Chapter 131 Grounded Again
Inside the bedroom of Yaohua Palace.
Quan Minghe sat upright on the couch, emitting a majestic aura.
Shen Yuning stood in front of him with her head lowered. She was very familiar with his posture of lecturing someone, so she just waited silently for him to speak first.
"I asked you to reflect quietly in Yaohua Palace. Is this how you reflected?"
Shen Yuning raised her head and corrected him, "Your Majesty, you did not ask me to 'reflect' on my past, but to 'reflect' on my past behind closed doors."
The words "quiet meditation" and "closed door" were deliberately emphasized.
"I have not stepped out of Yaohua Palace in the past three days. During the day, I have followed your instructions and honestly reflected on myself."
Her eyes were sincere, as if she was showing Quan Minghe how well behaved she was.
"A sharp tongue."
Quan Minghe didn't buy her trick and looked her up and down.
Her makeup was carefully done, and her clothes were charming and passionate, something she had never worn in front of him before.
He seemed to suddenly realize that she had always treated him perfunctorily.
The sachets were embroidered by the embroidery studio and sent over.
As for dancing, she had only danced once after losing her memory. The difference between her dancing style and today's was worlds apart. It's not that she danced badly before, but she was not as alluring and charming as tonight.
It made Quan Minghe feel like he saw another person.
Before she lost her memory, she would cry and ask to have lunch with me, but now I have to take the initiative to look for her. She has never taken the initiative to look for me once.
It seemed that he had never received any gift that she prepared sincerely, except for the poem she wrote at her birthday party before she lost her memory.
Quan Minghe pursed his lips, feeling more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it.
Shen Yuning saw him staring at her for a long time without saying anything. His deep gaze made her feel a little confused.
Her glassy fox eyes blinked.
What's wrong with this man?
The silence was a little hard to bear, so Shen Yuning asked, "Your Majesty, will you stay at Yaohua Palace tonight?"
She would be released from house arrest tomorrow and was planning to go to Weiyang Palace to find the passage to Lingxi Palace, so naturally she had to cater to him.
Quan Minghe looked at her with his deep eyes, and there was an indistinguishable meaning in his eyes.
It was as if he didn't hear what she was saying at all, but was immersed in his own thoughts.
Does she not care about her own favor at all?
She holds a high position as a concubine and has everything she wants, plus the generous dowry brought to her by Ye Jinshu. I'm afraid she has long since stopped caring about her favor.
Shen Yuning frowned and called out again, "Your Majesty?"
Quan Minghe narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Do you want me to stay overnight?"
She looked well-behaved. "Who among the imperial concubines in the harem doesn't want His Majesty to stay overnight? Why does His Majesty ask such a question?"
She said nice things, but Quan Minghe could not see any sincerity in her eyes, only perfunctory and coping.
"I think you are a slippery talker. It seems that these three days of reflection have no effect on you. I think you need to reflect for another half a month."
Shen Yuning was stunned.
This bastard, why are his emotions becoming more and more unstable? He changes at any time.
The winter solstice will have passed in half a month. How can I go to Weiyang Palace to find the passage, and how can I sneak into Lingxi Palace?
Seeing Quan Minghe stand up and about to leave, Shen Yuning reached out and grabbed his hand.
With a somewhat aggrieved tone, she said, "Your Majesty confined me for three days just because I went to a palace where no one knew who lived. I did not ask Your Majesty the reason."
"Your Majesty asked me to reflect on myself, so I did. But even though I reflect on myself every day, I really don't know what I did wrong. I am very afraid that Your Majesty doesn't care about me anymore."
"That's why I invited Concubine Su and Mr. Zhao to come and have fun with me, so that I can relieve my depression."
"I can't guess what your majesty is thinking."
"So what did I do wrong that you want to confine me to my room for half a month, wuwu..."
The tears were like beads that had broken off the string, looking so pitiful.
Quan Minghe's eyes fell silently on her profile. Looking at the tears that kept falling, although he couldn't bear it in his heart, he still said coldly: "Don't cry."
"Since you don't know what you did wrong, then think about it carefully. If you can't figure it out, then continue to stay in the palace and don't come out."
"As for those singers and dancers, they are not allowed to enter Yaohua Palace without my order."
Only when she understands that everything she wants can only be given by herself, will she know his importance.
Instead of being perfunctory and without any sincerity like now.
After saying this, he no longer looked at her tear-filled eyes. He knew that she was used to pretending to be pitiful, so he shook off her hand and left Yaohua Palace.
Shen Yu stared at Quan Minghe's back. The tears that had filled her eyes just now had already disappeared, and were replaced by a thoughtful look in her eyes.
She frowned slightly.
Could it be that I overstimulated myself?
But she was just having fun with the girl. Could it be that Quan Minghe was jealous of her?
Xitong saw His Majesty leaving outside, and learned that the Queen had been under house arrest for another half a month. She was extremely worried and hurried in.
"Your Highness, weren't you planning to go to Weiyang Palace? How did you make His Majesty angry and be confined again?"
Shen Yuning pretended not to hear and subconsciously touched his chin.
He murmured to himself, "Could it be that Quan Minghe realized that I don't like him, and I don't take him seriously, or even value him anymore?"
She originally thought that with Quan Minghe's previous personality, he would not find out so easily.
I had thought that after I had dealt with Liu Shihan, I would make it more obvious that I didn't love him, making him upset and angry, and even feel that he had been deceived.
At that time, it would be best to banish yourself to the cold palace in a fit of anger.
Only in this way will she have the chance to hook up with Feng Moheng.
Before, Quan Minghe didn't take love matters seriously, so she only needed to act a little and pretend to please him on weekdays, and she could always fool him easily.
But now it seems that this trick doesn't work anymore, it's really tricky.
Since I'm planning to investigate the Weiyang Palace anyway, I might as well stick to him and let him feel the "love".
"Xitong, tomorrow after His Majesty leaves the court, go and stop His Majesty and tell him that I am burning hot all over and very ill. Then tell him that I will not allow any imperial physician to come and treat me, and that I only want to see His Majesty."
"Ah? Madam, a fever is not a minor problem. You should not resort to the self-torture trick."
After all, in ancient times, a minor illness could result in death, let alone a fever.
"Are you stupid or am I stupid? I'm just going to soak in hot water and then put a hot towel on my forehead. Isn't that enough to create the appearance of having a fever? It won't really hurt myself."
Shen Yuning rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily.
"I see. Tomorrow I will bring His Majesty to you."
