Fu Guan said "Sorry", and the surrounding atmosphere seemed to be even worse.Lou Xiyue resisted not giving him a supercilious look, and kicked him, but did not look at him: "Stay away."

"..." Fu looked at the shallow marks on his eyes and feet, and confessed his guilt.But when he raised his head again, he saw Lou Xiyue looking out of the window pretending to be a cover-up.

If he hadn't caught a glimpse of her slightly red ears, he would really have thought that the other party was angry.Thanks to such a glance, Fu Guan's heart suddenly softened, and then he felt a little happy for no reason.

He coughed lightly and said: "Speaking of which, I went to the side hall to look for you just now, why did you rush back from outside? Where did you go?"

Speaking of this, Lou Xiyue remembered: "I didn't go anywhere, I just walked around the Qianyuan Hall." She said seriously: "You know, the emperor is at the back of the side hall, and another Is it a 'Palace of Asking Questions'? It is exclusively for his alchemy and medicine."

Fu Guan: "I've never heard of this. Previously, I only knew that His Majesty pursued the way of health preservation, and specially raised a group of Taoist priests to develop some health pills for him to prolong life."

But those Taoist priests were previously placed in the Xiyuan Institute near the Imperial Hospital, and the health-preserving pills they used were also medicinal pills for invigorating qi and blood, which are really good for regulating internal breath.

Lou Xiyue said: "But as far as I can see, those Taoist priests are not refining some health pills - that is the 'elixir' of ascension to heaven." She said:
"I can see clearly and clearly that the cinnabar, saltpeter and other things on the table are not fake, and there are several burning alchemy furnaces in the pharmacy."

Taking this kind of medicine, not to mention prolonging life, but not reducing lifespan is an anecdote in the world.

Lou Xiyue asked again: "Have you met the emperor, how do you think he is now? The elixir offered by the Taoist priests is not edible. If he wants to live a few more years, he should stop thinking about asking for the medicine as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Fu Guan sneered, and said: "The Holy Majesty insists on this, and others may not be able to persuade him. Besides, he is seriously ill now, so maybe he thinks those pills are 'the more the better'."

Lou Xiyue raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Seriously ill, how sick is it?"

Fu Guan: "It is said that he was infected with the wind and cold. But after the wind and cold, the Holy Majesty has reached the point where he can't get out of bed, and he is showing some signs of terminal illness. I think it is due to years of severe illness, not entirely because of the wind and cold."

Lou Xiyue was surprised: "When we left Beijing, his body was still healthy, how could he become so ill all of a sudden."

She couldn't help but muttered: You still take "elixir" when you are so sick?It really doesn't seem like life is long enough.

Fu Guan: "The so-called illness comes like a mountain, that's probably the case. Besides, the Holy Majesty has been taking the 'elixir' for some time. If this continues, it will only make things worse.

"And the more sick he is, the more violent the pills he takes will be. If things go on like this, his body will definitely be deficient, and there will be no way to recover."

Lou Xiyue felt that there was something weird in it: "Since this is the case, couldn't the imperial physician diagnose it? Why didn't they stop it?"

This is the second thing Fu Guan wants to say: "I suspect that the Holy Majesty took the elixir, and the crown prince has tampered with it."

He thought of the emperor's expression and eyes when he left the Qianyuan Hall, as well as the prince Xiang Feng's unscrupulous attitude. After thinking about it carefully, he vaguely felt that the emperor at that time was like a fish on a chopping board controlled by the prince.

Lou Xiyue asked puzzledly, "What do you mean...?"

Fu Guan pressed the center of his eyebrows with a headache, and said, "It's nothing, I probably thought wrong."

Even if he didn't say it clearly, Lou Xiyue could guess in her heart.She said: "Since those Taoist priests were recruited by Prince Xiang Feng, maybe they have already colluded with each other in private. Do you think this capital is about to change hands?"

After the words were finished, Fu Guan turned his head to look at her deeply, and said, "If you say such outrageous words, you will not be afraid of being heard."

Lou Xiyue: "...There are no outsiders here. Or are you going to report on me?"

Hearing this, Fu Guan smiled and did not answer, but said: "The current situation is turbulent, and there is no conclusion about the future situation. In the future, we have to adapt to the situation."

Lou Xiyue also felt this way.

This time back to Beijing, the court has undergone many changes.

Not to mention the series of impacts brought about by the emperor's serious illness, Xiang Feng's conferment of the crown prince alone is enough to cause people to be vigilant-there are new and old grudges between Xuanping Palace and the prince, and the prince will definitely target him everywhere in the future. .

And Linlang Pavilion is backed by the big tree of the prince, and it is even more difficult to bring down the mastermind behind it.

Lou Xiyue couldn't help feeling worried.

*
It was already three quarters of an hour after the carriage of Prince Xuanping's mansion arrived at the mansion.

They had just returned home, and after a short rest, they were invited to the eldest princess's yard.

"My lord, my concubine, the eldest princess has been waiting for a long time." The maid waiting outside opened the curtain for the two of them: "Please—"

Fu Guan took a step behind, and waited for Lou Xiyue to enter the main hall.

As soon as Lou Xiyue entered the main hall, she saw a noble lady sitting in the hall.She saluted: "Granddaughter-in-law greets the eldest princess."

The eldest princess nodded, and immediately gave Lou Xiyue a seat, and then Fu Guan also walked in: "Grandmother."

Seeing him, the eldest princess had a smile on her face.She asked, "Going to Jiangnan, is everything okay?"

"According to grandma, everything is fine." Fu Guan replied: "This trip to the south has gained a lot, and my grandson also has many things to report to grandma."

The eldest princess waved her hand: "I already know the situation in Jiangnan, so you don't need to tell me about business matters."

Then, she asked Lou Xiyue a few more words, it was nothing more than asking about the current situation of the second elder of the Ban family, and the superficial effort of concern was well done.

With a gentle smile, Lou Xiyue answered one by one without haste.

After hearing this, the eldest princess had a calm expression.Then he asked about Lou Xiyue's health to show his concern, and then sent Lou Xiyue back to his room under the pretext of being tired.

And Fu Guan stayed alone.

The eldest princess backed away, and then asked seriously: "What do you think about your daughter-in-law?"

"What do you think, my grandson can't quite understand." Fu Guan said.

The eldest princess: "I can see from the way you looked at her just now, it seems that it's not as simple as 'raising her in the mansion, providing her with delicious food and drink'. Are you ready to accept her?"

Fu Guan has been brought up by her since he was a child, so the eldest princess can tell what he is thinking at a glance.

In that short moment just now, Fu Guan stared at his wife no less than a dozen times.

What does it mean for a man to look at a woman like this? The eldest princess has experienced it, and she knows the meaning behind it very well.

Fu Guan couldn't directly say that he and Lou Xiyue were close friends now, let alone that they already had a deep cooperation and could be regarded as allies of the alliance, so he replied: "You also said that she is the granddaughter-in-law Son, sooner or later, grandson will fully accept her. I can't help but grandson, this palace, and you, grandma, will also accept her."
