The empress dowager looked at Ling Qi who was close in front of her with red eyes, and put her cold hand on Ling Qi's face, "Qi'er, you have lost weight, the empress mother knows that you must have suffered a lot in Qin Jue."

Ling Qi peeled off the Empress Dowager's hand from his face, and held the cold hand with both hands, "Mother, I can't stay in the palace forever."

Who doesn't know that the mother and queen protect the calf all over the world?And because of this, he was controversial in the palace.When the first emperor passed on the throne, he did not dare to leave the palace for a period of time because of his mother's deeds, but he knew very well that his mother was wholeheartedly for him.

The queen mother didn't seem to hear this, she just glanced at Ling Yuancheng who was standing dryly at the side, and dragged Ling Qi away. When passing by Ling Yuancheng, Ling Qi accidentally bumped into Ling Yuancheng's sneer.That smile is very familiar, just like back then, but now he will no longer be frightened for half a month.

The Empress Dowager let Ling Yuancheng be humiliated in front of her courtiers again, everyone couldn't help lowering their heads and dared not look at the emperor's expression at the moment, only the Prime Minister Rui Cheng and Li Chong who came to see the emperor with a smile all the way, but their eyes were cold.

Except for the queen, other family members were not allowed to go out of the palace to welcome the envoys back to court.The emperor has no empress, and the only concubine has passed away, and there is no hope of going out. Xia can only take the rigidity given to him by Master Li and study slowly by himself, ignoring the other place. There is a lot of disturbance.

Most of today's maids and eunuchs were sent to Jinlan Palace to take care of the Eighth Prince. Xiao Xizi said that no one would deliver food, so she went to the imperial dining room to get lunch by herself.

Pushing open the door, stepping out carefully, looking for a faint fragrance and walking, when he stepped on a certain step, he stopped, bent down, closed his eyes with a dark nose, took a light breath, and smelled When it comes to the fragrance of flowers, I just don't know what kind of flower it is, but it smells very nice.

"You are……?"

Hearing the sound as crisp as a silver bell at first, he took a step forward without the slightest preparation, but he didn't expect that there was an obstacle in that position. Unexpectedly, his ankle sprained and his body slammed Falling to the side, he hugged his head in a hurry, after the pains one after another, his face was cut by the flower branch, and his body through the clothes was also stabbed with some pain, "呵——", frowning, he touched the injured part of his cheek , There was a stabbing pain when I first touched it, and it seemed that there was no bleeding and the skin was broken.

"Are you okay? Why are you so careless? Let me pull you up."

Before he could refuse, the man had already grabbed his hand and pulled him up in a state of complete ignorance.That hand was as warm as that woman's back then, completely different from his perennially cold hands, making it easy to feel nostalgic for that temperature.The last time he lingered extravagantly for a while, the price was to be separated from the dog and come to this unknown palace...

Pulling that hand away from himself, he said slightly alienated: "I'm fine."

"Who are you? You don't look like a eunuch in your clothes. Could it be that you belong to Fenglan Palace?"

Feng Lan Palace?He was indeed in Fenglan Palace before.Nodding his head, he heard the man continue to say: "Fenglan Palace doesn't seem to be able to come out casually. Now the Empress Dowager is having a banquet. It will be difficult if someone finds out. Do you want me to send you back?"

"No need..." Before he could speak, the man had already pulled his arm and walked up. There was a burst of pain from the place where he was twisted, and he bit his lower lip, but didn't cry out in pain.

Maybe it was because his walking posture was too obvious, the man stopped, "Did you sprain your ankle?"

"En." I thought that the man would let him go, but I never thought that the man just said "oh" and continued to move forward, without slowing down, and continued to grit his teeth and endure.

He thought he could get away with it like this, but when he stumbled for the fourth time, the man finally said suspiciously: "You...can't you...see?" His tone was full of uncertainty, and he wanted to explain it directly , the man began to answer himself: "I will help you keep it secret, but why did you appear there just now? Did the eunuch who accompanied you take you there?"

"Yes." Besides yes, he didn't know what else to answer.

"Okay, I'll take you back, come on, take a step, okay, just go straight."

After walking around for a few times, he heard the man exhale and said happily: "Okay, I'm at Fenglan Palace, I don't know where you live, and I can't go in according to the rules of the palace, so I can only walk here with you." The uneasy voice continued: "Otherwise I will accompany you here and wait for your accompanying eunuch? You have to ask the imperial physician to fix your foot."

"No, no, you go back first. I'll be waiting, thank you just now." He hurriedly replied, and he was relieved to hear that the man no longer insisted.

"Then I'll go first, I have to go to the Queen Mother."

"OK, thank you."

After the man left, he completely relaxed.Touching the gradually swollen ankle, he sighed and didn't know what to do.His stomach was empty, and only then did he think of Xiao Xizi.

Xiao Xizi didn't see him when she came back, so she didn't know if she would be worried.

Xiao Xizi, who came back with the food box, looked at the open door and was puzzled at first, and then panicked when she walked in. She hurriedly put the food box on the table, looking for traces of Xia, but she yelled back and forth in the yard several times. No one responded for the second time, and sat on the ground with his head empty.

——Young master is gone? !

The next moment I thought about whether I need to report this matter to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to send someone to look for it, but...Xiao Xizi looked in the direction of Jinlan Palace. Even if he reported it, His Majesty would not take any action, would he?

After Ling Yuancheng picked up a glass of wine, Ling Qi and the ministers also stood up one after another. Mu Yangfeng, who was sitting next to Ao Fenglie, hesitated looking at the clear water wine in his hand, but chose to drink it anyway.

Ao Fenglie picked up a pot of wine and poured it into Mu Yangfeng's empty cup. Mu Yangfeng gave him a sharp eye, and Ao Fenglie slumped his shoulders, "I asked the waitress to order the tea for you, kindly pour it for you Come on, I didn't expect you to have this look, it seems that you don't need it anymore."

Hearing this, Mu Yangfeng snatched it away, and said with his eyes raised above his head: "Don't think that I will be grateful to you." He stole a glass full of his own before relaxing.It's okay to let him drink a few cups, but he took a look at Ao Fenglie and thought that if he drank too much, it might be cheaper for him.

He still remembered the last time Ao Fenglie secretly took away his medicine.

After drinking the wine in the glass, Ling Yuancheng glanced at Ling Qi who was sitting below him on the right side, "Eighth brother, brother Huang wants to toast you this time."

The ministers drank with each other, not paying attention to the movements of the two above.

Ling Qi picked up the glass silently, and the waitress beside him filled him with wine in time. He stood up and silently raised the glass to Ling Yuancheng, nodded and drank the fine wine in the glass in one gulp.

Ling Yuancheng showed a mocking expression, followed by a sip of wine, and the wine glass was placed heavily on the table. Due to the noise, several people noticed it, but only Wei Yan who was standing beside him understood, and then he heard Ling Yuancheng sigh: "You still don't want to be with me?" The emperor speaks."

The Eighth Prince watched the singing and dancing under the stage without answering, making it unclear whether he heard it or not.

Xia wondered if he should be glad that most of the people in the palace had gathered in Jinlan Palace at this time, otherwise... his appearance at this time probably would be difficult for him to hide.

Frowning and grabbing a goal post, he jumped forward with his uninjured right foot. After several successes in a row, he slammed his knee on the ground heavily at the next moment. This is not the first time, but this time the right leg is more It got worse, and it seemed that even standing up became difficult.

The maids who passed by from time to time would walk past him, but they didn't say a word, leaving behind only the fragrance of the woman's body, and the eunuchs would at most cast some curious eyes when they walked by him, which he couldn't see, but that This feeling is very strong.

Sitting on the ladder, hugging his right leg, waiting for the pain to dissipate slowly, "Xiao Xizi..." His eyes filled his sockets, and the moment he closed his eyes, tears were squeezed out and stained his cheeks.

I buried my head between my knees, and for the first time I couldn't get up willfully, so I just waited here for someone to come.

Xiao Xizi anxiously searched for nearby temples, but found nothing. Just when she was discouraged and wanted to seek His Majesty's help, no matter whether His Majesty would look for it or not, two maids walked by him, "Just now I don't know who it is from Fenglan Palace, his leg is about to break, right? My girl said that male pets are very dangerous now. His Majesty has favored male pets recently. I will talk to the girl carefully later, there is a male pet With a wound on Chong's face, the girl can have one less opponent."

Broken leg?At that time, Xiao Xizi felt that his head must have been kicked by a donkey, so he thought that the person described by the waitress was his son. He rushed in front of the two people almost madly, and asked them eagerly where they saw that man. Damn, after getting the answer, he ran to that place as fast as he could. After he didn't see the so-called male favorite, he stood there discouraged. After a while, he left with a sigh. When he heard a cry nearby, he turned his head sharply.

Was that the son's voice just now? !

He ran back in a hurry, and after looking back, forth, left, and right, he looked in one direction.That direction is the place leading to the cold palace, usually few people go there, where will the young master be?

He walked over suspiciously, and when he got closer, he could see the back of a person. The person was leaning against the doorpost, taking a step forward in a strange posture, and the clothes on his body were covered with some dust.

The clothes belonged to the young master, or he took them out himself, "Young master?"

The man stopped abruptly, "Xiao Xizi?"

Xiao Xizi didn't care about anything, she rushed forward and hugged the thin back, "My lord, why did you come here, do you know how much the servant is worried about you? What if you are found out!? "

After going through this, Xiao Xizi realized that she didn't know when she had used her sincerity to this master, and she began to fear that one day he would reveal his secrets and be abandoned by His Majesty, not that her own eunuch's future would be destroyed.In the past, he looked down on this person very much, thinking that this person's status was lower than his, but he entered the palace, even if he was a bad male favorite, at least he was in the palace, no matter how low his status was, it was still a status. Jealousy made him speak out against Xia.

Since when did he change?
