Chapter 66 also came from a book?
Liu Zhiyuan was stunned by what he heard. Although he didn't understand, he didn't want to understand either.
Finally, I came to the conclusion that I was ill.
Yan Ruyu smiled at her and said, "But don't worry, you must be very special in the emperor's heart. He even made the queen mother faint because of you."
"Empress Dowager?" Liu Zhiyuan was puzzled.
"Yes, the Queen Mother's mad dog Bai Ze is running around everywhere in the harem. Everyone is terrified when they hear about him, but no one dares to touch him. Yesterday, I heard that the Emperor beat Bai Ze to death for you, and had him stewed and sent to the Queen Mother's palace. When the Queen Mother saw it, she rolled her eyes."
Yan Ruyu rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue, then smiled mischievously, "He fainted and hasn't woken up yet."
Liu Zhiyuan was stunned. "Is the Empress Dowager so weak?"
Can I be dizzy for a whole day and a whole night?
Yan Ruyu sneered, "She will faint someday."
Liu Zhiyuan pursed her lips, a hint of confusion flashing across her watery eyes. Why did she feel that Yan Ruyu hated the empress dowager?
She was not very interested in the secret affairs of the palace. In comparison, she was more concerned about the Liu family's case.
"You just said that Zhou Kang is in charge of my father's case?"
"Yes, the emperor told me."
Liu Zhiyuan clenched her handkerchief, "How's the investigation going?"
"I'm not sure about that. The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. If you want to know, next time you meet Zhou Lang, I'll ask for you."
"Okay, thank you." After thanking him, he realized, "Can you meet a man from outside your family?"
"Yes, I can. How can I endure seven years without being able to see each other?"
It’s one thing to separate a couple in love, but if they can’t even meet each other, are they still human beings?
Liu Zhiyuan was speechless. Yan Ruyu's open-mindedness did not seem like that of an ancient person.
Could it be that he also traveled through time?
It's not impossible. If she can wear it, others can wear it too.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Zhiyuan said, "Palace Jade Wine."
"What?"
"The king of heaven covers the tiger of earth."
"What are you talking about?"
The confusion on Yan Ruyu's face didn't seem fake. Liu Zhiyuan looked away disappointedly, "Nothing."
It seems that she was overthinking it. Traveling through a book is a fantasy event. It is a fantasy to have one happen, so how could there be two?
Her attention was attracted by the half-embroidered sachet by Yan Ruyu. She lowered her head and missed Yan Ruyu's gaze.
"Are you embroidering this for your lover?"
"Yeah, it looks good."
"It's beautiful, but why are the embroidery on it mandarin ducks?"
"Mandarin ducks are birds of love. Giving this as a gift has a good meaning. When Zhou Lang wears it, he will surely be as loyal to me as the male mandarin duck, and stay with me forever."
Liu Zhiyuan couldn't bear it and said, "But male mandarin ducks are scumbags. Mandarin ducks are not loyal at all."
"What?" Yan Ruyu was stunned.
"We often see mandarin ducks in pairs, inseparable, and therefore give them a symbol of love. But that's actually because when the breeding season arrives, male mandarin ducks will cast their nets widely, sending courtship messages to various female mandarin ducks. When a female mandarin duck takes a fancy to him, the male mandarin duck will stay by her side, inseparable. But after the female mandarin duck lays eggs and hatches, the male mandarin duck will end the relationship and move on to find another female mandarin duck."
Therefore, many people have been misled, but in fact mandarin ducks are not infatuated.
Yan Ruyu's face turned green. She picked up the scissors and cut the sachet in half with a click.
No wonder she always felt that Zhou Kang had become much colder towards her recently. It turned out that he had given her too many sachets!
When Yan Ruyu thought about the sachets, embroidered handkerchiefs, carved jade pendants and clothes she had made for Zhou Kang, all of which were decorated with mandarin ducks. Even the bowl he used for eating and the quilt he covered with for sleeping were replaced with mandarin ducks at her request, her eyes went dark.
Change!
They all must be replaced!
"So what should I embroider?"
Liu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's embroider a pair of swans. Swans only fall in love once in their lifetime and have only one partner. It symbolizes unwavering loyalty."
The love they recognize will last until they die, and they will never separate or betray each other. This is what true love birds are.
Yan Ruyu seemed to be lost in thought, as if she had seen this statement somewhere before.
But she doesn't know how to embroider a swan.
She was the daughter of a military general. Her mother died early and she had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, so she had never learned embroidery. After entering the palace, she was bored and asked the nanny to teach her. She only learned to embroider mandarin ducks.
So everything made for Zhou Kang was mandarin duck.
It was a bit difficult to learn to embroider a swan again. The result was not quite like the original. It turned out to be two big white ducks staring at each other with big eyes.
It doesn't matter. If Zhou Kang thinks it's too ugly, she can twist his head off to see clearly whether it's ugly or not.
…………………………
Inside the Wanshou Palace, the imperial doctors were kneeling on the ground.
Concubine Chen stood by the bed, her face filled with anger. "What a bunch of rubbish! My aunt was unconscious for a whole day and night, and you actually said she was just angry!"
"If my aunt doesn't wake up, I'll chop off your heads!"
All the imperial doctors were trembling with fear and could not express their suffering.
Judging from her pulse, the Empress Dowager was indeed very angry. As for why she had been unconscious for so long, it was entirely due to her physical condition. They had tried all the methods they could, and they did not dare to use some of the stimulating methods on the Empress Dowager. They really had no other choice.
Just when Concubine Chen was about to smash the vase in anxiety, Aunt Jia beside the Empress Dowager suddenly shouted excitedly, "The Empress Dowager has woken up!"
Concubine Chen rushed to the bedside and grabbed the Queen Mother's hand with tears in her eyes, "Aunt, you finally woke up. Yue'er was scared to death."
The Queen Mother supported herself on the bed with her hands and struggled to sit up.
She was weak and after holding on for a while, she fell back onto the bed. "Where's Bai Ze? Where's my Bai Ze? He's not dead, is he?"
A dark light flashed across Concubine Chen's eyes, and she sobbed, "Aunt, Bai Ze...it accidentally entered Zining Palace and was beaten to death by the Emperor."
"Aunt, Bai Ze died because of Liu Zhiyuan. You must avenge him."
The Queen Mother's eyes widened in anger and she slapped Concubine Chen in the face.
She was very weak at the moment, but the slap was quite powerful, and Concubine Chen's face was knocked to the side.
"aunt."
Facing the empress dowager's cold and angry eyes, Concubine Chen covered her face and quickly knelt on the ground.
The Queen Mother leaned against the bed, her hand trembling as she pointed at Concubine Chen. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Bai Ze was living peacefully in his own palace. Why on earth would he run away and, by such a coincidence, end up in Zining Palace?"
"Chen Wanyue, how dare you plot against me!"
Concubine Chen's eyes were in a panic. She knocked her head to the ground and burst into tears. "Aunt, I'm sorry, I... I..."
Damn it!
She had obviously done this very covertly, so why did the Queen Mother immediately guess that it was she who had the mad dog released?
Whether the Queen Mother was speculating or had evidence, she had already been exposed. Instead of trying to conceal it, it would be better to divert the blame and save herself.
