Madam Wu said softly: "Does the girl know? In the past two days, another rumor has emerged from the palace."

"Rumor?"

I was a little lazy and lowered my eyelids slightly.

I spent the night in Pei Yuanhao's bedroom, and even the imperial concubine became seriously ill. The emperor had not been there for a whole night. I had long thought of any rumors inside and outside the palace.

I'm even lazy to listen.

So he said lightly: "The Zuo is just those people who are gossiping."

Madam Wu said: "This is not gossiping..."

"I did spend one night in the emperor's bedroom last night, but it wasn't-"

"Girl," Madam Wu interrupted me worriedly: "The rumor is not about what happened last night."

"Oh?" This surprised me a little and looked up at her: "What's that?"

Madam Wu looked back and Su Su was still serving Miaoyan carefully. Neither of them paid attention to us, so she lowered her voice and said, "In the past two days, someone has been talking about one thing - it is about Lord Nangong's nephew, the Lord Qu who was assassinated."

I frowned slightly: "What's going on about him? What's the matter?"

Madam Wu simply squatted down and leaned into my ear and said softly: "Some people say that Lord Qu's death was because someone leaked his whereabouts."

"oh?"

Recalling, Pei Yuanhao did say before that when Qu Xueyi rushed to Shaanxi, he did not make a big fuss, but was light and simple. He was assassinated by someone, and it must be that the person who took action knew his itinerary in advance, and it may indeed be leaked in advance.

However, my heart suddenly moved and turned to look at Madam Wu: "So what?"

"So," her voice lowered: "Some people said that it was the people from the harem who spread the news."

"What?!" I was shocked and stared at her: "Someone said that?"

"Yes."

“…”

I suddenly became cold all over my body.

Qu Xueyi's trip to Shaanxi was not very popular, but was acted under the emperor's secret call. Naturally, no one in the court knew his behavior. If you want to say that the harem leaked this news, would you say--

Madam Wu was still looking at me, with a slight cold sweat on her forehead: "I see, they have already pointed."

"..." I pursed my lips and stopped talking.

This incident was directed to Xichuan before. Fortunately, Pei Yuanhao had a frank talk and told him that Yan Qingchen’s current plans were told, which made him feel relieved. Although I also knew that those people in the court might not be willing to give up, I didn’t expect that they would start to make trouble again at such a quick time.

Moreover, this statement is not only directed at Xichuan, but also to me who lives in Jingren Palace!

Thinking of this, my breathing became a little tighter.

Looking back on the past two days, the eunuchs and maids in the palace looked at me, pointing behind my back, and talking in a low voice. At that time, I was still wondering, and now I understand it. Moreover, in the morning, Eunuch Yu sent me back to Jingren Palace, and along the way, he seemed restless.

It turned out that it was for this matter.

Moreover, there was obviously someone behind this incident, otherwise it would not have spread so quickly, and even Madam Wu, who has always been quiet and indifferent, took the initiative to speak up.

Just as I frowned and thought hard, Madam Wu said softly: "Girl, this matter is coming to you regardless of whether it is open or secret. You must deal with it well."

I nodded: "I get it."

She then stepped down.

I was still sitting there without moving. After a while, I picked up the cup of tea. My eyes were reflected in the swaying tea, which was a little distorted, and my mind began to turn around.

It is not surprising that the people in the court targeted me. However, the problem is that when this incident was the most serious, it never involved the leak of news from the harem. But in the past two days, such a statement began to appear.

It's neither too early nor too late, but it's at this time.

Is there any meaning at this time?

The day passed quickly and peacefully.

Perhaps because everyone in the harem focused on Yuhua Palace, other places seemed a little lonely. Jingren Palace seemed to be deserted. Only during lunch, the people in the imperial kitchen had just brought meals, and Eunuch Yu came.

As soon as he entered the door, he said, "The emperor asked the old slave to come and see the girl, and also the princess."

I was stunned: "What are you looking at?"

"Just take a look."

“…”

I was a little confused, and then smiled and said, "We are here and we haven't gone anywhere."

Eunuch Yu hurriedly said, "The girl has misunderstood. The emperor didn't let the old slave see the girl and the princess, but--"

He didn't say anything further after he said this, but just looked at me with a smile.

Then I understood.

Probably Pei Yuanhao ordered "Go and see them", so he came, but there are some things to pay attention to when looking at and when going back.

After all, Eunuch Yu is also an old man in the palace. He is versatile and said with a smile: "The Imperial Concubine's illness is indeed too urgent. Now several imperial physicians are still treating him, and the emperor is really unable to escape-"

It turned out that he was explaining to me for him.

I smiled faintly in my heart and said, "I understand."

Eunuch Yu couldn't continue to say what happened next.

I thought about it and asked, "Has the imperial concubine's condition improved?"

Eunuch Yu was silent for a moment, and there was a rare trace of worry in his eyes, saying, "The Imperial Concubine's illness this time was too urgent. Fortunately, the emperor went over and stabilized, but the few imperial physicians could not see the crux of the problem, so it was still a bit tricky."

I nodded and said calmly: "Since that's the case, then father-in-law should go back and serve quickly. I have nothing to do here, and His Royal Highness the Princess is fine."

Eunuch Yu looked back and Miaoyan was indeed sitting there obediently. Susu served a bowl of rice for her. She took it obediently and ate it with her chopsticks.

When he left, Miaoyan raised his head and looked at his back, holding the bowl, with a little eyes wide open.

I said softly, "Miaoyan, what's wrong?"

She shook her head quickly: "It's nothing." After saying that, she lowered her head and started to cook rice.

I looked at her for a while, but after all, I didn't say anything, just sighed softly.

I spent an afternoon quietly like this. At night, I let her go to bed early. This time, after practicing the method of conjuring the soul, she looked much quieter than before, but she was less stable when she slept. It seemed that she was always having nightmares. She was often seen frowning and nervous and uneasy.

I don't know what kind of dream she was experiencing.

I leaned against the bed and read the book for a while until I felt a little tired, so I closed the book and prepared to lie down and go to bed.

But as soon as I lay down, there was a knock on the door outside.

Twist twist.

I couldn't help but frown.

Of course I knew that no one else in this palace would come to knock on my door in the middle of the night. There were some in the past, but that was taken to me for trial. But the knocking sound was very gentle, and it didn't seem like the imperial concubine was dragging me over to ask what was going on because she was seriously ill.

I got up and went downstairs, put on a piece of clothing, walked over and opened the door, and saw Pei Yuanhao standing at the door.

There was still a hint of fatigue on his face, but as soon as the door opened, I wonder if it was because the candlelight in the room shone on his face, his eyes lit up and his face lit up.

"I haven't fallen asleep yet?"

I pulled my clothes tightly: "Just going to bed."

"Where is the wonderful words?"

"Sleep."

"I want to go in and see her."

“…”

The wind outside was blowing loudly. After standing for a while, my hands and feet were already cold. But he didn't break in directly like before, and he was still standing at the door and looking at me quietly.

Actually, I was a little stunned.

The imperial concubine's illness has not improved yet. At least now, I haven't heard anyone from Chang Qing come to pass the message. I thought he would stay there tonight, but I didn't expect that he would come, which made me feel like "I won't go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble."

However, a father came over late at night to see his daughter, and he could not be ignored.

I thought for a while and whispered, "Sound it a little bit."

Then he took a step back.

A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he hurriedly walked in and closed the door with his backhand. Because he was still covered with the cold outside, he walked to the table and reached for a candlestick to bake it, and then walked to the bed. Miaoyan was already asleep and had no idea about his arrival.

He looked at his daughter intently, with wrinkles laughing at the corners of his eyes, and said softly: "How is she today?"

"I'm still good."

“Did you eat a lot?”

"Eat one bowl, and half a bowl of soup."
