When he opened his eyes, he saw a woman in red, blocking him behind her, with her hands on her waist, confronting the minister in front of her. She seemed to be angry, with red cheeks. Pei Lu looked at her and actually found her unreasonable and unforgiving look very cute.
She lowered her head, tears rolling down the corners of her eyes. She quietly raised her hand to touch her face and continued to speak fiercely to the minister in front of her.
Did they...bully her to tears?
What are these ministers here for?
Oh, yes, they wanted him to purge the court and kill the stupid woman in front of him.
"I've already said that His Majesty needs to rest. There's been a lot going on in the palace lately. Can't he just rest well?"
"He's not your man, and you don't know how to feel sorry for him. All of you, get out of here!"
"Whoever disturbs your majesty's rest will be beheaded by me!"
She was babbling, and the words suddenly became clear.
She was spoiled and overbearing, but everything she said was for his own good.
"Ahem."
He half covered his lips, coughed twice, and his face did not look very good.
"Sanlang?"
Gu Yunchu wiped away another tear of grievance and threw herself into his arms: "Sanlang, you finally woke up. I was so scared... The doctor said you fainted suddenly..."
"Thank goodness you're okay..."
Her voice was tearful, and Pei Lu couldn't be sure at first whether it was because she had just been upset in front of the minister or because she was really worried about him.
But……
When she saw him wake up, the first thing she did was probably to be glad that he was okay. He had originally thought that she would come to him to complain.
Prime Minister Lin snorted coldly: "Now that His Majesty is awake, let's discuss how to deal with this evil concubine who has brought disaster to the country!"
Prime Minister Lin's beard moved up and down, as if he was going to die here if he didn't give him an explanation.
"Prime Minister Lin is such a joke! His own daughter died in this palace without any ability, and he expects her father to vent his anger for her!"
She waved her hand with a look of contempt: "What a pity! The dead cannot be resurrected!"
!!!
Prime Minister Lin pointed his finger at Gu Yunchu, his hand shaking constantly. His eyes rolled back and he fainted from anger.
Gu Yunchu laughed and said, "You should retire and return home sooner rather than later. Don't think of reaching out to the harem when you have nothing to do in the court. This harem is my world!"
Pei Lu waved his hands irritably. "The Queen's matter was my negligence. Concubine Rou escaped from the cold palace while she was unconscious, which led to the tragedy. Concubine Rou is already dead, so it can be regarded as a life for a life. My dear ministers, please leave!"
The ministers looked at each other, and then at Gu Yunchu at the same time. The woman nodded, and then the ministers lowered their heads and went out.
Gu Yunchu sighed, "Sanlang, have a good rest. I will come to see you another day."
She seemed genuinely afraid of disturbing him.
Pei Lu's lips moved, but he couldn't say anything. It wasn't until the woman opened the door that he said in a calm voice, "Chu'er, if one day they really force me to kill you..."
Gu Yunchu turned around and smiled frankly: "If that day really comes, Sanlang, please remember to let me die beautifully. I don't want to be a hanged ghost, because I will roll my eyes and stick out my tongue, which is too ugly."
She paused, then suddenly closed the door. Instantly, a cold wind blew into Pei Lu's sleeves. He heard Gu Yunchu continue, "Don't give me poisoned wine and then lock me up in the palace and burn me alive... I'm afraid of pain, Your Majesty should remember that, right?"
The original owner was given poisoned wine by Pei Lu and then locked up in the palace and burned to death.
When she was burned to death, he was holding An Ning, supporting her belly, and watching with a gloating look...
Pei Lu nodded. He knew that Gu Yunchu was afraid of pain...
However, even he felt that giving someone poisoned wine and then burning them alive was too cruel.
As soon as Gu Yunchu left, a eunuch came up and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to stay in Fanghua Palace tonight?"
Pei Lu was stunned. Fanghua Palace... Thinking of An Ning's attitude today, for some reason, he felt a sense of resistance in his heart.
But An Ning is pregnant, and that's when she needs company the most.
"Let's go to Fanghua Palace."
Pei Lu came to Fanghua Palace. An Ning was holding sour dates in her hand, and a palace maid was kneeling beside her. From a distance, one could see that the palace maid's body was trembling.
The eunuch next to him wanted to report it, but was stopped by Pei Lu.
An Ning looked at the sour dates in her hand and felt a toothache, but she made up her mind, bit the sour dates open, licked them with the tip of her tongue, and her whole face wrinkled.
Doesn’t An Ning like sour food the most?
At this moment, two eunuchs were sweeping the yard, gossiping non-stop: "Xiao Dezi, you weren't on duty here during the day. Do you know Sister Tao'er who was transferred here a few days ago?"
The eunuch named Xiao Dezi shook his head, and the eunuch just now whispered: "You may not know, but His Majesty came here today, but the Empress said that His Majesty had a strange smell!"
"His Majesty asked Sister Tao'er to smell it, but something happened in the dungeon, so His Majesty left!"
"After she left, the Empress thought it was Sister Tao'er who seduced Your Majesty, so she had her nose cut off! She died of the pain!"
"You don't know how miserable I was!"
Pei Lu hid himself in the dark. What did these two eunuchs say?
Nose…nose punishment?!
An Ning carried out the punishment of cutting off the nose of that palace maid?!
She...why would she use such a punishment?!
He walked over and asked sternly, "What did you say?!"
The two eunuchs threw the brooms in their hands to the ground when they saw this. "Long live His Majesty! I was blind just now and didn't..."
"I ask you, what did you just say?!"
This commotion naturally alarmed the people inside the house. An Ning hurriedly responded and tried to calm Pei Lu down: "Alu? Why are you here? Are these two servants making Alu unhappy?"
Pei Lu lowered his head and smiled suddenly. He stared at An Ning motionlessly: "Yes, they have offended me. Ning'er, how do you want to punish them?"
An Ning took a step back and felt that the smell that made her feel nauseous during the day was coming back again.
"After all, they have served me for a long time. A-lu, please show some leniency and give them two slaps!"
Pei Lu looked at the woman with her round eyes and innocent expression. He didn't know why she left, and a chill ran through his heart.
"Just give him two smacks?"
So the palace maid was subjected to the punishment of cutting off the nose and died of pain simply for smelling his clothes?!
But shouldn't An Ning be pure, kind, gentle and generous?
"Ning'er, where is the maid who smelled my clothes in your palace today?"
