Chapter 261 Don’t Laugh at Me

The emperor didn't fall asleep after all.

His mind was in a tizzy, his eyes were closed, and his face was getting redder and redder.

[Is Xiaojiu looking at me? ]

An Jiu "..."

Yeah, looking at you.

[Don’t look at me.]

An Jiu chuckled.

【Ahhhhhhh.】

【What is she laughing at? 】

Smile you cute.

An Jiu reached out and touched his face.

"Go to sleep."

All sounds stopped abruptly.

The emperor opened his eyes, and for a moment he felt a little aggrieved.

As for what he felt wronged about, he couldn't say for sure.

"Am I... a little disgusting?"

He thought of what Nanny Chang said.

When he grew up, he actually knew that what Nanny Chang said was wrong.

But some things seem to have been engraved into bones and flesh.

Can't get rid of it, can't forget it.

An Jiu patted his head: "No, it's normal."

The emperor didn't quite believe it.

An Jiu smiled and said, "So many people in the world didn't come from this place?"

The emperor thought about it seriously.

It seems to be true.

An Jiu touched his curly hair and said, "Don't think too much."

She is also a virgin and really doesn't want to comfort an innocent boy about such things.

The emperor looked at her and said, "Then swear that you will not laugh at me."

An Jiu smiled helplessly: "...Okay, okay, I swear."

The emperor closed his eyes.

After a while, he opened his eyes again and said, "Don't look at me."

An Jiu laughed: "I won't watch it anymore."

She lay down next to the emperor.

Just like countless nights before.

Soon, An Jiu fell asleep.

The emperor opened his eyes.

what to do?

I still feel so ashamed.

He turned his head to look at An Jiu.

Xiaojiu's eyes are so cute, her nose is so cute, her mouth is cute, everything about her is cute...

You can't blame him for this.

At this time, Eunuch Li came, and the emperor stood up and made a gesture to keep quiet.

Eunuch Li then stepped out, and soon the emperor also came out.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yan is here."

They went to the study.

Yan Wenjie said, "Your Majesty, it was Miss Yao's maid who delivered the message. When I went there, the maid had already committed suicide."

The emperor did not blame Yan Wenjie.

"What's going on with the Duke of England?"

Yan Wenjie told everything that happened today.

The emperor narrowed his eyes.

"knew."

If it were someone else, Yan Wenjie would definitely ask the person involved directly what happened last night.

But the person in front of him was the emperor, so Yan Wenjie didn't dare to ask.

He backed out.

He knew that he could not find out anything from the emperor. The emperor would not say anything, and he certainly could not say anything. So he could only start with Miss Yao.

The death of that maid made him feel even more that something was wrong.

…

Miss Yao's affairs soon spread throughout the capital.

Although no one said it openly, everyone secretly suspected the emperor.

This was not a big deal. After all, Miss Yao had been clamoring to marry the emperor before, and now she died for the emperor. For the spectators, it was just a fun thing to watch.

But the rumors that the emperor was a madman became more and more intense.

Empty learning does not bring wind.

How many times has this happened?

People combined Prince Ruyang's original statement with various rumors about the emperor in the past and even his behavior. Many people who were originally skeptical now believe it to some extent.

Prime Minister Jiang sent a message to the palace asking Concubine De to investigate the matter thoroughly.

If the Emperor is really a madman...

They might as well make plans early.

What are you planning?

Defei held the letter in her hand, and her fingertips turned white.

The Jiang family already has such power now, she wonders what else they want?

She is the emperor's concubine and has not yet conceived a child. If the emperor is a lunatic, how should she deal with it? What will the Jiang family do?

At this time, a palace maid came outside to report that Concubine Shu had arrived.

The last time, Concubine De got along well with Concubine Shu...

"Let Toffee in."

Concubine Shu exchanged a few pleasantries with her, then looked at her with a smile: "You've lost weight."

Concubine De has indeed lost some weight due to her recent troubles.

"You still have to eat more. Women, you have to take care of yourself."

Concubine Shu sighed.

Concubine De was a little moved, but she was not a fool and was worried that Concubine Shu had some plan.

"Thank you for your concern, Concubine Dowager." Defei lowered her eyes and smiled gently.

Concubine Shu looked at her and couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if I had a daughter as old as you."

Concubine De paused and couldn't help but clench her fingers. Concubine Shu still had a son, but she had nothing. Even her family was just using her. When she was no longer useful, the Jiang family might give up on her without hesitation.

Concubine Shu suddenly took her hand and said, "Good child, I have been in this palace for so many years. Only we ourselves know whether the palace is good or not. At least the late emperor left me a son. If I didn't have this son, I really don't know how I would have survived."

De Fei's smile was a little forced: "I don't have the blessing of the Concubine Dowager, I'm afraid..."

Concubine Shu smiled. She looked into Concubine De's eyes and said, "Those who don't fight for anything in this palace are either dead or in the cold palace. Some things... you have to fight for them yourself."

Concubine Shu patted Concubine De's hand again.

Concubine De frowned. She felt that Concubine Shu was right, but she also felt that she was overstepping her boundaries.

"If your majesty doesn't come to the harem, we concubines have nothing to fight for."

Concubine Shu looked at her.

Concubine De felt uneasy.

For a moment, I didn't understand what Concubine Shu meant.

"Have you heard about the latest rumors?" Concubine Shu suddenly asked.

De Fei asked back, "Which one are you talking about?"

Concubine Shu said, "It is said that the emperor is a lunatic."

Concubine De paused and looked up at Concubine Shu.

In fact, she couldn't be sure whether the emperor was a madman.

"The Concubine Dowager said it was just a rumor, so rumors are naturally not credible." Defei chose her words carefully.

Concubine Shu laughed.

…

An Jiu slept very deeply and seemed to have many dreams, but when she woke up she could not remember what she dreamed about.

[Ah! I am so annoyed. It is another bullshit memorial like this.]

The emperor was reading the memorial and complaining at the same time, but as soon as An Jiu sat up, he turned around and saw that An Jiu had woken up, and all the noise stopped.

He coughed dryly and stared at An Jiu without saying anything.

An Jiu yawned and came over, sat next to him, and asked naturally, "What are you looking at?"

"Memorial...Memorial." His ears turned red, and he said seriously, "It makes me upset to read it."

So Anjiu helped him sort it out, including the useful and useless ones, those that needed a reply and those that did not.

The emperor was uncomfortable at first, but gradually he became more relaxed. He pointed to a memorial and said, "Look, Xiaojiu, they say there is a monster in the Blue Lake, and it has swallowed the cows of the nearby villagers."

An Jiu also took a look. She had heard many rumors about water monsters in later generations. After reading some scientific research, it seemed to be a big fish.

If this is the case with modern people, what about ancient people?

The discovery of a water monster in Cangnan County attracted a lot of attention, and many people ran to see what the water monster was.

[I don’t know if there really is a water monster.] The emperor’s thoughts were all over the place: “I really want to go and see it.”

An Jiu thought of the dinosaur skeleton.

Thinking of the emperor's performance at that time, An Jiu couldn't help but want to laugh.

The two had dinner together. Anji was full and slept well, but the emperor was sleepy. He wanted to stay up for a while, but Anji saw that he had dark circles under his eyes, so she told him to go to bed quickly. She also wanted to ask the tyrant what happened to Miss Yao's death.
