Chapter 207: Is He Out of His Mind?
Amidst light conversation, they arrived at the Prince's Mansion. Once everyone was seated, Xiaoyao instructed:
"Shanhu, go brew a pot of Silver Needle White Peony tea."
"Yes!"
After exchanging a few casual pleasantries, Xiaoyao turned to Shen Shuhui and asked:
"I noticed you stopped Consort Lirong earlier. What is it? Is there something wrong with my brother's health?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, according to reports we received, Your Majesty's illness is merely a common cold. A few days of rest should set him right."
"Oh? Then why all the secrecy?"
"Your Highness, Your Majesty is a high-level member of the God Clan. How could he fall ill with a cold for no reason?"
"Then..." Anian chimed in, "How did my brother fall ill?"
"The Second Royal Princess might not know, but all the imperial concubines on the mountain have come to New City these past few days, and His Majesty has been staying alone up on Xiaoyue Peak. As Your Highness knows, His Majesty issued strict orders that without an imperial decree, no concubine is permitted to enter Xiaoyue Peak without authorization, so we have no way of knowing what is truly happening inside.
