Yu Qingluo and Ye Xiu looked at each other alone, and both of them couldn't help but sigh secretly.
The emperor didn't notice, he just lowered his head and talked to Nannan.
Finally, he said, "Nan Nan, please stay here and talk to me for now. When you come back from your mother and concubine's place, we can talk."
Nannan doesn't want to see Concubine Meng, he doesn't like her. He naturally preferred staying in the imperial study room than going to Yixing Palace.
Yu Qingluo had no choice. In fact, she didn't want to go, but she couldn't let Ye Xiu go alone.
The two looked at each other again before taking their leave. But after going out, someone sent a message to Bao'er, asking him to go back first without waiting for them.
Ye Xiudu knew that since he returned to the imperial capital, it was only a matter of time before he met Concubine Meng.
Seeing Yu Qingluo's worried look, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "What, this is the ugly daughter-in-law who is scared when she meets her parents-in-law?"
There were people from the palace around him, and everyone was talking to them with their ears pricked up. Ye Xiu alone could only tease her.
As soon as he said these words, Yu Qingluo felt much more relaxed and couldn't help but reply, "Yes, yes, the prince must say a few nice words for me in front of the queen later to leave a good impression on the queen." .”
"That's natural." Ye Xiu followed Shan Ruliu and answered simply.
Yu Qing almost spit out a mouthful of blood, and her eyelids twitched.
The serving maid and eunuch lowered their heads silently and said nothing.
The group of people soon arrived at the gate of Yixing Palace, but there was a strange-looking eunuch standing outside.
Seeing them, she hurriedly came up to them, bowed her head to say hello, and said in a low voice, "The queen asked the servants to wait here for the prince... and the princess. The queen said that she has been a bit cold in the past two days, and the prince was injured again. , I’m afraid that I’ll give it to the prince after he’s over the illness. The prince is tired from traveling all the way and is seriously injured, so it’s more important to go back home as soon as possible to rest and recuperate, so there’s no need to say hello.”
Ye Xiudu's eyes suddenly narrowed and he looked at the little eunuch in front of him who was stumbling when he spoke and was shaking like a sieve.
Yu Qingluo also sneered. Even the person sent to deliver the message was a new eunuch. Concubine Meng was deliberately humiliating Ye Xiudu.
Her jaw tightened and she breathed out slowly. She turned around and exchanged glances with Ye Xiudu, then took a step forward and said, "Since Concubine Meng has suffered from the cold, I want to go in and have a look even more. Although this princess You're not talented, but it's okay to check on the wind and cold for the empress. Prince Xiu is injured, so he will wait outside for a while, and I will go in and take a look."
The little eunuch was stunned. When he came to his senses, Yu Qingluo had already strode into Yixing Palace.
Cold sweat broke out on his head immediately, "Princess, princess, please stay, empress..."
Before he finished speaking, another pretty figure hurriedly walked out from inside.
The voice walked directly in front of Yu Qingluo and saluted her, "Slave Fei Ge, I have met Princess Tianfu."
"Fei Ge, long time no see." Yu Qingluo stopped and looked at her with a half-smile.
Fei Ge smiled and said, "Your Majesty has already rested. I know that the Princess has good intentions, but she has just taken the medicine from the imperial doctor, so it is not good for me to wake her up now. The Princess has a filial piety. After tomorrow, she will go to the palace to give to her." How is the diagnosis and treatment?"
These words were already very rude. Yu Qingluo narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "In that case, I will come back another day. But I have something to do tomorrow and I won't be able to make it. The day after tomorrow, the empress's illness will probably be over. Well, I see, it doesn’t matter if I come or not.”
Fei Ge's expression changed. He didn't expect Yu Qingluo's tone to be so harsh and disrespectful, and there was a faint hint of quarreling with the empress.
But she didn't have much to say, so she could only smile and accept.
Only then did Yu Qingluo glance meaningfully at the closed door, turned around and walked out of Yixing Palace.
Feige came over again to greet Ye Xiudu, and personally escorted them to the gate of Yixing Palace before turning and leaving.
Yu Qingluo snorted softly, and then she and Ye Xiu went to the imperial study alone.
After just walking a few steps, I heard muttering coming from not far away.
"Isn't your Majesty still meeting the Seventh Prince inside? Why did Prince Xiu disappear when he came here?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Why should we care so much about Master's affairs?"
The expressions of the palace maids and eunuchs around Ye Xiudu changed accordingly. They pursed their lips and did not dare to say a word, and walked faster.
Yu Qingluo raised an eyebrow at Ye Xiudu. Although the two of them didn't speak, they had the same mood and thoughts.
Concubine Meng couldn't wait any longer and had already set up an arena with them openly, not even willing to do superficial things.
What they didn't know was that shortly after they left, Concubine Meng threw away the tea cup that she had squeezed tightly in her hand.
Fei Ge didn't dare to express his anger. Only the seventh prince Ye Haoting on the side whispered to persuade, "Why do you need to be angry with them?"
"That wild woman who didn't know where she came from dared to come to the gate of this palace and act arrogantly." Concubine Meng's face was livid. Looking at it from a distance, she was still a bit haggard. Compared with a few months ago, her body was He lost a lot of weight.
"The mother-in-law also said that she is just an ignorant woman and child. Won't arguing with her lower the mother-in-law's status?" Ye Haoting hurriedly poured her another glass of water and whispered, "When our big things are done, the mother-in-law You can do whatever you want with her."
"I must cut her into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart." Concubine Meng said, holding Ye Haoting's hand, her lips trembling a little, "If it weren't for them, if it weren't for them , my brother, how could my brother..."
Ye Haoting pursed his lips. In fact, when he knew from the beginning that Meng Zhicheng had planned to become the leader of the Mongolian tribe, he did not agree.
It's just that my mother-in-law and uncle have made up their minds, and it's useless even if he tries to persuade them.
But I didn't expect that it would end up like this.
Every time he thought about this, Ye Haoting felt a little worried, fearing that he wouldn't be able to accomplish anything.
Then he thought about the ghost doctor, the eldest prince and others around Ye Xiudu. He himself was such a smart person. If he failed too, then...
He shook his head hurriedly, not daring to think too much, and could only comfort Concubine Meng in a low voice.
However, Ye Xiudu and Yu Qingluo had already returned to the imperial study. They only said that Concubine Meng was unwell and asked him to go back and rest early.
There was no mention of the seventh prince's stay in Yixing Palace.
But the emperor is not stupid. When the seventh prince enters the palace, someone will naturally come to report him. Seeing Ye Xiudu running away like this in vain, I felt very unhappy at that time.
Xiu'er is still injured. No matter what happens to the imperial concubine, she should welcome people in and ask about the situation.
The emperor's expression was not very good. Seeing Ye Xiudu covering up for his mother and concubine again, he felt a little sorry for him.
Even though the food was passed around, several people finished their dinner in a lively manner.
By the time we finished eating and came out, it was already getting late.
Ye Xiudu came out in the soft sedan as usual, but he didn't hear Yu Qingluo speak all the way to the palace gate. He couldn't help but feel a little strange, and asked her, "What's wrong with you?"
Yu Qingluo glanced at him awkwardly, her expression not good-looking.
