Chapter 274 Don’t you like your father?
As soon as Xiao Heng left, Liu Zheng and Wan Qiu, who were standing at the door, anxiously entered the inner hall.
"Your Majesty..."
Seeing Liu Yuetang kneeling in a daze, the two of them quickly helped her up.
"Your Majesty... you scared me to death just now." Liu Zheng said with lingering fear.
Liu Yuetang sat on the Arhat bed, looking out the window in a trance.
"Are you scared?"
"If you pass this level, you won't have to worry so much in the future."
The look in Xiao Heng's eyes just now was as if he wanted to eat her.
She had thought that Xiao Heng might demote her position or impose some other punishment in anger.
But he didn't punish her at all, and just told her to stay in Yaoyue Palace and reflect on her mistakes.
It's not even a formal house arrest.
Is Xiao Heng so tolerant of himself?
Didn't he hate deception the most? Why couldn't he bear to punish himself?
And just now... on his angry face, she actually saw a look of heartache.
At this moment, Liu Yuetang just felt that perhaps...
Maybe he really has some sincerity towards me?
Even in such an angry situation, he did not punish himself, which was enough to prove that he could not bear to do so.
Since she is reluctant to do so, she will not fall out of favor.
What they need to do now is for both of them to calm down.
Wait until he calms down, then explain.
As for how to explain it, I still need to think about it carefully, but I must never say anything that goes against my conscience or is insincere.
"Your Majesty... do you want me to serve you lunch?" Seeing Liu Yuetang was silent for a long time, Wanqiu called out worriedly.
Liu Yuetang turned around, her brows relaxed, "Why not pass it on?"
"pass!"
Nothing is more important than yourself.
Not to mention that she is still a noble concubine and lives in Yaoyue Palace.
Even if you have fallen out of favor, you have to live a good life.
You can't let yourself be wronged because of a man or your current frustration.
Only by gathering your strength can you come up with a foolproof plan to completely control Xiao Heng.
Qinzheng Hall.
"Your Majesty...it's time for lunch." Zhou Defu didn't dare to go in, so he could only stand at the door and call out carefully.
And just as he expected, Xiao Heng was furious and shouted fiercely: "Get out!"
Zhou Defu trembled all over and shook his head with a sad face.
Bu Zian whispered, "Master, how did Concubine Xi anger the Emperor and make him so angry?"
"How should I know!" Zhou Defu sighed.
"On ordinary days, the Emperor always comes out of Yaoyue Palace in high spirits."
After saying this, he sighed again: "This is not something we servants should care about."
"You should pay more attention to how to serve the emperor these days."
When the master is unhappy, the servants are the ones who suffer the most.
On the second day, Xiao Heng's scarlet eyes were full of bloodshot, and there was a dark circle under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept all night.
After having lunch with the Khan of Lanyue Kingdom, Xiao Heng called Zhou Defu into the hall.
"Noble Concubine Xi, how are you today?"
Zhou Defu reported everything he had found out: "Your Majesty, although Concubine Xi cannot leave the Yueyue Palace, fortunately the Second Princess is by her side, so her life is not too boring."
Xiao Heng's thin lips were tightly pursed. Yes, she was the kind of person who didn't like going out. Ever since she had Yue'er, she had devoted all her heart to her.
What is the difference between house arrest and no house arrest?
"Then, did Concubine Xi have her meals on time?"
Zhou Defu said, "The Imperial Concubine has three meals on time, and today she even had half an extra crispy roast duck for lunch."
He kept his head down and didn't notice that Xiao Heng's face was gradually changing color.
Xiao Heng smiled coldly: "Good! Very good!"
A bitter taste spread across his throat.
He was tossing and turning in the Qinzheng Hall, feeling upset because of what she said.
But she was fine, living a carefree life in Yaoyue Palace.
She doesn't even want to pretend anymore!
Xiao Heng slammed his fist on the table, causing the teacups to clink.
Zhou Defu's knees softened and he knelt down quickly.
He said the wrong thing again...
Xiao Heng said, "Go and clean up the side hall for the second princess to live in."
Zhou Defu was slightly taken aback: "Your Majesty...are you going to bring the Second Princess to Chengming Palace?"
"Yes, tell everyone that I love the Second Princess so much that I must see her all the time."
"And the palace maids who serve the princess should also be brought to Chengming Palace."
Zhou Defu didn't dare to ask any more questions, and quickly replied, "I'll do it right away."
Looking at Zhou Defu's departing back, Xiao Heng rotated the jade ring on his thumb.
Without her daughter, let’s see how she can stay happily in Yaoyue Palace.
Sooner or later, she would be unable to bear the pain of separation between mother and daughter and would come to me for help.
Liu Yuetang, even if you don’t love me, I am your husband and Yue’er’s father!
You can never leave me! You can only rely on me forever!
Invite the Moon Palace.
Seeing the princess being carried away, Liu Zheng was extremely anxious. "Your Majesty, what should we do? The emperor took the princess away. Is he completely pissed off with you?"
Liu Yuetang slid down slowly onto the sandalwood chair, frowning in thought.
After a long time, she gradually understood.
"If the Emperor is completely angry with me, he will strip me of my position and title, instead of just taking Yue'er away."
Moreover, he only took Yue'er to Chengming Palace on the grounds that he loved her, and he did not say that Yue'er was not allowed to be raised by him anymore.
This is enough to prove... Xiao Heng was not completely angry with her.
On the contrary...he wants to make himself sad?
Do you want me to bow my head and beg him?
Liu Yuetang slowly closed her eyes.
Right now, she really didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Happy that Xiao Heng even threatened himself with his daughter.
Sadly, he caught my weakness.
In his eyes, whether it is his daughter or himself, they should all rely on him and do everything according to his wishes?
"Forget it, let Yue'er stay for two days. Maybe it will help foster some affection between them as father and daughter."
Coincidentally, Xiyue's arrival did make Xiao Heng flustered.
Sometimes he peed, sometimes he burped, and sometimes he cried and couldn't be comforted.
Xiao Heng paced back and forth, holding his daughter in his arms. He frowned at the nurse and said, "The princess usually cries for a while in Yaoyue Palace and then calms down. Why is she crying for so long now?"
The nurse bowed and replied, "The princess has begun to recognize people now. If I can't comfort her normally, the imperial concubine will hold her and soothe her for a while, and she will stop crying."
"And now the princess likes to be held upright. She will cry if held flat."
Xiao Heng held Xiyue upright in his arms and walked around but saw that she was still whining and making a fuss.
He stopped, his patience having already lost some of its force. He looked at Xiyue, whose face was wrinkled. "Why? Is your father's embrace not as comfortable as your mother's?"
He recalled what Liu Yuetang had said yesterday, and his heart ached suddenly. A layer of sadness gradually appeared in his eyes: "You mother and daughter...you are of the same mind. Don't you both dislike father?"
Xiyue, who was lying on Xiao Heng's shoulder, seemed to be scolded. She pouted in grievance and burst into tears.
Xiao Heng quickly patted her back gently, "Oh~oh~oh...Father didn't scold Yue'er."
As he spoke, he lifted his foot and walked down the stairs. At this moment, Xiyue's crying stopped abruptly.
When she reached the end of the two steps, she started crying again.
Xiao Heng was surprised for a moment, then he lifted his foot and climbed the stairs again, and Xiyue's voice also stopped crying as he climbed the stairs.
Everyone in the hall widened their eyes in amazement.
The second princess actually likes to be carried up the stairs!
Xiao Heng doted on Xiyue's face and said, "Okay! You little thing, you're here to torture your father."
Although he said this, he held Xiyue in his arms and walked up and down the stairs until she fell asleep peacefully.
