Chapter 609 He Wants to See Her

Inside Yuxiu Palace, there were naturally palace maids guarding the gate who heard the noise outside, but after waiting for a long time, they only heard the news that the emperor had left. The palace maids were a little disappointed for a moment, but they still reported the news to Shuhong.

Shu Hong had packed herself up long ago. After hearing the news, she thought about it and went to the bedroom door. She knocked gently and asked quietly,

"My lady."

There was no movement in the bedroom.

Shuhong thought about how the empress had told them not long ago that she wanted to rest and asked them not to disturb her. Seeing that there was no movement inside, she thought she had fallen asleep, so she did not knock again and went to the next room instead.

In the room just across the door, Si Linglong was curled up on the floor, biting a corner of the blanket in her mouth, without making a sound from beginning to end. Her face was as pale as paper, and the strands of hair on her forehead were stuck to her face after being wet by sweat, and the veins on her forehead were throbbing with pain.

An unknown amount of time had passed until the piercing pain in her chest suddenly disappeared. Si Linglong was still trapped in the pain, unable to breathe. She just lay on the ground, without even the strength to get up.

[…It’s over? ]

The system took the initiative to appear again and tried to correct her stupid behavior.

System: [Remind the host, if you regret now, the punishment will not continue. ]

It obviously still doesn't understand why some people would rather accept the system's punishment than follow the system's tasks.

Si Linglong was so tired at the moment that she didn't have any strength left and didn't want to pay any attention to it.

Seeing that she had no intention of going back on her word, the system was about to exit the connection. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Si Linglong suddenly spoke softly.

【I have a request. 】

The system said almost immediately, "You say."

It thought that the host had finally changed its mind after experiencing such pain.

But unexpectedly, Si Linglong's next words were,

[Please set the two hours of punishment for me after midnight.]

It was late at night and everyone was resting, so no one would barge in and notice anything.

The system understood her plan almost immediately, and seemed to be somewhat disappointed with her, and also seemed to be taking revenge.

System: [Host, please confirm. If the time is changed to midnight, midnight tonight will be the second round of punishment.]

According to the twelve hours of a day, the hour of Zi is the beginning of the day.

It is now three quarters past three in the afternoon, which means that in no more than three hours, she will have to endure the second round of heart-wrenching pain.

The system couldn't understand her behavior.

Si Linglong had finally recovered a little, but she was still lying on the ground, speaking in a flat tone.

【Can.】

[I think this pain is acceptable.]

[It is said that giving birth is extremely painful for women. If I have to give birth to a child for Yue in the future, I can get used to it now.]

Si Linglong still had the energy to tell it a joke.

The system was silent for a while, then it disconnected with a click.

…

That night.

Inside Linghua Palace.

Fu Tai looked at the time and was about to help the emperor go to bed and turn off the lights, but when he entered the bedroom, he saw the emperor who had changed into a black robe with dark patterns.

Fu Tai was stunned for a moment, then looked at the sky outside and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, are you going out for a walk?"

Taking a walk late at night is not so unreasonable.

Helian Yue glanced at him and ignored him. He tied the band around his wrist and then spoke, "You stay in the palace, I'll be back soon."

As he spoke, he did not walk towards the gate, but opened the window on the side of the bedroom in Linghua Palace.

Futai: ...

He seemed to know what the emperor was planning.

This... nightgown, is the emperor planning to sneak into Yuxiu Palace at night?

Right?

Because Concubine Quan said during the day that it would be bad for Concubine Lang to visit openly, the Emperor came up with the idea of ​​sneaking over at night...

Fu Tai was so shocked that he didn't know how to react.

Your Majesty, do you still remember that you are the emperor?

The emperor has to be sneaky to see his concubine...

Could it be that this Concubine Lang really has some kind of magic?

Fu Tai was lost in thought in panic.

Helian Yue ignored the thoughts of his chief eunuch. After opening the window, he took a light leap and in two breaths he silently jumped onto the roof along the window sill.

His skills are not inferior to those of the dark guards in the dark guard camp.

The reason why Helian Yue insisted on seeing her tonight was not because he missed her so much after not seeing her for such a long time as Futai thought.

But he has something to say and he must ask clearly.

Today at Lianrui Palace, he was so focused on her silently watching him cry that he forgot to pay attention to what she said at that time.

She said, "She had someone give you Wu Shi San."

That "she" naturally refers to Bai Qianqian. It was for this reason that Si Linglong impulsively rushed to Lianrui Palace to beat someone up.

At that time, he only subconsciously thought that Linglong was talking about Xiang Tian following Bai Qianqian's orders to poison him.

After all, they had just heard Xiang Tian's plan when Si Linglong went to find Bai Qianqian.

Helian Yue did not think deeply about it, but only felt vaguely that something was wrong after he came back.

Because Linglong said that Bai Qianqian fed him Wu Shi San.

The thing called Five Stones Powder was not something he heard from Xiang Tian's heart sound. What Xiang Tian was talking about was only poison, not Five Stones Powder.

How did Linglong know for sure that Bai Qianqian had someone give him the Five-Stones Powder?

And she said "fed" instead of "want to feed", which shows that this is a fact that has already happened.

Helian Yue was certain that he had not been drugged, so the person who was fed the Wu Shi San could only be him who had been killed in the original novel.

This also explains why Linglong was so angry that she attacked Bai Qianqian directly.

As for why she suddenly knew that he had been fed Wu Shi San before, the answer could only be -

After he left, the system told her.

Helian Yue recalled that when he went to Yuxiu Palace today to ask Linglong for clarification, Gu Qingquan showed up in time and stopped him. He did not suspect anything at the time, but after returning to the palace and thinking about it carefully, he noticed that something was wrong.

Gu Qingquan has never been a person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs, let alone take the initiative to do something like hindering others.

That can only be because someone asked her to do so.

Combined with the fact that Linglong had previously requested to be confined to her own home and had proposed not to see him again, Helian Yue began to guess something.

Linglong is hiding something from herself.

And this matter is obviously related to the system.

If I didn't know, it would be fine, but now I have noticed the clues.

Tonight, he had to see her no matter what.
