agreed to spend the night at the Esteemed Empress Lan's place. The emperor had already walked to the entrance of the Blue Mist Palace, but she suddenly stopped. This matter, no matter who it was, would make one feel sad.
Xi Yan felt that sshe should still comfort her a little, ”Empress, don't be sad anymore. Although the Emperor has not come, he is still missing you in his heart. There is still a long period of time left, you are much stronger than the Imperial Consort Hui and the rest, the concubines in the imperial harem. ”The emperor always comes to visit you every few days. They don't see him twice a year …”
”Xi Yan.” Imperial Consort Lan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
Xi Yan was startled, and immediately said: ”This servant is here.”
Imperial Consort Lan slowly turned her head and seriously glanced at Xi Yan. His voice was slightly lowered, but it was unusually cold. If you really have nothing better to do, then get out! You do not need to wait upon us here! ”
Although her voice was not loud, it was cold and cruel like never before. Xi Yan was frightened to the point of kneeling down, as tears of fear and grievance gushed out of her eyes. ”This servant was only worried about the Empress, I didn't have any other intentions …”
”Empress …”
Xi Yan's heart trembled. Even though Imperial Consort Lan didn't reveal any sort of sad expression, these shallow words, entered deeply into the bottom of her heart. She used to be so gentle and calm, but now her heart was broken like this …
”I'm fine now. You can leave. Let me have some peace and quiet.”
He had only sat halfway when he saw Begonia rush in from the outside. His entire body was drenched, and he staggered and almost fell down.
”Empress, Imperial Consort Qiong … Imperial Consort Qiong, she … ”
Imperial Consort Lan stood up again, ”What happened to Imperial Consort Qiong? Are you that flustered? ”
Begonia took a deep breath, calmed down his flustered mind, then said: ”Empress, Lady Qiong fell ill.”
”What?”
Bang! With a loud crash, the chair was knocked down, causing Imperial Consort Lan to open his eyes wide in shock. The light in his eyes dimmed in an instant, as if she had heard the most terrifying thing in the world. Her illness... ”It really is a good time to get sick …”
Xi Yan looked at Imperial Consort Lan and then looked at the Begonia, ”What's so strange about Imperial Consort Qiong getting sick? Wouldn't it be better if she got sick? ” After saying that, she cursed again, ”It's best if you can't treat your illness.”
Imperial Consort Lan was in a daze, the transvestite had already let out a sigh and explained in a low voice, ”Xi Yan, can't you use your brain a little more? In the past few days, the emperor hasn't come to the imperial harem, and with the Empress taking charge of the harem, after a period of time, the emperor will definitely be the first to come to our Blue Mist Palace. However, the Imperial Consort Qiong just has to get sick at this time, this disease of hers, if the emperor gets the news, how can he not go to see her? ”I'm afraid that in the future …” In the future, the Blue Mist Palace would probably be empty for a long time.
The remaining words, without even needing Begonia to say it, was already understood by Xi Yan. She could not help but be anxious and angry, ”How could it be like this? Was that Imperial Consort Qiong a real disease or a fake disease? This method of fighting for favors is too vile! ”
”It doesn't matter if it's true or false, or how vile the method is, as long as it's effective, it will be the victory of the Imperial Consort Qiong.”
”Stop talking.”
The chair had already been knocked down. Imperial Consort Lan, who had originally wanted to sit down, forced herself to walk over to the side of the bed and leaned on it weakly, ”Xi Yan, go to Royal Hospital and have the imperial doctor prescribe a prescription to heal your body. Bring the medicine over to Imperial Consort Qiong.”
”Empress!” The words of the Imperial Consort Lan came as a great shock to Xi Yan. She could not understand it at all, ”Then the Imperial Consort Qiong is actually bullying the Empress, why do we still need to give her medicine?”
