Chapter 57 play

Wen Wanyu entered the hall, but did not see Xie Junyao. When she was still wondering where he was going, someone suddenly patted her shoulder.

Wen Wanyu had experienced this kind of prank so many times that it didn't frighten her at all. She calmly looked sideways at the hand on her shoulder, then raised her head to look at Xie Junyao.

A look of helplessness.

The emperor of a country is so childish that he plays the game of scaring me and me scaring you.

Xie Junyao touched his nose awkwardly. He had wanted to test her courage, but he hadn't expected her to be so brave.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Wen Wanyu covered her chest and said in a very cooperative tone, "Oh, you scared me."

Xie Junyao: “…”

It couldn't be more fake.

"It's okay. I just happened to be behind you." Xie Junyao straightened his sleeves pretending to be calm.

Wen Wanyu smiled, "Your Majesty, what were you doing just now?"

Xie Junyao really didn't want to admit that he had just wanted to scare her. He looked around and finally his eyes fell on a vase. "I think this vase is a little crooked."

After saying that, he walked over to the vase and straightened it.

Sure enough, people get busy when they're embarrassed.

Wen Wanyu walked over with a smile: "So that's how it is. I thought you were trying to scare me on purpose."

Xie Junyao said with a straight face: "How is that possible?"

"I heard that you 'caught a ghost' last night?"

Wen Wanyu nodded.

"How can you be so brave? And how can you be sure that it was a person in disguise?"

Xie Junyao sat on the chair.

Wen Wanyu's black eyes were clear and round: "I have always been very brave, but the emperor just didn't notice..."

Xie Junyao's expression suddenly turned serious, and he hooked his finger at her. Wen Wanyu leaned forward to listen.

“…”

His words were too explicit, and her cheeks flushed crimson, the burning sensation spreading to her ears. Her eyes widened, and her ears were red.

"Your Majesty, you are too indecent."

What kind of person is this? How could he bring up things that happened in the bedroom?

The blazing light poured in from the window, casting mottled shadows on her body, making her golden hair glow.

Her voice was soft and her face was still shy.

Xie Junyao thought her angry look was adorable, but also funny: "What's wrong, are you angry?"

"No…"

Xie Junyao hugged her waist, spread her legs, and made her sit face to face with him.

"Alright, alright, stop being angry. How did you catch the 'ghost' yesterday? Tell me about it."

Wen Wanyu wasn't angry, she was just shy. She lowered her head, not daring to look at him. "It's like this, like that, and then like this, like that, like that."

Xie Junyao laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

She didn't dare move. She wanted to clearly feel the giant thing beneath her slowly awakening. It was completely out of her control. Her cheeks, which had finally cooled, began to burn again.

Xie Junyao pressed her waist and deliberately let her feel it.

Wen Wanyu didn't dare move. His body was stiff, his fists clenched in vain, and this time he couldn't even breathe.

"Right here, okay?" Xie Junyao said half-coaxingly.

Wen Wanyu was really frightened this time. Not to mention that they were still in the outer hall and the servants were guarding outside, if someone came in...

Biting her lip: "Someone is outside."

"They don't dare to come in." Xie Junyao buried his face in her neck, his voice unclear.

Wen Wanyu wanted to cry but had no tears. She pushed him and said, "They will come in."

Xie Junyao raised his head, cleared his throat, and said to the outside: "No one is allowed to come in without my order."

"yes."

Xie Junyao looked at her: "Now you can rest assured."

…

Wen Wanyu was sleeping soundly in the bedroom, not realizing that the person next to her had left the bedroom.

Li Dexian was at his wit's end. The emperor had ordered that no one should be allowed into the palace. He tried to persuade Concubine Wan, but not only did she not appreciate it, she even knelt outside.

Li Dexian had no choice but to ask Xie Junyao to come in. Coincidentally, Xie Junyao had just finished his session and let her in.

Xie Junyao looked very satisfied and in a good mood: "Why are you here?"

Concubine Wan cried and said, "I come to admit my mistake."

"Um."

"I had people dress up as ghosts in the palace, causing panic among the people. Many people were frightened and became sick. This is all my fault. I beg for your forgiveness, Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Xie Junyao suddenly smiled.

"Concubine Wan, you've been in the palace for so many years, why haven't you made any progress? You even asked someone to dress up as a ghost to scare people. What exactly do you want to do?"

Concubine Wan wiped her tears and said delicately, "I was deceived by the storybook for a moment. I thought I could use the ghost to scare the truth out of her. Let's give Lin Cainu justice."

"From now on, all your storybooks will be burned." Xie Junyao waved his hand in disdain.

This is not a storybook.

"I know I was wrong, Your Majesty." Concubine Wan acted coquettishly, trying to get away with it.

She hated Wen Wanyu in her heart. If Wen Wanyu hadn't come up with a "ghost catching plan" for no reason, she would have already found out the truth and the manipulator behind the scenes.

When it came to something serious, Xie Junyao didn't buy it anymore. He said with a sullen face, "Let me ask you, why did you scare Concubine Ling? Concubine Ling was also poisoned, so what does it have to do with her?"

Concubine Wan couldn't say that she was jealous and hated Wen Wanyu, so she deliberately let the "ghost" scare Wen Wanyu, right?

"I...I also suspect Concubine Ling."

"absurd!"

Xie Junyao slapped the table with his palm, and Concubine Wan was frightened.

Xie Junyao was indeed furious. This reason was too absurd. It was too ridiculous.

"Go and apologize to Concubine Ling and Concubine Jin in person, and then return to your Jinxiu Palace to reflect on your mistakes. This is the last time. If you do it again, I will no longer care about Lord Yang, let alone the reputation of the Yang family." Xie Junyao held his forehead and stopped looking at her.

Concubine Wan looked at Xie Junyao in surprise.

It was okay to put her under house arrest, but the emperor actually asked her to apologize to Wen Wanyu and Concubine Jin.

She can't do it.

She wanted to speak up for herself, but Xie Junyao no longer wanted to see her.

She had no choice but to leave.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Xie Junyao finished reviewing the memorial. He took a sip of tea and suddenly remembered that there was someone else in the bedroom.

From noon to afternoon, it is two hours.

She hasn't woken up yet?

Xie Junyao suddenly envied her for being able to sleep for the entire afternoon without any care in the world.

After entering the bedroom and pulling her up, Wen Wanyu couldn't open her eyes and muttered, "Is it time to pay my respects?"

Xie Junyao chuckled, "Why are you still sleepy?"

Xie Junyao held her shoulders to prevent her from falling further.

Wen Wanyu looked confused, and then he realized that he was still in Chengqian Palace.

"Are you going to sleep tonight?"

Wen Wanyu nodded.

Xie Junyao doesn't feel guilty at all.

Wen Wanyu gradually woke up. If he hadn't been an inhuman being, could she have slept for so long?
