Chapter 254: The Imperial Concubine Summons

It was already dark outside, and when His Majesty rushed out, it was already dark.

Lin Anben had been dozing off at the door, but when he saw the Emperor coming out angrily, he was so scared that he quickly got up from the ground.

"Your Majesty." Lin An adjusted the hat on his head and hurriedly followed behind His Majesty.

He followed the Emperor, shrinking his body and not daring to say a word.

What did Concubine Rong do to make His Majesty so angry? Lin An followed beside him, racking his brains to think of the solution.

His Majesty had promised to come to Concubine Rong's palace, but he always waited until the next morning. But it never happened that he would go back so early.

He was extremely nervous, but when he looked up, he saw that the Emperor's face, which was full of anger just now, was now completely without any anger at all.

Just now, did His Majesty do that on purpose?

Lin An raised his eyebrows, and all the thoughts in his mind disappeared at this moment.

He followed the Emperor with a lantern in hand. In silence, someone was following him quietly.

It was not until he saw the Emperor's sedan chair moving towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity that he stopped following.

Lin An followed the Emperor all the way back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

As soon as he arrived at the inner hall, Xiao Yu asked someone to bring him a cloak: "Your Majesty, are you going out?"

Lin An was puzzled, but he immediately found a cloak and put it on the Emperor.

It was a cold winter night. Xiao Yu waved his hand to let Lin An go down and tied the thin straps of his cloak himself: "Have you found the bucket of Dongzhu that I asked you to find?"

Lin An immediately went to look for it: "I just found it and was about to send it to the Hehuan Palace."

But it was too late, and going there at this time might disturb Miss Shen Fu.

Lin An thought that waking up Miss Shen Fu from her sleep would be a serious crime, so he put the bag away and planned to send it off early tomorrow morning.

But just as he arrived at Changchun Palace, he bumped into the Emperor coming out.

Of course, Lin Anke didn't dare to say this casually.

He just held the box in front of His Majesty and said, "Do you want me to send it over right now?"

"No need." Xiao Yu stretched out his hand, took the brocade box and put it in his arms: "I will go there myself."

Late at night, the door of the Qianqing Palace had just been closed, and after a while it opened quietly again.

Xiao Yu took Lin An and walked quietly towards the Hehuan Palace.

The door of the Hehuan Hall had been closed long ago.

Chen Fu has always liked quietness and she basically doesn't get involved in the affairs of the harem. She doesn't care about anything, big or small, in the harem.

He had just gone to Changchun Palace, but she was fine, sleeping peacefully?

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at the closed door in front of him. It was unclear whether his phoenix eyes contained anger or smile.

Before he left, he clearly asked Shen Fu to wait for him. Shen Fu obviously heard it too.

Now that you've heard it, how dare you turn him away?

His Majesty did not move for a long time. Lin An, who was standing beside him, glanced at His Majesty and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, the door is closed. Can I call someone to open it?"

"No need." Xiao Yu pinched his brows and waved his hand.

He first returned to the Qianqing Palace from Changchun Palace, and then turned from the Qianqing Palace to the Hehuan Palace.

It was originally intended to conceal the truth from others.

If Lin An asked someone to open the door and caused such a big commotion, everyone in the palace would know about it.

Wouldn't it be a waste of his trip?

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on the gate in front of him, and his brows turned worried again.

"Your Majesty." Lin An, who was standing aside, walked forward cautiously.

"I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Xiao Yu was tall, and when he lowered his eyes to look down, Lin An looked particularly short.

But he looked up with a flattering face: "I know that there is a low wall next to the Hehuan Palace. It was originally where the talented lady from the side hall lived. But since the talented lady passed away, the low wall was also demolished..."

Lin An stopped talking immediately when he got to this point: "You can go in there."

"I am an emperor!" Xiao Yu subconsciously began to refute.

But when the words came to my lips, I looked at the closed door in front of me.

In the end, he still pinched his brows and took a deep breath: "Take me there."

It was exceptionally quiet in the Hehuan Hall.

As soon as Xiao Yu stepped into the house, he smelled a familiar fragrance.

It was on Shen Fu.

The ambergris in Changchun Palace is too strong. Xiao Yu still feels uncomfortable in his nose whenever he thinks about it.

He stood in the middle of the hall, took a deep breath, and then walked into the house.

Shen Fu is in the inner hall.

His Majesty has been to the Hehuan Palace several times and is very familiar with the place.

The hands that opened the beaded curtain were gentle. Xiao Yu held his breath, slowed down his pace and walked towards the bed.

The light-colored curtains were draped across the ground, covering the view from the bed. There was a candle on the rosewood candlestick by the windowsill, filling the room with candlelight.

Xiao Yu slowed down his pace and glanced at the charcoal basin next to him. Shen Fu is afraid of cold. Although it was not snowing, there were still three or four charcoal fires lit in the house.

The house is warm and toasty.

Xiao Yu walked over, first stretched out his hands to warm them in the charcoal brazier, then he lifted the curtain and walked in.

As soon as I opened the bed, I could smell the fragrance coming from inside. Exceptionally fresh and elegant.

Xiao Yu bent over and looked inside. Shen Fu was sleeping soundly on the bed.

The beauty is charming, with her hair in disarray. The dim candlelight flickered slightly. Chen Fu lay sideways on the bed, her curled eyelashes drooping slightly, sleeping soundly.

Xiao Yu looked at Chen Fu's face.

That glance in the daytime with heavy makeup on is stunning. At this moment, she was bare-faced, but she looked pure and innocent.

Xiao Yu thought about the day.

He thought that Shen Fu always had a way to make him addicted again and again.

He leaned over the bed.

He looked at Shen Fu quietly for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, Shen Fu on the bed murmured, and he seemed to wake up from a dream.

"You slept soundly." Xiao Yu lowered his voice and looked at Chen Fu, but he couldn't hide the doting in his eyes.

He was trapped outside and suffered from the cold, but Chen Fu was fine. She turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and didn't care about anything.

Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and looked at Chen Fu's sleeping face. I still feel unhappy.

The hands in the sleeves were eager to move, and the fingertips were rubbing against each other. Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and gently pinched the tip of Shen Fu's nose.

“Hmm…”

On the bed, there was a sound from Shen Fu. Not long after that, he opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty?" Shen Fu opened her eyes and her eyes widened when she saw the person on the bed.

She seemed to be still asleep, her eyes full of disbelief.

Is His Majesty really coming?

After looking at the person in front of her, Shen Fu couldn't help feeling bitter. This kind of flirting is really not allowed. I can just hang around in front of His Majesty during the day.

His Majesty actually came?

Shen Fu muttered to herself in her heart, but she still pretended to be ignorant on her face.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, blinking in disbelief: "Your Majesty, is it really Your Majesty?"

Shen Fu's voice was full of confusion and disbelief.

He blinked his eyes slightly and stared at the person in front of him without blinking.

"If not me, then who else could it be?"

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and glanced at Chen Fu gently. Although it was just one sentence, there was obviously a hint of anger in his tone.

Shen Fu naturally heard it.

The tip of her nose felt a slight pain, and Shen Fu looked at the Emperor in front of her, blinking her eyes in disbelief.

He bravely reached out his hand and pinched the tip of His Majesty's nose hard.

"It's really Long Live the Lord!"

Shen Fu opened her eyes with an innocent look on her face. Xiao Yu felt a pain in his nose and sneered, "How dare you!"

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and snorted softly. It would be difficult for ordinary people to withstand it.

Only Shen Fu still had her hand on His Majesty's nose. She half-straightened up from the bed and threw herself into Xiao Yu's arms.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are really here!"

Chen Fu cheered and rushed towards Xiao Yu. Even if you know that this is a bed, it won't hurt you at all.

But seeing Chen Fu like this, Xiao Yu's heart still beat rapidly, and he quickly reached out to catch Chen Fu.

"Are you crazy?" Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and held Chen Fu tightly in his arms.

Thinking of that moment just now, I was still worried: "Do you know that you are pregnant? Why did you do such a dangerous thing?"

Xiao Yu's eyes were sharp, and he was about to glare at Chen Fu, but he saw a smile on her face: "I am happy."

Chen Fu hooked her hands around His Majesty's neck, and a smile hung on her raised face: "Your Majesty is here, how can I not be happy?"

When Xiao Yu heard this, the anger in his heart dissipated a little.

His palm landed on Shen Fu's lower back, steadying her whole body: "Even if you are happy, you can't rush towards me directly."

His Majesty said, "You are pregnant. If something bad happens to you, what will you do?"

Shen Fu, however, looked up with an innocent look on her face: "How could it be?"

She looked at His Majesty's face, her eyes fixed wholeheartedly on His Majesty's face. The expression in her clear eyes showed clearly that she had complete and total trust in him.

She moved forward and put her whole body in front of Xiao Yu.

Blinking her eyes slightly, she spoke as a matter of course: "Your Majesty is here, how could I be in danger?"

The feeling of being trusted wholeheartedly filled my heart at this moment.

Xiao Yu lowered his head, looked at Chen Fu deeply, opened his arms, and hugged her tightly in his arms.

********

The next morning, when Shen Fu woke up, there was no one by the bed.

The bed was clean and tidy, and except for a box of oriental pearls beside the bed, it didn't look like the Emperor had ever been there.

His Majesty stayed at her place for one night, but I'm afraid no one knew about it except her.

Chen Fu lay sideways on the bed, opened the box and took a look.

Then he closed it without interest.

"Young Master." At this time, footsteps were heard at the door, heading straight towards the bed.

Chen Fu frowned when she heard the sound. Without saying a word, he stuffed the box into the quilt.

"Who let you in?" Chen Fu lifted the curtain. The person who came obviously didn't expect Chen Fu to wake up suddenly.

She was startled, then immediately knelt down in panic: "This slave deserves death!"

The little maid knelt down hurriedly, her expression showing panic: "I have something to report to the young lady. This is breaking the rules. Please punish me, young lady."

The palace maid knelt on the carpet and kowtowed repeatedly.

The noise attracted people outside the house, and Zi Su hurriedly came in with a wash basin: "My lady, what happened?"

Zi Su put down the basin and immediately walked to Shen Fu. After seeing the person on the ground, he immediately realized what had happened: "Who let you in?"

Since that day, the young lady began to use these young palace maids outside.

However, no one except her was allowed to enter the inner hall.

Zi Su knew that she was the most trusted person for the young master. Now that she saw someone breaking in, how could she not be anxious?

"No one is allowed to enter the inner hall. Have you forgotten this rule?"

Zi Su scolded the little palace maid loudly.

The eyes of the person kneeling on the ground became redder and redder: "Sister Zisu, I didn't mean it."

The little maid knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly: "It's just that I just heard the news, so I hurried over to report it to the young lady."

"I saw that there was no one at the door, and I was afraid that it would ruin the young lady's plan, so I pushed the door open and came in." The little palace maid cried:

"It is my fault. Please forgive me, my lord. I deserve to die. I deserve to die."

The little palace maid knelt on the ground and cried.

Shen Fu glanced at her, lowering her eyes so that no expression could be seen.

It seemed that the little palace maid’s head was about to be broken. Then he lowered his head and said to the little palace maid on the ground: "You are not guilty of ignorance. Today's incident is not your fault."

"It's just that the inner hall doesn't allow anyone to come in. Today's mistake was an unintentional one on your part. If you do it again next time, the Hehuan Hall won't be able to accommodate you."

Chen Fu spoke to the person on the ground, and signaled Zi Su with her eyes to help the person up.

The little palace maid was very happy and kowtowed repeatedly on the ground to express her gratitude: "Thank you very much, my lady. Thank you very much, my lady."

Waiting for Zi Su to come forward and help the person up. Only then did Chen Fu get up from the bed and hold up the light-colored curtains to cover the view from the bed.

Chen Fu then asked the little palace maid, "You said you had something to report, what was it?"

The little maid bent over and stood in front of Shen Fu. She withdrew her peripheral vision and turned to report to Shen Fu: "Early in the morning, there was news from Concubine Rong that she wanted you to go over there."

"I was afraid that I might have delayed your business, so I hurried over to report this. I beg your forgiveness."

"You only called me?" Shen Fu raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

She was pregnant and it was snowing heavily, so most concubines were afraid of causing trouble and basically didn't dare to come to her.

Even if Concubine Rong had called her before, she had never asked her to go to Changchun Palace alone.

What is going on today?

Chen Fu was puzzled, but the little maid didn't even look at Chen Fu, and nodded: "Only you, the young lady, were called."

"My lady, since Concubine Rong has sent someone to summon you, you should get ready to go quickly."

After the little palace maid finished speaking, she bent down and retreated. Zi Su went over to close the door, and Chen Fu then withdrew her gaze.

"My lady, is there anything?" Zi Su saw that Chen Fu was staring at her and asked quickly.

Shen Fu shook her head.

The little palace maid whispered in her ear the same person as last time, saying that the person favored by Concubine Rong was the same one.

Thinking of the look in the maid's eyes just now, Chen Fu smiled softly, shook her head but did not reply: "Help me dress up, since Concubine Rong sent someone to invite me, there is no reason for me not to go."

His Majesty had long ago deprived Concubine Rong of her authority to manage the harem.

Since I called her over today...

Shen Fu's eyelids jumped and she looked out the window.

She felt a little panicked and always felt that something bad was going to happen.

Shen Fu touched her chest, hoping that she was just overthinking.
