When Su Xincheng handed over the note, Xiao Langyan unfolded it and took a look.
He recognized Shen Dingzhu's handwriting at a glance.
On the paper, she wrote a few words, asking Father Shen to find the ghost doctor and write down the foods that should not be taken with the medicine.
Su Xincheng blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Xiao Langyan.
However, the little guy gradually discovered that his father's face had become gloomy and terrifying.
He slowly clenched his fists and crushed the note into a pitiful pile of paper scraps.
Xiao Langyan's jade-like handsome face was now covered with dark clouds, his jawline was tight, and veins popped out on the back of his hands.
Su Xincheng was frightened, and her voice trembled: "Daddy... Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Langyan asked her to keep the pills and lowered his eyes coldly: "When you go back, you are not allowed to tell your grandfather about this."
Su Xincheng's grape-like black eyes were filled with anxiety.
"But my mother asked me to give it to my grandfather."
"Chengcheng," Xiao Langyan reached out and stroked her soft black hair, his thin eyes were faint, "Everyone in this world must obey me, including your mother. If she is not good, do you want to imitate her? "
Su Xincheng's little body trembled and she looked at him cautiously.
"Chengcheng needs to be a good boy and don't be angry, Dad," she pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "Chengcheng won't tell grandpa."
Xiao Langyan hugged his daughter: "Be good."
Shen Dingzhu was worried about Xiao Langyan's injury and wanted to thank him for letting Su Xincheng enter the palace.
So, that night, she asked Shen Bi and Xiucui to order the small kitchen and prepare a table of delicacies.
Knowing that Xiao Langyan liked to eat lotus root knots stuffed with meat, she placed this dish in front of where he usually sat.
The sky darkened, the moon hung high, and the sky was as black and blue as burning glaze.
Shen Dingzhu has been sitting at the table waiting for half an hour, but Xiao Langyan hasn't come yet.
"Shen Bi," Shen Dingzhu called out, "go and bring all the food to the kitchen to heat it up. The emperor is probably busy with government affairs. He will be here later and will bring the food up."
However, after waiting for another hour, Xiao Langyan still did not come back.
Shen Dingzhu looked into the courtyard several times, and even Grandma Song was puzzled and joked: "It seems that the emperor is really entangled in government affairs and is stumbling, otherwise he would usually come to have meals with his wife. "
Xiucui persuaded: "Mother, why don't you pass on the food first and eat a little? What if the emperor is busy until midnight?"
Shen Dingzhu was a little hesitant: "The emperor is so busy, I don't know if he has changed the dressing on time. Chunxi, go to the imperial study and have a look. If the emperor is still busy, come back."
"Yes." Chunxi hurriedly went.
Not long after, when Shen Dingzhu was practicing calligraphy, Chunxi came back, panting.
"Empress..." He hesitated, lowered his head and said, "The emperor went to Concubine Cui De's palace an hour ago. I heard Eunuch Xu said that he probably wouldn't come over tonight, so he stayed there. "
Shen Dingzhu wrote for a moment, her eyes were stunned, and when she came back to her senses, there was already a dense ink on the paper.
Shen Bi was a little unhappy: "The Emperor didn't come to see your Majesty for dinner? Concubine Cui De must have used some tricks to make our Majesty wait for so long, and she is still hungry."
Xiucui pulled Shen Bi's sleeve: "Say less."
She winked, Shen Bi looked at Shen Dingzhu and closed her mouth.
"In this case, there is no need for Chunxi to go. You all should step aside and do whatever you have to do." Shen Dingzhu opened and closed her red lips and spoke lightly.
Mother Song hesitated and said, "But Madam, you didn't eat at night. If you don't eat now, it's not good for your health."
Shen Dingzhu said he had no appetite.
Aunt Song could only retreat with Shen Bi and the others.
In the light of the lights, Shen Dingzhu was wearing a bamboo-green dress, with a slim waist and a hosta on her head that reflected the warm light, making her beauty look as white as goose fat.
Xiao Langyan had never treated her badly. Since she returned to Beijing, a steady stream of jewelry and clothes have been sent to Yaoguang Palace.
Therefore, Shen Dingzhu spent four years away from home. After returning to the palace, he only raised her for a month, and she became more beautiful and charming than before.
A naturally beautiful embryo, watered and nourished by people with care, is astonishingly beautiful in nature.
Shen Dingzhu patiently finished writing a piece of calligraphy, then hung it up, fanned it gently with a fan, and waited for the ink to dry.
During this period, she thought about it a thousand times.
Shen Dingzhu can understand Xiao Langyan's choice tonight. The Cui family behind Cui Lianfu is a powerful branch in the court.
Xiao Langyan couldn't ignore her all the time.
Therefore, Shen Dingzhu didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but she was just worried. She didn't know whether it was because of the table of food that no one was enjoying, or because she had waited in vain for a while.
After thinking about it, Shen Dingzhu simply stopped thinking about it. After a simple bath, she lay on the couch and fell asleep.
It was late at night, the bright moon was hanging high, and the sky was illuminated with a bright circle of light.
Everyone in the palace was asleep, but Cui Lianfu's palace was lit with lights like daylight.
In the dormitory, Xiao Langyan was wearing bright yellow pajamas, holding a book and leaning on the couch to study.
And Cui Lianfu was kneeling on the ground nearby.
She has been kneeling for two sticks of incense.
My knees feel like ants crawling, and the pain is unbearable!
However, Xiao Langyan had no intention of letting her get up, and Cui Lianfu didn't even dare to ask.
Because she heard that her ointment caused trouble, but she didn't know exactly what happened. As soon as Xiao Langyan entered the dormitory today, he asked the others to retreat and ordered her to kneel down.
This is his merciless punishment.
Although Cui Lianfu knew that she was at fault, she felt aggrieved.
Her legs were so sore that she staggered and fell.
Xiao Langyan then looked over sideways, his eyes cold: "Can't you kneel now?"
Cui Lianfu burst into tears. She fell on the ground and sobbed: "Your Majesty, even if I am wrong, please make it clear and don't torture me like this anymore. I beg you."
Xiao Langyan's thin eyes were dark and captivating. He leaned against the couch in a leisurely manner, possessing an emperor-like look and dignity, but also a cold and inhumane cruelty.
He looked at Cui Lianfu: "Your father, Master Cui, is rich and boasts a clean life. Does he know that you are giving fragrant flower ointment everywhere in the palace?"
Cui Lianfu's face suddenly turned pale, and she trembled all over: "Your Majesty... I know I was wrong, I don't dare anymore!"
Seeing her kowtowing repeatedly, her fair forehead a bright red, Xiao Langyan closed his eyes: "Write a letter in person now, and ask your maid to send it out of the palace to your father tomorrow. I said, you write .”
Cui Lianfu quickly got up and went to get a pen tremblingly: "Your Majesty, please tell me, what do I want to write?"
Xiao Langyan closed his eyes, and his fierce aura became less intense.
His tone was cold: "Tell your father that there have been some impeachments against Concubine Shen in the court recently, saying that she only favors favors and fights for power. These are all untrue remarks."
"Moreover, Concubine Shen has helped you recently by not spreading the news about your gift of fragrant flower ointment, and she even hid it from me for you."
When Cui Lianfu wrote this, she suddenly paused, her face full of surprise.
The emperor... could actually do this for Shen Dingzhu!
