Just as she was thinking about it, Mrs. Su said with an envious tone, "Your Majesty really dotes on my sister. I'm afraid he came here just because he saw her today."

Fu Ronghua smiled when he heard this, "Sister Su is joking."

Mrs. Su held her forehead and said, "Seeing that the sky is getting hotter, my sister will go back to the palace first."

"Sister, go slowly," Fu Ronghua saluted.

Mrs. Su nodded slightly, and after she was far away from the pavilion, she slowed down and said, "It seems that Mrs. Xie is about to lift the ban."

She caressed her temples gently, her tone was neither urgent nor slow, and showed a bit of warmth.

——

Emperor Xuanzhao's visit to Qingyun Palace soon became known to everyone in the palace.

The Queen Mother broke the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "Your Majesty is like this, but you have never paid attention to the Ai family."

She was furious, and her eyes were filled with the powerlessness of aging. "Your Majesty is unwilling to accept the Cui family's daughter into the palace. The Cui family is really doomed."

Her tone was trembling, revealing endless sadness, "The Ai family has been planning for half their lives, but they still haven't succeeded."

"Empress, please take care of yourself." Nanny couldn't help stroking her back, for fear that she wouldn't be able to bear it.

The Queen Mother coughed loudly, "The late emperor was on guard against the Ai family, and now His Majesty is also on the guard against the Ai family. What else can the Ai family fight for? Xie Zhao is about to come out, how can the Ai family be worthy of Xiuxiu?"

"Your Majesty, your health is important." Mammy said urgently, and the maid on the side hurriedly handed over warm tea.

The Queen Mother pushed away directly, "Let the Ai family go."

——

"Have you found out?" Meng Fangfei's tone was a bit tired.

"No, there are no traces of drugging in the Queen's Palace." Bai Su said.

"Where's Yanzhi?" Meng Fangfei asked.

"Sister Yanzhi went to the Imperial Medical Office." Bai Su helped her sit down.

Meng Fangfei snorted lightly, "Is there any other news outside?"

"Your Majesty went to Qingyun Palace today." Bai Su replied carefully.

Meng Fangfei held the comb in her hand and said, "I know that I can't stop it after all."

She looked at the expressionless person in the mirror, her eyes a little fierce.

——

"Your Majesty is here," Xie Zhao was wearing a light orange dress, her long hair was pulled up, and her tone was as soft as ever.

Emperor Xuan Zhao sat opposite her, "Do you know that even I can't protect you this time?"

"Of course I understand," she raised her head, "but I really didn't do it."

Emperor Xuan Zhao seemed silent for a moment, "Xie Zhao, you didn't think about today when you let Hong Yu leave."

Xie Zhao stood up and came to him, "But His Majesty once said that no matter what the concubine does, Your Majesty can protect her."

She bent down and gently hooked the emperor's dark gold belt, "Your Majesty, how are you going to protect your concubines now?"

Her posture was gentle, her eyes were even more tender now, and her face looked a bit innocent.

Emperor Xuan Zhao looked at her and slowly held her hand, "I am grounding you and demoting you, which is also an explanation to the Queen Mother."

"But, I want to see Your Majesty." Xie Zhao raised his head, his eyes full of soft light.

Emperor Xuan Zhao stretched out his hand and pinched her chin slightly, "Xie Zhao, don't challenge my bottom line."

Xie Zhao lowered his eyes, seeming a bit disappointed, "Concubine, I just want to stay with His Majesty."

Emperor Xuan Zhao had heard this sentence from another person before, but that person would only let him indulge and protect her, while the person in front of him was the poisonous woman he wanted to kill.
