Chapter 313 What is coming finally comes
When Shen Heng arrived at the palace, it was already dark.
The red walls and golden tiles, with a sky full of falling snow, make the majestic and magnificent imperial palace look heavy and mysterious.
Chen Heng had never expected that the eunuch brought her to the emperor's bedroom. The bedroom was not the harem, but the outer palace. Outside the palace, there were imperial guards everywhere.
As soon as she entered the hall, the scent of ambergris filled her nose. She didn't like this scent, but it was only a little better and more subtle than the incense in modern temples.
There was no one else in the inner hall except Xie Jian, Lu Ji'an, three witch doctors, and several personal servants.
Chen Heng bowed to the Master, and seeing Xie Jian's heavy expression, her heart skipped a beat. Then she looked at the three witch doctors' dejected expressions, and a bad premonition grew in her heart.
"Thank you, Madam. You are here. The emperor is waiting for you inside." said the great witch doctor.
As for the matter of Zhuyoushu, Lu Ji'an had already learned about it from Xie Jian. He never thought that there was such a fate between the emperor and Shen Hengyu. No wonder Xie Jian always had a dark face when he talked about Zhuyoushu.
"Ajian, what's the matter with calling me here?" Chen Heng asked.
"The emperor wants to see you. No matter what he says, as long as you don't like it or don't want to, I can take you away at any time." If it weren't for the teacher's persuasion, he would never agree to let Liu Yu see Aheng.
Shen Heng nodded.
Inner Temple.
Liu Yu was lying on the bed. He had lost a lot of weight, and his face didn't look so pale under the warm candlelight in the hall. He heard the voice, opened his eyes, and saw the woman walk in. She seemed to be somewhat disgusted with this place, with her lips tightly pursed.
Shen Heng bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, your humble servant greets you."
"Your Majesty, my wife is here." Xie Jian said, "If you have anything to say, please speak."
"You are here, what can I say?" Liu Yu's weak voice showed that he was very weak.
Xie Jian's face darkened and he clenched his fists hanging by his sides.
Seeing that Liu Yu had come to this place and was still angry with Xie Jian, Shen Heng said, "Your Majesty, Jian is my husband. Husband and wife are one. Your Majesty, please tell me whatever you want to say."
Liu Yu snorted coldly, which suddenly made him cough. He didn't know if it was because he couldn't catch his breath, but his face turned terribly pale.
Three witch doctors hurried over, and one of them fed them half a bowl of herbs, and said to Xie Jian and Shen Heng, "Prime Minister Xie, Madam Xie, you must not make the emperor angry." He was about to die, but he really did.
Seeing that Liu Yu had stopped coughing, the three of them left.
Xie Jian looked at Liu Yu coldly for a while, then said to Chen Heng, "Heng, I'll be outside."
"Um."
As soon as Xie Jian left, he saw Liu Yu's mouth slightly raised, looking at Chen Heng with a triumphant look.
"Did you do this on purpose?" Shen Heng knew it as soon as she saw his smile.
"This trick always works on Xie Jian. I didn't expect that he hopes I live a long life so much. Help me sit up." Liu Yu ordered.
