Chapter 47 I know you won’t
"Your Majesty... the imperial physician is here."
Xiao Heng straightened his clothes with a satisfied look on his face. After seeing that the woman behind him had normal makeup and clothing, he said, "Come in."
The imperial physician came in carrying a medicine box. Perhaps it was because the attic was damp or for some other reason, but there was a strange smell in the air.
He didn't bother to listen carefully, and bowed and saluted: "Your humble servant greets the emperor and the young lady."
"No need to be polite."
"Please check on Liu Cairen to see if she is feeling unwell."
The imperial physician agreed, took out a vermilion pulse pad from the medicine box and placed it under Liu Yuetang's wrist, then covered it with a piece of white silk cloth before daring to place his fingertips on it.
But after a moment, he released her hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The talented young lady is fine. She is just a little weak and has liver qi stagnation. I will prescribe a prescription for her."
"As for the injury on your knee, just apply some medicine and rest."
Xiao Heng waved his hand to indicate that he should go down.
He looked at the charming Liu Yuetang and asked, "Why is your liver qi stagnant? Are you angry that I didn't come to see you?"
"Huh?" Liu Yuetang was stunned.
Does liver qi stagnation necessarily mean anger?
"I don't have any."
Her voice was soft, as if still carrying the tenderness of aftermath.
"I am the one who is at odds with myself. I always feel that I am not good enough, so the Emperor has forgotten me."
Xiao Heng's expression became serious, and his thoughts became a little vague.
In an instant, I saw another self in Liu Yuetang.
After hesitating for a moment, he smiled, leaned over and gently pinched her blushing cheek.
"fool."
"This world is full of splendor and splendor. You can be one of thousands, but you are also unique. Besides pleasing others, it is more important to please yourself. Do you understand?"
A fleeting look of surprise flashed across Liu Yuetang's eyes.
Then he held Xiao Heng's hand tightly.
"I understand what the emperor said. But when I meet the emperor, I start to have wild thoughts."
The affection in her eyes was not concealed at all, and ripples appeared in her eyes.
What Xiao Heng hated most was women showing serious expressions in front of him.
Because they all dream of gaining love or power from themselves.
But the words of the woman in front of him did not disgust him.
In fact, I was the one who provoked her first.
At first, she was reluctant to approach him.
But now, he was gradually gaining control of her heart.
Now she can be said to be truly willing and has no regrets.
But even so, Xiao Heng only felt a sense of victory from his desire to conquer.
There won't be the slightest bit of emotion or touch.
He patted Liu Yuetang's hand without any response.
He only said: "I will carry you back to the palace."
As she spoke, she gently picked up Liu Yuetang.
Liu Yuetang pressed against his collar, and the emperor's scent was not pleasant.
It made her feel a sense of superiority and alienation.
She glanced at Xiao Heng's gloomy face.
Next, it’s about conquering the heart.
No matter how noble or heartless a man is, he still has a heart.
If you have a heart, you will be moved.
The concubines and others looked at Xiao Heng carrying Liu Yuetang out and hurriedly bowed down.
Mi Fei gritted her teeth, burning with jealousy.
Only now did I realize that this talented lady Liu had not fallen out of favor as rumored.
On the contrary... on the contrary, she is very much loved and cherished by the emperor.
The only solution now is to show weakness and admit guilt.
Otherwise, according to the emperor's temper, he would inevitably be punished.
So, she leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, Lady Liu spilled tea on me. I believed Lady Ye's slander and punished Lady Liu. I didn't mean to punish Lady Liu, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Lady Ye's face flushed red, and her clear voice was filled with suppressed anger: "Empress Mi is really good at exonerating herself. I am just a beautiful woman, how can I influence your thoughts? I only said this to please you."
You Baolin's eyes turned, and he looked up at Concubine Ye in surprise: "Concubine Ye, you are wrong. Concubine Mi was unwilling to punish Concubine Liu. It was you who fanned the flames and created conflicts. That's why Concubine Mi was deceived by you and punished Concubine Liu."
As she spoke, she seemed to feel guilty and aggrieved: "It's all my fault that I didn't see through Lady Ye's true face and let Concubine Mi be used by her. I hope Your Majesty and Concubine Mi will punish me."
A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Yuetang's eyes.
Every failure makes one wiser. You Baolin has become smarter.
Concubine Ye was so angry that she was stunned. She couldn't help but raise her voice: "You two have teamed up to frame me. Do you really think the emperor will be deceived by your one-sided words?"
As she spoke, she knelt to Xiao Heng's side, her eyes misty with tears, feeling extremely aggrieved: "Your Majesty, You Baolin is Concubine Mi's distant cousin. Their words cannot be trusted. I am a simple-minded person and was taken advantage of. That's why I fell into their trap."
Xiao Heng didn't get angry but smiled, lowering his eyes to glance at everyone: "So weak, yet so aggressive."
"Very stupid."
After saying these two words, Xiao Heng carried Liu Yuetang and walked forward.
Just as Mi Fei and the others were breathing a sigh of relief, the man's trembling voice was heard again: "Mi Fei has been spoiled and reckless, causing discord in the harem. She is under house arrest for one month to reflect on her mistakes."
"Miss Ye and You Baolin are jealous of each other and stirring up trouble. They are demoted one level."
Not until Xiao Heng finished speaking did Ji Yunu's frown relax, and she covered her chest and breathed slowly.
"Demoted one level?" You Baolin's body softened and he collapsed to the ground.
Her eyes were red with anxiety, and she sobbed, "Cousin, the emperor has demoted me again, cousin."
She originally thought that the words she had just said were enough to prove her innocence.
Unexpectedly, the emperor did not believe what he said at all.
When Concubine Mi thought of this, she became furious: "Idiot! All you know is to cry."
"You entered the palace with her, yet she was deeply favored by the Emperor and rose through the ranks, while you were repeatedly demoted."
"Hehehe..." Ye Cairen laughed out loud.
She bowed to Concubine Mi and said, "Mrs. Mi, thank you for teaching me a lesson."
"You are a bunch of rabble, I will never dare to provoke you again."
After saying this, she turned and left without paying any attention to Mi Fei's sharp gaze.
The rosy glow gradually dissipated and the ink color spread.
In the sedan chair, Xiao Heng placed his large palm on Liu Yuetang's waist, stroking it gently.
Liu Yuetang leaned against his chest and asked softly, "Your Majesty just punished Concubine Mi and the others without asking a single question. Has Your Majesty ever considered that perhaps I deliberately spilled the tea on Concubine Mi?"
"I know you won't, so I don't need to ask."
Seeing Liu Yuetang looking up at him in surprise, a faint smile appeared on his calm face.
"I am not stupid. I just turned a blind eye to the things going on in the harem."
"I punished them today to serve as a warning to the people in the six palaces, so that they will never look down on you again."
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes to look at the delicate woman in his arms and said in a gentle voice, "You must always remember that I promised to protect you and I will keep my word. Don't let anyone bully you. My favorite concubine cannot be a weak and incapable woman."
Liu Yuetang's eyebrows curved, and she smiled softly: "Yes, I will protect myself in the future, and will never make His Majesty worry, nor embarrass His Majesty."
