Chapter 35 Chapter 35 [VIP]
The emperor was not yet completely drunk, and was even more sober than Shen Youyi. He certainly knew that his father, brothers, and a group of ministers were still in the Jade Tower and the Golden Palace, but precisely because of this, the fire burned more and more vigorously, almost devouring everyone.
His father wanted him to live in harmony with his wives and concubines, but he ignored the long-lost women in the palace and doted on the imperial concubine regardless of the emperor's health, wishing he could die on her.
Just like he did in the beginning.
The countless romantic and charming scenes in Zhaoyang Palace were heard and heard in the Eastern Palace. He could hardly sleep at night. There were countless times when he even wanted to rush into Zichen Palace with a sword... He grew up in the palace and had no chance to kill people with his own hands, but every time this thought came to his mind, every limb trembled. The fear and excitement he felt were almost as great as the joy of being with her.
But he had been taught by the emperor since childhood, and his every word and action was restricted. Although his father did not like his mother, he had held him on his knees and taught him the principles of governing the country and commanding his subjects. He had teased him with a little awkwardness, invited famous teachers, and personally selected the noble families to assist the Eastern Palace. He was in awe of his father... and also admired him a little, hoping to become a monarch like him, to expand the territory and bring peace to the world.
Fortunately, Yi Niang had said at that time that she did not want to bear children for her father and was willing to take medicine... But now he had to watch her endure the unrestrained doting of a mature man, and even bear children for his father.
He knew that she couldn't bear any hardship, so he called her a few times affectionately, but his arms tightly bound Shen Youyi, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Ah Zhen can bear it, every time I didn't serve you comfortably..."
Even though they had been in a shady relationship from the beginning, Tai still gritted his teeth and said something like this, not quite confident: "You have tried, am I any worse than Father?"
She was like a rootless duckweed, relying on him, but she was unwilling to compromise herself. She thought he was older than her, and only then did she realize what it was like to be a woman. She wanted a lot and was eager. It took them some time to figure out how to get along.
A pot of boiling water was about to explode in her head, and Tai Liao was the spark that ignited the explosion. Shen Youyi was shocked beyond words. She was the wife of Tai Liao's best friend, and she really had a relationship with Tai Liao!
The relationships between the royal families were more complicated than the silk threads she had embroidered. How could she have the leisure to judge their strengths and weaknesses? Shen Youyi gritted her teeth and tried to put together a complete sentence as fluently as possible, lowering her voice to warn: "Your Highness...Aren't you afraid that I might be pregnant?"
Emperor Yuan Shuo has been feeling unwell lately, so it's probably difficult for him to favor her anymore. He's too bold. If he gives birth to an illegitimate child in ten months, and it can't be concealed, both she and the child will die!
He thought of what happened before, his eyes dimmed, and he held her hand and whispered, "Don't you also want to have a child with me?"
It is difficult to tell the time between his father and him. No matter who this child belongs to, as long as there is a possibility that he has half of his blood, he will treat this child as his own in the future.
He simply couldn't believe that one day he would say such nonsense under the influence of alcohol, but his hands did not slow down. He carried her to the couch and whispered soothingly: "Ah Zhen, if you are pregnant, just give birth to the baby. I won't treat him badly... We haven't had sex for almost two years. Don't you miss me?"
She had to serve the emperor, and although he was angry, he did not mean to blame her. But since she wanted him to remain a virgin for her, she should at least give her some benefits.
She could not resist the strength of an adult man no matter what, not to mention he was drunk. Shen Youyi seized the opportunity and bit his neck. She bit so deeply that she could taste the sweet and fishy taste of the warm blood dripping, just like the taste of the wine.
If she gave birth to children for Tian, she would be given a large piece of territory. But if she gave birth to children for Tai, what would she get? Would the entire Wei family be beheaded?
Although Tai's movements were a little slow, he did not let go. He just gritted his teeth and endured for a moment, looking at her in shock.
"Azhen..." He almost gritted his teeth, "How could you do this to me!"
Her white teeth were stained with bright red, her makeup was half-faded, and in the flickering candlelight, her eyes were cold and beautiful, like a seductive ghost.
He was so distraught that he dared not even look and blew out the candle.
Shen Youyi's hands were shaking badly, but her expression was calm: "Your Highness, you should sober up."
"I am your stepmother, His Majesty's concubine. Even if we had something in the past, it was before I entered the palace. We are not destined to be together. I am not that greedy. I just want to live a peaceful life that I couldn't have before. You have a concubine, other concubines, and daughters-in-law. Why can't you let me go?"
Her head ached, as if a hand was clutching her heart and strangling her throat. She was very grateful to Taili for pleading for Shen. If she were an unmarried girl, she would offer her body to repay him, but now she had no control over her every move.
"The envoy has a wife, Luofu has a husband, and Wei has taken me back. I cannot ignore His Highness and continue to keep his virginity for me."
She mustered up her courage and said, "Your Majesty hasn't been very fond of me lately. If Your Highness insists on having an affair with me, then I have no other choice but to die. For the sake of our past friendship, can't we part ways amicably?"
He muttered it twice, chewing it between his lips and teeth. It seemed to have changed its taste. His face darkened. "Ah Zhen, for you, I can even kill Xiao Che. Is that difficult?"
She had told him that she was too naive at that time, thinking that once she got married, she had to strictly abide by the three m four status, and that many rules did not need to be followed. Xiao Che had the intention to deceive the emperor, even though they had known each other for more than ten years.
Yi Niang M was his woman from the beginning. Any man other than him who wants to have even a little bit of contact with her should go to hell.
Shen Youyi, she couldn't call out a sound, and looked at him blankly, as if she didn't know this person.
"Erlang may have said something to you that made us feel distant, but do you think he's a good person?"
Tai Liao caressed her skin, his eyes tender and affectionate, yet like a venomous snake clinging to her from the shadows. He whispered, "Ah Zhen, he's just a wishful thinking, sickly, and totally unworthy of you. I've kept some things from you for your own good, but we are a married couple. One day, I will teach you to be my only wife... maybe it won't take ten years."
The intensity of the forget-me-not powder was beyond his imagination. It not only made her forget her worries, but also made her forget everything she had experienced. She was a blank piece of paper, allowing him to fill it with his writing.
He had taken great pains to create a reasonable memory for Yi Niang that belonged only to him, and the two of them lived happily together for a while. However, she returned to the Wei family, and many things went wrong, and it was difficult to hide some things from her.
She still had feelings for him, but was also afraid that he would cheat on her.
Although he was extremely greedy for her, he didn't only care about that matter. Seeing that she was trembling with fear, he leaned over and kissed her between the eyebrows, saying softly: "I am your husband. I truly care about you and love you. I will not teach Ah Zhen to do something he doesn't like. Don't you remember how obedient I was to you in the past? Can the emperor sacrifice himself for you?"
Her family was involved in a conspiracy case, and he couldn't bear to see her suffer in prison, so he tried every possible means to get her out. Apart from the official status, he gave almost everything he had to teach her to enjoy life better than that of a concubine. He was even afraid that taking too much cold medicine would harm her body, so when she started eating meat, he didn't want her to serve him too much, and mostly used his hands to serve her.
My father is already this old, but he still wants to fight with her every morning and stay up all night long. Can it be said that he loves her?
Perhaps it was a prophecy. The Empress Dowager had no time to soothe her with soft words, to teach her to use her hands to tame that restless thing. Firelight gradually lit up outside the window, and Chen Rongshou's slightly shrill yet commanding voice suddenly rang out: "How did you serve the Imperial Concubine? She was drunk, and there was no one watching over her. You all went out to slack off?"
Tan Rui was explaining something to him in a soft voice, and both people in the room changed color.
Chen Rongshou is an imperial servant. His presence here is either in accordance with the order of Emperor Yuan Shuo, or... Emperor Yuan Shuo must be right in front of him!
Out of nowhere, the Queen Mother changed into a eunuch's clothes and stayed in the same room with the emperor's favorite concubine. What could possibly happen?
Shen Youyi wanted to roll the living person in front of her into a ball and throw it out of the window. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She grabbed Taiyi's arm and stuffed him under the couch.
Although Tai Liao was born tall, he didn't know how to shrink his bones, so he struggled to get in.
Shen Youyi kicked randomly a few times until not even a piece of clothing was exposed, and then he felt relieved.
She climbed onto the couch using her hands and feet, took a quick look at the bronze mirror, and closed her eyes only after making sure she could see nothing.
The palace door creaked open, bringing in the sound of laughter and joy from afar. The singing and dancing continued, probably because the queen had summoned singers and dancers to the banquet again.
A warm, dim light shone through the screen. Perhaps out of concern that she might do something indecent, the door was opened for only a moment and then gently closed.
Shen Youyi tore open half of her clothes randomly, as if exposing the speed of her heartbeat. She swallowed subconsciously, but pretended to be awakened. She moaned and slowly opened her eyes.
Emperor Yuan Shuo had never had much interest in banquets, and what was more, the imperial concubine was ill and had drunk too much medicinal wine. Her absence was a cause for worry.
In front of the empress, concubines and ministers, he did not want to show his concern, which was not easy to see. However, after sitting for only a moment, the imperial attendant came to report something, and Emperor Yuanshuo simply stood up and left.
It wasn't a big deal, so he came to take a look at her first.
Sure enough, once she was out of his sight, she would start doing something that would cause him a headache.
Her clothes were scattered all over the place, and she had none of the manners of a concubine. She was not afraid that no one would notice when she vomited, so she sent everyone outside and treated this place as her bedroom, where she had a deep sleep.
Emperor Yuan Shuo felt a little displeased. The people in Yaoguang Palace were too obedient, but could he really believe everything a drunkard said?
The glazed palace lantern was gently placed on the table, illuminating her confused and frightened expression.
The beauty on the couch was still a little dazed, but she still had the most basic intuition. Like a child who had done something wrong, she was afraid of being disliked. She looked at him timidly, opened her arms and said, "Your Majesty... Hug Ah Zhen, hug me."
