The dusk was deep, and the dark clouds slowly covered the meager moonlight. The palace people who had been busy all day also got a little chance to breathe.
"Mother, it's getting late. Do you want to go to bed now?"
Hong'er carefully lit the candle in Qimeng Palace, then turned sideways and asked Lai Feiyan quietly.
Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Lai Feiyan has always felt very sleepy recently. Every day, besides sleeping, she eats, and her body becomes more and more mellow.
"Yeah, that's fine."
Lai Feiyan responded calmly. After all, since the emperor knew that she was pregnant, he rarely came to Qimeng Palace. On the surface, he said that he wanted her to have a good health, but in fact... it was just because Lai Feiyan was pregnant and could not
Just waiting for bed!
Hong'er stepped forward and gently took off Lai Feiyan's clothes, acting cautiously, for fear of accidentally bumping into the moody Concubine Li in front of her!
Just when Lai Feiyan lay on the bed and prepared to go to bed, suddenly, someone from the palace came outside to report that the emperor was here!
What is the emperor doing at this time?
Lai Feiyan was a little confused, but she still endured the discomfort and prepared to get up to greet the driver!
"There is no need to be polite, Libi! Lie down quickly!"
As soon as the emperor entered the inner room, he saw Lai Feiyan pushing herself up and about to get up. So he quickly stepped forward to comfort her!
"emperor……"
When Lai Feiyan saw that the emperor still cared about her, tears of grievance burst out of her eyes.
Seeing this, the emperor hurriedly sat down by the bed, held Lai Feiyan in his arms, and whispered softly. He used all the intimate names he had given her on the bed to coax her!
After a while, Lai Feiyan's sadness turned into joy, and she was squealing and acting coquettishly in the emperor's arms!
"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly think of my concubine tonight?"
Lai Feiyan was still complaining in her words. The emperor came so suddenly, she didn't believe that the emperor thought of her for no reason!
"I have something to worry about. I happened to pass by Qimeng Palace, so I thought I would come and see you!"
Of course the emperor would not say it bluntly. He came here to inquire about Bai Yanqing! The emperor had many daughters, and he could just talk about these words to please women!
"It's hard for your Majesty to remember this concubine!"
Lai Feiyan's tone was light, and neither sadness nor joy could be heard.
"Why is the emperor bothered by something? If you don't mind, why don't you talk to me about it?"
Lai Feiyan was certainly not a fool. She understood that the emperor coming to see her so late must have something else to do, so she opened her mouth and gave the emperor a reason to talk!
Lai Feiyan's words were exactly what the emperor wanted. If she asked her question, of course he would follow her words! After all, he was originally here to ask Lai Feiyan about something!
"It's not because of the Bai family daughter... Now, she is lying on the bed, unconscious, and the hospital is helpless... Hey..."
Hearing that Bai Yanqing was unconscious, Lai Feiyan was very happy! But she couldn't show it too much. After all, she had to solve the emperor's problems!
"Then what do you think, Your Majesty?"
As the saying goes, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and the emperor's heart is also the most unpredictable! Lai Feiyan was afraid that she might say the wrong thing and annoy the emperor in front of her again, so she followed the emperor's words and asked him questions!
The emperor's heart was actually a little loose. He heard what Ji Nanyan said with his own ears, and heard what Concubine Xian said about the rumors about Bai Yanqing. He already had some other thoughts about this matter in his mind.
!But the emperor, in fact, deep down in his heart, he still
He was a little reluctant to let Bai Yanqing out of the palace so easily! So, he ran over to ask Lai Feiyan, but he just wanted to hear unfavorable things about Bai Yanqing from her mouth, not to listen to Lai Feiyan's advice.
Him, let him keep Bai Yanqing!
Once a person has made a decision in his heart, in fact, if he listens to other people's opinions, he just wants the other person to strengthen his own ideas!
"I heard that Li Bin was raised in the Bai family since she was a child. She must know a lot about the eldest lady of the Bai family. I wonder... Li Bin thinks, what kind of person is the eldest lady of the Bai family?
"
The emperor held Lai Feiyan in his arms and spoke very gently, as if coaxing a child.
Hearing this, Lai Feiyan was stunned for a moment. She secretly thought about how she should answer the emperor's words in order to satisfy both the emperor and that... masked man in black!
If Lai Feiyan really wanted to speak ill of Bai Yanqing, she would have said it for three days and three nights without even taking a breath!
"The emperor also knows that although I have been raised in the Bai family since childhood, the eldest lady of the Bai family has not been raised in the Bai family these years! Therefore, my impression of her is not very profound! If you really want to
To tell you one thing, that is...Bai Yanqing's temperament is not very pleasing to people.
Moreover, she has not been in good health since she was a child. Previously, an old fortune teller once said that Bai Yanqing is weak in body and energy, which can easily affect the Bai family's luck! Therefore... my concubine's grandmother has never liked her very much, so in
When he was young, he was sent out of the house to be raised!"
Lai Feiyan's words are half true and half false. If you weren't a member of the Bai family, it would be difficult to tell the truth from the false!
Bai Yanqing's temperament is indeed not very likable! It's just that she doesn't like the old ladies of the Bai family, Ren Shi and Lai Feiyan!
Bai Yanqing is indeed in poor health. That's because she was framed by Lai Feiyan and fell into the water when she was a child, leaving behind illnesses!
As for the old fortune teller that Lai Feiyan mentioned, that is purely a myth! After all, Bai Jingxuan has always not believed in the stories of strange powers and gods, so the Bai Mansion has never allowed those fortune tellers to enter the house!
Bai Jingxuan doesn't believe this, but the emperor does! Everyone who has been an emperor since ancient times has believed in luck! If it is true as Lai Feiyan said, there was an old fortune teller who said that Bai Yanqing's bad fortune will affect the family's luck, then instead
In other words, Bai Yanqing's stay in the palace will affect the luck of the royal family! This matter... Speaking of which, it is serious!
Earlier, Ji Nanyan said that Bai Yanqing was an unlucky person! Later, a virtuous concubine said that the Bai family disliked Bai Yanqing as an unlucky person! Now, Lai Feiyan said that Bai Yanqing has a bad destiny and affects the family's luck... these things
Everyone said that Bai Yanqing staying in the palace was not a good thing for the royal family!
Then he thought about it, Bai Yanqing had been seriously ill for less than a month after entering the palace, and there were all kinds of disturbances in the palace. All these things were connected together, and the emperor had to start to question, this eldest lady of the Bai family,
Is it true? It is not conducive to the luck of the royal family!
"However, the Emperor is the True Dragon Emperor and has the energy of a True Dragon to protect his body. Naturally, he will not be affected by someone with bad luck like Bai Yanqing!"
Lai Feiyan added another sentence at the right time. It seemed to be to appease the emperor's mood, but in fact, it was to add another fire to the emperor's heart!
After all, as an emperor, who wouldn't be afraid of having such a person around him who can affect the fate of the royal family at any time?
The emperor held Lai Feiyan in his arms and was thinking to himself. When he came to his senses again, he saw that the person in his arms had already closed his eyes and slept for a long time! The emperor put Lai Fei down gently and carefully helped her.
Tucked in the quilt, then turned around and strode away! At the moment when the palace man closed the palace door, no one noticed that the person who was supposed to be sleeping on the bed was slowly opening his eyes.
!
Lai Feiyan originally wanted to keep Bai Yanqing in the palace, so that she could use her status as a concubine to suppress Bai Yanqing! But now, Bai Yanqing is seriously ill and is obviously hopeless, so leaving Bai Yanqing in the palace is not a good idea.
Not much fun anymore!
Therefore, Lai Feiyan was not forced to help, it was just a convenient thing! To make the emperor hate Bai Yanqing from the bottom of his heart and taboo Bai Yanqing, this is what Lai Feiyan wanted to do!
…
The emperor who left Qimeng Palace immediately returned to the Royal Study! He immediately wrote an imperial edict in his hand and ordered people to pass it on to Qiyun Palace overnight! As if he was afraid that if he hesitated for a moment longer, the fate of the Yun family would be ruined by Bai Yanqing.
It seems like it was destroyed!
"Your Highness! The Emperor's decree has arrived!"
Yuan Ziyue, who was waiting outside Qiyun Hall, saw the Grand Eunuch coming with the imperial edict from a distance through the meager light! He hurried back to the hall and informed Yun Qi.
Hearing this, Yun Qi quickly raised his head. After seeing the affirmation in Yuan Ziyue's eyes, Yun Qi quickly raised his hand, ruffled his hair, and grabbed his clothes until they were wrinkled, and then stood up, stumbling toward the door.
Run away.
"Oh, Your Highness, the First Prince, what's wrong with you? Why are you in such a mess?"
When the Grand Eunuch saw Yun Qi's embarrassment, he couldn't bear it, so he quickly raised his hand to steady Yun Qi, who was swaying and seemed about to fall!
"My lord, why are you here? My wife... my wife, can't she wake up? I'm going to beg my father..."
Yun Qi raised his head, pretending that he had just seen the Grand Eunuch. Then, he cried and tugged on the Grand Eunuch's sleeves, begging him to accompany him to see the emperor.
"Your Highness, isn't this the old slave who brought you the emperor's imperial edict?"
The Grand Eunuch looked at the wrinkled sleeves that were pulled by Yun Qi, his eyes full of helplessness, and he quickly took out the emperor's imperial edict!
Yun Qi tremblingly took the imperial edict from the Grand Eunuch's hand, then raised his hand...wiped away his tears and shouted: "Thank you, Father, for your grace!"
"Your Highness, the eldest prince, it is better to arrange for Miss Bai to leave the palace as soon as possible... I'm afraid it will be too late..."
The Grand Eunuch hesitated to speak, but finally sighed and turned to leave.
"I will search for famous doctors, and I will definitely cure my wife!"
Yunqi's sworn words did not elicit a response from the Grand Eunuch. Perhaps, in the eyes of the Grand Eunuch, Bai Yanqing was already a dying person!
It is now midnight, and at this hour, the palace gate has long been closed.
"Your Highness, are we leaving the palace early tomorrow morning?"
Caixing came forward and asked urgently. She had been waiting for this imperial edict for a long time! If the emperor didn't issue the edict again, she would be so afraid of her young lady that she wouldn't be able to hold on any longer!
"No, let's leave the palace now!"
Yunqi squeezed the imperial edict in his hand and said to Caixing! He didn't want to wait any longer!
When Cai Xing heard this, she immediately turned around and went back to the inner room to pack her things! She didn't want to stay in this ruined palace even for one more second!
Fortunately, Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing didn't bring much with them when they entered the palace. Even these daily changes of clothes were sent by Yun Qi's order after entering the palace! It only took half a stick of incense, Cai Xing
That’s it!
"Your Highness, can we leave?"
Cai Xing simply put the things they brought when they entered the palace into a bag, and then carried them on her back carelessly. The posture seemed like at this moment, if Yunqi didn't come out of the palace, she would look for him.
Like desperately!
"Ziyue, go and tell the third prince that... we are leaving the palace! Don't worry about him! You go back quickly and we will meet at the palace gate!"
After giving instructions to Yuan Ziyue, Yun Qi turned around, picked up Bai Yanqing who was unconscious on the bed, and then took Yuan Li and Cai Xing and walked toward the palace entrance!
