Chapter 52: Beautiful Daughter vs. Heirless Emperor
Inside Shuhua Palace.
Ji Yunhuan yawned and put down the account book in her hand. "Let's go. I'm tired too."
Huipin immediately stood up and took everyone else to leave, and the hall soon became empty.
Tao Hong immediately went over to support Ji Yunhuan, "Your Majesty, aren't you going to wait for His Majesty today?"
"Today is the first day of the lunar year. Your Majesty will definitely go to Jingren Palace. Although Your Majesty will not stay in Jingren Palace, for the sake of the Empress' dignity, he will not stay with other concubines. He will probably stay in Qianqing Palace."
Ji Yunhuan pressed his aching waist and moved out slowly. Just as he reached the door of the bedroom, he heard someone coming from Jingren Palace.
A young palace maid came forward to greet him and said eloquently, "The Empress sent me to tell the Imperial Concubine that His Majesty has already gone to bed in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. She asked the Imperial Concubine to go to bed early and not wait any longer."
Ji Yunhuan's expression did not change, and he signaled Taohong to take out the reward money to reward her.
Tao Hong was not happy in her heart, but she smiled, "It's hard for you to make this trip, here are some silver coins, take them and play with them."
The little palace maid smiled happily, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for the reward, and thank you, sister. They also said that this was not an easy job, and they kept making excuses, so it fell on me."
"I have seen the Imperial Concubine from afar several times and I think she is a kind person. It turns out that she is a kind person. If you pass on a message, you will get a reward."
Taohong asked a few questions calmly, and the little palace maid was not on guard and answered every question.
After sending the maid away, the smile on Tao Hong's face disappeared, and she said angrily: "The Queen's body is not able to serve Your Majesty at all, so she can only send people to Your Majesty's bed. She dares to send any cats and dogs, and she doesn't even think it's disgusting!"
"She was just acting during the day to deceive us, just to make us let down our guard. Your Majesty, you want to give her face, but she won't give you any face at all. If it wasn't for her instructions, would Zhou Ling'er dare to say that?"
Ji Yunhuan was very calm, "It's not the first time that the Queen has sent someone to His Majesty. The former Huipin rose to prominence in the same way."
"Even if it's for the Queen Mother's sake, Your Majesty has to give the Queen some face. Zhou Ling'er is a little stupid, but it's precisely because of her stupidity that she's easy to control."
Tao Hong became even angrier. "How can that idiot compare to Concubine Hui? She has no status or position, so why should she serve His Majesty? If everyone behaves like this, wouldn't the harem be in chaos?"
"Your Highness, you are in charge of the six palaces. You can't just sit there and watch. Let's go to Jingren Palace and take His Majesty back!"
The sedan chair was ready and parked in front of the gate of Shuhua Palace. When the cold night wind blew, Ji Yunhuan's drowsy head instantly became much clearer.
"Forget it, let's all go back. His Majesty won't be here tonight, and you can get a good night's sleep."
A group of palace maids and eunuchs knelt down, and Tao Hong became anxious, "Madam, are we really going to just do nothing? Are we just going to watch that bitch climb onto the dragon bed?"
Ji Yunhuan turned around and walked towards the bedroom. Taohong stomped her feet and followed him.
Ji Yunhuan thought more deeply and further. This time, going there would undoubtedly mean a break with the Queen. She would indeed win and be able to get His Majesty back. She still had the confidence in this.
His Majesty has feelings for her, his attitude towards the Queen is just for face, and his attitude towards Zhou Ling'er is at most for novelty.
But what will happen next? Do I have to be on guard against all the women in the palace?
After the two entered the house, Ji Yunhuan pinched Taohong's face and said with a smile: "That Zhou Ling'er is very stupid. The Queen is desperate and chose such a weirdo. In the future, let alone helping the Queen, the Queen will be implicated if something goes wrong."
"If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. Let them be. Anyway, no one can shake my position, so I have nothing to worry about."
Tao Hong carefully observed Ji Yunhuan's expression, "Then your Majesty, aren't you sad? His Majesty clearly said that he only favors you, how could he change his mind so quickly? I feel sorry for your Majesty."
"The Queen is busy with palace affairs during the day, and has to endure the pain of pregnancy. At night, she has to take time to sew purses and embroider nightgown for His Majesty. No matter how late it is, she waits for His Majesty to come back and go to bed. The Queen is devoted to him, how could he do this!"
Ji Yunhuan saw the half-sewn pajamas next to him. Just because he said he liked it, now all his pajamas are made by her.
"Don't even mention the emperor. There is no man in the world who won't change his mind. Instead of dwelling on these things, it's better to live your life well. Being jealous will only make people hate you."
"I'm tired. Take this nightgown away and bring it back to me when you're done. We both learned needlework from the same master, so it's almost the same anyway."
Taohong had wanted to do this for a long time. The queen's eyes were red from staying up late, and she felt heartbroken just looking at her.
"I will serve you to sleep. Your Majesty is right. With your status, it is really cheap to argue about these things. Whatever your Majesty does is right. I will obey your Majesty."
********
Inside Jingren Palace.
The emperor's blood was boiling, his body was extremely hot, and every drop of blood was clamoring to be released.
The soft body stuck to him, bringing him a hint of coolness, making him want more involuntarily.
"Huan'er~" The emperor hugged the person in front of him and took a deep breath. Suddenly his face changed and he pushed Zhou Ling'er away.
"You are not Huan'er! Who are you?" The emperor almost vomited, his stomach churning violently. This was not Huan'er's scent at all.
Zhou Ling'er's clothes were disheveled. She staggered back several steps and fell to the ground. She stood up unwillingly and pounced on the emperor again.
"Your Majesty, please take a good look at me. I am Huan'er. Come into the house with me. You will feel comfortable inside."
Liu Dewang shouted "Protect the emperor" and prepared to escort the emperor out of Jingren Palace. Two eunuchs appeared from nowhere, with great strength, and half-carried and half-dragged Liu Dewang away.
The scenery in front of him began to distort and deform, only Huan'er's face became clearer and clearer. It was obviously the same face, but the expression made him extremely disgusted.
The emperor realized that he had taken medicine. He had practiced martial arts for many years, and ordinary aphrodisiacs would not have such a great effect on him.
His hand touched the jade belt around his waist, and the thin gold ornaments cut his fingers. He used a lot of force, and blood came out, staining the dragon robe red.
The emperor shook his head and finally regained a bit of clarity. In front of him was a completely unfamiliar woman who deliberately imitated Huan'er's dress and demeanor. She was so pretentious and disgusting.
"Get lost!" The emperor kicked Zhou Ling'er away and shouted angrily, "Drag her away! Beat her to death!"
Zhou Ling'er felt as if her internal organs were all twisted together. She was in so much pain that she couldn't even stand up. She cried out loudly:
"No...no...Your Majesty, I am the cousin of the Empress, Your Majesty, you cannot kill me! I can also serve Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look, don't you like it very much? What Concubine Chun has, I also have!"
Zhou Ling'er tore at her clothes wildly and struggled and rolled on the ground, but it was all in vain. The palace guards who rushed in to protect the emperor had already dragged her out and beat her to death at the gate of Jingren Palace!
Liu Dewang also rushed over and knelt on the ground with a plop. "Your Majesty, you are bleeding a lot. Someone, call the imperial physician."
The emperor strode out and said in a cold voice: "Surround the Jingren Palace. No one is allowed to enter or leave until the matter is investigated."
He gave face to the Queen and rewarded her constantly on a daily basis. She came to visit on the first and fifteenth days of every month, and only Liu Dewang was with her. This gave the Queen an opportunity to plot against him!
The heat in his body was getting more and more intense, as if it was going to burn him to ashes. The emperor got on the dragon sedan chair and said in a cold voice, "Go to Shuhua Palace. I want to see Concubine Chun."
