Dongfang Run was already unconscious at this moment, his eyes were tightly closed, his long eyelashes covered his eyes, trembling slightly, and his gentle breath hit Lou Wanyue's face. When Lou Wanyue was in a daze, the corners of her mouth twitched, and finally she fell into a dark sweetness...
At this moment, Concubine Shu, with anger on her face, broke into Concubine Xian's palace and said, "There is something that has reached my ears, and I have to speak out. You are also responsible for this matter."
Concubine Xian was shocked and said, "Sister, what happened?"
"You don't know yet? I thought you were in power in the six palaces, and you had sharp ears and eyes. Let me tell you, I just heard the servants talking about someone entering the Qingming Palace, a man and a woman. I didn't see them clearly, and regardless of whether the man and woman were true or not, the Qingming Palace is not a place that anyone can go to. What are they hiding there for in broad daylight? Besides, the palace has strict rules. Even eunuchs and palace maids are not allowed to give or receive things privately. What is going on? Don't you want to find out?"
Xian Fei was stunned for a moment, then she understood what she said and hurriedly said, "Did you really not see clearly who it was? Or it is possible that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were newly married and were naughty and playful."
"You know that the Crown Princess is having her coming-of-age ceremony in the East Palace today." Concubine Shu snorted coldly, "Even the two of them need to be talked about. The palace was a little dissatisfied with their behavior before. The Crown Prince's reckless behavior should be taken care of... Let's not talk about anything else. Do you care about this matter?"
"Of course we have to take care of it. Let's go and take a look together." Concubine Xian called a few palace maids and met Concubine Yu and Concubine Ru as soon as they went out. In a short while, they became a large group of people and walked straight towards the northwest.
As they walked, Concubine Shu said, "The palace is really full of smoke and dirt right now. Anyone can come in. This harem is extraordinary. If the emperor hears about this, I wonder what he will think."
These words were directed at Consort Xian. After Consort Ru and Consort Yu heard them, they did not dare to speak.
The face of Concubine Xian turned red and white. She bit her lip and said nothing. The situation was unclear and she didn't know what was going on. If there really was something dirty in the palace, she really couldn't shirk her responsibility.
When Concubine Shu saw that no one spoke up, she became even more arrogant: "I don't know what you are busy with all day long. Even with your eyes open, you are almost as good as a blind person."
"Sister, I was wrong in this matter. Thank you for your thousand hands and thousand eyes watching over me." Concubine Xian said in a neither soft nor harsh tone.
Concubine Shu felt that this sounded wrong. She opened her mouth but said nothing. There was only a hint of sneer in her eyes.
Soon everyone arrived at the Qingming Palace. There was not even a palace guard on duty, so everyone went straight in...
At this moment, Dongfang Run slowly opened his eyes. His body was still sore, but he was able to speak. Looking at Lou Wanyue who was still sleeping in his arms, Dongfang Run frowned. He was recalling what had happened. By the way, where was An Qingran?
There were water stains on my face and my clothes were half wet. Could it be that someone splashed water on me while I was unconscious?
That doesn't make sense.
Just as he was thinking, he heard light footsteps on the roof. Before he could distinguish them carefully, he heard a group of people coming over. He couldn't get up, so he just called Lou Wanyue to wake her up. However, Lou Wanyue only opened her eyes hazily and blinked, not understanding the situation at all. At the same time, people broke into the house...
When everyone saw who the man and woman hugging on the ground were, their expressions varied. Concubine Shu exclaimed and frowned, while Concubine Xian suppressed her laughter when she saw it: "Prince Dongfang, Miss Lou, you..."
Dongfang Run was able to stand up now. The strange fragrance in the room had disappeared. He helped Lou Wanyue sit on the bed, then looked at the calm expressions on everyone's faces and said, "Greetings, ladies!"
Concubine Shu's eyes searched everywhere, she turned the screen and looked around a few more times.
Dongfang Run saw her movements and asked, "Is the Imperial Concubine looking for someone?"
Concubine Shu stopped and sneered, "I've always heard that Prince Dongfang is as smooth as jade, well-mannered, and respectful of etiquette and the rules, quite like an ancient man. But I don't know what kind of explanation he will give in this situation. After all, this is a deep palace, and countless eyes are watching."
Dongfang Run thought about it and smiled: "There is truth in the old saying, if a man does not indulge in romance in his youth, he will live in vain. Therefore, please forgive me for my impoliteness, ladies..."
He was smart and knew he was being tricked, but he believed it wasn't An Qingran's doing. So the person behind it was probably among these women. He might as well just admit his inappropriate behavior and clear An Qingran. But where did she go now?
He remembered that she also softened here.
What is going on?
Although he had thousands of questions in his mind, his expression remained calm and frank, as if this was the most normal thing.
Although Concubine Xian had a good impression of Dongfang Run, this was the harem after all, so she couldn't help but say, "If the matter between the prince and Miss Lou happened somewhere else, we would only send our blessings, but in the palace, such behavior is really... such a young man's flirtation is beyond words, and it will only affect Miss Lou's reputation. Please think carefully about it, Prince. I will inform the emperor about this matter, and I hope you will be prepared."
"Of course, I will handle the matter between Wanyue and I." When he said this, there was a hint of self-mockery in his tone.
The same goes for the expression on his face.
Lou Wanyue covered her head, leaning against the bed like a beauty, still confused: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"You don't know what happened?" Concubine Xian felt something was wrong. Looking at her expression, she felt that she really knew nothing.
Concubine Shu suddenly spoke up, "Well, since they are not from the palace, it's okay for them to come here to reminisce about the past. It's fine if we don't help them with this matter, but it's not appropriate to leak it out, so that people will think that my palace inner garden can come and go as they please. So what I mean is, why don't we let the prince handle this matter himself? Let's just pretend that nothing happened today, wouldn't it save face for everyone?"
Just now, Concubine Xian said that she would tell the emperor about this matter. She actually sold a favor with just a few words. Concubine Xian was naturally unhappy, but since she said so, if she insisted, she would offend more people.
So he just said a few words and then took everyone away.
Only Dongfang Run and Lou Wanyue were left in the room. They looked at each other, one with a wry smile, the other blankly. For a moment, no one spoke...
