The favorite concubine of the system is in power

Chapter 322

It was already dark.

After Cheng Shuang closed the window and turned on hot water, Xiao Wanwan asked, "Didn't the Hall of Mental Cultivation send you a message?"

Cheng Shuang said: "I haven't received the news yet, but since Eunuch Li never said that the emperor canceled his decision, the emperor must still come to Yongxiu Palace tonight, but it will be later."

Xiao Wanwan put her hands into the copper basin, and Cheng Shuang wiped them carefully for her.

"I'm going to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and you will prepare the food box in a while."

Cheng Shuang was a little surprised, and couldn't help casting a glance at Xiao Wanwan.

The empress has lost her anger, she is no longer jealous, and plans to reconcile with the emperor?
...It can't be called reconciliation, after all, this is just a unilateral cold war between the empress.

Cheng Shuang took out the cloak from the closet, tied it on for Xiao Wanwan, and went out with the palace lantern in one hand and the food box in the other.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is a little far away from Yongxiu Palace. Originally, Cheng Shuang planned to use a sedan chair, but Xiao Wanwan refused: "It's just an activity. It's not good for children to be bored in the palace all day."

Xiao Wanwan's footsteps gradually slowed down, Cheng Shuang followed her gaze and looked over, and Jingning Palace stood beside her.

The originally brilliant and well-lit palace is now completely dark, and there are no palace people on duty in front of the gate. It is desolate and dilapidated, which makes people sigh.

Cheng Shuang called out: "Your Majesty."

Xiao Wanwan stared at the plaque hanging above it for a while, then asked softly: "Are there no guards here?"

"The guards should be guarding inside. The servants heard," Cheng Shuang lowered his voice, "the doors and windows of the bedroom where the Empress Dowager lives are all sealed and can only be opened from the outside."

The system beep sounded again.

Xiao Wanwan nodded and said, "Let's go."

After walking a few steps, Xiao Wanwan stopped again. She frowned and asked, "Who is that?"

Cheng Shuang also saw the figure leaving in a hurry in the clothes of a servant: "Your Majesty, it's probably the little eunuch who came to take care of the Queen Mother."

"Are you here so late?"

Cheng Shuang didn't reply, and she also felt that something was wrong in her heart.

Eunuch Li was a little surprised when he saw Xiao Wanwan, he quickly went up to meet him: "Madam, the wind is so strong tonight, won't it make the emperor feel bad to come here?"

Xiao Wanwan smiled and said: "I haven't seen my father-in-law coming to pass the news, thinking that the emperor may have a lot of memorials to deal with tonight, and I'm already tired after reviewing, and Yongxiu Palace is not close to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so I took the initiative to come over , so that the emperor can take two steps less."

Eunuch Li laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth: "Your Majesty is very thoughtful, if the Emperor sees Your Majesty, I'm afraid he will be very happy."

Emperor Jiawen saw that Xiao Wanwan's heart was really tight, he quickly wrapped her in his arms, a charcoal basin was burned inside, the temperature was much higher than outside, he untied his cloak, and asked warmly: "Why are you here? "

"I think the emperor will come here naturally."

Such a straightforward expression of heart caught Emperor Jiawen a little unprepared, and even the tips of his ears turned red. He touched his nose with his fingers uncomfortably, and cleared his throat: "I still have dozens of memorials to read, you If you are tired, go to the inner hall to rest."

Xiao Wanwan stared blankly at a certain point on the table in a daze, even her reaction was half a beat slow, and it took a while before she replied slowly: "The concubine is not tired."

Emperor Jiawen asked: "Why are some people absent-minded? Did they catch cold outside? Li Mian, go and prepare some hot water."

Li Mian stepped back, and Cheng Shuang followed suit.

"You have something on your mind." Emperor Jiawen said.
