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

"This this……"

"It's settled!" The Queen made the decision without waiting for Su Minglang to refuse. Su Minglang had always wanted to find an opportunity to get close to the Queen. Now that the opportunity had come to them, she had no reason to refuse and had to accept it despite declining.

"It's getting late, and I'm feeling a little cold. I won't stay here for long. Don't worry about me, just continue." The Queen swallowed the last piece of tofu in the bowl, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and stood up to say goodbye.

"Farewell, Her Majesty." Su Minglang also stood up.

The moonlight filtered through the light clouds, casting a silver glow on the branches of the imperial garden. The breeze, carrying a cool breeze, passed through the rockery, blew the fire to sway, and lengthened people's shadows.

"Are you feeling cold? I brought a fur coat with me." Xiao Ye saw Su Minglang staring at the fire for a long time and then asked, "Or should we go back too?"

Su Minglang didn't say anything, but just shook his head. The firewood in the stove made a crackling sound, and sparks burst out, splashed on the wall and fell back.

Su Minglang stared at the fire quietly for a long time, until a gust of cold wind blew through her clothes. She shivered unconsciously and was awakened from her daze.

"It's getting late, and Nanxing has just recovered from her illness. Even if she wears a fur coat, it's still not easy to be blown by the wind. Let's go back, and don't forget to put out the fire." Su Minglang pulled the corner of his mouth and stood up. "Push the stove into the rockery and hide it. Find someone to bring it back tomorrow. It's too hot after the fire was just lit."

"Yes!" Xiao Ye and Nan Xing packed up their things quickly. The two tried their best to restore the place to its original state. The three of them walked towards Linglong Palace under the moonlight.

Su Minglang remained silent along the way and no one knew what he was thinking about. Xiao Ye opened his mouth to ask but Nan Xing grabbed his arm.

Xiao Ye looked back at her in confusion, only to see her shaking her head at him, "The Queen must be unhappy, sister, you'd better not ask."

Xiao Ye turned around and looked at Su Minglang worriedly, but in his heart he agreed with Nan Xing's words. His master had always been a proud person, so how could such a person be willing to be seen as cowardly?

……

"Your Majesty, one of the palace maids beside Concubine Su did catch a cold, but she has almost recovered after taking medicine." Imperial Physician Gu stood respectfully in the Taiji Palace and bowed to the man sitting in the upper seat.

"is it serious?"

Doctor Gu was a little puzzled as to why the emperor suddenly cared about the safety of a palace maid, but he still replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, when I took her pulse, I found that she was very weak and her pulse was very weak. It was obvious that she had just recovered from a serious illness. I think the disease must have been very serious when she contracted it."

"I have also asked the two people who examined her at the Imperial Medical Bureau. At that time, the maid collapsed on the bed and was unconscious. Her condition was very urgent."

"Well, go down! Take good care of Zhaoyi's health in the future." Xiao Heng nodded and waved his hand to signal him to leave.

Only when Doctor Gu walked away did Xiao Heng's expression ease up and he breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, "It seems that Su Minglang appeared in the Imperial Medical Bureau to invite a doctor for the palace maid."

"Yes, Your Majesty. This is consistent with what Xiaoqing and Xiaohe said. It seems that this matter really has nothing to do with Su Zhaoyi." Li Peidong said from the side.

It seems that they had already asked Qinghe and the other girl before arranging for the imperial physician to go to Linglong Palace.

"It's good that it's not her. If it was really her, I don't know what to do." Xiao Heng relaxed his stiff body with relief and leaned lazily on the back of the chair. "After all, I have doted on her for so long. If I suddenly make things difficult for her because of the death of a palace maid, it would be too abrupt."

I don't know if this was what Xiao Heng was thinking in his heart, or if he was just making an excuse for feeling relieved, but he definitely felt like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

"But if it wasn't Su Zhaoyi, then who could it be?" Li Peidong frowned. Xiao Heng only saw the advantages of not being Su Minglang, but forgot that there were so many people in his harem. If it wasn't Su Minglang, finding the murderer would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Since we can't find her, let's just stop looking. She's just a palace maid. We can bury her according to the rules." Xiao Heng just breathed a sigh of relief but then frowned again. "Since someone has pointed the finger at the palace maid, I might as well find a palace maid."

"Li Peidong, go find a palace maid with a clean family background. It would be best if there is no one behind her, so that it will be easier to deal with it when the time comes."

Li Peidong frowned imperceptibly, "Yes, I'll do it right away."

"Oh, right! Don't tell my sister about this... Li, don't tell her, lest she gets suspicious." Xiao Heng waved his hand to signal him to do it quickly. "I am doing this for her safety. I believe she will understand my painstaking efforts."

"The slave retire."

Li Peidong walked out slowly, sighed as he looked at the long night, and touched the gray hair on his temples, feeling a sense of panic in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't have much time left, but why does the Emperor..."

The old servant, who had served the royal family since childhood, sighed helplessly. His already pale hair and beard looked even more desolate under the moonlight.

"As long as it's not her, as long as it's not her." Xiao Heng in the room was a little conflicted. His feelings for Li were beyond doubt, but when he encountered this incident, he subconsciously thought that Su Minglang was innocent.

Xiao Heng didn't know why he was so sure, but he felt in his heart that Su Minglang was not that kind of person, even though he had not really known Su Minglang for a long time.

Xiao Heng suddenly felt a little flustered. He suddenly realized that perhaps he had never really understood this nominal favorite concubine, or in other words, his understanding of Su Minglang was not even as deep as that of the queen, with whom he had only met a few times.

"Su Minglang, Su Minglang, I thought you were a little wild cat with sharp claws, but you always give me some misunderstandings from time to time, making me feel that I am needed by you."

"But for such a long time, you have never asked me for anything. Even your promotion was granted by me."

"But what exactly do you want?" Xiao Heng played with the teacup. The smooth surface of the porcelain cup shone with golden light under the firelight. Xiao Heng felt more and more that the woman was like a thick fog, which could accommodate many people but made it difficult for anyone to see clearly.

"The Su family has raised a good daughter, huh?" Xiao Heng sneered, "I'm afraid if Mr. Su knew that his granddaughter was so capable, he wouldn't have sent her here."

"I find it increasingly difficult to control you, Langlang."

After all, there are so many beautiful things in this world, and people without desires are the most terrifying people.
