The Queen sealed her heart and locked up her love, and the Emperor was trapped in the crematorium

During this period, there might be something that caused a rift between the Emperor and the Empress.

But Yuan Nanzhi did not continue asking, because she saw that Xie Yaoqing was not in a good mood and did not want to talk more. Naturally, she would not be tactless to bring up some inappropriate topics. After all, she and Xie Yaoqing were not very familiar with each other, and their relationship was not very good when they were in the palace. There are some things that are not suitable to be said.

If you say it rashly, people will think you are gloating over other people's misfortune and are just trying to watch the fun.

In the afternoon, the sky suddenly became gloomy, and a burst of rapid raindrops fell unexpectedly. It was too late to return to the city at this time. Xie Yaoqing remembered the friendship of Yuan Nanzhi who had given her a kite, so she took the initiative to invite him to visit her manor.

Although the rain was not too heavy, the dark clouds in the sky and the howling wind indicated that a downpour was about to fall. If you went back to the city in the rain, you would most likely get soaked on the way.

Facing Xie Yaoqing's enthusiastic invitation, Yuan Nanzhi smiled and said, "In that case, I will bother you, Your Majesty."

Xie Yaoqing shook his head. "You're welcome. What's the point of bothering me?"

Just as Xie Yaoqing and others walked into the house, Bai Fu couldn't wait to run back. He didn't come back alone, but brought two friends with him, a big black dog and a big yellow dog.

Bai Fu ran over excitedly, subconsciously wanting to pounce on Xie Yaoqing.

Xie Yaoqing immediately stopped it sternly.

The puppy was covered in dirty mud. No one knew how long he had been playing in the fields. Now he even wanted to rub against her.

After being scolded harshly by his owner, Bai Fu immediately lowered his head and his ears drooped as well. His pair of bright black dog eyes opened wide and he looked at Xie Yaoqing innocently, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Yuan Nanzhi's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Is this the dog that the queen raised? What a handsome and majestic dog!"

Xie Yaoqing turned around after hearing the voice and saw Yuan Nanzhi staring at Bai Fu intently, with his eyes never leaving Bai Fu. It was obvious that Yuan Nanzhi was very interested in Bai Fu, and could even be said to like him very much.

Xie Yaoqing couldn't help but feel a little surprised, because she never thought that Yuan Nanzhi actually liked dogs so much. You know, when she was in the palace before, Yuan Nanzhi didn't seem to like dogs, let alone raising dogs. But if you think about it carefully, it's also true that dogs were not allowed in the palace, so even if Yuan Nanzhi wanted to raise a dog, she didn't have the opportunity.

When it comes to Bai Fu's advantages, its appearance is definitely one of them. It is definitely a beautiful dog. At least in Xie Yaoqing's opinion, Bai Fu's appearance is indeed very good-looking.

But Xie Yaoqing is Bai Fu's owner, and she is the owner of her own dog, so she must think the best of it.

However, from Yuan Nanzhi's reaction, we can see that Bai Fu should also be in line with her aesthetic taste. Her eyes were shining, and the words "want to pet a dog" were clearly written on her face.

However, Bai Fu is not the kind of dog that anyone can approach. It simply ignores those who are unfamiliar and not close to it. So Yuan Nanzhi could only watch Bai Fu run away happily, with no intention of paying any attention to her at all.

Yuan Nanzhi sighed in disappointment.

Seeing this, Xie Yaoqing couldn't help but laugh and comforted him: "If you really like dogs, you can consider raising one yourself."

Yuan Nanzhi nodded repeatedly, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "To be honest with you, Madam Madam, I actually already have three dogs."

Then, Yuan Nanzhi began to talk about her pets, as if she had opened a chatterbox. She enthusiastically shared her experiences with the dogs and enthusiastically exchanged her experiences of raising dogs with Xie Yaoqing.

As time went by, the rain got heavier and heavier, and there was still no sign of abating until night fell. Xie Yaoqing simply asked Yuan Nanzhi to stay overnight and go back tomorrow.

The next morning, Yuan Nanzhi left. After her constant attempts to get close to him yesterday, Bai Fu was finally willing to pay some attention to her. Yuan Nanzhi was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling after getting to touch the dog as she wished.

After seeing Yuan Nanzhi off, Xie Yaoqing suddenly felt that the village had become deserted. There were clearly quite a few people missing, but perhaps it was because it was so lively yesterday, and today there was no one to joke with her, so she felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"Your Majesty, it's almost April. Do you want to return to the palace?" Zhiyu asked.

Xie Yaoqing didn't understand what the date had to do with whether she returned to the palace or not.

Isn't it April that I can't go back to the palace?

It's April, so I have to go back to the palace?

Seeing Xie Yaoqing's bewildered expression, obviously she hadn't remembered it, Jue Xia kindly reminded her: "Your Highness forgot that there is a day in April that is the Wanshou Festival. In the past, this day was the most lively and festive time."

Wanshou Festival, as the name suggests, has a very good meaning. It is the day to celebrate the birthday of a country's king. Naturally, it is a very grand and happy event. How can it not be lively and festive?

Xie Yaoqing nodded in sudden realization: "So it's the Wanshou Festival."

Only then did she remember that every year on the first day of April, a grand celebration was held in the palace to celebrate the emperor's birthday.

"Let's talk about it later." Xie Yaohuan said perfunctorily.

Zhiyu and Juexia looked at each other. The Wanshou Festival was on the first day of April. They counted on their fingers and realized that time was running out. It was already late March, and they didn't know whether their queen had any plans to return to the palace.

From that day on, someone would visit the manor every day. They all came under the emperor's order to invite Xie Yaoqing to return to the palace, and brought a handwritten note from Xiao Chengxu.

On the day before the Wanshou Festival, Xie Yaoqing decided to return to the palace.

When stepping into the palace gate, Xie Yaoqing got off the carriage. He was not paying attention and his foot slipped and he sprained his ankle.

Zhiyu and Juexia hurriedly helped her up. Xie Yaoqing sighed softly and complained inwardly.

She felt so unlucky. Was it her destiny to be incompatible with the palace? She could sprain her ankle just by walking.

I don’t sprain my ankle normally, but I sprained my ankle as soon as I returned to the palace. This is really bad luck.

As soon as Xie Yaoqing's carriage entered the capital, the news reached Xiao Chengxu's ears. He estimated the time and thought that Xie Yaoqing should be here soon, so he left the imperial study and went to greet him.

I happened to see Xie Yaoqing being helped onto the phoenix chariot.

Xiao Chengxu strode up to Xie Yaoqing, his face full of concern and anxiety. He stared at Xie Yaoqing's face, which was obviously much paler than usual, with his brows furrowed and his eyes revealing deep worry.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?" Xiao Chengxu asked anxiously.

Xie Yaoqing closed her eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Zhiyu replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Queen accidentally sprained her ankle just now."

When Xiao Chengxu heard this, he immediately asked, "Did you invite a royal doctor?"

Zhiyu said truthfully: "I have sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to summon the imperial physician, and now I am preparing to send the queen back to Kunning Palace to rest."

The Kunning Palace has been renovated, so Xie Yaoqing naturally no longer needs to live in Chengqian Palace.

"Go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity."

Compared with Kunning Palace, Qianqing Palace was closer, so the imperial physician rushed to treat Xie Yaoqing as soon as possible. So, Xie Yaoqing was taken to Qianqing Palace.

After entering the Qianqing Palace, Xiao Chengxu carried Xie Yaoqing into the bedroom and gently and carefully took off her shoes and socks.

When he examined her carefully, he found that her ankle was severely red and swollen, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding fair and smooth skin, and looked quite shocking.

"to beat."

Xiao Chengxu suppressed his heartache, and before Xie Yaoqing could react, he suddenly exerted force with the hand that was holding her ankle.
