Chapter 325 Accident
Your Majesty has given the order and action will be taken soon.
Li Huaiqing took Ai Ying and hurried to the palace. On the way, they met King Youshan who was also exhausted.
The two looked at each other, neither of them wanted to see the other, and they didn't even have the basic courtesy to greet each other.
Li Huaiqing was very nice to the servant Ling Yu who led the way, and asked in a low voice why the emperor was so anxious to summon them into the palace.
Ling Yu was not interested in anything, but just reminded the two adults,
"His Majesty is furious. If he asks you any questions, you must carefully consider your answers and not hide anything."
Xiao Zhengdu understood that he was in trouble.
Li Huaiqing pondered over this and realized the problem. He stopped asking questions and stood up with a solemn expression and lowered brows. He thought about what he had done wrong.
And what might be known to His Majesty.
After considering for a long time and making sure that everything was foolproof, Li Huaiqing confidently stepped into His Majesty's study with Youshan King Xiao Zhengdu.
On this side, Lou Xiao returned to Xiefang Palace, but saw Xiao Zhengze holding a bowl of medicine with a look of disgust on his face.
Seeing Lou Xiao coming, Xiao Zhengze's face instantly brightened up, and he pushed the medicine bowl into the waiter's hand, trying to take this opportunity to deny it.
However, he didn't expect that Lou Xiao would take the medicine bowl from the waiter and put it in front of him.
Xiao Zhengze had no choice but to drink it in front of Lou Xiao with a frown on his face.
After drinking, he fell on the bed and groaned, waiting for Lou Xiao to come and coax him.
However, he didn't expect that Lou Xiao would just sit beside his bed and not say a word, as if she already knew his intention and was calm and composed.
Maybe it was because Lou Xiao had been so nice recently that Xiao Zhengze got spoiled. He stood up and complained,
"I feel bad! How come you don't react at all!"
Lou Xiao felt that after finding out the reason and staying away from those treasures, Xiao Zhengze should get better, so she was no longer as obedient to him as she was at the beginning.
It was just like when they were in Yunwu Mountain, she was against him but couldn't help taking care of him at the same time, she was determined to make him obedient.
"I think you're fine. You still have the energy to hum. There shouldn't be any serious problems."
Lou Xiao pinched his face.
"I don't know what it's like for you to be really upset? Akara, stop messing around."
She called him by the nickname she had given him on Yunwu Mountain. Xiao Zhengze, who had no principles, softened when he heard it.
"It's just that the medicine is too bitter. Just comfort me, like you did a few days ago and it will be fine."
He complained, half-seriously, "This medicine is so bitter. After I drank it, I had a weird odor on my body. No amount of incense can suppress it. It's so awful."
He looked at Lou Xiao and guessed what she was going to say as soon as she opened her mouth. He answered in a long voice,
"Good medicine tastes bitter but helps the disease - OK, OK, I know!"
Lou Xiao burst out laughing. The fact that he had the energy to joke with her did indicate that his health might be getting better.
So she added, "I just hope you get better soon. The whole palace is looking forward to your recovery. You must do your best."
Xiao Zhengze patted the seat next to him and motioned for her to sit down.
Then he leaned close to her ear and retorted,
"I'll tell you a secret. Everyone in the palace is looking forward to my death."
"Nonsense." Lou Xiao patted his head, "Don't think about these things while you are recovering.
You are His Majesty's brother, who would dare to wish you dead?"
Xiao Zhengze knew that Lou Xiao would never understand the cruelty of the royal family. He moved his body and leaned his head on her shoulder.
She looked very submissive, "Xiaoxiao, when I get better, let's get married right away."
He always felt that the longer the night goes, the more trouble he would have. He was afraid that Lou Xiao would go back on her promise and let others take advantage of her.
"It all depends on your Majesty's opinion. Your royal family has a lot of rules for weddings. Just hearing the Ministry of Rites mention it that day was enough to give me a headache."
In fact, Lou Hong was also waiting for the Queen's attitude. The imperial edict had not yet been issued, so the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion could only pretend not to know.
However, some people in the mansion were happy while others were worried, and no one knew how Yu Jing felt when he heard the news.
Lou Xiao had been staying in the palace for many days. When Lou Hong sent something to Lou Xiao, he asked her privately whether she really wanted to marry the King of Hanhai.
Lou Xiao only said in an ambiguous tone, "I will obey your majesty's orders."
Lou Hong sighed, "If we want to marry into the royal family, there are too many things to prepare. I'm afraid the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion won't be able to gather them all in a short period of time.
Your Majesty, has your decree not been issued yet? If it is confirmed, I will send people to the south to buy."
"Wait a minute." Lou Xiao couldn't explain why His Majesty seemed to have forgotten about this matter, but she didn't want to remind him.
The most urgent matter now is Xiao Zhengze's condition, and there are a large number of suspected poisonous gems in the palace.
Xiao Zhengdu and Li Huaiqing were both called into the palace. As the investigation continues, many lives will surely be implicated.
Just when the storm was about to come, Lou Xiao told Lou Hong to be more cautious recently and to keep the house stable. If someone came to ask him to do something, he must be careful not to cause any disaster.
Lou Hong realized that something was wrong in the palace, and the first thing he thought of was the health of Hanhai King Xiao Zhengze. Could there be something fishy?
He asked carefully, "Is it His Highness...?"
"Don't talk too much." Lou Xiao glared at me, "Just listen. If you are bored, clean up the storehouse in the mansion, compile the sources of the things into a book, and bring it to me for review."
She couldn't say it too clearly now in case the news leaked out.
Lou Hong nodded his head and said yes.
She was alone in the palace, and it seemed that she was not as comfortable as he thought. It was true that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger.
But now everyone knows that the storm is coming, and even Lou Xiao cannot reveal the things that may cause a bloody storm.
Lou Hong appreciated her hard work and whispered before leaving, "Take care."
In return, Lou Xiao smiled, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will do my best to protect the Zhenguo Mansion."
So don't worry.
Lou Hong wanted to say that he was just worried about her and did not ask for anything else.
But Lou Xiao had already turned around and waved his hand to let the palace servants send him away.
She was paying attention to the situation on His Majesty's side, and soon a shocking piece of news came.
Li Huaiqing was reprimanded by His Majesty, dismissed from his position, and sent home to reflect on his mistakes.
Lou Hong, who returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, listened to Lou Xiao's advice and tried to keep a low profile, but there were too many people coming to inquire about his whereabouts, so he simply stayed indoors under the pretext that the old lady was unwell.
However, he still couldn't stop the endless stream of messages. Because Lou Xiao was there, he had the courage to ignore them.
But there was one thing that made him hesitate.
"Have you never doubted her background? His Majesty said she is from the Lou family, is she?
If I tell you that she is just a bastard, without any blood of the Lou family, and that she is just a tool used by His Majesty to seize the title of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion..."
