Chapter 131 Concubine Zhao was afraid that you would hit her, so she hid
Shen Yuanwei wanted to say something, but Xiao Lingzhao had already kowtowed to express his gratitude.
A deep male voice echoed in the hall.
"I thank the emperor for his help. I, Xiao Lingzhao, am willing to go and take back the Taihu Water Fort."
"Please bear witness for me, my lords. I will come back in five months to take my wife home."
Seeing Xiao Lingzhao kowtow to express his gratitude, the other ministers looked at each other and also kowtowed, praising the emperor for his wisdom.
Xie Junlin glanced at those people who called him wise, and the murderous intent in his heart remained as strong as ever.
wise?
Oh.
How he wanted to be a moralless and incompetent ruler.
He turned away with a wave of his sleeves.
"Chen Hai, Concubine Zhao is pregnant. She shouldn't kneel for long. Help her go back."
Chen Hai saluted and responded.
He walked up to Shen Yuanwei, bent down and helped Shen Yuanwei up.
"My queen, please get up quickly. It's not good for the little prince if you kneel for too long—"
Shen Yuanwei stood up with the help of Chen Hai.
She wanted to stay with Xiao Lingzhao for a while longer, but with so many people watching, and she was still Concubine Zhao after all, she couldn't stay here for long.
She looked at Xiao Lingzhao deeply, and thinking that they would be separated for five months, she imprinted Xiao Lingzhao's face deeply in her mind and left with Chen Hai.
Not far from the front hall, Shen Yuanwei said to Chen Hai, "Don't follow me, I'm going to see Prince Rui."
Chen Hai hesitated, "My queen, you should go see the emperor... The emperor is the most pitiful right now. If you leave him, all the civil and military officials in the court will be his enemies. He must be very fragile, and he needs you to comfort him..."
Shen Yuanwei shook her head. "No, I made him lose face in front of so many people. He must hate me to death now. I'm afraid if I go, he will quarrel with me or even fight with me."
She stroked her belly and said to Chen Hai, "You don't want the emperor to lose his mind in a fit of rage and force me to have a miscarriage, do you? If I have a miscarriage, the emperor will regret it when he wakes up, and he will vent his anger on you, the servants, don't you think?"
Chen Hai's expression suddenly became serious.
yes.
The emperor is now in a rage, so it is better not to bring Concubine Zhao to see him.
Concubine Zhao is an ignorant person who will not surrender or beg for mercy. If the Emperor scolds her now, she will surely scold him back, which will add fuel to the fire. Wouldn't the Emperor lose his mind?
Whether he threw Concubine Zhao on the bed in a rage or beat her, it would lead to miscarriage...
Chen Hai bowed and saluted, "What Concubine Zhao said is absolutely right. Then you can go to the Empress Dowager. I will serve the Emperor here."
Shen Yuanwei thanked the kind eunuch Chen Hai and turned to walk towards the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
Chen Hai came to Xie Junlin's bedroom.
Xie Junlin was sitting on the small couch, drinking cup of tea to suppress the anger in his heart.
Seeing Chen Hai coming back alone, he clenched the teacup tightly.
"Where's Concubine Zhao? Did she think I wasn't embarrassed enough today and openly confide in Xiao Lingzhao?"
Chen Hai was terrified.
The emperor is really more resentful than a ghost at this moment...
But it’s not the emperor’s fault.
Chen Hai walked into the room with his back bent, and said carefully, "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao was not alone with General Xiao. As soon as you left, she left with me without saying a word to the general..."
Xie Junlin was still furious.
"Really? Where is she? Do you want me to be humble and ask her to come in?"
Chen Hai didn't even dare to breathe.
He whispered, "The queen said that she was afraid that you would be too angry and beat her to death in a fit of rage. She was afraid of hurting the fetus in her belly, so she ran to hide with Prince Rui for a while..."
“…”
Xie Junlin was stunned for a moment, then looked up and stared at Chen Hai.
He never expected to hear such an answer.
Shen Yuanwei actually ran to King Rui to avoid disaster because she was afraid of being beaten by him...
Even though he was extremely angry at the moment, when he heard Shen Yuanwei's behavior, he couldn't help but think that this woman was so cowardly that even her cowardice was laughable.
Did Shen Yuanwei think that this was just a quarrel between a country couple and that they could just find a place to hide secretly to avoid being beaten?
He was not a powerless country bumpkin, he was the emperor, he had plenty of servants and means. If he really wanted to beat someone up, it would not matter where this woman hid, he could just give a word and bring her back to beat her to death.
He actually hid from his younger brother. Ha, if he was really angry, he would beat his younger brother too!
Chen Hai asked quietly, "Your Majesty, are you going to Prince Rui to look for Concubine Zhao?"
Xie Junlin sneered.
"What do you want to do with her? Want to fight with her?"
"I'm afraid of seeing her heartless and ruthless behavior of abandoning her husband and children. I will beat her to death!"
"Don't worry about her, let her hide. I don't want to see her right now!"
Xie Junlin thought of the humiliation he had experienced in the court, and with a force of his fingers, he crushed the teacup into powder.
"Hide, I want to see how long she can hide!"
"Does she have to hide for five months, and only come to me when her water breaks and the baby is about to be born?"
Chen Hai lowered his head and said nothing.
The emperor has never been so angry with any of his concubines.
The person the Emperor favors the most now is Concubine Zhao, and probably the person he hates the most is also Concubine Zhao.
Alas, this empress who makes people love and hate her, why can't she stay peacefully with the emperor? Why does she have to abandon the emperor and the little prince? How can there be such a heartless mother?
If he could have a child, he would sacrifice everything for the child.
…
Xie Junlin was very angry. Shen Yuanwei hid in Prince Rui's yard and ate a big pear with Prince Rui.
Prince Rui squatted under the table, holding the pear in his hand and eating it slowly, bite by bite.
Shen Yuanwei sat cross-legged next to Prince Rui. Just as she finished the cake in her hand, Prince Rui slowly reached his hand out from under the table, climbed along the table leg to the table top, and touched around. He took out a big crispy pear from the plate and happily put it into her hand.
King Rui opened his beautiful lips slightly and uttered a word that was barely audible, "Eat..."
Shen Yuanwei took the pear, held her chin with her hand and looked at Prince Rui with his rosy lips and white teeth.
Who would have thought that Prince Rui, who was so frightened that he hid against the wall when he saw her approaching a few months ago, can now live in peace with her, squatting under a table shoulder to shoulder.
It’s all thanks to her that she can hear the prince’s inner voice.
The autistic prince was unable to communicate with others, but he discovered that she could miraculously understand him and that she was the only one who could solve problems that others could not. Gradually, the prince began to accept her.
Prince Rui noticed Shen Yuanwei's gaze and slowly turned his head.
He blinked his long eyelashes and looked at Shen Yuanwei. Thinking that Shen Yuanwei wanted his sweet pear, he stuffed the pear into Shen Yuanwei's hands and asked, "Here?"
Shen Yuanwei curled her lips and smiled gently.
This child is really well-behaved and cute.
Shen Yuanwei stuffed his pear back and said, "Eat it yourself. I'm full."
King Rui stared at her dully, then placed the pear on her belly, his eyes twinkling with light, "He eats it?"
