Chapter 148 Not Born from the Same Mother
Chapter 148 Not Born from the Same Mother
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Fifth sister, you dare to talk about the eldest sister behind her back! I will definitely tell the eldest sister!" This was obviously Xiao Yufu's voice.
However, Xiao Yule didn't care about it at all. He just waved his hand lightly, signaling Lu E beside him to quickly pour a cup of hot tea and prepare to entertain this uninvited guest.
When Xiao Yufu stepped into the room, she saw the steaming freshly brewed tea on the table and Xiao Yule, who was sitting there with an expressionless face.
Since she was a child, Xiao Yufu had always longed to become close to Xiao Yule, but she knew very well in her heart that the death of Xiao Yule's biological mother was inextricably linked to the current queen.
Therefore, she always deliberately created some small troubles to try to attract Xiao Yule's attention. But what confused her was that even if she didn't cause any big trouble, Xiao Yule would always warn her: "Be careful, your mother will punish you."
Moreover, Xiao Yule had never reprimanded her as an elder sister. Among all her brothers and sisters, only Xiao Yule was indifferent to her, and it seemed that she only made jokes for Xiao Yumiao's sake.
Xiao Yufu had always been spoiled, and all the royal brothers and sisters doted on her, except Xiao Yule, who always kept a distance from her. This special treatment made Xiao Yufu curious and a little disappointed.
Xiao Yufu tiptoed into the hall and asked cautiously, "Sister Imperial, is this the tea you poured for me?" There was a hint of anticipation in her voice.
However, what greeted her was Xiao Yule's cold response: "No, it's for Abu." After saying that, he turned his gaze to the bird beside him - Abu.
Hearing this, Xiao Yufu was stunned, with a flash of surprise and disappointment in her eyes. She didn't expect to be treated like this, and she couldn't help feeling aggrieved.
At this time, Xiao Yule raised her head, looked at Xiao Yufu expressionlessly, and repeated: "If you don't want to drink it, give it to Abu." It was as if she was telling Xiao Yufu that she didn't care whether her sister was thirsty or not.
Xiao Yufu finally understood what Xiao Yule meant. It turned out that she said that on purpose. So, she forced a smile and nodded, then sat down next to Xiao Yule and said in a flattering tone, "Hey, thank you, sister."
Seeing Xiao Yufu like this, Xiao Yule's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible sneer. Then, she said to Xiao Yufu in the calmest tone: "You are a rare guest, why did you come to my Baichan Palace again? Are you here to quarrel with me? My palace is not as spacious and magnificent as your Hexiao Palace. Even if we want to quarrel, I'm afraid it won't make you feel comfortable."
After hearing this, the smile on Xiao Yufu's face instantly became a little stiff.
She glanced awkwardly at Lu E beside her, forced a smile, and defended herself, "Royal sister, how could you miss me like this? Of course I came to your palace not just to quarrel, can't there be other things?" There was a hint of grievance and helplessness in her words.
Xiao Yule nodded slightly, indicating her agreement. "Well...besides this, is there anything else important? Could it be that you have already chosen a candidate for a consort and need me to help you? However, after all, you and I are not born of the same mother. Even though we are both daughters of the emperor, it might be more appropriate to ask my eldest brother or eldest sister for advice on this matter."
As Xiao Yule listened, she became more and more confused, and for a moment she didn't know how to start. After thinking for a while, she finally mustered up the courage to say, "No, sister, I came here this time to discuss something with you."
Xiao Yule couldn't help but feel curious: "Oh? You came to me specifically? What's the matter?" Xiao Yufu pinched her right index finger with her left thumb, pursed her lips, raised her eyes, stared at Xiao Yule sincerely, and then nodded vigorously.
Xiao Yule held his chin with one hand, stared at Xiao Yufu quietly, and asked softly: "Okay, just say it if you have something to say."
Xiao Yufu said without hesitation, "Royal sister, I know that you are an excellent doctor, so I hope you can go and treat my father. Only in this way can my father wake up and Li Ziyan be saved from death!"
