Chapter 96: Infatuation
Empress Hua soon learned about Xie Yuan's assassination attempt and cried and begged the emperor to send two more teams of Xiaolong Guards for protection.
It is because a mother worries when her son is away from home that Empress Hua suffered from nightmares and could not sleep for days.
Jiang Yuyan was ordered to diagnose and treat her and give her guidance.
"These assassins must have been sent by them. I will not forgive them in the future!" Queen Hua said cruelly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have sent my people to protect you. They will be able to keep you safe." Jiang Yuyan comforted her in a soft voice.
"Yes, yes, this time it's all thanks to you!" Empress Hua received Xie Yuan's message and knew that it was Jiang Yuyan who sent someone to save her son's life. She also felt more sincere gratitude. "I wonder what reward you want?"
Jiang Yuyan smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty knows that I have everything I need. When Your Highness succeeds in the future, just bless me and wait for a while."
"Okay, okay, of course." Queen Hua agreed repeatedly.
Jiang Yuyan comforted the queen with kind words and personally helped her drink medicine, which made the queen feel very comfortable. She sighed and said, "It would be great if you were my daughter-in-law!"
Jiang Yuyan just smiled and said nothing.
The two were in a good mood when a servant came over and said, "Madam, Madam Gu wants to see you!"
Empress Hua was startled, "Please come in!"
The elegant and graceful Madam Gu wiped her eyes with a handkerchief as soon as they met, "Madam, Prime Minister Hua actually rejected my son. His wife and Xiangxiang both accepted it that day!"
Empress Hua was quite surprised. Logically speaking, this was an excellent marriage, so why would the Right Prime Minister not agree?
"Did he say why?"
"Prime Minister Hua only said that Xiangxiang was naughty and unworthy of my son. I knew he was just fooling me. I finally stopped Li and asked her for an explanation. She stammered and said that her master felt that both of our families were powerful and was afraid that it would arouse His Majesty's suspicion, so he rejected the marriage."
Madam Gu was filled with worry. "My son has been guarding the northern border for ten years for Dayue. Now he is twenty-six and can't even find a wife. How can I not be worried as his mother?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Empress Hua's face. She had never expected that her matchmaking would fail. She could only comfort her, "Sister, don't worry too much. Xie Yuan hasn't married yet!"
"The Second Prince just came of age this year, it's still too early!" Mrs. Gu said gloomily.
"Don't worry, sister. I will find a good marriage for you tomorrow!" Empress Hua was in a bad mood and said perfunctorily.
Seeing that the Queen did not want to talk more, Mrs. Gu held her breath and thanked her, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then she retreated with a sigh.
"What do you think about this?" Queen Hua rubbed her temples and asked tiredly.
Jiang Yuyan didn't expect Jiang Mingan's marriage to be so unsuccessful, and she felt a little sorry. "I thought they were a good match, but I didn't expect that both of them were from higher families."
Jiang Yuyan felt that Prime Minister Hua's thoughts made sense. "Although you are all in the same boat, you are not a close group on the surface. If your children get married, and the head of the civil and military officials get married, wouldn't Your Majesty be worried?"
"Then tomorrow's marriage is very difficult to arrange. If the family background is too low, I'm afraid my sister won't agree. If the family background is too high, it won't work. He is a man whose engagement has been broken off, so the noble family won't agree either. What should I do?"
Jiang Yuyan chuckled, "Your Majesty is always worrying about this and that. It seems like being the mother of a country is not easy!"
Empress Hua chuckled and said angrily, "Of course not. I would rather be like an ordinary woman. On weekdays, I am coaxed and pampered by several gentlemen one by one. I don't know how comfortable it is..."
Both of them smiled with their hands covering their mouths, dispelling the previous depressing atmosphere...
After staying at the Queen's place for a while, Jiang Yuyan returned to Changle Palace at 12:00 p.m. The palace was silent at this time. A man was sitting under the candlelight waiting for her. It was Emperor Sheng Yuan!
Jiang Yuyan was quite surprised. The emperor seldom came to her palace on his own initiative and always summoned her to accompany him.
Emperor Sheng Yuan was not as gentle and accommodating as usual. Instead, his face looked cold, which made Jiang Yuyan's forehead throb.
He hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, how come you have time to come to my place today?"
"Saintess." Emperor Sheng Yuan stood up, looked down at Jiang Yuyan, and said coldly: "Saintess refused to answer me, is it because you have someone in your heart?"
Jiang Yuyan noticed that he reeked of alcohol and started to panic. Could it be that the Xiaolong Guards noticed something and told the emperor?
Jiang Yuyan carefully recalled the details of each time she left the palace. They should not have definite evidence. Could it be that the emperor was deceiving her?
For a moment, his eyes flickered, he was confused and speechless.
Emperor Sheng Yuan pinched her chin and said, "Answer me!"
"His Majesty!"
Jiang Yuyan's eyes were red from being pinched, and I felt pity for her as she looked like she was about to cry.
Emperor Sheng Yuan narrowed his eyes. Today, when he heard the Xiaolong Guards report that the Saint Girl and the Saint Boy seemed to have a close relationship, he became jealous and crazy. Even drinking a few more glasses of wine could not dispel this anger.
As the emperor, he was favored by everyone with good food and drink, but she dared to trample on his feelings and fool him...
Emperor Sheng Yuan felt that his imperial dignity was being trampled upon. His hand slid to Jiang Yuyan's neck and gradually tightened. He said coldly, "Chen Yi said that you are pure and innocent. Prove it to me!"
Jiang Yuyan was shocked and thought to herself that this was bad, and that this was not something that could be solved by just a few sweet words.
Seeing that the two were on the verge of a fight, Xiaowu in the dark was about to jump in, but Jiang Yuyan frowned and stopped him with a gesture.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
All I could hear was the beauty's panicked, delicate and fragile cry, which was bone-chilling and soul-stirring, like smoke and fog.
As they pulled, the bells on her waist rustled, causing Emperor Sheng Yuan to be so distracted that even his eyes lost focus.
The beauty in front of him was like a goddess of the snowy mountains or a rare flower in the paradise. He could not help but sink into her. He had long forgotten how furious he was just now, and only felt that he could no longer bear it.
He is the Son of Heaven, if he wants this woman, she should obey him!
In a trance, his clothes were torn off, and he fell into an endless sea of vagueness. The woman in his arms was graceful and graceful, and he was excited and excited, as if from now on this beautiful land was truly perfect...
