Jian Yang sneered.
The people around her were either Prince Chen's close attendants or Consort Yu's people. Even if she asked, none of them would dare to tell the truth.
Why would she go to all that trouble?
Besides, it was the emperor who was cuckolded, not her.
She just wanted to deflate Consort Yu's arrogance!
She couldn't care less about such trivial matters.
Not to mention that men have always valued their reputation. If she were to expose this, that dog of an emperor might just have her beheaded too.
Jian Yang had no intention of wasting any more breath on these two and turned to leave.
As soon as I took a step, I felt my foot trip!
He instantly lost his balance and fell straight forward!
The next moment, Jian Yang fell into Chen Wang's arms.
"How dare you!"
She immediately shouted sternly.
Prince Chen, however, remained unfazed, holding her tightly and saying, "Your Majesty, the roads here are full of pebbles, so you must be careful where you step."
Jian Yang gritted her teeth. Wasn't this King Chen just talking nonsense?
She clearly felt someone trip her before she fell!
At that time, only Prince Chen was standing closest to her.
So it must have been this guy who did it.
And here you are, pretending to be a good person!
"Let go!" Jian Yang gritted her teeth.
Prince Chen remained unmoved: "In such hot weather, why does the Empress cover her face so thoroughly?"
As he spoke, he reached out to remove her silk scarf.
This is intolerable!
Even if she weren't the empress, she couldn't tolerate such thuggish behavior!
Jian Yang was truly furious!
The next moment, before anyone could see what had happened, Prince Chen, who had been flirting with the Empress, froze.
Immediately afterwards, he released his grip on her.
Then, Chen Wang, who always paid attention to his image, started scratching his itch in public!
After scratching his arms, he scratched his face...
After scratching his chest, he started scratching his thighs!
Not satisfied with scratching it himself, he casually pointed to a young eunuch, his tone tinged with impatience, "Quickly scratch my back!"
Consort Yu was both surprised and worried, and seemed very eager to help.
But with Jian Yang present, he could only blink his teary eyes and dare not go forward.
The scene was utter chaos!
Jian Yang snorted coldly, finished his business, and left, concealing his merits and fame.
How dare they bully her! This is the price they'll pay!
It's just a pity about her bottle of excellent itching medicine...
Upon returning from the Imperial Hospital, Jian Yang immediately asked Lian Xia to brew medicine for him.
An hour later, the red marks on her body finally faded, and her skin returned to its former smooth and delicate state.
She looked absolutely gorgeous, and in her happiness, she even ate two extra bowls of rice at lunchtime.
Just as she lay on the chaise longue, dozing off to digest her food, the eunuch guarding the gate suddenly rushed in to announce her arrival—
The emperor has arrived at the door!
"Why is he here again?!" Jian Yang was speechless, making no attempt to hide her annoyance with the emperor.
Startled, Lianxia quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth, saying, "Your Majesty, you mustn't say such things!"
Rolling her eyes, Jian Yang thought to herself, "Why can't I say that? What employee wants their boss to come and inspect their work every day?"
She was lucky she didn't kick that dog emperor out with a big stick.
My good mood at noon was completely swept away.
Jian Yang, supporting her belly, reluctantly got off the chaise lounge.
Prepare to pay respects to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, you may dispense with the formalities."
Before she could even bow, the emperor appeared before her like a bright yellow hurricane.
A shrewd glint flashed in Jian Yang's eyes.
She blinked and saw that the emperor looked worried. With the obsequious spirit of a subordinate concerned for their superior, she asked curiously, "Is Your Majesty facing some trouble?"
The emperor did not hide anything and nodded, informing her of the sudden illness of Prince Chen.
"The imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy have all gone to examine Prince Chen, but none of them can cure him! I thought of asking the Empress to go and treat Prince Chen."
"I'm not going!"
Jian Yang refused him decisively before he could finish speaking.
She even forgot to add the words "your humble servant"!
The emperor was caught off guard by her attitude and was completely bewildered.
Jian Yang, noticing this carefully, feared that her resistance might be too strong and that the emperor would see through her, so she quickly said, "Your Majesty, I cannot go! Prince Chen is a subject, and I am the Empress. How can I condescend to go and treat his illness?"
"Empress!" The Emperor frowned deeply upon hearing this. "Although Prince Chen is a subject, he is also my elder brother. How can I stand idly by when my blood relative is in trouble?"
Jian Yang gave him a meaningful look.
"Your Majesty, examining a patient requires close contact. Prince Chen is a man and may not care, but I am a woman. If I am slandered on this basis in the future, how will I have the face to live in this world?"
The emperor suddenly realized.
It turns out that Jian Yang's reluctance to take Chen Wang's pulse was not due to her status, but rather because she was afraid of ruining her reputation!
As a woman, it's only natural to have such concerns.
He was initially somewhat displeased, but now he understood.
I even thought she was very sensible!
He immediately came up with a "good idea" for her.
"Empress, how about I have all the concubines accompany you?"
Jian Yang's eyes widened immediately.
She had initially thought her excuse was flawless.
Who knew that the dog emperor would rather drag all his wives down with him than let her go to treat Prince Chen's illness!
Really...
Awesome!
She was completely out of options now.
She couldn't very well tell the emperor that one of his concubines was having an affair with his brother.
Not only was he kept in the dark, but he also poured his heart and soul into trying to save his life.
What a complete and utterly innocent victim!
I have no idea how such a useless man became emperor.
