The festive and joyful atmosphere of the New Year's Eve family dinner disappeared without a trace.
Lu Qing's condition was no longer suitable for her to stay in the palace, let alone a crying Lan Geer.
Emperor Xihe said: "I will find out what happened today. Fu Guang, please leave first with your family."
Yan Fuguang said no more and strode forward holding the sobbing Brother Lan. Lu Qing walked a few steps and faded out of the sight of Emperor Xihe and others before being carried on Wushuang's back.
Ning Huayue, Chen Qingzi and Ji Mingzhu looked at each other in silence.
Arriving in front of the palace gate, there were three carriages in front of them. Ning Huayue was the first to call Yan Fuguang: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wei's carriage will also have two maids. You can hold Lan Ge'er and sit with me."
After entering the palace, Queen Xu told her a lot, and Ning Huayue faced her situation for the first time.
She listened to Queen Xu and was determined not to maintain her condescending and useless posture in front of Yan Fuguang.
Ji Mingzhu looked like the sun was rising from the west, while Chen Qingzi lowered her head silently to hide the emotions in her eyes.
Yan Fuguang looked back at Lu Qing, who was in a bad state. She no longer had the energy to take care of Brother Lan.
Then she hugged Brother Lan and stepped onto the front carriage. Ning Huayue suddenly exhaled and curled her red lips.
Lu Qing really had no time to care, probably because subconsciously she felt that she was completely out of danger, all the energy and energy she had managed to maintain suddenly dissipated, and her head suddenly became groggy.
Wushuang and Jiqin took off her wet shoes and socks in the carriage, then found a cloak and wrapped it tightly around her body. Lu Qing fell asleep while the carriage was moving.
Also feeling tired was Brother Lan. He cried for a long time. Wushuang and Jiqin had no choice but to take him to Luqing. Now his voice is hoarse and he is leaning on Yan Fu. On the broad and warm chest.
Ning Huayue rarely had the opportunity to see Yan Fuguang and Lan Geer getting along. She didn't expect it to be so heartwarming. Under the flickering candlelight in the carriage, he sat quietly and distantly. His profile was handsome and clear, but also very hard and sharp. His posture separated him from others, making it impossible for anyone to get close to him. Only when the carriage shook a little more violently would he lower his eyes and pat the little guy in his arms softly and slowly.
"Your Majesty..."
Ning Huayue suddenly felt that the scene in front of her was very dazzling.
Yan Fuguang came over with a cold look. She clenched her hands on her legs and said despite the pressure: "I want to apologize to you. Whether it was before or after the marriage, I did a lot of wrong things." …”
She got married with ignorant pride and made her marriage into a mess. Not only did she feel shameless, but she also failed to live up to the expectations of the Ning family behind her.
However, Yan Fuguang was not interested in her confession: "Just tell me what your purpose is."
Ning Huayue struggled with her attitude and mistakes, but when she got to the bottom of it, the presence of the Ning family, Queen Xu and others behind her was enough for Yan Fuguang to avoid her as a princess.
After Queen Xu's father passed away, there were no outstanding figures among the descendants of the Xu family. In order to stabilize the crown prince's position as heir apparent and her own position in the palace, she had to make repeated plans. The prince's marriage tied Yan Xianzhi and Longwu General Jiang Ce together; the marriage between Yan Fuguang and Ning Huayue was even more obvious. On the one hand, she brought the Ning family and the current court elders together with their mother and son. On the ship, on the other hand, it can also suppress Yan Fuguang from using the marriage to achieve more benefits.
Yan Fuguang pretended not to play with them in such a big game of chess, but that was all.
Ning Huayue was hurt by Yan Fuguang's indifference, and she sighed feebly: "I am the wife that your Ming Media is marrying, and we are advancing and retreating together with the Jin Palace. Why do you regard me as your enemy?"
She probably didn't realize it herself, but her tone of voice and hypocritical expression were exactly the same as Queen Xu's.
A trace of disgust flashed in Yan Fuguang's eyes: "Father has issued an imperial edict, and I welcome you in. Isn't that enough? What else does your Ning family want?"
Ning Huayue couldn't accept it. What he meant was that he looked down on the Ning family at all and didn't want to marry her?
"But the Ning family didn't turn against you! The Ning family did something wrong!"
The tone suddenly rose, and Brother Lan hummed twice in Yan Fuguang's arms, smacking his lips impatiently.
Yan Fuguang comforted Brother Haolan and glanced sideways at Ning Huayue: "Is insatiable greed a characteristic of your Ning family?"
At this moment, the carriage stopped at the door of Prince Jin's Mansion.
Yan Fuguang stood up and left immediately, as if he could no longer bear to be in the same space as Ning Huayue.
Ning Huayue sat blankly, and a colder voice came from outside: "Either I can stay content and be your princess, or I can satisfy you and your family with a divorce letter."
**
Jinxiyuan.
Lu Qing's high fever subsided a little after taking the decoction. Ji Qin and Man Dong stayed by the bed to take care of her carefully.
Dr. Jiang reported to Yan Fuguang who was sitting on the couch outside: "The concubine was frightened and caught cold. She needs to take good care of herself."
"Yes." Yan Fuguang said, "During this period, you will come here every day to check her pulse. Just go to the pharmacy to find someone to pick up any medicine."
"Yes, that slave will leave first."
When the room became quiet, Yan Fuguang went to the inner room to take a look at Lu Qing, but he was worried about Brother Lan in the east wing.
Fang Jinbao and Nanny Zhong were standing beside Brother Lan's bed, chatting quietly.
"Oh, sister, let me tell you, our young master is so smart. He sensed that Concubine Wei was in danger and cried to warn Ji Qin and the others!"
"You are smart, but your voice is hoarse from crying."
"It's okay. Dr. Jiang said it will be fine in two days. Our little master is healthy!"
"As long as you are healthy, I will be satisfied with seeing His Highness have a few more children in this life."
"So, nothing can happen to Concubine Wei! We are counting on her now!"
After listening for a while, Yan Fuguang walked in.
Fang Jinbao and Nanny Zhong shut their mouths. Yan Fuguang leaned over and touched Brother Lan's face with his fingers: "You all have a rest. Brother Lan is being watched by the maid and wet nurse. Everything will be fine."
Aunt Zhong shook her head: "Let Fang Jinbao take care of you and have a rest early. I want to accompany my young master."
When she heard Fang Jinbao talk about the situation in the palace, she was so frightened that she surrounded Dr. Jiang and several other doctors to check Lan Geer up and down, and finally she felt relieved for the time being.
Yan Fuguang followed her and took Fang Jinbao back to Hemingyuan.
Liang Fei was waiting outside the study. When he saw Yan Fuguang appear, he reported uneasily: "Your Majesty, I heard that the eunuch in the palace died..."
Two hours after leaving the palace, the eunuch who was taken for questioning was poisoned to death. Liang Fei noticed something fishy when he got the news, not to mention Yan Fuguang.
"Dead?!" The one who had the biggest reaction was Fang Jinbao. He really couldn't understand that the person the emperor wanted to interrogate in person could die in front of his eyes.
