concubines

Chapter 289 Sleeping
Miao Li didn't have the same reaction as Xiao Hong, and instinctively felt that Feng Meiren would not do that.

If she is really stupid, she has always been honest.If she pretended to be stupid and put medicine in the meal, she would still be really stupid.She is not the only one who eats rice, Zhou Shuxuan also eats it, she will never poison Zhou Shuxuan no matter what.

Feng Meiren was on the way to her palace now, with a smile on her face.Today is a good opportunity, God seems to be helping her, the emperor does not eat lunch but dinner.

Just in time to see the emperor going to Qingquan Palace from a distance, Feng Meiren avoided him and watched him until his back disappeared.

Xiaohong was still worried, she stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this servant thinks it's time to go and have a look. She must be cautious. If she really does something, she may not be able to deal with it."

This is not a big deal, Miao Li has always been used to the servants, so she said: "Go if you want, take a look and feel relieved."

Mammy Xi glanced outside and said, "Your Majesty, it's too late, the emperor has already arrived."

Miao Li stood up and said, "That's how it is, if we die, we die together, anyway, I'm not the only one who dies."

It's New Year's Eve and said these unlucky words, Mammy Xi helped her to pooh.Zhou Shuxuan just entered the door and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

Miao Li saluted and said: "It's nothing, just talking. The emperor has come, let's have dinner."

Zhou Shuxuan looked around the room, but he didn't see any messy people. Miao Li took his words to heart and felt a little better.

Zhou Shuxuan sat down casually and said, "I'm really hungry, Mommy, what do you want to eat today?"

Mammy Xi smiled and set the bowls and chopsticks. Seeing him so relaxed and comfortable, she remembered that when he was young, what he cared about most when he came back from school was what to eat.

"The empress said that her appetite was not very good, so she made some appetizing dishes and some porridge."

Zhou Shuxuan was not picky, and said cheerfully: "Light food is good, and you should eat something light at night."

Mother Xi served him a bowl of porridge, and Miao Li watched the eunuch test the poison with a silver needle, and there was no change when it was taken out, so it should be fine.

Zhou Shuxuan noticed her eyes, and he also had some thoughts in his heart, what was she worried about?Could it be that he was wondering if he would be seen if he was poisoned?Jie Bizhi knows some strange things, I don't know how much he taught her.

Zhou Shuxuan took a sip of the porridge without hesitation, forget it, if she really wanted to poison her, she could do it, and he would admit that she died at her hands.Looking up at Miaoli again, she also drank a spoonful.I feel more at ease, and I don't feel wronged even if I die, at least they are together after death.

There was not much to do at night, so Zhou Shuxuan ate slowly, and sat for a while after eating.Although no one talked to him, he was happy to just sit there.It's like going home here, and he likes to stay a little longer.

Miao Li didn't want to stay with him, so she went back to her room after dinner.Carved a few knives and said to Xiaohong: "I feel a little dry, go and pour some tea in."

Xiaohong quickly came in with a pot of warm tea. Miaoli drank a few cups and didn't feel thirst quenched, so she said to Xiaohong, "I'm still thirsty. I want to drink something cool. Go see if there is any cold tea."

"I can't fall asleep after drinking too much tea at night, so I should go and see if there is any water."

"Alright, let's go." Drink whatever you want.

Miao Li lowered her head and continued to carve the things in her hands, only to feel more and more thirsty, and her body seemed to be a little hot.With a strange reaction, Miao Li stretched out her hand to check the temperature on her forehead, she didn't have a fever, she didn't seem to be sick.

Gradually, the scene in front of her eyes became a little blurred, and her head seemed to have no way to think. Miao Li put down the carving knife, thinking about going to bed.

Before I got to the bed, I saw the door opened, and it seemed that a person came in outside, who looked like Xiaohong but was taller than Xiaohong.Miao Li couldn't see clearly, so she asked tentatively, "Is the water back?"

Without answering, Miao Li thought she hadn't found it. It's cold now and the water is warmed with charcoal. It's not so easy to find cold water to drink.So he said again: "Then go and have a look later, let it cool down. I'm a little dizzy now, and I want to sleep for a while. If I don't call later, don't call me to get up and drink water."

Miao Li walked towards the bed in a daze, seeing her unsteady footsteps, the other party came forward to help her.

Miao Li got to the bed, fell down on the bed without standing still, pulled the other party's sleeve, and accidentally pulled him down, and both of them rolled onto the bed.

Miao Li smiled silly and said, "You're such a clingy girl, do you want to sleep with me again? You haven't scolded He Yuan enough this afternoon, so you want to continue whispering to me?"

The other party still didn't answer, but fell on the bed and did not move.

"Okay, okay, you sleep with me today, anyway, it's warmer for the two of you to sleep together. But let's say it first, don't hug me. Every time I say it's cold and hug me, and I don't want you to take the quilt , you did it on purpose."

After finishing speaking, he took off the quilt and covered the two of them.

outside the house.

Xiaohong really couldn't find cold water outside, so she poured a cup of hot water outside to let it cool down before bringing it to her. When she reached the door, she saw Mammy Xi standing outside with a strange expression.

Holding the water, Xiaohong asked, "What's the matter, why doesn't Mammy go in?" After asking, she wanted to open the door and go in.But Xi Mammy stopped her and shook her head at her.

Xiaohong was even more puzzled, and asked: "Is the lady asleep? Impossible, just now she was clamoring to drink water, why did she fall asleep. She should not have fallen asleep yet, so I asked her to get up and drink water."

Mother Xi still seemed hesitant to speak, and held back for a long time before she said, "I'm probably not asleep yet, but the emperor is inside."

"Why did the emperor go in? He clearly knows that the empress doesn't like him." Xiaohong still wanted to go in, "It will be fine if he is inside, and he can't stop the empress from drinking water."

The relationship between the two of them is not doing something they shouldn't do.

The expression on Mammy Xi's face was very meaningful, Xiao Hong finally sensed the problem, took a breath, and asked in great surprise: "They are..."

Mammy Xi nodded, pointed inside and said, "It should be."

Xiao Hong was suddenly enraged, holding the cup and looking like she was about to break in, but Mammy Xi hurriedly grabbed her and pulled her away, asking, "What are you doing?"

"Your Majesty definitely didn't do it voluntarily. The Emperor must have forced her. I'm going to save her."

Mother Xi didn't know what to say for a moment, and her loyal guardian was a bit too much.And the people inside are still the emperor, and they can't do anything even if they are really persecuted.Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be more than just losing my head.

Mother Xi explained: "It doesn't sound like the emperor forced me, otherwise I would have gone in."

Xiaohong's face was full of doubts, and she asked her with her eyes if it was true or not?Mother Xi pointed to the room and said, "If you don't believe me, go and listen for yourself."

Xiaohong put her ear to the door with half-belief, feeling that her behavior was a bit strange, hearing about the corner was really...

But after listening to it for a while, Xiaohong believed what Mammy Xi said, and the voice inside really didn't seem forced.Hearing that she was blushing, Xiao Hong touched her face and stepped back a little, and drank the glass of cold water by herself.

Mother Xi's eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, and she asked Xiaohong, "How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"No, no, it's just... why did your mother suddenly agree? Don't you think there is something wrong with it?" Xiaohong sat on the side weakly, holding her head, but she couldn't figure it out.

It is impossible for Miao Li to change her attitude suddenly, everything was normal when eating, Miao Li still has the usual attitude towards Zhou Shuxuan, there is no tendency to reconcile with him at all, really there is no sign of it.And if Miao Li really wanted to forgive, it was impossible not to tell her.

How to sleep together so well, and still be willing to do those things, without drinking is really strange.

Mother Xi said: "Not necessarily, what if the empress wants a child? So... that's it."

Mother Xi doesn't care what the reason is, as long as they reconcile, it's good.If there is no reconciliation, I hope that Miaoli can conceive another child tonight. It doesn't matter if there is a child. For the sake of the child, Miaoli will not be too indifferent to Zhou Shuxuan, let alone treat him like an enemy.

Xiaohong shook her head resolutely, "No, if I'm angry, I won't let anyone touch me. Not to mention the empress, her temper is sometimes more stubborn than mine, there must be something wrong inside."

Mother Xi didn't want her to think too much, so she diverted her attention, "What to do with so many thoughts, I only hope that the empress will have a child this time, so I won't feel uncomfortable."

There was hope in Xiao Hong's eyes, and it immediately dimmed again, saying: "I'm afraid it will not be that easy. After the last time, I asked the imperial doctor, and he said that it will not be easy for the empress to conceive in the future. Besides, she is so weak. If you give birth to a child, you might risk your own life, and it is dangerous for a woman to give birth."

Mother Xi suddenly wasn't so happy anymore, she stood up and said, "You stay here and watch, I'll go get some water, in case there's a cry from inside later."

Xiaohong nodded, still couldn't understand this matter, why did it suddenly get better?
The water that Mammy Xi prepared was of no use at all, and it hadn't stopped in it all night, and it was almost quiet at dawn.

Gao Fu stood outside all night, seeing that things were really lost, and it was time to go up.He wanted to call for someone but was stopped by Xiaohong and Ximao, "Elder-in-law, it's better to say that the emperor is not feeling well, so he won't go to court."

"How can this be done? Going to court is a major national event. Without the emperor's will, how can we say that it can be avoided?"

Mother Xi said: "Is there anything bigger than the emperor's heir? The emperor and the empress have had a hard time... If they wake up, they will be gentle for a while. It's not good for father-in-law to go in now. It's okay to make an exception once."

Gao Fu took a look into the room and felt that what she said made some sense.But I'm a little worried in my heart, I'm afraid it's not necessarily tenderness when I wake up.
