Cause and Effect
In reality, the three of them had heard Li Helan's angry roar from outside the hall.
Li Qitian pretended not to hear because his younger sister was so fickle and had been caught red-handed by the two parties. It was too embarrassing.
Pang Xiao's attention was completely focused on Qin Yining, who had fainted on the ground. He was so frightened that his soul almost flew away. He had no time to care about anything else.
Ji Zeyu looked deeply at Li Helan and then stood behind Li Qitian. He was unwilling to say another word, and his expression was unprecedentedly stiff.
The Empress Dowager's hands were cold, but she still had a proper and noble smile on her face. She said: "It's like this. Anyang drank some wine and became drunk. He said some drunken things. Wangfei fell because she wasn't paying attention. She might have knocked herself out. Aijia has already sent for the imperial physician. "
Pang Xiao's fists were tightly clenched behind his back. If he hadn't forced himself to calm down, he probably would have cursed out loud.
His good wife had been healthy when she had just been sent over. She knew how to cooperate with him. He had just walked away for a short while and she had collapsed like this!
Pang Xiao strode forward and half carried Qin Yining, letting her rest her head on his arm. He wanted to show concern, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously for fear of arousing more suspicion.
Therefore, the onlookers saw Pang Xiao holding Qin Yining in his arms with a gloomy face.
Everyone couldn't tell if he was worried about his wife or if he felt that his dignity had been violated.
Li Helan had already calmed down by now. Because he was too angry just now, he had yelled and screamed so loudly that his head was still buzzing.
But because she had calmed down and regained her rationality, she seemed to have caused a great disaster.
Her words had been heard by Prince Consort Ji!
Li Helan's heart was in a mess. He carefully glanced at Ji Zeyu and realized that Ji Zeyu was still as cold as usual. It was as if even if the sky were to fall, he would still have the same expression.
Li Helan felt his heart turn cold.
During this period of time, she had ordered people to deliver food boxes, clothes, and embroidery to Ji Zeyu. She was afraid that all her efforts to please him had gone to waste. She didn't know if Ji Zeyu had heard her just now. If she heard it, she might not have the chance to win this man's heart in this lifetime.
How could men like Ji Zeyu and Pang Xiao, who were brave men who killed enemies on the battlefield, tolerate their wives constantly thinking about someone else and making such a big fuss?
This was equivalent to slapping Ji Zeyu's mouth, and it was done in front of an outsider.
The reason why Ji Zeyu remained silent was because she was the eldest princess and he was the prince consort of Princess Shang.
If it wasn't for this identity, she would have received a divorce letter a long time ago.
Li Helan looked at Ji Zeyu's handsome face and then looked at Pang Xiao who was squatting on the ground and hugging Qin Yining without saying a word. For a moment, she felt like the chicken had flown away and the eggs had been broken.
"The imperial physician is here!"
Just as everyone's mind was racing, the imperial physician had already been dragged in by the eunuchs.
When he saw that Your Majesty and the two gods of war were here, the imperial physician was so frightened that he knelt down with a plop. "This old official, give …"
"No need for formalities. Quickly take a look at the princess consort."
"Yes!" Hearing the urgency in Li Qitian's voice, the imperial physician didn't dare to delay and hurried to Qin Yining's side to treat him.
On the way here, the eunuch who invited him had already hinted at the Empress Dowager's intentions. The imperial physician originally wanted to follow the Empress Dowager's instructions.
But who would have thought that the two former commanders-in-chief of the country's two armies, the fiendish Wang Ye and the prince consort, would stare at him so fixedly? Even Your Majesty was eyeing him covetously from the side.
For a moment, the imperial physician didn't know how to respond. If he listened to the Empress Dowager, he might offend others. If he didn't listen, he might not offend others, but he would offend the Empress Dowager.
This matter, no matter what he did, it would be wrong!
Seeing the sweat on the imperial physician's forehead, Pang Xiao gritted his teeth in worry and asked in a low voice, "How is she?"
The imperial physician's heart skipped a beat and he blurted out, "The princess consort's body is fine. Perhaps she was agitated and suddenly fainted. This …"
After speaking a few times, he remembered the Empress Dowager's instructions and his face paled in shock.
Pang Xiao asked, "What agitation?"
"It's, it's, emotions." The imperial physician didn't dare to look into the Empress Dowager's eyes and stammered, "Extreme anger, extreme sadness, extreme joy, all of these can cause emotional fluctuations. It's not strange that she fainted because of this."
He had already told the truth and he couldn't change it now. The imperial physician could only bite the bullet and tell the truth.
"So that's how it is." Pang Xiao turned to look at the Empress Dowager and Li Helan. "It seems that my humble wife didn't faint because of a collision. Since there isn't anything serious, this subject will take her back. "The last sentence was directed at Li Qitian.
Li Qitian was so angry that his face was ashen. But he had no reason to refuse Pang Xiao's request. He didn't have anyone in the cabinet. The only person who could speak for him was Pang Xiao. At this point, he still wanted to rope in Pang Xiao to do great things. He didn't expect that the two troublemakers in the inner palace would lie through their teeth and offend him.
"Since there isn't anything serious, it's good to take her back to the fu to recuperate." Li Qitian nodded in concern.
Pang Xiao picked up Qin Yining. He suddenly thought of something and looked down to ask the nervous imperial physician.
"This imperial physician, since you have seen my humble wife's pulse, I will have to trouble you to take care of my humble wife's pulse in the future."
The words caused the imperial physician's anxious heart to fall back to its original place. Because Pang Xiao wanted him to take care of Wang Fei's pulse, even if the Empress Dowager was angry, she wouldn't dare to harm his life. The imperial physician understood that Pang Xiao was protecting him because he had spoken the truth and was afraid that he would be affected.
The imperial physician hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, this old one will do his best."
Pang Xiao nodded and then looked at the Empress Dowager and the tear-stained Li Helan.
"This King really wants to know why a person who was fine when he was brought into the palace this morning suddenly fainted when he was talking with the Empress Dowager and Anyang Princess Royal in Ci 'an Palace. Also, what did Anyang Princess Royal say that she went crazy after eating too much? "
In his anger, Pang Xiao's dark tone made people feel like they were suffocating. Even Li Qitian, as the Emperor, felt a wave of pressure that was hard to conceal.
The Empress Dowager and Princess Royal were two women and didn't dare to meet Pang Xiao's murderous gaze.
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Li Qitian ordered people to prepare carriages and horses. He also ordered the imperial physician to treat Qin Yining.
The imperial physician acknowledged and then followed Pang Xiao who was carrying Qin Yining out of Ci 'an Palace.
When Pang Xiao's figure was far away, only the Empress Dowager, Li Helan, Ji Zeyu, and Li Qitian were left in Ci 'an Palace. Li Qitian finally angrily flipped over the table.
Cups, plates, and teacups fell to the ground and the broken porcelain let out a sharp scream, making people even more irritated.
"What's going on! Didn't we say that Pang Zhixi is one of our trusted officials and we still want to use him? Why are you bullying his wife? What are you thinking? Are you deliberately dragging us down and making us look bad? "
"Imperial brother, you misunderstood. It's true that Lan 'er drank a bit of wine and couldn't control her emotions. That Qin Clan member was still randomly showing off in front of Lan' er. Even if she fainted from anger, that's her own business."
"You still dare to quibble?" Li Qitian angrily snorted, "Do you think everyone is blind and stupid? You're insulting two of our trusted officials. What do you want us to do? We value Ji Lan and want to become a family member, so we chose him to be your son-in-law. What's wrong with Ji Lan? Hm? With his military exploits that shook the Tatar Empire, his outstanding ability and appearance, how is he not a good match for you? Speak! "
Li Qitian had always doted on Li Helan and rarely lost his temper at him, especially now that there were other people present.
Li Helan was shocked by Li Qitian's question.
His lips trembled as he fearfully said, "No, Imperial brother, you misunderstood. The son-in-law also misunderstood. I didn't mean that."
"That's right, Anyang is indeed not that kind of girl. Emperor, you're Anyang's brother and practically watched her grow up. Don't you know what kind of person she is?" The Empress Dowager hastily tried to smooth things over.
Li Qitian was so angry that he was about to explode. At this time, he didn't care that the Empress Dowager was his mother and immediately said, "If it weren't for you spoiling her, would she have become like this? You can't have her, so you begin to be cynical and feel that everyone in the world owes you. You can't share my burdens and you're causing trouble everywhere. What use do we have for a younger sister like you? "
"Your Majesty!" The Empress Dowager heard this and her face turned green. Could it be that Li Qitian wanted to kill Li Helan?
The Empress Dowager pulled Li Qitian's hand, "Your Majesty, don't be impulsive. Lan 'er is your younger sister."
"Yes, she is our younger sister, but what did she help us with? She can't do anything well, and she's causing trouble everywhere! "
Li Qitian walked in front of Li Helan and pointed at her nose as he scolded, "I chose a husband for you, but you don't live your life well. Instead, you talk nonsense and even have the courage to fight with the wife of an official of the court. It's not for anything else, but to fight for her husband. Do you not have any face if this is spread out? If you don't have any face, we'll lose face for you! "
"Royal brother!" Li Helan looked at Li Qitian in disbelief and sobbed, "Royal brother, how can you say this to Lan 'er!"
"Did we say something wrong? Whether we're right or not, you know best in your heart. From now on, you'll scram back to the eldest princess' palace and reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors. Every day, you'll copy the Woman's Precepts until we're satisfied before you come out. If you perform well and regain your previous understanding, we'll let you out. Otherwise, you'll have to copy the Woman's Precepts for the rest of your life, do you hear me! "
Li Helan felt like she had been struck by lightning and her body swayed.
But Ji Zeyu looked down like he didn't see anything. Even if Li Helan was by his side, he wouldn't reach out to help her.
"Royal brother, Lan 'er doesn't want it. Lan 'er doesn't want it! "
"Don't want it? You want to go against the decree?" Li Qitian asked with a calm face.
Li Helan began to tremble in fear.
