This is so strange!
How could a concubine know the secrets of Linwuhou Mansion?
Yuwen Lan looked at Yan Shu in surprise.
Because he was so shocked, he forgot to restrain himself, and his gaze was too direct and lasted for a long time.
He just stared at Yan Shu, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, why did this person keep staring at her?
Of course, no one else knew why he was staring at her except Yuwen Lan himself.
However, everyone in the palace had seen it. The Queen Mother
suddenly said to Yan Shu, "You have been out for quite a while, go back and rest early, I will have a few words with His Majesty."
Yan Shu was as if she had been pardoned, and hurriedly saluted to the two of them, "Your servant will take your leave."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and walked out of the palace, as obedient as the flowers and grass in the flowerbed in the courtyard.
But Yuwen Lan knew that she was not some little flower or grass.
He watched her walk out of the hall and the cotton curtains in the hall were closed again. He reluctantly retracted his gaze, but his mind was still in shock.
What's the matter with this woman?
"It is often said that it is difficult for an honest official to settle family affairs," the
queen mother said, "Your Majesty does not need to worry too much about the affairs of Linwuhou Mansion. If those two really can't get along, let them get divorced."
Yuwen Lan came back to his senses, "Your Majesty is right, and I plan to do the same." The queen mother
smiled, "It's getting late, Your Majesty, do you want to stay for dinner?"
Yuwen Lan hurriedly said no, "There are still a few memorials in the study, and I will not disturb you, mother."
After speaking, he got up and walked out of the hall.
The palace was quiet. The Queen Mother stood up and moved to the west window. The female official Zhu Shu followed and served her. She said, "Your Majesty seems to be a little different to Lady Li..." The
Queen Mother smiled and said, "Your Majesty is old enough to have an heir."
Zhu Shu agreed and dared not say anything else.
But the Queen Mother said, "Be careful with your mouth. Don't spread the things in my palace."
Everyone in the palace hurriedly agreed.
~~
After returning from Ci'an Palace, it was only more than an hour, and it was already dark.
He hurriedly reviewed a few memorials and had no intention of having dinner. When it was late at night, Yuwen Lan lay on the wide dragon bed, not wanting to sleep at all.
He thought about it for half an afternoon and a night, but still couldn't figure it out.
——Since she is Li Yanshu herself, and there is nothing unusual about the Li family, how can she know so many things that ordinary people don't know?
You know, she has been in the palace for three years and has never been out. How could she know the secrets of the ministers' families that even he, the emperor, doesn't know?
Could it be... that Yongning Palace has some secrets?
Since he was a child, Yuwen Lan has been accustomed to all kinds of storms and strange things, but he just can't figure out this one thing, so he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Seeing the time pass by little by little, the palace was already silent.
He simply got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and left the Qianming Palace.
~~
Soon, Yuwen Lan had arrived at Yongning Palace.
Standing on the roof of the palace, she gently lifted a piece of glazed tile and looked down quietly. She saw the woman sitting in front of the mirror and talking to the maid.
Ren Dong was still excited. "Your Majesty talked to you so much today. No other master in the palace has ever talked to you. He must be attracted to you!"
Yu Wenlan had seen many people who were self-indulgent, but he was calm.
Yan Shu sighed, "You don't understand. He won't be attracted to me."
Ren Dong thought she was being humble and smiled, "You are so beautiful, and His Majesty is also in his prime. Why can't he be attracted to you? Isn't there a saying that goes 'Whatever woman wants, she will be attracted to her'?"
Yan Shu didn't say anything, but sighed in her heart.
[…That young and energetic gentleman is not a normal man. It's useless for her to be beautiful!
Someone on the rooftop's eyebrows jumped, and he tried to calm himself down. However
, this woman didn't even tell the maids close to her. Does it mean that this secret is only known to her?
In the palace, Yan Shu sighed again, "Not only will His Majesty not like me, I'm afraid it will bring bad things."
The harem is full of wolves, all of them are hungry. If they knew that the emperor had talked to this little beauty today, they would rush over to eat her!
The kind that won't even spit out the bones!!!
Ren Dong was dissatisfied, "Anyway, it was the Queen Mother who asked you to go today, and you didn't deliberately move forward."
Yan Shu rolled her eyes in the mirror, "Why do they care if I moved forward on my own?"
That's true.
Honeysuckle had nothing to say, so she asked again, "Why did the Queen Mother suddenly ask you to leave?"
Yan Shu said, "Maybe she doesn't want His Majesty to talk to women other than her niece?"
Honeysuckle said again, "Then why did the Queen Mother ask you to go? Really."
Yan Shu also frowned, "That's right."
First, the Queen Mother summoned her for the first time, and then the Emperor suddenly showed up...
What are these two people up to? She
really couldn't figure it out, so she decided to summon the system first, [Everyone, if anyone wants to harm me again, you must tell me in advance.]
The system, [No problem.]
Yan Shu pondered in her heart again, being so trembling with fear of revenge is not a long-term solution after all, or she should plan early.
I wonder if there is still hope to leave the palace and become an ordinary person?
Someone on the roof raised an eyebrow, want to run?
At this moment, several palace maids worked together to carry a bathtub into the room, and then poured hot water into the tubs. Instantly, hot mist filled the air.
——Yongning Palace is small, and unlike the big palaces, it doesn't have a floor heating. Only the main room is relatively warm. Yan Shu can only take a bath like
this in winter. Her hair had just been undone, and she quickly undressed while taking advantage of the heat.
Yuwen Lan turned his head subconsciously.
However, he still caught a glimpse of her true appearance.
The white snow covered the vast mountains and rivers, and there were red plum blossoms on the peaks, which were pleasing to the eyes.
He couldn't help but think - she eats so much every day, but her waist and body are so delicate, as if they can be held in the palm of your hand?
...
Ever since he lost that ability, he has deliberately excluded women, and this is the first time he has seen such a scene.
In the room, the girl dived into the water like a fish.
He whispered in his mouth, "It's so cold!"
Yu Wenlan raised his eyebrows. He didn't feel cold in the cold wind, how cold could she be in the hot water?
Yan Shu was really a little cold.
In addition to the fact that the weather was really cold today, she also felt that there was cold air constantly seeping into the room.
She said to herself, "Why does it seem like there is a draft somewhere?" As she spoke, she began to look around here.
Just as she was about to look up at the roof, Yuwen Lan dodged.
In fact, there was only a small gap, and she could not find anything. But for some reason, he suddenly felt guilty.
Not long after, he flew to the ground and left.
Shaoqing, Yan Shu quickly took a shower, dried her body, put on pajamas, and quickly got into the quilt.
Rendong ordered the palace maids to come in and carry the bathtub. She heard her ask in the quilt, "Why do I feel cold? Ask someone to check tomorrow to see if there is a leak somewhere."
Rendong replied, "Okay, I'll ask Xiaodongzi to check tomorrow morning. You go to bed first."
Then he stuffed two hot water bottles into her quilt and closed the bed curtains.
It was most comfortable after taking a bath, so Yan Shu fell asleep with the hot soup. When
Yuwen Lan returned to the bedroom, it was already past midnight. He
had to attend the court tomorrow, and if he didn't sleep now, he would not be able to sleep tonight.
However, when he closed his eyes, his mind was full of the scene just now.
It made him toss and turn, making it even more difficult to fall asleep.
~~
Yan Shu slept well all night, and when she woke up the next day, Rendong had asked Xiaodongzi to climb to the roof to take a look.
However, after checking, nothing unusual was found.
Rendong laughed at her, "My master, you live in the palace, not a thatched cottage, so there is no leak."
Yan Shu had nothing to say, but she still felt something was wrong. When she took a bath last night, she felt that there was a cold air in the room.
The system dinged, [Someone peeked at you last night. 】
Yan Shu was stunned, [What? Someone is peeping at me???]
System, [That's absolutely right.]
Yan Shu was full of questions, [Why didn't you tell me earlier?]
System, [You didn't ask this system last night either.]
Yan Shu was almost vomiting blood, [You won't tell me if I don't ask you? Didn't you agree to tell me in advance if there is any danger? ! ! ]
System, [It's not dangerous, thank you.]
Yan Shu, [??? Is it not dangerous to be peeped at?]
System, [It's just a peek, and you won't lose any meat. I won't say anything more, this system is taking a rest today.]
Yan Shu, [??? Hey, are you still taking a rest here? ! ! ]
However, no matter how she roared, the system didn't say a word.
Yan Shu vomited blood and had to figure it out on her own -
the system said there was no danger, could it be that the one who peeped at her was a eunuch?
Oh... that's disgusting!
However, there was no evidence, everything was just speculation, and it was not easy to make it public.
After thinking about it, she could only be careful.
~~
A busy day passed quickly, and it was night again in a blink of an eye.
In the dead of night, Yuwen Lan left the bedroom again.
He would definitely not be able to sleep tonight if the mystery was not solved, so he simply came to investigate again.
However, the girl seemed to have learned her lesson today, and sent the little eunuch to check around the courtyard.
He couldn't go to the roof again, so he slipped into the hall when no one was paying attention.
At that time, Yan Shu was waiting for an opportunity in the bed curtain.
She thought about it for a day and decided to catch the thief herself tonight.
So she went to bed early tonight, but she was reluctant
to close her eyes, concentrating all her efforts to listen for any movement. She was getting sleepy and her eyelids could not help but droop. Suddenly, she heard a faint sound of footsteps outside the tent.
She was startled and immediately got out of bed with a wooden stick. She
quietly hid by the door, and when the footsteps came closer, she raised the wooden stick and was about to hit.
However, before she succeeded, her arm was grabbed.
She was stunned and wanted to shout immediately, but when she opened her mouth, it was covered again.
The other party seemed to be tall, holding her arm with one hand and covering her mouth with the other hand, leaving her with no choice.
But Yan Shu could not give in. She twisted her body hard in an attempt to break free.
The soft body with a warm fragrance, like a fish fluttering in his arms, Yuwen Lan instinctively increased his strength, but the scene he saw last night appeared in his mind at an inappropriate time.
Just as he was distracted, his palm suddenly felt painful, and he hurriedly came back to his senses, only then did he realize that the girl was biting him.
The author has something to say:
Yan Shu: Bite this pervert to death!
A certain emperor: It was me!!!
Yan Shu: Bite this dog emperor to death!
A certain emperor: ???
