"How come you don't have that kind of medicine!"
Shangguan Rou frowned, looking extremely uneasy.
Song Xia: "..."
You think you're so great?
Can she kick her out of the space?
That's what she was thinking.
Shangguan Rou said, "Give me some of the same cosmetics as before."
"Choose for yourself!"
Song Xia did not help her get it.
Shangguan Rou snorted and walked towards the cosmetics shelf. This time, she didn't buy as much as before, and the whole purchase only cost her 1,325 taels of silver.
Shangguan Rou took out two 1,000-tael silver notes from her bosom and handed them to Song Xia.
Song Xia told her to wait a moment, then took the money to the counter and started giving her change.
She knows how much it costs without even needing to calculate it.
Shangguan Rou couldn't help but mutter to herself, "She really is a goddess, so different from mortals. It's a pity that her things are too expensive, otherwise she would definitely be a frequent customer."
After Shangguan Rou left.
Song Xia summoned Changfeng and asked him to call Jin Beicheng back.
Jin Beichen thought something important had happened, so he flew all the way home. As soon as he saw Song Xia, he ran over and asked, "Wife, what's wrong? Is there something you need?"
After all, Song Xia wouldn't usually ask him to do things.
Unless something really serious happens.
Upon hearing this...
Song Xia said to Jin Beicheng.
"The Sixth Prince and Shangguan Rou came to my space one after the other. One asked me to help him become emperor, and the other asked me to buy a drug that would make people unable to resist. I have already refused the Sixth Prince's request, and I did not sell the drug to Shangguan Rou either."
"Husband, do you know where Shangguan Rou is now? She's dressed as a nun, yet she's asking me to buy that kind of medicine. What is she trying to do?"
"this…"
Jin Beichen quickly remembered: "Today seems to be the anniversary of the late Empress's death. Every year, the Emperor would go to Lingyun Temple to pay his respects to her and light an eternal lamp for her."
I learned that this was the case.
Song Xia casually asked, "Are there any nunneries around Lingyun Temple?"
"It seems so."
Jin Beicheng returned to Song Xia.
If so, then Shangguan Rou is very likely there.
Song Xia grabbed Jin Beichen's hand and said, "We can't just stand by and watch this. If the Emperor really falls for Shangguan Rou's schemes, it won't be good for us..."
"Um."
Jin Beichen nodded and said, "I'll take some men there right away."
"Be careful, contact me if anything happens."
Song Xia gave instructions.
"good!"
Jin Beichen responded and, along with Chang'an and two of his trusted men, rode to Lingyun Temple. To avoid being discovered by others, they all disguised themselves before leaving.
Lingyun Temple.
The Emperor is already at Lingyun Temple. He just lit an eternal lamp for the former Empress. As usual, he will stay in this hall for a long time, until lunchtime, before leaving.
He ate a vegetarian meal there before leaving with his entourage.
today.
Just as the Emperor was about to go to the backyard for a vegetarian meal, he saw a white figure running past in the distance, and that figure looked very much like the late Empress.
"Jin Xin!"
The emperor shouted and chased after them.
The chief eunuch realized what was happening and hurriedly called for the guards to chase after them with him.
They followed the emperor all the way out of the temple's back gate.
Immediately afterwards.
The emperor chased after the white figure along the mountain path behind the mountain for an unknown period of time until he reached a place shrouded in mist, where the white figure he was chasing suddenly disappeared.
He began searching everywhere, and as he searched, a woman soaking in a hot spring came into his view.
This person was none other than Shangguan Rou.
She feigned alarm and cried out, "Who's there? Who's there!"
Don't say it.
Even with makeup on, Shangguan Rou still possessed a certain charm. Coupled with her current look of a deer seeing a tiger, she became even more captivating.
But who is the emperor?
He had seen many beauties, but when it came to someone like Shangguan Rou, he was only momentarily amazed before losing interest.
He was about to look away when his gaze fell on her injured shoulder and body, and he paused involuntarily.
"Jin Xin!"
That's how he and Yue Jinxin met in the first place.
In order to marry her brother-in-law, Yue Jinxin's younger sister had the servants in the house bully Yue Jinxin. However, she fought back fiercely, so the servants failed to succeed and only tore her clothes.
despite this.
Her family still believed Yue Jinxin's words, thinking that she was promiscuous and shameless.
then.
They sent her to a nunnery, saying it was to help her cultivate her character, and that she could return home when they were satisfied.
But unexpectedly.
Her sister wasn't finished yet. Not only did she bribe the people at the nunnery to shave Yue Jinxin's head, but she also made them punch and kick her from time to time, abusing her in all sorts of ways.
That day.
Yue Jin thought she hadn't taken a bath in a while, so she boldly took a bath in the hot spring she had discovered before. As she was bathing, the Emperor suddenly appeared.
At this time, the emperor was not yet the emperor.
He was still just the crown prince.
He was here because he was assassinated while hunting.
Despite her own difficult circumstances, Yue Jinxin still saved him.
The emperor initially thought she was deliberately getting close to him, but as they spent more time together, he discovered that she was simple-minded and had no ulterior motives towards him, and gradually fell in love with her.
later.
With his help.
Yue Jinxin avenged herself and gained the respect of her family.
only.
At that time, he was not yet in a position to make his own decisions, so Yue Jinxin entered his residence as a concubine.
until.
He only made Yue Jinxin empress after he ascended to the throne.
Because at that time, she was the only pregnant woman in the entire backyard; no one else was.
However.
He underestimated the women in the harem, even though he was very careful and arranged for many people to protect Yue Jinxin.
Yue Jinxin still encountered problems. Due to the baby being too large, she had a difficult childbirth, and in the end, neither she nor the baby survived.
Memories resurfaced in my mind.
The emperor's eyes welled up with tears, and he walked toward Shangguan Rou.
"Jin Xin..."
"I...I'm not her! You've mistaken me for someone else. Get out of here!"
Shangguan Rou hid herself in the water, looking terrified of him.
Her voice brought the emperor back to his senses.
The emperor didn't leave. He looked directly at her and asked, "What's your name? How did you get here?"
Shangguan Rou didn't answer him and hid herself even further.
The emperor heard a noise behind him.
He turned and left.
Not long after.
He had someone bring him a clean set of clothes.
This is his own; he always brings several of these with him when he goes out.
But unexpectedly.
Shangguan Rou was no longer there; she put on her clothes and ran away.
The Emperor immediately ordered his men to investigate the nunnery, and it didn't take long for them to find out Shangguan Rou's identity and why she had come there.
Her situation is undoubtedly somewhat similar to that of Jin Xin before.
After much deliberation.
The Emperor decided to bestow upon Shangguan Rou the title of Consort Rou and have her move into Yunle Palace.
When Jin Beichen and the others arrived, it was too late. He had already bestowed upon her the title of concubine and was preparing to take her back to the palace.
"Master, this..."
