Chapter 134 Because of Madam
The most uneasy one is Yun Wan.
She couldn't understand why Emperor Jingxuan suddenly knew Asui was his child. Was it just based on a similar pair of eyes? And why did his attitude change so drastically overnight, becoming so certain?
She was sure that she did not have amnesia, and she did not have the habit of talking in her sleep. Could it be that something happened last night without her knowing?
Yun Wan was in deep thought.
Deep in thought and puzzled.
The sound of dripping water came from the inner hall. Yun Wan stood behind the desk and wrote with a pen in her hand to calm her mind. After she put pen to paper, she stared at the two words on the blank rice paper in a daze.
"Why?"
A pair of strong arms quietly wrapped around his waist, and the man who suddenly appeared stared at the words on the paper and read aloud.
Wearing plain pajamas, the man's body temperature was as hot as an iron through the thin cloth, burning Yun Wan's body so much that she trembled slightly.
A muffled laugh came from behind her ear. Emperor Jingxuan placed his free palm on the back of her hand. His slender and powerful knuckles exerted force lightly. Under his control, Yun Wan's pen moved like a dragon and wrote down a word.
'Why' becomes 'no why'
The vigorous handwriting reveals an undeniable strength and grandeur that cannot be ignored.
Emperor Jingxuan curled his lips in satisfaction. After writing the last stroke, he snatched the wolf-hair brush from her hand and casually threw it into the brush washer beside him. He then put his arms around Yun Wan and flirted with her.
"Madam, what are you worried about? Why don't you tell me?"
His clothes were open, and the deep collar reached his waist, revealing his wheat-colored chest naked in front of Yun Wan.
The ravines are clearly defined, the muscles are bulging, and the flowing water droplets emit a luster in the candlelight, as if smeared with a layer of golden honey, sexy and attractive.
There was only an ink belt around her narrow waist, tied loosely, and could be easily untied with the slightest touch.
Yun Wan took a quick glance and then looked away, and the man couldn't help feeling disappointed.
After a lot of twists and turns in her mind, she finally asked, "Your Majesty, is you treating Asui well because you've long suspected his background?"
She thought the man would nod or hesitate, but he raised his chin, raised his thick eyebrows slightly and said, "Madam, do you think I treat that boy well?"
Yun Wan was stunned for a moment, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Recalling the changes in Asui over the past few months, she murmured softly, "I can see that Asui has become much closer to you these days."
In addition to the natural respect for the emperor's majesty, there is also the admiration and worship of the younger generation for the elders.
Just like that day when Asui was sick, Emperor Jingxuan took care of him instead of Yunwan. Asui later told her: Although Your Majesty is fierce, he likes talking to Your Majesty very much.
In Yun Wan's opinion, Asui not only feels unfamiliar and curious about the role of father, but also has a desire for it.
Perhaps in Asui's mind, his father should be as tall and majestic as the man in front of him, and he should be able to lift him up very high without any effort.
While she was stunned, Emperor Jingxuan had already pulled her onto his lap and looked at her with a serious expression: "It's not because of who his father is, but because his mother is you, Madam."
"I treat him well because of my wife."
Even if Chang Sui was really Lu San's son, Emperor Jingxuan would not do anything to him. At most, he would just dislike him.
He is not so petty that he cannot tolerate a little child.
This kid is the apple of the eye of the lady's eye, so Emperor Jingxuan doesn't mind taking him under his protection. As long as Asui is filial and doesn't let the lady worry.
Now that he knows that the boy is his own son, their relationship has only become closer, and he has an extra fatherly responsibility for Asui's future growth.
At least, he was willing to support Asui and lift him to a higher level.
His straightforward words made Yun Wan a little confused.
Because of her, I treat the children she gave birth to well.
Because of her, others can benefit.
Yun Wan had never heard such words in her past 23 years of life. The words she had heard most often were -
Because she had a tough fate, she killed her biological mother and husband; because she was not good enough and not lovable, she did not deserve the love of the elders or the closeness of others...
Yun Wan once doubted herself, but ultimately chose to turn a deaf ear. She thought she was living a tough and insightful life.
But why at this moment does my heart feel like it is soaked in vinegar, sour and swollen, and even my eyes are out of control, and I have the urge to cry.
She clenched her palms tightly to prevent herself from losing composure.
A sigh escaped from the corner of his lips. Emperor Jingxuan held her hand and forcefully pried open her clenched fingers one by one.
Sure enough, a pink crescent mark was pinched out on the palm of the white and soft hand.
Like coaxing a child, he lowered his head and blew gently. The warm breath turned into feathers, tickling the palm of his hand. Yun Wan felt a little embarrassed.
Emperor Jingxuan: "Madam, are you curious about why I concluded that boy is my son?"
Yun Wan sighed, "Because of Asui's eyes?"
Lowering his head slightly, with his chin resting on the top of her hair, Emperor Jingxuan slowly opened his lips: "It's just one of them."
"That kid was born with a contraindication to eating peanuts, or he'd get a rash?"
Yun Wan nodded, and suddenly had a bad feeling.
He chuckled softly and said quietly, "Madam, you don't know, I was also like this when I was young."
Facing Yun Wan's astonished eyes, he said succinctly, "It happened only once, and no more than three people knew about it. I was one of them. One is dead, and the other is the current head of the Imperial Hospital."
"I was wondering at the time, how could there be such a coincidence in this world?"
Emperor Jingxuan sighed inwardly, raised his lips, and stared at her, saying, "It's just that the evidence is not yet sufficient. I don't think I can hear Madam admit it in person."
"But in my heart, Chang Sui is no different from my own son."
Since he is his son, he naturally cannot continue to be Lu San's son under the name of the youngest son of the Lu family.
Such a rare son should be his.
Yun Wan was still unsure of herself. She grabbed his collar and asked nervously, "What is your Majesty going to do?"
Her eyes were clearly black and white, as clear as a mirror, and at this moment they reflected Jingxuan's face clearly, and her uneasiness was beyond words.
Glancing down at the robe that had become increasingly loose due to her tugging, Emperor Jingxuan smiled and said, "Madam, I know you have concerns in your heart, and I won't do anything rash."
Even though he desperately wanted to announce it to the world, pointing to the young man Chang Sui, he said to all the civil and military officials, "This boy is my own son! Guaranteed to be genuine!"
But he also had to consider his wife's reputation and must not let her bear the absurd reputation of being unfaithful and betraying her husband.
Therefore, everything needs to be considered in the long term, and what Madam has is far from enough.
"Give me some time, and trust me for once, okay?"
He held the petite woman in his arms, his tone softer than ever before.
As if she understood the unspoken meaning in his eyes, Yun Wan was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
"good."
She believed him once.
If he lied to her, she would never trust him again.
........
Despite this, Emperor Jingxuan did not hide his preference and indulgence for Asui at all, and it was very blatant.
He would often either reward him with a large number of strange and rare things, or call him to the Qinzheng Hall to personally check on his homework.
Such things are a miserable nightmare for people like Pei Qian, but they are particularly interesting to Asui because Emperor Jingxuan can always deal with his various strange questions.
For example: One Hundred Thousand Whys?
Why can't everyone have access to education? Why can't everyone be free from hunger and cold? Why can't all the small states outside of the Great Qi be incorporated into the Great Qi's territory?
..........
There are countless examples like this.
Bombarded once again with countless "whys" from Changsui, Emperor Jingxuan's headache recurred, and he quickly summoned all his ministers to seek some peace and quiet.
In an instant, Asui was the only one left in the main hall. There was a small desk next to the imperial desk, and he sat cross-legged in front of the desk, reading a book seriously.
Suddenly, a shadow fell before my eyes, followed by an angry question: "Why are you here?!"
