Chapter 352 Night Banquet in Qianjiao Garden (17)

In the Hall of Fanghua, Xiang Heng and Xiang Jie exchanged glasses of wine with the ministers with smiles on their faces. They were so cordial that they didn't look like a father and son who had just met after a long separation. The familiarity and tacit understanding between them was much better than facing Xiang. It's even more natural when it's windy.

Lou Xiyue looked at them secretly, and couldn't help but murmur in her heart, almost thinking that Xiang Feng was actually the wandering man who had been lost for many years.

Although there was a preliminary inference, one thing Lou Xiyue still couldn't figure out was when did Xiang Heng find out that Shangguan Jie was the fifth prince? How did the two of them meet?

She lowered her head and ate her tea absentmindedly, and couldn't help but recall all her previous interactions with Shangguan Jie.

First, there was the encounter in a carriage accident at the palace gate, then there was the difficulty in the prince's palace, and then there was the heart-to-heart talk in the Shangguan palace... Shangguan Jie gradually got closer to her and Fu Guan through coincidences.

Lou Xiyue is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves. At this moment, it is inevitable to speculate from the worst angle - could it be that from the beginning, Shangguan Jie spared no effort to form an alliance with Fu Guan, but actually came with a purpose?

Did he want to use Fu Guan's power to overthrow Xiang Feng, thereby supporting himself to ascend to the throne and become the new crown prince?
Thinking of this, Lou Xiyue's expression changed slightly. If this was true, then she and Fu Guan were really like clowns, being played by Xiang Heng and Xiang Feng.

Once she came to this conclusion, Lou Xiyue frowned - it felt uncomfortable to be teased. She wanted to find out as soon as possible, so she planned to meet Fu Guan alone.

But just as she made up her mind, before she could get up, she suddenly heard a painful cry of "Ouch" coming from beside her.

As he said that, Xiang Heng glanced at Lou Xiyue and said, "Princess Xuanping, Madam He, please help me take care of her. If you need anything, just send the palace servants to send a message and ask them to do it."

Lou Xiyue paused for a moment, then asked with concern: "What's going on? What's wrong with Mrs. He?" She squatted down slightly and subconsciously checked the other person's pulse:
"Did you eat something wrong?"

The original plan was shelved, and the patients came first, so Lou Xiyue could only nod and agree: "Yes."

As she spoke, she glanced at the meal on the table.

When the maid waiting on the side saw this, she immediately ran forward: "Old madam, old madam? What's wrong with you?"

Their movements soon attracted the attention of others.

Xiang Heng nodded and ordered the palace servants: "Go and ask the imperial doctor to come quickly, and be quick - in addition, you guys should help the old lady to the back hall to rest."

Mrs. He seemed to be in unbearable pain and had frequent cold sweats. She shouted softly: "I, I have pain in my abdomen, or maybe..."

The palace maid quickly said: "No, the meals are all sent from the imperial kitchen, and have been tested by eunuchs who specialize in poison testing. The dishes are non-toxic." She turned pale with anxiety:
"Perhaps the old lady has gastrointestinal discomfort, so..."

"This..." Xiang Jie said: "The person was originally good, but something happened during the banquet. This needs to be done carefully."

Lou Xiyue turned around and saw that Mrs. He, who was fine just now, was holding her stomach and leaning down and fell down!

There are imperial doctors on duty every day in the imperial medical hall, and there are imperial doctors on call at all times. Therefore, as soon as the eunuch went to call someone, it didn't take long for an imperial doctor to come quickly with a medicine box.

Lou Xiyue replied: "When I return to the Holy Land, the old lady is feeling unwell and has severe pain in her abdomen. I'm afraid I need to ask the imperial doctor to take a look."

Xiang Heng and Xiang Jie came over and asked, "What happened? What happened to Mrs. He?"

After that, she called several eunuchs and maids to help, and together they sent Mrs. He to the back hall of Fanghua Palace.

It's just that Mrs. He got sick very quickly, but in a blink of an eye she had developed a high fever. When the imperial doctor arrived, the man was already confused with fever.

"This is not a serious illness. It's just that the old lady is old and her spleen and stomach are particularly fragile. In addition, maybe she was a little gluttonous today and ate too much cold food, so she has gastrointestinal discomfort." The imperial doctor prescribed a prescription and warned. :
"Moreover, winter is about to begin at this time. The wind is cool at night and the pressure from inside and outside causes the fever. If it is a young and middle-aged person, it will be better. After a while, it will be fine.

"But the old lady's physique is weaker, so the symptoms are more serious." Lou Xiyue asked: "Then in your opinion, what should we do now?"

"Wei Chen has already gone to prepare the medicine according to the prescription. After the old lady takes the medicine, she will have high fever several times at night. During this period, someone needs to be at your side at all times." The imperial doctor said:

"In addition, the old lady should still have symptoms of diarrhea at night. This is a normal phenomenon. Just be careful not to let the cold wind blow again.

"After getting through this night, the fever should be gone by early tomorrow morning."

Lou Xiyue nodded and expressed her understanding: "Okay, then please ask the imperial doctor to take care of the old lady's medicine - and also, you go and report this matter to the Holy Sage. The Holy Sage does not need to worry."

The eunuch received the order and immediately went to report the matter.

Then, Lou Xiyue left several palace maids and nuns behind, asking them to take turns taking care of the sick Mrs. He.

After finishing her work, she felt a little sleepy.

Lou Xiyue sat in the back hall for a while, then got up and walked in the courtyard for a while, trying to wake up. But what she didn't expect was that while she was taking a walk, someone walked over to her.

The person who came was quite tall, and he was carrying a candle, so it was hard to see his face for a while.

Lou Xiyue was stunned for a while, thinking it was Fu Guanxun coming over. He was about to speak, but when he listened carefully to the other party's footsteps, he felt that something was not right. Then, she heard the other party say:
"I didn't see the princess in the back hall just now. I never thought that the princess would be walking here."

The person who came was none other than Xiang Jie, who was facing the moon tonight.

Xiang Jie came to Lou Xiyue with a slight smile on his face: "Expose yourself more deeply. Your Majesty, you have to be careful not to catch the cold."

Lou Xiyue was stunned for a moment, but then came back to his senses. She responded calmly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am about to go back." She asked:
"His Highness is looking for me now, but what's the important matter? Is it because the Holy One has something to say, or is there something going on with Mrs. He?"

Xiang Jie smiled and said: "No, no... I just didn't have a chance to talk to you during the dinner. Now that I have some free time, my father asked me to come over and see how the old lady is doing, so I stopped by to see you. "

Lou Xiyue: "Really? The imperial doctor has already diagnosed and treated the old lady, but now the old lady needs to rest and should not be moved. I am afraid she will have to stay in the palace tonight."

"It's reasonable that things happened suddenly. Father will forgive me." Xiang Jie said.

"Well." Lou Xiyue asked, "What other instructions does Your Highness have? If there is nothing else to do, I will go back to take care of the old lady."

"Wait." Xiang Jie stopped her: "Don't leave in a hurry. I want to say a few more words to you."

Lou Xiyue lowered her head slightly, then broke away from Xiang Jie's hand, and her tone became cold: "Your Highness, if you have anything else to say, just say it, it's not appropriate to touch someone."

Hearing this, Xiang Jie sighed helplessly: "Oh, I knew that after tonight, the princess would definitely have some misunderstandings.

"But I must explain that I did not intentionally deceive the Princess, nor did I deliberately hide my identity. I did not have any ulterior motives in approaching the Princess. I hope the Princess will give me a chance to explain and forgive me this time, okay?"

Lou Xiyue: "...?"

She didn't understand. It was clear that Xiang's explanation was in authentic Daxuan official language. Why didn't she understand it when she heard it?

Shangguan Jie, or Xiang Jie, what exactly does he mean by these words?
