Chapter 100 Reconciliation

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, only you can persuade the Emperor." Li Dexian knelt on the ground as soon as he came in.

Wen Wanyu was startled: "You get up first."

Li Dexian shook his head, tears welling in his eyes as he said, "Forgive my boldness for once, Your Majesty. The Emperor has locked himself in the palace for a whole day. Only you can persuade him to stay."

"I'm afraid if I go there, I'll just add fuel to the fire." Wen Wanyu lowered her eyes.

Li Dexian said excitedly, "No, no. Although the emperor is angry with you, he always thinks of you. The last time the second prince passed away, it was you who persuaded the emperor."

"I beg Your Majesty to show some sympathy for the Emperor once more." Li Dexian kowtowed. In his heart, nothing was more important than the Emperor.

Wen Wanyu was very confused and nodded randomly.

Wen Wanyu put on a cloak and rushed to Chengqian Palace.

She and Li Dexian stood in front of the closed door, leaning on it to listen to the movements inside the house, but unfortunately, they didn't hear any sound.

Li Dexian waved his hand and said softly, "Speak, please."

Wen Wanyu cleared his throat, trying to restore his voice to its natural tone, "Your Majesty, it's me."

There was still no movement in the room.

Li Dexian waved his hand: "Please say a few more words. Say a few more words."

Wen Wanyu raised her voice a little: "Your Majesty! I have something to ask you. May I come in?"

There was still no movement in the room.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent!" Wen Wanyu put her hand on the door and pretended to make some movement, "I'm coming in!"

"I'm really coming in!"

The room was still as quiet as if no one was there.

Wen Wanyu prepared herself mentally, pushed the door open, looked around but saw no one, "Your Majesty, are you in there?"

"What are you doing here?" A voice came from behind. Wen Wanyu was so scared that she trembled all over. She turned around and saw Xie Junyao leaning against the pillar behind the door, holding a pot of wine in his hand, with blue stubble on his chin and dark circles under his eyes.

She looked at Xie Junyao speechlessly: "Your Majesty, what are you doing sitting behind the door?"

Xie Junyao looked up at her, his voice hoarse: "Tell me, why did you all lie to me?"

"ah?"

Who else has deceived the Emperor?

Wen Wanyu walked over and sat beside him. After thinking deeply, she apologized to him, "I'm sorry. I won't lie to you again."

Xie Junyao took a big sip of wine and said, "If you pity me, I don't need your apology."

"I'm not feeling sorry for you, nor am I acting. I'm really sorry." Wen Wanyu said sincerely, holding his hand.

Xie Junyao smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "Look at me, I'm soft-hearted again."

Wen Wanyu didn't understand what he meant. The next moment, someone hugged her tightly, and a muffled voice came from her shoulder, "Don't lie to me again."

"good."

Xie Junyao let her go and tapped her forehead: "If you dare to lie to me, I will lock you up."

Wen Wanyu lowered her head and smiled. SM? She reached out and poked his chin, "The emperor looks really ugly with a beard."

"snort."

The two of them had reconciled and were back to being together all the time.

Jin Jieyu was entangled by Lin Fenyi, and Lin Fenyi persuaded her for her own good.

"You are a princess, and the apple of Minister Shen's eye. Yet, you are outshined by Ling Zhaoyuan. Concubine Jin, don't you feel unfairly treated?"

Wen Wanyu happened to be coming out of Chengqian Palace and passing by the Plum Garden. He stopped and heard Lin Fenyi's voice.

"So what if it's unfair? Besides, that's her ability." Concubine Jin glanced at Lin Fenyi indifferently.

She still remembered the time when Concubine Wan let a "female ghost" scare her. Those who were with Concubine Wan were not good people.

Wen Wanyu said, "Lin Fenyi hates me so much."

The two were startled, and Lin Fenyi's face changed, "Ling Zhaoyuan?"

The two of them bowed slightly and said, "Greetings to Ling Zhaoyuan."

Wen Wanyu smiled slightly, "I didn't eavesdrop on you on purpose. I didn't expect that Lin Fenyi still hates me so much."

Lin Fenyi was shocked. Or? Did she really recover her memory?

Wen Wanyu didn't intend to listen to Lin Fenyi's excuses: "I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

These days, the Jinxiu Palace is bustling with people.

The imperial concubines came to congratulate one after another.

Concubine Wan sipped her tea, looking very proud. Her hair was tied up high, and her golden hairpin inlaid with jeweled butterflies sparkled. She looked as bright as a spring flower.

Lin Fenyi ran in hurriedly: "Madam..."

Concubine Wan: "What's the matter?"

"Ling Zhaoyuan has recovered her memory."

Concubine Wan frowned in displeasure, "What does her regaining her memory have to do with you? Why are you so flustered?"

After realizing it belatedly, he put down the teacup and asked, "Could it be that her amnesia is related to you?"

Lin Fenyi nodded.

"You are so confused." Concubine Wan frowned and glared at her: "You even hid it from me."

After much difficulty, she was promoted and became the only imperial concubine in the harem.

Concubine Wan withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. Ling Zhaoyuan has fallen from favor, and we can't miss this opportunity to make her never remember it."

Lin Fenyi was surprised: "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."

Only the dead...

Concubine Wan said cryptically, "I have no knowledge of this matter. I cannot help you. I have already pointed out what I should have pointed out."

Lin Fenyi felt a lump in her throat: "I understand."

Concubine Wan is trying to distance herself from the matter.
