Chapter 108: Making Trouble

It's incredible.

Five years ago, at Emperor Jingxuan's birthday banquet, Yun Wan accompanied Old Lady Lu into the palace to celebrate.

The banquet was grand and lasted from noon to evening. The old lady and other court ladies drank a few sips of wine and could no longer hold on by the evening.

Yun Wan helped her to the side room to rest. After helping the old lady fall asleep, she walked around to get some fresh air. Unexpectedly, she heard someone saying words like "Your Majesty" and "Opportunity".

Yun Wan had no intention of getting involved and had no interest in the secrets of the palace, so she planned to leave as soon as possible.

Who knows that the more careful you are, the more mistakes you make.

After noticing footsteps coming towards him, Yun Wan decisively covered his face with his sleeves and ran in the opposite direction.

It was a bamboo forest, lush and green. The only downside was that there was no place to hide.

Yun Wan still remembered that he ran forward desperately, not knowing where he was until he saw the bamboo attic.

He could faintly hear footsteps behind him, so Yun Wan went into the attic without hesitation, hoping to hide there.

The attic has only one floor, the bottom is suspended in the air, and you need to climb stairs to get up.

Yun Wan, who was already exhausted from running all the way, closed the door and fell down after entering the attic. He was so exhausted that he didn't notice anything unusual in the house.

By the time she came to her senses, it was too late.

She inhaled the aphrodisiac and, in a daze, had physical contact with the drunk and aphrodisiac man.

And this man is actually the host of today's birthday banquet - the current emperor!

The dragon-patterned robes he wore and the unique ambergris he exuded all revealed his identity.

Yun Wan woke up before she drank any wine, and then she encountered a fire in the palace and the appearance of assassins. Taking advantage of the chaos in the palace, she escaped without attracting any attention.

After leaving the palace and returning to the Duke's Mansion, Yun Wan was shocked to realize that she had left her handkerchief somewhere. Not only that, the emperor's ring was also left on her.

Yun Wan didn't dare show any abnormality, nor did she dare let anyone notice. She just thought it was a dream, and after waking up she acted as if nothing had happened.

She thought she could hide forever, and that she would never have any connection with the master of the imperial city again in this life. However, she knew that things are unpredictable and things go astray.

She has now become his concubine.

"It turned out that it was stuck in Madam's chest and went home with her."

Emperor Jingxuan sighed, his eyes falling on her collar. He said in an ambiguous tone, "It and Madam have been intimate, and it has been with you for five years. Yet, you were so cruel as to abandon it and throw it into the stable!"

Yun Wan:.........

After going around in circles, I came back again.

But she had nothing to say about this issue, the explanation had already been given.

Seeing her expression, Emperor Jingxuan knew that she had no idea why she was angry?

His anger grew instead of subsiding, and Yun Wan felt that something was wrong.

Is he still dissatisfied? Feeling humiliated?

Under Emperor Jingxuan's cold gaze, Yun Wan stood up and knelt on the ground, saying submissively, "I have no intention of hiding anything, and I was not the one who framed you back then. I wanted to keep this secret for the rest of my life, but you still found out."

He was angry, and Yun Wan knew that the most urgent thing was to dispel his doubts. She couldn't let the incident five years ago become a barrier between them, just like the bed-climbing incident. She couldn't leave him with the impression that she was casual and frivolous.

No matter what, she should be portrayed as 'forced'.

"If Your Majesty holds a grudge against me, I have nothing to say. I will accept the punishment. I only ask that you do not implicate the innocent."

Implicate innocent people.

Emperor Jingxuan's face darkened slightly and he paused for a moment.

In a split second, Emperor Jingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Madam, tell me the truth, are you hiding anything from me?"

Yun Wan shook her head frankly: "No."

Emperor Jingxuan pursed his lips, "Really?"

Yun Wan didn't know if he was deliberately testing her or if he knew something else, so she immediately said cautiously, "I've already confessed the biggest secret of my life to you. Do you think there's anything else I can hide from you?"

Emperor Jingxuan: "When was Lu Changsui's birthday?"

When Asui was mentioned, Yun Wan realized how sharp he was and how he thought of the child so quickly.

"March."

There is nothing to hide about this matter, and you will know the truth once you investigate.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingxuan's eyes were burning.

Yun Wan remained calm and said, "I know what Your Majesty is suspicious of, but when I returned that day, I grabbed two doses of contraceptive soup, so Asui's child..."

Her meaning was self-evident.

"Besides, my husband was seriously ill at that time, and the old lady wanted him to have a child."

The implication is that although Lu Fenglan is seriously ill, he is still capable of taking action.

Yun Wan spoke ambiguously, thinking that this was not really lying to him.

The contraceptive soup is real, and the old lady’s desire to have children is also real.

She didn't know if what she did was right or not, but now that she had just been made a concubine, a big tree attracts the wind, and Asui's identity as a child of the Lu family could actually protect him better.

When Emperor Jingxuan heard that she had drunk the contraceptive soup, he was angry and disappointed.

He was angry that she was so rational and wanted to drink contraceptive soup after having physical contact with him, and he was disappointed that Lu Changsui was not his son.

He said coldly, "Don't tell me about the matter between Madam and him."

Whatever.

"If it's not true, then it's not true. Madam and I have plenty of time in the future. Maybe Madam is already pregnant with my child."

After saying that, he snorted.

Yun Wan moved her lips but didn't pour cold water on him.

When she woke up this morning, her period had arrived.

"I haven't asked my wife yet what you said to Lu Yuanduo near the Lu family stables today?" Emperor Jingxuan asked casually.

Yun Wan was stunned. "Didn't His Majesty's people tell you?"

She knew that he had someone in the Lu family, but she didn't expect that he also knew about her conversation with Lu Yuanduo, and she immediately felt uncomfortable.

Emperor Jingxuan smiled and said in an ambiguous tone, "Madam, are you unwilling to tell me or do you not want to tell me?"

Yun Wan felt a little annoyed when he heard this, and blurted out: "This has nothing to do with this matter, please don't make trouble for no reason——"

Emperor Jingxuan was stunned and said incredulously: "You think I am being unreasonable?"

Knowing he had spoken out of turn, Yun Wan quickly denied it: "No..."

The next second, he was furious and stood up with a bang, "Am I being unreasonable, or is it that Madam feels guilty?"

When a man looks at another man, he knows exactly what he is seeing. He could tell at a glance that Lu Yuanduo had feelings for her.

"His Majesty!"

Yun Wan couldn't believe it: "You can't slander me just because you're angry!"

Emperor Jingxuan opened his mouth, said "Madam, take care of yourself", and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Seeing his master coming out in a threatening manner, Jiang Fusheng felt uneasy.

He heard the two masters arguing endlessly, although the result was that his Majesty left in anger.

After leaving the Purple Palace, Emperor Jingxuan suddenly felt a little regretful, but as a dignified emperor, he could not go back, otherwise where would his face be?

So he simply went to the Qinzheng Hall.

Unable to read the piles of memorials, Emperor Jingxuan summoned the Black Dragon Guards:

"Go investigate what happened before and after the Madam's pregnancy, and everything that happened to that kid Lu Changsui from birth to the present. The more detailed the better."

His eyes were dim, and Asui's eyes flashed through his mind.

The faster the lady denied it, the more he felt there was something fishy going on.
