Zhao Miaoqing closed her eyes and had no idea that the person who walked in was Zhao Huan.
Ever since Zhao Huan walked into Hanxiang Pavilion, he was shocked by the desolate and dilapidated scene in front of him. Even if he saw it with his own eyes, it would be difficult to imagine that this place full of fallen leaves and mottled walls was the inner garden of the palace.
Anyone sent to a place like this is probably waiting to die.
Zhao Huan secretly felt a cold sweat for Emperor Chongde. It was hard to imagine what kind of life she had lived during this period.
And in a place like this, there isn't even a guard.
Zhao Huan walked into the inner house easily without any warning.
When he saw the woman lying on the bed, thin and pale, almost exhausted, Zhao Huan's heart suddenly tugged.
Although they had not seen each other for many years, Zhao Huan still recognized at a glance that the miserable woman in front of him was his best sister Chongde Diji!
On the way here, Zhao Huan had already inquired with the deputy general manager.
As early as three years ago, Princess Chongde had already contracted the disease. Due to the long-term treatment and the difficulty in recovering from the disease, the maid who had been serving Emperor Chongde suddenly died suddenly.
Queen Xiansu was worried that Emperor Chongde would be infected with the epidemic, so she ordered her to be moved here. It was more of a house arrest and isolation than a resting place.
It’s no wonder that Queen Xiansu is unkind. After all, epidemics are not a trivial matter in the palace. Once a large-scale outbreak occurs, even the Queen cannot afford the price.
It is already a miracle that Emperor Chongde can survive to this day.
but……
Zhao Huan felt lucky in his heart. He thought he was suffering from a serious illness, but being able to persist for so many years showed that it was not a serious illness.
A large number of people these days are not killed by the disease, but because they do not receive targeted treatment after contracting the disease, and then their bodies are broken down, and finally they die of heart failure.
Zhao Huan walked gently to the bedside, and the more he looked at it, the more distressed he became.
Although the weather has turned cooler, except for morning and night, it is still very hot at noon.
However, Emperor Chongde was covered with a thick quilt, and because she was sweating constantly, she looked unkempt, and she no longer had any of the dignity of the Emperor.
Without any hesitation, Zhao Huan reached out and grabbed a corner of the quilt and lifted the entire quilt directly.
Suddenly, a pungent sour smell hit my face.
No one knows how long it has been since Chongde Emperor Ji took a bath, and even her underwear was dyed deep yellow by sweat accumulated over a long period of time.
In addition, the entire inner house was filled with a foul smell.
This was because the maid was worried that Emperor Ji would be exposed to wind and did not dare to let her go out to perform her duties, so she left the urinal in the room.
Coupled with the lack of maintenance here, mosquitoes keep flying in...
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhao Huan would never believe that his sister was living in such a filthy environment!
Because the quilt was suddenly lifted, Zhao Miaoqing was startled. She quickly opened her eyes and found that the person standing in front of her was not Chun Yue, but a man. She suddenly became extremely nervous.
"You...who are you?"
"This is the inner garden, how come there are men?"
"I am Emperor Ji, how dare you be rude to me?"
Zhao Miaoqing's body couldn't help trembling, and her eyes stared at Zhao Huan in surprise and panic.
Although the eldest brother whom he misses so much is right in front of him, Zhao Miaoqing can no longer recognize him. After all, Zhao Huan has changed so much over the years. Even if he is described as "reborn", it is not an exaggeration at all.
At this moment, Chun Yue heard Zhao Miaoqing's voice and hurried back.
Chun Yue was shocked and angry when she discovered that a man had appeared in the inner house and even lifted Di Ji's quilt.
"Who are you? You are so brave!"
"This is the inner garden of the palace. No man except Your Majesty is allowed to approach it."
"Oh my god, how dare you be rude to Di Ji, I'm going to call someone to arrest you!"
Chunyue threatened, but did not dare to leave even half a step away. After all, Di Ji was extremely weak now, how could she be left alone with this bold and strange man in front of her?
Seeing that the man ignored her, Chun Yue quickly turned around and shouted out the door: "Here, someone is rushing to Di Ji, please capture this bold thief quickly."
The entire Hanxiang Pavilion was empty, and naturally there was no response.
The deputy general manager and a group of young eunuchs guarding the gate naturally heard Chunyue's voice, but were indifferent.
Just when Chun Yue was in a panic, Zhao Huan slowly turned around and looked at Chun Yue, with a cold expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Are you the only maid in the entire Hanxiang Pavilion?"
Chunyue didn't know where the guy in front of her came from, but when she felt his sharp eyes, she knew that this guy had an extraordinary origin.
"Yes... so what? This is the inner garden, I advise you to take care of yourself."
Faced with Chun Yue's threats, Zhao Huan was not angry, but said calmly: "Emperor Chongde has been isolated as an epidemic. Although you have worked hard to serve the emperor, other palaces will not want you anymore." , no matter how lucky you are, you will only be sent to the cold palace to serve the sinful concubine."
"For the sake of Emperor Ji, I can send you out of the palace. As for getting married or making other plans, it depends on you."
After saying that, Zhao Huan took out a banknote from his sleeve and handed it to Chun Yue.
Chunyue looked at Zhao Huan and then at the five hundred taels of silver notes in his hand. She was completely confused.
The guy in front of me is obviously extremely bold, but he doesn't look like a bad guy...
"What? You don't plan to leave the palace?"
Faced with Zhao Huan's inquiry, Chun Yue suddenly became entangled: "This... this is the imperial palace. No matter how powerful you are, how can you decide my stay at will?"
Zhao Huan did not explain, walked to the door, and shouted in the direction of the door: "Come in."
Under Chunyue's stunned gaze, the door was pushed open and the deputy general manager came quickly.
Chunyue recognized the deputy general manager at a glance and was shocked. The deputy general manager's status in the harem was so high, why would he look down on this strange man?
Before Chun Yue could regain her senses, the deputy general manager had already stood in front of Zhao Huan and bowed respectfully.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Prince?!
Chun Yue was stunned again. She looked at Zhao Huan blankly and said in surprise: "Are you King Yun? Or... King Su?"
In Chun Yue's knowledge, only Di Ji's biological brother from both father and mother could come to visit Di Ji.
Moreover, the royal concubine's status in the palace is very high, and relying on this relationship, she can indeed be treated with caution by the deputy general manager.
But at this time, the deputy general manager winked at Chunyue and said in a deep voice: "You damn girl, you are so blind, why don't you hurry up and salute King Ding!"
King Ding?
The man in front of me is not Prince Yunsu, but... the eldest son of the Song Emperor, Prince Ding?!
Zhao Miaoqing, who was seriously ill, was also stunned.
