"What are you going to do?"
The person standing at the door was none other than Han Xianzong.
Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty did not want to see Concubine Rou, but he thought that there was still a second princess in Lanxin Palace.
He only has two daughters now. Ah Xuan is his heart and soul, and he wishes to see her every day. Suddenly he remembered that he had not seen the second princess for a long time, and he felt uneasy. He thought that nothing would happen anyway, so he took the initiative to come. look.
Who would have thought that when he came to Lan Xin Palace, he found that the place was extremely deserted, and there were not even any servants in the palace.
Walking in all the way, I happened to see Wan'er hurriedly trying to get out of the house.
"My servant pays homage to the Emperor." Wan'er didn't expect Han Xianzong to come over at this time, so she hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted with a panicked voice.
Concubine Rou in the room was overjoyed. She had always thought that Han Xianzong would come to her Lanxin Palace, but she didn't expect that he would come today!
She quickly smoothed her clothes. If Han Xianzong hadn't been outside the door now, she would have even wanted to take care of herself in front of the dressing table...
Of course, since it was too late, she just arranged her bun a little, then stood up to greet him:
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Han Xianzong seemed to turn a blind eye to her and looked around: "Where is the second princess?"
The soft expression on Concubine Rou's face suddenly froze.
She thought that His Majesty came to see her because she had knelt down in the cold for a whole day. Who knew that His Majesty came here specifically to see the second princess...
While Concubine Rou almost broke her silver teeth, she thought of how weak the second princess was, and felt a little uneasy for a moment.
The second princess's face looked weak just now. Now she was his only life-saving straw. If His Majesty saw her looking so weak, wouldn't he want to snatch the second princess away from him alive?
What should I do at that time?
Concubine Rou was helpless, but since Han Xianzong had already asked about it, she could only answer bravely: "Your Majesty, it may be because of the cold weather. The second princess is afraid of the cold and is sleeping in the inner palace."
"I'll go and have a look." As soon as Han Xianzong heard that the second princess was in the inner hall, he raised his feet and walked in.
Unlike the warm Qinzheng Hall, Lanxin Hall did not burn the ground dragon at all. The inside of the house was just better than the outside. Adults couldn't stand it here, let alone children.
Han Xianzong frowned after walking in for a few steps. It was just that he had been ignored by the servants in the palace. For a while, he did not blame Concubine Rou for this. Instead, he felt that the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were trying to seduce and exploit Lan's heart. The food and clothing of the palace.
It's freezing cold, and if you don't even have charcoal fire, your days will indeed be cold and difficult.
He walked to the bed in a few steps and opened the bed curtain. The second princess was indeed lying between the mattresses as Concubine Rou had said.
It's just that her face is pale, even a little blue if you look closely, and there is no warmth in the bed. Even Han Xianzong, an adult sitting on the bed, feels that the quilt is cold, let alone a child who is not yet one year old?
Han Xianzong's face became more and more serious. Without looking at Concubine Rou next to him, he reached out to explore the second princess's bedding and found that there was no warmth in it. If the child didn't still have a little body temperature, what would be the difference from leaving?
Thinking of what Xie Ziyue said before, Han Xianzong's face was extremely cold, and his cold eyes immediately grabbed Concubine Rou. Concubine Rou was startled by this look and hurriedly explained:
"Your Majesty, it is true that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is depriving Lan Xin Palace of its expenses. The charcoal fire provided is very limited. I am also worried about my father's affairs and rushes to Qinzheng Palace every day. I have always ordered my servants to take good care of the second princess. , just now..."
"That's enough!" Han Xianzong picked up the second princess from the bed. He felt that his little daughter didn't have much flesh on her body, which showed that Concubine Rou was really incompetent as an adoptive mother:
"It seems that I entrusted the second princess to you before, but I really didn't know people well! You, like your sister, are both a vicious and vicious woman with a heart of snakes and scorpions!"
Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty scolded her: "I will send people to investigate the matters in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but you are begging for your father's affairs in front of the Qinzheng Palace every day. Why don't you think about the second princess freezing in the palace all day long?"
Concubine Rou was disheartened by Han Xianzong's words. Han Xianzong hated her sister so much that she actually compared herself with her sister this time, which showed that she was completely disappointed with herself.
Moreover, he also said that he was going to thoroughly investigate the House of Internal Affairs... Although the people of the House of Internal Affairs were indeed not as attentive to Lan Xindian as before, but how much they were deducting, could Concubine Rou not count?
It was precisely because she knew this that she felt particularly flustered now.
Once His Majesty frees up his hands to take care of these things, he really has no chance.
"Wan'er, why don't you go outside and see how much carbon there is..." Concubine Rou had a desperate idea in her heart to keep Han Xianzong here, so she changed her mind about wanting Wan'er to hire an imperial doctor.
When Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty saw that his daughter was turning blue from the cold, he felt really uncomfortable and asked Laifu to ask for the imperial doctor.
After Laifu left, Wan'er quickly brought the charcoal fire, and Concubine Rou also lit some warm incense in the palace.
This warm incense seemed to be made by herself. Soon after it was lit, bursts of unique jasmine fragrance came from it.
Han Xianzong's expression finally softened a lot when he remembered what happened at the summer resort.
Concubine Rou noticed that Han Xianzong's expression changed a bit. She took the opportunity to kneel down and squeezed out a few tears:
"Your Majesty, I missed my father very much before, and Your Majesty also knows what it feels like to lose a loved one, so I was a little anxious before and failed to take care of the second princess. Please forgive me."
Concubine Rou did not ask Emperor Xianzong of Han Dynasty to forgive her father, so she used the excuse that she had been running for her father before and could not hold anything else in her mind, and took all the blame for her sins.
What can a daughter who misses her father so much care about? In addition to the fact that she had been kneeling outside the Qinzheng Hall all day long, Han Xianzong was really moved by her words.
It was just that he was thinking about the suffering Second Princess and made up his mind to find a foster mother for the Second Princess, so he just let Concubine Rou get up first.
What he cared about was not the reason why Concubine Rou ignored the second princess, but how the second princess was doing now.
Laifu hurriedly came with the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor made a diagnosis for the second princess and said frankly that the princess had to be placed in a warm palace immediately if the cold air entered her body. Whether she could survive it would depend on luck.
Seeing Han Xianzong's expression getting more and more angry, the imperial physician knelt on the ground and spoke tremblingly:
"Your Majesty, it is best for Imperial Physician Kang to take over this matter. The one who is best at maternal and child care in the palace is Imperial Physician Kang."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Han Xianzong quickly ordered Laifu: "Hurry and ask for Dr. Kang!"
He never thought that the daughter he never loved would be so serious, and his heart was filled with belated guilt.
Ah Xuan was held in his hand like a pearl, yet this little daughter could be so completely ignored in the palace.
