The Empress didn't even have time to stop him before she watched Yuan Qing walk out.
"Your Majesty! Actually, I...I'm not seriously injured! I'll be fine in a few days!"
The Empress was extremely anxious. Her power in the palace had been taken back just like that, and she was unwilling to accept it!
He Beiyi, seemingly unaware of her anxiety, said with concern, "Your Majesty, there's no need to be stubborn! Yesterday was an unintentional mistake on my part, causing Your Majesty to be bedridden. I feel extremely guilty! Your Majesty, don't worry! Just focus on recovering. Let Consort Hui take care of the trivial matters of the inner palace!"
"this......"
The Empress was speechless, feeling as if she had swallowed a fly!
She had used her injury as an excuse to make His Majesty feel guilty and want him to stay, but now that she thought about it, she realized that it was full of mistakes.
But the words had already been spoken and there was no going back, so she had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill!
Her injuries weren't serious, and her ribs weren't actually broken! Once she'd recovered in a few days, she was determined to get the palace power back!
Furthermore, the fact that His Majesty can stay overnight at Fengyi Palace tonight, and that she can give that bitch Li Yunyan a hard time, is still quite gratifying!
She smiled gently and magnanimously, "Your Majesty, I will follow all your arrangements."
However, her smile quickly faded.
"Then Your Majesty should rest and recover. I will rest in the side hall tonight." He Beiyi got up and left.
"His Majesty!"
The empress reached out to grab him.
If word got out that the emperor stayed overnight at Fengyi Palace but did not sleep in the same bed as the empress, she would be laughed at to death!
He Beiyi turned around, his expression cold and stern: "What? Is the Empress, in such poor health, still thinking of serving you tonight?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not! Your Majesty, I merely..."
"Then Your Majesty should rest early!"
After saying that, He Beiyi left without looking back.
The side hall of Fengyi Palace was still luxurious and exquisite. He Beiyi entered the hall and dismissed the servants.
He irritably untied his robe and threw it heavily on the ground.
Knowing full well that the Empress was the mastermind, he was unable to immediately punish her, which was both frustrating and infuriating!
And what about Yan'er? He hasn't seen her all day!
He was seething with anger when Yuan Qing came in and reported to him: "Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to inform you that starting tomorrow, Consort Hui will be in charge of the inner palace."
He Beiyi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Seeing that His Majesty had no further instructions, Yuan Qing tentatively said, "This servant takes his leave."
"Wait!" He Beiyi called out to him, his eyes unfathomable. "Go and summon two concubines to serve you in bed!"
Yuan Qing was surprised and asked uncertainly, "Your Majesty, the two of you?"
He Beiyi, eager to annoy the Empress, said firmly, "Yes, whoever it is, go quickly!"
"yes!"
Yuan Qing was the emperor's confidant, so of course he wouldn't be foolish enough to call the emperor's most beloved person to serve him in bed.
He had two concubines who lived nearby brought over and sent them directly into the side hall.
Upon hearing this, the Empress was so enraged that she smashed everything in the room! This aggravated her wound, causing her to sweat profusely from the pain.
Ying Huai watched coldly from the rooftop. After He Beiyi fell asleep with two concubines in his arms, Ying Huai quietly left the place.
Headed straight to Chonghua Palace.
Li Yunyan slept a lot during the day and is not sleepy yet. She is reclining on the tatami and reading a storybook.
She hadn't expected Ying Huai to come.
As soon as Ying Huai entered, he used his internal energy to extinguish the candles, so that no one could see the shadows inside from the outside.
"Ah Huai!"
Ying Huai went straight to the bed and pulled her into his arms.
Feeling the warmth of his embrace, which carried the scent of pine and cypress, Li Yunyan snuggled closer to him, seeking comfort. "Ah Huai, why did you come here tonight?"
His brows and eyes visibly relaxed, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his captivating gaze: "After Your Majesty retires for the night, I may leave for a while."
Is there any danger?
"No." He didn't want to tell her that His Majesty was exhausted tonight and would definitely be sleeping soundly.
Li Yunyan was overjoyed and clung to him, asking sweetly, "Did you miss me?"
"Hmm," he said softly, "I'm a little worried about you!"
Hearing him admit it so readily, Li Yunyan was even happier and immediately kissed him.
Having just tasted the sweetness of love yesterday, Ying Huai was now at his wit's end and couldn't resist being teased. In no time, he took the initiative and drew her into his protective circle.
A passionate kiss landed.
In the end, she fell asleep in his arms.
Before dawn, Ying Huai got up and dressed.
Li Yunyan was awakened by his sudden departure. She opened her eyes and looked at him with misty eyes.
"Ah Huai?"
Her voice was sweet and husky, her eyes were innocent and blank, and her face was flushed from just waking up, making her look incredibly alluring!
Ying Huai turned his head and looked at the sky outside.
It's still early!
......
*
Li Yunyan slept until noon again, feeling refreshed.
Xiangxia thought that she was still not fully recovered, so she thoughtfully refrained from bothering her.
Li Yunyan had intended to lie there lazily, but suddenly remembered that there was still something important to do.
She dressed neatly and directed Xiangxia to dig out the wine she had buried under the pear tree.
She had brewed a total of five jars before. Since she had promised He Beiyi that she would give them to him, she would take out three jars this time!
He Beiyi arrived in the evening, bringing with him many generous gifts.
Gold and silver fabrics, jewelry, rare ornaments...
When Li Yunyan saw these generous rewards that seemed like compensation, she knew in her heart that the Empress had escaped unscathed again and was definitely not going to fall this time!
She's really stumped!
As soon as He Beiyi entered the hall, he pulled Li Yunyan into his arms and kissed her repeatedly.
Then I hugged her and told her the official findings of the investigation.
Li Yunyan outwardly agreed, but inwardly she no longer held any hope.
How much of these investigation results are true and how much are false? They're just for show! The real murderer is still at large!
However, He Beiyi is, after all, the ruler of a country, and not her man, so she can't have too high expectations of him!
We'll have to wait for another opportunity!
As night fell, He Beiyi remained unconscious as usual.
Ying Huai couldn't wait to fly down and scoop her up in his arms.
Li Yunyan was afraid that he would kiss her directly, and then another person would fall into a coma.
She covered her mouth tightly with her hand, her voice muffled, "Don't move! I haven't wiped my mouth yet!"
Her movements and expressions were very cute, and Ying Huai chuckled softly, pulling her behind the screen.
Wipe her mouth.
A moment later, a rustling sound came from behind the screen, followed by Li Yunyan's soft gasp.
"I can do it myself!"
"Then I'll wring out a handkerchief for you."
"Okay, thank you!"
"Why is Yanyan being so well-behaved today? Is she unhappy?"
Li Yunyan took a damp cloth and wiped the remaining medicine off her lips in front of the bronze mirror, then lowered her eyes.
Ying Huai's situation was already very dangerous, so she shouldn't make him worry.
She can handle dealing with the Empress herself!
