At the beginning of the bright lights, every corner of the palace was lit, and the whole palace seemed to be falling on the stars. Lu Shuang'er stood on the stone steps of Kunning Palace, looking at the road ahead, expecting a tall figure to appear.
She waited for a long time, but still didn't see the person she wanted to see.
The little eunuch who went to inquire about the news came back and knelt down in front of her respectfully, "Your Majesty, the emperor just left the imperial study and went towards the prince's residence."
The tense look on Lu Shuang'er's face eased a little. There are no other concubines in the palace, but it doesn't mean that there are no other women. Which of those court ladies is not desperate to get Mo Rongzhan's attention
If she doesn't pay close attention, those lowly maidservants don't know what they will do.
"Madam, the little prince is seriously ill, it is normal for the emperor to visit him." Dai Ping whispered beside her.
Lu Shuang'er smiled faintly, "Of course I know, tell me, should I visit the little prince, anyway, he is also my uncle."
Dai Ping did not speak, but a silent aunt next to her glanced at Lu Shuang'er, wanting to remind the noble concubine that no matter how noble the concubine is, she is only a concubine, not a queen, and she does not have the status to visit the little prince.
If Concubine Lu Guifei's words were spread, people would definitely laugh at them.
No matter how much a noble concubine is favored, she is still just a concubine.
Lu Shuang'er looked back at her, "Aunt He, what do you think?"
Auntie He lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty cares about the young prince. If the Empress Dowager and the Emperor know about it, they will naturally understand your intentions. However, if it is not appropriate for your Majesty to go to the Prince's residence after all, it is better to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to take care of him first."
"What you said makes sense." After all, the prince's place is not a place where the concubines of the harem can go casually, even if the person who lives there is a young prince.
Lu Shuang'er tidied herself up and made sure she was bright enough before going to the Palace of Compassion and Peace. She hadn't seen Mo Rongzhan for several days, and she must come to Kunning Palace today.
Mo Rongzhan was in his youth, it was impossible for him to be without a woman for so long, unless... there was another woman around him.
However, this is impossible, with her Lu Shuang'er here, which court lady would dare to be presumptuous.
Arriving at the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager just woke up from a doze. These days, because of the illness of the young prince, the Empress Dowager has not been able to sleep well, and it was only today that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Shuang'er saluted respectfully and explained why she came, she was going to visit the little prince.
The queen mother looked up at Lu Shuang'er lightly, she was dressed so enchantingly and charmingly, did she really care about the little prince? I'm afraid the ulterior motives are not in the bar.
"The noble concubine has a heart. The little prince finally took a rest. For the time being, don't let anyone disturb you." She didn't have any thoughts of liking or disliking towards Lu Guifei. Anyway, it's fine if the emperor likes it. However, after Lu Yaoyao When she was beaten, she felt somewhat displeased with Concubine Lu Gui.
How could Lu Shuang'er be willing to go back like this, "Queen Mother, this concubine just heard that the little prince's illness has improved, so I want to go and have a look."
The queen mother frowned unhappily, "It's getting late, if the concubine really cares about the young prince, it won't be too late to go to the prince's house tomorrow."
Lu Yaoyao is currently in the prince's house, and with Lu Shuang'er's jealous nature, if she sees her, she might have another attack. The Queen Mother doesn't want Lu Yaoyao to be wronged again for no reason.
"Queen..." Lu Shuang'er continued to speak without giving up.
"Concubine Lu Gui, if you want to see the emperor, you might as well ask someone to invite you instead of wasting time at Ai's house." The Empress Dowager pierced Lu Shuang'er's real intention in a burst of blood.
Lu Shuang'er's face turned blue and then pale, and cursed the queen mother several times in her heart, then gritted her teeth and blessed Fushen, "Since the queen mother won't let the concubine visit the young prince, then the concubine will go back first."
The queen mother didn't bother to pay attention to the resentment in her words, and waved her back.
Lu Shuang'er returned to Kunning Palace angrily, "That damn..."
"Your Majesty!" Dai Ping called her hastily, "The walls have ears!"
If the imperial concubine swears something that should not be scolded, the entire Lu family will be affected.
The anger in Lu Shuang'er's heart could not be vented, her eyes were red with anger, and she felt that this matter was not simple, "Why doesn't the queen mother let me go to the prince's house?"
Dai Ping whispered, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is clearly targeting you."
Aunt He on the side sighed in her heart, did Concubine Lu dress up like this to care about the little prince? He wanted to go to the prince's place to seduce the emperor, it's no wonder the queen mother let her go.
"Daiping, go to the prince's office tomorrow to find out what the emperor is doing tonight." Lu Shuang'er had a bad feeling in her heart, always felt that it was unusual for the emperor to be in the prince's office so late.
"Yes, ma'am." Dai Ping replied immediately.
Aunt He couldn't help reminding in a low voice, "Madam, the emperor probably won't like you to investigate the prince's affairs. If the emperor finds out, I'm afraid he will be unhappy."
Lu Shuang'er said with a sullen face, "Then don't let the emperor know."
If she were to know which of the prince's maids dared to seduce the emperor, it would displease the emperor, and she would not let that lowly maid go.
When Aunt He heard Lu Shuang'er's resolute tone, she knew that no matter how hard she tried to persuade her, she would not be able to persuade her.
…
The prince's place, in the sleeping hall.
Murong Yi slept for two hours, if he hadn't been woken up by hunger, he probably would have continued to sleep.
"Brother Huang, why are you here?" Murong Yi woke up and saw Murong Zhan sitting next to him, looking at him in surprise.
"I heard that you no longer hurt after eating, so I came to see you." Mo Rongzhan looked at his complexion, "It's better."
Murong Yi touched his chest, "Except for feeling hungry, I don't seem to feel any pain."
"Have someone go to the imperial dining room to prepare meals, and I will accompany the young prince to have meals here." Mo Rongzhan ordered.
Murong Yi hurriedly said, "Brother Huang, I want to eat something cooked by Lu Yaoyao."
He was afraid that eating the food from the imperial dining room would cause pain all over his body.
Mo Rongzhan frowned slightly, and told Nuan Ren, "Go and call Lu Yaoyao."
The warm man bent his knees and replied, "Go back to the emperor, Miss Lu has already prepared medicinal meals for the little prince in the small kitchen."
"Go and ask her to bring the medicinal food." Murong Yi immediately shouted happily.
Murong Zhan raised his eyebrows, unable to understand why his younger brother liked Lu Yaoyao so much, and what was wrong with her.
"Ford, go to the imperial dining room and bring the meal for Brother Huang." Murongyi said again.
"Can't I eat your medicinal food?" Murong Zhan blurted out, even he didn't know why he asked.
Murongyi was stunned for a moment, "Brother Huang, Yaoyao only cooks food for me alone, I'm afraid it won't be enough for you."
This made sense, and Mo Rongzhan was speechless.
