Chapter 30 Are you scared now?
Jiang Shuyi and Miao Wangshu returned to Zhaoyang Palace together.
After Yuzhu served tea and led the palace servants to retreat, Jiang Shuyi asked Miao Wangshu in confusion, "Why did you insist on dealing with Wen Yao yourself? I thought you wanted to keep things quiet and give her a light sentence, but it turned out to be a heavy one. If that's the case, it would be better for me to give the order. Wen Yao will hate you for nothing. What will you do if she uses the Queen Mother to take revenge on you in the future?"
"With your words, I am willing to be hated.
Miao Wangshu smiled and sighed, "If I had done something like this when I was following Concubine Wu, I'm afraid that when I return, Concubine Wu will scold me for doing something unnecessary, not to mention worrying about me."
Jiang Shuyi felt that it was natural to protect her own people, but she was also very happy to be praised by her subordinates. She said with a smile on her face, "I know I'm not as smart as you. You must have your reasons for doing things. Anyway, you won't harm me, so why should I scold you?"
She was about to continue talking to Miao Wangshu about today's events when a voice suddenly rang out from outside: "His Majesty has arrived!"
Jiang Shuyi and Miao Wangshu looked at each other, and both vaguely realized that the emperor came at this time mostly because of Wen Yao's matter, so they stood up. Before they had time to greet him outside the hall, the emperor had already stepped in.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
The two of them saluted together, Miao Wangshu lowered his head. Jiang Shuyi felt uneasy and couldn't help but look up at Pei Yan. It was not a big deal to look up, but she saw that he was quite wet from the rain, and he didn't even wear a cloak. The wet sleeves were stuck to his forearms, with water droplets dripping down.
Her expression changed, and she didn't bother to salute. She stood up and walked forward quickly. After shaking Pei Yan's cold hand, she angrily questioned Cheng Shouzhong: "How did you serve him? You let His Majesty get soaked like this. Are you tired of doing this job?"
Cheng Shouzhong: ...
I'm really tired of it.
Jiang Shuyi called Yuzhu out again and asked her to prepare hot water for bathing. She then took Pei Yan and went to the inner room: "Your Majesty, please change your clothes first. Be careful not to catch a cold."
This time, he pulled it but it didn't move.
She turned around and looked up, and saw Pei Yan looking at her with his eyes lowered and expressionless.
Jiang Shuyi had a bad feeling.
Pei Yan is gentle and easy-going by nature. He usually smiles and has a blank expression on his face, which means he is angry.
They were still warm and affectionate last night, but it is obvious why they are angry today.
Sure enough, the next moment, Pei Yan said lightly: "What are you busy with? I am here to punish you."
Her guess came true, and Jiang Shuyi looked at him with guilt and grievance.
I feel guilty because I know I did go too far today. I feel wronged because Pei Yan said yesterday that Wen Yao was not worth mentioning. Why do I feel sorry and regretful when I see her being punished today?
Her thoughts were written on her face. Pei Yan retracted his gaze and turned to Miao Wangshu who was standing respectfully on the side and said, "Miao Zhaoyi, you should go back to the palace."
Miao Wangshu replied "yes", glanced at the clasped hands of the Empress and His Majesty, bowed and took his leave.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Jiang Shuyi called her, looked at the rain curtain outside the door, and said, "It's raining now, Di Cui, take an umbrella and send Miao Zhaoyi back. Be careful on the road, don't slip."
Miao Zhaoyi thanked her with a smile and left with Dicui.
Pei Yan felt a little unhappy when he saw how attentive she was to everyone.
He held Jiang Shuyi's hand, transferring the cold feeling to the warm softness. Feeling the shiver in his palm, he clenched it tightly and said in a light tone: "Instead of worrying about her, think about yourself. I tell you, you can't escape punishment today."
Jiang Shuyi gasped for air from the cold. She looked up at Pei Yan and tried to act pitiful: "It's so cold..."
However, Pei Yan's expression and tone were as indifferent: "You are the one who wanted to catch me, so you have to bear the cold yourself."
Jiang Shuyi was depressed. Was it wrong for her to feel sorry for him?
Pei Yan didn't say much, but took her hand and walked towards the inner hall.
Jiang Shuyi was touched by his wet and cold sleeves, and hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, why don't you wait a little longer? The hot water will be ready soon. Why not take a bath and then..."
"Teach you a lesson on why you should take a bath."
Pei Yan interrupted her without turning his head.
Jiang Shuyi felt a little uncomfortable. After giving her a lesson, she didn't even ask what happened but blamed all the fault on her.
Pei Yan let go of her hand only after he entered the inner hall. He walked to the armchair that they often used and sat down. He looked up and saw Jiang Shuyi standing at the door, pursing her lips and looking at him, so he asked, "Do you feel wronged?"

Jiang Shuyi was almost dead with grievance.
When asked this, she couldn't help it, took a deep breath and complained: "Your Majesty is biased and believes one side. You blame me because you think Concubine Wen is pitiful. But in this world, it's not the case that whoever is pitiful is right!"
Pei Yan was not annoyed, and he was willing to accept advice: "Well, I will listen to both of you, and you can also tell me your reasoning."
I can't finish talking about Jiang Shuyi for two days and two nights!
"Ever since she was favored, Concubine Wen has been targeting me. She treats the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, and the Imperial Concubine with respect, but to me, she is like a rat in the gutter, always showing an expression that seems like she wants to bite me. I have been enduring this for a long time before today!"
Pei Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "Go tell this to the Queen Mother and see if you get a beating."
Jiang Shuyi was not that stupid. When she saw Pei Yan smile, she knew that he was not angry because of what she said, so she became even more unscrupulous. She quickly walked to his side, grabbed his sleeve and shook it softly, saying coquettishly: "The Queen Mother favors her niece, so I naturally dare not ask for a beating. But His Majesty said that he loves me the most, so I dare to say anything in front of His Majesty."
"Don't think you can get away with it by pleasing me. Speak your mind."
Although Pei Yan said this, he did not pull away his sleeves.
Jiang Shuyi said "Oh" in disappointment, but soon became angry again: "Today is the most annoying thing. She was jealous of Your Majesty staying in my palace last night, so she took it out on Concubine Lin. She is just a noble lady, but she beat Concubine Lin and made her kneel down. I spoke up for justice and reported it to the Empress, but she got angry and called me a villain!"
When she mentioned this, her face flushed with anger: "I have never suffered such an injustice in my two lives. I was stepped on by a noble. If I am not severely punished, I will not be able to face people in the harem in the future!"
Pei Yan heard it twice, but he didn't take it to heart. He just thought she was talking nonsense in anger.
He looked at Jiang Shuyi, and waited until she calmed down a little before he said slowly, "Since you are so confident, I believe that if the Queen Mother summons you tomorrow, you will be able to handle it without my protection."
Jiang Shuyi was so shocked that her eyes suddenly widened and she stammered, "The Queen Mother will summon me tomorrow?"
Pei Yan: "Maybe today."
Jiang Shuyi was startled and quickly squatted in front of Pei Yan, looking up at him eagerly: "I want your Majesty's protection! Concubine Wen must have reported me. If the Queen Mother gets angry, I don't know how she will punish me!"
Pei Yan lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Aren't you innocent? Didn't I just listen to one side and believe it? Just say so in front of the Queen Mother."
Jiang Shuyi was really afraid that he would not care, so she grabbed his white jade belt and called out pleadingly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Pei Yan stared at her quietly for a while before raising his hand and pinching her jaw: "Are you scared now?"
