The Emperor Has An Illness CH 36-61 (END)

Chapter 37.1

Holding hands?

Laughing and talking?

Emperor Jing Li usually loathes corruption, bribery and faction affiliation. How can he be laughing and talking with Magistrate Liao's daughter when Magistrate Liao had broken two laws of Wei?

Impossible!

Noble Consort Liang still did not believe it.

She sent another palace maid to go to Lisheng Pavilion to make discreet inquiries once more.

After the palace maid returned, she said, "Replying to Your Highness Noble Consort, His Majesty was viewing the flowers with Lady Xi of Bright Countenance in Lisheng Pavilion."

"Viewing flowers?" Noble Consort Liang asked in surprise.

"Yes."

"His Majesty did not lose his temper?"

"No."

"His Majesty didn't punish anyone else?"

"No."

Noble Consort Liang's body swayed for a moment and turned to look at Worthy Consort beside her.

Worthy Consort's face blanched slightly and asked, "Does His Majesty care so much about Lady Xi of Bright Countenance?"

Noble Consort Liang couldn't say anything.

"Or is it that His Majesty does not believe that Magistrate Liao is corrupt and taking bribes at all?"

Noble Consort Liang looked alarmed.

"Your Highness, Noble Consort, will His Majesty personally find out the truth?"

"What do you mean by finding out the truth?" Noble Consort Liang turned her head and chided, "The truth is that Liao Shi Wen is stupid and greedy. He used Lady Xi of Bright Countenance's power to be acquainted and amass wealth!"

Worthy Consort did not expect Noble Consort Liang to suddenly get angry. She was so frightened that she shivered.

Noble Consort Liang became calm after losing her temper. She turned to look at Worthy Consort and said in a much gentler voice, "Worthy Consort, what Benggong[1] said is not wrong."

Worthy Consort had lingering fear in her heart. She slightly lowered her head and responded, "Your Highness Noble Consort is right."

"Mm. The two of us are maternal cousins. In this huge imperial harem, there isn't anyone more intimate than us."

"Yes."

"Lady Xi of Bright Countenance is too much. Regardless of whether it is talent, family background or position, she is incomparable to you and me. However, now she is always overpowering us." As Noble Consort Liang said that, she walked towards Worthy Consort and held Worthy Consort's hand. She said gently, "I am doing it for the good of both of us."

Upon hearing that, Worthy Consort raised her eyes to look at Noble Consort Liang.

Noble Consort Liang smiled at Worthy Consort.

Worthy Consort nodded.

After talking to Noble Consort Liang, Worthy Consort came out of Linhua Palace.

She walked pensively on the road. Unconsciously, she raised her eyes to look at Lisheng Pavilion.

It was silent in Lisheng Pavilion.

After Emperor Jing Li looked at the potato flowers in the test field, he walked into the bedroom with Liao Qing Qing hand in hand. He said, "You've planted well."
