Nan Xi's anger was expected by Roubi, and then she continued:
"The imperial physician never said anything bad about Queen Jingxian during her pregnancy. They always praised Queen Jingxian for her good health and the health of her fetus. But why did she have an accident during delivery?"

"What did the imperial doctor say when my mother died?" Nan Xi asked.

"That night, a total of three concubines in the harem gave birth, and the concubine was also among them, so she was not present. However, after the concubine gave birth, she heard that something had happened to Queen Jingxian, so she immediately went to inquire, but there was no result. When we found the imperial doctor, he was hesitant and couldn't explain why the person died." Roubi told Nan Xi the general situation of the year.

Nan Xi's eyes were full of doubts:
"Then what did my father say? Didn't my father suspect anything?"

After Nan Xi entered the palace, she heard about how loving her father, the emperor, and her mother were. If her mother disappeared for no reason, it was impossible for her father not to hold her accountable!
"Originally, Queen Jingxian, Concubine and Concubine Lin were all due to give birth for some time, but on that day, all three of us had accidents. His Majesty was outside the palace and only after hearing about what happened in the palace. It was late. Concubine Lin was the first to give birth to the eldest prince. After giving birth to the eldest prince, the midwife said that there was another one in her belly. During the period when she was giving birth to the third princess, Di Ji was born. Less than an hour after Di Ji was born, The third princess was born, and then the fourth princess became the concubine."

"You mean, when my mother gave birth to me, my father had not returned to the palace? What about after that? Will my father be held accountable after that?"

"Of course there is. Many people died in the palace that night, but it was all because of His Majesty's anger. The real reason for Queen Jingxian's death was not found out. In addition, the Queen of Heaven was just born. Your Majesty endured the grief and cooked the meal. Regarding Queen Jingxian’s funeral.”

Having said this, Roubi couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and her hands on her knees clenched.

"After that, His Majesty did not allow anyone to mention this matter again. All the people involved in this matter were dealt with. The concubine originally thought it was an accident. After all, a woman's birth is a journey behind closed doors, but until A year ago, when I was on my way out of the palace to visit the bride, I met Mrs. Wen who delivered the baby of the late Queen, and I found out that there was something hidden."

"Someone is after Po Wen, right?" Nan Xi asked coldly.

Roubi nodded and continued:
"Yes, when I met Po Wen, I was already dying. She only told me that there was a secret behind the death of Queen Jingxian, and then she died."

Hearing this, Nan Xi already roughly understood the cause and effect, and her expression was very ugly.

Finally, she looked at Roubi with doubt in her eyes:

"Since you said you were the queen's personal servant, why did you end up crawling into the father's bed?"

Roubi didn't feel guilty at all when asked about this. She stood up, knelt down towards Nan Xi, and then answered very calmly:
"Emperor Ji Mingjian, if I have a choice, even if I die, I will not betray Queen Jingxian. The reason why my concubine and Your Majesty were involved was a complete accident! At that time, Queen Jingxian was seriously injured and could not sleep with you. Your Majesty She was hit by that kind of medicine again and couldn't get relief. Finally, the Empress proposed to let her slaves sleep with her. Afterwards, His Majesty, out of pity and guilt for Empress Jingxian, made the concubine a soft concubine. The concubine and Your Majesty only had that experience. Once, the concubine has never exceeded it since then!"

Concubine Rou was weeping every word, so she didn't think she was lying.

For the first time, Nan Xi's eyes flashed with a hint of unbearability, towards the woman in front of her.

She stepped forward and helped the concubine up:
"I am very grateful to you for informing me about this matter. I will definitely avenge my mother's revenge."

Hearing Nan Xi's affirmative answer, Roubi's eyes were filled with light.

The main purpose of concubine Rou's coming to Tianfeng Palace today was for this reason. After finishing the matter, she left.

After Roubi left, Nan Xi fell into deep thought.

Now it seems that there are really many people who know that she has a dual personality:
Xia Houqi, Nansun Wuhui, his father and concubine all knew it very well, as well as Feiyun Huanyun who was serving her closely. Feiyun might be simple-minded and not think too much, but Huanyun must have noticed something. .

"Di Ji frowned, what was she thinking about?"

Xia Houqi's voice interrupted Nan Xi's contemplation, and Nan Xi raised her eyes to look at him.

The moment the two people's eyes met, Xia Houqi knew that it was her who was back.

"Ahem, you're back."

As soon as Xia Houqi saw her, he remembered the embarrassing situation when Nan Xi forcibly summoned Chu Xi after the two of them kissed.

When Nan Xi saw Xia Houqi abandoning her, she also remembered the unhappy breakup that day.

Seeing that Nan Xi ignored him, Xia Houqi took the initiative to get closer.

"I heard from your two little maids that your concubine was here just now? Did she come to thank you?" "Yes."

"Then what else did she say?"

Nan Xi tilted her head and looked at him appraisingly:
"What do you think she will tell me?"

"I don't know, so I'm asking you."

Nan Xi curled her lips and showed a clear smile:

"It seems that the prince knows more than I do. Why don't you guess what the concubine said? If you guess correctly, there will be a reward."

When Xia Houqi heard that there was a reward, a trace of malicious intent flashed in his eyes.

"Any rewards are fine?"

"It depends on whether your guess is right or not."

Hearing this, Xia Houqi curled his lips, and then directly said the accurate answer:

"Concubine Rou must have come to tell you that there was a secret behind Queen Jingxian's death, and she wanted you to find out the real culprit who killed Queen Jingxian, right?"

Xia Houqi looked so confident, like an arrogant cat, with his head held high and his eyes bright.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you guessed it correctly."

"What about my king's reward?"

"My lord, close your eyes." Nan Xi said with a smile.

Xia Houqi closed his eyes in anticipation, and then waited for her reward.

After a while, he felt itchy and wet on his face, and even smelled the fragrance of ink. He immediately opened his eyes.

Then he saw Nan Xi's joking expression.

He touched his face and touched a hand of black ink. He was being teased.

"Are you teasing me?"

"Why is it teasing? This is the reward given to the prince - my calligraphy treasure. So far, no one has received my calligraphy treasure."

"Di Ji means that this king should burst into tears of gratitude?"

"Hmm?" Shouldn't it?
Xia Houqi smiled, angrily laughed at Nan Xi's taking it for granted.

He called the palace maid, fetched a basin of water, and slowly washed away the dirt on his face.

"Stand at the door and don't let anyone in."

"Yes--"

Hearing this, Feiyun quickly left the room with the sewage in his hands, and then closed the door tightly.

"In the clear sky, is your prince trying to force love?" Nan Xi asked jokingly, with a smile on her face and no trace of fear. (End of chapter)
