Chapter 140 Does the Dog Emperor have kidney deficiency?
When Ye Fengmian arrived outside the imperial study, he saw Concubine Zhen's gaze asking for help.
“Brother…”
"The two ladies, please stand up." Ye Fengmian said to them, "Lord Song just pleaded for you two, and His Majesty has exempted you from the punishment of kneeling, and allowed you two to return to the palace to reflect on your mistakes."
When Zhenfei heard that she was exempted from the punishment of kneeling, she quickly stood up, but she almost fell because of her sore knees.
She couldn't stand it after kneeling for only a cup of tea. Fortunately, His Majesty changed his mind and didn't really make them kneel for an hour.
Wait a minute, brother just said - Song Xiang asked for favor?
She just vaguely heard voices in the imperial study, but couldn't make out the content. She thought it was her elder brother who persuaded His Majesty, but she didn't expect it was that bastard Song.
"Your Majesty, please be careful with your steps." Ye Fengmian said, "Your Majesty has allowed me to take you back to the palace. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'd like to have a chat with you."
"I also miss my father and elder brother very much."
Just as Concubine Zhen and Ye Fengmian were about to leave, Ye Fengmian saw Concubine Li still kneeling and not getting up. He could not help but wonder, "Empress Li, you..."
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Ye." Concubine Li said indifferently, "I have something else to ask Your Majesty."
Concubine Zhen rolled her eyes at her and whispered to Ye Fengmian, "She just loves to act hypocritically. If she likes to kneel, let her kneel. Let's go."
Ye Fengmian left with Concubine Zhen. After walking for a while, there were no strangers around them. Concubine Zhen spoke up, "Brother, was it really Song the thief who interceded for us? What is he up to?"
"Shut up." Ye Fengmian shouted at her, "Who taught you to address an official of the imperial court like that?"
"I didn't give him this nickname. He is the one who has committed many evil deeds and behaved arrogantly. That's why he has been cursed." Concubine Zhen muttered, "There are so many people who call him that."
"What others call us has nothing to do with us. We, the Ye family, will not learn from those uneducated people. You used to be a noble lady, and now you are a concubine, but you speak so harshly. Regardless of whether he is being hypocritical or begging for mercy, shouldn't you be exempted from the punishment of kneeling?"
Ye Fengmian said coldly, "You still didn't kneel enough. First you took the tribute by force, and now you are speaking rudely. Is this palace a place where you can act as you please?"
"This is indeed not a place where I can act as I please, but do you think I love staying here?"
Concubine Zhen was already irritable, and now she was scolded by her brother, she felt even more uncomfortable, "Do you know how many times I have seen His Majesty? I can't even remember what he looks like! Before I entered the palace, my father told me how good it would be to be a concubine. It's ridiculous. You coaxed me into the palace, but you don't care about how I am doing. If you give me another chance, I will cry, make a scene, and even hang myself. I would rather die than come here! I don't have to be bored all day, and I have to be annoyed by Concubine Li's pretentious ghost."
Ye Fengmian's expression changed slightly, "Speak softly!"
He looked around quickly, fortunately no one was passing by.
"I'm just saying, what can you do? If you have the guts, go to His Majesty and file a complaint against me."
Concubine Zhen sneered, quickened her pace, and ignored Ye Fengmian.
Ye Fengmian sighed and chased after him, "Slow down, don't fall!"
On the other side, in the imperial study, Steward Li reported to Jun Liluo that Concubine Li wanted to see him.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li is still kneeling outside, saying she wants to see you."
"Hasn't their punishment been forgiven?" Jun Liluo frowned slightly, "I still have many memorials to read. Apart from government affairs, I don't want to hear anything else."
Seeing that his face was not very good, Song Yunchu was afraid that he would say "If she wants to kneel, let her kneel all the time", so he quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let me go outside to persuade Concubine Li to leave. After she leaves, I will come back to help you read the memorial."
Upon hearing this, Jun Li Luo agreed without thinking much.
Song Yunchu came to the door of the imperial study and said, "Empress Li has been kneeling for a long time and is unwilling to leave. Is there anything else important? Why don't you tell me first? I will pass it on when Your Majesty is free."
Concubine Li looked up at Song Yunchu, her eyes moist, "Sir Song, what happened today was not my fault."
She never forgot that Song Yunchu had provided her with a prescription for sleeping and asked her to prepare a tranquilizing soup for the emperor, and she received a lot of rewards. However, even with the rewards, she was not able to meet the emperor.
She had never had any prejudice against Song Yunchu, and just now, when Song Yunchu pleaded for mercy, she felt that he was kind and could not hide her aggrieved feelings.
"There are regulations for distributing tribute to each palace. I just want my share and have no intention of taking more. Zhen Fei relied on her family's merits and wanted to take more privately. She also spoke ill of me. Your Majesty asked me to go back and reflect on it, but I did nothing wrong. Why can't I defend myself?"
"Your Highness can certainly defend herself, but - the timing is not right."
Song Yunchu patiently explained, "Recently, the state affairs have been numerous, and the ladies have been staying in the harem, so they may not be well-informed. Although a prescription has been developed for the plague in the west of the city, there are still many tedious matters to follow up, and it may not always go smoothly. In addition, the flood in Yuzhou is raging, and your Majesty was just discussing flood control with Scholar Ye. Some problems on the border have also been reported. Your Majesty is too busy to take care of matters other than state affairs."
"Of course you can mention the faults of Concubine Zhen. If there are similar things in the future, please inform Li Zongguan first. Li Zongguan has always been considerate and has been serving Your Majesty. He will know when to tell Your Majesty. Some things are not impossible to deal with, but we cannot insist on dealing with them immediately. Do you understand what I mean?"
Concubine Li was stunned.
She was originally only concerned about her own emotions and felt wronged, but she really didn't think too much about it.
Compared with the plague, floods and the border, the conflict between her and Concubine Zhen was really a trivial matter.
Song Xiang's last words really alerted her. Things should be prioritized. Compared with major events, it doesn't matter if personal matters are dealt with later.
Steward Li did not take sides with any concubine. If Concubine Zhen annoyed her again in the future, she would inform Steward Li first.
"Thank you for your advice, Lord Song." Concubine Li said to Song Yunchu, "I've taken note of it and will never cause trouble for Your Majesty again."
Song Yunchu was quite pleased and said to the maid beside Concubine Li: "Help Concubine Li go back."
Concubine Li slowly stood up and looked at Song Yunchu with gratitude before leaving.
Song Yunchu considered herself an ordinary person. She wanted to take a few more glances at anyone with a very good appearance, regardless of whether they were men or women. When she first met Concubine Li, she felt that she met her aesthetic standards perfectly. At this moment, when she received Concubine Li's grateful gaze, she felt very happy.
[What a pair of affectionate eyes, pretty and obedient, a sensible girl. ]
[If Jiang Rumin's purity and elegance are unique, then Concubine Li's charm is rare in the world. She is a standard beauty with a strong complexion, but the dog emperor is not moved at all? If I were a man, I would definitely not be able to resist Concubine Li's pursuit. ]
[Although the dog emperor needs to restrain his desires when practicing martial arts, he is still a man after all. How could he turn a blind eye to the stunning beauty? Could it be that he has kidney deficiency? The original book only mentioned that he abstinence, but it seems that he never mentioned that he has kidney deficiency. ]
Jun Liluo was originally reading a memorial when he heard Song Yunchu's voice at the door of the imperial study and was startled.
He raised his eyes almost immediately and looked through the screen towards where Song Yunchu was.
What did Yun Chu just say?
If he were a man, he would definitely not be able to resist Concubine Li's pursuit?
There was a momentary blank in Jun Li Luo's mind, and he could hardly believe what he had just heard.
But he knew very well that he was in reality at the moment, not dreaming.
Isn’t Song Yunchu... a man?
The heart will not lie. If Song Yunchu is not a man, there are only two possibilities.
Either a woman or... a eunuch.
Although Song Yunchu was born fair and handsome, he had an upright figure and a fierce temperament, which were definitely not the characteristics of a eunuch.
Jun Li Luo's heart was in a mess and he shouted subconsciously.
"Yun Chu."
Song Yunchu persuaded Concubine Li to leave and turned back to the imperial desk, "Your Majesty, you called me?"
