I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

Nan Xing didn’t quite understand, but knew that what Su Minglang said must make sense, so he nodded vigorously, and the matter was over.

Of course, she didn't regard Su Minglang's words as an apology. After all, the master never needed to apologize to the servants.

After leaving Nanxing's room, Xiaoye asked her with a smile: "Master, if you say something like that, aren't you afraid that you will lose all your prestige in the future?"

Su Minglang glared at her helplessly, but replied sternly: "The so-called way of ruling subordinates, the so-called majesty, are all directed at outsiders."

"Are you outsiders?"

"Of course not!" Xiao Ye answered without hesitation. The two smiled at each other. Xiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the gap between them had completely disappeared.

"It's been too long. I don't want to drag it on any longer." Su Minglang changed from being gentle just now to a cold expression on her face. "It doesn't make sense to be controlled by others like this!"

"Master, what do you want me to do?" Xiao Ye was also a little scared. If the emperor had not seen them at that time, Su Minglang might not have been able to hold on.

"Two things." Su Minglang said calmly: "First, let Nanxing go and make an appointment with Xiao Xizi. I want to meet him and ask her to tell others about Concubine Gu Shu."

"Okay!" Xiao Ye nodded and said, "What about the second thing?"

"The second thing?" Su Minglang smiled, "Wait."

"Wait?" Xiao Ye looked at her doubtfully: "Who are you waiting for?"

"Waiting for someone with ulterior motives." Su Minglang said, and the story that Li Zhao told her that night emerged in her mind.

"It's okay, just wait slowly. Anyway, what I have the most is time." Su Minglang smiled indifferently: "I am more interested in that eunuch Xi now."

Xiao Ye nodded and turned to go out. Su Minglang watched her leaving and stood silently in the middle of the room. The flickering candlelight reflected his face, which was half gloomy and half bright.

Xiao Heng was a little conflicted. He didn't know whether he should stay with Li or go visit the seriously ill Su Zhaoyi. If it were in the past, he would never have such confusion, but now Su Minglang seemed to occupy a different position in his heart.

The most important thing Xiao Xizi learned from following Li Peidong was to read people's expressions, so he saw through Xiao Heng's inner struggle and said, "Your Majesty, are you worried about Miss Li's illness?"

Xiao Xizi's hesitant look soon aroused Xiao Heng's interest. If Li Peidong was present, he would know what Xiao Xizi was going to say and would stop him without saying a word. However, ever since Su Minglang mentioned that he was old last time, Xiao Heng intended to let him rest more and would have told him to go back and rest on a night like this.

It was only when Xiao Xizi saw that he was not around that she mustered up the courage to speak out.

"I am a little worried about my sister's health." Xiao Heng shook his head. He felt that Xiao Xizi did not see through his thoughts. He was indeed a little worried about Li, but he was also a little worried about Su Minglang's condition. "Is that all you want to ask? Why do you look so panicked?"

"I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not." Xiao Xizi shrank his neck, pretending to be scared, and timidly looked at Xiao Heng's face. After a while, he slowly said, "How about this, I'd better not say it."

"Just say it if you have something to say! Your father has never been so timid in front of me!" Xiao Heng frowned and said dissatisfiedly.

Li Peidong naturally would not show this kind of expression in front of him again. Xiao Xizi stuck out his tongue in his heart, and he would definitely not say what he was about to say.

"Your servant is terrified!" Xiao Xizi knelt on the ground without saying a word, looking extremely timid and frightened, but he spoke without delay: "Your servant, your servant just thinks that Miss Li's illness is, a little strange."

"Is there something strange?" Xiao Heng turned around and looked at him, motioning him to finish his words.

Xiao Xizi knelt tremblingly, shook his head in panic and refused to say anything, knocking his head on the ground with a clanging sound: "I am guilty! I shouldn't have criticized my master!"

"Alright!" Xiao Heng squatted down and grabbed his body, "I told you to say it!"

"Slave, I just think that Miss Li might not be sick!" Xiao Xizi closed his eyes and spoke out his thoughts all at once, then shrank his neck and waited for Xiao Heng's decision.

Xiao Heng was not as angry as expected. Instead, he stood up silently and slowly walked to the dragon chair and sat down. "Why do you say that?"

Seeing that he looked calm, Xiao Xizi was relieved. She raised her head and said softly, "I feel that the Imperial Hospital is full of talented people. It can be said that it has gathered famous doctors from all over the world. However, so many famous doctors can't even keep the baby safe."

"Your Majesty, don't you think this is a bit suspicious?" Xiao Xizi paused and continued when he saw that Xiao Heng's expression did not change, "Imperial Doctor Zhao is a famous expert, but even he is helpless. Does Your Majesty really think that Imperial Doctor Zhao is incompetent?"

"What else?" Xiao Heng's eyes flashed with struggle, and he raised his head and stared at Xiao Xizi, "What else do you want to say?"

"Slave, slave..." Xiao Xizi stuttered and began to tremble uncontrollably due to the pressure released by Xiao Heng. However, he knew that if he didn't say some things today, he might never have the chance to do so again.

"You asked all the imperial doctors to focus on treating Miss Li. Today, something happened to Concubine Su. Her palace maids came to Taiji Hall to ask you for help. But what about the other palace maids? Where do those people get the courage?"

Xiao Xizi shuddered and simply didn't look at his expression. She gritted her teeth and finished her words in one breath: "Su Zhaoyi is your favorite concubine, but she has to be treated by no one. I'm afraid there are many people in the harem who dare not speak out but are angry!"

"If Miss Li is ill, it's fine. If she's not ill..."

"Enough!" Xiao Heng stood up suddenly. Xiao Xizi trembled violently with his movement and felt that his life was going to end here.

"Who taught you to say such things?" Xiao Heng walked closer and asked word by word, "Was it Li Peidong? Or Su Minglang?"

"That's what I feel!" Xiao Xizi shook his head vigorously, "I'm just, just worried about Your Majesty."

"Ever since Miss Li fell ill, you have been staying by her side every night. I have seen how haggard she has become. I cannot bear to see her like that, so, that is why..."

"You dog slave!" Xiao Heng kicked him. Xiao Xizi's thin body could not withstand such a kick and he fell heavily to the ground. However, he was afraid of Xiao Heng's pressure and did not dare to cry out in pain and knelt back quickly.

"I will never hear these words from Li Peidong in my lifetime."
