Xiao Xixi raised her head and met his deep, dark eyes, her heartbeat stopped for a moment.

But soon she was back to normal.

She blinked and said innocently.

"No."

Luo Qinghan looked at her deeply.

His eyes seemed to be looking into the bottom of her heart.

Xiao Xixi didn't avoid it this time, and let him look at him with a very calm expression.

Luo Qinghan: "I hope you didn't lie to me again this time."

These words were very light, but Xiao Xixi was stunned.

The sweet and delicious pastries were not as sweet as before.

After leaving the imperial study, Xiao Xixi took a carriage back to Yunxiu Palace.

She had someone go and invite Imperial Doctor Fang over.

It didn't take long for Fang Wujiu to come with a medical kit on his back.

Xiao Xixi lay under the grape trellis in the backyard, basking in the warm sun, with a fan on her face, looking lazy.

At this time, the grape trellis was already full of grape vines, and there were clusters of grape flowers among the green branches and leaves.

Fang Wujiu put the medicine box next to him and asked, "Are you uncomfortable?"

Xiao Xixi took down the fan, sat up and looked at Fang Wujiu.

"You're here, sit down, I have nothing to do, I just want to ask you for a favor."

Fang Wujiu sat next to him, and immediately a maid served him chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea.

Xiao Xixi waved her hand and motioned for the people who were waiting beside her to step back.

Fang Wujiu picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and asked in a warm voice.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Xiao Xixi: "Concubine Tuberculosis may already know my identity."

Fang Wujiu squinted: "You want me to get rid of her?"

Xiao Xixi shook her head: "You don't need to do anything about Concubine Tuberculosis. I have already told the emperor about it. He will make people stare at Concubine Tuberculosis."

Fang Wujiu: "Then what do you want me to do?"

Xiao Xixi: "The emperor suddenly asked me why I didn't want to restore my identity today. I didn't tell the truth. I hope you don't tell me either."

Fang Wujiu: "Are you going to keep such a secret from him?"

Xiao Xixi was silent.

She even acquiesced.

Fang Wujiu: "He is not a fool. Even if we don't tell him, he will find out sooner or later."

Xiao Xixi still didn't speak.

Fang Wujiu: "Are you afraid that he will be angry after knowing the truth?"

Xiao Xixi said in a muffled voice: "I know him, he may be surprised, but he shouldn't be angry with me because of this kind of thing."

Fang Wujiu: "If that's the case, why don't you hide it?"

Xiao Xixi looked down at the fan in her hand, and only spoke softly after a long time.

"If I confessed to him, I would make him my accomplice. I can't let him be charged with murdering his father. As long as I don't tell him, even if there is an unfortunate incident in the future, it will be my fault alone. , has nothing to do with him."

Fang Wujiu stared at her in a daze, and after a long time he slowly let out a breath.

"Don't you think you're so stupid?"

Xiao Xixi: "I believe that if it were him, he would make the same choice."

If you like someone, you want to make him a better life, and don't want to hurt him a little bit.

Fang Wujiu touched her head and sighed silently.

Xiao Xixi looked at him eagerly: "Can you promise to help me keep it a secret?"

Fang Wujiu reluctantly replied: "You are my junior sister, and I am naturally on your side."

This is agreeing to help her.

Xiao Xixi immediately smiled.

"Thank you, Big Brother!"

That afternoon, the emperor sent Cao Nuo to send three hundred taels of silver to Li Qingyan, which was considered a travel allowance for him.

Along with the cash, he was given a small amulet.

Cao Nuo warned in a low voice, "Your Majesty specifically asked Li Shilang to ask for this amulet. It is said that it is useful to exorcise evil spirits and avoid disasters. I hope Li Qingyan can carry it close to her body, and don't lose it."

Li Qingyan thanked him again and again, and personally sent Cao Nuo out of the house.

When he returned to the study, he took out the amulet from his sleeve. Looking at the scarlet handwriting on the amulet, he always felt a little familiar.

He took off the purse he was wearing and took out a transport charm from the purse.

This transporting charm was given to him by Concubine Xiao, and he has been carrying it close to his body for the past two years. Thanks to this transporting charm, he finally no longer suffers from bad luck, and his life is quite smooth.

Li Qingyan put the amulet and the transfer amulet together, and carefully compared the handwriting on them, the more they looked, the more similar they felt.

It is very likely that these two things came from the same person.

Is this amulet something that Concubine Xiao left to the emperor?

If this is the case, this amulet should be very important to the emperor, but the emperor gave it to him.

Li Qingyan was greatly touched.

For the first twenty years of his life, he was immersed in bad luck and unhappy. It was not until he met the emperor that his life began to change.

The emperor's kindness to him made him unforgettable.

Facing the direction of the palace, he kowtowed seriously.

"Going to Fengyang County, Wei Chen will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

The next day, Li Qingyan packed her luggage and officially set off for Fengyang County.

He only brought four followers and one book boy when he went out this time. Those four followers were all trainers, and they were very skilled. They could not only help with some chores, but also ensure Li Qingyan's safety.

Inside the Misty Rain Palace.

The concubine concubine pondered for a whole night.

After she learned that the imperial concubine was Concubine Xiao, her first reaction was to inform the imperial concubine.

But who should she report to?

Now that the Empress Dowager is not in the palace, she can only go to the emperor if she wants to report.

But she has no evidence.

It is impossible for the emperor to believe her just by the touch of her lips.

The emperor loves the imperial concubine so much, maybe he will think in turn that she is talking nonsense on purpose and wants to discredit the imperial concubine.

She would have lost more than her gain since then.

After thinking about it, she still felt that this matter should not be said by herself, and it was best for the imperial concubine to admit it herself.

As long as the imperial concubine admits it herself, even the emperor has no choice but to protect her.

When the time comes, the Empress Dowager will come forward, and together with the pressure from the clansmen, no matter how favored the imperial concubine is, the emperor will have to deal with the imperial concubine in order to maintain his status.

As for how to do it?

The concubine had already made up her mind.

She originally wanted her family to help her, but after thinking about it, with the emperor's character, she would definitely investigate it to the end. If it was found out that the matter had something to do with the Bai family, she would be implicated in the family.

So this matter must not have anything to do with the Bai family.

It is best to find someone who has no relationship with the Bai family at all, and who has a high enough status, and preferably has a grudge against the imperial concubine.

The concubine tuberculosis quickly locked on the target.

...

At the annual spring equinox, the emperor led civil and military officials out of the palace to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens, in order to pray that God would bless the country and the people this year, the weather would be good, and the people would have a great harvest.

The concubines in the palace will also be dispatched together.

In previous years, the queen took the lead, but now the queen has not been established. As the woman with the highest status in the harem, the imperial concubine naturally took over this responsibility.
