Chapter 46 Ruoxi is sick 2
"Hey!" Bi Yuntao, who was lying on the bed recovering from his injuries, sighed and turned over.
"Prince, please be more open-minded. You always sigh like this, which is not good for the injury!" Xiaolan tried to persuade her, looking at her prince's worried look.
"Hey! I'm thinking very openly! I just can't get over my heart. It's been more than half a month now, and there's no news about Ruoxi. Even Ruo Lang hasn't been here. I don't know how Ruo Xi is? Yes. Will everything be okay?!”
It has been half a month since the last time Ruoxi left in anger. Bi Yuntao has been lying in bed recovering from his injuries these days, and he no longer even thinks about teasing Xiaolan.
During the half month of recuperation, he had been thinking about how to deal with the relationship between him and Ruoxi every day. As a result, it kept getting messy and the relationship became more chaotic. The more he thought about it, the more troubled he became. This scene happened every day.
"Your Majesty, if you are so concerned about Miss Meng, it would be better to pay her a visit." Xiaolan sat on the bed and fed Bi Yuntao the peeled fruit.
"Hey! It's not like you don't know. Last time, with the mentality of giving it a try, I asked a servant to visit and test it out. You also saw the result of that servant. He was kicked out without even entering the gate. Scared I don’t even dare to go, what if I let the left prime minister break my legs again?!” Bi Yuntao said with a sad face, “Peel another grape for me.”
Xiaolan rolled her eyes at Bi Yuntao, peeled a grape from the fruit basket and handed it to his mouth.
"Aww." Bi Yuntao looked at the snow-white slender fingers in front of him and took the grapes and fingers into his mouth.
"Ah! Your Majesty!" Xiaolan felt Bi Yuntao's frivolous movements, blushed and quickly pulled out her fingers.
Bi Yuntao smacked his lips with a smirk on his face. "Hey! The grapes peeled by the beauty are so delicious!"
Xiaolan looked at the evil smile on Bi Yuntao's face. Although she was a little angry at his frivolity, she was more embarrassed and helpless. She pinched his arm gently and said: "You do this every time, we Women are inherently thin-skinned and will make moves as soon as they meet. That's how you made Miss Meng angry. Which of the eldest ladies in the boudoir is not a door-stepper? Except for the men in your own house, they are I have never met other men, how can I tolerate being so frivolous like you? 1"
After getting along with each other for half a month, Xiaolan roughly understood her prince's temper. As long as he didn't touch the bottom line, she could be as big or small as he was in private, and she could even make some harmless jokes. He didn't know if he was just like this to himself or to the people close to him.
"Hiss!" Bi Yuntao took a deep breath, pretended to be in pain, and with a sad face, stretched out his hand to hug Xiaolan, "You hurt me, I want to hug you."
With quick eyes and quick hands, Xiaolan stood up and dodged Bi Yuntao's embrace, "Come on, young master, you don't have the time to amuse me, why don't you hurry up and think about how to deal with the matter between you and Miss Meng."
"Hey!" When Bi Yuntao heard what Xiaolan said, he gave up the idea of teasing Xiaolan, and suddenly felt sad in his heart, "Say, how about I go see the mother-in-law and ask the mother-in-law to hand over the name card? ?! The left prime minister has a reason to reject my name card, but I can’t think of any reason to reject my mother’s name card.”
Xiaolan tilted her head in thought, her face full of youthful playfulness, "It's not impossible, but Your Majesty, you need to find a reason to ask the Imperial Concubine to hand over the famous card."
"Doesn't this make you think of a reason? If I tell my mother directly that I want to see Ruoxi, my mother will definitely not be happy. She doesn't like Ruoxi in the first place."
The two people in the room fell into silence for a while, not knowing how to tell the imperial concubine about this.
"Brother!" Meng Ruolang's voice suddenly appeared outside the house, interrupting their contemplation.
Xiaolan quickly moved to open the door, "Mr. Meng, the prince..."
Meng Ruolang directly pushed Xiaolan away, not giving her a chance to continue talking, "Get out of the way!" Xiaolan staggered when he pushed her, but when she saw Meng Ruolang's unkind expression, she quickly stabilized her body and stepped forward to stop her. .
But after all, Meng Ruolang was better at kung fu than her, so he bypassed her and entered the house first, "Brother! What did you do to your sister after I left?! When you returned to the house, you just cried in the house. No matter how we asked, I just refused to say anything and stayed behind closed doors for the past few days. If my mother hadn't been so worried and ordered me to forcefully enter the house, I wouldn't have even known that my sister was sick?!"
Bi Yuntao was originally a little happy to see Meng Ruolang coming over, but he didn't expect that he would directly question him as soon as he entered the room, which caught him off guard.
Bi Yuntao finally came to his senses. He didn't bother to answer Meng Ruolang's question and asked quickly: "What did you say?! Ruoxi is sick?!"
Without waiting for Meng Ruolang's reply, he got up and got out of bed, "No, I have to go see Ruoxi. I'm really worried."
"Hmph! Brother! If I don't come, don't you know how to go there in person?! I know you are injured and can't move around easily, why are you not even willing to send a servant to deliver the message?! Is this how you treat my sister? ?!”
Bi Yuntao was a little confused by Meng Ruolang's three-button hit, "This... I know Ruoxi is angry. I let the servants go in for several days in a row, but they kicked me out without even entering the door. .”
Meng Ruolang vented his grievances to Bi Yuntao, and his mood improved a little. After hearing his explanation and seeing the serious expression on his face, he knew that his father should have done this and deliberately hid it from them. Then he sighed and said, "Hey! You'd better not go now. I think your father will tear you into pieces if you go now. It's better to wait until my sister feels better. You can go there!"
Bi Yuntao kept shaking his head when he heard what Meng Ruolang said, "No, even if I am really torn into pieces by the left prime minister, I will go. Ruoxi has been angry with me for several days. I I didn't even look at her, she will definitely misunderstand." After saying that, he put on his shoes and got up to go to Zuo Xiangfu.
"But..." Before Meng Ruolang could finish her words, Xiaolan's voice was heard at the door, "Greetings to the imperial concubine."
"No gifts, Tao'er. I heard that you have been very well-behaved recently and have been keeping to yourself, so I happened to come over to see how your gifts were prepared." Before seeing him, I heard his voice first, and the imperial concubine was like It was as if they had made an appointment with Meng Rulang, and they all arrived one after another at the same time.
"Greetings to the imperial concubine, my son Ruolang is polite here." When Meng Ruolang saw the imperial concubine coming in, she quickly clasped her fists and saluted. The imperial concubine was a little surprised when she saw Meng Ruolang here. She heard from the servants in the palace that the eldest lady of Zuo Xiang's Mansion was ill recently, and it was not getting better after taking medicine. It had been several days. Didn't Zuo Xiang and the others keep dreaming? Is Ruo Xi guarding you? Why do you have time to come here? !
"Concubine, what gift?" Bi Yuntao was a little confused. He hadn't heard anyone say anything about preparing gifts recently.
The imperial concubine rolled her eyes at him and sighed silently, "Hey! Can't you let me, my mother and concubine, worry less? It's your imperial grandmother's birthday soon. You won't even forget such a big thing, right?"
"Hehe." Bi Yuntao laughed a few times in embarrassment, "Well... there have been a lot of things recently, and I really forgot. Ruo Xi is also sick, isn't it? Now I have time to prepare to visit Ruo Xi. Concubine, don’t you want to come with me to have a look?”
Meng Ruolang and Xiaolan looked at Bi Yuntao telling lies seriously, and they both felt that the prince was really thick-skinned. It was clearly them who made Meng Ruoxi angry. They were afraid of being made things difficult by the left prime minister, so they deliberately used the imperial concubine as a shield.
"You, you! What can I say to you, the imperial concubine? I can forget the Queen's grandmother's birthday. Fortunately, the imperial concubine specially came to ask a few days in advance. Otherwise, it depends on how you explain that day!" The imperial concubine hates the irony. He poked Bi Yuntao on the forehead.
"Hehehehe." Bi Yuntao smiled carelessly, "Don't be afraid, there will be a road to the mountain. We won't talk about it until that day comes, not to mention that it hasn't arrived yet. Concubine, do you want to come with me to visit? Ruoxi?"
The imperial concubine thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, I will go visit with you."
…
"Sir! The Imperial Concubine is here to visit! She's already waiting in the front hall." Prime Minister Zuo frowned and looked at the housekeeper, "Why did the Imperial Concubine come here today?"
After all, the housekeeper had been waiting for Zuo Xiang for a long time. Knowing that his master had other intentions, he whispered: "Sir, King Qi is here too!"
"Hmph! That boy was just as I expected. He knew that he would not get any favors by coming here, so he specially brought the imperial concubine with him." The left minister put down the book in his hand, straightened his clothes, and went to the main hall to greet the imperial concubine and others. .
…
"A distinguished guest is here. The old minister is busy with government affairs and is not able to welcome you from afar. Please don't be offended by the imperial concubine." Prime Minister Zuo saluted the imperial concubine with a smile.
"You're polite, Prime Minister Zuo. I happened to go to Prince Qi's Mansion today and met Ruo Lang. I heard Ruo Lang said that Ruo Xi was sick, so I came to bother you. Please don't take it offence, Prime Minister Zuo." The imperial concubine glanced at the restless lady. Bi Yuntao spoke again: "King Qi is as anxious as Ruoxi. He kept urging me to hurry up on the way, so he didn't have time to prepare any gifts. Please ask Zuo Xiang Haihan."
The left minister knew that there was something in the concubine's words, but he was resentful of the king in his heart and ignored the concubine's implication, "Haha! It is Ruo Xi's blessing that the concubine came in person. There is no need to prepare special gifts. Ruo Xi It has gotten better recently, and I thank you for your concern, the noble concubine."
"Oh? Since Ruoxi has improved, I wonder if I can visit Ruoxi?" When the imperial concubine saw that the old fox, the left prime minister, had been flirting with her, she knew that her purpose had been seen through, and she thought about what happened to her son on the way. I had no choice but to open the skylight and speak frankly.
On the way here, Bi Yuntao specifically asked his mother and concubine to let him meet Ruoxi. The imperial concubine is sitting in her current position. How can she be such a simple person? As soon as he said these words, he knew there was something fishy in them. After some questioning, Bi Yuntao was forced to tell the truth, which made the imperial concubine scold her again.
"Haha! It's just some cold. Although it has improved, the doctor said it is still easily contagious. For the sake of the imperial concubine's body, it is better not to visit." The left minister politely rejected the imperial concubine's request, and to be precise It was Bi Yuntao's request that was rejected.
At this time, Bi Yuntao was so filled with hatred that he wanted to kill the left prime minister. This old fox clearly knew the intention of him and his mother and concubine coming, so he refused on the grounds of contagion. It would be heartbreaking to kill someone!
"This..." The imperial concubine glanced at Bi Yuntao, saw his pleading eyes, and sighed silently in her heart, what a sin! Don’t you usually have many tricks to deal with women? Why was he so helpless when he met that witch Ruoxi? !
"Prime Minister Zuo, let me tell you the truth. It was King Qi's intention to come here today. King Qi felt sorry for Ruo Xi, but he had provoked Ruo Xi to leave in anger. Now that he heard that Ruo Xi was ill, he specifically begged me The palace took him here in person to apologize and visit."
When the left minister heard the imperial concubine speaking like this, he stopped trying to be aggressive and said bluntly: "Haha! My dear concubine, I won't hide it from you. In fact, this is Ruo Xi's intention. My daughter, a few days ago When I returned home, I specifically told the old minister that I didn’t want to see King Qi again before getting married, and she fell ill a few days later. If the imperial concubine still insists on seeing Ruoxi, then please come back.", thinking of my daughter. As her body became thinner and thinner, her resentment against King Qi became even more serious, and she directly rejected the imperial concubine's request.
When the imperial concubine saw that Zuo Xiang had issued the expulsion order so straightforwardly, she knew that it was irreversible and thought to herself: "It's good for both of them. I hope this incident can make Tao'er focus on the court. Now is the time to seize the opportunity." When the direct battle is tense, how can we only focus on the relationship between men and women?" Then he stood up and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Xiangfu's ancestral passive secret technique of interrupting was triggered at this time, "Your Highness! Father! Wait a moment!"
Meng Ruolang heard her father's last words outside the door. After taking a few steps, she saw that the imperial concubine had stood up and quickly stopped her. She had just gone to see her sister, and her sister specifically told her that she wanted to see her eldest brother. .
"Your Majesty, my father, my sister said that she wants to see her eldest brother and has something to say to him." Everyone looked at Meng Ruolang at the door.
"Really?! Ruo Xi wants to see me?! Ruo Lang, take me there quickly!"
Before the mother-in-law and Zuo Xiang could speak, Bi Yuntao jumped out to speak. At this moment, he wished he could hug Meng Ruolang and give him a kiss. The more he looked at him, the more adorable he became.
The Prime Minister Zuo looked at his son, his teeth itching with anger. He would not show up sooner or later, insisting on showing up when they were ready to leave. Ruo Xi was the same. King Qi kept thinking of him when he didn't come. Even when he had a fever and talked nonsense, he kept thinking of his name. Finally, he got better. She knew that he had never visited her, but he still said that he would never visit her again. They didn't want to meet each other, but it was less than time for a cup of tea, so Bo couldn't wait to meet him. He didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup King Qi had given Ruoxi to make her unable to let go. Doesn't Ruoxi understand that as a father, how can he feel better knowing that his daughter has been abused like that? !
Meng Ruolang felt a little frightened when she saw her father's gloomy and ugly expression. When she saw the imperial concubine winking at her, she quickly led Bi Yuntao out of the main hall and went to her sister's room.
