Chapter 354: To please the daughter-in-law? The queen beats the emperor behind closed doors
"Well, I will do it right away."
Eunuch Li took the order and went to do the work. The emperor thought about it and felt that it was not enough, so he called him back and said, "Give the Night Pearl of the South China Sea to Shen Liangdi as well."
"Yes." Eunuch Li accepted the order and went to the Hehuan Palace with many rewards.
The emperor continued to pace in the study room and sighed, "This is a difficult matter! If the empress learns about this matter when she returns, I'm afraid she won't let it go given her temper."
The emperor got a headache when he thought of the queen.
He suddenly stopped and ordered, "When the queen comes back, tell her that I am ill."
The eunuch nodded respectfully: "I obey your command."

Xiao Jinyan woke up a long time ago, and seeing the person in his arms sleeping soundly, he didn't want to get up.
Maybe we have been apart for too long and I want to stay with her for a while longer.
She didn't seem to have changed much since she left. The only thing that changed was probably her belly, which became a bit of a bother when I held her.
At this time, Liu Xi's shrill voice came from outside the door, "Your Highness, Eunuch Li is here."
Xiao Jinyan's eyes paused, he glanced at Xiaojiu who was still sleeping soundly, and stood up to put on his clothes. However, because the hem of his clothes was pressed down by her, he woke up Xiaojiu when he stood up.
Shen Chu opened her eyes slightly and stared at the man beside the bed for a long time, because he had just woken up and was not yet fully awake.
Xiao Jinyan saw her open her eyes and said nothing, "Are you awake?"
Shen Chuwei hadn't seen Xiao Jinyan for a long time, so when she saw Xiao Jinyan after waking up, she was sure that Xiao Jinyan had really returned.
"Your Highness." She rubbed her eyes and climbed up as well.
Xiao Jinyan said as he changed his clothes, "Eunuch Li is here."
"Eunuch Li?" Shen Chuwei reacted. Eunuch Li was the one who served the Emperor, so she could only dress like him.
The two of them walked out of the inner room one after another and saw Eunuch Li standing in the hall.
Xiao Jinyan said in a calm voice, "Eunuch Li, what's the matter?"
Eunuch Li walked over with a smile, pointed at the things in the young eunuch's hand and said, "Your Highness, these are all gifts from the Emperor to Concubine Shen Liang. This red agate bracelet is most suitable for pregnant women to wear."
"And this South China Sea Night-Shining Pearl, it's perfect to put it by the bed for lighting at night."
Xiao Jinyan glanced at the things in the little eunuch's hands and saw that they were all treasures.
It is not difficult to guess that the emperor is feeling guilty and wants to compensate Xiaojiu.
He snorted in his heart. Can giving something as compensation be enough?
The emperor gave me gifts, so I should thank him.
Shen Chuwei took two steps forward, took the things, and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift."
"Then this bastard will go back and report." Eunuch Li turned around and left with a smile.
After Eunuch Li left, Shen Chuwei took the Nanhai Night Pearl and looked at it for a few seconds. It was her first time seeing a Night Pearl, so she curiously took it to Xiao Jinyan and said, "Your Highness, this Night Pearl is the same size as a goose egg."
Xiao Jinyan looked at the night-shining pearl in Xiaojiu's hand and said, "There are only three night-shining pearls in the South China Sea. Father got two, and one is with mother."
Shen Chuwei said: "...The emperor is really generous~"
Xiao Jinyan snorted.
Shen Chuwei suddenly had an idea, "Your Highness, how about we put it by the bed at night? Then we don't have to turn on the light."
When talking about lighting the lamps, Xiao Jinyan smiled and said, "As long as you are happy."
At this time, the queen's phoenix sedan chair had already arrived at the palace.
The queen looked at the familiar red bricks and green tiles, but her heart was still unsettled.
But she knew that the dog emperor hated unfaithful women the most.
Fortunately, the prince has returned.
After returning to the palace, the queen went straight to Yu's study.
Qingying then advised: "Your Majesty, calm down and don't conflict with the Emperor."
The queen smiled wryly: "Don't worry, I dare not challenge the emperor, he is the ruler of a country."
Qingying nodded repeatedly, "It's good that the Queen knows."
The Queen snorted: "I just want His Majesty to know that I am very angry!"
Qingying knew the Queen's temper too well, so she reminded her, "Then take it easy."
The Queen said, "Don't worry, he is the Emperor after all, we cannot confront him head-on, I know my limits."
Qingying looked at the Queen's attitude and felt that she was losing control.
When the empress stepped into Yu's study, she did not see the dog emperor. He was not in Yu's study in broad daylight. Where did he go?
Could it be that he went to see Miss He again?
The Queen walked out of Yu's study and asked the eunuch beside her, "Where is the Emperor?"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is not feeling well and has returned to the Yangxin Palace." The young eunuch lowered his head and replied respectfully.
Feeling unwell?
Suspicion flashed across the queen's eyes. "Why are you suddenly feeling unwell? Did you catch a cold or something?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know." said the young eunuch.
After hearing this, the empress asked no more questions and walked to the Yangxin Palace with a fairly dignified step.
Eunuch Li saw the Empress coming from a distance and turned around and went in quickly, "Your Majesty, the Empress is here."
Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately put down the memorial in his hand, and with the help of Eunuch Li, he took off his dragon robe and shoes, and lay on the bed looking unwell.
When the queen came in, she saw the dog emperor lying on the bed. She turned her head to look at Qingying Li Gonggong and said, "You guys leave."
“Yes.”
Eunuch Li and Qingying walked out, closing the door behind them.
The empress then walked closer and took a look. The emperor's face looked normal, but there was sweat on his forehead, his brows were wrinkled, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was feeling unwell.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
The emperor saw the queen and said weakly, "Queen, you came back early?"
The queen snorted, "My daughter-in-law and grandson are in prison. Can I not come back earlier? If I come back later, I'm afraid I won't be able to see them."
The emperor guessed that the empress came back early because she must have heard the news. As for who sent the news, who else could it be other than Yu'er?
"What are you talking about, Her Majesty? Now the truth has been revealed. Concubine Shen and the emperor's grandson are both safe and sound." He emphasized the last sentence.
The Queen sneered: "Your Majesty, I see that you are full of energy when you speak, and you don't seem to be unwell."
The emperor coughed twice and said, "I am afraid that my voice is too soft for the queen to hear and cause misunderstanding."
"Really? My precious grandson almost died because of the emperor, and the emperor just said a few words and it was over?"
The queen said as she rolled up her sleeves.
When the emperor saw the empress preparing to beat someone up, he suddenly recalled the first time they met, when he was beaten to the ground by the empress. Even after so many years, the memory was still fresh.
"You are the queen, you must be careful about your manners."
"If my grandson is gone, what's the point of me being a queen?"
The queen lifted the quilt, and the emperor hurriedly grabbed the queen's hand and said, "I am the emperor."
"If you weren't the emperor, I would have beaten you eight hundred times already."
emperor:"……"
"What did you say back then?" The Queen imitated the Emperor's tone and said, "Ling'er, when you arrive at the Eastern Palace, it will be like being at home. You can do whatever you want without any restrictions."
