Chapter 20: No matter how your love is at this time (2)

Haoyue stepped forward and tucked the quilt for me, and then said, "Xinlan, you can go to the small kitchen with me, and there are some medicines for the cold and cold, we have boiled it for the empress. Huiju, you stay outside and let the empress sleep well. For a while."
Hearing that they were all out, I rolled over and fell asleep.
When I woke up, Haoyue sat blankly beside me, with a half-dry towel in her hand, looking out the window thoughtfully, but I didn't notice when I woke up.
I looked at her for a long while, and smiled slightly, feeling that the body is not so uncomfortable, but it is still weak. I turned around gently, and Haoyue retracted her eyes from a distance, subconsciously put the handkerchief on my forehead, and when she lowered her head, she was shocked when she saw me looking at her with a smile.
I sat up slowly, Haoyue quickly helped me. I reached out and nodded her eyebrows, smiled and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Haoyue blushed, "What did the young lady say, she didn't think about anything."
I stared into her eyes, and she dodged a little bit. I laughed. It seems that Haoyue is really worried, so it's better not to ask.
I closed my eyes again, "I'm hungry."
"I'll order them to eat. I just made some light dishes and porridge."
"Well, I just want to have some porridge." Haoyue helped me up, and I looked at the dim sky outside, "When is it?"
Haoyue hid her mouth and smiled: "It's already evening, it's half past the unitary hour."
"I slept for a long time."
"No, but the lady frightened us when she came back. You don't know how pale your face was at the time, and you still had a fever after midday, so I wanted to go to the imperial doctor again, but the imperial doctor in the imperial hospital The doctors have gone to the Hall of Nourishing the Heart, and I am back."
"The Hall of Nourishment?" I sat up straight in shock.
Haoyue looked at me in surprise, "What's the matter, miss?"
I calmed down, "It's nothing." Turning to look at Haoyue, "Did you see my father and brother yesterday? Are they all okay?"
"Well, it's all fine. The master is still the same, but he was really happy yesterday and he was more energetic. The eldest son is very beautiful, and he has done a lot this time. It seems that the emperor appreciates him very much." When Haoyue said the word "emperor", a faint blush appeared on her face.
My heart "thumped" for a while, "That's all right, I'm relieved when everything is fine. I didn't go, did my father ask anything?"
"The emperor seems to have said it before, so I didn't say anything when I went to the master."
I nodded, knowing that Haoyue couldn't hide anything here, so I waited quietly for her to say.
Sure enough, Haoyue said, "Miss, the emperor seems to like the picture you embroidered very much."
I nodded. At this moment, Hui Ju came in and said that the food had been arranged in the side hall, and Haoyue helped me over. I looked at the and palace lady standing in the side hall, and then at Haoyue, knowing that it would be difficult to ask anything here, so I sat down to eat dinner first.
After taking a sip of lotus seed soup, it was a little hot, but Zi Ying on the side noticed that she hurriedly walked around and brought it down.
At this moment, I was really worried. If all the imperial doctors went to the Hall of Nourishing the Heart, it means that he is not very sick. Xu was in the rain last night and he didn't wear too much clothes. He also wrote memorials that night. Although I put a quilt on him, it still doesn't work.
The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, and I called Yumei to ask her to inquire.
After dinner, I returned to the bedroom. Haoyue insisted that I go back to bed and lie down, so she put on a silk moiré hanging, half leaning on the brocade cushion, Haoyue sat beside me embroidering a silk kerchief.
I took a look. Although it was only a silhouette, I saw it was a pair of koi. I didn't speak, but quietly looked at the collection of poems by the pillow.
"Miss," Haoyue said with a glance at me, "I saw the emperor yesterday."
I put down the book and looked up at her. Haoyue's face was reddened, her eyes slanted to the side, her mouth pursed and she didn't say anything.
I said peacefully: "Then what?"
"He..." Haoyue hesitated and stopped.
I smiled, "The emperor is fine, isn't it?"
Haoyue glanced at me in surprise, then lowered her head, "The emperor looks very gentle, not at all what I thought before."
I nodded, yes, he is also different from what I thought before.
I looked at Haoyue, "The dragon among people is naturally different. Let me know if you have any concerns. Although we are masters and servants in name, haven't we been like sisters for so many years?"
Haoyue smiled, "Miss..."
I continued: "The emperor must be good, otherwise the first emperor would not choose him to succeed. Daddy also said that he is extremely talented, after all, he is an emperor."
"Last night the emperor talked and laughed with the lord and the eldest son. They were so dignified and even said a few words to me." Haoyue said with some excitement.
I smiled quietly, but I can imagine the scene. Everything about him is really easy to indulge people, but he is the emperor, you can never expect that he can give you the kind of happiness that ordinary people have and are deeply dependent on the case between husband and wife.
I didn’t say anything, because he won’t come to Kunning Palace, and Haoyue won’t have any chance to contact him. This impression will fade away. Maybe after a while, Haoyue will forget. Love, leave only respect.
At this time, Huiju brought the medicine in, "Manny, it's time to drink the medicine."
Haoyue hurriedly stood up to take it, blew and handed it to me, "It's a bit hot, but this medicine is more effective. You can drink it soon."
I took it and took a sip, so bitter, shook my head and exhaled.
"Niang, I prepared honey water. The medicine should be drunk at once, and it won't be so bitter." Huiju said.
I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and drank it. Haoyue quickly handed me honey water, and I felt better after taking the drink.
Seeing Huiju going out, Haoyuefang sat next to me again, and helped me pull the quilt that was covering her body. "Where did the lady go last night? You were not in good shape after such a heavy rain."
"Went out for a walk, I didn't expect to be caught in the rain. On the way back, I was almost spotted by the night patrol guards. I got a little bit of rain after hiding. It's not a problem." I said lightly.
"Oh, let's take Xiaofuzi and the others when I go out. It's safe."
"I know." I closed my eyes, Yao Jin came up a little, and my head felt heavy sleepy.
Haoyue helped me to lie down, just about to go out and turned around, "Miss."
"what happened?"
Haoyue paused, her eyes drifting, "The hem of the long silk dance dress of the lady is torn, but we don't have that kind of silk thread. Why don't we ask the servant's office to make it up?"
I shook my head, "Wash before you talk." After speaking, I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
I woke up early the next morning, and Haoyue fell asleep beside my bed. I got up lightly and didn't wake her up, so I found a dress and put it on.
At this time, Huiju came in and was about to bow. I signaled her not to wake Haoyue, so I sat in front of the bronze mirror and asked Huiju to comb my hair. Haoyue moved over there and opened her eyes, thinking that she found that I was no longer in bed, and quickly got up.
Turning around, she saw me sitting and smiling at her, she stood up embarrassedly, "Miss..."
I said gently: "Go back to sleep, I am fine. I will give you a day off today, and you will be exhausted for these two days."
"No need, miss." Haoyue defended, "I'm fine."
"Today you can take a good rest. There is nothing wrong with me. Every day is not the same. Today I promised you not to go out of this palace, don't you worry?"
Haoyue hid her mouth and smiled: "Who dares to stop you if you want to go out?"
"Okay, go back and rest soon. Looking at your appearance, people who don't know thought me, the queen, didn't even treat the close-kids."
When Haoyue went out, I asked Huiju to find Yumei.
"Back to Niangniang, I heard from the little in the imperial hospital that the emperor was infected with a cold, and he was a bit heavier if he came in anxiously, but it will be better after recuperation.
Listening to Yumei's words, I relaxed a little bit, took a sip of the tea that was just brewed next to me, and pretended to be disapproving, "Do you know why I felt the cold?"
Yumei laughed when she heard this, "It's a strange thing to say."
Hui Ju coughed slightly from the side, Yumei found that she was a little mischievous, and she hurriedly lowered her head and stopped talking.
I smiled and glanced at Huiju, then looked at Yumei, "Let's talk, our palace is already deserted, and it is easy to say something interesting to relieve the boredom."
Seeing that I had said this, Yumei walked to me and offered candied dates, and then said, "I heard that the little said that after the emperor's dinner, she went to the Royal Garden alone and met a woman. It is said that the woman was not beautiful. Like a mortal. After heavy rain fell, the emperor took the woman back to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart. The emperor approved the memorial and fell asleep, but when she woke up, the woman disappeared."
Yumei paused and continued: "If you say that the guard of the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart is a one-in-a-million warrior, if you really run away, can you not be found? But there is no trace of life. The emperor slept for a while. He woke up and found that the person was gone, so he ran out to search. Manager Zhang chased and opened the umbrella to no avail, but the woman was gone. The emperor looked for a long time, and he went back only after dawn. He was caught in the wind. I also insisted on going to the morning court. But just after the court, I fell down and got hot, which scared the doctors in the imperial hospital..."
My heart is already in chaos, but he is fine.
Huiju on the side could hear enthusiastically, "What happened later, did you find it?"
"Not yet. But, it seems that I have to look for them one by one in the harem."
I was surprised, looking for them one by one? It shouldn't be such a big move.
Hui Ju was also surprised, "One by one? There are so many girls in the harem, why are they all?"
"I don't know about that. But it seems that Concubine Liu is upset. Also, if you have to look for it one by one, don't say whether the woman can find it. If you find a few more beautiful and talented people, Liu Fei will not fall out of favor. Already? Now she is pregnant and can't wait for the bed."
"I think that woman must be extremely beautiful, so that the emperor can be so concerned."
"Isn't it? It is said that it was the fairy from the heaven who went down to the earth to play and meet the emperor, otherwise, how could he have disappeared." Yumei said solemnly, Huiju nodded her head.
I looked like they were going to keep discussing like this, so I stood up and Hui Ju hurriedly helped me.
I smiled and waved, "I'm going to the small garden, you don't need to follow."
