"Cui'er, hurry and bring me the medicine I need to drink today."
Cui'er, who had been thinking about what to do, raised her head and looked at her mistress with an ugly expression. She didn't understand why her mistress wanted her to bring the medicine when she knew it wasn't anything good.
Siyang saw that she didn't move, so she looked at her and urged, "Go quickly."
"That's right, don't you know how to get the medicine? You really are a stupid girl. "Tuozan scolded from the side.
"That's right. Only this stupid girl can suffer so much with me."
Tuozan's face stiffened because of Siyang's seemingly unintentional words. She looked at Xue Pinggui and found that he didn't look any better. Seeing this, the corners of her mouth curved up slightly.
Cui'er bit her lip, lowered her head, and said in a low voice, "Yes … this servant will go now."
The medicine was quickly brought up. During this time, Siyang kept stopping Xue Pinggui, talking endlessly about the past and how much she missed him after being separated for so many years. Xue Pinggui reminisced with her affectionate eyes. Tuozan couldn't get a word in edgewise and could only laugh dryly. Occasionally, she would chime in.
On the surface, it seemed very harmonious, but no one knew what they were thinking.
"Come, Baochuan, drink the medicine first." Xue Pinggui took the bowl of medicine that Cui 'er brought over. He didn't mind it at all. He gently blew on the hot air on the top of the bowl and scooped it into Si Yang's mouth.
Siyang stared at the bowl of black medicine, but didn't open her mouth. She stared at him with her dark eyes and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Your Majesty, do you think this medicine can cure this servant?"
Xue Pinggui's hand that was holding the spoon paused. He looked away from her and said softly, "… Why not? The imperial physician said that your body is a little weak, and you'll be fine after some nourishment. "
"Yes." As though she had been convinced, the corners of Si Yang's mouth curled up into a faint smile that seemed to carry some other meaning. Xue Pinggui's eyes flashed, and when he looked again, he saw her opening her mouth and drinking the medicine.
Qinzan's hand gripped the handkerchief so tightly that her knuckles turned white. The two of them were deeply affectionate here. It was as if reminding her was superfluous. Clearly, clearly, the Emperor was hers. Wang Baochuan, the so-called wife, could not help her husband at all. What was the use? All of this could be blamed on her bad luck.
"Rest after drinking the medicine. We will visit you more often."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will wait for you."
After coldly watching Xue Pinggui leave with Tuozan without looking back, Siyang slowly closed her eyes.
"Miss, are you alright?" After watching them leave, Cui 'er hurriedly returned with a crying face. "Why did you drink that medicine?"
"It's fine." The hoarse voice was no longer there. It became clear and bright. She pulled her hand out of the quilt. At the same time, she took out a strip of grayish-brown cloth.
"This is …" Cui 'er's eyes widened.
Casually throwing the cloth on the ground, Siyang wiped the corner of her mouth and said mockingly, "If you're not sick, why did you take medicine? Get rid of that thing."
"Yes." This time, Cui 'er's response was more cheerful. The young miss was already on guard. Cui' er was still holding her back. Next time, I should listen to the young miss. Cui 'er secretly thought.
After leaving the Central Palace, Xue Pinggui used the excuse that he still had matters to attend to and left first. Looking at his back, Tuozan, who originally wanted to stay with him for a while, slowly became gloomy. However, she held it in. She didn't explode until she returned to her Western Palace.
"Get out of the way for this princess." The tea that had just been served was waved down by her hand, and the steaming teacup casually splashed onto the ground.
"Imperial Concubine, please calm down."
"What imperial concubine?" The Western Palace was Tuozan's territory. Even Xue Pinggui couldn't interfere because the servants and guards here were all people she brought from Xiliang. Everyone here would only listen to her orders.
Looking at the people kneeling on the ground with eyes full of anger, Tuozan coldly snorted and pointed at them: "This princess should be the Empress. What imperial concubine, I'm not worthy."
Looking at the mess in the room and the frightened people, one of them walked out and sighed, "Princess, please calm down. Don't hurt your body."
Since the first day they moved in, this kind of scene would happen every two or three days.
"Aya, why do you think?" Tuozan frowned and looked at her. Suddenly, she ran over and grabbed her arm, shaking it: "Why, why isn't Wang Baochuan dead?"
In this palace, the only person who could brazenly curse the Empress to die early was Tortoise Zan.
Aya had served Tuozan since she was young. Of course, she knew the knot in her heart. Wang Baochuan's knot was this knot.
"Princess, she will die." Aya's eyes were gloomy. She kept comforting Tuozan and said in a soft voice: "She is just the daughter of a rebel. His Majesty felt guilty and gave her the title of Empress because of the past relationship and the many years of debt. But she doesn't have the life to be the Empress."
"The Phoenix Seal is with you. The power of the harem is in your hands. Wang Baochuan is nothing … And, don't worry, she won't live for long."
Aya's voice seemed to be able to bewitch people. Tuozan listened and really calmed down. She began to think. Her lips moved and she whispered: "Yes, you are right. She will die. She will die. "
Suddenly, Tuozan thought of something: "By the way, you … what you did won't be …"
"Princess, don't worry." Aya shook her head slightly. She reached out a hand and made a shushing gesture to stop her: "We didn't do anything."
"What?" Tuozan didn't understand.
Aya's expression became subtle. She leaned closer and whispered: "There is someone who is actually more anxious than us."
"You mean …" Tuozan's heart suddenly tightened. Emotions surged in her eyes. After a moment, she sneered: "I really overestimated him. Now that I think about it, Wang Baochuan is really pitiful."
She said pitiful words, but there was no sympathy on her face.
"So, we just need to wait quietly." Finally persuading her, Aya breathed a sigh of relief and helped her straighten her crooked hair ornaments. "Princess, there is no need to be impatient. You should think carefully about how to show your bearing as the mother of a nation at the banquet of peace."
