Chapter 272: So Angry That He Vomited Blood

Xiao Guizi was quite fast. At Shen Fu's command, she quickly ran to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

The servants of the Qianqing Palace were very perceptive. When they saw Xiao Guizi, they immediately came forward and said, "Eunuch Gui, why are you here?"

Xiao Guizi followed Shen Fu and served her.

Servants follow their masters. If the master has a high status, the servant's status will naturally not be much lower.

When they saw Xiao Guizi, the personal eunuch of the Hehuan Palace, even though they were servants of the Qianqing Palace, they could only nod and bow.

"Is His Majesty in there? Our young master has something to report."

As soon as Xiao Guizi said this, the smile on the eunuch's face froze: "This..."

The young eunuch raised his head and said, "Your Majesty is here, but Concubine Shu just came and is at the door asking for an audience with Your Majesty."

The young eunuch pointed inside with a hesitant look on his face.

Shu Guipin was waiting at the door. If I went there at this time, it would probably be bad.

"Why is Concubine Shu also in there?" Xiao Guizi lowered her head and thought, muttering to herself that something was wrong.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Shu Guipin and Shen Fu are enemies.

Most of Chen Fu's favors were won from Concubine Shu.

Now Chen Fu is highly favored, but Shu Guipin cannot even see His Majesty.

At this time, Chen Fu went to ask His Majesty for help, which was indeed an embarrassment to Concubine Shu.

Xiao Guizi secretly thought that it was not good, it was really a narrow road for enemies to meet. But when he thought of the young master's instructions when he first came, he still smiled and said:

"Please go in and inform His Majesty that our queen has been frightened and is having a nightmare."

"Now I'm afraid only His Majesty will go there."

When the young eunuch heard this, his expression immediately changed: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Concubine Shen is sick, this is a big deal. Is there anything that could be bigger than this?

The young eunuch was so frightened that his face turned pale. He did not dare to delay for even a second and hurried into the house to report.

Inside the Qianqing Palace

His Majesty was standing in front of the desk.

After the New Year, no memorials were submitted to the court in the past few days. His Majesty can have a good rest for some time.

But the Emperor's face had been as dark as ink these past few days. Lin An walked forward with a teacup in his hand and looked at the Emperor's hand holding the brush, and he felt his heart pounding.

The expression on His Majesty's face has been like this since New Year's Eve. The servants who were serving him didn't dare to breathe, and even he himself began to tremble at the sight of His Majesty.

Lin An didn't know what happened that night.

Just by looking at His Majesty's cold face, one can imagine how excessive the things Concubine Wang did that night were.

So much so that His Majesty still couldn't vent his hatred even after killing people!

Lin An's heart trembled, and his hands holding the tray froze a little. He walked forward slowly and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has been waiting at the door for half an hour."

After all, Concubine Shu Guipin has fallen out of favor, and now it is so difficult for her to ask for an audience with His Majesty.

Lin An watched Shu Guipin rise little by little, then become the most favored concubine, and then fall into decline.

To be honest, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

But most of the time there is no exception. It has always been like this in the harem. Things change over time, and the Emperor's favor is never for one person.

"If Your Majesty doesn't want to see me, how about I go and ask Concubine Shu to go back?"

Lin An put down the teacup and asked tentatively.

Behind the desk, Xiao Yu had a calm expression, and there was no movement in his eyes or brows when he heard these words.

He held the pen in one hand and wrote on the paper with his wrist. There was no change in the expression on his face.

When Lin An saw the Emperor's expression, he understood.

It is obvious that His Majesty does not want to see anyone.

He didn't dare to stay and get in the way, so he quickly changed the teacup and walked out.

But just as I went out, I saw the little eunuch running towards me in a panic.

Lin An was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest as he saw the young eunuch running into the hall.

He quickly stepped forward and stopped the man.

Lin An held the eunuch's hand and scolded him in a low voice: "What are you doing? Do you want to die?"

"Don't you know where you are? You've disturbed His Majesty and you'll have to pay for it with your own lives."

The young eunuch was trembling with fear when he was grabbed. He looked at Lin An in front of him, swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly: "Slave...slave didn't mean it..."

"The servants from Hehuan Palace came to report that Concubine Shen was frightened and wanted to see His Majesty."

"Noble Concubine Shen?"

When he heard that it was about Chen Fu, Lin An did not dare to delay at all.

He let go of the hand that was holding the little eunuch, pushed the door open and walked in: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen is in trouble."

As soon as Lin An finished speaking, Xiao Yu, who had been behind the desk, stopped moving his wrist.

He raised his head, his expression cold.

Lin An looked at His Majesty's eyes and lowered his head quickly: "He said he was frightened and was having a nightmare..."

Before he could finish his words, His Majesty's hand holding the brush fell.

"Has the imperial physician come? Why didn't you report Concubine Shen's accident earlier?"

His Majesty walked out quickly, and Lin An followed behind him, almost unable to keep up: "I just heard the news, too."

He trotted a few steps and walked forward to open the door for His Majesty. Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, Shu Guipin's eyes, who was standing at the door, lit up instantly.

"Your Majesty?" Concubine Shu had been standing at the door waiting for so long, but His Majesty never showed up.

She was standing at the door, hesitating, thinking about opening the door, but she didn't expect that the Emperor would actually come out.

Concubine Shu Gui's face was originally stiff, but when she saw the door open, she immediately forced a smile on her face: "Your Majesty, you are finally willing to see me..."

As she spoke, she bent down and was about to salute. However, she didn't expect that His Majesty would walk right past her and head out.

There was a slight sound from her shoulder, and His Majesty walked past her and went straight out.

Shu Guipin's half-squatting body froze. She was trembling and her knees were shaking uncontrollably.

I couldn't help but turn my head and look back. But I only saw His Majesty's back.

His Majesty's gaze never lingered on her for even a moment.

"You said..." Shu Guipin couldn't even straighten her body, and she was only able to stand up straight after being hugged by the palace maid behind her.

She seemed not to notice and her body was shaking uncontrollably.

But his eyes were always on His Majesty's back: "What do you think His Majesty is going to do?"

The maid supported her body and whispered, "It seems that Concubine Shen is having a nightmare. Your Majesty has gone to see Concubine Shen."

"It's a nightmare..." Shu Guipin nodded and muttered these words.

It turned out to be a nightmare.

"I have been waiting here for His Majesty for half an hour, but His Majesty refused to come out to see me."

"Concubine Shen was just frightened and had a nightmare, but Your Majesty is so anxious."

The comparison between the two is so ironic. Shu Guipin looked at the disappearing figure in the distance and began to laugh.

She just laughed and her voice got louder and louder. In the end, he covered his chest with his hands and spurted out a mouthful of blood with a "pu" sound.

******

At this moment, Shen Fu had no idea what was happening at the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

But His Majesty came very quickly.

Shen Fu had just laid down on the bed when she heard a noise coming from the door.

She lay on the bed with her eyes closed, and her heart began to panic for some unknown reason.

I don't know if I can hide it from His Majesty...

Chen Fu lay on the bed with her eyes closed, listening to the footsteps at the door and felt her heart begin to beat.

"Long live the Lord..." Shen Fu lay on the bed with her eyes closed, muttering to herself.

Xiao Yu, who had just reached the door, walked faster after hearing this: "Fuer, Fuer..."

His Majesty pushed open the door and walked hurriedly towards the inner room.

When Shen Fu heard the movement of His Majesty, she quickly got down from the bed. There was panic on her face, and she threw off the quilt and ran downstairs before the Emperor came near.

"Long live the Lord."

As soon as the pearl curtain was opened, Chen Fu returned to her nest like a young bird. He reached out and hugged Xiao Yu tightly.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here."

Chen Fu stretched out her hands and hugged His Majesty tightly. She seemed to have used up all her strength, so much so that even her fingertips were shaking.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here."

Chen Fu's voice deliberately carried a hint of tears, and she raised her chin to look towards His Majesty while speaking.

Her almond-shaped eyes were slightly hazy, with a layer of mist in them. The moment he saw His Majesty again, a trace of grievance immediately appeared in his eyes:

"Your Majesty, you are finally here."

Shen Fu repeated it again, raised her head and looked at His Majesty without blinking, as if she was afraid that he would leave.

On the way here, Xiao Yu heard the news that Chen Fu was frightened, and he felt anxious and distressed.

Seeing the person in his arms like this, his eyes fell on her thin and bloodless face, and his heart felt even more uncomfortable.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." He repeated it several times while hugging Shen Fu, and patted her back with his palms.

The deep voice comforted: "I am here, don't be afraid."

Chen Fu hid in the arms of His Majesty, listening to the faint heartbeat above her head.

She knew that His Majesty was probably worried and anxious at this time, and Shen Fu forced herself to have a layer of mist in her eyes: "It's so scary, they are all people, don't come over, don't come over..."

Shen Fu muttered to herself, unable to help but repeat it.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yu felt as if his heart had been dug out.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, Fu'er, don't be afraid." His Majesty's palm fell on Shen Fu's back, patting her with his broad palm again and again.

"I'm here, I'm here, don't be afraid." Xiao Yu guessed that Chen Fu must have seen him kill someone that day, which left a shadow in her heart.

Xiao Yu felt extremely regretful at this moment.

He was really too impulsive at that time. Even if he hated Wang Ruer so much that he wanted to tear her into pieces, he should never choose to do it when Shen Fu was around.

Now looking at Chen Fu like this, Xiao Yu felt as if a knife was cutting his flesh, each cut making him feel so painful that he wished he was dying.

"I'm here, I'm here, I'm here." Xiao Yu's palm fell on the back of Shen Fu's head, and his large palm gently stroked it again and again.

"I'm here, Fuer, you can touch me if you want."

Xiao Yu was so anxious that he forgot his title.

At this moment, I am afraid that I have forgotten everything about being an emperor and my identity.

He had no other thoughts except caring about the person in his arms.

"I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anything." Xiao Yu gently stroked Chen Fu and noticed that she was trembling slightly.

Only then could he not help but lower his head and look down.

But he found that Shen Fu was not wearing any shoes or socks, and was standing barefoot on the velvet carpet.

Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly widened, his brows slightly frowned, and without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and picked up Shen Fu: "What does the servant who serves you eat?"

"They didn't even prepare shoes and socks for you."

His Majesty was obviously extremely angry. He stretched out his hand, lightly picked up Chen Fu and walked towards the bed.

Only after carrying Chen Fu back to the bed did Xiao Yu squat down and personally picked up the silk stockings beside him and put them on Chen Fu.

"It's cold today, and you don't even wear shoes or socks. What if you catch a cold?"

He half-knelt down, his black dragon robe dragging on the ground. Xiao Yu bent down, reached out his hand and gently placed Chen Fu's feet on his knees.

The crescent-shaped foot stepped on the dragon robe. Xiao Yu looked at the white calf and gently tested it with his palm.

After seeing that it wasn't that cold, I felt relieved.

But Xiao Yu obviously had no experience in serving others. He held the silk stockings in his palm, and struggled for a long time but failed to help Chen Fu put them on.

If I use too much force, I'm afraid I'll hurt Chen Fu, but if I don't use too much force, I'm afraid I won't be able to put it on.

Xiao Yu struggled for a long time before he successfully put the stockings on Shen Fu's feet.

The moment he put on his shoes and socks, Xiao Yu was obviously relieved.

After standing up from his half-kneeling position, Xiao Yu looked at Chen Fu again: "What happened? Why did you suddenly have a nightmare?"

Chen Fu glanced at His Majesty and shook her head: "I...I dare not say..."

She deliberately looked at His Majesty with red eyes, with a hint of fear still in her eyes.

When Xiao Yu saw this, his originally slightly frowned brows furrowed even tighter: "I'm already here, is there anything you still won't tell me?"

Only then did Shen Fu look at His Majesty again: "If this concubine has said it, Your Majesty, please don't be angry."

As she spoke, she reached out to grab the hem of His Majesty's clothes.

Xiao Yu glanced down and whispered to comfort him: "Don't worry, I will never blame you at any time."

Chen Fu then said, "I dreamed... I dreamed of the king... the king's selection of concubines."

She seemed to be afraid that the Emperor would get angry, and she couldn't help but glance in his direction while speaking.

Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he calmly pressed down Shen Fu's hand that was holding his palm: "What's wrong with dreaming about the king's concubine?"

"I had a dream. I dreamt about the king's concubine. She kept saying to me..."

"What?" Chen Fu was still frightened that day.

Xiao Yu reached out and gently patted Chen Fu's back: "Don't be anxious, just speak slowly."

"She said it wasn't her."

Shen Fu bit her lip and spoke vaguely on purpose.

How could the person on New Year's Eve be the king's concubine? He was just a scapegoat found by Zhou Shuyun.

Seeing this, Zhou Shuyun was about to escape. How could Shen Fu be willing to let it go so easily?

"I don't know what this dream means, but... I'm just scared..."

"Your Highness," Shen Fu pulled Xiao Yu's sleeve, widened her eyes, and pretended to be innocent:

"Your Majesty, are you telling me that the person on New Year's Eve is really the king's concubine?"
