Chapter 910: Meeting the Three Golden Flowers
Bu Yaolian shook her head. “It’s true. I don’t know who did it, and Shao Zun didn’t talk to me about it.”
“It’s better if it’s stolen. Only if it’s stolen can others have a chance.”
Only then would the consort’s family have a chance to prove their worth in front of the emperor.
She should have been whispering into the emperor’s ear for the past two days in bed, but she hadn’t been feeling well.
During the contest, the other side hadn’t been merciful at all.
“Mr. Xiao has returned to the palace. If you’re not well, you can ask him to take a look at you,” said Bu Yaolian.
Mr. Xiao was truly amazing. If he said that he was second in terms of medical skills, no one would dare say that they were first.
The imperial consort was delighted. “What did you say? Why did he come back to the palace?”
Back then, he had chosen the path of medicine and said that he didn’t plan to return to the palace.
The Rising Clouds emperor was probably anxious. He was in a hurry to refine the pill and conquer the world partly because he was afraid that Xiao Xiao would change his mind.
Xiao Xiao was well-versed in medicine and had extensive connections; it would be bad if he really had a change of heart.
Xiao Xiao had returned less than a year after the former emperor passed away.
When the former emperor passed away, he had found an excuse not to come back.
“I don’t know, but you should ask him to take a look at you. Get better soon.” Bu Yaolian felt guilty about divulging the consort’s letter to Gu Bailu.
So she hoped that she would get better.
The imperial consort nodded. “Yes, I’ll have him take a look at me.”
She immediately ordered the servants to invite Mr. Xiao over.
With Xiao Xiao’s return, there might be a change in Rising Clouds.
She continued, “Can you help me bring a letter to my brother?”
Bu Yaolian said without thinking, “Okay.”
This time, she wouldn’t reveal any secrets.
Bu Yaolian left with the letter. When she passed the imperial garden, she met the Three Golden Flowers.
Even though it was the middle of winter, fresh flowers were blooming in the imperial garden of Rising Clouds Empire. The plum blossoms were like the sea, and pleasing to the eye.
Bu Yaolian’s heart skipped a beat. Shao Zun had come when she was sick in the middle of the night. The three sisters probably hated her.
As they approached, Bu Yaolian saw smiles on their charming faces.
Those faces were flushed red, like boiled eggs, and made one cheerful just looking at them.
Not to mention Shao Zun, even Bu Yaolian didn’t hate her looks.
One was bad enough, but there were three of them. No matter how beautiful a flower was, it couldn’t be more beautiful than a flower brocade.
The Rising Clouds Emperor was truly heartless to give the three beauties away.
“Sister Lian’er, are you feeling better?” one asked in a gentle and intoxicating voice that was as clear as a mountain stream.
Bu Yaolian blushed. “Thank you for worrying. I feel much better.”
“Sister Lian’er, we’re going there to enjoy the plum blossoms. Do you want to join us?” One invited her warmly.
Bu Yaolian felt that she couldn’t refuse when she looked at that gorgeous face.
So be it. If their looks and harmless impressions were just a facade, she would go and see what schemes they had.
Bu Yaolian had seen all sorts of people, so she wasn’t afraid of them.
“Okay.” Two of the three girls fluttered to her side, one pulling on her hand and the other leading the way.
They giggled as they walked into the plum blossoms.
The plum blossoms were in full bloom, and were as red as fire.
A maid had already prepared everything under the tree. There was no ashes in the white jade stove.
