The Beloved Imperial Consort

Chapter 47

Chapter 47

When Mu Xi Yao woke up in the morning and discovered that her bedside was untouched, she knew that Zhong Zheng Lin rested in the study yesterday night. She got up and had people attend to her with grooming. As she was using the breakfast, she caught the sight of the sixth Highness lifting up the curtain and coming in with a stony face.

After sizing up the man more closely, Mu Xi Yao filled his bowl with food.

"Did something displease you, your Highness?" Looking at his icy-cold expression early in the morning, Mu Xi Yao only felt the already freezing weather became even more unbearable.

When Zhong Zheng Lin heard Mu Xi Yao's inquiry, his expression slowly softened. He walked over and hugged her waist. Subsequently, he caressed her belly, not replying to her question. He only used meal with her, and then hurriedly headed to the front yard.

"Mistress, last night chief steward sent people to carry shufei and her sister back to Shuhui courtyard. Afterward, they asked for the imperial physician, claiming that both of them were not well. It was noisy over there for the whole night." As soon as Zhao momo received the news, she came to report it to Mu Xi Yao.

Mu Xi Yao thought that the two were truly like a soul of a deceased that didn't want to go away. How come the two have again became tangled up with each other, unable to separate? How many times was it over the course of these few days?

Quite contemplatingly, she asked, "What's the matter this time?" What was that woman Tang Yi Ru doing? She just let that shu sister of hers act so impudently?

"Mistress, according to the imperial physician's words, shufei was overcome with anger. This together with an abrupt fright caused shufei to be unable to catch a breath, which as a result made her pass out."

Mu Xi Yao thought that based on the frequency of Tang shufei's fainting, this begonia flower was not far from turning to a little white flower.

"That sister of hers," Zhao momo was very puzzled, "they said that when she was carried back, her whole body was drenched, frozen like an ice cube. After being diagnosed, the imperial physician said that she suffered from the chill and was also subjected to the cold wind. A slow nursing was necessary. If she didn't take proper care and neglected her health, it will affect her fertility in the future."

Mu Xi Yao felt like she was listening to a play. After waking up from a sleep, those two sisters went as far as to outrageously get into a fight. When she went further to ask the details, Zhao momo told her that his Highness forbid people to speak about the accident, saying that whoever dared to gossip will be immediately driven out.

That being the case, Mu Xi Yao dropped the matter, paying it no heed. Since Zhong Zheng Lin prohibited people from spreading the gossip about the accident, she will do what he said and act like she didn't know. It had nothing to do with her anyway. Even if she wanted to watch a play, she still had to wait for those two to wake up. She then called for people who followed her to the garden where she went for a stroll, looked at her bonsai trees, played with koi fish, and, in passing, let out her two chubby rabbits to hop a bit. Mu Xi Yao found joy in her own way.

Zhong Zheng Lin was currently occupied by entertaining the guests. He had no time to think about irrelevant people. He dispatched people to sent a message to pick up cefei at the hour of Shen to attend a banquet.

As soon as Tang Yi Ru woke up, she heard Shu Mei tell her in detail what happened afterward. She became so infuriated she, on the spot, smashed the cup with medicine, wishing to choke to death that wench at the back. How can she not know nowadays she has fallen for her trap? She had actually used her as stepping stone in front of his Highness to climb up. What's more, that wench even succeeded.
