Chapter 114: A roar and a pounce
The rumor spread like wildfire, and Emperor Qi Yuan naturally got the news as well.
At this moment, he was lying on the dragon couch, enjoying Wan Mei's massage and sighing silently.
"My dear, what do you think about this?"
Wan Mei paused while massaging her shoulders and replied softly, "Your Majesty, I am a dull person. I only know which brand of rouge looks good. I don't really understand anything else."
"oh?"
Emperor Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows, lifted her chin, and forced her to look at him.
"The one most affected by this matter is the Crown Prince. As his former lover, don't you care?"
"His Majesty!"
Wan Mei's face showed shame and anger, her nose felt sore, and tears fell down.
"I have long been your Majesty's concubine. Why does your Majesty bother to humiliate me with those past events?"
"Oh, okay, okay, why are you so annoying?"
Emperor Qi Yuan softened his tone and raised his hand to wipe away her tears.
"I know who did this, and he won't amount to anything. Let's not talk about these unhappy things. My beloved concubine, come here quickly. I need some massage here too."
As he spoke, he smiled evilly and took Wan Mei's hand and reached under the quilt.
Perhaps because she stretched the wound on her arm, or perhaps because she felt nauseous and disgusted, Wan Mei's brows wrinkled slightly.
But it only took a moment for her to adjust her expression and move closer with a sweet smile.
——
The next day, Changchun Palace.
Xiao Yuheng brought Shen Yue into the palace as usual, but the difference was that their robes were stained with blood.
When Jiang Rou saw them, she was so frightened that she almost lost two and a half souls.
"What happened to you two? Are you hurt?"
Shen Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, your majesty. We are not injured. We just encountered some assassins on the way. We have dealt with them all."
By the way, the strength of the Netherworld Palace in the capital is just so-so. Shen Yue only brought twenty shadow guards, and it didn't take long for her to wipe out more than a hundred people.
Jiang Rou heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "Then the blood on your bodies..."
"Of course it belongs to someone else."
"That's not what I'm talking about."
Jiang Rou narrowed her eyes and pulled the two of them over to compare them carefully.
Both of them were wearing white robes today. The blood on Shen Yue's body was concentrated on the left abdomen, while that on Xiao Yuheng's was concentrated on the right abdomen. The shapes of the two bloodstains were exactly the same, and the color of the one on Xiao Yuheng's was lighter.
It was obvious that Shen Yue's body was stained with blood first, and then Xiao Yuheng held her in his arms for a long time, which left the imprints on her body.
"You two... huh?" Jiang Rou raised her eyebrows.
"cough."
Xiao Yuheng obviously understood her implication. He touched his forehead uncomfortably and began to change the subject.
"Mom, why are there a few more small bumps on your forehead? Do you want to call the imperial physician?"
"...I am your mother, a female doctor. What's the point of calling me an imperial physician?"
After being interrupted by him, Jiang Rou forgot about the gossip and anxiously went to the small table, picking up the mirror and looking at herself.
"I've already put on a thick layer of powder, how can it still be seen? It's all because of those storybooks!"
"Is it because of the storybook?"
Xiao Yuheng didn't understand what was going on, but Shen Yue was laughing non-stop with her hands covering her mouth.
"Ayue, can you understand what mother is saying?"
"certainly."
Shen Yue hooked her index finger, signaling Xiao Yuheng to lower his head, and then leaned close to his ear and whispered:
"Didn't I write a storybook about the Black Dragon Suppressing Water a few days ago? When Her Majesty heard about it, she asked me to bring a few copies to the palace for her to read. When Sijin was packing her bag, I didn't look closely, but later I found out that there were many of my stories hidden inside. Her Majesty is at an age of vigor and vitality, and if she read too much, she would... get angry."
When Xiao Yuheng heard the voice, his whole face immediately turned red.
"Ayue, stop talking nonsense!"
He knew how explosive Shen Yue's stories were. On his way to Beijing, when he had nothing to do, he would read those stories, and his face would blush and his heart would beat fast every day.
But, are words like wolf and tiger the right things for a girl like her to say?
Shen Yue wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction. "How could I say anything nonsense? Didn't I only tell you?"
Xiao Yuheng thought about it and agreed. Ah Yue was a straightforward person who said whatever she thought, but she also had her own sense of propriety and would only speak in front of him.
They are so close now, if Ah Yue still can't speak freely, won't she be frustrated?
"Okay, Ah Yue didn't say anything nonsense. I was just too pedantic."
He chuckled and gently stroked the top of her hair. Shen Yue smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's pretty good."
"What are you two talking about?" Jiang Rou frowned in dissatisfaction when she saw them whispering.
"Ah Heng, take Ah Yue to the side hall and change her clothes. Mother needs to quickly prepare some ointment to treat the small pimples."
"yes."
Xiao Yuheng took two steps and suddenly remembered something.
"Mom, speaking of perfume, can you make some for daily use? Ah Yue doesn't like strong smells, so use less spices."
When Shen Yue heard this, he quickly waved his hand to refuse, "No need, right? I'm a grown man with thick skin and flesh, I don't need to use any ointment."
The main reason is that Jiang Rou usually uses very rare medicinal materials to make perfumes, which are not enough for herself, and Chen Yue doesn't want to take away someone else's love.
"Who said you don't need it? I'll adjust it for you today, you have to accept it even if you don't want it!"
Our Concubine Rou spoke as forcefully as ever, but her eyes were full of tenderness and kindness.
She really liked this little Shen Yue. Not only was she fair, tender, and cute, but she was also skilled in martial arts and had a straightforward personality. She was many times better than those pretentious ladies from wealthy families.
Xiao Yuheng also smiled and said, "Look, mother has spoken, do you still dare not refuse? I failed to buy it last time, but I will make it up to you this time."
After hearing what he said, Shen Yue remembered the last time Xiao Yuheng wanted to buy ointment.
At that time, she was wondering when he had a lover, and she didn't expect that the ointment was actually bought for her.
"Ayue?" Xiao Yuheng stretched out his big hand and waved it in front of her.
Shen Yue came back to her senses and smiled sweetly, "In that case, thank you very much, Madam Queen and Prince!"
"That's right."
Xiao Yuheng pinched her cheeks and then took her to the side hall.
When she arrived at the place, Shen Yue found that it was an empty room without even a screen.
It’s not a good idea for two people to stay in the same room and change clothes together, right?
"Um... Your Majesty, I'd better go out and change."
Shen Yue picked up a new robe and was about to go out, but Xiao Yuheng blocked the door tightly.
"Go out and change? Aren't you afraid that the eunuchs and palace maids outside will see us?"
Shen Yue thought about it and said, "How about Your Majesty find me another room?"
"No, Changchun Palace is very small and there aren't that many empty rooms."
The corners of Shen Yue's mouth twitched.
No vacant rooms? I don't believe you! This bastard must have done it on purpose!
Seeing that she was so angry, Xiao Yuheng felt like laughing and wanted to tease her even more.
"We're all men, what's there to be shy about? Last time we slept together, weren't we only wearing underwear?"
"How can it be the same!"
Last time, she was so panicked that she didn't have time to have any evil thoughts, but this time it might not be the same.
If Xiao Yuheng dared to take off his clothes in front of her, she couldn't guarantee that she would not pounce on him with a roar.
