Mo Rongzhan still didn't attend morning court today. The officials in the hall looked at each other and wondered about the emperor's illness. Prime Minister Xu and Liu Zongyuan were calm. They had seen the Empress Dowager yesterday and knew that the emperor was fine. As for why he didn't attend morning court, the emperor must have his own reasons.
However, some people's eyes flickered as they stared silently at the dragon throne high above. A scheming glint flashed across their eyes.
"Lord Xu, what on earth is the emperor sick? It's been a few days. Why hasn't there been any news? "an official asked Prime Minister Xu anxiously.
"Right. Lord Xu, Lord Liu, didn't you see the Empress Dowager yesterday? What did the Empress Dowager say? "someone asked.
Prime Minister Xu sighed. "We didn't see the emperor either. Like you, we don't know much."
"What on earth does the Empress Dowager want to do? Is she deliberately hiding the emperor's illness? "the official who had been staring at the dragon throne asked angrily.
Liu Zongyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at that person. "Zhou Zhicheng, what do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything. I'm just curious why the Empress Dowager doesn't let the two of you see the emperor. Even if the emperor is sick, can't he see the officials? The Empress Dowager is deliberately hiding the real reason why the emperor doesn't attend morning court. I believe only the Empress Dowager knows the purpose, "Zhou Zhicheng said righteously.
Prime Minister Xu stared at him with a frown. "Lord Zhou, it seems that you know the best."
Zhou Zhicheng snorted. "If we still can't see the emperor tomorrow, we'll have to kneel outside the palace and ask the Empress Dowager for an explanation."
A few people agreed with him. The others looked at each other and Prime Minister Xu and Liu Zongyuan.
Very soon, someone reported everything that had happened in the hall in full detail to Mo Rongzhan, who was still recuperating in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. He was still declared to be unconscious, and only a few people knew that his injuries had already recovered extremely well.
After hearing the report, Mo Rongzhan asked him to leave.
"Is this what you want?" Huang Fuchen stood behind Mo Rongzhan and was removing the stitches on his wound. It should have taken a few days to remove the stitches, but unexpectedly, the wound on his back recovered very well, and the stitches could be removed in advance.
"What do I want? I am only giving them a chance. " Mo Rongzhan snorted coldly. "If we don't give them a chance, I'm afraid they won't be able to accomplish anything in their entire lives. Wouldn't that suffocate them to death?"
Huang Fuchen pulled out the suture thread.
Mo Rongzhan snorted and shouted unhappily, "Are you taking revenge on me?"
"You don't owe me anything. Why would I take revenge on you?" Huang Fuchen said, amused. "Don't take it out on me when you're in a bad mood."
"How is Lu Lingzhi?" Mo Rongzhan was indeed in a very bad mood. Yesterday, in a fit of pique, he left Xu Huiru in the Qian Qing Palace. Today, he let her return to the harem. However, that little girl actually didn't say anything and left the palace. She simply didn't care that he doted on that woman. In her heart, the most important thing was always the people of the Ye family.
Huang Fuchen said, "We're still short of a Fire Lotus. Is there any more in the palace?"
"There should be more. I will send someone to look for it." Mo Rongzhan said. No matter how he dealt with Lu Wushuang, it had nothing to do with the Lu family. He would not leave Lu Lingzhi to die.
"Do you remember how Yaoyao stopped the bleeding for you before?" Huang Fuchen asked in a low voice. He had been a doctor for so long, but he had never seen such a serious injury recover in a few days. His treatment method was the same as before. The only difference was … Mo Rongzhan's injury stopped bleeding very quickly, and it was all thanks to Lu Yaoyao.
Mo Rongzhan's chest tightened at the mention of Lu Yaoyao's name. Thinking of how she cried because of his injury in the Hunting Forest, he said in a low voice, "I don't know what medicine she used at that time. It was a little cool and I didn't feel that much pain."
"Medicine?" Huang Fuchen was stunned. He remembered that when he treated Mo Rongzhan's wound, he didn't find any medicine on his back.
"What's the problem?" Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows and asked.
Huang Fuchen applied the Snow Lotus Ointment to his healed wounds and wrapped them up with white cloth again. "You should thank Yaoyao. If it weren't for her treatment, I'm afraid you wouldn't have lost your life so easily."
Mo Rongzhan's face was cold. Even if he wanted to thank Lu Yaoyao, she might not be willing to accept it.
"Since your injury has healed, I don't need to stay in the palace every day. Ask someone to find the fire lotus and send it to me. I will detoxify Lu Lingzhi," Huang Fuchen said.
"Okay." Something was going to happen in the palace soon, and it wasn't safe for Huang Fuchen to stay here.
Huang Fuchen packed his things and left. When he walked to the door, he turned back and looked at Mo Rongzhan, who still had a gloomy face. "Let me remind you of something. Yaoyao is already at the age to get married."
Mo Rongzhan's face became even more gloomy when he heard that.
"Ford!" Mo Rongzhan called Ford, who was outside, in.
"Your Majesty, your servant is here." Ford bowed. He really couldn't figure out Mo Rongzhan's temper these two days. He didn't know when his master was in a good mood and when he was in a bad mood.
Mo Rongzhan asked with a sullen face, "Where is Lu Yaoyao? Why didn't I see her today?"
"Your Majesty, Her Highness hasn't entered the palace yet," Ford replied.
She hasn't entered the palace yet? Wasn't she worried about his injury at all and didn't want to take care of him at all? "Ask someone to call her into the palace!"
Ford didn't dare to say another word and immediately left after agreeing to it.
He almost bumped into Xu Huiru outside. Ford hurriedly bowed. "Your Highness."
Xu Huiru looked at Ford's hurried expression and asked with a smile, "Eunuch Fu, where are you going?"
Ford smiled awkwardly. "Your Majesty wants to see the princess. Your servant is going to invite the princess into the palace now."
Why did the emperor want to see Lu Yaoyao? The smile on Xu Huiru's face was a bit forced. She lowered her head and went to see Mo Rongzhan.
"Your concubine greets Your Majesty." Xu Huiru smiled shyly and looked at Mo Rongzhan affectionately.
When Xu Huiru saw Mo Rongzhan, she immediately became happy. She spent the night in the Palace of Heavenly Purity yesterday. Between her and him, all the love seemed fake.
Mo Rongzhan glanced at her indifferently. "What's the matter, Concubine?"
"Your Majesty, your concubine has personally made a few pastries. Please have a taste." Xu Huiru held a food box in her hand. Before entering the palace, she had trained hard in cooking. She believed that as long as the emperor tasted her cooking, he wouldn't think about Lu Yaoyao anymore.
"Take it away. We don't like sweet things. Don't come to the Palace of Heavenly Purity for the next few days." Mo Rongzhan lowered his eyes and said coldly.
Xu Huiru's face changed. "Your Majesty?"
