Chapter 482
The Regent felt a slight pang in his heart, worried that his attitude had caused her to misunderstand again. He raised his eyelids and met her clear, almond-shaped eyes.
Wen Xin was stunned, because she actually saw that her somewhat old-fashioned and very restrained prince was now filled with passion and desire!
Huh?
Um, it's early in the morning. Are men prone to impulsiveness?
Wen Xin swore that she really didn't flirt with him this time, after all, she was still sick and not that thirsty... ugh, naughty.
Seeing him turn his head away in embarrassment and awkwardness, his pale earlobes turning bright red, Wen Xin blinked and added fuel to the fire by offering "comfort".
"Your Highness, well, this is only natural, you don't need to feel embarrassed."
I understand, truly!
Regent: "..."
The regent almost dropped the bowl in his hand and left the space where the atmosphere was indescribable.
But his young emperor was still ill, and he was older after all. The regent took a deep breath and brushed aside this crucial topic.
"Your Majesty, please rest a little longer and take your medicine in half an hour."
"good."
Wen Xin obediently shrank back into the covers, not daring to act any further, for fear of teasing her prince too much...
She believed that even if he was burning with lust, he would never actually do anything to her.
But if this goes on for too long, what will happen to Wen Xin's future happiness?
Who can Her Majesty the Empress turn to for sobs?
I'm saddened again by why she hasn't grown up yet.
If only I had a Moonlight Box.
Little Jin was speechless. Did Master want the Moonlight Box just to sleep with the Regent?
This is truly the most incompetent of all rulers!
Wen Xin: Food and sex are human nature, what does a silly butterfly know about peaches?
Xiao Jin: "..."
Forget it, let it go, lest it get beaten up again.
These days, butterflies that love to speak the truth can't survive, sigh!
...
Wen Xin stayed at Fenggan Palace until she recovered from her illness before moving back to Chaohuang Palace.
She does want to live with the Regent!
but……
Except for the second night when she was sick, he was worried that she would have a fever again in the middle of the night, so he slept in the same bedroom with her to keep an eye on her. However, he did not sleep in the same bed with her, but slept on a soft couch, keeping a safe distance.
After that, he lived in the side hall.
Wen Xin felt embarrassed to keep occupying his bedchamber; wasn't that bullying her future husband?
As a good wife, Her Majesty would not do such a despicable thing.
Moreover, if the news of the Empress and the Regent living together were to spread, who knows what kind of bloodshed it would cause?
Look at the present situation. Because of the palace closure that day, she didn't attend the morning court for many days afterward, and the people in the court gradually became restless.
The royalists clamored daily for an audience with the Empress, while the regent's faction eagerly awaited their master's leadership in a rebellion.
Everyone was filled with doubt and suspicion, believing that the Empress had been controlled and imprisoned by the Regent, and that the Regent was about to officially begin his rebellion.
Wen Xin then...
Stay calm, Your Majesty. Be dignified and elegant, and don't let your emotions show. Don't bother with a bunch of bumpkins.
But no, why do the civil and military officials keep saying that she is under house arrest or that the regent is going to rebel against her?
Can't we just hope she gets better?
Wen Xin felt that her body was so weak because she was angered by those big shots.
Therefore, as soon as she returned to the Chaohuang Palace, she ordered her men to bring all those royalists over here so that they could see: I am fine, very fine!
Stop spreading rumors about me!
Do you really think you can spread rumors without facing legal consequences?
The royalists' eyes reddened as soon as they saw the young empress, before Wen Xin could even begin to scold her.
Wen Xin: "..." Is this some kind of staged accident?
"Your Majesty, you have suffered so much!"
"How could the Regent be so rebellious as to torment you like this?"
"Your Majesty, how is your health?"
"Your Majesty, we are useless and have failed to protect you."
Wen Xin: Huh? Huh? Huh? ???
What are these silly roe deer imagining now?
Her lips twitched, and she suppressed the urge to punch these idiots. She calmly explained that she had been sick recently, which was why she looked a little thinner and her complexion was not good. She told them not to make a scene for her!
Unfortunately, those hillbillies just wouldn't listen. His Majesty must have been worried that the Regent would cause trouble again, so he made up this excuse.
Waaah, Your Majesty is suffering so much!
The Regent is such a treacherous minister!
They actually tortured and abused His Majesty!
Beast! Traitor!
Wen Xin: "..."
Seriously, do you guys even understand human language?
Forget it, otherwise why would we call them "mountain cannons"?
They all look like silly roe deer!
Get out of here! Just looking at you gives me a headache.
Do whatever you want!
Anyway, Wen Xin only made an appearance to calm things down in the court.
After the group of royalists left, Wen Xin, who was maintaining an empress's demeanor, rubbed her slender waist and slumped unceremoniously onto the phoenix chair.
Talking to a bunch of cunning old foxes pretending to be stupid is exhausting.
Granny Wan entered from outside, curtsied, and said, "Your Majesty, Commander Zhao requests an audience."
Wen Xin, who was just about to go home after get off work and relax in the inner palace, thought: "..." I don't want to see them, I just want to go on strike!
But then something suddenly occurred to her, and she could only listlessly continue operating, saying, "Pass it on."
"Your subordinate greets Your Majesty."
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wen Xin asked, "Has there been any unusual activity on Jiang Yanche's side?"
Commander Zhao stood up and reported, "His Highness the Regent has also entrusted Xu Ming with handling the matter of why the Third Princess of Nanyue was kidnapped and hidden behind the artificial hill..."
Although the Regent suspected Jiang Yanche, the young Empress wanted to investigate herself, so he did not interfere and let her take the lead.
It was obvious that he wanted to use Jiang Yanche as a practice subject for the young emperor, and of course, that prince completely indulged all her behavior.
Anyway, whatever happens, he'll be there to cover for you.
Your Majesty may do as you please.
Xu Ming was unaware that the young empress distrusted her, and Jiang Yanche repeatedly approached her under the guise of repaying a debt of gratitude.
The two quickly became lovers.
Yes, it's that kind of flirting with all those "mmm" and "ah" sounds!
However, every time Xu Ming reported to Commander Zhao, she kept saying that Jiang Yanche was not showing any abnormalities for the time being.
As for how he coincidentally appeared behind the artificial hill where His Majesty had stayed, he himself did not know, and said that he fainted after the Regent led people to search that day.
Within this palace, it seems there is only one person who could kidnap Jiang Yanche and bring him to Jiangshan right under the noses of the Imperial Guards, the Phoenix Guards, and the Moon Shadow Guards.
Of course, neither Jiang Yanche nor Xu Ming dared to directly point to the Regent; they merely expressed their doubts in a vague and ambiguous manner.
But emperors are often suspicious, and the regent holds immense power. What would the young empress think if she heard these words?
Commander Zhao's face was very unpleasant. As members of the Imperial Guard and the Empress's personal guards, they should have been most loyal to the Emperor, but what about Xu Ming?
Is that idiot really not afraid of death?
Not only did he commit adultery with the Third Princess of Nanyue, but he also attempted to sow discord between the Empress and the Regent?
