Chapter 68 I wish him impotence!
The lamp is dim and the night is quiet.
The night in the imperial city was very quiet, extremely quiet, yet there was an inexplicable sense of oppression as if a storm was about to come.
He Yanchen came out of the shower and looked at Ji Ming calmly:
"Does she know she's wrong?"
Ji Ming was stunned. He lowered his head and dared not say anything. The queen scolds you every day.
Seeing Ji Ming like this, He Yanchen knew that Yue Li would definitely not think she was wrong, and would definitely still be scolding him for not coaxing her.
Oh!
He stood up and was about to walk out of the hall when he saw a carrier pigeon sitting by the window.
He Yanchen slowed down and asked someone to bring the secret letter tied to the pigeon's foot.
After scanning the entire page at a glance, his expression gradually darkened.
Ji Ming waited for a long time but he didn't hear him say he wanted to go to the Jade Palace. Just as he was about to ask, he heard the order: "Have Yu Zhaorong continue to keep me under house arrest, and send the imperial guards to guard the Jade Palace carefully."
Ji Ming: “?”
Now that’s good, Yu Zhaorong is going to blow the roof off.
*
Yueli was really furious.
She thought she was really sick.
She had tried her best to make He Yanchen a good emperor, but now that he was better, he confined herself to favor others. All her hard work ended up being a wedding dress for another woman.
He had a bunch of concubines and children, but she was still the only one.
Yue Li wiped her tears vigorously, not bothering to listen to Ji Ming's words of comfort. She returned to the bedroom angrily and slammed the door.
Ji Ming: “…” He hadn’t finished speaking yet.
Lian Qiao was also a little disappointed, but Ji Ming patted her and whispered, "You should also persuade the queen. His Majesty is not tired of her."
"His Majesty hasn't said how long the confinement will last..." Lian Qiao muttered, "Our queen loves His Majesty so much, she's going to be miserable now."
Ji Ming took a step closer and whispered, "Things are not going well out there lately."
Ji Ming did not know all the affairs in the court. After all, he was the one waiting outside when He Yanchen summoned the ministers. However, He Yanchen did not hide anything from him. He also saw the undercurrents in the previous dynasty and was afraid that things were going to change.
"Anyway, go and persuade the Empress. His Majesty is doing this for her own good. Please keep an eye on her these days and don't let her go out."
"Your Majesty is currently too busy to handle everything, so you can only take shelter in the Zhuoyu Palace for the time being."
Ji Ming sighed as he spoke. His Majesty had been a little lax in the past few years, and it was now extremely difficult for him to control the government. The lights in the imperial study had never been turned off at night in the past few days.
Moreover, Your Majesty will personally go to the military camp on the outskirts of the city to train troops tomorrow, and will not be back for about a month.
Ji Ming thought, in addition to this, His Majesty was probably afraid that if Yu Zhaorong got into trouble while he was not in the palace, no one would take care of her, so he simply locked her up.
Lian Qiao was confused and could only nod.
After seeing Ji Ming off, Lian Qiao felt inexplicably nervous looking at the imperial guards surrounding the area outside.
We are not here to see any prisoners, do we need so many people?
She curled her lips and was about to go back when she saw an uninvited guest walking towards her from a distance.
Huang Baolin approached the Jade Palace but was stopped by the imperial guards: "Your Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to approach the Jade Palace."
Huang Baolin's face was still a little pale, and he smiled softly and said, "Brother Guard, I just want to see Yu Zhaorong."
That vicious woman actually gave her a red flower, and now she deserves to be disliked by His Majesty.
Ze Lan stuffed a bag of silver into the hands of the guards, but none of them took it and just kept shaking their heads.
Huang Baolin saw Lian Qiao standing not far away, so he didn't go forward and just said, "Miss Lian Qiao, I wonder if Concubine Zhaorong has been sleeping well these days? Doing too many bad things will shorten your life."
Lian Qiao stood at the threshold and sneered, saying loudly: "Our queen eats well and sleeps soundly, there is no need for you, Baolin, to worry about her."
Huang Baolin curled his lips and said, "Really? I thought Empress Zhaorong would be upset since His Majesty hadn't been to Zhuoyu Palace for so long."
"But please rest assured, Empress Zhaorong. I will take good care of His Majesty. When I have the chance, I will speak to His Majesty and have your house arrest lifted."
Lian Qiao was so angry that she turned around and ran towards the small kitchen. Huang Baolin sneered and said how powerful she was.
But before she could finish laughing, Lian Qiao angrily picked up a bucket of pig blood and splashed it on her face.
"Ah!" The fishy smell almost made Huang Baolin faint.
But the imperial guards did not stop her. They just watched Lian Qiao step over the threshold and splash water on her, then quickly retreated.
Lian Qiao stood inside the door and clapped her hands. Anyway, they couldn't get out and no one else could get in.
If you have the guts, come in and beat her up!
snort!
She slammed the palace door shut, leaving Huang Baolin outside, helpless and furious.

Yueli sat on the porch in the backyard, looking at the withered pear trees all over the yard. She didn't want to cry at all. After all, it wasn't the first time she was abandoned.
But the bitterness almost filled my entire chest, and I couldn't stop crying.
After crying for a long time, she felt a little dizzy and leaned against the pillar to wipe her tears with her sleeve.
Suddenly, Yueli seemed to find that there were more pear trees.
She clearly remembered that there weren't so many and so dense before.
Yueli stood up and walked towards the pear trees.
The backyard of Zhuoyu Palace was not blocked off, but the palace behind the forest had been deserted for a long time and no one lived there, so no one went there. But today, she seemed to have walked around for a long time but still couldn't reach the end.
Yueli scratched her head. Is this the secret passage from her previous life?
But when did this happen? How come she has no idea about it?
Could it have been built during the time she lived in Linde Palace? It was still nearly two years before the Xian Wang's rebellion in her previous life, so why would He Yanchen build a secret passage so early?
Yueli hurriedly ran back along the same path. She had no sense of direction and it took her a long time to get back.
"Forsythia!"
Lian Qiao heard her master calling her and hurried into the hall: "My Lady, what's wrong?"
Yueli asked her, "During the time I was away from the Jade Palace, did anyone come to the Imperial Court?"
Lian Qiao shook her head. "I've been with you most of the time. It's Xiao Lizi who's guarding the Jade Palace. But I told him to report anything immediately. He didn't say anything, so there's nothing unexpected."
Yueli sat on the couch, staring at the pear orchard outside the window, her heart restless for a long time.
*
The days of house arrest were so boring that Yueli didn't even know what day it was.
Although everything in Zhuoyu Palace was as usual and no one came to disturb her except that she couldn't go out, Yueli still felt uncomfortable.
She lay on the windowsill, watching the birds pecking at food outside. Suddenly, Lian Qiao ran in, panting and saying, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has returned to the palace..."
Yueli said with a cold face: "I'm back, so what? Could it be that he still remembers me?"
Lian Qiao felt reluctant to hit her, but even more reluctant to hide the truth from her, so she hesitantly said, "His Majesty returned to the palace, but he sent Huang Baolin to the city gate to greet him. Even the Empress didn't have this honor..."
Yueli gritted her teeth, but had no way to vent her anger.
She stood up suddenly and suddenly wanted to leave the palace.
Doesn't that secret passage lead outside the palace? Why didn't she just take the silver and run away?
She didn't want to be abandoned again, so she simply abandoned him first.
After driving out all the palace people, Yue Li impulsively closed the door and started packing her small bag.
While scolding He Yanchen, she stuffed all the silver he had given her into the bag. Fortunately, she had foresight and asked Lian Qiao to exchange it for a lot of silver notes after she was reborn.
When night fell, Yueli ran out of the dense forest angrily with her package.
The imperial city seemed particularly quiet tonight. Yue Li walked in the woods for a long time. The night was pitch black, and she was almost dizzy from walking around so much.
She wiped her red and swollen eyes, cursing He Yanchen in her heart while groping for the way.
Let him and his Huang Baolin be well!
She doesn't want him anymore!
I wish he would be impotent!
After walking for a while, Yue Li suddenly heard the sound of weapons clashing in the distance, accompanied by a dull roar.
She shuddered and hugged her little bundle tightly.
She didn't know how long it took her to walk out of the woods, but the chaotic scene in the distance almost scared her to death.
Why did the fight start?!
Yueli quickly covered her mouth, and at this moment, a bloody head rolled to her feet.
