Danruo was afraid that Minister Su would make her wait too long, so after a simple wash, she entered the main hall. Minister Su was about to salute her, but Danruo stopped him in time and then dismissed all the palace servants.
While Minister Su was speaking caring words, he dipped his hand in tea and wrote on the table the words "Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall".
Dan Ruo praised in a low voice: "Father is really thoughtful."
Minister Su gestured and wrote, asking her if she was exposed.
The emperor is acting strangely today.
Dan Ruo shook her head. As for the emperor's strangeness, she could probably guess that he was the king of a country and did not trust her. He was afraid that if she exposed the news that he could turn into a wolf, it would trigger a coup.
She didn't intend to admit that it was him who had sex with her last night, but in order to make up for herself, she allowed herself to meet her father for comfort.
When Minister Su saw that his daughter was not exposed, he thought that the emperor might have believed that a child would be born this time because of the empress dowager's fortune.
So I was afraid of unexpected twists and turns and became overly worried. However, the emperor said that no one could die in the palace, so the original plan could not be used.
His original plan was to start drinking the medicine Wushang gave him as soon as he entered the palace. That medicine would make the symptoms resemble a cold, but it would become more and more serious and could lead to death. It could keep a person in suspended animation for seven days. As long as he could take his daughter home within seven days, it would be fine.
Now he just thought for a moment and came up with a new idea.
That is to let Madam Su pretend to be sick, and then he would ask the emperor for grace to let his daughter visit Madam Su. At that time, he would create an accident on the way and then let his daughter fake her death.
Dan Ruo saw that Minister Su's eyes were dark circles, and was afraid that he did not sleep well last night. Not wanting to make him worry anymore, she followed his wishes and asked him to be careful in everything. She asked Madam Su to prepare first, saying that it would take at least ten days or half a month for him to look like a serious illness.
After Minister Su left, everyone in the harem also received the news and was very envious. It was not easy to see one's family once they entered the deep palace.
Even though the highest-ranking person in the harem today is the Prime Minister's daughter, Concubine Dai, she can only see her family from afar at every palace banquet.
Now, after many years, there are three new people in the harem.
Rong Si is the younger sister of Bai Yueguang Rong Guiren. She was the first one to be favored and was arranged to live in the side hall of Concubine Shu. When Rong Si paid a visit to Concubine Shu today, her tail was almost raised.
Sudan Ying is the daughter of Minister Su. On the second day after she entered the palace, Minister Su came to visit her, which shows that she is very much loved by her family.
I heard from the palace maid who saw her yesterday that her appearance was even more stunning, and it seems she is also a serious threat.
As for Jia Hui, who was arranged to live in Ban Jieyu's side palace, she had no face and no power, so Concubine Shu did not take her seriously.
The next afternoon, the emperor turned over Danruo's card.
Danruo was helped to wash and dress by the palace servants early in the morning. The head maid Wang Ma saw that she was one in a million in beauty and had a good family background. She was not talkative, so she revealed to her some of her thoughts on the emperor's sexual preferences.
The emperor loves quietness and doesn't like people shouting.
Danruo offered a reward, but Nanny Wang declined it, as she just wanted to curry favor with the beauty.
As for money, she had no shortage of gifts from the palace maids. After all, the emperor only entered the harem once in a long time, and the opportunity was rare, so the palace maids were all scrambling to ask her for information.
Danruo changed into a pink silk dress and waited for Gu Chengzuo's arrival.
Gu Chengzuo was so excited that he kept recalling the details of yesterday, fearing that it was all just an empty dream. So he couldn't wait to return to the bedroom before bedtime.
Seeing that Zhao Quan had prepared wine as usual, he asked Zhao Quan to remove the wine, and then strode into the side hall.
The room was quiet. Danruo was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, with a melancholy look between her brows, making people want to hug her and comfort her.
Gu Chengzuo cleared his throat, and Danruo reacted. She saluted first, but Gu Chengzuo asked her not to. She did not stand up, but lowered her head with tears in her eyes and said loudly:
"I am guilty and dare not stand up."
Gu Chengzuo watched her tears fall to the ground like pearls.
Of course he knew why the woman in front of him was like this.
Because he had blindfolded her yesterday, he didn't know it was him. Today was supposed to be her first time to sleep with him, and the female official was supposed to check her menstrual period. Rong Si's menstrual period was the chicken blood prepared by the female official in advance.
He helped Danruo up and made his voice brighter to distinguish it from the low and hoarse voice he pretended to have last night.
"I already know what happened last night. I failed to manage the palace guards well, and some scoundrels got in and hurt you. I don't care, and I hope you don't care either."
Dan Ruo lowered her eyes and stared at her toes, and will play the role with you to the end.
She said with a touch of sadness in her gratitude: "Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty, but I am no longer a virgin. I dare not serve you. From now on, I will just stay in the palace and enjoy the quiet life."
Gu Chengzuo didn't expect her to be so pedantic. He said in a domineering manner, "I don't care about these things. I just want a child, even if it's with a remarried woman. All you need is that the child is mine."
