Ji Yuntang felt relieved when he heard him say that.

She stood up and said in a relaxed tone, "What would you like to eat tonight, my Lord? I will make it for you."

After spending two days with Ji Yuntang, Luo Junhe had gotten to know the other's personality. It was not his style to want to eat but not say it.

He was not polite either, "Well, the steamed eggs this morning were delicious, I like them very much, thank you Miss Ji."

"Your Highness, although steamed eggs are delicious, you should not eat too much in one day. I will make you a sea bass milk soup and cook some yam, pumpkin and millet paste. These will help your wound heal."

Luo Junhe had never eaten them, but he had already imagined how delicious they were. He said with some anticipation, "Then I would like to thank Miss Ji first."

Ji Yuntang raised his eyebrows slightly. She had to cook for herself anyway, so making one more portion was just a matter of convenience.

She flashed into the space. Ji Yuntang first went to the creek on the farm to catch a fat bass, and then went to the small kitchen to start cooking.

Imperial Palace, Weiyang Palace.

The hall is decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, and the roof is covered with glazed jade tiles. The walls are inlaid with egg-sized luminous pearls, which illuminate the entire palace. The orchid-scented incense on the low table is slowly smoking, all of which demonstrate the refinement and luxury of the palace owner.

The person living here is none other than Luo Junhe's mother, Concubine Li, Cao Wan'er.

After bathing and changing his clothes in the mansion, Luo Sinian immediately rushed to the Weiyang Palace without stopping, but was told by the palace maid that Concubine Li had left the palace to burn incense at Huayang Temple and would be back very late.

Luo Sinian was determined to get to the bottom of this matter today, so he immediately sat on the stone bench at the entrance of Weiyang Palace and waited.

This wait lasts for two hours.

It was not until the sun had set and the afterglow of the setting sun illuminated half the sky red that Concubine Li's sedan chair appeared at the gate of Weiyang Palace.

Luo Sinian's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and walked quickly to salute, "Greetings to Her Majesty Li Fei."

The sedan chair was lowered, and Concubine Li, wearing a blue lotus pleated dress, walked down gracefully from it.

Although she is already a mother of two children, her oval face is still bright and radiant without any trace of aging. Her long black hair is combed into a gorgeous and intricate bun, and the gold plum blossom hairpin on her forehead is bright red, making her skin look even whiter than snow.

Concubine Li looked at Luo Sinian and said in a gentle voice, "How come Prince Chen has time to come to Weiyang Palace to see me today?"

"My Lady Li, I came here today because I want to consult you about something. It's about my third brother's health..."

When Concubine Li heard Luo Sinian mention Luo Junhe's name, her charming face darkened for a moment, but was soon replaced by a gentle smile on her face.

"What's wrong with He'er's body? Don't I have people send ice cubes out of the palace every day to help him fight the fire poison?"

Luo Sinian saw the fleeting change on Concubine Li's face, but he just thought it was because the light was too dim and he was dazzled, so he didn't think much about it.

In my impression, Concubine Li is a virtuous woman with both talent and integrity.

She had a very good reputation in the palace. Although her position was not as noble as that of the Queen and Concubine Chu, she had never quarreled with others and had never been jealous in order to win favor.

Whether she was treating princes, princesses or servants, Concubine Li was always gentle and dignified, which made people feel comfortable and unable to get angry with her.

Because of Luo Junhe, Luo Sinian also respected Concubine Li very much and often visited her Weiyang Palace with gifts.

He was in a hurry to go out today and didn't have time to prepare any gifts.

He walked behind Concubine Li and said, "My Lady Concubine Li, is it true that Third Brother has been poisoned by fire? Why has he been taking ice baths and sleeping on an ice stone bed for three years, but his health has only gotten weaker and weaker, and there has been no improvement at all?"

"Could it be that Doctor Zhu made a wrong diagnosis back then? Third brother actually didn't have fire poisoning, but only had his skin burned by the fire? Maybe the direction of his treatment over the years has been wrong?"

Concubine Li suddenly stopped, the gentle smile on her face faded, and she turned around.

"Doctor Zhu is the director of the Imperial Hospital. He is the most skilled doctor in the entire hospital. He is the one who takes care of the emperor's health. There will be no problem with his diagnosis for He'er."

"I know that you and He'er are as close as brothers. You have been worried about his health over the years. I am no exception. I spent a lot of effort in finding the ice stone bed and transporting it to the capital to make it into a stone bed."

"He'er is my son. I hope more than anyone else that he can get better soon. Over the years, I have often gone out of the palace to the temple to pray for him. I would chant sutras for a whole day. Just to help him get married, I have found the daughters of no less than five adults to ask the emperor to help him get married. I have done everything I can. If I still can't save him, I don't know what to do."

Concubine Li looked up at the colorful glow in the sky. Her voice became increasingly sad, and a hint of pain spread across her pretty face.

Luo Sinian immediately felt that he was wrong, very wrong.

How could he doubt Concubine Li?

She is Luo Junhe's biological mother. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. How could such a gentle and generous person like her harm her own son?

Concubine Li has indeed done a lot for Luo Junhe over the years. Even the precious ice cubes in the palace's ice cellar were obtained for Luo Junhe by her after she knelt at the door of the Golden Throne Hall for three days.

This motherly love is meticulous and truly touching.

Luo Sinian opened his mouth and said with some shame: "My Lady Li Fei, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

"I know you have done a lot for my third brother. This is all witnessed by everyone. I have offended you today. I will come to your house in person to apologize someday."

Concubine Li shook her head, but a dark light flashed in the depths of her eyes.

"Forget it. You did it for He'er's own good. You didn't do anything wrong. I just don't know why King Chen suddenly wanted to explore this matter today."

Luo Sinian's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he gritted his teeth and said, "In reply to Concubine Li, the ice stone bed that you spent a lot of money to build for my third brother was given to me by Princess Ye. It's full of disgusting and dirty things."

Luo Sinian was filled with rage when he thought of this. He now seriously suspected that the feces, urine and blood on the ice stone bed were deliberately thrown there by Ji Yuntang.

If it weren't for her, he would not have rushed to the palace in anger to question Concubine Li.

It's all that ugly freak Ji Yuntang who is stirring up trouble!

When he thought about the fact that he had slept on a bed covered in feces and urine, he felt sour in his stomach and wanted to vomit.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li's eyes widened and slightly frowned, "Oh, there is such a thing?"

"The Princess Ye you mentioned is Miss Ji Qingqing from the Yongning Marquis's Mansion?"
