As soon as Lan Yuying finished speaking, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and then Eunuch Li's unique sharp voice sounded: "Little Marquis, it's been a while since I got this medicinal material. Do you want me to send someone in to help find it?" try to find?"
Xiang Chengfang was confused for a moment, and Xia Chu scolded him in a low voice: "Why are you panicking? Just find an excuse to let it go."
Xiang Chengfang was stunned by Xia Chu's scolding, but he came to his senses. He wasn't panicking, he just found out that the emperor was not ill but actually poisoned. Before he could digest the shock, he heard Eunuch Li's voice and felt in his heart Somewhat inexplicably weak.
"No need, Xiang Zhangyuan couldn't remember where he put the medicinal herbs just now. It took some time and it will be ready soon." Xia Chu replied to the door.
"Yes, look at the official's memory, it has delayed the young prince's time." Xiang Chengfang agreed from the side.
"The servant is waiting outside." Eunuch Li responded outside.
Xia Chu stopped talking nonsense with Xiang Chengfang, quickly searched for the remaining medicinal materials, piled them into Xiang Chengfang's arms, and took Lan Yuying to open the door.
"Xiang Zhangyuan has been found. You can send her to the imperial dining room. I will take Miss Lan to the Qingxin Hall." Xia Chu ordered Eunuch Li.
"Yes, my slave will send someone to lead the way for you?" Eunuch Li asked with a flattering smile.
"No need, I understand." Xia Chu waved his hand, and Eunuch Li didn't feel like saying anything else. He bowed to send Xia Chu off, and then asked the eunuch to take down the handbag he was holding from Xiang Chengfang's arms who had just left the house. Pile of medicinal materials.
On the way back to Qingxin Palace with Lan Yuying, Xia Chu told her the emperor's specific situation, but it was just a talk.
After all, Lan Yuying didn't know how to detoxify, and she didn't know much about the inside of the royal family. She couldn't give advice to the poisoner, so she could only listen to him pour some bitter water to comfort her.
As the two of them walked, Xia Chu suddenly discovered that this place was not far from a place. As soon as his eyes lit up, he led Lan Yuying into a small road.
At first glance, the end of the path looks like a flower path, winding and stretching for a long time, like a brocade ribbon.
Xia Chu took Lan Yuying out of the path, and found themselves in a sea of flowers. Lan Yuying's face was full of joy: "It's so beautiful here!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a female voice not far away yelling: "Who are you? How dare you disturb the imperial concubine!"
Xia Chuxunsheng looked away, and the corners of his lips curved into a smile. What a coincidence, it really caught his eye.
He led Lan Yuying over and bowed to the noble Pingting woman next to the maid with upturned eyebrows.
Lan Yuying saw that his etiquette was rare and correct, which was enough to see his sincerity.
Therefore, he also followed up with a bow.
"Xia Chu has met Concubine Qi." Xia Chu did not declare his family name, so Concubine Qi should know who he is.
"Are you Xia Chu?" Concubine Qi's face was slightly surprised. This name made Xiao Muhong's ears tingle when she heard it. Even Xiao Mubai often mentioned it when he came back last time, which made Concubine Qi curious.
"Yes." Xia Chu raised his head with a smile on his face.
In his last life, he came here by mistake and bumped into Concubine Qi. He just saw this road and planned to try his luck, but he didn't expect that he actually bumped into her.
If he was asked to visit Yongxin Palace in a serious manner, he would always feel uncomfortable. Such a meeting made him feel familiar, and the smile on his face became more friendly.
Concubine Qi retreated from the palace maid and glanced at Lan Yuying again.
"Empress, her name is Lan Yuying. She is mine. If you have something to say, it's okay to say it." Xia Chu understood what she meant and replied.
"It seems that Honghong, my wife, is no longer lucky." Concubine Qi showed a look of regret on her face.
"Mu Bai and I are close friends, and Mu Hong and I are like brothers and sisters. We should have visited Concubine Qi a long time ago. It is fate that we got lost and came here today." Xia Chu blinked her watery almond eyes and said with utmost sincerity.
Lan Yuying finally understood and knew who the woman in front of her was.
No wonder Xia Chu's ceremony just now was particularly elegant. When he saw him saying the word "lost" in a serious manner, he lowered his head and suppressed a smile.
Did you get lost just now? You obviously came here on purpose!
At first she thought that Xia Chu came specially to show her the sea of flowers, but it turned out that he himself wanted to see his mother-in-law...
"It's rare that Mu Bai's kid has someone who likes him. He has a cold heart. You should be more considerate." Concubine Qi said with a smile.
"He's... very good, not cold." Xia Chu bit her lip slightly.
Concubine Qi was quite surprised when she heard this. Xiao Mubai had only been good friends with Xu Wenlan since she was a child, and this only friend often complained about Xiao Mubai in front of her.
When Xia Chu saw her expression, he thought she had misunderstood him as a polite person, so he added: "Mu Bai is really nice..."
"My son, of course, knows that." Concubine Qi saw his blushing face and argued, she interrupted him with a laugh, and looked at Lan Yuying again: "Miss Lan is unparalleled in beauty, Honghong is the loser. It’s not unfair, it’s a pity that it’s rare for Mu Bai to fall in love with him, but he can’t be a good son-in-law for me.”
Lan Yuying also laughed out loud after hearing this, and turned to look at Xia Chu with a meaningful expression, as if to say, you can be a daughter-in-law even if you can't be a virtuous son-in-law.
Xia Chu glanced at Lan Yuying, smiled and chatted with Concubine Qi for a few more words. Because he was worried about the emperor's impatient waiting, he did not stay too long.
After chatting with him, Concubine Qi felt that she had a good rapport with him. When he was leaving, she told him that if he had nothing to do in the future, he could come to Yongxin Palace from time to time.
Xia Chu agreed, bowed extremely respectfully and left. On the way back to Qingxin Palace, Lan Yuying was teasing him: "Not bad, I left a good impression on my future mother-in-law..."
This provoked Xia Chu to cover her mouth frequently, and the two of them ran back to Qingxin Palace in a playful manner.
Eunuch Li outside the palace had come back a long time ago. When he saw the two of them, he hurriedly came forward with an anxious look on his face: "Oh, little Marquis, you are back. The emperor has sent people to look for you. Just now he scolded the servants." You lost it."
Xia Chu had just met Concubine Qi, and was in a very good mood, so she comforted him: "I've wronged you. Come in later and I'll put in a good word for you."
Eunuch Li's eyes lit up and he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you so much, little Marquis."
Xia Chu patted his shoulder and took Lan Yuying into the palace.
When the emperor saw him, his frowning eyebrows relaxed. Before he could speak, Xia Chu came up to him with a smiling face: "I told Eunuch Li that I knew the way and didn't ask him to send someone to escort you. Don’t blame him.”
The emperor snorted coldly: "You said you knew it, but he seriously refused to send it away? Isn't it still lost?"
Xia Chu took his arm and pointed at Lan Yuying: "I'm not lost, I just took Lanlan to see a sea of flowers, which delayed me for some time."
