"The prince is still young, so don't worry about this matter now, but don't worry, Mr. Liu, I've put this matter in my heart. When the prince reaches two years old, I will facilitate this matter." Ling Xiao said with a smile: "Where is the prince? , please give Mr. Liu more snacks. If you have something that is inconvenient to tell Miss Fourth, you can come to me."

"Don't worry, Mr. Hou, Liu will keep it in mind." Liu Qian drank another cup of tea and said: "At this time, it is not easy for me to disappear for a long time, so Mr. Hou should send me back."

"Mr. Liu, go slowly." Ling Xiao arranged for four capable people to send Liu Qian back.

He himself sat in the pavilion for half an hour.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, in addition to correcting his title in accordance with the previous emperor's edict, he also specially promoted Gu Zhiqing.

Gu Zhiqing first wanted Zuo Xiangning's person, and now he wanted Zuo Xiangning's life.

He didn't believe that the emperor, who was always paying attention to every family in the capital, didn't know about this, but the emperor still promoted Gu Zhiqing.

He heard clearly the conversation between Zuo Xiangning and Liu Qian just now.

Zuo Xiangning asked Liu Qian to tell the emperor that the prince's illness had recovered.

But what she didn't know was that the emperor not only named the two pregnant concubines as imperial concubines, but also made two concubines, four concubines, five beauties and seven talented people.

Such a large-scale reward was followed by the birth of many princes and princesses, which was not a good thing for the frail little prince.

Ling Xiao returned to Zuo Xiangning's room and saw Zuo Xiangning leaning on the big Kang by the window with a frown on her face.

Seeing the man come in, Zuo Xiangning sat up and asked in a low voice: "Doctor Liu go back?"

"We're back." Ling Xiao pointed to the door and said, "Shall we have a conversation in the yard?"

"Yes." Zuo Xiangning nodded and asked the wet nurse to come in and look at Brother Hong.

She sat across from Ling Xiao and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that you didn't eat much at night, so I asked someone to set up the stove and roast a leg of lamb for you." Ling Xiao said with a smile.

"I'm not hungry." Zuo Xiangning shook her head and asked, "After I send Brother Hong to the palace, can I leave here?"

"Where do you want to go?" Ling Xiao asked.

"I want to go back to my own courtyard." Zuo Xiangning whispered: "Thank you very much for taking so long."

"You can't leave now. I haven't found all the people who want to kill you yet. Don't worry. Just wait. When I get rid of all those people, I won't stop you from going anywhere."

Zuo Xiangning let out a long sigh, feeling like a useless person who couldn't do anything.

"It won't take a few days." Ling Xiao coaxed her: "Before, I was busy with matters in the palace and didn't have time to spare. Now I have some free time. It won't take a few days to clean them up."

Zuo Xiangning sat there with a gloomy expression, pointing to the mask on his face, and said, "Why don't you get me a mask too? If I go out wearing it, no one will be able to recognize me."

The man smiled and said, "You think it's so comfortable wearing it?"

Zuo Xiangning whispered: "Then why don't you take it off?"

"The time has not come yet." The man asked someone to bring in the iron stove.

She has given him too many opportunities, but he doesn't want it!

"I'm really not hungry." Zuo Xiangning stood up and said, "I'll go in and see if Brother Hong is awake."

Ling Xiao looked at her background and asked the boy to take down the leg of lamb again.

One day later, Ling Xiao sent Zuo Xiangning and Brother Hong to the palace gate. Caihong and Caixia were waiting for them at the palace gate.

"The Queen is waiting for you in the side hall in front."

Caihong hugged Brother Hong, Caixia supported Zuo Xiangning, and the group of people walked hurriedly towards a small side hall in front.

Zuo Xiangning looked back at the man standing at the palace door, and followed Caixia to quicken her pace.

When they arrived at the entrance of the palace, Zuo Xiangrong saw them coming in and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Brother Hong in her arms and kissed his chubby little face twice before turning to ask Zuo Xiangning: "Brother Hong, is everything okay? "

Zuo Xiangning asked Caihong and Caixia to wait in the outer hall with their children, while she took Zuo Xiangrong to the inner room, held Zuo Xiangrong's hand tightly, and whispered: "Sister, listen to me, Brother Hong was poisoned last time and injured his heart and lungs. His condition is more serious than you think. Doctor Liu was afraid that his sister would be worried, so he only told the truth to the emperor. The day before yesterday, I asked Doctor Liu to take a closer look at Brother Hong. Doctor Liu said that Hong Brother Hong is much better now, and he prescribed a new prescription for Brother Hong."

Zuo Xiangning handed the prescription and a packet of medicine to the shocked Zuo Xiangrong.

"Tell the emperor tomorrow that you are not worried about Brother Hong's health, and let Doctor Liu come into the palace to take a look. Then Doctor Liu will tell the emperor that Brother Hong is in good health, and will prescribe a warm and tonic medicine for Brother Hong. You are here Every time you make medicine, add the medicine I just gave you." Zuo Xiangning looked at the door outside, and then whispered worriedly: "Take care of yourself and Brother Hong."

Zuo Xiangrong's fingers were cold. She held Zuo Xiangning's hand back and said in a trembling voice, "You mean to tell me to be on guard..."

"You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others." Zuo Xiangning said softly: "Brother Hong is too young, my sister's thoughts must be divided into three, one is the emperor, the second is Brother Hong, and the third is the harem. All the concubines."

Zuo Xiangrong understood what Zuo Xiangning meant, which was to tell her to be smarter, not even the emperor would believe it, and to always be vigilant and not relax.

Her dark eyes rolled slightly, she endured the astringency in her eyes, pursed her lips, and nodded, "I understand."

A voice greeting the emperor came from outside the door, and then the curtain was lifted, and the emperor walked in majestically wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.

"Xiang Ning is here!"

Zuo Xiangrong and Zuo Xiangning hurriedly came forward to greet the emperor.

"Quickly get back on your feet." The emperor gave Zuo Xiangning some help and asked her to get up quickly.

The emperor first looked at Brother Hong, and saw that Brother Hong had a pink face with big eyes open, and looked at him with a "giggle" smile. The emperor was in a happy mood, reached out and touched Brother Hong's soft hair, and looked at him. Zuo Xiangrong said: "Brother Hong looks like he has gained a lot of weight."

Zuo Xiangrong's eyes looked deeply at the emperor and Brother Hong and his son.

Zuo Xiangning pulled off Zuo Xiangrong's sleeve with her hands.

Zuo Xiangrong looked at Zuo Xiangning blankly.

The emperor walked up to Zuo Xiangrong, looked down at her, and asked strangely: "Why is the queen still crying?"

Zuo Xiangrong woke up when Xiang Ning pulled her sleeve.

She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said with a sad face: "I'm sorry for Xiang Ning. She has suffered so much in the past few months. Do you see how thin she has become? She finally ran back to the capital, but... You can only hide here and there, and you can't even go back home. What will you do in the future?"

The emperor looked at Zuo Xiangning and found that she was indeed much thinner than before.

"Xiang Ning is the queen's sister, just like my sister. After a while, I will find an opportunity to give Xiang Ning a new identity." The emperor comforted Zuo Xiangrong: "Xiang Ning enters the palace this time. Let her live in the palace first, so that you don’t have to worry about her living outside.”

Zuo Xiangrong doesn't want Zuo Xiangning to live in the palace now.

Now the harem is in a mess. Seeing that they have no one to rely on in the future, the former emperor's concubines are all thinking about plundering the valuable things in the palace. However, these newly appointed concubines are trying every means to compete for favor and authority. There are hundreds of people in this harem. No woman is idle.

She didn't want her sister to see the bad things she did.
