Xiao Chengye's eyes flashed, and he suddenly didn't dare to look into his son's eyes. The emperor turned his head away for the first time when he looked at someone.
Lou Yan took a deep breath and recited the two words Qin Zhen said to him ten thousand times in his mind: calm down.
Then, he walked up to Xiao Chengye, lowered his head and saluted: "I have met your Majesty."
Xiao Chengye felt empty in his heart and felt even more uncomfortable.
His son, since he recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan, he has almost never been called father.
He originally thought that as time went by and the father and son developed a relationship, he would naturally be willing to call him father. But as soon as this incident came out, the third child would be even more reluctant to call him.
Xiao Chengye asked him to stand up and said: "Concubine Shu..."
"I know!" Lou Yan took Xiao Chengye's words and said calmly: "What does your Majesty want me to do?"
Xiao Chengye: "..."
Yes, what does he want the third child to do?
The relationship between Concubine Shu and the third child is a secret and cannot be known to others, so the third child cannot be allowed to perform filial piety in bed.
He didn't think about this when he heard the news, he just called Lao San over as soon as possible.
Xiao Chengye was silent for a moment, and then said: "The palace is in chaos now. I am afraid that I am not energetic enough and have no time to deal with some things. Please stay with me and help me."
Lou Yan nodded: "Yes."
He stood sideways next to Xiao Chengye, looking intently at the closed door of Changning Palace.
The queen and the concubines were still kneeling on the ground, but at this time they were looking at Lou Yan who was standing next to the emperor intentionally or unintentionally.
Something like this happened in the palace. The emperor did not ask the prince to help, but took this illegitimate son with him with him.
In the past, they only regarded the sudden appearance of the third prince as a joke. But now, they had to re-examine the existence of the third prince.
The Queen tightened her hands on Xiao Chengye's clothes, took a deep breath for the last time, looked up at Xiao Chengye, and comforted softly: "There are imperial doctors taking care of Changning Palace, and Concubine Shu also has people who are waiting for her, so nothing will happen. Your Majesty, you Dragon Body
It’s important, let’s go back first.”
The concubines kneeling behind the queen also echoed.
"Yes, Your Majesty's dragon body is important."
"Your Majesty, please go back quickly. Don't get over your illness."
…
The queen waited for the group of concubines behind her to calm down, and then said: "I will have Changning Palace temporarily closed. After Concubine Shu... recovers, the palace gates will be opened again."
Xiao Chengye frowned and remained silent.
Lou Yan's eyes moved from the door of Changning Palace to the Queen at some point, and he looked at her condescendingly, and he didn't know how long he looked at her.
Seeing Xiao Chengye's silence getting longer and longer, Lou Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
"Your Majesty, please go back," Lou Yan said calmly: "Your Majesty is concerned about the safety of the world and must not be harmed in the slightest. Consumption is not a trivial matter, and Your Majesty cannot take risks."
Xiao Chengye was stunned, but he didn't expect that it was the third child who started to persuade him.
Xiao Chengye hesitated: "But..."
"Let me stay in Changning Palace," Lou Yan said slowly, "I know that Your Majesty is worried about Concubine Shu, so let me stay and take care of Concubine Shu on your behalf until Concubine Shu recovers."
Xiao Chengye didn't even think about it, he just said subconsciously: "No!"
That's tuberculosis, it's not an ordinary disease, it's contagious.
Lou Yan turned his head and looked at Xiao Chengye. He was silent for a while and said, "I will protect myself and won't let anything happen to me. Let me go...Father."
When the last two words were shouted out, Xiao Chengye was stunned.
He finally heard these two words, but he was not happy at all. He only felt sad.
After a while, Xiao Chengye opened his mouth and said, "As you wish!"
Lou Yan immediately lowered his head to thank him.
Before he turned around and entered Changning Palace, he said to Xiao Chengye: "Father, I have another unkind request."
Xiao Chengye: "Say."
"If Princess Anshun asks to see her, or if something happens to her, please pay more attention to her," Lou Yan said.
Before Xiao Chengye could speak, the queen who had already stood up suddenly said: "No."
The emperor turned his head to look at the queen, frowning.
The Queen immediately changed her expression, lowered her voice and said, "I know that Your Majesty loves Princess Anshun, but things are different now. I have already asked, who did Princess Anshun come to Changning Palace to see Concubine Shu today?
Do you know if she has been infected? To be safe, we should not let her enter the palace for the time being."
Lou Yan's face was a little colder than before.
He did not look at the queen, only stared at Xiao Chengye and shouted: "Father?"
Xiao Chengye closed his eyes and said to Lou Yan: "Okay, I understand. Just go, I'm outside."
The queen's expression changed: "Your Majesty, no..."
"That's enough!" Xiao Chengye interrupted the queen and said in a deep voice: "I have my own opinion."
The queen pursed her lips and did not dare to say a word.
Lou Yan nodded to Xiao Chengye, turned around and entered Changning Palace.
The gate of Changning Palace was closed again.
Xiao Chengye closed his eyes, stood for a moment, then walked away.
As soon as the emperor left, the concubines also claimed that something was wrong and turned around and left.
Outside the gate of Changning Palace, in the blink of an eye, only the queen was left.
The maid next to her said softly: "Queen, please go back."
The queen lost her gentleness just now, now she had a cold face and a chill all over her body.
"Your Majesty really cares about her, so he also pays special attention to the bastard she gave birth to!" The queen said with a cold face and a very unkind tone.
The palace maid lowered her head and said softly: "Why do you need to be angry with them? Your Majesty just saw that they were pitiful, so you showed a little more mercy. Speaking of valuing, you are not the most important thing to Your Majesty? Your Majesty has just given birth.
The eldest son was named the prince, and even the fourth highness was particularly favored by His Majesty. In His Majesty's heart, the empress is the most important."
The Queen snorted coldly and said: "But I think they are an eyesore to their mother and son!"
The palace maid whispered: "Queen, don't be in a hurry. This time I have tuberculosis. I don't believe they can come out alive."
"It better be so!"
The queen glanced at the closed Changning Palace, turned around and walked out.
As he walked, he whispered: "The imperial doctor will take good care of this concubine. Also, don't forget about the small kitchen, but let them take good care of the mother and son. Don't do it."
Too lazy."
The palace maid responded in a low voice: "Slave, I must let them take good care of you."
Outside Changning Palace, the last group of people had already left.
In Changning Palace, Lou Yan was blocked by Lou Shulan, who refused to let him in.
Lou Shulan was a little excited. She coughed and said sternly: "Who asked you to come? Get out and get out of here!"
Lou Yan stood outside the door and prayed: "Let me in and I will take care of you!"
"I don't need your care, go back!" Lou Shulan coughed violently, and it took a lot of effort to say every word: "If you dare to come in, I will die in front of you immediately!"
