C38 (1/2)
Imperial Consort Lan retracted her gaze and no longer looked at her. Instead, she closed her eyes and quietly laid on the bed.
Xi Yan gritted her teeth in hatred. Looking at the lonely expression on Imperial Consort Lan's elegant face, she finally couldn't bear to speak anymore. She spoke with unwillingness, ”This servant will go to Royal Hospital right now.” With that, she left in a rage.
The torrential downpour dispersed the summer heat, and a trace of a cold feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.
”Stand up. Since you're in the right position, I am relieved.”
Seeing her dripping wet clothes, he said gently, ”Quickly go and change into dry clothes. If you fall ill, I will not have anyone by my side to serve you in the future.”
The summer rain came quickly and left even faster. After the sky cleared, everything became even more vivid under the baptism of the rain. The green willow and red flowers were tender and beautiful.
Ye Qiongjiang frowned as she leaned on the headboard. Although the bed curtain was put down, it could not be seen from the outside, and could not be heard.
”The imperial physician said that you were suffering from a febrile illness, and that the room needed to be ventilated from time to time. Being cooped up in bed like this is not good for the recovery of your illness.” ”Fang Chun, open the window and let the air flow. It has just rained outside and the air is very fresh, beneficial to the condition of the Imperial Consort Qiong.”
”Ah, yes.” Fang Chun happily went to the window and opened it. The wind blew past the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb that was hanging on the window, causing it to immediately produce a pleasant sound.
”Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Your concubine's illness is fine, as long as you take the medicine on time. I won't trouble Your Majesty to worry about me.” The meaning behind his words was obvious.
Mo Hua smiled slightly, ”Since it's not some serious illness, why don't you let us see?”
His eyes shifted slightly as he said faintly, ”I know a bit of your worries.”
Ye Qiongjiang was startled, ”What?”
”In the previous dynasty, there was an outstanding singer and dancer, Madame Li, who was bedridden with illness. When the emperor visited, she repeatedly invited him and also refused to meet him, simply because she was afraid of destroying the description in her illness and could no longer attract the emperor's attention.
I know that you're a bit worried, but, you don't have to be like this. In this harem, your appearance is not exceptional at all, and you can be said to always be inferior to my other concubines. ”
Hearing the story he told earlier about Li Fei, he knew that he was misinterpreting her meaning. He didn't expect that what he said would become more and more outrageous, to actually directly say that her appearance was inferior!
It was bad enough that he felt the heat of the wind, but he had never expected that he would be able to escape without letting go of the drapes and end up in such a state.
Ye Qiongjiang was simply unforgivable!
”You!” He forcefully lifted the curtain that was draped across the bed, and in that instant, he saw Mo Hua's half-smile in his angry eyes. Ye Qiongjiang instantly realized that he had been tricked by the other party, he had actually said that on purpose!
It was to get her to open the curtains of her bed and meet him.
”It seems that you are in good spirits. I presume that you are not seriously ill.” The corner of Mo Hua's lips raised into a pleased smile, he looked at Ye Qiongjiang's frowning, angry, yet stifling little face, fair and tender skin, and a pair of widened eyes filled with enchanting light, extremely vivid: ”Since you're out, drink the medicine.”
Qing An, who was standing at the side, lowered his head and endured the laughter. He immediately waved his hand, and the palace maid, who had already brought the medicine bowl Marquis to the side, hurried forward and presented a bowl of appropriate temperature to Imperial Consort Qiong, ”Empress, please drink this medicine.”
Ye Qiongjiang looked at medicine bowl, then looked at the smiling emperor and took a deep breath. She did not speak, afraid that the moment she opened her mouth, she would be able to suppress his rage and turn it into curses, then hold onto the medicine bowl and drink it all in one gulp.
Seeing that, Mo Hua could not help but laugh: ”Do you need us to peel a piece of candy for you?”
Ye Qiongjiang's expression was extremely ugly, ”Your concubine has drunk her medicine and also met you before, please return, your majesty.”
did not have any intention of making things difficult for her, he slightly nodded, ”Alright, since you are recuperating from your illness, I will come to see you everyday.”
Just as he was about to get up, a young eunuch passed through the door, ”Reporting to Your Majesty, Empress, Blue Mist Palace's palace maid Xi Yan, we request to see you through medicine.”
”Oh?” When Mo Hua, who had yet to stand up heard this, glanced at the slightly frowning Ye Qiongjiang, and could not help but smile, and said: ”Let Xi Yan in.”
The young eunuch accepted the orders and left. After a while, Xi Yan walked in as expected, and placed a bowl of medicine on a tray with both hands. When they entered and saw that the emperor was also there, they couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately knelt down. ”Xi Yan greets the emperor, Lady Qiong.”
