Su Fengyi looked at her, not knowing whether to call her Princess Qingyang or Princess Chen. Finally, Su Fengyi said:
"Xu Yao, please come with me."
Chen Fei held the quilt and slowly looked up at Su Fengyi.
She had a blank expression on her face, her eyes were dull, there was no soul in them, she didn't say a word, she just stared at me blankly.
She neither cried nor laughed. In front of Su Fengyi, she seemed like a soulless shell.
Su Fengyi walked closer and when she reached the bed, she realized that the flush on her face was abnormal. She reached out her hand and touched her forehead, and felt it was burning hot.
The incense burner in the bedroom was still burning, and the aroma was sweet, going straight into one's heart.
Su Fengyi left the inner room and told the palace maid outside:
"Put out the stove, carry her out, help Concubine Chen put on her clothes, and open the window."
She called another maid:
"Go to the Imperial Medical Bureau and ask Court Judge Liao to come over and tell them that the Princess wants to see you."
Su Fengyi was waiting outside, and the palace maid brought out the extinguished spice burner.
After a while, a burst of violent crying suddenly broke out from the inner room. The cry was so heartbreaking that it almost tore apart one's soul.
Su Fengyi hesitated, wondering whether she should go in at this time. At this moment, any words of comfort would be pale and powerless. Perhaps it would be better to let her cry alone for a while.
The Concubine cried for a while, and seemed to be slowly getting tired of crying. Her crying gradually weakened, and finally, it became quiet and no sound could be heard.
The maid came out and reported:
"Your Highness, the Concubine Chen cried herself to sleep."
Su Fengyi hummed, feeling as if a huge rock was pressing on her heart.
The Princess invited Liao Yuanpan, who came very quickly and bowed first:
"Greetings to Your Highness."
Su Fengyi asked him to excuse himself, motioned him to look at the incense burner, and then said:
"Help me see what's inside."
Before returning to the Imperial Medical Bureau, Yuanpan Liao had been practicing medicine among the common people for most of his life. His clientele came from a wide range of sources, so he was knowledgeable and had seen everything.
After seeing the things in the incense burner, Judge Liao looked at Su Fengyi with a strange expression, as if he was considering how to talk to Su Fengyi.
I’m afraid I’ll offend the eldest princess’ ears if I tell her this.
Su Fengyi saw his expression and probably guessed what he meant, so she said:
"President Liao, please feel free to speak."
Judge Liao stammered:
"Your Highness, this is the medicine. If it's just this, it's fine. But if I'm not mistaken, there should be pills besides this."
Su Fengyi looked at the palace maid who had just been serving in the room:
"bring here."
The eldest princess's eyes were so cold that they seemed to kill someone. The maid didn't dare to say a word of excuse. She ran in and brought out a bottle of medicine.
Judge Liao took the medicine bottle, poured out a pill, sniffed it, licked it, and then asked the palace maid:
"Where did this medicine come from?"
The maid lowered her head:
"It was sent by the Emperor and given to His Majesty the Concubine."
Su Fengyi asked the judge Liao:
"What is the use of adding medicine to pills?"
When Liao Henian heard the maid say that it was sent by the emperor, he dared not say anything else. He knelt down and kowtowed, then presented the medicine bottle and said:
"Please forgive me, Your Highness. I dare not speak nonsense."
Liao Henian said nothing, but precisely because he said nothing, it was already clear what this was.
The huge rock on his heart became heavier and heavier, making it hard for him to breathe. Su Fengyi took the medicine bottle with one hand and clenched his fist with the other hand, his nails digging into his palm and pinching it until blood came out.
Since when did her brother become like this?
Human desires are endless. Once one desire is satisfied, there will always be another. Even an emperor who rules the world is no exception.
If one does things without restraint in order to satisfy one's own selfish desires, even if one exhausts all the power in the world, his desires will still be insatiable.
He is the emperor, he is the Son of Heaven, but the world does not belong to the emperor alone, it also belongs to millions of subjects in this world.
Only when the king is benevolent can the ministers be loyal.
Su Fengyi suppressed her anger and ordered:
"Liao Henian stays, and the others leave."
After dismissing the others, Su Fengyi asked again:
"Liao Henian, what is this?"
When no one else was around, Liao Henian dared to say:
"In the land of fireworks, there are always some disobedient women who are afraid that their patrons will be unhappy if they insist on being tough, so they will use some tricks, such as pills and drugs, to make the women see their loved ones."
With a loud bang, the medicine bottle in Su Fengyi's hand flew out and shattered on the ground.
Su Fengyi rushed into the inner room of the bedroom and came to the head of Concubine Chen's bed. Because of the loud noise, Concubine Chen had already woken up.
Su Fengyi looked at Concubine Chen:
"Xu Yao, you come with me."
After crying for a while, Concubine Chen lay on the bed looking very weak. This time there was no longer numbness in her eyes, but pain.
Seeing Su Fengyi, she turned away, not wanting to see her, and only said:
"Your Highness, the thing I regret most in my life is that I left with you that day. Please go, I will not go with you. I will not go anywhere, and you don't have to come again."
……
Su Fengyi left Chengqian Palace, her heart filled with pain that was difficult to express. She walked to Qianqing Palace, and Xue Yu came up to her and quickly supported her:
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Su Fengyi heard herself ask numbly:
"What about the emperor?"
Xue Yu supported her and said softly:
"The emperor is tired and has returned to his bedroom to rest."
Su Fengyi looked in the direction of the bedroom and said to Xue Yu in a calm tone:
"Xue Yu, go write the imperial edict for me."
When Su Fengyi said this, she was already prepared. No matter what Xue Yu's reaction was, she was ready and had thought of a strategy to deal with and persuade him.
Xue Yu turned out to be even calmer than him, and said as if she was ordering him to serve a cup of tea:
"Okay, Your Highness."
Su Fengyi told Xue Yu the contents of the imperial edict. Xue Yu repeated it, saying that he had memorized it. He then invited her to the main hall and asked the eunuch to serve her tea and snacks. After everything was arranged, he said:
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will be right back."
After a cup of tea, Xue Yu brought over a sealed imperial edict:
"Your Highness, please take a look."
Su Fengyi took the imperial edict, read it, and asked him:
"You don't even ask about such a big thing, aren't you afraid of being implicated by me?"
Xue Yu smiled and poured her another cup of tea:
"I am very happy to be able to do my best for Your Highness."
Su Fengyi accepted the imperial edict:
"If anything goes wrong tomorrow, you can just say you were unaware. The emperor thinks you are a loyal person, so he will believe you if you say so."
Xue Yu smiled gently and said:
"it is good."
Su Fengyi looked at his expression. Perhaps it was because Xue Yu had imitated Qiao Gui's skills too closely. Su Fengyi couldn't tell for a moment whether he was really saying "good" or just perfunctorily.
……
After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Su Fengyi went to find Lu Hong.
Lu Hong was on duty and looked very surprised to see her.
Su Fengyi walked up to him, but before she could say anything, Lu Hongxian frowned, pulled her hand and looked at her palm.
Su Fengyi's hands were still stained with blood, leaving marks from her fingernails. They looked a little scary.
As the commander of the imperial guards, Lu Hong was in charge of the emperor's safety and was very sensitive to the smell of blood. He must have smelled the blood on her hands just now.
Su Fengyi pulled her hand back:
"Nothing, just a minor injury."
Lu Hong's expression clearly showed that he did not think this was a minor injury. He first went to get some water to wash the tiny wound for her, then got some medicine to apply on it and bandage it.
Su Fengyi handed her hand to him, letting him do his work, and then asked softly:
"Lu Hong, when we were little, the emperor and I had a fight. Did you help me more or the emperor more? If we fight now, will you help me or him?"
