Chapter 88 The Emperor's Identity Revealed
Love listened to the footsteps gradually approaching, and finally sat down beside her.
Her heart was beating like thunder, and her hands unconsciously clutched her dress tightly.
The next moment, his hand was wrapped by a big cold hand.
His thumb gently stroked the back of her hand.
She could sense his soothing tone.
Luo Fu couldn't help but think of what happened during the past two days when she slept with him.
The emperor was always fierce when he kissed her, but if she was hurt, he would immediately become gentle.
How could someone who cares so much about his concubines peel off people's skin...
She didn't want to second-guess him anymore.
For the first time, I took the initiative to shake his hand back.
He paused.
Seems to be laughing.
Then he leaned his forehead against hers, and rubbed his nose lightly against hers.
Extremely intimate and loving.
Love's face burned.
I think of a word, rubbing ears together.
His Majesty seems to like her very much...
As soon as the thought came to mind, my lips were covered.
The tenderness just now was gone, she was pressed on the bed, and he became fierce again.
A night of passion.
When Love woke up, it was already daybreak.
The ribbon covering her eyes had been removed.
The emperor is naturally gone too.
The bed curtains were slowly drawn open, and the maids were waiting in front with various things in their hands.
The two maids who helped her bathe yesterday were not there.
After washing and changing her clothes, Love had her meal and was led by two maids to walk on the corridor to help digest her food.
She looked at the rain outside and sighed, "Why won't the rain stop? If it keeps going like this, there will be a flood."
The maidservant beside him said, "Don't worry, my lord. On the first day of the heavy rain, His Majesty dispatched various government offices to take precautions against flooding. Even if a flood occurs, nothing will happen."
Luo Fu nodded and smiled, "I know, Xiangjun went there too."
She walked forward slowly and asked casually, "The weather is getting colder, and it's raining so hard. You have to work hard to serve the master. If you catch a cold and lose your composure in front of the master, will you be punished?"
"This..." the maid said, "The master is merciful and will not punish us."
Luo Fu looked at them sideways: "Are you serious?"
Another maid said, "Losing composure in front of the master can be a big or small thing, and it can't be generalized. When the master is in a good mood, she won't care, but when she is in a bad mood..."
Luo Fu hurriedly asked, "What happens if you're in a bad mood?"
The maid bowed her head and said, "My master is kind, so it won't be a problem."
They don't look like they won't do anything.
Love didn't want to continue questioning them, so she raised her hand, pulled her cloak, and continued to walk slowly forward.
In the past, she only walked around the palace.
I was preoccupied at the moment, and unknowingly walked a little further away.
When I came to my senses, I saw a pavilion at the corner in front of me.
There are bamboo curtains hanging on all four sides of the pavilion.
There seemed to be shadowy figures moving around inside.
The sound of rain blocked out all the sounds outside.
The conversation between the two people in the pavilion was also faint.
What was being discussed seemed to be related to her.
She walked closer and looked over.
There were many gaps in the bamboo curtain, and two women could be seen inside.
He is an actor wearing colorful costumes and long flowing sleeves, singing songs.
The tall one held a long pole in his hand and pointed it at the other one, making it flip over and over.
It seems that he is very proficient. He can practice martial arts and have a conversation at the same time.
"How long do you think this noble lady Luo can live?"
"Half a month? Maybe a month. It seems she lived longer than the concubines of the past. But who knows? Maybe His Majesty will have a brain attack and will not recognize any relatives and will skin her alive. It's not like concubines have never been hanged in front of the palace before."
Skinning again!
Love froze in place.
The two actors inside were still talking.
"That's right, sister. Your Majesty is so cruel and cold-blooded that he even personally led people to strangle his own mother to death in order to ascend the throne.
He could even kill his own mother without batting an eyelid and watch her corpse dangling around, let alone a concubine.
It's such a pity for that noble lady Luo. I heard she was born like a fairy, but after peeling off her skin, her flesh and blood will probably be just like an ordinary person."
………………
The two of them exchanged only a few words, but what they said was like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Love's mind.
She was still in a daze when the door of the next room was kicked open.
Two men in black tights appeared out of nowhere, rushed in, picked up the two actors, and threw them to the ground.
Then he knelt down facing one side.
His face was ashen.
It seemed as if I would lose my life in the next moment.
Luo Fu was stunned, her eyes slowly moved up from them, and saw Chang Jin standing there, followed by a group of eunuchs.
He was not wearing the eunuch's uniform that she was used to seeing.
Instead, he was wearing a thick black dragon robe embroidered with dragon patterns.
His complexion was also paler than Chang Jin's, like paper.
But his lips were black and blue.
The red bloodshot eyes were clearly visible, looking extremely scary on this gloomy rainy day.
He kept gasping for breath, as if he was suppressing something, veins bulged on his forehead, but his voice was very soft.
"Take her back to Ningxiangju."
He didn't look at her, but just stared at the two actors and gave them orders.
"yes!"
Two eunuchs immediately walked out from behind him, stood in front of Love, and blocked her gaze from looking at Chang Jin.
"My lord, please come with the servants."
Love's eyes fell on them.
The two eunuchs' faces were also pale, and they looked even more frightened than her, but they were still trying hard to stand in front of her.
Luo Fu walked out of the Chengping Palace gate like a wandering ghost.
The sedan chair was already waiting on the wide platform.
She was about to go over when she suddenly heard crying behind her.
"Sir, help me!"
Love turned around and saw the two maids who had been serving her just now kneeling on the ground and begging her.
She was confused: "What's wrong?"
The two maids trembled and cried, "We were right there just now. Your Majesty will definitely not forgive us. If the noble man were to leave like this, we would surely die!"
"Please, please save us!"
Luo Fu looked at the two eunuchs who brought her here and asked, "Is that so?"
The two eunuchs bowed and said, "In reply to your Excellency, these two people do need to be taken back."
When the two maids heard this, they kowtowed and begged repeatedly.
The two eunuchs' expressions turned cold. Without allowing them to say anything more, they covered their mouths, one on each side, and said to Luo Fu, "This is just a routine interrogation. Your Excellency, please don't be deceived by them."
Luo Fu was extremely upset, but she didn't stop them. She just said, "Then you guys check it out. If they are innocent, don't hurt them..."
His voice gradually weakened towards the end.
She was no longer sure whether what she said would be of any use.
When the two eunuchs dragged the maid back to the main hall, they saw several palace servants scrubbing the floor.
Both of their scalps suddenly felt numb.
Ever since Concubine Luo entered the palace, His Majesty has never killed anyone in the palace again.
They also relaxed.
But now, the feeling of a knife on my neck, as if I could die at any moment, has returned.
The two maids looked even more pale.
The two men dragged the maid back to the main hall tremblingly.
The hall was in a mess.
The emperor stood in the midst of the devastation, holding a bloody knife.
His hair was disheveled and he looked crazy.
Like a demon crawling out of hell.
The two eunuchs' knees went weak and they collapsed to their knees.
Murong Jin heard the voice and turned his eyes to look over.
The two eunuchs hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the servants have brought these two slaves here."
The two maids had their hands tied and were lying on the ground.
Murong Jin stumbled over, knife in hand, and grabbed a maid by the hair, lifting her up: "Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"
The maid trembled: "No, no one ordered me to do this, this matter has nothing to do with me..."
She wanted to say it had nothing to do with her, but she couldn't utter the last word.
Blood spurted out of her throat, choking her and filling her mouth with blood.
Murong Jin left her and looked at the other one: "What about you? It has nothing to do with you either?"
The maid was frightened to the point of madness, her eyes were wide open and her mouth was drooling.
Murong Jin laughed, and stabbed the knife into her back, piercing through the nail in the ground.
The two surviving eunuchs were crawling on the ground, shaking like sieves.
Gao Bin had been standing in the hall. He came over and handed the cup to him, "Your Majesty, have a drink."
Murong Jin pushed him away and staggered backward, but seemed to have run out of strength and fell to the ground again.
"His Majesty!"
Gao Bin quickly rushed over to help him up: "Your Majesty's brain disease has recurred. Since Concubine Luo knows your Majesty's identity, please ask her to come and accompany you."
Murong Jin suddenly fell silent, the frantic look on his face fading slightly. He wiped the blood off his face and said, "I thought she would know, but I didn't expect it to be like this. She saw me in such a state. She must be very scared. Let her calm down."
Gao Bin was also annoyed: "This matter is also my fault. I only thought that they would attack Luo Guiren, so I only focused on protecting her safety, but I didn't expect that they would actually attack His Majesty."
Murong Jin's expression was extremely gloomy. "Tell me, who is it, who arranged such a big drama for me?"
Gao Bin said, "It's none other than Zhang Hong and Gao Wei. This plan is crude and crude, and doesn't seem like Zhang Hong's work, but I have a feeling he has something to do with it."
Murong Jin laughed cruelly: "I have been too lenient with them recently. If you dare to do such a thing, you must be brave enough to bear the consequences. I will make these two people mourn at home."
Gao Bin said coldly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely make them feel heartbroken!"
………………
cabinet.
A young eunuch hurried over and whispered something in Zhang Hong's ear.
Zhang Hong's expression remained calm: "I understand. You can go down."
The emperor did not come to court today.
He knew that something had happened in the inner court.
This is indeed the case.
Although I don’t know what happened exactly.
But judging from the reactions of the emperor and Noble Lady Naluo.
This time the emperor was severely punished.
After so many years, that old guy Gao Wei hasn't made any progress at all.
After getting the news, he actually leaked it.
In this way, the emperor will find out everything before nightfall.
Although the overwhelming anger would not engulf Gao Wei, it would always cause him great damage.
Both sides suffer losses, how wonderful.
Zhang Hong was in a good mood and calmly waited in the cabinet for news about Gao Wei's accident.
Not long after, a minor official came running over with a pale face.
"Something's wrong, Mr. Ge!"
Zhang Hong recognized this minor official. He was from the Ministry of Revenue and was his son Zhang Lu's man.
Gao Wei got into trouble, why was he the one to report it?
Zhang Hong had a slight suspicion in his heart, but his expression was as calm as usual: "How can you be so flustered? What happened? Tell me slowly."
The official trembled and said, "Master, please go back and take a look. The young master... he's gone!"
Zhang Hong's expression, which had always been calm and composed, finally changed. He slowly stood up and asked, "What did you say?"
The official cried, "The young minister was attacked by bandits on his way back from the yamen. Now it's already... "
He couldn't continue.
Although Zhang Hong had three sons, Zhang Lu was the best-qualified one and the one he focused on cultivating.
After decades of cultivation, he had many followers in the court, but now they are gone just like that.
Even ordinary family members find it difficult to accept.
What's more, there is the Zhang family who has such a huge family business to inherit.
Zhang Hong felt dizzy and fell forward.
"Lord!"
The housekeeper and several cabinet ministers rushed over to help him, and at least he was not knocked to the ground.
Zhang Hong's eyes were wide open.
Lu'er's death must be related to the emperor.
This madman!
He had already cleared himself of the danger, but he still managed to kill him!
Zhang Hong held the hand of the young official and slowly stood up, dragging his body out step by step.
When the carriage passed by Wuqing Marquis Mansion.
There was also a mess at the door.
The young marquis was found dead in front of the mansion gate.
The servants were carrying his body back home.
Zhang Hong woodenly lowered the curtain.
It's really a lose-lose situation.
But not Gao Wei and the emperor.
But it was him and Gao Wei.
………………
Love didn't know that in such a short time, a lot of blood had been shed inside and outside the palace.
The sedan returned smoothly to Ningxiangju.
Ningxiangju remains the same.
Tinglan and Qinghe were waiting at the door.
He was delighted to see the sedan chair coming back, and opened his umbrella early. When the sedan chair stopped in front of him, he hurried forward to open the curtain and help the person inside out.
"Master, why do you look so bad?"
As soon as Luo Fu came out, Tinglan and Qinghe noticed that her face looked strange and asked hurriedly.
"Did you catch a cold?"
"I felt uneasy last night, and it seems that the master is not right today."
The two of them became anxious and asked Chang An and the others who had gathered around to light the charcoal pot and boil the ginger soup. They helped Luo Fu into the house. One touched her hand, the other touched her forehead and asked, "Master, you don't have to be patient now that you are back. Tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
Luo Fu slowly raised her head and looked at them: "Do you know that Chang Jin is His Majesty?"
When she suddenly asked this, they both choked and blushed: "Master, does the master know?"
Their reaction says it all.
Luo Fu didn't want to ask any more questions: "You guys go out, I want to sit alone for a while."
The two looked at each other, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start, so they just responded, looked back every few steps and went out to stand guard at the door.
Love sat alone for the whole morning.
At noon, I ate a little and went to bed.
I didn’t have dinner.
Chang Jin did not come back.
The emperor did not summon him.
However, Love slept uneasily.
I felt groggy in my dream.
Sometimes Chang Jin would circle her and tell her strange stories in a lazy manner.
One moment, Chang Jin was wearing a dragon robe, killing people with a ferocious face and peeling their skins.
A moment later, he was sitting on the dragon throne, looking at the female officials in the court with kindness and tolerance.
A moment later he stretched out his bloody hand towards her...
Love suddenly woke up.
It was dark and quiet all around.
Her hand was held by someone.
I don't know when, there was a person squatting beside the bed.
