Chapter 322: Want to Die Together
Even the youngest children knew to stay away from the brightly colored insects in the forest.
Although Anilan had never seen that thing, based on the poisonous creatures she had seen in Nanzi over the years, she immediately felt it was dangerous.
Of course the servant didn't understand.
But Lou Xiao actually believed Anilan, which was incredible in the eyes of the servants.
"Sir! How can you believe this Nanzi woman when there is no basis for this? Does she think that something she has never seen is bad? Isn't that too arbitrary?"
Lou Xiao could hear the contempt in his words.
She defended Anilan and said, "Put all these things in a box and isolate them first."
The servant had no choice but to do it reluctantly, but he still felt somewhat dissatisfied.
Relying on the fact that he was an old man who had served Xiao Zhengze for many years, the servant brought up Her Majesty the Queen, "These are all treasures bestowed by Her Majesty. If there are any problems, you should inform Her Majesty."
Lou Xiao agreed, "I will tell your majesty the truth. It's always good to pay more attention."
Thinking about the fact that this person is a favorite of His Majesty, and she said this, I guess this is the only way it can be.
They all thought that this lady was fooling around, and some even said that she was so bold as to covet His Highness's treasures after just getting the marriage with His Highness.
Lou Xiao was unaware of this, but even if she knew she would just smile it off.
There were too many good things in Xiao Zhengze's storehouse. This time, he not only found the blue and purple gems offered by his subordinates,
The old servant also discovered that the accounts did not match, and some insignificant items were lost inexplicably.
I didn't dare to tell Xiao Zhengze, so I had to report the matter to Lou Xiao, who said, "The palace should handle it as it should be, no need to ask me."
The number of blue and purple treasures found was quite considerable. As Lou Xiao looked at them, he was reminded of those hidden in the sarcophagus in the secret room when he was still in Hengjian Villa.
They glow with a cold light, beautiful yet dangerous.
"Who presented this? Does Your Majesty have a lot?"
Lou Xiao had a sarcophagus built and put all of them inside.
The treasures that were once treasured by others were now piled together randomly. Lou Xiao asked the servant beside him,
"Is your majesty feeling unwell?"
The servant replied, "Your Majesty doesn't like bright colors, so the people below threw the ones they presented to him into the storehouse and only gave them to you, His Majesty."
No wonder Lou Xiao has never seen him in the palace.
She did not completely trust Anilan blindly. She only had the sarcophagus filled with treasures placed in an empty room.
Also caged together were a rabbit and a mynah bird.
Give him food and water to test whether this is the cause of the problem.
Since then, Xiao Zhengze's old servant has started to investigate the inexplicably lost items, and soon brought bad news to Lou Xiao.
"Sir, the little servant Ayun who came home to sweep the storehouse is gone."
Lou Xiao was discussing medication with the imperial doctors while Xiao Zhengze was sleeping, but she got this news.
"What do you mean by gone? Dead? How did he die?"
The servant who came to report was sweating profusely and stuttered as he said, "The guards who went to look for him reported back that he died of an acute illness less than a month after leaving the palace."
Lou Xiao said seriously, "What did the doctor who treated him say?"
The servant seemed about to cry, "We haven't even had time to call a doctor, and he's gone just like that!
"Sir, Sir, is it really because of that precious jade? His Highness did take it out to enjoy it occasionally before, how could it be so serious!"
Seeing that his body was shaking with fear, Lou Xiao said unhappily, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's better to know than to be kept in the dark."
If he were still alive, maybe the situation would be alright, but if he were dead, then there was a high possibility that there was something wrong with this thing.
She asked the imperial physician Xiao Zhengze if his pulse had changed in the past two days, because she saw that he lived a simple but comfortable life in Xifang Palace.
The doctor replied with difficulty, "It's only been a few days, nothing has changed."
But it’s normal to think so. How can I expect quick results?
Lou Xiao asked someone to carefully watch the mynah bird and rabbit that were kept with Baoyu, and report immediately if anything was wrong.
Before there was evidence, she couldn't tell His Majesty. After all, these things had passed through so many hands on their way to being presented here.
If there is really something wrong with it, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and many people would lose their heads.
She was in a very ambiguous mood right now. She hoped that this was the cause, but also hoped that this was not the cause.
It wasn't that there were no servants who reported to Xiao Zhengze that his storehouse had been turned upside down by Lou Xiao.
They all said that Lord Zhenguo was simply crazy. He relied on the favor of His Majesty and the favor of His Royal Highness the King of Hanhai to openly covet His Royal Highness's treasures.
As soon as Xiao Zhengze heard it, he immediately ordered people to deal with it according to palace rules. He would not allow anyone to say bad things about Lou Xiao.
"This is outrageous. What's mine is hers. You slaves have no right to interfere."
Xiao Zhengze looked better, and his tone of voice was much more serious.
"She is my future wife, and everything she does is for my own good. Stop talking nonsense in front of me, or I'll take your life."
If Lou Xiao likes, then she can choose anything in the warehouse. Why would she care about these material things?
He was actually very satisfied with the current situation. Lou Xiao almost lived in the palace, and he could see him at any time.
Moreover, both Xiao Zhengdu and Li Huaiqing seemed to have disappeared, no longer being an eyesore.
Now, no matter who it is, don’t even think about competing with him for Lou Xiao.
Xiao Zhengze, who was secretly delighted, ignored his inner panic and stopped thinking about his physical condition.
What's so scary about death? As long as he is with her before he dies, he will have no regrets in this life.
But after he dies...will she be with Xiao Zhengdu or Li Huaiqing?
Whenever Xiao Zhengze thought of that scene, he felt uncomfortable.
He is now very attached to Lou Xiao's company, and he would rather die than give her tenderness to others.
He knew this was not good, but the thoughts in his heart kept telling him that liking someone was selfish and he was not wrong.
It was not wrong that he didn't want Lou Xiao to see other people. Didn't she already promise to marry him?
He can't bear to leave her and doesn't want to die, so will she be reluctant to leave him, or will she forget him after he dies and live happily with another man?
The more Xiao Zhengze thought about it, the more evil thoughts began to arise in his mind.
He knew that Lou Xiao didn't have much attachment to him. Maybe she only loved him like a brother, just like an imperial sister.
He was not reconciled.
What if he took her away too?
If she goes to hell with him, will she blame him on the way to hell and never forgive him?
Lou Xiao didn't know that Xiao Zhengze, who was in a trance on the hospital bed, had already begun to want her life.
She just stepped into the door of Xiefang Palace with some snacks that had just been made in the kitchen.
