Chapter 307 Favor
There was a hint of coldness in the queen's eyes as she stared at An Qinghuan closely, as if she wanted to find out something from her.
An Qinghuan glanced at the queen as if nothing had happened, then turned around and said softly to Emperor Wen: "Your Majesty! I am not feeling well, so I will return to Yihuan Palace first!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wen immediately showed a look of concern and said quickly: "My beloved concubine, please go back and rest! If you feel unwell, please call the imperial physician to see you!"
An Qinghuan smiled slightly, bowed to Emperor Wen, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern!" After that, she turned and left, leaving the Queen standing there with a gloomy face.
After An Qinghuan left, the Queen turned around and looked at Emperor Wen. She said with a somewhat unpleasant expression, "Your Majesty! If Jin Xiaohe was deliberately placed next to Your Majesty, then there must be a conspiracy!"
Emperor Wen snorted coldly and said impatiently: "I know how to find someone to investigate! The Queen doesn't need to worry about it!"
The queen was so angry that her eyes went dark and she almost fell to the ground. She was filled with anger and disappointment. This man was so heartless that he completely ignored their years of love for a woman who looked like Xiaohe.
At the same time, the young eunuch hurried to the side of Eunuch Gao and said in a low voice: "General Manager Gao, Jin Xiaohe's uncle and his family were killed by the bandits in Longgu Mountain a few years ago!"
Hearing this news, Gao Gonggong's eyes froze for a moment, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face. He waved his hand to signal the young eunuch to leave, and then walked into the hall with a solemn expression.
Eunuch Gao walked respectfully before Emperor Wen and reported carefully: "Your Majesty, Jin Xiaohe's uncle and his family were wiped out by the bandits in Longgu Mountain several years ago!"
Emperor Wen's face suddenly became gloomy, and a trace of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes. He never expected this to happen. He originally thought he could help Jin Xiaohe find her uncle, but he didn't expect to get such news.
Just as Jin Xiaohe finished washing up, she came out and heard what Eunuch Gao said. She felt a pain in her heart, and she felt dizzy and black before her eyes, and she fainted! Seeing this, the palace maid beside her quickly reached out to support her, calling anxiously: "Girl! Girl! What's wrong with you?"
Seeing this, Emperor Wen hurriedly shouted, "Quick! Call the imperial physician! Go and ask the imperial physician to come and have a look!"
The queen watched this scene coldly, with a hint of imperceptible pleasure flashing in her eyes, but she soon regained her composure. She turned to look at Eunuch Gao and ordered in a cold tone: "Eunuch Gao, you personally take people to Yuqing, Jiangnan to investigate Jin Xiaohe's background! Make sure you find it out clearly!"
Emperor Wen stood beside Jin Xiaohe, his face gloomy and silent. Eunuch Gao responded respectfully: "I will ask someone to investigate right away!" Then he left in a hurry.
Several palace maids carefully helped Jin Xiaohe to the warm room in the side hall and let her lie on the bed to rest.
Emperor Wen stayed where he was, glanced at the queen with a cold look, and said with a tone of dissatisfaction and reproach: "Don't you have any work to do every day, Queen? Why do you always have to find these troublesome things to bother with?"
When the Queen heard what Emperor Wen said, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. She widened her eyes and looked at Emperor Wen in disbelief, with an angry look on her face.
She gritted her teeth, suppressed the anger in her heart, glared at Emperor Wen fiercely, and then said coldly: "I'll take my leave!" After that, she turned and left, staggering a little.
The imperial physician arrived soon, and after examining Jin Xiaohe, he said to Emperor Wen: "Your Majesty! Miss Jin was just too sad! She fainted! I will give her acupuncture, and she will wake up soon!"
Emperor Wen nodded and watched the imperial physician give acupuncture to Jin Xiaohe.
After the imperial physician and the palace maid left, Emperor Wen stared at Jin Xiaohe's face intently. They looked so similar!
For a moment, he thought Xiaohe was back!
After Xiao He passed away, she took Emperor Wen's heart with her! Emperor Wen favored An Qing Huan because her eyes resembled Xiao He's, and because of the Duke's Mansion behind her!
Now God must have taken pity on his infatuation and sent Jin Xiaohe to his side!
Emperor Wen was filled with emotion. He couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Jin Xiaohe's cheek, as if he wanted to see his former lover through her face.
His eyes were full of affection and attachment, as if he wanted to pour all his emotions into this face.
However, at this moment, Jin Xiaohe suddenly opened her eyes. She looked at Emperor Wen in confusion, with a hint of fear in her eyes. Emperor Wen was startled by her gaze and his hand retracted unconsciously.
Jin Xiaohe blinked and finally saw the person in front of her clearly. She immediately sat up, looked at Emperor Wen vigilantly, and wrapped herself tightly with the quilt.
Emperor Wen realized that his behavior just now might have frightened Jin Xiaohe, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to offend the young lady, but I saw that the young lady looked very similar to my old friend..."
Jin Xiaohe frowned and muttered to herself, why is this emperor so strange? However, since he had no ill intentions, she would not pursue it. So, she nodded politely to show her understanding, and then continued to look around.
Emperor Wen was relieved to see that Jin Xiaohe was not angry. He smiled and said, "Miss, don't be nervous. This is my warm room. You can rest in peace. If you need anything, just tell me."
Jin Xiaohe looked at Emperor Wen with gratitude and thanked him softly.
Emperor Wen stared at the woman in front of him, Jin Xiaohe, who was younger than his daughter. A complex emotion surged in his heart, and a dark and deep light flashed in his eyes.
He would never let Jin Xiaohe leave him so easily! Because he had already lost Xiaohe, and the man in front of him looked so much like her, he would never allow himself to lose such a similar existence again.
Emperor Wen noticed the sadness on Jin Xiaohe's face, and he comforted her softly, "Your uncle's family was unfortunately killed by bandits, and now you are homeless. Instead of wandering around, why not stay in the palace and accompany me!"
Jin Xiaohe was shocked when she heard this. She stood up and knelt on the ground as if she was frightened. "Your Majesty, I am of humble origin and I am not worthy of staying in this noble palace!"
Emperor Wen's eyes flickered with determination: "I am the ruler of the world. If I say I want to keep you in the palace, who dares to raise any objection?!"
In Jin Xiaohe's eyes, crystal tears were rolling, as if they would fall at any time. Those eyes were as clear and transparent as a spring water, and as mysterious as the deep starry sky.
Emperor Wen could not help but feel a strong impulse in his heart. He hugged Jin Xiaohe tightly, his voice trembling with anticipation: "Xiaohe! You are finally back to my side!"
