Chapter 1134: Chapter 1139: The Fate of Bad Guys (4)

Cai Wei watched him flee the room, and she withdrew her foot that had suffered poisoning, feeling an inexplicable bewilderment. Why did this man suddenly run away as if for his life? Could it be that he forgot some important matter?

Huan Qiu had long heard The Emperor and Empress romping inside the room; seeing The Emperor leave, she came in to serve Cai Wei as she washed and dressed.

Seeing that it was still early outside, not yet time for breakfast at home, Cai Wei instructed Huan Qiu to heat some bath water.

Her monthly letter had passed, and she was anxious to cleanse her body—not to satisfy a man’s desire, but to be able to control the space and ask The Great Immortal Turtle to come out and heal Tuotuo’s hand. Cai Wei had seen the severity of Tuotuo’s injury with her own eyes. Such a serious injury needed prompt treatment, better sooner than later, for if Tuotuo’s hand became useless, Miaojiang would surely turn against Great Jin!

After her bath and dressing, Cai Wei, accompanied by Huan Qiu and Xiao Zhi, went to the front yard to have breakfast.

The family had all risen early and were sitting in the living room waiting for her. Seeing her come out, Lady Du laughed and said, "You’ve finally got up; if you hadn’t, breakfast would have gotten cold."

With that, she ordered the servants to set the meal.

The breakfast was extremely lavish, prepared according to the standard of the Empress Dowager’s homecoming visit, with all sorts of chicken, duck, fish, and meat, Shark Fin and Tripe, a whole table full of rich dishes.

Cai Wei sighed inwardly. Now that she was the Empress, her family’s attitude toward her could never be as casual and intimate as before.

Everyone watched her until she sat down, and then they took their seats in turn.

"Wei’er, your dad got up early and went to Third Uncle Mu’s house, and he told Cai Lian what you said...",

Lady Du added a pair of stir-fried sea cucumbers with scallions to Cai Wei’s plate.

Cai Wei uttered an "Oh," and asked, "What did she say?"

Mu Zhongqing said, "She didn’t say much, but she seemed quite happy and has already told your third aunt that she wants Millet porridge."

"Hehe, I understand now!"

Cai Wei let out a light chuckle, lowered her eyes, and continued with breakfast, deciding not to worry about her anymore...

After breakfast, concerned about Tuotuo’s hand injury, she didn’t stay long. Accompanied by Huan Qiu and Xiao Zhi, she took a small sedan chair and discreetly returned to the palace.

Her own Phoenix chariot had returned to the palace yesterday at the time the Empress was supposed to return, creating the illusion that the Empress had returned on time for everyone to see. Otherwise, the Imperial Historians and ministers would have surely impeached her for being pampered and spoiled, disregarding palace rules, and would have made things difficult for Nangong Yi. She didn’t want her man to be troubled, so she was willing to sneak back to the palace in a small sedan chair rather than have her man criticized.

After entering the palace, Meng Huaian didn’t let her return to Chengqian Palace but welcomed her into the Royal study room instead.

Tuotuo had applied the Lice Gu in Chengqian Palace yesterday, and Nangong Yi, afraid of any remaining lice or such, had ordered a large amount of Insect Repellent to be scattered inside and had people meticulously search the place. He planned to move back in after some time, and for now, he and his woman would temporarily reside in the Royal study room.

The Royal study room was not far to the northeast of Chengqian Palace, facing south against the Red Wall, spanning nine chambers from east to west. It was the place where the Emperors of Great Jin usually reviewed memorials and also served as the Emperor’s private residence, akin to the Yangxin Hall of China’s Qing Dynasty. Normally, no one else was allowed entry, only the Emperor himself. Historical Concubines were not permitted to enter the Royal study room; being able to enter once was considered God’s grace. Among all Empresses and Imperial Concubines throughout history, Cai Wei was the only one who had the distinct privilege of living in the Royal study room outright!

Upon entering the Royal study room, she was greeted by a huge Golden Silk Nan Wood case table covered with memorials, the place where The Emperor normally reviewed them.
