Chapter 83 You Are Not Allowed to Leave
In a short while, Meng Yan helped Lu Haozhi finish a whole bowl of medicine.
The palace maid brought over a spittoon with clean water, and Meng Yan helped him rinse his mouth.
After finally finishing the job, the two of them fell silent again.
If Lu Haozhi didn't ask, Meng Yan wouldn't speak, and the hall was silent.
"You... don't have anything to say to me?"
After a long time, Lu Haozhi couldn't stand the loneliness anymore and asked.
Meng Yan lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, if you have any instructions, I will do as you say."
Lu Haozhi felt suffocated for a moment, and sighed softly, "Yan'er, how did I make you unhappy? Tell me."
The sun outside the window shone on Meng Yan's back, making it impossible to see her expression.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. You are the ruler of the world. Who dares to be unhappy with you? I, your concubine, have simply understood many truths."
She suddenly raised her head and smiled brightly, "Everything that happened in the past was my fault. I didn't do my duty. From now on, I will remember my status and follow the rules. If the emperor doesn't want to see me, I can ask for permission to move to Shanghe Garden..."
Shanghe Garden, also an imperial garden, was built during the previous dynasty and is located forty miles west of the capital. After the Great Zhou Dynasty established its rule, it was renovated several times and remains a popular summer retreat.
During the time of the previous emperor, some unfavored concubines lived here for a long time, and some concubines voluntarily went there to worship Buddha.
"I won't allow it!"
Hearing her intention to leave, Lu Haozhi became furious, as if a ball of fire was burning in his chest.
Meng Yan actually wanted to leave him?
He would never allow this to happen!
"I have spoken out of turn."
Meng Yan lowered her head and said softly, perhaps this was also a provocation to him.
Lu Haozhi stared at her face and said word by word, "Back then, you said with your own mouth that you would stay by my side for the rest of your life, whether in life or death. Why, are you going to break your promise now?"
If she were not here, such a huge imperial city would be so lonely and cold.
He didn't even know how he was going to survive here.
Meng Yan was speechless for a long time before she said calmly, "Your Majesty, there are hundreds of beautiful flowers in the six palaces, and I am not the only one who blooms. I believe that all of you sisters will accompany you for life."
Boom!
Lu Hao punched the bed, "Meng Yan, you know very well that I... I have only had you all these years! I only want you, don't you understand?!"
"Your Majesty's kindness, I will always remember it in my heart."
Meng Yan felt her eyes a little sore and quickly turned her face away.
Once upon a time, she thought she was lucky. Although she married into the royal family and followed the emperor, she was able to win the emperor's heart. Although he had countless concubines, the only one who could be intimate with him was her.
So, when he ascended the throne and conferred titles on his concubines, she only got a little angry with him, knowing in her heart that he was in trouble.
But in the end, all this was just to pave the way for others, a joke.
The plot of the original book is like Meng Yan's destiny.
If a person falls to death in a ditch in the previous life, he will definitely walk around that ditch in the next life.
"you……"
Looking at the stubborn Meng Yan in front of him, Lu Haozhi was like a pig with a punctured bladder, and his temper was gone.
I asked her humbly, but she refused to say anything.
No matter how you try to coax her with sweet words, she won't listen.
What else can he do? He won't do the rest.
"Your Majesty, you should not think too much while you are ill. You should rest more. You are the ruler of the Great Zhou, so your health should be your top priority."
If the two continued talking, who knows what would happen. Meng Yan changed the subject and said a few words of comfort.
Perhaps the bowl of medicine from Xiahou Yu took effect. Lu Haozhi felt his eyelids were heavy and he was sleepy.
He looked at the beauty in front of him, suddenly stretched out his arms, carried her to the bed, and placed her beside him.
"Lie down with me for a while, don't leave."
Lu Haozhi turned over and held her in his arms.
Meng Yan just wanted to wake up, but she felt the man's arms were like iron hoops, strangling her and unable to move.
Didn't he say he was sick? How come this man is still so strong?
"If you want to go to the garden, I'll go with you when I'm free..."
Lu Haozhi's voice gradually became lower, and before the film was finished, he had fallen asleep.
Meng Yan lay there for a while, and when she realized that the arm around her waist had relaxed, she gently stood up, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, then covered him up again.
She straightened her messy hair, lowered the curtain, and walked out.
It’s better for two people not to get too entangled.
Although the storyline had already progressed considerably, she had a hunch that the book wouldn't let her go easily. Lu Haozhi's feelings were likely just lingering feelings.
Meng Yan left the Yangxin Palace and told Ruizhu, who was waiting at the door, "Go back."
Seeing this, Rong An hurried over, bowing and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, my good Imperial Concubine, please be kind to me. You can't leave! If you leave, the Emperor will wake up and he'll definitely take it out on me, saying I'm not doing my job well! The Emperor is ill and relies entirely on your care. You can't leave."
Meng Yan was a little amused and said, "Rong'an, there are so many concubines in the palace, everyone should be attending to the sick, and there are also imperial physicians. Why do you rely on me alone?"
Rong An said with a sad face, "Your Majesty, didn't you see it? Before you came, the Emperor drove out the Consort Xian, Concubine Yun, and Lady Zhao all at once, saying that he didn't want to see them and was waiting for you to come..."
Having said this, he hurriedly covered his mouth.
The emperor definitely didn't want him to say this.
In fact, these things were all thought out by the emperor in advance, and he wanted the imperial concubine to see them with her own eyes.
Now that he has been exposed, he will probably get a beating.
Meng Yan gave him a cold look and smiled, "Then it seems that the emperor is well now." After saying this, she walked around Rong An and went straight down the stairs.
Zhao Chunfang was still kneeling on the steps. Before the time came, no one dared to let her get up without Meng Yan's order.
Meng Yan didn't even glance at the stray dog. She got on the sedan chair and ordered to go to Baohua Palace again.
Just as the procession left Yuehua Gate, a tall, graceful figure stood by the roadside and bowed to her. "I am Xiahou Yu, your humble servant, and I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine. Please stay."
Meng Yan lowered her head and glanced at Xiahou Yu out of the corner of her eyes. She saw that he was still wearing a crane cloak, a jade crown on his head, his hands clasped together, his waist slightly bent, and he looked very respectful.
"If you have anything to say, Imperial Physician Xiahou, please speak here."
She said it calmly, but she was actually a little scared.
She still remembered the last time when Lin Yanrong's head swelled up like a pig, and she was really afraid of this man's cunning and tactics.
Xiahou Yu raised his head slightly, looking at the beautiful woman sitting high on the sedan chair, and asked in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, how have I offended you? Please tell me clearly."
What happened today? One by one, they came to question her, asking her what they had done to make her unhappy and what they had done to offend her.
It’s not that they have offended her, it’s that she herself cannot afford to offend them!
