Chapter 317 Abnormality
The Queen Mother's bedroom.
After hearing the emperor's words, Jiang Xing pretended to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
He winked at the Empress Dowager and quickly saluted the Emperor. "Your Majesty, I am truly filial. I confess my deepest regrets! I haven't been able to see Mother properly in all these days, and I haven't visited her much. I feel deeply guilty. Now that she's ill, I've rarely been in the capital for so many years. I truly should show my filial piety."
"How about this? I've already established my own residence, and my mother is ill. Why not let her accompany me out of the palace? She's been living in the inner palace for so many years, firstly, she hasn't seen the scenery outside the palace. Secondly, I can take this opportunity to show my filial piety."
After hearing what Jiang Xing said, Lu Xuan finally felt a little relieved.
Letting the Queen Mother leave the palace showed that he also sensed something unusual.
When the Queen Mother heard Jiang Xing's words, she clapped her hands with joy.
Very good, very good, let’s leave the palace!
"Nonsense!"
The emperor stood up suddenly, his brows furious, and the previous warmth was gone.
"What's your mother like now? All the imperial doctors in the palace are helpless, and you're still thinking of taking her out of the palace? How can those grassroots doctors outside the palace be compared with those in the palace?!"
Jiang Xing curled his lips. "There are still many famous doctors in the capital, such as the genius doctor Cui, who is well-known in the capital for curing many incurable diseases. I think he may have some way to treat my mother's illness..."
"How can ordinary people be the same as the Queen Mother of Daliang?!"
The emperor roared, and he glanced at Jiang Xing unhappily, his eyes filled with alienation.
"How about this, Yun Ce, since you want to fulfill your filial duty, why don't you stay in the palace today? I will make an exception this time and let you stay in the Cining Palace. When the queen mother is better, you can leave the palace."
The voice was cold and threatening, which made Lu Xuan shudder.
The emperor did not allow the prince to take the empress dowager away. Jiang Xing just said it tentatively, and the emperor asked him to stay in the palace.
There must be something fishy going on here!
Lu Xuan's palms were sweaty.
She was waiting for the Queen Mother's reaction.
If there is any discrepancy in the palace, the Queen Mother will definitely object.
Unexpectedly, just as she had this thought, she heard the Queen Mother's voice coming from outside.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo..."
The voice was disorganized, but just from the excitement, it was clear that he was expressing rejection.
Jiang Xing glanced sideways at the Queen Mother.
At this moment, he was completely certain that there was something wrong with his mother!
What did she know?
Why did he keep kicking me out of the palace?
From the Eastern Palace to the Cining Palace, he certainly knew that there was something unusual in the imperial palace.
The danger has not yet come, but the warning has already been learned.
Looking at the empress dowager's eager eyes that were almost pleading, Jiang Xing confronted the emperor for a moment and quickly made a decision.
"Royal brother, that's all."
Now I am in the light and the enemy is in the dark.
It is indeed not advisable to jump into a fire pit when you are looking at it.
"If my brother breaks the rules of the imperial palace for me, wouldn't I be labeled a heretic by those imperial censors? Forget it. I'll come visit my mother tomorrow."
The secret game between the two finally ended with Jiang Xing's compromise.
Hearing Jiang Xing say this, the emperor thought he would leave the palace immediately.
Unexpectedly, he yelled outside, "My dear doctors, the Queen Mother has woken up. What are you still standing there for? You have to think of a solution!"
When more than a dozen imperial doctors heard Jiang Xing's words, they rushed inside.
The emperor looked at the people who had been kneeling outside and gave Jiang Xing a meaningful look.
These imperial doctors didn’t even see the Queen Mother?
Then Yun Ce and the Queen Mother...
"Everyone, the Queen Mother's inexplicable illness is truly strange. This prince is worried and must get an answer today before leaving the palace. Everyone, get started. Take the Queen Mother's pulse and examine her. After we have discussed it, give me a final decision."
"Yes!"
The imperial doctors had already been frightened by Jiang Xing, so they dared not utter a word. They just answered in unison and then lined up to see the empress dowager.
Jiang Xing took a breath and sat aside waiting quietly.
A Xuan is still inside, how can he leave the palace alone?
The only way now is to delay until the emperor has to leave first, so that he has the opportunity to take Axuan away.
The emperor was a little confused about why this man was so stubborn. He had been told to let him go, so why did he insist on letting the imperial physicians examine him one by one?
After sitting with Jiang Xing for a while, the emperor lost his patience when he saw that there were still a dozen imperial doctors waiting.
He looked at He Yuanguang and said, "Forget it. You stay here to see the results of the imperial doctors. I still have government affairs to deal with, so I will return to the palace first!"
"Congratulations to the emperor."
When the sky was covered with sunset glow, Jiang Xing finally took Lu Xuan out of the palace.
Lu Xuan was still terrified. "It's really too risky for you to do that. The Emperor obviously doesn't want us to be alone with the Queen Mother. If he doesn't leave, are you going to wait there forever?"
Jiang Xing put his arm around her shoulders and said, "That's better than leaving you alone in the Cining Palace."
Lu Xuan's exhaustion today was only fully revealed at this moment.
She snuggled softly in his arms and scratched his palm: "I have a way to escape. I also have the invisibility talisman."
Jiang Xing was instantly furious. "Using a spell! Princess Jin, do you want to see how weak your face is now?"
Although the words were spoken with anger, Lu Xuan felt a warmth flowing through his heart.
"Today, Song Chuchu wanted to take over my body. Jiang Yuanfeng was in the palace and used the eight characters of Song Chuchu and me to cast a curse, so she had the opportunity to succeed. But today was too bizarre. It seems that this palace is hiding some shocking secret specifically for us two."
Although she was weak, her mind was clear.
Only by finding the answer behind today can we protect the prince and ourselves.
Only then can their feelings take root.
And with the bloodline that may appear at an unknown time, her and the prince's child can be born truly and safely.
"Let's not talk about Song Chuchu secretly harming me, even the corridor in the East Palace, the Crown Prince's fainting, and the Queen Mother's inability to speak. Each of these is a major event, and they are inextricably linked."
"Including the Queen Mother's reaction, your conversation with the Emperor, and every step the Emperor took after going to the Cining Palace, all seem to have a deeper meaning..."
Jiang Xing rubbed her shoulders for a few times, took a deep breath, and seemed a little tired.
"Ah Xuan, don't overthink it. Ever since yesterday in the East Palace, nothing has gone as we expected. Danger is getting closer and closer to us. So, cherish the few remaining moments of peace and quiet..."
Lu Xuan nodded. "I'll have to bring Sang Luo and Nanny Yu with me when I go to the palace tomorrow. If I run into Jiang Yuanfeng, Nanny Yu will be able to recognize him."
Jiang Xing did not answer, but just looked at his pale little face with heartache, and secretly made a decision in his heart that he must protect her well.
Along the way, the two people snuggled up to each other in the carriage, and fatigue and tiredness made them stop talking.
……
The next day.
Jiang Xing originally planned to go into the palace alone after breakfast.
Ah Xuan is so weak, and the palace is so dangerous, I can't let her take risks with me.
Unexpectedly, the carriage encountered trouble as soon as it left the palace gate.
A large carriage was blocking the way in front of him.
"Your Majesty, long time no see."
Ji Bozhou stuck his head out of the carriage.
In just a few days, he no longer looked listless and ghost-like as he did the last time he came to the palace to discuss terms with Lu Xuan. Instead, his eyes were full of energy.
Although he no longer looks like the elegant young man he once was, it is obvious that his energy and spirit have begun to recover.
Jiang Xing raised his eyes with some doubt, his eyes carrying some hostility. "Master Ji, it's only been a few days. I don't know when Master Ji would have stopped by my Nanxunfang. You came to beg for mercy on your Ji Mansion a few days ago, and now you're rushing to show up again. Are you afraid that I've forgotten your face and am afraid that I'll be soft-hearted?"
Ji Bozhou chuckled softly and bowed slightly, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint Your Highness. I'm no longer Master Ji. Yesterday, the Emperor conferred upon me the title of Marquis of Yongping. If Your Highness wants to take action again, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
