Chapter 53 The Prince's Blood Smells Fruity
Emperor Wen's face turned gloomy in an instant. He frowned and waved his hand vigorously, signaling the deputy general to retreat. The deputy general hurried away as if he had been pardoned.
There was a hint of coldness in Empress Dowager Xue's eyes. She glanced at Li Jingshu and said in a cold and firm voice: "Emperor! The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has calculated that the country's fortune will decline this year. The emperor should go to the White Horse Temple in person to pray for the country's fortune and pray for peace and prosperity." There was irresistible majesty in her words.
Emperor Wen was silent for a while, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He said slowly: "I am busy with state affairs and cannot get away. But the Queen and I are one husband and wife, and the Queen is kind and generous. Let the Queen go to the White Horse Temple to pray for blessings on my behalf. I hope her piety can move the heavens and bless our great Wei with prosperity." His voice showed both his concern for state affairs and his trust in the Queen.
Upon hearing this, the queen lowered her head slightly, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, but it was gone in an instant. She slowly raised her head, her expression calm, and said in a firm tone: "I obey your order!" However, under her calm appearance, her heart was turbulent.
Emperor Wen then said, "The harem will be managed by Concubine An for the time being!" When the queen heard this, she clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms. The pain from her palms was far less than the pain in her heart. A trace of despair flashed in her eyes, but she soon regained her composure.
Emperor Wen glanced at Li Jingshu and said with a smile: "Jingshu is quiet and intelligent! Just accompany your aunt to the White Horse Temple to pray for the great omen!" Li Jingshu felt cold in her heart and immediately knelt down to thank him. The queen looked at all this and felt helpless and sad.
Luo Lingyue entered the bedroom of the Haoxue Palace. She walked slowly to Xiao Jinghan's bed with light lotus steps. Her figure was as graceful as a lotus in the wind. She opened her red lips and thanked him softly, "Thank you, Master Xiao, for saving my life!"
Xiao Jinghan's voice was as calm as autumn water, seemingly without a trace of emotion: "Lord Luo, you are too kind! Even without this prince's rescue, Lord Luo would have been out of danger!"
Luo Lingyue stared into Xiao Jinghan's eyes, trying to find a clue from his deep eyes. The more she looked, the more she felt that this rumored sickly prince was a little different. So, she leaned forward and wanted to take a closer look.
However, at this moment, Xiao Jinghan's pale face actually showed a suspicious blush, as gorgeous as the sunset. Luo Lingyue sneered in her heart, but with a concerned expression on her face, she asked softly: "Why is the prince blushing?"
Xiao Jinghan's voice was still as cold as a thousand-year-old ice: "It's a bit hot today!"
His eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look at Luo Lingyue, as if he was hiding something.
Luo Lingyue moved closer to Xiao Jinghan, almost close to his ear, and whispered, "I don't want to know why Master Xiao helped me today, nor do I want to know what grudge you have with the Kaiyang Palace or even the Queen Mother. Master Xiao, the blood you sprayed on my clothes still has a fruity scent!" There was a hint of ridicule in her tone, but it seemed to be meaningful.
Xiao Jinghan's body trembled slightly, he turned his head and met Luo Lingyue's eyes. At that moment, the indifference in his eyes seemed to melt a little, revealing a complex emotion.
Perhaps he was touched by Luo Lingyue's frankness, or perhaps he was hiding an unknown secret in his heart.
As soon as Luo Lingyue finished her words, her eyes changed from sharp to ignorant in an instant.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinghan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He simply didn't want Luo Lingyue to be framed by others, but now Luo Lingyue doubted his kindness and thought he had other intentions. He felt helpless and lost, as if his sincerity was misunderstood.
Xiao Jinghan's eyes fell on Luo Lingyue, revealing a hint of mixed emotions. He hoped to explain his original intention clearly, but was afraid that it would cause more misunderstandings. He secretly wondered how to make Luo Lingyue believe his good intentions.
Luo Lingyue's eyes also revealed a hint of confusion and uneasiness. She seemed to be thinking about Xiao Jinghan's true intentions, and her heart was full of doubts. She didn't know whether she should believe him, but she felt that his concern was not a disguise.
At this moment, the atmosphere between the two became subtle and tense. Their eyes met, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier between them.
Xiao Jinghan's face turned slightly red, and he coughed a few times unnaturally. He tried his best to restore himself to his previous cold and aloof appearance, and said in a cold tone: "It's getting late! County Lady Luo, please go back!"
Luo Lingyue's face showed an indescribable expression: "Take good care of yourself, Xiao Shizi! If you vomit blood for no reason again, Lingyue will be guilty of a great crime!"
After saying that, Luo Lingyue turned and left, leaving Xiao Jinghan alone half leaning on the bed. Watching her back gradually disappear, Xiao Jinghan's mouth corners slightly raised, secretly sighing in his heart, this Luo Lingyue is completely different from the legendary nymphomaniac, she is like a little wild cat with bared fangs and claws!
If it were any other young lady from aristocratic family, seeing me vomiting blood, they would have probably lost their minds in panic. How could they be like me, not only checking whether it was real blood, but also warning me so calmly not to demand repayment for my kindness?
He couldn't help but feel sad. Why did he think of the nightmare when he saw her? He panicked in front of her!
Xiao Jinghan came forward for this matter mainly to create a rift between Empress Dowager Xiao and the Queen. One was the culprit who killed my grandfather, and the other was related to the death of my mother! How could he let them have it easy!
Luo Lingyue walked out of the Haoxue Palace slowly, feeling a bit complicated. As soon as she went out, she saw Concubine An's maid coming over and respectfully invited her in. Luo Lingyue's heart tightened, knowing that this summons must be related to what happened in the palace before.
Arriving at Concubine An's palace, Luo Lingyue stood quietly aside. Concubine An's face looked ugly, and her anger was evident in her words: "The Queen is really going too far! She actually let Li Jingshu provoke Zhong Lengqiu to deal with you! Fortunately, Prince Xiao and King Xian stepped forward today, so you didn't suffer any loss!" Her voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction, and she was deeply indignant at what the Queen had done.
Luo Lingyue smiled slightly and tried to comfort Concubine An: "Aunt, His Majesty and the Queen Mother are wise and intelligent, and they will definitely see through everything."
Concubine An had a meaningful look on her face. She was silent for a moment and then slowly said, "The Queen will go to the White Horse Temple to pray on behalf of His Majesty, and Li Jingshu will go with her."
When Luo Lingyue heard this, a look of delight appeared on her face: "That's great! I finally don't have to see that annoying Li Jingshu anymore!" There was a hint of relief in her smile.
Concubine An looked at Luo Lingyue silently, feeling helpless and distressed. "The Queen will not stay in the White Horse Temple for too long. She will select concubines for the Crown Prince and several princes next month. She will come back to preside over the selection! Xiaoqi, your aunt originally wanted to fight for a county lady position for you, so that you can have a higher status in your husband's family in the future. Who would have thought that you have become a thorn in the Queen's side!"
Concubine An's voice was full of guilt and self-blame, and she felt sad for not being able to protect Luo Lingyue.
