Li Yuanjing only felt a buzzing in his head, as if something exploded in his mind.
I feel cold all over.
Li Yuanjing, who was usually calm and composed, had his fingers trembling slightly and his throat was extremely dry. He tried to calm down: "Is it serious?"
Deshun wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly replied, "Noble Concubine Chen is fine. Her arm was scratched and the female assassin committed suicide on the spot. Noble Concubine Chen has returned to Yongning Palace and is summoning the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital."
Li Yuanjing strode towards Yongning Palace.
De Shun followed closely behind, telling Li Yuanjing how Concubine Chen was assassinated.
[Today, Chen Wei went to Anguo Temple early. After burning incense and praying, she had a vegetarian meal in the temple, visited the orphans in the backyard of Anguo Temple, distributed porridge at the gate of the temple, and went to the back mountain to appreciate the spring scenery before returning.
On the way back, the journey was relatively calm. Chen Wei remembered that she needed to buy perfume and powder for Zhang Miaoyu, so she sent a palace maid to buy some. The ceremonial guard stopped for a while on the official road.
At this time, a nun came along the official road begging for alms. Shen Wei was kind-hearted and personally gave the cakes to the nun.
Unexpectedly, the nun turned out to be Xie Fanghua, the daughter of the criminal Xie family! At that time, Xie Fanghua offended Shen Wei in the palace and was shaved and became a nun. After the Xie family fell, Xie Fanghua was full of resentment and planned this assassination.
Shen Wei was lucky and only scratched her arm.
Xie Fanghua was escorted by the palace servants. She yelled like crazy: "It's worth it to drag the imperial concubine to die with me!"
After saying this, he committed suicide on the spot.
Shen Wei's arm was slightly injured. She simply bandaged the wound and returned to the palace. 】
...
Li Yuanjing walked briskly and rushed towards the Yongning Palace. The two little kids, Li Chengtai and Li Chengyou, also ran to see Chen Wei's injuries.
The scenery of Yongning Palace remains unchanged.
When the emperor arrived, the palace servants hurried to pay their respects. Li Yuanjing strode into the familiar courtyard and couldn't wait to walk into the main house.
The main room was brightly lit. A white jade vase on the desk was filled with fresh willow branches. Chen Wei was leaning against the chaise longue. Perhaps because she was too frightened, her face was exceptionally pale, and her lips were completely bloodless.
There was some blood on her right arm, and her sleeve was cut by a sharp knife. The wound was very shallow and not much blood was flowing. It was simply bandaged with white cloth.
"Your Majesty?" Shen Wei saw Li Yuanjing and the corners of her pale mouth opened.
Li Yuanjing's face was gloomy.
He glanced back and forth over Shen Wei's body, examining the simply bandaged wound.
Fortunately, the injuries were minor.
The huge rock hanging in Li Yuanjing's heart fell to the ground with a loud bang. Just as Li Yuanjing was about to ask in detail, the two little kids Li Chengtai and Li Chengyou rushed over.
"Mother!"
Li Chengyou's eyes were filled with tears: "When I grow up, I will definitely carry a sword to protect my mother, wuwuwu."
Shen Wei smiled gently and touched her two sons' heads: "Mother is fine, her arm was a little scratched, the imperial physician will rebandage it later, the wound will heal tomorrow."
Seeing that Shen Wei was not seriously injured, Li Yuanjing summoned the accompanying palace servants and reprimanded them sternly: "The imperial concubine was assassinated on the official road, what are the imperial guards doing?"
The palace maid knelt on the ground in fear and said, "Your Majesty, the master did not bring the imperial guards with him on this trip, saying that he was afraid of disturbing the people along the way."
This time when she went to Anguo Temple to burn incense, Shen Wei acted low-key and did not make a big fuss.
Li Yuanjing frowned and looked back at Shen Wei: "When you leave the palace in the future, be sure to bring the Imperial Guards and Tiger Guards with you."
Shen Wei's face was slightly cold, and her eyebrows were slightly drooped: "My death outside today just happened to fulfill the emperor's wish."
Li Yuanjing was stunned: "Don't talk nonsense!"
How could he let Shen Wei die?
The atmosphere in the main room was a bit awkward, and the two children looked confused. Li Yuanjing asked the palace servants to take the two children back to Cining Palace. In the huge main house, only Chen Wei and Li Yuanjing were left.
Shen Wei's pretty face was as pale as paper. She ignored Li Yuanjing, her eyes and eyebrows showing grievance, and she lowered her head to drink tea.
After a month of cold war, this was the first time the two were alone in a room.
Li Yuanjing thought of what the Queen Mother told him today - [Born in an imperial family, true love is hard to come by].
Being a member of the royal family, Li Yuanjing actually never took the complicated emotions of the women in the back house to heart. When he is in a good mood, he will coax her and pretend to be accommodating; when he is in a bad mood, he will be cold and indifferent.
A real man should have ambitions. National and family affairs are much more important than the affairs of the house.
To put it bluntly, the concubines in the harem are merely tools for the royal family to continue their lineage and for the emperor to maintain the situation of the previous dynasty.
Shen Wei is the woman who wins his heart the most.
Li Yuanjing never thought that there would come a day when he would care about Shen Wei's joys and sorrows and worry about her. He suffered a lot during the one-month cold war.
He vaguely realized that Shen Wei was different, Shen Wei was unique.
Li Yuanjing took a deep breath, walked to Shen Wei, held Shen Wei's hand with his broad hand, and said in a low voice: "Weiwei, I was wrong."
Shen Wei raised her eyes slightly, her eyes were still red.
Anyway, there was no one here, so Li Yuanjing simply continued to apologize: "I was confused that day and couldn't control my emotions. I will not misunderstand you again in the future."
This was the first time he took the initiative to admit his mistake, and he did it from the bottom of his heart.
As the emperor of the Daqing Empire, Li Yuanjing gradually got used to wearing a mask of disguise. His joys, sorrows, anger and happiness were all purposeful, serving as a tool to manipulate power.
Li Yuanjing said seriously: "Weiwei, believe me."
He had never put himself in such a low position.
He thought, Shen Wei would definitely forgive him. Since ancient times, couples quarreled, and they made up at the foot of the bed. There was no long-lasting conflict between couples in the world.
Shen Wei tilted her head slightly, looking at the emperor who was so close to her. The corners of her pale lips stretched out: "Your Majesty, you don't like me at all, right? You only regard me as a toy for your amusement."
