Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall

Chapter 112 Meeting Yuan Chunwang Again

At this time, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Concubine Xian, who had been sitting aside without saying anything, smiled slightly and said:

"Recently, the sisters seem to be in poor health. In my opinion, we should ask the imperial physician to take a good look at everyone to prevent the illness from getting worse and to take precautions."

Concubine Gao stared at Concubine Yi and continued to ask, "Did Concubine Yu ask the imperial physician to check her pulse?"

Yipin's expression showed a hint of subtle nervousness, but she quickly adjusted herself and smiled calmly as she replied:

"I originally wanted to ask the imperial physician to treat Concubine Yu, but Concubine Yu has been afraid of taking medicine since she was a child. This time she only had a slight cough, and I think she would recover after a few days of rest, so I did not ask the imperial physician."

After hearing her words, Concubine Gao's eyes became as sharp as a knife, as if she wanted to see through Concubine Yi and find a flaw in her expression.

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open and Li Yu walked in with small steps.

Concubine Gao's gaze instantly focused on him, her eyes full of expectation and desire.

Li Yu first bowed respectfully to the concubines, then said calmly, "Disperse!"

These two words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering the expectations of the concubines, and everyone looked disappointed.

Concubine Gao was so angry that her eyebrows were raised. She asked angrily, "Why is the emperor resting alone again?"

Li Yu hurriedly explained with a smile:

"Your Highness, please calm down. It is true that the Emperor is very busy with government affairs and has a mountain of memorials to review. He really has no time to summon the ladies tonight."

After hearing this, Concubine Gao snorted coldly, stood up with an unhappy look on her face, shook the handkerchief in her hand, turned around and walked out the door.

Looking at Concubine Gao's leaving back, Concubine Yi's tense nerves finally relaxed and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She, along with the other concubines, said in unison, "Your Highness, we respectfully send you off!"

On the other side, Wei Yingluo, who successfully escaped the emperor's punishment, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She calculated the days and guessed that Concubine Yu might be pregnant with Yongqi.

In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes and the tragedy of her previous life, Wei Yingluo decided to take action in advance.

So Wei Yingluo hurried to find the queen and told her:

"Empress, I heard that Concubine Yu has been feeling unwell recently. Judging from her symptoms, I think she might be pregnant with a dragon heir, and Concubine Guifei seems to be in a bad mood recently..."

After hearing this, the Queen immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, and without hesitation sent Zhang Yuanpan to Yonghe Palace to diagnose Concubine Yu's pulse, and also sent people to protect Concubine Yu.

After receiving the order, Zhang Jianyi, the eunuch trusted by the Queen, immediately sent out his capable apprentice Xiao Quanzi - that's right, Wei Yingluo asked Zhang Jianyi to find Xiao Quanzi and discipline him well, and now he has become a good assistant to Zhang Jianyi.

After receiving the order, Xiao Quanzi led a group of guards to protect Concubine Yu.

They acted quickly to ensure Concubine Yu's safety, and also brought back the news that Concubine Yu was pregnant.

After completing these things, Wei Yingluo finally felt relieved.

However, she did not stop, but walked towards a familiar yet unfamiliar direction - Xinzheku.

Stepping into Yongxiang from Changchun Palace, Wei Yingluo seemed to have entered another world.

The originally warm spring-like atmosphere suddenly became bitterly cold, as if one had suddenly stepped from spring into a freezing winter.

Although it was early spring, cold winds blew through the alley, making people shiver.

Wei Yingluo looked up and saw two towering gray walls, like the gray fences in a prison, tightly locking all the criminals in this desolate place.

She sighed deeply, filled with emotion.

Relying on the only vague memory left, Wei Yingluo slowly walked to a remote corner.

Sure enough, there was a figure there, with his back to her.

Next to the deep well, an old bucket was slowly lifted out of the deep well by a rope.

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..." As the bucket rises, the well water in the bucket ripples gently, and strands of coolness drift out of the bucket.

As soon as the person carrying the water placed the bucket steadily on the ground, he could not wait to support the edge of the bucket steadily with both hands, just like a very thirsty person seeing a clear spring. Then he quickly buried his head deeply in the bucket and began to drink the water in big gulps.

The "gurgling" sound of drinking water continued, and it was particularly clear in the silent atmosphere.

Wei Yingluo walked over quietly.

However, Yuan Chunwang, who was extremely alert, noticed her arrival the moment she appeared.

I saw his right ear twitching slightly, and then he turned his face towards the direction she was coming at an extremely fast speed.

Yuan Chunwang's face was extremely beautiful, but she always exuded a chilling and cold aura that made people shudder.

"Is it really you?" Wei Yingluo's eyes fell on him. She was stunned for a moment and spoke subconsciously.

Yuan Chunwang's gaze, like ice-cold well water, swept across Wei Yingluo's face quickly without a trace of warmth.

"I do not know you."

A familiar yet cold voice sounded, and then he raised his hand and gently wiped away the remaining water stains from the corners of his mouth. Then he turned around and prepared to leave without hesitation.

Just as the two were about to pass each other, Wei Yingluo suddenly spoke:

"and many more."

When Yuan Chunwang heard her words, he stopped abruptly.

Wei Yingluo thought for a moment, then reached out and took out a steamed bun carefully wrapped in a white handkerchief from her bosom, handed it to Yuan Chunwang, and said softly:

"do you want to eat?"

Wei Yingluo remembered that the friendship and connection between her and Yuan Chunwang started because of a steamed bun.

So this time, she specially brought some steamed buns.

Because she knew in her heart that if she rashly brought some exquisite pastries with her, he, who was sensitive and suspicious, would be even more frightened and even less willing to pay attention to her.

Yuan Chunwang stared at the steamed bun in her hand without blinking, his throat rolled unconsciously, and a hint of desire flashed in his eyes.

Wei Yingluo took in all his subtle reactions and changes in expression, sighed, and couldn't help thinking, "He is still being bullied by everyone in Xinzheku."

However, at this time, the two of them were not familiar with each other.

Wei Yingluo gently broke off a small piece of steamed bun, put it into her mouth and chewed it slowly.

Then he handed the remaining half of the bun closer to Yuan Chunwang again and said in a gentle voice, "Take it and eat it."

Yuan Chunwang's gaze first fell on the steamed bun in her hand, and then slowly moved upwards. His eyes, filled with deep doubt and high vigilance, were like a weak and vigilant little animal looking at the person who fed him.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally slowly reached out his hand, took the steamed bun and began to eat it voraciously.
