Tian Gui Escapes with the Imperial Concubine's Two Treasures 96 Furious Qi

  "When did you find out?" He suddenly stopped in front of him, his deep voice as cold as the moonlight above.

  Following behind him, she could only gaze at his broad shoulders and dragon robe. Hua Xiyuan softly sighed: "That day early morning, when I accompanied the Emperor to have breakfast together, I saw her looking at the Emperor with a somewhat strange expression."

  "Why did you find it strange when you saw her looking at me?"

  "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven of a country, and the safety of your person is a matter of great importance to the people and the state. Shouldn't we pay attention to this?"

  Upon hearing this, he suddenly turned around, his eyes looking down at her: "What do you think she's so strange about? Is she going to assassinate me? If she's a spy trying to assassinate me, why didn't she strike quickly back then?"

  I had already felt that his emotions were a bit strange, seeing him ask to this extent, Hua Xiyan would have guessed it even if she was foolish. If she answered foolishly, yes, she thought Li Hua might assassinate him, and next, the one who should suffer would become her. It can only be said that men's self-esteem is like this. Fu Shen: "Your Majesty, just like Your Majesty suspected, if she really had evil intentions towards Your Majesty, it wouldn't be assassination. The way she looked at Your Majesty with those eyes could only make me anxious."

  "Do you think she's seducing me? Or is it just because you were caught stealing today that you're saying this?" Her ink-like eyes locked onto her figure, the flashing light, like a turbulent wave about to surge up at any moment.

  Huā Yù Yán's heart is speechless. Isn't he also responsible for this play? Originally, she should be blaming him for giving others a chance to take advantage, but how did it become all his accusations against her? What did she do wrong?

  "Your Majesty, I'm even more confused. That night, with Your Majesty's wisdom, how could you so easily let a woman into your chambers and have an opportunity to take advantage of her? Given Your Majesty's reputation for being as chaste as jade for all these years, isn't this a bit self-destructive? Or is it that Your Majesty intentionally wanted to test me?"

  In the end, she couldn't help but mock him. Hua Xiyan regretted her straightforwardness after speaking her mind.

  All he heard was that his heavy eyelids suddenly ignited a scorching flame, followed by a gloomy laughter from the emperor's throat.

  Huā Yùyán retreated half a step, only to have her arms suddenly grasped by two iron pincers. Her body was lifted upwards, and her forehead collided with his chest, leaving her dazed and disoriented. It was as if his chest was made of steel or stone, and colliding with it was like an egg hitting a rock - a surefire way to get hurt.

  He tightly wrapped his arm around her slender body, feeling as if the weight in his hands was light as a swallow, overflowing with grasp, and at any moment it seemed like he couldn't hold on, she would fly out of the cage like a small bird.

  He gave her a certain degree of freedom, but there was a bottom line. This bottom line is that she cannot be jealous at all. This is simply a blow to his self-esteem as a man.

  He thought this was the first time, taking advantage of the opportunity to use a woman to spy on her, and the result was really frustrating for him. He was so frustrated that he wanted to strangle her neck, squeeze her heart, and see what she was made of inside.

  It seems that her previous concern for his life was not because he was her man, but because of other reasons.

  Was he too naive or too indulgent to her? He should have used this to probe her earlier. Otherwise, he wouldn't be feeling the pain of being deceived by her until now. This anger was burning in his chest and almost couldn't be contained.

  He had already made up his mind that she could only be his woman, and she must love him very much. In her heart, if there was no him, even if she couldn't taste the love for him, would she change her mind one day? He almost had no grasp on it. Thinking of this, a strange anxiety surged in his chest.

  A scorching kiss, unlike the refined ones before, or was it just a provocative tease, with a strong sense of dominance, he lowered his head and took possession of her.

  For a moment, her frailty could hardly withstand his sudden and violent assault.

  No, this isn't like him. He never used to be like that before, at most just teasing her, seemingly provoking her, more interesting.

  It's all because he assumed her heart was already firmly on him. Perhaps it really is, but the reason isn't right, not as he thought.

  She assisted him, should be first love him, like him, as a man is the first, and then other. Because he was too clear, women, only wholeheartedly loving that man, can pay out for his true heart.

  He wants her heart, he wants the heart that loves him. He now wants to confirm it immediately - she must not think of deceiving him again, cheating him.

  Tear apart.

  In an instant, his chest was empty, and his hand grasped the position of her heart fiercely. This time it was completely different from last time when he only worried about her and tried to probe her seven souls and six spirits. Instead, that strong and powerful palm grasped her heart, exerting great force, pressing down hard.

  Her chest was squeezed by this strong force, and even the air in her mouth was squeezed out of her lungs. Fresh air couldn't get in. Her face suddenly turned red, like a blooming peony flower, tender and dripping with dew. Yun Xi could only continuously exhale from her lips. Her almond-shaped eyes, usually calm as still water, now flickered with a hint of panic, like stars twinkling in the night sky.

  Like a thread of helplessness, a thread of panic, a thread of great doubt, looking at him.

  His transcendent beauty, under the moonlight, is like a perfect masterpiece of sculpture. His lips are red and luscious, his nose is sharp and divine, his face is pale with a hint of pink, like a blooming flower that exudes a strong and deadly charm. His three thousand strands of hair flow down in the wind, like a waterfall pouring down, as if it's a net that wraps around her, enveloping her. With this stunning beauty, she is undoubtedly a seductress who can capture people's souls.

  The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she was both a celestial being who had transcended the mundane world and a beauty who could topple cities with her charm.

  A chill ran down her spine, tightly binding her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

  She had never seen him like this. Or maybe he had never shown this side of himself in front of anyone before. Was this the person she knew? The one who always stood high above, looking down on the world with a haughty gaze that included her. So whether she loved him or not was originally inconsequential to him. Because someone like him didn't seem like the type to love others anyway.

  Nowadays, he looks like this, and it can't be said that it's anything else. However, somehow I feel that compared to his usual bloodless, cold and ruthless appearance, this is even more terrifying and chilling.

  She was afraid. Truly afraid. She had never felt such fear before. From childhood to adulthood, she had never been afraid of anything, not even death, but now Gong Xiuyi felt what it meant to be fearful. And the person who made her feel this way was her husband.

  Bang!

  In a daze, she violently bumped her back against the pillar, and with a sigh, accompanied by a moan, it escaped from her mouth. The pain was not enough to withstand the chill that was being pressed down on her entire body at this moment.

  Every cell in her body was suddenly screaming. Originally, being intimate with him was very familiar to her. But today, it was completely different. The person she faced felt very strange and scary.

  It's hard to believe that at a time when she was almost suffocated by the intense situation, his icy fingertips were so elegant and refined, slowly, very slowly, caressing her neck. The feeling was as if an icy snake was probing her breath, probing every secret in her heart, wanting to strip her bare, swallow her whole. Swallow her alive. Yes, she could clearly read these four words from his icy eyes: He wanted to devour her.

  "Saint, Saint Above——" Her teeth chattered slightly as she forced a slight curve at the corner of her lips.

  "I've said it before, that Yuzuru can only be mine. That's right, I did say that losing Yuzuru would be like losing my left arm. However, I feel that this game of tag, seems to be enjoyed by Yuzuru alone, and is unfair to me."

  "Hehe, hehe." She exhaled a mouthful of cloudy breath, "Your servant, where is your servant?"

  "No, I don't know if it's because I didn't explain clearly to Xun Qiu or if Xun Qiu is being stubborn. I've said it before, Xun Qiu's heart only belongs to me." He leaned in close to her face, his words like knives blowing out of the dark shadows, or like erupting lava, "It's you, Xun Qiu, not the Empress, not a concubine, don't you understand? If you don't understand, I'll teach you until you do."

  Somewhere in his heart, it was as if those few words had been grasped tightly, almost coming to a standstill.

  No, she can only be his queen, his concubine.

  These words, which were almost uttered without thinking due to his urging, did not actually come out of her mouth, but were clearly written in her eyes.

  He saw it clearly in an instant.

  Under the moonlight, her apricot eyes showed a nervousness like that of a small rabbit, and at the same time, like a certain small wild beast with its claws and teeth ready to pounce, she was vigilantly guarding against him.

  This is the real her, even she herself doesn't seem to have seen clearly who she really is in her daily life.

  In the dark pupils, a surge of madness suddenly rose. At the bottom of his heart, it was as if the mist had been broken and the real piercing light had shone in, revealing the painful truth at once. Why did he always feel the need to tame Xiao Erzi? The reason was that Xiao Erzi was educated by her. In a sense, he was the true her, and his attitude towards him should be the real her.

  She had never loved him——

  This, even his sworn brothers, have actually suspected many times, and it should be a certain thing.

  But he, for her, had long been unable to extricate himself, from that time many years ago when she suddenly left him.

  There is nothing in the world that Li Mo cannot get, even if it means stealing from his sworn brothers. She will never guess that he already knew about Yun Chenjing's plan to propose to the Palace Family before him, and had warned them beforehand. If they dare to accept Yun Chenjing's proposal, they will bear the consequences themselves. On the other hand, he will make her his queen and let the Palace Family enjoy all the glory and wealth. It's a choice between two options, and the Palace Family won't be foolish.

  Huā Yù Rǎn's two knees went weak, this was a situation that had never occurred to her before, and she had never imagined it would happen.

  Where? What's wrong with where?

  Suddenly became a mess in his mind, and his brain seemed to have turned into mush.

  She knew him as cold-blooded and unfeeling, never moved by emotions, even towards his own son. So she repeatedly warned her two sons to be mindful of their distance from him. It's hard for a son to win over his father, especially one known as the most ruthless in the world.

  To him, nothing is more important than his throne, his empire.

  It seems she was wrong somewhere, and terribly so.

  He didn't want nothing at all, but what he wanted was exactly what she couldn't give.

  Her body was going limp in his hands, and he cast a sidelong glance over, only to see Li Shunde and Liu Ayi standing guard at the bottom of the pavilion, occasionally casting worried glances this way, seemingly also having never seen them in such a state, extremely uneasy.

  "Go, tonight my concubine, Qiuxi, will serve me at the Jiulongchi. Help her get ready, half an incense stick later, I want to see her at the Jiulongchi."

  After finishing speaking, when everyone below was still in a state of shock, he suddenly let go of her with both hands, turned his sleeve and disappeared into the night.

  Huā Yùyán only felt that at the moment he withdrew his hand, his legs were already unable to stand, and slid down from the pillar.

  Liu's aunt hastily led people to rush up and support her, shouting anxiously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty——"

  They couldn't understand why she suddenly provoked his great anger. Moreover, this was something that had never happened before. It was an unimaginable situation for anyone. Because he spoiled her and indulged her, as always. For her, it was almost like he had never lost his temper. And she, too, had hardly ever been able to provoke him into anger. How could she, who usually obeyed him and tried to please him, have provoked him into anger?

  But tonight, suddenly, he tore open the truth.

  This truth seems to be unbearable for both of them.

  What he wants is not obedience, nor subjugation, but only that she loves him with a clear and transparent heart.

  How could she possibly give in? In a place where there has never been a shortage of strife and bloodshed?

  "Niang Niang." Liu Gugu cried out in a fluster.

  She tasted a bloody flavor in her mouth and realized that she had bitten her lip.

  "It's nothing, help me up." Her hand grasped the pillar of the pavilion, she wanted to stand up, must stand up. She was a princess who had never been afraid of anything, not even death.

  But then, after he tore through this layer of fog, how could she continue to deceive herself and him?

  Suddenly, in front of me, a thick fog rolled in and everything went black. By my ear, I heard Liu's voice: "Your Majesty! Someone is coming!"

  Tonight, the Emperor and Empress will spend the night in the Moon Chamber Hall. This is almost the first time this couple has returned to the palace formally. Before, even after Huayexiang came back, sometimes at night when needed, she would serve him in the Yongning Palace. This made a group of people in the Moon Chamber Hall frantically prepare things.

  Li Shunde stood at the door with his head bowed, covered in sweat. The dragon's face tonight was very different, too different, and he didn't know if it was because of the Great Yan spy infiltrating the palace. However, according to Li Zimo's temperament, such an incompetent Great Yan spy seemed not worth mentioning and shouldn't have caused the dragon's face to be so furious.

  Yes, he has never seen such a majestic dragon as tonight.

  Cloudy eyebrows, misty and ethereal complexion, three thousand strands of hair moving freely, even more so than the cloudy scenery, with a bit more freedom and **.

  At the moment when he glanced over, Li Shunde's knees directly softened: "I'm guilty, I'm guilty of death, that night, I didn't guard the gate of the emperor well, as a result, such a big thing happened, please punish me to death."

  "A death sentence?" The corners of his lips curled up coldly, "Do you think that just by dying, you can be free from it all?"

  Li Shunde's body trembled: "Your humble servant dares not, please let Your Majesty decide."

  "I ask you."

  "I'm here."

  "How is the Queen with me?"

  Li Shunde was shocked, could it be that this wasn't about the Empress Dowager's matter, but rather the Queen's matter? Both of these masters are not easy to offend. He spoke cautiously: "The Queen has always been loyal and devoted to His Majesty."

  This remark really made him laugh heartily from the bottom of his heart. That's right, even a servant could see how she felt about him, but he thought he was superior to everyone else.

  This feeling, for Li Zi Mo, was truly the first time. Was it painful? Maybe he had already become numb. Anger, firstly anger, angry to the point of wanting to strangle her, wanting to tie her up and strip off her skin bit by bit, to see what her heart was made of.

  How can she treat him like this?

  He was devoted to her, and only established her as his empress. He even had two imperial sons with her, ensuring her position would be secure forever, and gave her the phoenix seal. Yet she still suspected him, wondering if he might one day suddenly change his mind.

  Bang!

  That palm hit the table. Papers, pens, and inkstones flew wildly, scattering all over the floor. The scattered objects were just like his mood at this moment.

  He Lizi Mo understood from then on that this life, he only needed one woman, as long as she had a heart that loved him. However, up until now, he gave her wealth and glory, gave her status and identity, gave her endless pampering, but still couldn't get the heart that loved him, only getting a heart of a subordinate.

  It's really unclear whether he should be happy or sad about it. Or perhaps it's just a farce.

  If he weren't the Son of Heaven, would she have given him her heart?

  No, she's simply heartless, utterly heartless!

  A piece of paper picked up between fingers, pinched in the palm, is crushed.

  He wanted to pinch her to death, pinch her heart into pieces, pinch her into pieces.

  The mighty dragon energy in the house pressed down on Li Shunde's face, turning it purple, and he stumbled, shouting: "Your Majesty, please, please calm your anger——"

  Turning around, he saw that everyone standing at the entrance of the house was swaying, so he slightly restrained the energy released in his body and said: "Is it ready for the empress?"

  "Yes." Li Shunde didn't dare say anything else, and Huajing's face turned red for a moment.

  As he walked out the door, he suddenly ordered: "Keep those people from the Imperial Household Department. I've said it before, the Moon Chamber is under the management of the Empress, and the people from the Imperial Household Department are left for the Empress to deal with."

  "Yes. I understand." Li Shunde heard this sentence and let out a sigh of relief, indicating that he had calmed down, but seemingly without any intention to strip Huayeyan of her position as the future empress.

  However, in Huayu's mind now, a crazy idea has emerged. She should run away and leave the palace far behind. But what about her father, mother, and brother? She knew he wouldn't harm her son, but as for the people of the palace, that was hard to say.

  Do you love him? Like a woman loves a man?

  How to love?

  She never thought about how to love a man.

  Yun Chenjing said she was heartless and inhumane, perhaps it wasn't wrong. But she thought, what she had done was already good enough. Caring for him, loving him, serving him, why wasn't that considered good?

  What heartbreaks and what losses are like a knife cut for her, all of which are self-destructive and unimaginable.

  "Girl?" asked Liu Auntie, reminding her if she wanted to take off her clothes.

  No, she's not tonight.

  Because she didn't think of what to do. How was she supposed to come up with a strategy to deal with him? She didn't believe she couldn't think of a solution. She had been good enough to him, what wasn't he satisfied with? Love, such an illusory thing, she didn't understand it and wouldn't want it either.

  Liu Aunt saw that she had an expression as if she was going to fight with the Emperor, and could only be worried and anxious. Originally, she thought that she was jealous of Li Hua's affair and was being temperamental towards him, but now it seemed that it wasn't like that at all.

  But it should be said that this Moon Chamber Master is really too extraordinary, able to hook the emperor's thoughts into such a state. No wonder she can sit on the back seat, steadily sitting there, and no one can shake her.

  "Your Majesty." A line of palace maids chorused in unison and kowtowed.

  The golden silk curtains lifted, the nine-clawed golden dragon danced on the white dragon robe, shining brightly, with a million rays of light. Only the jade belt around his waist had flown away without a trace, and the dragon crown on his head was nowhere to be seen. The fluttering robes and the falling three thousand strands of hair made him even more radiant, adding a few more touches of demonic charm.

  Hua Yuye felt her throat constrict as she saw him walk in, his full lips seeming even more like the divine peach.

  She came in and saw that she hadn't changed her clothes yet.

  A flash of cold color in his eyes, then a wave of his hand, and everyone retreated.

  Liu's aunt was trembling with fear, and he glanced at her again: Your Majesty, you know that when the dragon is angry, it's best not to resist.

  She can't be unclear about this. To obey is to obey, only by obeying can we get through tonight safely.

  She got up from the couch on her own initiative, walked in front of him, stretched out both hands, as if to take the initiative to show good intentions. But he used a faster speed, one big palm flashed and tied her wrists with silk strips, tying a dead knot.

  "Your Majesty?" She was taken aback by his completely different behavior tonight. Biting her lip, trying to calm down and regain control, he pulled her all the way to the edge of the steaming Nine Dragon Pool and suddenly pushed her in.

  Bang.

  With her eyes closed, she felt the water engulfing her, pouring into her ears. Due to the restraints on her wrists and not being a good swimmer, she almost sank all the way down.

  Gululu, swallowed several mouthfuls of water, and finally found the feeling in her feet, stepped on the water a few times, and reached the bottom of the pool, managing to poke her head out of the water. But during this time, she had almost exhausted half of her strength.

  The moment she leaned back against the edge of the pool, he was like a giant dragon, covering her with his massive body.

  ……。

  The backyard of the fragrance powder shop in the capital city. Yu Shui Long's fingers were propped up on his forehead, and from time to time, he let out a low, muffled laugh. To the Da Yan people beside him, this laughter was like it came from the underworld, too frightening, making one shiver with fear.

  "Pear Blossom." Pinching the remaining green dust in her palm, possibly the last remnant of her existence, after a ruthless glint flashed across her eyes, she ruthlessly crushed the last bit of green dust to nothingness.

  After destroying the evidence and erasing all traces, the threat is now gone for him. However, his goal remains unfulfilled.

  That imperial concubine of the Qingyu Palace... gave a sly and enchanting glance with her green eyes.

  Such a clever woman, he had never seen before. Dongling Tianzi was so lucky to have married such a woman as the empress, and it must be completely worry-free. If this couple were to join forces, they might conquer the world. Thinking of this, the elegant lips curled up slightly: It seems that it is very necessary, if you can't get her, you must kill such a woman.

  At the moment, he didn't dare to make a move, lest Li Hua disappeared and the Second Prince would suspect him. However, if Li Hua was really gone, the one who should be worried was Yelu Qi.

  "Find someone and send a message to the Second Prince, saying that the Third Princess may have gone missing in the palace."

  The news reached the residence of Yelü Qi, the second prince of Dashiwei, in the embassy.

  Ba Ge received the news and his expression changed suddenly, he immediately walked into the house to report.

  Yelü Qi, who was said to be bedridden with illness outside, lay on the bed with slightly short breath. He was actually pretending to be ill, and with his strong body like a wild bull, he thought that a minor dysentery should recover quickly. However, he did not expect that this self-infected dysentery would torture him for several days, and even now, he still had diarrhea every day, and it was unknown how long it would take to get better. Of course, due to his strong body, it didn't lead to him really being unable to get out of bed at all.

  With the help of others, he sat up and heard Ba Ge say:

  "The second prince and third princess are in the palace, with no news. I heard that some people from the Imperial Household Department have been arrested. I wonder if it's because of the third princess's misdeeds being exposed?"

  "What? You said Pear Blossom was caught by them?" Yelü Qi asked with a pair of big, bulging eyes. Pear Blossom was his own younger sister after all.

  Ba Ge said: "Is it being caught, is it being taken into the great prison? Now the subordinate is looking for someone to prepare to sneak into the palace to ask. However——"

  "But?"

  "It's highly likely that the Third Princess has met with misfortune. Because, the Third Princess left behind a silk ribbon at the Second Prince's place -" Bagu reminded him of the silk ribbon on the bedside table next to the bed.

  All that can be seen is the pink ribbon, which originally had a lively and refreshing air like pear blossoms. Now, its color has suddenly dulled, as if it had become a bloodless white cloth, looking like a mourning white cloth, shocking at first sight.

  Yelü Qi saw the color of that ribbon and suddenly a thread of blackness appeared before his eyes, he didn't know if it was due to illness.

  "The Second Prince——" Bagu rushed forward and supported him, saying anxiously.

  "The king tells you——" Yelü Qi's palm suddenly grasped his shoulder blade, the force so great that Bagu clenched his lips, "She is my own sister. The king threatened her that returning to the country might mean death, was he deceiving her, do you know?"

  "Everyone knows, the Second Prince, that you know too, otherwise the Second Prince wouldn't have brought the Third Princess with him when he went abroad, it's because he was afraid that if the Third Princess stayed in the country alone, she would encounter danger." Ba Ge said to him with a glint in his eyes.

  "Yes, you're absolutely right." Yelü Qi patted him heavily on the shoulder. "This king, whoever dares to cross this king and kill her, this king will definitely make them die a gruesome death, as an offering for her life."

  Ba Ge nodded heavily.

  "You said, who would be the one in the palace to poison her?"

  Ba Ge thought hard: "Could it be the Emperor, or perhaps..."

  "No." Yelü Qi interrupted him, "He is a man of great stature, if he really wanted to kill Lihua, with his temper, he should have brought Lihua to me and humiliated me, making me kill Lihua in front of him. This method of making Lihua suddenly disappear is a sinister move, not something that Lihua could do."

  Ba Ge caught his words and said, "The Second Prince is right. As the Emperor of Dongling, Li Zimo would not stoop to such petty actions. However, it was because the Third Princess entered the palace to seduce the Emperor that she touched upon certain women's interests, leading this woman to take action. Therefore, the killer who murdered the Third Princess should be——"

  The Empress Dowager's palace is full of jasmine!

  Thinking of those starry eyes shining brightly, the flowing colors in them make one want to pluck them out with their own hands or crush them with a single pinch.

  Yelü Chilun sneered twice and said: "At first, it was I who missed the opportunity because of Xian Wang's obstruction. This time, I will not miss the chance again."

  "But the Eastern Palace is heavily guarded, and if we really want to force our way in with real guns and knives, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand it. Unless... unless we do it like the Third Princess did, and poison them from within." Ba Ge suggested.

  Shaking his head, Ye Luqi said: "You see Lihua has been poisoned and was caught. It's possible that someone in the Dongling Imperial Palace already knew she didn't use a deadly poison and intentionally set a trap for her. As you said, the Dongling Imperial Palace is heavily guarded, whether by force or stealth, it's likely to be futile. Lihua is already a bloody lesson."

  "What's to be done?" Bagheera asked.

  "Find someone to keep an eye on the Empress's maternal family and wait for an opportunity."

  Ba Ge's eyes lit up: "Yes, Second Prince."

  The husband's birthday is approaching. Mrs. Gong made a new set of clothes for Mr. Gong, and also booked a famous chef from the Fragrant Full Building in the capital to come to the Gong residence to prepare a birthday banquet for Mr. Gong. In accordance with Mr. Gong's habit of not liking to show off, Mrs. Gong only sent out invitations to a few close friends of Mr. Gong. On that day, according to Mrs. Gong's calculations, including her husband's students and their son's classmates, there were only about ten people in total. The arrangements were not grand, so they would not be gossiped about by outsiders.

  The Gong family has always been cautious in their actions, and Madame Gong would never do anything to tarnish the family's reputation. The only thing that worries her is not even her son's marriage - as a first-rank official, he can marry anyone and she will take care of him at home. But her daughter, Gong Xiuxiu, married into the imperial palace, with high status and great power, yet extremely unreliable, making Madame Gong anxious almost every day.

  Because she saw it early. Her son-in-law, the man who was the emperor, was absolutely not a thrifty lamp. If her daughter couldn't thoroughly understand this point, she would definitely have a bitter ending.

  Last night, I slept fitfully and couldn't remember what dreams I had. When I got up, Madame Wang felt a bit dizzy and asked, "Is it going to rain?"

  She lifted the curtain and heard Linglong say with a smile: "Madam, it's sunny outside." After finishing speaking, she supported Madame down from the bed, first pouring her a cup of tea, then telling in detail about this morning's events: "The weather is fine, the princess of the Duke of Chang's manor sent someone to deliver a message, saying that she wants to ask if Madam is interested in going together to White Dragon Temple to burn incense?"

  It just so happens that the imperial historian's birthday is approaching. Every year at this time, she would habitually go to the White Dragon Temple to draw a divination lot and ask about her official luck for the coming year.

  "When is the county master coming?" asked Madame Gong, putting down her tea cup.

  Linglong smiled and said: "The county master's servant said that after the county master goes to pick up two friends, he will come over together to pick up the palace lady."

  Li Ji-yao is a person who loves excitement, especially when it comes to people she likes. Since they are all together, after making an appointment with the Empress Dowager, she went early into the palace to find her favorite imperial sister-in-law and had to pry the imperial sister-in-law away from her imperial brother's hands.

  The Empress Dowager now lives in the Moon Chamber Hall, and Li Jiayao rushes to the Moon Chamber Hall without letting anyone inform the Emperor's territory in Yongning Hall. However, unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the Moon Chamber Hall, she saw a palace maid lift the curtain, and walking out of the red silk curtain was her brother, the Emperor.

  Li Ji-yao immediately felt embarrassed and ashamed, her face flushed with shame, and she quickly knelt down: "Your humble servant's daughter pays respects to Your Majesty."

  He quietly raised his gaze, and saw that today's Emperor brother was extremely different from before. The plain white clothes wrapped around Li Zimo's long body, fluttering like a fairy, without even tying a jade belt, revealing a carefree air. Three thousand black silk strands floated freely on the white robe, untamed and seemingly enchanting. His long, cloud-like eyebrows, sharp as usual, now seemed to reveal a hint of last night's passion, showing off a few shades of rich color. His thin, chiseled lips were full and luscious like strawberries, fresh and vibrant in color.

  Looking at this young girl with unfinished business, her heart was pounding. Usually, she knew that the emperor's brother was handsome and unparalleled, even captivating the second beauty in the world. However, as usual, Li Zimo only had an expressionless face, keeping people at a distance of thousands of miles. Where did he look like today? With his rosy cheeks and enchanting charm, he was completely captivating, and her heart was hooked.

  "Looking for your royal sister-in-law?" A pair of dark eyes under his furrowed brows scanned her slightly flushed young face.

  "Yes." Li Ji Yao hastily calmed her mind.

  "Come back after noon." He dismissed her with a single sentence.

  It's past noon, isn't it afternoon?

  Li Ji Yao was stunned.

  Behind the mosquito net, from a very far and deep place, a woman's low moan seemed to be heard. She was so frightened that she almost jumped up on the spot.

  The eunuchs outside the palace, not one dared to move. Liu's face was pale, thinking about last night's commotion that lasted all night, it seemed that the emperor who came out didn't look satisfied, and the master inside, wouldn't he be left with only half his life?

  A hint of panic flashed across the county master's face, and Li Zimo said: "If you come over at noon again, if you don't see anyone, come back tomorrow."

  Having said that, he left behind Li Ji Yao with a blank face who didn't know what he meant, and the white robe floated back into the tent.

  Before long, those sounds, which cannot be described, were transmitted mournfully outside the tent.

  Li Ji-yao's face turned white as soon as she heard whose voice it was, and then suddenly flushed bright red.

  Liu Aunt hastily coaxed her out the door, and as she walked out of the house, she closed both doors behind her and said: "The young lady can leave now. The young lady has seen everything, but the master is too busy."

  Li Ji Yao wanted to cover her face with her hands. Although she knew that her imperial brother would not fail to pamper the empress every day, and dote on her to the point of being excessive, this was still the first time she had encountered such a situation, which made her heart as a young girl feel shy. She heard Huayu's voice calling out, sounding like it came from the clouds.

  Hurriedly ran down the stairs and jumped into the carriage.

  Sanqi saw her and asked: "Isn't the princess going to find the empress dowager?"

  "Stop it." Li Ji-yao covered her face with both hands, her thin skin burning from the heat. Back then, when people said that her father and mother, the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince, had a good relationship, there was never such a commotion in their room. The sound of Hua Xi-yan's voice made her feel like she was on fire all over. It was clear that her imperial brother loved his wife to death!

  Thinking of this, Li Ji Yao's face turned pale again. Could it be that Hua Xi Yan had offended her imperial brother in some way? And definitely in the place where he was most angry, otherwise how could this have happened?

  Suddenly panicked at heart.

  "Princess?" Sanqi saw her face turning red and white, as if she had fallen ill, and worriedly thought to touch her forehead to see if she had a fever.

  Li Jiya opened her hand and said, "Go, first follow the plan, go find Miss Qi's family."

  "What's going on with Her Majesty?" Sanqi still didn't understand what was happening.

  "We'll talk about it later." Li Ji Yao said calmly.

  Qiyun Yanyu, as the Moon Chamber Palace's walking eunuch, was supposed to report to Hua Xiyue every morning. However, this morning, before sunrise, at dawn, when she arrived at the palace, like Li Jiuyao, she was rejected. It was said that the Empress Dowager was busy serving the Emperor.

  Both princes were born. Unexpectedly, the emperor's energy did not decline, but instead became even more vigorous. In Qi Yunyan's view, it was all somewhat unbelievable and incomprehensible.

  Sometimes, thinking of Palace Concubine Xi now as the Empress, before she became the Empress, when interacting with her and talking to her, the faint indifference on her face, Qi Yunyan, also feels like she can understand that Emperor a bit.

  Her best friend, who became the empress, was very considerate of her natal family and cared about the people. She wholeheartedly assisted the current emperor with a loyal heart, almost flawless in her perfection. However, perfect people absolutely have another word that coexists, which is heartless.

  Because there is no heart and no private mind, Gong Xiucai can perform almost perfectly.

  Zi Yun let out a deep sigh, walked to the palace gate, and was about to get into the sedan chair when she saw some high-ranking officials also preparing to enter the palace for an audience. Among them, the blue-flowered sedan chair belonging to the imperial family was particularly eye-catching.

  She subconsciously hid, before he got out of the sedan chair, and hastily retreated into her own sedan chair. Even so, she couldn't help but gently lift the curtain to look at his elegant figure walking among the officials, which was so different from the others, like a refreshing breeze blowing in front of her, and the worldly air was blown away by this refreshing breeze in an instant.

  "Miss?" asked the servant who accompanied her.

  She hastily dropped the curtain: "Go back to the mansion."

  The room is dimly lit, this is the Jiulongchi, located in the depths of the palace, with no windows or doors on all sides, and the sunlight cannot shine through. In such a place without sunlight, everything is complete, and the luxury is worthy of being the most luxurious place in the Dongling imperial family.
