Xie Zhao woke up from the nightmare and sat on the bed covered in cold sweat.

"Empress, what's wrong?" Jade stood up and said.

Xie Zhao's voice was a little hoarse, "Pour me a cup of tea."

"Hey." Feicui quickly went to pour a cup of warm tea.

Xie Zhao took it and took a sip, "I will write a letter tomorrow and ask if my father and brother are okay."

"My slave understands."

——

"What did you say!" It was midnight, but Xie's house was brightly lit.

Patriarch Xie was furious for the first time, "Have you sent someone to check?"

"Father, we have already sent someone." Xie Dalang said.

"Your uncle sent a message yesterday, but there is no news today." He looked gloomy, "Maybe someone in Kyoto knows about it."

"Impossible, we have been doing these things in secret so no one will know. Even my uncle always thought we were doing it to expand our family's business." Xie Dalang shook his head decisively.

"Is your sister okay in the palace?" He thought of something and grabbed Xie Dalang's hand and asked.

"My little sister has resumed her position as concubine, so father doesn't have to worry."

"She's okay, that means Kyoto doesn't know about it either." He looked a little gloomy, "It seems that another aristocratic family did it."

"The big tree attracts the wind. The current glory of the Xie family has made many people feel unbalanced. My father wants to be more open-minded. Maybe my uncle just lost contact for a while."

Patriarch Xie looked up at the sky, "Maybe." His eyes were full of hidden worries.

The next day Fu Ronghua got up and saw that the ground was a little wet, "It rained last night."

"It's getting colder today, so I'd better stay indoors to avoid catching a cold." Zi You poured a cup of hot tea and said with a smile.

Fu Ronghua nodded slightly, "Everything is fine."

"Why is it okay?" came Ye Xia's smiling voice.

Fu Ronghua raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Ye Xia walked in and said, "I'm here to see what you are doing."

She sat opposite Fu Ronghua, "so that you don't get bored."

Fu Ronghua pursed his lips and smiled, "I didn't know before, but now I know that my sister is also such an interesting person."

The imperial concubine blinked, "That's all thanks to my sister's beauty. I have always been tolerant towards beautiful women."

"Thank you, sister, for the compliment." Fu Ronghua said with a smile in his eyes.

"Oh, I'm telling the truth." She glanced out the window, "Speaking of which, Your Majesty has never been so interested in a person. I and Your Majesty were both young acquaintances, and now that I think about it, my sister is also gentle and pleasant.

reason."

She smiled mysteriously, "For a woman like my sister, not to mention Your Majesty, even I can't help but feel a little softer when I see her."

Fu Ronghua couldn't help laughing, with a blush on his cheeks, "Sister Concubine, if you keep talking, I will really feel ashamed."

Ye Xia took her hand and said, "Look at what you said, I am not ashamed to face a beauty like you."

"What are the two beloved concubines talking about?" Emperor Xuan Zhao's voice sounded.

Fu Ronghua tightened his hands slightly, stood up and saluted, "I have met Your Majesty."

Emperor Xuan Zhao sat down, and Ye Xia held her chin up and smiled, "My concubine is chatting with Sister Rong about domestic affairs again. Your Majesty is also interested."

Emperor Xuan Zhao smiled half-heartedly, "I'm afraid you'll lead her astray."

"Hey, look what your majesty said, concubines are so unworthy of your majesty's trust." She rolled her eyes.

Fu Ronghua lowered his eyes, covering the coldness in his eyes, and then raised his head, regaining his usual calmness.
