Yixing Palace
Ye Xiudu's footsteps stopped. He really didn't want to go to that place.
Concubine Meng was his biological mother and the most beloved concubine of the current emperor. She was now the most powerful woman in the entire harem, but she was also the most ruthless person to him.
Shen Ying stood aside and also frowned. After a pause, he still stepped forward to persuade, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for four years, and the imperial concubine must be thinking of you too."
Ye Xiu nodded expressionlessly and let Miao Qianqiu lead the way.
Yes, I haven't seen him for four years. His mother-in-law was so disappointed when she saw that he was still alive and well.
Yixing Palace has always been the most gorgeous palace in the entire harem. The emperor favored her, and the concubines received numerous rewards. Even if she wanted to be frugal, she couldn't resist everyone's flattery and flattery, both intentional and unintentional.
Before Ye Xiu Duo and the others walked in, they saw Concubine Meng's personal maid coming forward, bowing to Ye Xiu Duo, and said softly, "Prince Xiu and Marquis Weiyuan came to the palace to ask for an audience. The Emperor summoned them in the Imperial Garden. It’s the Marquis.”
Ye Xiudu raised his eyebrows slightly, meaning, are the emperor's concubine and Weiyuan Hou's family all in the imperial garden now
Ye Xiudu laughed coldly, and Eunuch Miao on the side had already turned away and led him towards the imperial garden.
Before the group arrived, they heard several familiar voices coming from the pavilion. Miao Qianqiu shouted, "Prince Xiu is here."
As soon as the sound came together, the originally lively noise inside immediately fell silent.
Ye Xiudu strode in. When he saw the emperor, the expression on his face did not change at all, but his voice was slightly lowered, "I have met my father." Then he narrowed his eyes at Concubine Meng. With a faint smile, he said, "Mother and concubine."
"No need to be polite, Xiu'er, sit here." The emperor had already been smiling, even though he had known about his return to the imperial capital a few days earlier. But he had never seen him above, and now he finally saw his beloved son whom he had not seen for four years. Even if he tried to control it, his emotions would inevitably show up.
On the side, Marquis Weiyuan and his wife greeted Ye Xiu alone. Liu Xiangxiang, who was leaning on the couch, also wanted to say hello to him. Unfortunately, her chest was still aching, and she couldn't help but moan after moving a few times. .
The emperor waved his hand and exempted her from the courtesy.
When he looked back at Ye Xiudu, the smile on his lips became even deeper. After not seeing each other for several years, Xiu'er has become more calm and reserved, and has become more regal.
He was interested in reminiscing with Ye Xiu about the past, his life over the years, and the current situation in the court.
It's a pity that Weiyuan Hou's family is here now, and they have come to complain to him.
Concubine Meng's face became even more serious and she asked directly, "Xiu'er, Miss Liu went to your villa yesterday but came back injured. What happened?"
The emperor pursed his lips and said nothing. The imperial concubine has always been strict with Xiu'er, and he has become accustomed to it over the years.
Ye Xiudu curled his lips mockingly and glanced over at Liu Xiangxiang. The latter's face turned slightly red when he saw him, and he lowered his head slowly.
"Concubine, why don't you ask what Miss Liu did in my king's courtyard?"
Liu Xiangxiang was stunned and quickly retorted, "I didn't do anything, noble concubine. I just heard that Prince Xiu returned to the imperial capital yesterday and wanted to see Prince Xiu. I didn't expect that I would be attacked by someone who didn't know where he came from. A woman was beaten like this."
Ye Xiudu sneered, "Why didn't Miss Liu mention that she injured six or seven maids and women in my palace with a whip?"
"I, I, that's because those maids and women made things difficult for me and refused to inform the prince. Such unruly servants, what's wrong with me teaching them a lesson?"
"That's right, Your Majesty, they are just a few servants. Is my daughter not as good as a few servants?" In the eyes of Weiyuan Marquis, his daughter is the most valuable and the least hurt. This daughter has been held in the palm of his hand and doted on since she was a child. How has she ever suffered such an injury since she was a child
When he was carried into the mansion by his servants yesterday, he was almost so angry that he killed the few guards who were unable to protect him. If it hadn't been late at that time, he would have gone into the palace yesterday and studied the book "The Prince" in front of the emperor.
The emperor drank a cup of tea calmly, as if he had no intention of intervening.
Concubine Meng has always been expressionless, and her slightly serious face is very similar to Ye Xiudu. She also looked like she didn't intend to say anything, just waiting for Ye Xiudu's rebuttal. When the time came, she would question him again.
Ye Xiu looked at Weiyuan Hou alone, his voice was cold and cruel, "When will it be Miss Liu's turn to take charge of my servants?"
"Xiangxiang will be Princess Xiu soon. Those servants are disrespectful to Xiangxiang now. How can they not climb on Xiangxiang's head in the future?" Weiyuan Hou had anger on his face. He always puts his daughter first, so naturally he wouldn't Let's give it up, "What's more, those servants only suffered minor injuries. But my daughter is lying there unable to move in extreme pain. The doctor said that if she is not treated in time, she may not even live. Your Majesty, she is I was injured by the woman in your house. I came here today for no other reason than to hope that the prince will give me an explanation, hand over the woman, and ask the emperor to make the decision and let me deal with the woman. In this way, this matter will be forgotten. .”
Deal with Yu Qingluo? He was too fanciful. What's more, Yu Qingluo is a doctor herself, so she will naturally be measured in her actions. How could she kill Liu Xiangxiang
Ye Xiu didn't even bother to look at him, "Master Hou, do you want my life? Do you want me to fill your daughter's life for you?"
Marquis Weiyuan was shocked, "What did the prince say? I just wanted that woman to come out. How could I want to repair the prince's life?"
"Didn't Miss Liu tell Mr. Hou that I was poisoned and the antidote was in that woman's hand? If something happened to her, I would be poisoned and die. Since Mr. Hou wants to deal with her, doesn't he understand? Tell the world that the Marquis is very dissatisfied with me and wants to take the opportunity to kill me?"
Marquis Weiyuan took a breath and said in a deep voice, "Why should the prince be alarmist? Xiangxiang naturally told me about this. But how could such a smart person like the prince do such a stupid thing for the sake of his children's personal relationship? I do not believe."
Ye Xiu laughed alone, "If you don't believe it, Lord Marquis, you can ask the royal doctor to see if it is really the case?"
The emperor immediately raised his hand and said, "Eunuch Miao, go and ask Imperial Physician Liang to come over."
Concubine Meng and Marquis Weiyuan didn't even have time to speak. Miao Qianqiu quickly ran out of the pavilion and ordered people to go to the Imperial Hospital.
Marquis Weiyuan pursed his lips. Seeing Ye Xiudu's indifferent attitude, he knew that even if the imperial doctor took a look, he might actually be able to find out something.
In this case…
"Your Majesty." Weiyuan Hou knelt directly on the ground with a serious voice, "Now there is a world-renowned ghost doctor living in my residence. Mr. Ghost Doctor is very skilled in medical treatment. He saved my little girl's life. I want to invite you." The ghost doctor came into the palace to diagnose and treat the prince. If the prince is really poisoned and it is very serious, maybe Mr. Ghost Doctor can detoxify the prince."
Ghost doctor? Ye Xiu's eyebrows twitched. Doesn't the ghost doctor live in his palace? Could it be that... there are also fake ones
This time, it was actually very interesting.
