Chapter 97 Escape
The next morning, Emperor Sheng Yuan opened his eyes sleepily and was shocked by the scene in front of him. He saw the beautiful woman sitting beside him with her hair disheveled, her snow-white middle garment wrapped around her body in a mess, revealing the purple patches on her neck.
Emperor Sheng Yuan's pupils shrank slightly, "I......"
He was a little flustered. He only remembered that he was so angry last night that he drank a few more glasses of wine. Then he ran to the Changle Palace and had an extremely blissful erotic dream.
But his physical fatigue and the musky smell that filled the room told him that this was actually true!
Emperor Sheng Yuan suddenly lifted the quilt, and a dark red plum blossom bloomed on the bed sheet, making his eyes hot.
"Saint... no, Lan'er..."
Emperor Sheng Yuan was excited, nervous but also happy. "Last night, it was my fault! I will definitely take responsibility!"
The beauty lay motionless with a dull look in her eyes, as if she had lost her soul.
Emperor Sheng Yuan hugged her tightly in panic, "Lan'er, Lan'er, what's wrong with you? Speak!"
Jiang Yuyan didn't respond for a long time.
After a while, Emperor Sheng Yuan frowned and coaxed, "It's my fault. I'll make you my concubine and give you the most honorable position in Dayue, so that you can enjoy all the glory. Don't be silent! Answer me!"
Jiang Yuyan remained in a daze and ignored him.
As the morning court was approaching, Emperor Sheng Yuan lost his patience, sighed helplessly, ordered his men to serve the saint well, and left in a hurry.
He listened to the ministers' reports casually, and then went straight to Changle Palace after the court session.
…………
"I want to leave the palace."
When she saw the person coming, the beauty's face turned pale and she spoke in a hoarse voice.
"No!" The pleasure of last night seemed to still stimulate his nerves. How could Emperor Sheng Yuan let go? "It's my fault, but I really love you!"
The beauty said in a cold voice: "I also sincerely admire Your Majesty and serve Your Majesty, but Your Majesty treats me like a lowly person and has an affair with me without a matchmaker, which damages the dignity of my Lingshu family. Now I have no face to see my parents in the underworld. I might as well die!" After she finished speaking, a dagger was placed on her neck.
Emperor Sheng Yuan was shocked and tried to dissuade him, "My dear Lan'er, you are already my woman. I cherish you so much that I would never despise you. Don't do anything stupid!"
Jiang Yuyan closed her eyes and said sadly: "Your Majesty, please let me leave the palace. If you don't agree, I will have to die in front of you and repay your kindness in the next life!" As she spoke, the dagger moved an inch closer and trickles of blood oozed out.
"I will marry you in a formal ceremony, but you...can't you just stay by my side? Why do you have to threaten me with death?" Emperor Sheng Yuan didn't know what she was stubborn about, and said angrily and worriedly.
"Your Majesty," Jiang Yuyan said with tears in her eyes, "I don't blame you for what happened last night. I just think of it as Lan'er repaying your Majesty's affection! But I have decided that I can't face your Majesty again! Please let me out of the palace!"
"After all, you still refuse to obey me..." Emperor Sheng Yuan said in a trance.
The emperor ruled the world, but for the first time he felt frustrated and helpless.
The two of them confronted each other for a long time, and Emperor Sheng Yuan finally gave in because he was in the wrong. "Okay, okay, everything is as you wish!"
After saying that, he pushed the door open and left in embarrassment.
Jiang Yuyan put down the dagger, knelt down and said to the back: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The next day, Emperor Sheng Yuan even skipped his morning court session, which frightened the Empress so much that she hurried over to pay her respects.
Emperor Sheng Yuan controlled the world, but at this moment he could not control a woman. He could not understand why she gave him the most precious essence of a woman, but was unwilling to be his concubine even though she threatened to die?
Emperor Sheng Yuan told Empress Hua about this in a veiled way. Empress Hua suppressed her shock and said, "The Saint is a person who is not from the world and has a noble character. Your Majesty's actions must have hurt the Saint's heart. Why not let her go, which would be fair to the Saint..."
Emperor Sheng Yuan sighed, "Is it really my fault? I shouldn't have indulged in pleasure for a moment and missed the Saint Girl, but I really can't bear to let her go..."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to blame yourself. Since the Saint is willing to leave the palace, why not give her some grace? I like this Saint very much. I will often summon her to the palace in the future. If Your Majesty misses her, you can come to my Pepper Room and sit for a while."
Emperor Sheng Yuan was silent for a long time, and finally responded: "Then confer her the title of Princess Lanmeng, grant her a badge to enter the palace, and allow her to enter the palace at any time."
"I, on behalf of the Saint, would like to thank Your Majesty for his kindness!" said Queen Hua.
In Changle Palace, Jiang Yuyan was also packing up. She couldn't stay in this palace anymore. The night before, she urged Meng Ling to give Emperor Sheng Yuan an extremely realistic dream, and let Xiao Wu rock the bed all night. Her voice became hoarse, and she was able to deceive the Xiaolong Guards outside.
If this happens too many times, the emperor will inevitably wake up suddenly or realize something. Then it will be difficult to escape.
Hey, don't say that! Yesterday's scene was really a waste of acting skills!
"The Queen has arrived!"
Jiang Yuyan suddenly came back to her senses when she heard the sharp voice of a eunuch.
"Long live the queen!" Jiang Yuyan said.
"You and His Majesty...you..." Empress Hua hesitated, "You really don't want to be a concubine? His Majesty really loves you."
"I don't want to." Jiang Yuyan had a blank expression on her face, making it hard to understand.
Empress Hua asked, "Are you willing to help me again in the future?"
"Of course." Jiang Yuyan raised her eyes, "Your Majesty should find a way to let me enter the palace, right?"
Empress Hua heaved a sigh of relief, "His Majesty has conferred upon you the title of Princess Lanmeng, and granted you the right to enter the palace at any time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Yuyan thanked her.
"It's just... His Majesty still seems to be unwilling to give up on you. Once you enter the palace, you will inevitably be entangled." Queen Hua said.
Jiang Yuyan frowned. She didn't want to go back to the palace for no reason and relive the old days with the Emperor. She had become immune to the soul-stealing technique after using it too many times.
"I.....would I find someone to marry?"
Jiang Yuyan wondered secretly whether her husbands would torture her to death if they knew about this.
Empress Hua was delighted and asked, "What do you think of Ming An?"
"General Yuheng?" A deep, three-dimensional face with a cold and serious expression appeared in front of Jiang Yuyan's eyes. She was silent for a moment.
With her current status, no matter Xiao Yuanyan, Xie Jingyu, Qin Shangyu or Shen Yi, they can't get away with it. The Queen's proposal is obviously the best choice, not to mention that she has a very good impression of Jiang Mingan, with admiration and pity. It's not impossible.
However, her true identity and those gentlemen...
Jiang Yuyan had a headache. "If His Majesty knew about this, would he be furious and destroy the Jiang family?"
Empress Hua said, "I will go and talk to Your Majesty about this matter. It will be fine if you agree."
Jiang Yuyan had no choice but to nod, "Then it's up to you, Madam Queen."
Empress Hua smiled with satisfaction. With this intelligent, capable and noble niece-in-law, she was even more powerful.
