Chapter 156
"Greetings to the emperor." Concubine Qiong stood up and saluted.

"Stay flat." Mu Qingyuan said calmly, and took the upper seat.

Compared to the noble concubine who still visits occasionally, here at Qixia Palace, he can't come once a month.

He looked around at the layout of the room, and found that the furnishings were still very simple, the furniture was made of cheap wood, and the cushions and furnishings were all old and new.

However, he knew that this was just an illusion.

It is said that a coral tree that the servants pay tribute to Concubine Qiong is worth 1 taels of silver.

"Your Majesty is here, do you need a concubine for something?"

Mu Qingyuan looked at her expression, it was as calm as water, only a trace of uneasiness seemed to flash across her eyes.

"It's nothing. I heard that you are sick. Come and have a look."

"The emperor of labor is visiting, and the concubine is fine."

"It's fine as long as it's nothing serious. I heard people say that people in Qixia Palace stay behind closed doors, so I thought it was a big deal." Mu Qingyuan looked around, "Although frugality is advocated in the palace, but the layout here is so simple, it's a shame. Don't be too harsh."

Concubine Qiong stood up, and said a few words in a submissive manner.

Mu Qingyuan left some medicinal materials and left Qixia Palace.

The little eunuch just now came over to answer Eunuch Gao.

After listening to Eunuch Gao's words, Mu Qingyuan smiled slightly: "Sure enough, I'm seeing him."

"How did the emperor guess it? The servant thought..."

"Concubine Qiong has been in the harem all these years, she has put her hand under your nose, what do you think? Why?"

"The slave also knows... but firstly, Concubine Qiong only collects some money, and secondly, after all..."

"I know your difficulties." Mu Qingyuan waved his hand slightly, "Let's let them go again."

"Your Majesty, this servant would like to ask for a decree."

"Go ahead."

"If the servant's investigation is related to Concubine Qiong, should we continue to investigate?"

"If it's related to her, you should report it truthfully."

Eunuch Gao nodded and stopped talking.

When Mu Qingyuan arrived at Mingxi Palace, it was already getting dark, the sunset was spreading in the western sky, and a faint smoke from cooking rose into the sky.

There is actually a kind of idyllic charm.

The door of Mingxi Palace was open, and Mu Qingyuan asked all the eunuchs who followed him to go back first, leaving only Gao Yi and the young eunuch An Nian.

"The slave is going to ask Jiang Guiren to come out to pick him up?" Eunuch Gao asked tentatively.

Mu Qingyuan shook his head: "What are you picking up? I'll come and see Mrs. Jiang Gui. If she's okay, I'll leave."

They stepped into the palace gate, the doors and windows outside the house were closed, and it looked like no one lived there, and when they walked inside, there was smoke and fire.

A court lady came out from a small door on one side, holding a wooden plate with a covered bowl and a spoon in her hand, which seemed to be some kind of food.

She carefully looked at the things in her hands, not noticing that there were other people in the yard at all, and walked forward on her own.

"Your Majesty, this is the court lady serving Mr. Jiang, her name is Lan Xin." Eunuch Gao introduced.

"Go and call her over." Mu Qingyuan ordered.

Eunuch Gao walked over with a smile, and suddenly called out beside Lan Xin: "Miss Lan Xin!"

Lan Xin was concentrating on walking forward, when she was suddenly stopped, she was startled.

She frowned and was about to explode, when she suddenly realized that the person calling her back was the Eunuch Gao who was with the emperor whom she had seen before.

"Eunuch Gao, why are you here?" Lan Xin was both surprised and delighted, "Did the emperor ask you to see our mother's illness?"

Eunuch Gao coughed: "It's not that I let you, but the emperor came in person."

"Ah?" Lan Xin turned her head, and she saw Mu Qingyuan standing not far away with a young eunuch, and before Eunuch Gao could speak, she came over with a plate.

"Your majesty, my maidservant is called Lan Xin, and she is the court lady serving Mrs. Jiang. I beg the emperor to visit our empress. She is injured and has a fever. She is so pitiful." As she spoke, Lan Xin's eyes turned red, and her back He turned around, but looked at Mu Qingyuan's reaction from the corner of his eye.

Mu Qingyuan really listened to it, and his expression was a little dignified.

"What did Doctor Zhang say?" He asked with concern.

"Doctor Zhang said that the empress should rest more, but the empress can't eat and sleep well. This is the porridge made by Sister Fengling. He said that at least let the empress eat some. The servant girl is about to bring it to the empress."

"Then let's go together, I will take a look at Mr. Jiang Gui."

Lan Xin was very happy, just now she deliberately sold Jiang Yu's misfortune, the emperor really started to worry.

They walked into Jiang Yu's room together, Lan Xin was about to pick up the porridge bowl, Mu Qingyuan waved her hand, beckoning him to come by himself.

Lan Xin was a little flustered, is the emperor going to send it in himself?

Sure enough, Mu Qingyuan said in a low voice: "You guys wait outside first, I'll go in and have a look at Mrs. Jiang."

"Your Majesty—" Before Lan Xin could say a word, Eunuch Gao tugged at her sleeve.

"Miss Lan Xin, you are tired too, sit down first." Eunuch Gao let her sit down first instead of the other.

Lan Xin watched Mu Qingyuan carry the porridge bowl into the inner room, but she just closed her eyes and pretended not to know.

Mu Qingyuan pushed the door open and went in, facing a screen, but heard someone inside saying lazily: "Lan Xin, did you bring sweet porridge? I don't eat the one without red dates and honey."

Mu Qingyuan raised his brows, he recognized Jiang Yu's voice, but it sounded quite energetic, not as ill as Lan Xin said just now.

"Hurry up and bring it in, are you going to starve me to death?"

This time the tone was a little more coquettish.

Mu Qingyuan felt fresh, and walked around the screen with a bowl, only to find that Jiang Yu was not as sick as she thought, lying crookedly on the bed, but leaning on the soft couch by the window, eating sliced ​​meat with a stick. Good Melon, while solving the Nine Links.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, she didn't raise her head: "Don't dawdle, bring the porridge and play with me for a while, here, I can't solve it."

Mu Qingyuan walked over, put the porridge bowl away, and closed half of the window near her.

"Your fever has just subsided. Sitting in this vent, do you want to burn it again?" He said displeased.

When Jiang Yu heard that it was not Lan Xin's voice, she raised her head strangely, but she was startled.

As the sky was getting dark, she squinted her eyes, trying hard to identify whether the person in front of her was really Mu Qingyuan.

"Why, I haven't seen you for a few days, and Jiang Guiren doesn't recognize me anymore?" Mu Qingyuan said with a light smile, "Sure enough, I haven't seen you for a day, like three autumns."

Jiang Yu hurriedly put down the Jiu Lianhuan in her hand, wondering why this Mu Qingyuan came to Mingxi Palace today, and broke into her bedroom without saying hello.

She was about to get off the soft couch to salute, but was stopped by Mu Qingyuan: "Your Majesty Jiang, don't be too polite, I'll come and see how your illness is doing."

He approached the soft couch and actually sat down on the side of the couch.

"Where is Jiang Guiren's injury? Can you show me?" He asked softly.
