Chapter 2215 - 2123: Oh No, Offended Her Majesty 4
Chapter 2215: Chapter 2123: Oh No, Offended Her Majesty 4
Lu Hualiang felt a surge of joy and stepped forward, "Bao..." Bao.
Yet before he could finish his words, Xia Weibao had already ignored him and headed straight towards the yard, entering Wang Cai’s room.
Lu Hualiang, "..."
Completely ignored...
"Imperial physicians, come in."
Xia Weibao’s voice came from the side room, and the two imperial physicians glanced at His Majesty, only to see a face dark as iron, unable to discern His Majesty’s intent.
Uncertain if they should proceed.
Eunuch Yang discreetly gestured for them to hurry on.
Didn’t they see His Majesty was entirely under Miss Xia’s influence now? Pleasing Miss Xia was more crucial than pleasing His Majesty, these people were terrible at reading faces.
No wonder he thrived so well!
The two imperial physicians bowed to Lu Hualiang before hurriedly heading over.
Lu Hualiang hesitated for a moment, then followed.
Yet as soon as he stepped forward, a pillow was flung towards him.
"Protect His Majesty, quickly protect His Majesty!"
The guards behind, alarmed, rushed forward.
Lu Hualiang caught the pillow midair with one hand and glared at the yelling guards behind him.
Shouting, shouting, what are you shouting for, didn’t you see Her Majesty the Empress is angry!
I haven’t even figured out how to console her, and you’re all creating more chaos!
All the guards, petrified and not daring to make a sound, retreated with bowed heads like turtles, trying to minimize their presence.
They were just doing their duty, yet why the cold stares?
Today’s His Majesty was quite unusual.
Lu Hualiang sneaked a peek inside, seeing Xia Weibao carefully and gently extracting an arrow from Wang Cai, he suddenly wished he were the one shot instead...
Perhaps, he could go out and let someone shoot him with an arrow?
He heard such a ruse can be quite effective in appeasing one’s wife.
Without disturbing her, Lu Hualiang walked into the yard, frowning at the sight of the Noble Consort’s Chair.
He remembered this Noble Consort’s Chair was from her bedchamber.
Seeing a palace maid cleaning nearby, Lu Hualiang asked, "What is this."
The palace maid approached with head bowed, "Your Majesty, last night Miss Xia couldn’t sleep and stood here until late at night. We moved the Noble Consort’s Chair here, fearing she might come again to watch the moon, so we didn’t move it back."
Lu Hualiang’s pupils shrank, "She couldn’t sleep last night?"
How could that be, she had no such habit...
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Why couldn’t she sleep."
"Miss Xia asked Wang Cai if His Majesty would come to accompany her... accompany her to sleep... Miss Xia waited all along..."
Lu Hualiang felt as though a large hand squeezed his heart, causing a dull ache.
"Why didn’t you inform me!"
If she couldn’t sleep, if she wanted to see him, why didn’t anyone notify him!
The palace maid, terrified, immediately knelt on the ground, trembling.
"Speak!"
Lu Hualiang’s voice rose somewhat, startling the palace maid who fell prone to the ground.
"Forgive me, Your Majesty, a humble maid doesn’t have the privilege to step into the Imperial Study Room, and the Empress Dowager clearly stated the Imperial Harem’s concubines cannot disturb His Majesty, and Miss Xia... Miss Xia is yet not a concubine, she dare not more so..."
"She is My Empress!"
The palace maid broke out in cold sweat, bowing repeatedly, "Forgive me, Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty."
How was she supposed to know?
Lu Hualiang took a deep breath, realizing his misplaced anger, "What else, what other abnormalities did she show."
Upon hearing Xia Weibao was the future Her Majesty the Empress, how could the palace maid dare conceal anything, she recounted every single detail of Xia Weibao’s situation yesterday.
"Miss Xia barely ate anything, saying... saying that without His Majesty accompanying her for a meal, she had no appetite, and... also asked where His Majesty was, wanting to go find His Majesty..."
"What did you reply."
"Wang Cai said... said the palace rules dictate concubines must wait for a decree to see His Majesty, cannot... cannot seek Him out of their own accord, and Miss Xia has yet to be appointed a concubine, even less so can she seek..."
A bunch of fools!
Lu Hualiang was enraged enough to want to cut down these people!
Each and every one is a fool!
Those were the rules for other concubines, Xia Weibao is his woman, how can it be the same!
No wonder she would be so angry, did she think he’d lured her into the palace only to disregard her?
Thinking she couldn’t eat or sleep, his heart felt a dull pain.
