The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 290 Goodbye Emperor

First, the Seventh Prince recovered, and soon Emperor Liang De also recovered.

It sounds easy, but it took nearly a month.

Some people died in the capital, but not many, mostly dignitaries.

Seeing that the New Year was approaching, Prince Xuan finally brought Princess Xuan into the capital.

The first thing they did was to go to the palace to pay homage.

After hearing the report, Emperor Liang De's mouth twitched: "It has been nearly half a year on this road, right?"

The servants did not dare to answer.

"Call her in." Emperor Liang De said.

"Yes."

Xue Qingyin was carried into the palace by a sedan chair, and Prince Xuan rode beside her.

This couple is the only one in the palace who enjoys such a special honor.

"I haven't been to the palace for a long time, and it has changed a little." Xue Qingyin rolled up the curtain and said while looking at the scenery outside.

The palace servant walked by and said, "It has never changed."

Xue Qingyin pouted: "You all talk back at me, and you still say it hasn't changed?"

The palace servant was stunned and couldn't answer.

These palace servants have indeed changed a lot...

Therefore, some newcomers have completely failed to adapt to Xue Qingyin's temperament.

Xue Qingyin said disdainful words, but she knew in her heart that this was not a good sign.

It is very likely that the palace servants who were familiar with her in the past have been replaced.

"Your Highness, Princess, we are here." The voice of the palace servant sounded.

Xue Qingyin looked up at the palace in front of her, with the words "Taihe" written on it.

"This place has never changed." Xue Qingyin said, and asked again: "Why didn't Wu Shaojian come out to greet me?"

The palace servant said at a loss: "What Wu Shaojian?"

Xue Qingyin pinched her fingertips, cursed the dog emperor in her heart, then lifted the hem of her skirt, got off the sedan chair, climbed the stairs, and walked quickly into the palace gate.

"Yinyin." Prince Xuan called out in a deep voice, quickly dismounted and chased after her, "Don't walk too fast."

The palace maids were shocked.

His Highness Prince Xuan really doted on this Princess Xuan...

Prince Xuan took a long step and caught up with Xue Qingyin in three or two steps.

But at this time, Xue Qingyin had already reached the door: "Father, Father!" She shouted loudly.

Emperor Liang De, who was sitting on the dragon chair, moved his expression and was stunned for a moment.

It was as if Xue Qingyin came to him angrily and arrogantly to complain when Prince Xuan was away in the past.

As the thought moved, Xue Qingyin appeared in his eyes.

It was different.

It was very different!

Emperor Liang De's pupils opened and he sat up straight. He stared at Xue Qingyin's appearance...

She had a double-ringed fairy bun, a crimson dress, and a snow-white cloak on the outside. When she walked, the hairpins and rings swayed with her.

It seemed like she had walked out of a painting, very lively.

In addition to her face, her abdomen was noticeably bulging.

As she walked step by step, everyone watching her instinctively felt terrified, fearing that she would bump into something.

But the palace servants around her just watched, not rushing to move chairs, nor rushing to serve tea or water, or get a hot water bottle.

The palace was so cold that only the footsteps of Xue Qingyin and the following Prince Xuan could be heard.

For a moment, Emperor Liang De was a little unable to adapt.

In the past, the palace servants should have started to move when Xue Qingyin entered the door, and in a short while, the grand Hall of Supreme Harmony should have become lively...

But it was cold today, too cold.

It was so cold that Emperor Liang De felt that these dull palace servants were indeed not very likable.

"Father, how long have I been away with Prince Xuan? Now the tea has gone cold?" Xue Qingyin said aggrievedly.

Emperor Liang De was pulled back to his thoughts by her voice.

His eyes fell on her face... Xue Qingyin looked even more pitiful now.

"Why do you want to sue someone right away?" Emperor Liang De pressed his forehead.

"I see that everyone in this palace is very cold... In the past, they would smile when they saw me."

"..." Emperor Liang De's mouth twitched. What? Didn't you notice that the people have changed?

"Please take a seat." Emperor Liang De said.

The palace servants moved.

Xue Qingyin said: "Why don't you bring me a cushion?"

Emperor Liang De: "Go get it."

The palace servants moved again.

Emperor Liang De suddenly felt that it was very strenuous, as if this move was not to threaten Xue Qingyin, but just to make himself unhappy.

"You've lost weight." Emperor Liang De looked at her and said.

Xue Qingyin was stunned, thinking that this dog emperor's acting skills were comparable to hers. She then readily replied, "How can I not be thin? I vomited all over the road..."

A complex light flashed across Emperor Liang De's eyes, and he said, "No wonder you walked so slowly, why didn't you write a letter to explain?"

Xue Qingyin muttered, "Don't worry about me."

"You've grown up? Fresh." Emperor Liang De sneered.

"I'm going to be a mother too, so I have to act like a mother." Xue Qingyin said.

When Emperor Liang De heard this, his expression changed subtly.

He felt a little uncomfortable.

This scene... should have been harmonious and warm.

But he knew clearly that being surrounded by children and grandchildren and having a happy family was not something that belonged to him...not.

"Chang Yi." Emperor Liang De called King Xuan by his name and looked up at him.

"You've worked hard in the battle with the Meng tribe." Emperor Liang De sighed.

Xue Qingyin interrupted, "It was me who worked hard."

Emperor Liang De was helpless: "Where did you work hard?"

"I am worried about King Xuan every day..." She looked at him and asked: "My father is in the capital, wouldn't he be worried about him?"

Emperor Liang De's breathing was slightly suffocated.

He also looked at Xue Qingyin: "...I will naturally be worried about King Xuan."

He paused, and the uncomfortable feeling in his heart became stronger. He asked Xue Qingyin: "Have you never heard of bone steaming disease in Fengcheng?"

Xue Qingyin nodded: "I heard some, it's very scary, otherwise we wouldn't have delayed entering the city until today."

Emperor Liang De scolded: "You have the nerve to ask me, but I don't see you worrying about my safety."

Xue Qingyin asked: "Is your father sick?"

Emperor Liang De moved his lips: "No."

Xue Qingyin said: "I know that my father, Ji Ren, has his own destiny."

The familiar flattering tone.

But Emperor Liang De couldn't laugh.

He always felt like Xue Qingyin was perfunctory with him... That feeling made Emperor Liang De's heart feel like ants gnawing at him.

"Live in the palace." Emperor Liang De said.

Xue Qingyin looked embarrassed: "Aren't you going back to Prince Xuan's Mansion? I still want to see my mother-in-law and my old friends..."

Emperor Liang De said coldly: "Celebrate the New Year in the palace before leaving." He paused and then said: "Where do you have friends in Beijing? Don't think I don't know. In the past, which girl was willing to be with you? Play together?”

He added: "It's not like you are not allowed to leave the palace if you live in the palace. If you want to go to the Xu family, just go by yourself. Do you still want me to order someone to carry you there in a sedan?"

Xue Qingyin said: "That's good, let the guards carry me."

Emperor Liang De: "How can the Imperial Guard use such a place?"

Xue Qingyin asked: "Why not?" She said: "I think people in the capital look down on me and King Xuan now. I need a few guards to show my face."

Emperor Liang was silent for a moment, and finally said impatiently: "Okay, I'll give it to you."

He can see through the hearts of his ministers.

At this moment, it was somewhat unclear whether the words coming out of Xue Qingyin's mouth were true or false.

He looked at Xue Qingyin's belly again and whispered: "It's been a hard journey, so let's rest first."

The palace attendant responded and led Xue Qingyin and the two to the palace where they would live.

Emperor Liang Dedi sat on his seat for a while, then stood up and walked to the mirror.

He has also lost a lot of weight these days.

Are they invisible? Still don’t want to ask?

Emperor Liang De's heart felt embarrassed and violent, and his heart seemed to be squeezed tightly...clamped hard enough to squeeze out blood.

Emperor Liang had a cold face and broke the mirror in front of him.

He asked: "How is Mr. Xue?"

The chamberlain beside him said: "I feel better today."

The balance in his heart fell down.

Emperor Liang De said: "Let King Xuan come to see me later."

"yes."

Emperor Liang De sent away the palace servants who were waiting around him and called in the imperial guards.

"That Hui Niang...did you find anything during the interrogation?"

The imperial guard said: "She can't explain how the epidemic came... She only said that Fang Shao loves her very much."

Emperor Liang De was impatient to hear about the affection between his children and just frowned when the imperial guard followed closely and said, "But this Hui Niang's identity has some background."

"What's the origin?"

"She and the concubine of King Wei are sisters."

The concubine of King Wei... Qiao Xinyu is the only daughter.

Emperor Liang De remembered: "The King of Wei has a concubine named Jiang?"

The imperial guard responded: "Your Majesty, that's right. Huiniang's real name was Jiang Hui, and she once had an affair with a man. The man was later involved in a fraud case in the imperial examination and was executed. Jiang Hui then went to the gate of the King of Wei and begged the King of Wei for help. …”

"If Jiang Hui is beautiful, then King Wei must have been attracted by her." Emperor Liang De said indifferently, knowing very well the temperament of this idiot King Wei.

"...Yes. But then something happened to the Xu family, and King Wei stayed behind closed doors, unwilling to have anything to do with it. Jiang Hui had no choice but to leave King Wei's mansion, and her whereabouts have not been traced since then."

"No whereabouts? Didn't the Jiang family report to the official?"

"They didn't dare. This would bring a bad reputation to all the Jiang family members, and it would be difficult for them to get married in the future. They only said to the outside world that their daughter died of a sudden illness."

"How did a weak woman survive to this day after disappearing?"

"Yes, I am also thinking about this issue. After thinking about it, I can only think of... someone took her in after she left Prince Wei's Mansion. Fang Shao has only known her for half a month, so it cannot be Fang Shao."

Emperor Liang De had been dealing with all kinds of conspiracies all year round. How could he not smell it now?

"Check again."

"yes."
