Concubine De was really unjust. She had been in the palace for many years, how could she be so stupid as to harm others openly? The stupid thing was Luo Yiran, she actually took matters into her own hands.
But Concubine De usually does many evil things, but now she shows her flaws, and everyone is shooting at her openly and covertly.
Xiao Chengyun's biological mother is Concubine Lu. Concubine Lu and Emperor Ming grew up together as childhood sweethearts. It can be said that they were Emperor Ming's first love.
Emperor Ming loved her deeply, and she gave birth to three sons for him. Unfortunately, the first two died inexplicably, and she suffered a massive hemorrhage when giving birth to Xiao Chengyun.
Therefore, Emperor Ming loved and hated Xiao Chengyun, and for the sake of his safety, he kept him outside the palace until he was twelve years old.
The corner of Concubine De's mouth sank, and just when she was about to say something, she saw a cold light flash in Xiao Beichen's eyes, and said coldly: "Didn't you even hear that your father said that she would be thrown into the dungeon? If there is someone behind the scenes, we will know at the first trial. .”
Empress Zhen kept coughing for a long time, Xiao Beichen glanced at Concubine De aggressively, and then said: "Pass on the Imperial Physician!"
Luo Yiran saw that the guards were about to take her into the stinking, dark dungeon, and she suddenly had an idea and blurted out: "Spare my little girl, my second sister Luo Yunchu can detoxify and cure her disease."
Luo Yunchu sighed as if she was resigned to her fate. If she could choose, she really wouldn't want to be this idiot's second sister. She met Xiao Beichen's earnest eyes again and said, "How about I give it a try?"
Concubine De glanced at Luo Yunchu arrogantly, "Can this little girl's medical skills at such a young age be good? Besides, in this hall, who are you talking about "I, me, me" to? Besides, the Queen's birthday banquet Are you dressed too plainly? How disrespectful..."
"Ahem, shut up!" Empress Zhen likes plainness, and even her own son likes to wear plain colors today.
She saw Xiao Beichen's trusting eyes towards Luo Yunchu, and then said to her: "I trust you, come here! Cough cough cough..."
Concubine De wanted to say something, but when Emperor Ming nodded in agreement, she had no choice but to give up.
Emperor Ming's doting on Concubine De was nothing more than a royal concubine. Her facial features were somewhat similar to those of the late Concubine Lu, but her temperament was completely different.
Luo Yunchu obediently came to Empress Zhen, and before he could diagnose her pulse and treat her, Empress Zhen felt relieved a lot when she smelled the fresh lotus fragrance that hit her face.
Queen Zhen couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling refreshed and no longer coughing.
After Luo Yunchu checked her pulse, he said with determination, "As I expected, the Queen's cough was caused by Luo Yiran's pollen."
As she spoke, she took out an exquisite wooden box from her sleeves, which contained the patent medicines she had prepared in advance, "Twice a day, two pills at a time. You can take one pill now."
Xiao Touchen took the wooden box, took out a fat white pill and handed it to Queen Zhen.
Empress Zhen raised her head and took the medicine, and still held Luo Yunchu's hand, reluctant to let her go, "Good child, please sit next to Chen'er! I feel at ease as I stay close to you."
After struggling for a long time, Luo Yunchu couldn't help but feel hungry. She raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Beichen's table. After all, the prince's meal was much better than what they had on the table.
She nodded in agreement with a smile on her face and happily sat down next to Xiao Beichen.
Luo Yunchu didn't say much after sitting down, and concentrated on the food in front of him. Xiao Beichen smiled and shook his head, "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
At this time, Emperor Ming also smelled a wisp of fragrance that continued to spread. His mood began to brighten, and he smiled broadly, "Miss Luo Er is good at medical skills and has made up for it. Then let Miss Luo San go!"
Luo Yiran was not afraid. Instead, he was proud of his sudden idea. He blinked and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Luo Yunchu was tasting the delicious food when he saw Luo Yiran stood up to thank her and put down her jade chopsticks.
She put on a pretty face and turned the tide with just a few words, "When you return to the emperor, I am me, and Luo is still Luo Yiran. The reason why I devote myself to treating the empress is because she is Xiao Beichen's mother. "
He devoted himself to treating her, not because she was a noble mother of a country, but because she was Chen'er's mother. When these words came out, Empress Zhen felt even more at ease.
Xiao Beichen's long eyelashes trembled, and then his expression relaxed, and the smile returned to the corner of his mouth.
"Second sister, how can you be so cruel and refuse to save me until death?" Luo Yiran said with eyes filled with hatred.
Luo Yunchu spread his hands and said, "You are responsible for your own mistakes. When you asked the servant to push me off the cliff that day, why didn't you feel that you were cruel?"
Luo Yiran wanted to retort, but she couldn't explain why she was so ugly. After all, she had really done that thing, and if she really wanted to be investigated, it would be adding to the crime.
Seeing Luo Yiran's guilty look, everyone started talking.
"It's true that people are not judged by their appearance. How could such a fair and lovely girl be so evil-hearted that she pushed her own sister down the cliff?"
"Yes, who in Beiming doesn't know that the Queen is frail and has allergies, so she just dances. She wants to use pollen to attract butterflies. I don't know what bad intentions she has!"
"A concubine is also a daughter. Why doesn't Prime Minister Luo educate her well?"
Prime Minister Luo listened to everyone's words as if he was boiling oil, "I made a mistake. I taught my daughter poorly. I ask the emperor to punish me."
"Prime Minister Luo, you have merits and deeds. It is your fault that you have brought up Miss Luo Er so well." Emperor Ming's voice was magnetic, but the topic suddenly changed, "As for Miss Luo San, take her out and give her twenty more blows." Slabs!"
Luo Yiran struggled and cried, and finally looked at Xiao Beilin for help.
Xiao Beilin turned his head slightly and avoided her gaze.
Emperor Ming waved his hand, and Eunuch Liu immediately understood and respectfully presented the gift box in his hand to Queen Zhen.
"See if you like it. Don't let the episode just now ruin the Queen's interest."
Empress Zhen, who was sitting on the phoenix throne, opened the brocade box and found a pair of naive Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine Earrings. She was very satisfied and thanked her with a gentle smile.
After a while, a group of graceful and beautiful dancers filed in. The sound of strings and bamboos started again. They danced charmingly and enchantingly. The one in the middle was the fifth young lady of the General's Mansion.
Xiao Beichen sat upright and drank a cup of wine, his eyes never lingering on the plump fifth lady for even half a second.
After a dance, the third lady of Shangshu Mansion performed calligraphy. She has beautiful handwriting and is gentle and lovable.
The best performer in the show is Rong Xiang, the legitimate daughter of the Qing family of Dali Temple. She is dressed in a flaming red dress and has a nine-section whip flying up and down with ease.
After a set of whipping techniques, the whole hall applauded, and everyone praised Rong Xiang for his natural beauty and heroic appearance.
However, she walked up to Xiao Beichen and bowed politely, "Rong Xiang has met Lord Yi. My daughter has admired Lord Yi for a long time and is famous as the god of war. After seeing him today, she is indeed so heroic that no one can match him."
Xiao Beichen smiled slightly and nodded to him.
He just responded politely and simply, but Xiao Beichen's extremely beautiful face, which was hard to find in the world, made Rong Xiang's heart beat wildly, and he completely lost the momentum of the whip dance just now.
Luo Yunchu also looked at Xiao Beichen's profile with burning eyes, "Tsk, tsk, no one can match him!"
Xiao Beichen felt Luo Yunchu's hot gaze, turned to look at her, and raised his eyebrows, "Why are you staring at me?"
