The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

The wind blew, and the snow in the bamboo forest fell down, as if hiding Qi Sili's subsequent words.

Hu Luanfei couldn't hear clearly, he only heard the word "Imperial Concubine".

She thought to herself: This is the heart of an emperor, he thinks women are easy to deceive.

Qi Siriao had been out for quite some time and had not returned. Hu Luanfei couldn't help but raise her head and look at the sky. It was grey and countless snowflakes were floating down. But in her heart, she felt as if there was a heavy hammer hanging, making her very uneasy.

The two stood in the corridor in silence for a moment.

Hu Luanfei glanced at the eunuchs and palace maids who were guarding the gate in an orderly manner, nodded slightly, and said casually: "The prince has not returned for a long time. Your Majesty does not need to stay in my humble abode to wait. Please move to the embassy arranged by Bei Qiu to stay temporarily."

The palace maid who suddenly came in from outside the door knelt down respectfully in front of the two people and said, "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Xu is here."

Hu Luanfei paused, "Is the emperor ill?"

Qi Sili did not respond immediately, but turned to the palace maid and said, "Announce."

Hu Luanfei was stunned for a while, and Qi Sili finally said to her: "My brother said you were sick, and it happened that the imperial physician Xu was with him, so I asked him to come and take a look..."

He was halfway through his words when he suddenly said, "Luan Fei, you must have caught a cold. You look so pale."

Hu Luanfei took a step back to avoid his hand and said, "I'm fine, so I won't bother Doctor Xu."

"That won't do. It's hard to see a doctor in Menghu Mountain. I remember that at the beginning of the year, you asked me to send a royal doctor to see my brother. Now that Royal Doctor Xu is here, he will take a look at you as well."

Hu Luanfei couldn't refuse, thinking that his pretending to be sick would be exposed, which would be a crime of deceiving the emperor!

It's over!

She looked flustered at the moment, as if she was deliberately hiding something.

Qi Sili remained expressionless and allowed the palace servants to take them back to the hall.

Qi Sili sat down in the main room, with two eunuchs standing on both sides.

During this time, two young palace maids served tea.

Hu Luanfei secretly complained: This is obviously her home, but it feels like I'm a guest at someone else's house.

At this moment, I have only one feeling: sitting on pins and needles.

The palace maid brought Doctor Xu in, kowtowed to Sili Qi, and then turned around and kowtowed to her.

Qi Sili said, "No need to be polite. Please check for me whether Princess Zhan's condition is serious."

"The minister obeys the order."

Hu Luanfei glanced at him. Doctor Xu was in his early fifties and was obviously an old man who had been in the palace for a long time. His eyes were dark and bright, and he lowered his gaze, not daring to look around. He looked very steady and dignified.

She felt guilty the moment she saw it.

Doctor Xu took out the pulse pillow. Hu Luanfei hesitated for a long time and still didn't dare to put his hand on it.

She knew that this guilty little trick could not be hidden from Qi Sili.

Silence is often a very effective expression.

Sure enough, Qi Sili couldn't help but ask, "What else does Princess Zhan have concerns about?"

Hu Luanfei lowered his head and didn't even dare to breathe. The whole hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Your Majesty, I just caught a cold. There is really no need to trouble Doctor Xu."

"I'm worried." He put down the teacup and signaled Doctor Xu to take action.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Hu Luanfei placed his hand tremblingly on the pulse pillow.

"Uu——"

A familiar sound of horse reining was heard outside the door.

Hu Luanfei's heart finally settled down, as if his savior had come. He stood up excitedly and looked out the door eagerly.

Qi Siliao jumped off his horse, carrying a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, and came in from outside the door.

However, the ignorant palace servant outside the door stopped him and said, "The emperor has ordered that Your Majesty cannot enter for the time being."

Through the wind and snow, Hu Luanfei looked him in the eye. Her sharp eyes showed her dissatisfaction with Qi Sili.

After all, she knew the subtle relationship between the two brothers, so she didn't have time to think about it. While Qi Siriao was still angry, she lifted her skirt and ran towards him.

"My Lord, you are finally back." Hu Luanfei rushed past the palace servants who were blocking her way and threw herself into Qi Siriao's arms. "It feels like a long time since I woke up and didn't see you."

Qi Si Liao's fingers clenched around her waist and paused for a moment, "I neglected your feelings. Come back earlier next time."

Hu Luanfei took Qi Siliao's hand and prepared to step into the courtyard, but the two palace servants still stretched out their hands to block their way, "The emperor has ordered that the prince is not allowed to enter for the time being."

Qi Siliao's face darkened instantly. Seeing this, Hu Luanfei quickly pinched his waist. Then, she said to Qi Sili who was sitting in the room with a pleasant face, "Wherever the prince is, I will be there."

Qi Sili asked: "Don't you regret it?"

This is the last chance.

Thinking of Qi Sili's character and status, she quickly made up her mind, without hesitation, "I will never regret it."

There was a brief silence inside and outside the courtyard.

Qi Sili's gaze fell on Qi Siriao. It was not the passionate look of an elder brother for his younger brother, but rather a look that was slightly like that of an emperor looking at a traitor.

"I have been very kind to you since you were young, and I always put you first in everything. Today, I just want to hear for whom you are determined to transform Tiger Mountain."

Qi Siriao pulled Hu Luanfei behind him, staring at the people in the room with eyes as cold as a wolf or a tiger. Even his coarse linen clothes could not resist the kingly aura he exuded.

"Your Majesty asks even though you know the answer."

The more he asked, the more Qi Siriao tried to play it safe.

Finally, Qi Sili's eyes fell on Hu Luanfei, "I underestimated Princess Zhan."

"I thank my brother the Emperor for granting me the marriage. Luan Fei is indeed very good."

Qi Sili glanced around the small shabby house and said, "I remember that I rewarded a few beauties here before, why can't I see them?"

Hu Luanfei was worried and tugged at Qi Siliao's sleeve. Qi Siliao held her hand and patted it gently.

This small interaction was clearly seen by Qi Sili. He lowered his eyelids, as if hiding his displeasure, and said, "As a member of the royal family, you know the consequences of disobeying the imperial decree."

As soon as he finished speaking, everything became silent; even the rustling sound of snowflakes could no longer be heard.

Hu Luanfei looked up nervously, but Qi Siliao's expression remained unchanged, still looking distant and lonely.

It seems that he can handle it.

All I heard him say was, "They were originally my concubines. According to Daqian law, the master has the right to deal with any concubine. They can be exchanged with other princes and nobles, or sold."

"sold?"

Qi Siriao said: "I have arranged good families for them, please rest assured, my emperor."

His tone was low and calm, and one could not tell whether he was happy or angry.

I've been standing outside for a long time.

Hu Luanfei was wearing thin clothes and couldn't stand the cold, so he quietly crawled under Qi Siliao's robe and whispered, "If he really doesn't let me in, leave this shabby house to him. Let's go to Jiangling to warm ourselves by the fire. It's so cold today."

Qi Si Liao only said "hmm" and clasped his fists towards the people in the room, "Your Majesty, please rest in peace. I will take the princess home first."

Qi Sili stopped looking involuntarily, feeling slightly distracted. He always felt that something was wrong, different from what he thought.

"Isn't this your home?"
