Chapter 89 I heard that Luo Fu was engaged in Yanzhou
Love was frightened and subconsciously pulled her hand back. When she wanted to call for help, she suddenly felt that the man's outline seemed familiar.
It's Chang Jin.
But now it's time to call him His Majesty.
His expression was lost in the darkness, but Love could sense his gloom.
She didn't dare move for a moment.
He stared at her gloomily for a moment and said, "Are you that scared? You're not even going to eat dinner?"
After listening to him, Luo Fu felt a little relieved.
He got off the bed and wanted to kneel down to pay his respects.
He snorted coldly: "Sit still, or I'll punish you."
Love froze and had no choice but to sit obediently on the edge of the bed.
He sat cross-legged on the floor beside her bed.
Sitting like this, she was actually taller than him.
He folded his hands and looked up at her: "Don't listen to them, I'm right here, if you want to know anything, just ask me."
After spending a long time in the night, my eyes got used to it.
Love could see the expression on his features.
Negative test.
Just like when he was just around her and in a bad mood.
She still remembered that when she first arrived in the capital and was staying at Shuyu Residence, he looked so gloomy when he came back from outside, with bloodshot eyes and blue veins visible on his forehead.
It is said that he killed two dogs...
"When we were at Shuyuju, you told me that you killed your superior's dog. But it wasn't actually a dog, it was a human, right?"
Murong Jin paused, not expecting her to ask this. He said, "Well, those things are no different from dogs. They will deliberately provoke me, just like yesterday. If I don't kill them, I will be the one to die."
Luo Fu had read history books and knew that not all ministers were loyal. Murong Jin's words startled her: "Are there any ministers who want to seize the throne and rebel?"
Murong Jin said, "Yes, who wouldn't want to sit on the dragon throne in the Golden Palace?"
Love didn't know what to say.
She didn't understand what was happening in the court.
Murong Jin waited patiently for a while, and when she didn't say anything, he asked, "Are you still afraid of me?"
Luo Fu thought about it, but couldn't explain it clearly, so she could only lower her head and say, "I... don't know."
Murong Jin leaned forward, hugged her, and looked up at her: "Then keep asking, you can ask anything, until you are no longer afraid."
His tone and demeanor were similar to Chang Jin's.
But Love could no longer treat him the same way she used to.
Not daring to let him just stare up at her, she carefully slid down from the edge of the bed to sit on the floor, facing him. "Did you have a headache yesterday?"
It was easier to hug her when she sat down. Murong Jin ignored her unfamiliar name and hummed, "Are you scared?"
Luo Fu nodded: "Why do I have a headache? Can't the imperial physician cure it?"
Murong Jin's eyes lit up with a smile: "It's incurable, but with you by my side, the attacks rarely occur anymore. Don't worry, I won't die."
she?
Love was stunned.
But if you think about it carefully, except for the beginning when his lips turned blue and his eyes were covered with red bloodshot, he had not had these symptoms when he was in Ningxiangju.
It would be great if she could really cure his brain disease.
At least, she shouldn't be skinned...
Murong Jin hugged her tighter and waited for her to continue asking.
Luo Fu hesitated, then asked the question she wanted most: "They say... you would skin the bodies of the palace maids and concubines and hang them in front of the palace gate... Is that true?"
Murong Jin was silent for a moment: "Hmm."
Love's face changed.
Murong Jin had been staring at her. Seeing her expression change, his face also turned grim. He turned his head and said, "That was in the past."
But she still didn't speak.
He turned around, frowned, and said, "Are you going to abandon me because of this?"
Love was stunned.
He had said this when he was just with her.
But he is not the eunuch Chang Jin after all.
He is an emperor.
How could it be that she didn't want him?
Murong Jin held her waist tightly, staring at her closely, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. "Do you remember what you told me? You said you would support me, and that you would raise me to be plump and white. You want to give up now? I tell you, it's impossible!"
As he spoke, his gloomy expression gradually turned into a sticky and sickly look.
Like some kind of snake is about to wrap around it.
Luo Fu was a little panicked, and subconsciously raised her hand to press against his chest: "I don't want you!"
Murong Jin didn't believe it and stared down at her hand that was resting on his chest.
Love quickly withdrew her hand.
However, as soon as she pulled it back, he wrapped her in his arms, strangling her so much that she couldn't breathe.
She sensed something was wrong with him and said hurriedly, "I really don't want you anymore, Chang Jin, please let me go first."
Perhaps the two words "Chang Jin" worked, and the force he used to wrap around her was a little less.
She raised her face from his arms: "I'm just a little afraid of things like that. Let me take it easy, it will be fine after a few days."
Murong Jin's expression relaxed slightly, and he lowered his head to rub her nose: "You didn't lie to me?"
Love's face started to burn again.
I can't help but think of last night.
She was afraid that he would become aggressive again, so she quickly stepped back and asked, "Why did you pretend to be Chang Jin to lie to me?"
Murong Jin was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't pull her back. He said in a hoarse voice: "At first I just thought it was fun, then I didn't want you to be afraid of me, and then..."
He paused, his eyes fixed on her lips.
Love's face grew even hotter.
And a little annoyed.
Because he wanted to do that, he even went to the trouble of asking someone to act with him and cover her eyes.
It made her nervous.
I've been guessing some things.
She was angry but dared not speak out.
Murong Jin was in a good mood, and he approached her and asked, "Hasn't the nobleman already suspected my identity? He even asked people outside to go to the Imperial Household Department to investigate me. Why didn't he investigate it thoroughly?"
Love looked at him and didn't dare to speak.
Murong Jin smiled: "Who blames me? It's because you are so soft-hearted. I just showed a little weakness, and you convinced yourself. I didn't even need to think of any other way."
Love: ………………
She couldn't help but say, "You thought about it. You have a fragrance on your body, which is different from the smell on Chang Jin. You did it on purpose..."
Murong Jin raised an eyebrow, his expression unchanged as he said, "My noble is so smart. If I don't do this, then no one can get close to you."
Love: …………
Murong Jin smiled.
The sickly stickiness of the previous moment had long since vanished.
He took her up and stood up, took the cloak from the hanger and wrapped it around her, then pulled her out.
And outside, candles had been lit at some point.
Love asked, "Where to?"
Murong Jin glanced at her and said, "Eat."
…
Luo Fu looked at the sky outside: "...Why are we eating at this time?"
Murong Jin kept walking: "I don't want you to be hungry again."
Love was stunned.
He took her to the outer room and she sat down on the embroidered cushion. Only then did she think of the first time she was taken to Chengping Palace. He had pestered her for almost a whole day and night, and she woke up from hunger with her stomach growling.
He actually still remembered it.
Love's ears turned red.
Tinglan and Qinghe had already brought the food over.
It was the first time that Love couldn't eat.
Everyone in Ningxiangju was also worried, and soup was simmering in the kitchen, just in case she might be able to eat some.
But it was already late at night and she still didn't move.
Fortunately, the emperor came.
Tinglan and Qinghe couldn't hide their smiles on their faces.
"Master, this is soybean and pig's trotter soup. It's been simmering on the stove until it's already tender. It's perfect to drink now. The side dish is the sour and spicy flavor you like, and it goes best with the freshly baked lotus cakes."
Luo Fu didn't feel hungry at first, but after she sat down and listened to Qinghe's words, and was intoxicated by the delicious smell, she really felt hungry.
She picked up the soup spoon and was about to drink the pig's trotter soup when she suddenly stopped and looked at Murong Jin who had been staring at her: "You, you should eat some too."
Murong Jin was displeased by her address and he tutted, "You need company for dinner? Why are you so squeamish?"
Love: …………
Is she spoiled?
If she kept staring at him.
It’s a wonder he can eat it!
But now she didn't dare to say anything to him and was about to explain.
He had already taken the spoon: "Forget it, I'll accompany you this time."
Love: …………
She ate slowly, and Murong Jin wanted to keep her company. By the time she finished her small bowl, he had already eaten three bowls, and he still slowed down on purpose.
His face looked bad.
Luo Fu knew that he didn't like to eat, so on the Double Ninth Festival, she had to watch him eat before she could finish a bowl of five-spice noodles.
I have eaten three bowls now, which should be more than usual.
She felt like laughing.
But soon I couldn't laugh anymore.
I ate a full meal late at night and even though I was feeling sleepy, my stomach was still full.
He could only digest his food in the corridor outside with Murong Jin while feeling sleepy.
I tossed and turned until dawn before going back to sleep.
Murong Jin knew that his identity was exposed, so he was no longer polite and openly took over her bed and...her.
But he didn't do anything else.
Love had become accustomed to his embrace and gradually fell asleep.
When he woke up, Murong Jin had already left.
Tinglan and Qinghe opened the bed curtains and said with a smile, "The master is awake."
Love sat up and looked outside.
The heavy rain that had lasted for several days finally stopped.
Although the sun had not yet risen, the sky was already bright.
Sweep away the gloom of yesterday.
Love washed, changed her clothes and went out.
I planned to take a walk in the yard.
But I saw two groups of people standing in the yard.
Chang'an, Shouzhong and Deshun were in the front.
Before she could react, Tinglan and Qinghe beside her also walked over and knelt with the others, saying, "Your servants congratulate the master on her promotion to Imperial Concubine."
"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master!"
Luo Fu was stunned: "What concubine?"
Ting Lan smiled and said, "My Lord, His Majesty has already appointed you as a noble concubine and has specifically instructed that if you wake up, you should be taken to live in Cuiwei Palace."
Qing He continued, "Cuiwei Palace is right next to your Majesty's Chengping Palace. It's the Imperial Concubine's residence."
The two finished speaking.
The eunuchs and palace maids behind them said in unison: "Congratulations, Imperial Concubine! Please move to Cuiwei Palace."
Love got into the sedan chair in a daze.
When I sat down in the main hall of Cuiwei Palace, I still felt a little unreal and uncomfortable.
Ningxiangju is very comfortable, neither too big nor too small.
She had lived in Ningxiang for more than a month and had gotten used to it.
Although every detail of Cuiwei Palace is exquisite, it is too large.
She felt empty. Even though she had a maid, the place still seemed so deserted.
When Love felt uncomfortable.
The news of her promotion to the position of imperial concubine quickly spread throughout the inner court.
In another palace.
After hearing the report from the palace maid, Cui Yuzhen's eyes widened in disbelief. "Noble Concubine? Who did you say was promoted to the position of Noble Concubine?"
This news would sooner or later reach Cui Yuzhen's ears. The little palace maid wanted to seize the opportunity and come over to show her face.
I didn’t expect Cui Yuzhen to react like this.
It's like wanting to eat people.
Her heart skipped a beat, and the sweet smile on her face froze. She quickly knelt down and said, "Yes, it was Concubine Luo from Ningxiangju who was promoted to the position of Imperial Concubine."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Cui Yuzhen's heavy breathing.
I think he was furious.
Yanqiu had been waiting nearby and was also surprised when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and stepped forward to support Cui Yuzhen, saying to the young palace maid, "The master understands, you can go down now."
The little palace maid was terrified and hurried out after hearing the words.
Yanqiu supported Cui Yuzhen and wanted her to sit down.
But she suddenly pushed her away and shouted, "Noble Concubine? What right does she have?"
She was fighting fiercely with others here, and there was no news about the slave girl who cheated her in Qingzhou. She was feeling very aggrieved, but she was promoted to imperial concubine without any word?
Why?
Yanqiu was also feeling very tired.
She had already asked Cui Yuzhen to go to Ningxiangju to make friends with Luo Fu.
But she always makes excuses.
In the end, he got annoyed.
Now that he has gotten to where he is today, it might not be so easy to talk to him anymore.
At this time, instead of thinking about how to make amends, I'm still angry.
In this case, not to mention seizing the throne, even occupying a place in the harem is in jeopardy.
Even with this in mind, Yan Qi could only coax her, "Your Majesty has never even been to the harem. To have been able to instantly become a noble concubine, she must have used some tricks. Master, don't worry. If she has the tricks, we can use them too. As long as we can see Your Majesty, your position in the future may not be lower than hers."
Cui Yuzhen calmed down a bit after hearing this. She walked over to the wide chair and sat down, tapping the table and saying, "Then you should think of a solution quickly. How can I see His Majesty?"
Yan Qiu frowned and said, "Master, you are so impatient now. Even if you meet His Majesty, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing."
Cui Yuzhen endured for a while and said, "I will definitely not act like this when I see His Majesty. You better think of a way. Not only do I want to see His Majesty win the emperor's favor, I also want to make that Luo Fu lose favor!"
She paused and added, "No, even if I can't win the Holy Grace, I can't let her off easily! How can she compare to me? Why should she soar to the sky!"
Yan Qiu sighed: "It's still the old way. The master needs to make friends with that Miss Luo Er."
This time Cui Yuzhen didn't get angry. She just gritted her teeth and said, "And then?"
Yan Qiu said, "Since she has been promoted to Imperial Concubine, His Majesty must be very fond of her. My master is on good terms with her, and when His Majesty goes to her palace, my master can always see His Majesty. Only after seeing His Majesty and getting to know His Majesty's temperament can we talk about the future."
Cui Yuzhen clenched her hands tightly and was silent for a moment before saying, "I'll listen to you, but you don't think enough. Taking the initiative to befriend her is only one thing. The more important thing is to get something on her. I remember my eldest sister mentioned in her letter that Luo Fu was engaged to someone else when she was in Yanzhou. If this matter is exposed at the right time, I wonder if she can still hold on to her position as imperial concubine!"
Yan Qiu's opinion of her changed slightly after hearing this. He nodded and said, "Master, you are right. If we can't make friends, I have this leverage to force her to help you."
Cui Yuzhen laughed heartily, stood up and went to the desk in the inner room: "I will write a letter now, you pass it to my elder sister, I want to dig up all the details about Luo Fu!"
