Chapter 77 Fear and Anxiety
Yun Li was at the fork in the road, following the crowd. She looked at Concubine Shu who was walking in the front and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "She is indeed a woman by the emperor's side. She has a strong mentality."
If this happened to someone else, they would cry, make a fuss, or even hang themselves the next day. If they were not scared to death, they would commit suicide out of shame. But our Concubine Shu acted like nothing happened. I can't help but give her a thumbs up.
I just wonder what will happen after tonight? Everyone will be returning to the palace the day after tomorrow morning. If others knew that the usually dignified and elegant Concubine Shu was such a dissolute person, using the name of praying for the country to cheat on her, making the emperor wear such a big green hat, and in this holy place of Buddhism, wouldn't Concubine Shu be scolded to death by everyone?
By then, she won't even be worthy of living in the cold palace... Thinking about it, Yun Li inexplicably looks forward to the fate of Concubine Shu.
…
The group hurried to the main hall, and when they arrived, the monks of the temple were already sitting cross-legged on the grass in the house to meditate. The house was quiet, and everyone unconsciously slowed down their pace, walked in quietly, and sat down one by one.
Yunli went straight to the last corner. Wei Sisi and Xia Yanzhi followed her and sat together.
Wei Sisi sat down, touched her stomach, and turned to ask Yun Li, "I'm so hungry, I feel dizzy... I don't have any energy after not having breakfast. Have you eaten?"
Yun Li nodded. Of course she ate... She had to eat four meals a day. She would feel bad if she skipped one meal, and she would not treat herself badly just to watch Concubine Shu's excitement.
Wei Sisi was surprised. "We live in the same courtyard, and you didn't even call us when you ate!"
Yun Li looked at her helplessly. Forget it. It was because of her that they were both hungry today. Let's get some food for them to eat.
So she immersed her consciousness in the space supermarket and took a bag of bite-sized red bean-flavored mini breads from the shelf. She tore the packaging bag and pretended to take it out from her sleeve. Six small and exquisite breads appeared in her palm.
"Three each, eat them quickly, don't let anyone see you!"
Yunli distributed the small bread to Wei Sisi and Xia Yanzhi on the left and right.
Wei Sisi picked up a small piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth with shining eyes, and asked vaguely: "What kind of snack is this? It's made so delicately! It's delicious!"
Xia Yanzhi, who was standing by, nodded repeatedly and asked softly, "Yunli, you actually brought snacks with you..."
"Well, I know you two didn't have breakfast, so I brought this for you. Strawberry researched this herself! It's called Red Bean Buns!"
"What's a bun?"
“It’s just a little snack made with flour!”
Wei Sisi said with a look of satisfaction: "Hongdou is really clever and skillful. This is much more delicious than snacks, and it won't make you choke. It's also small and convenient to carry around! When I leave, I'll ask Strawberry to make some more for me to take back!"
"By the way, Yunli, will you go back to Beijing with us tomorrow?"
Yun Li shook her head: "It's not time for me to reflect on my mistakes yet. It will take a few more days!"
Perhaps their conversation was heard by a lady in front of them. She turned around and glared at them, and Wei Sisi and the other two stopped talking.
Yun Li thought to herself that when she got home in the evening, she would unpack all the small breads from her space, pack some for Wei Sisi and Xia Yanzhi, and ask Strawberry to take them to them.
…
Concubine Shu was tossed around all night last night. She didn't have breakfast in the morning. She chanted sutras for two hours in total. It was already noon when she finished. After returning to the yard, she collapsed on the bed and fainted.
Liu Momo and the two maids were frightened.
"Empress"
"My lady, what's wrong with you?"
The maid brought her a glass of water and fed her. After a while, Concubine Shu woke up slowly and was helped up by the maid to lean against the bed.
Liu Momo looked at the pale Concubine Shu with a worried look on her face and asked, "Your Majesty, I will go and ask the accompanying imperial physician to come and see you."
Liu Momo still didn't know what happened last night. Concubine Shu had instructed two maids to keep watch. Naturally, the fewer people who knew about this, the better. Even those around her were not allowed to know.
Concubine Shu was so angry that she wanted to curse. When she saw Liu Momo, she thought of the night when she had incontinence. She felt disgusted with Liu Momo for the past two days and did not let her serve her closely.
"No need! Please go out first. I don't want to see you these days!"
Liu Momo knew she had angered the Empress, but she couldn't figure out what had happened to her that night. Why did her body suddenly become so out of control...
She came down and recalled that she had not eaten anything wrong that caused the diarrhea... She also asked the imperial physician to see her, and the physician said that there was nothing wrong with her body.
After Liu Momo left, Concubine Shu looked at the two maids standing by the bed and angrily scolded them, "What are you still standing there for? Go get me some water! I need a bath! Idiots!"
The two maids bowed respectfully, turned around and hurried out. "Yes, I will go right away."
…
Just now, when she was chanting in the hall, her mind was always thinking about what happened last night, so she neglected Yunli! She asked Wei An to drug Yunli, but she still hadn't seen Wei An since the whole morning. Yunli was fine, and it didn't look like she would let Wei An succeed.
How could Wei An have failed? Last night, she even sent someone else to light aphrodisiac in Yunli's room...
Concubine Shu felt something was wrong.
A guard came in, bowed, and asked, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Let Qingshan come to see me!"
"Your Majesty, Qingshan went out last night and never came back..."
"What about Wei An?"
"Wei An isn't here either!"
"Bang..." The teacup in Concubine Shu's hand fell to the ground, and she felt panic in her heart.
Could it be that Yunli discovered it and didn't fall for it? Then who was in her bed last night...
She didn't dare to think about it any further, she just felt terrified. At this moment, her heart was extremely anxious and uneasy.
"Go, send someone to bring Wei An and Qing Shan back to me!"
"Yes! I obey your command!"
At this time, the third princess ran in: "Mother, what happened last night... Why do I feel that Yunli is fine? Where is Wei An?"
Concubine Shu was extremely panicked: "Xue'er, Wei An didn't succeed. Wei An and Qingshan are both missing! Mother has already sent people to look for them!"
Helian Xue was surprised for a moment: "How could they not succeed? Mother, are you saying that they were discovered by Yunli and are now missing?"
Concubine Shu nodded. She would not tell her daughter what happened here last night. Shame made her unable to speak. And if what happened last night was Yunli's revenge for her, she felt that Yunli could do it secretly and openly in her bed without anyone noticing. She just felt that Yunli was hiding it very well. Thinking of this, she felt a little more afraid of Yunli.
No matter what, she would leave Jing'an Temple at noon tomorrow, and she couldn't let anything go wrong. If she didn't have to pray again tomorrow morning, she would have wanted to leave this place that was so incompatible with her today.
"Xue'er, listen to what Mother said: Don't attack Yunli again. Mother thinks she's very dangerous..."
