Sunlight filled the entire palace, and it was as brilliant as before. She folded a plum blossom between her fingers and held it in her palm. There were a few drops of water on the small pink petals, and the yellow core of the flower hid a drop of dew. With a slight tremble, a drop of dew soaked in the fragrance of flowers fell and slid across her palm. A white flower dress with purple edges was worn on her body, and she also wore a warm purple coat. At this moment, she was walking in the imperial garden, followed by a few palace maids, including a palace maid who specially led the way to introduce her.
This was the first time she had come out since she came here. Of course, it was necessary to meet the Emperor every day.
"Does the Crown Prince rarely come out?" Fleur stopped and asked, playing with the winter plum in her hand. Finally, she tore off the last piece and dropped it into the dust at her feet.
When Yu Furong suddenly asked about the Crown Prince, the palace maids were stunned. Then, a palace maid came forward and replied," Princess, His Highness rarely leaves the Crown Prince's residence except for the Emperor.”
"Is that so?" Hibiscus rubbed the plum blossom in her hand, which only had the flower core left. Her hand loosened, and it completely shattered and fell to the ground.
Seeing Furong's reaction, several palace maids looked at each other and secretly communicated with each other. Could it be true that this princess from the Northern Liao Dynasty really came to marry their Crown Prince?
Furong did not say anything else. She took a handkerchief from the maid beside her, wiped her hands, and continued to walk forward.
"I really don't understand why the princess of Beiliao would come to our Southern Kingdom as a guest. I don't remember when our Southern Kingdom had such a good relationship with Beiliao.”A middle-aged man with a big belly, wearing an official uniform and a fifth rank official hat, walked towards Furong. In front of him was Prime Minister Zhao. It was said that Prime Ministers were the pillars of the imperial court. Of course, there was also General Tang, who assisted the Emperor in court and resisted the enemy outside. Therefore, when walking with a fifth rank official, Prime Minister Zhao's bright red official uniform was more eye-catching.
"Alright, Lord Xu, whatever the emperor does is reasonable. I just don't know what Bei Liao is planning.”Prime Minister Zhao said.
The man called Lord Xu sighed and flung his sleeves. He did not say anything else, but in the next second, a trace of pain flashed across his face. He held his abdomen and endured it.
Seeing this, Prime Minister Zhao asked worriedly," What happened to Lord Xu?”
"No, it's nothing!" Lord Xu gasped and put down his hand.
"Could it be that the wound on his abdomen hasn't recovered yet?”Prime Minister Zhao asked with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Prime Minister Zhao. The wound has recovered, but it still hurts occasionally!”Lord Xu smiled.
"The murderer hasn't been caught yet? Didn't you say that there was an arrest warrant?" Prime Minister Zhao asked kindly.
" The murderer is very cunning." Speaking of this matter, Lord Xu became angry. Because of the previous incident, the Emperor demoted his rank from three to five, and he became a joke in the eyes of the court and the people. Therefore, he hid at home for several days and did not dare to come out. He really wanted to learn this lesson.
"That's why we commoners shouldn't go to that kind of place!”Prime Minister Zhao patted Lord Xu's shoulder and reminded him.
"I regret it too! Forget it, forget it, let's not mention it! Forget it!" Lord Xu waved his hand and said.
"Later, I will go with Lord Xu to meet this princess from the Northern Liao Dynasty.”Prime Minister Zhao said.
Lord Xu nodded in agreement. Then, the two of them continued to move forward.
The distance was getting closer and closer.
Lord Xu suddenly stopped and looked at the group of people walking over.
"What now? "Lord Xu," Prime Minister Zhao asked.
Lord Xu looked at Furong, who was walking in front of him, and was instantly excited. Was he seeing things? She actually appeared in front of him.
" That woman?" Lord Xu raised his hand and pointed at Furong, who was walking over. He was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Seeing Lord Xu's strange reaction, Prime Minister Zhao followed his gaze and saw Furong and the others. He suddenly felt a little unfamiliar with Furong, but when he saw her beautiful face, Prime Minister Zhao guessed that she should be a princess from the Northern Liao Dynasty.
Furong had already seen two people there. Judging from their official robes, she knew they were officials, but she didn't know who Lord Xu was.
It was not until the palace maids behind them suddenly stopped and bowed to Prime Minister Zhao and the others that Furong clumsily followed suit.
When she looked up, Furong met Lord Xu's eyes. In an instant, she seemed to be frightened and took a step back.
"It really is you, wretched girl!" Lord Xu thought that he had seen wrongly, but when he looked at that beautiful face, he felt that he could not have seen wrongly.
"I was just talking about you, wretched girl. I didn't expect you to be so cunning as to come to the Imperial Palace!”Lord Xu went forward to grab Lotus, but Lotus had already been frightened and hid behind the palace maid.
She was indeed shocked. How did she meet him? How should she deal with him? Fleur was tapping her fingers uneasily.
"Lord Xu." Prime Minister Zhao stepped forward to stop him. He felt that Lord Xu was acting strangely today.
"It's this woman! Someone come!" Lord Xu shouted," Arrest this woman!”
Lord Xu's voice immediately called over the patrolling guards nearby.
"Lord Xu, what is this!" Prime Minister Zhao asked.
On the other hand, several palace maids on Furong's side had already panicked and were at a loss. Furong wanted to sneak away, but a group of guards ran behind her.
"Prime Minister Zhao, it was this woman who stabbed me back then.”Lord Xu said. Then, he looked at the guards behind him and ordered," What are you waiting for? Arrest her."”
No one dared to move, and no one stepped forward. Everyone looked troubled.
Prime Minister Zhao held his head and tugged at the restless Lord Xu. He whispered," Lord Xu, the woman you mentioned should be the princess of Bei Liao."”
" What?" Lord Xu opened his mouth in surprise. His mouth was wide enough to fit two eggs.
Hiding in the back, Furong suddenly remembered that she was a princess now. She was a princess. Who would dare to take her!
As she thought about it, the aura of a princess came. Fleur coughed and straightened her dignity. Then, she turned around and walked over with a smile on her face.
Fleur saluted again.”
Prime Minister Zhao looked at her and asked," You must be Princess Furong!”
"That's right." Fleur replied with her head slightly lowered.
Lord Xu rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"There was a misunderstanding just now. I apologize to the princess on behalf of Lord Xu.”Prime Minister Zhao was still the most reasonable one.
"Milord, there's no need to be so polite.”said Fleur kindly.
" She..." Lord Xu stammered, unable to say a word. In the end, Prime Minister Zhao signaled him to shut up.
The guards who rushed over had already been dismissed. It was a senseless farce.
"Princess is going to see the emperor, right? Then this old man won't delay princess 'time.”Prime Minister Zhao said, deliberately stepping aside to make way.
Fleur bowed slightly to express her thanks, then left in a hurry.
Watching Furong leave, Lord Xu, who was forced to remain silent, could not help but say," How could it be Princess Furong? I would recognize that woman even if she turned into ashes."”
"There are many similar people in the world. Lord Xu, don't be so reckless next time.”Prime Minister Zhao glanced at him and left.
“……”
The sunlight shone on the corridor, warm and bright.
Luo Xi was dressed in a peach-colored palace maid's uniform as she walked in the winding corridor. Her black hair was tied to the front two sides, and there was only a golden buyao on her head. Compared to the other palace maids, Luo Xi was unique.
The sound of a cup falling to the ground came from the room. Luo Xi, who was walking over, heard it. She rushed in anxiously without even knocking on the door. Sure enough, there was a broken ceramic cup on the ground.
Li Zhan was sitting in front of his desk. The books on the table were scattered all over the ground. His pale expression was in pain as he covered his head. It seemed that the pain was unbearable, and there were some beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Your Highness!" Luo Xi exclaimed and ran over. Seeing Li Zhan like this, she was completely at a loss and only knew how to be anxious.
"It'll be fine in a while!" Li Zhan opened his mouth and said it with great difficulty. He did not want her to worry.
"Is it acting up? Where's the medicine? I'll get it!”Luo Xi panicked and finally remembered the medicine.
"Don't go!" Li Zhan grabbed her wrist to stop her.
"Your Highness?" Luo Xi didn't understand.
"Just a while, just a while!" Li Zhan's tone wasn't good, and he didn't continue what he said.
Luo Xi looked at him with a worried expression. His Highness said that it wouldn't be good for a while. He couldn't bear it.
She held his hand in her palm and realized that his body was very hot. What should she do?
At this moment, Li Zhan was in extreme pain. It was as if there were thousands of ants gnawing at his nerves in his brain. This was the result of stopping the medicine. No matter how hard he tried, it was useless.
"I'll call the imperial physician!" Luo Xi said.
"Don't go, you can't go!" When he heard that Luo Xi wanted to call the imperial physician, Li Zhan's reaction became even more intense. He pulled her tightly, causing her skin to hurt.
"Then what should we do?" Luo Xi suddenly lost control and cried out. Her eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't do this or that. Did he want her to watch him die of pain?
Li Zhan's pale face looked up at her. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he smiled. Then, he gently pulled her over, wrapped his arms around her waist, and rested his head on her stomach.
Luo Xi didn't even have time to react.
"It's okay. Don't tell anyone about what happened today.”Li Zhan said lightly. He didn't want this matter to reach that person's ears.
Ro Xi nodded and tried her best to keep calm by sniffing. She could not call the imperial physician, absolutely not. Once the imperial physician found out, His Highness would not be able to escape.
