I am the champion of palace intrigue, and even the proud prince bows his head in submission.

Chapter 204 From now on, you are not allowed to bother me with Consort Chen's affairs again.



Chapter 204 From now on, you are not allowed to bother me with Consort Chen's affairs again.

But after only a brief pause, Gao Xian quickly resumed his work.

Eunuch Li cautiously looked up at him.

For a moment, I couldn't guess what he was thinking at all.

"Your Majesty," Eunuch Li called out cautiously, "I heard from the imperial physician that Consort Chen's illness seems quite serious this time. Should we...?"

“I’m not going,” Gao Xian interrupted him, saying directly.

I had a fight this morning and got sick this afternoon.

There aren't that many coincidences in this world.

Even if he was really sick, he didn't want to see a doctor.

Originally, he had decided to let go of Qin Jiuwei, but Mo Qingkui really disappointed him.

The outer robe Xie Yanli was wearing clearly showed that it couldn't have been made without five or six days of meticulous preparation.

But what Mo Qingkui gave him only took a day.

It was all a rushed and perfunctory affair! She didn't care about him at all!

He doted on her so much, yet she took it all for granted and became so spoiled!

Gao Xian slammed the brush onto the table and looked coldly at Eunuch Li, "From now on, you are not allowed to bother me with Consort Chen's affairs again!"

"This servant knows his mistake, this servant knows his mistake." Eunuch Li quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "I will never dare to do it again."

His voice trembled noticeably.

It seems the Emperor is truly angry this time.

The next day, in the Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, all the temples in the capital have been properly arranged."

Xie Yanli was summoned to the Imperial Study by Gao Xian early in the morning to inquire about the matter of praying for blessings.

“A prayer ceremony will be held in the main hall, and the monks will recite the Medicine Buddha Sutra day and night. This sutra has the power to eliminate disasters and prolong life. We hope to use the power of the sutra to cure the Empress Dowager’s illness and eliminate disasters.”

"Hmm." Gao Xian rested his forehead on one hand. "I have always been extremely confident in your abilities."

He had some dark circles under his eyes. "I summoned you here today for another matter. I also plan to go to Kaiyuan Temple tomorrow to pray for the Empress Dowager."

He had a dream all night.

But when I woke up, I couldn't remember what I had dreamed about, and I just felt exhausted.

Staying in the palace for so long, all sorts of strange thoughts kept popping into my head.

Why not leave the palace once?

Not only can it be used to pray for the Empress Dowager, but it can also help him regain his senses.

A place of Buddhist teachings will surely allow him to sleep more peacefully.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yanli was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise flashing across his face.

But he quickly regained his composure and said with his hands clasped, "Your Majesty's personal visit to Kaiyuan Temple to pray for the Empress Dowager is truly a sign of filial piety. However, this trip was too rushed, and I am worried that there may be some oversights that may frighten Your Majesty."

Gao Xian waved his hand, "There's no need to worry about Yanli. I'm only going there to sincerely pray for the Empress Dowager's well-being, so please keep everything simple."

Xie Yanli nodded slightly; the emperor's mind was made up, and he could only obey.

The Marquis's Residence, Qinglan Courtyard.

"Young Madam, something has happened at the manor." Nan Nan rushed in, looking somewhat flustered.

Qin Jiuwei was reviewing accounts inside the room when she heard this. Without looking up, she asked, "What is it?"

"Miss Biao, she, she..." Nan Nan walked a little fast and was a little out of breath when she spoke.

Qin Jiu raised her eyes slightly, and Nan Nan then got to the point, "She was kicked out of the Marquis's mansion by the Madam!"

"What?" Xiaohe was the first to exclaim, her face full of disbelief. "Impossible! Madam dotes on Miss Biao so much, how could she suddenly want to kick her out of the manor?"

Granny Song frowned. "Nannan, where did you hear that? Don't be misled by someone."

"I... I didn't believe it." Nan Nan shook her head. "I went to pick up something today and passed by Yue Ling Courtyard. I saw that they were packing things up inside, which I found very strange, so I went to ask and that's how I found out."

"Furthermore, the madam said that Miss Biao should move out by tonight and into one of the madam's dowry courtyards."

Xiaohe raised an eyebrow. "That's strange. Why are they in such a hurry?"

She nudged Nan Nan's shoulder. "Have you found out the reason?"

"I found out," Nan Nan whispered. "I heard it's because of the second young master."

Second Young Master? What does he have to do with the Second Young Master?

Xiaohe and Granny Song couldn't help but frown.

Qin Jiuwei understood instantly, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

She hadn't expected that Xie Zhongzhi would care so much about Xu Liuer.

Not only was he completely unmoved by Qiu Yueli's seduction, but he also wanted to kick her out of the Marquis's mansion.

But it's all for the best. Qiu Yueli would have been a menace if she had stayed in the mansion. It's good that she's gone.

Seeing that they wanted to continue talking, Qin Jiuwei interrupted, "Alright, anyway, these things have little to do with our Qinglan Courtyard. Let's just close the door and live our own lives."

"whats the matter?"

Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice came from outside.

Xie Yanli walked slowly into the room, and the maids immediately bowed and greeted him, "Greetings, Young Master."

"Husband?" Qin Jiuwei was somewhat surprised. "Why are you back now?"

In the past, Xie Yanli would not be seen by anyone until evening when he went out.

This is quite unusual today.

Xie Yanli smiled upon hearing this, took a step forward to stand in front of Qin Jiuwei, and his deep phoenix eyes fell on her.

"I'm going to Kaiyuan Temple later, and I'll be passing by the Marquis's residence, so I thought I'd come in and take a look at you."

Qin Jiuwei's ear tips instantly turned red.

He had the nerve to say such things when he was surrounded by maids.

So she changed the subject, saying, "Why are we going to Kaiyuan Temple again? Is there something wrong?"

Xie Yanli nodded. "His Majesty is also going to Kaiyuan Temple tomorrow. There are many things that need to be prepared, and I don't trust others to handle them."

Gao Xian, is he going too?

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiuwei's smile suddenly froze.
