“Hmm…”
The blushing sobs made the face of the little palace maid who was keeping watch in Changchun Palace red as blood. Even with her head lowered, she didn't know where to look.
The emperor seemed to have tasted something different.
These days, he almost wanted to tie Lin Chunhuan to his belt, and even had memorials that needed approval sent directly to Changchun Palace.
If women were not prohibited from entering the court, Lin Chunhuan would have thought that the emperor wanted to carry her to court!
After several days of tossing and turning, the result was that even though the good things in the treasure bag had improved her physical fitness, she still felt back pain every day when she got up.
"The Prince Regent is returning to the capital to report on his duties today. I'm afraid he'll be delayed for a while." Grabbing the little hand that was buttoning her clothes, he held it in his palm, rubbing it carefully as if holding a treasure. The emperor sighed softly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for lunch."
Lin Chunhuan smiled with her lips pursed, and it took some effort to prevent herself from laughing out loud.
It’s better not to come!
God knows how many days it has been since she had a good night's sleep!
Of course, I just had to be happy about this matter, but I couldn't show it at all. "Is that so..."
He tried to make his tone appear calm, but it seemed he couldn't hide the disappointment in it. "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, so of course he must prioritize state affairs, although..."
"But it doesn't matter. I am already very happy to be waiting for you in Changchun Palace."
She raised her head, her bright eyes filled with smiles.
Although he had seen this face many times, every time he glanced at it unintentionally, the emperor would still hold his breath and wish he could rub the person in front of him into his own bones and blood!
Sensing movement somewhere, the emperor took a deep breath and suppressed it.
The Regent is not an easy person to deal with.
Now that Ah Huan is in the palace, the outside world doesn't seem to have such a strong temptation to the emperor anymore. Sometimes he even feels a little uneasy.
If he were no longer the emperor, then his Ah Huan...
As soon as this idea emerged, it was completely suppressed by the emperor.
He couldn't stand those people even looking at Ah Huan, so how could he accept Ah Huan becoming someone else's!
He didn't care much about the throne in the past, but now he cherishes this status.
Lin Chunhuan was only thinking about getting some sleep today, and was very happy. He didn't notice the emperor's mental activities in this short moment at all.
Of course, she didn't know enough about the emperor yet, so she naturally wouldn't have expected that the man in front of her would decide whether to become the emperor or not, all because of a woman.
It used to be Afu, now it’s her.
Although the results are different, the properties are exactly the same!
The person in front of me has never taken the people under his rule seriously!
The Regent is ruthless and brutal, but in this respect, he is a million times stronger than this so-called Buddhist emperor.
At least... the Regent is indeed working diligently to do practical things and seek benefits for the people.
After being affectionate for a while, the emperor finally walked out of the gate of Changchun Palace reluctantly.
"My lady, may I wait on you for a while?"
Chunyu walked forward. She had already figured out Lin Chunhuan's preferences over the past few days, and she could basically hit the nail on the head whenever she opened her mouth.
What's more, Lin Chunhuan was really exhausted, and he didn't know why the emperor had so much energy. He simply nodded and prepared to lie down.
I was already feeling sleepy, and soon after I lay down, my consciousness became blurry.
"My Queen...My Queen, something's wrong!"
Suddenly there was a loud bang, which scared Lin Chunhuan. He turned around and saw Zhizi rushing in in a hurry.
"Sister Gardenia! The imperial concubine is still resting. How can you break in like this?" Chunyu frowned and was about to ask someone to take Gardenia away.
Wait until the master has rested before taking any action.
But before those people could make a move, Zhizi's tears started to flow, "Your Majesty, Concubine Sun...she jumped into the lake!"
There were a lot of people standing by the Jingyue Lake.
When Lin Chunhuan arrived, the emperor and the empress had already arrived, and Concubine Shu was standing aside with her nose covered, looking disgusted.
Several guards were paddling a boat in the lake to salvage the body of Concubine Sun. The person who was still alive a few days ago was now floating stiffly on the water with her long hair scattered, like a water ghost!
After just one glance, Lin Chunhuan looked away uncomfortably.
After all, it was a palace concubine who died, and the emperor was called here without even attending the morning court. With such an unlucky thing happening, everyone present looked unhappy and the atmosphere was particularly solemn.
But even so, the necessary etiquette should still be performed.
But before Lin Chunhuan even got close, the emperor had already seen her. Not only did he take the initiative to greet her, he also covered her eyes with his hands, "Ah Huan, don't look."
"You are timid to begin with, and you are worried about having nightmares again at night."
Is she... timid? How come she doesn't even know it?
"Concubine Zhengui is truly blessed to have the Emperor dote on her so wholeheartedly. We sisters can't even hope for such a blessing. Your Majesty, what do you think?"
The Queen raised her eyes to look at Concubine Shu, frowning unhappily, "What kind of occasion is this?"
"The dead are the greatest, yet everyone is still jealous. How disgraceful!"
Concubine Shu's expression changed slightly. Although she was reluctant, she still responded, "Yes, I know I was wrong."
Although she did not defend anyone openly, she rubbed Concubine Shu's face in the face, which in itself was a form of protection. Because of this sentence, the emperor looked at the queen with appreciation.
The corner of her eyes passed over Lin Chunhuan's slender waist without stopping for a moment. The queen suppressed the crazy jealousy in her eyes very well.
How ridiculous! She had been standing at Jingyue Lake for such a long time, but the emperor had never even looked at her. The first glance he gave her was just because she defended that woman!
"Zhou Guifei has only been in the palace for a short time and hasn't adapted yet. Shu Fei, you are an elder in the palace and you should help out more."
The emperor nodded slightly, "The Queen has always been fair in her dealings. Concubine Shu should learn from her."
Everyone pointed the finger at Concubine Shu, but she did not hate any of those who spoke. Her resentful gaze fell on Lin Chunhuan, who had not said a word from beginning to end.
People have always been sensitive to gazes.
What's more, Concubine Shu had no intention of avoiding her at all. Lin Chunhuan chuckled and took away the emperor's hand that was covering her eyes and held it in her palm.
Although his eyes were clearly looking at the emperor's palm lines, he felt confused in his heart.
These women in the harem...how pathetic.
What's even more tragic is that she was one of them, and she used every means to win favor, and she was no nobler than any of them.
While they were talking, Lady Sun's body had already been salvaged.
Her eyebrows and eyes had been deformed and distorted by the soaking, and only a glimpse of her once delicate features could be seen. "Your Majesty, there are traces of slipping beside Mirror Moon Lake, and there are only footprints of Concubine Sun."
