He didn't know how Xiao Zimu left Kunning Palace. He only remembered that he stumbled out of the gate of Kunning Palace in a daze.
Upon seeing this, Xin Ya hurried over to help him and asked: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? I just saw His Highness King Mo leaving with a maid..."
Xiao Zimu felt like the world was spinning, and he ordered him with a slight sob, "Help me back to the palace."
Xin Ya was frightened by his tone and expression, and was shocked. He quickly helped him back to Yongning Hall, and went to the Imperial Hospital to find an imperial doctor to diagnose his pulse.
Xiao Zimu's figure was slender and he was leaning on the couch with a depressed expression. He said nothing and did not eat or drink.
Fortunately, after the imperial doctor looked at it, he comforted Xin Ya: "Your Highness is not seriously ill. He is just irritated and hurts his mind. He will prescribe some decoction and take it. After a good sleep, he will be fine."
Xin Ya breathed a sigh of relief and sent the doctor out while saying thanks.
After Xiao Mubai took Xia Chu out of Kunning Palace, he should go to the Imperial Study Room to thank the emperor, but Xia Chu couldn't follow him so aggressively.
"I'll take you to Yongxin Palace." Xiao Mubai had a narrow smile on his lips.
Xia Chu was originally walking behind him, but he suddenly stopped and bumped into his back.
After hearing his words, my heart trembled even more.
She was a little repelled at first, thinking that this appearance might scare Concubine Qi, but then she thought about it, she would have to know sooner or later, not to mention that with Su Qianle's precedent, she was very afraid that Xiao Muhong would also...
"Okay." Xia Chu made up his mind to show off his cards, but Xiao Mubai was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that she would agree so readily.
"I'm afraid of Mu Hong..." Xia Chu pursed her lips, not daring to say or think the next words.
"Don't worry, she won't." Xiao Mubai's palm gently covered her forehead, like a feather passing by, and then quickly pulled away: "You can go see my mother-in-law first, and I will come back from the imperial study later. Come back and accompany you to see Mu Hong."
Xia Chu nodded and said, "Okay."
She can meet Concubine Qi without any scruples. Even if she is frightened at first, she probably won't blame her when she reacts.
But Xiao Muhong had to go with him to see her, so that he could have the confidence to make peace with her.
Xiao Mubai sent her to the door of Yongxin Palace and did not accompany her in. Instead, he raised his chin at her outside the palace door and motioned for her to go in by herself.
Although Xia Chu was not afraid of Concubine Qi, she felt inexplicably hesitant. She tugged at the corner of his clothes next to Xiao Mubai, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.
Xiao Mubai laughed, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Such a beautiful daughter-in-law, why are you afraid of meeting your mother-in-law?"
Xia Chu looked shy and was so angry that she wanted to hit him with her fist.
Xiao Mubai had already withdrawn and waved to her coolly.
Xia Chu watched his back gradually disappearing, and could only feel relieved, gritted his teeth, and walked towards Yongxin Palace.
The reason why Xiao Mubai did not accompany her into the palace was because he had some selfish motives and wanted to surprise Concubine Qi.
He knew that his mother-in-law had always liked Xia Chu, and it was not easy for her to go to Dali Temple in person for her. She had endured it all these years and yet stood up to support her when she was bullied.
These days, Xia Chu was detained and exiled. For her sake, her mother and concubine even considered robbing prisoners. If she hadn’t come to Yongxin Palace in advance and informed her mother and concubine that she was safe and sound, the situation would have been messed up. group.
Now, if he knew that she was his daughter-in-law, he would definitely be happier. Then he would be a man between the two of them, which would make it difficult for them to talk.
Under the banner of Xiao Mubai, Xia Chu was ordered to find Concubine Qi. After the palace maid informed her, she was led into the main hall. She was a little uncomfortable waiting in the hall, and she didn't even know how to position her hands and feet.
As the footsteps gradually approached, Concubine Qi retreated from everyone and walked in alone.
She wears a gold hairpin in a bun with beads on her head, and is tied with beads from the Five Phoenixes of Chaoyang. She wears a lotus-colored cloud satin narrow jacket, a pair of red phoenix eyes, and two curved eyebrows with willow leaves.
It was also the first time that Concubine Qi heard that Xiao Mubai had other women besides Xiao Muhong, so she backed away from the others. Seeing Xia Chu's embarrassed look, she asked in a gentle voice: "Why doesn't Mubai himself?" Come?"
Xia Chu pursed her lips, moved closer to her chair, and replied in a soft voice: "He went to the imperial study room to express his gratitude. He will come over later."
Concubine Qi was even more curious after hearing this. Xiao Mubai obviously deliberately asked this girl to come to see her alone. The deep meaning of this...
"Raise your head." Concubine Qi saw that she was wearing a maid's dress, but she was afraid that she might have gone astray, so she took a look at her appearance first.
Xia Chu's hands were clasped together behind her back. In her previous life, she had always dressed as a woman to see Concubine Qi, and she had never felt so embarrassed before. She slowly raised her head and curled her lips towards Concubine Qi.
Concubine Qi saw that she had almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks. Although her appearance was not absolutely beautiful, she was still pretty and elegant, especially those smart eyes. The more she looked at her, the more familiar she felt.
Seeing her confused expression, Xia Chu frowned slightly, coughed slightly, and lowered his voice in her ear and said, "Mother, I am Chu'er."
After she finished speaking, Concubine Qi stood up suddenly in shock. With a shocked face, she came closer and looked up and down.
"You..." Concubine Qi still couldn't believe it.
Xia Chu nodded, with an inexplicable hint of shyness on his face: "I have disguised myself as a man since I was a child and deceived my empress for so long. It's really..."
"That's great!" Concubine Qi grabbed her shoulders and tried her best to suppress her voice, fearing that she couldn't control herself and shouted out loud.
"Are you and Mu Bai... eh?" Concubine Qi asked cryptically.
The shyness on Xia Chu's face became even stronger, and she nodded again.
Concubine Qi's eyebrows were filled with joy, her lips curved into a smile, and she pulled her to sit aside: "I asked how could Mu Bai let a girl come to see me alone? I thought he finally understood the relationship between men and women. , but I really didn’t expect that the person who made him enlightened turned out to be you, which really surprised me.”
Xia Chu was still hopeless and didn't dare to raise his head: "Your Majesty also knows that I grew up in the mountains when I was a child. Once I went down the mountain for fun and fell into the water. Fortunately, I was rescued by Mu Bai. It's a coincidence that I also fell into the water about half a year ago. I didn’t know about this until recently, and I made a lifelong commitment to him privately at that time.”
Concubine Qi looked slightly stunned: "What happened to you when you were a child? I have never heard him mention it."
Xia Chu knew that that time happened to be when Xiao Mubai was seriously injured, and he didn't want to lead her to recall some unpleasant past events, so he said vaguely: "Maybe he even forgot about his generous help, but I always remember it. In my heart..."
This memory has been remembered for almost seventeen years...
