After a master of metaphysics severed ties with his family, the whole family was filled with regret!

Chapter 60 Luo Chujiu fell asleep while holding Consort Jiang.
"At that time, the Empress Dowager made me kneel as punishment for a whole hour. My stomach hurt a lot, and I even started bleeding. Before I fainted, I saw a golden light enter my lower abdomen, and the pain stopped immediately. I remembered that you had given me a talisman. When I opened the brocade pouch, the talisman was gone. I guess it left to protect the child in my womb."

Consort Jiang whispered the situation to Luo Chujiu. Luo Chujiu was stunned and almost forgot that she had given her cousin Kui Kui a talisman!

Seeing that Luo Chujiu was stunned, Consort Jiang continued:
"If it weren't for the talisman you gave me, my unborn child might have really been in grave danger. Thank you, Xiao Jiu."

“Cousin Kui Kui, there’s no need for thanks between us. You and your child are very fortunate. The talisman was just an auxiliary tool.”

Luo Chujiu was now extremely grateful that she had given Consort Jiang a talisman, which helped her avert this disaster.

Consort Jiang understood Luo Chujiu's meaning and didn't say anything more. The two smiled at each other, and everything was understood without words.

When Xiao Beiming and Xiao Jinglin arrived at Luoheng Palace to visit Consort Jiang, they saw Luo Chujiu and Consort Jiang lying on the bed, fast asleep.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, Prince Xiao."

Caiwei hurriedly paid her respects, never expecting that they would see Consort Jiang and Miss Luo in such a state.

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't disturb the Imperial Concubine and Miss Luo."

"Yes," Caiwei replied softly, and then she saw His Majesty and Prince Xiao walk out together and sit down at the stone table in the courtyard.

"I never expected to see the two of them sleeping together when I came to Luoheng Palace."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Beiming smiled and shook his head, "I didn't expect this either. I originally thought I would be the first person to sleep with Xiao Jiu, but Consort Jiang beat me to it."

"Haha, you like Miss Luo that much?"

"Doesn't His Majesty also like Consort Jiang just as much?" Xiao Beiming asked instead of answering.

The same feelings His Majesty has for Consort Jiang are the same feelings he has for Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jinglin laughed out loud, and then he and Xiao Beiming sat in the courtyard enjoying tea, waiting for the two people inside the house to wake up.

Luo Chujiu took a nap while holding her sweet and soft cousin, feeling refreshed. She stretched and then got out of bed to get some fresh air.

As soon as he went outside, he saw Xiao Jinglin and Xiao Beiming sitting in the courtyard, and his eyes widened in surprise:

Why are you two sitting outside?

"His Majesty and I came to visit Consort Jiang, but we didn't expect you two to be sleeping so soundly. We didn't want to disturb you, so we'll wait outside with some tea for you to wake up."

When Xiao Beiming saw Luo Chujiu come out, he immediately stood up.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chujiu slowly walked to their side, bowed to Xiao Jinglin, and then sat down.

"Is Consort Jiang feeling any better?"

Xiao Jinglin looked at Luo Chujiu and asked.

"Aside from being sad, my cousin Kui Kui is doing well. She needs to rest and recuperate properly to prevent any further accidents from happening."

When Luo Chujiu said this, she stared straight at Xiao Jinglin, as if she were pointing at him.

Xiao Jinglin naturally understood the deeper meaning behind Luo Chujiu's words, and smiled guiltily:
"I know that Consort Jiang will no longer be in danger, Miss Luo, please rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chujiu let out a muffled groan and said nothing more.

A short while later, Caiwei came out to report:
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has awakened and wishes to see you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinglin immediately stood up and strode inside, leaving Xiao Beiming and Luo Chujiu outside.

Xiao Beiming looked at her and asked:
"Should we leave the palace? Or go find the Imperial Preceptor?" "Let's go to Fourth Senior Brother's place. I haven't seen him for several days."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Beiming nodded, and then he and Luo Chujiu went to the Imperial Preceptor's Hall.

Nalan Qingyin, with her keen hearing, heard Luo Chujiu and Xiao Beiming talking, so she stopped meditating, stood up, poured a cup of tea, and welcomed their arrival.

"Fourth Senior Brother, did you just finish meditating?"

As soon as Luo Chujiu saw Nalan Qingyin, she guessed that he had finished his meditation.

"I stopped when I heard your voice. How come you have time to come to the palace to see me? Weren't you out enjoying yourselves at the country estate?"

Nalan Qingyin's words were dripping with sarcasm. Luo Chujiu immediately noticed this and couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"If Fourth Senior Brother also wants to go out and have fun, I'll take you next time. Just the two of us, without the Prince, how about that?"

"Hmph, are you really willing to not take him?" Nalan Qingyin narrowed her eyes, looking at Luo Chujiu, not allowing her to lie and deceive her.

"Of course, I never lie to my fourth senior brother. In my heart, my fourth senior brother is more important than the prince."

Luo Chujiu didn't care whether Xiao Beiming was still present; she was just telling the truth.

Xiao Beiming only accompanied Luo Chujiu to see the Imperial Advisor, but unexpectedly, Luo Chujiu hurt him deeply.

He could only manage a wry smile and couldn't say much, after all, he and she had only known each other for less than two months, how could that compare to a relationship of more than ten years?

Xiao Beiming was aware of this.

Nalan Qingyin felt a little relieved after hearing Luo Chujiu's words.

"You've already visited Consort Jiang?"

Even though Nalan Qingyin didn't go out, she heard the discussions about Consort Jiang and the Empress Dowager.

In addition, given the close relationship between Luo Chujiu and Consort Jiang, if she knew that Consort Jiang almost miscarried, she would definitely go to visit her.

"Well, I just finished visiting Cousin Kui Kui, and since I haven't seen Fourth Senior Brother in a long time, I came to see him too. How have you been lately, Fourth Senior Brother? Have you encountered any trouble?"

"What trouble could I possibly encounter? It would be good enough if you didn't cause me any trouble. The imperial examination is in a few days, and I have to go to proctor it. You might not be able to find me." Nalan Qingyin informed Luo Chujiu of her schedule, so that she wouldn't come looking for her in vain.

"Is Fourth Senior Brother going to proctor the exam? It seems the Prince is also going to proctor the exam, so the two of you will have company and can take care of each other."

Luo Chujiu looked at the two of them with a smile and said.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Qingyin's expression immediately changed, and she looked at Xiao Beiming:
"Oh? So Your Highness is also going to proctor the exam?"

"Yes. I might be taking the same exam as the Imperial Advisor."

Xiao Beiming felt nervous as soon as he saw the Imperial Advisor's gaze. Could it be that the Imperial Advisor was plotting something against him? Why did the Imperial Advisor's eyes look so frightening?
"Really? Then it's best not to do it at the same event."

Nalan Qingyin said calmly, "If we were to actually proctor the exam together, I couldn't guarantee I wouldn't make a move on the man who abducted my junior sister!"

Xiao Beiming understood Nalan Qingyin's subtext and immediately fell silent.

Only Luo Chujiu was clueless, unaware of the cryptic conversation between the two of them.

"By the way, Fourth Senior Brother, I have a little pet, a tiger cub, but I haven't named it yet. Why don't you name it?"

Luo Chujiu felt that she couldn't keep calling it "little tiger cub" all the time.
