Chapter 47: Vow of Love
Upon hearing this, Prince Shou'an touched his nose and said with a veiled smile, "He is quite infatuated. He has remained chaste for more than ten years for one person. What a true lover."
"Keep your chastity like jade?" Li Yueyao looked at Feng Shenyu with a smile.
Feng Shenyu had a blank expression on his face and said nothing.
Li Huaiyu smiled cunningly and said, "That's right. Every time you went to a brothel with me over the years, you just listened to music and watched dances, and never stayed overnight.
I was doubting his ability, but who knew he was guarding for that person. Hehe..."
"Hearing you say that, I suddenly became curious. I want to see what kind of beauty that woman is that made the Right Prime Minister obsessed with her for so many years."
After hearing what Li Huaiyu said, Li Yueyao smiled and spoke.
Li Huaiyu grinned after hearing this. It seemed that his aunt still didn't know the Right Prime Minister's intentions. Now there was something interesting to watch.
So he looked at Feng Shenyu leisurely to see what he could say.
But Feng Shenyu smiled and said, "It's not the right time yet. When the time comes, I will let Your Highness see me."
Li Huaiyu laughed stiflingly after hearing this.
These two people are so interesting!
…
At the hour of You, Li Yueyao returned to the palace and saw that the emperor was still awake, so she went to visit him.
When the emperor saw Li Yueyao, he smiled and asked, "Aunt, what play did you go to see with the Right Prime Minister today?"
"I watched a drama of a man and his concubine in love, and a pair of star-crossed lovers."
When the emperor heard this, he looked sideways in surprise and asked, "Gao Hongchen's?"
Li Yueyao picked up the teacup, took a sip, and nodded slowly.
"Who is he with?" the emperor asked curiously.
Li Yueyao considered it for a moment, thinking that the emperor was poisoned and in poor health, and he couldn't be frightened and angry again and again.
Then he said, "The woman's identity is unknown. I will tell you when I find out."
The emperor nodded.
Seeing that Li Yueyao had been drinking tea, he said, "It's so late, it's not good for your health to drink such strong tea, aunt."
Li Yueyao took another sip and said, "The Xianfei has taken the bait. We're going to have a lot of trouble tonight."
After hearing this, the emperor looked solemn and stopped talking.
An hour ago, Miaodong, the little palace maid from Fanghua Garden, passed by Longguang Gate again. The moment Guan Quan and Miaodong passed by each other, he handed over a small note.
Miaodong held the note tightly in his hand and hurried back to Fanghua Garden.
In the main hall of Fanghua Garden, the imperial concubine was still lying sick on the bed. She took the note handed to her by Miaodong and looked at it carefully in the light.
Then, with a look of panic on his face, he clutched the note tightly in his hand.
Seeing this, Nanny Zhou beside her hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong, Madam?"
The imperial concubine handed the note in her hand to Nanny Zhou with trembling hands.
When Nanny Zhou opened it, she saw the words written on it: Exposed, the young master wants to evacuate the capital.
The imperial concubine's voice trembled as she asked, "Mammy, what should we do now?"
Nanny Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "Young Master has reached the point where he needs to evacuate. I believe most of our covert forces in the capital of Jin must have been destroyed."
"The young master can't enter the palace, and we can't go out. What should we do?" the imperial concubine said in panic.
Nanny Zhou was very calm: "The young master has ordered us to lie low, Your Majesty, please do not act rashly."
But the imperial concubine was very excited at this moment: "Mammy, now that the young master has left, I don't know when I can see him again.
Since I cannot leave the palace, I must at least let the young master know my intentions.
Since this news can still be delivered, it means that the connection in the palace has not been severed..."
Nanny Zhou heard this and said sternly, "Your Majesty, please do not do this. Remember the Young Master's words. It is better to remain still and not move."
The imperial concubine refused to listen and said irritably, "Mammy, I know you are doing this for my own good, but don't you know how much I miss the young master?
After this separation, we may never meet again. Are you not even going to allow me and the Young Master to say our final goodbyes?"
Nanny Zhou looked at the hysterical imperial concubine and opened her mouth to persuade her again.
But the noble concubine had already made up her mind and said to Miaoqing beside her: "Help me up, I want to write a letter to the young master."
Seeing this, Madam Zhou hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please don't do this..."
Miao Qing turned around and looked at Madam Zhou, saying calmly, "Madam, the Empress is the master."
Nanny Zhou was choked by Miao Qing's words and stopped in her tracks.
Miaoqing helped the imperial concubine to the desk.
After the letter was written, the imperial concubine said, "Go and get that rosewood box."
Miaoqing took the box and handed it to the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine opened the box, took out a small jade token, and placed it together with the letter paper into an exquisite little bag.
Nanny Zhou was still trying to persuade the Imperial Concubine. This time, the Imperial Concubine stepped forward, shook Nanny Zhou's hand, and said, "Nanny, please have pity on me."
Nanny Zhou was so stunned that she couldn't utter a word and could only turn around anxiously.
A quarter of an hour later, Na Miaodong appeared at Longguang Gate again, just when he and Guan Quan passed by each other again.
Suddenly many people gathered around.
The young palace maid panicked when she saw this, and before she could react, she was captured by the people around her.
The two were taken directly to the Taiji Palace.
Guan Quan looked up at the emperor, Princess Jinyang, and Concubine Xian who were sitting at the top of the table, then lowered his head and remained silent.
Fu Shou stood quietly by the side without saying a word, while Qian Lou stepped forward to report.
"Your Majesty, this servant, Fu Shou, and I captured these two spies at the Longguang Gate. This is the evidence we found."
Then he presented the physical evidence.
The emperor took the item out of the small bag and found a jade-carved oath of love inside.
I couldn't help but frown.
Then he opened the letter again, and as soon as he took a look at it, his face turned gloomy.
Because he recognized it as the imperial concubine's handwriting.
The emperor suppressed his anger and read the contents of the paper. He was so angry that his breathing became unstable and he started coughing.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Xian stood up and poured a glass of water for the emperor, then reached out to help her calm down.
Li Yueyao reached out and took the paper to look at it.
After reading it, he smiled and said, "It's so touching and moving!"
The emperor covered his chest and gasped for breath, unable to speak for a long time.
Concubine Xian said to Guan Quan and the young palace maid Miao Dong, "Your Majesty is here. Tell me, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"
Guan Quan spoke first: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am guilty."
"Oh, what crime have you committed?" Li Yueyao asked casually.
"Your Majesty, I have repeatedly passed on messages for the Imperial Concubine..."
Guan Quan had just finished speaking when Miao Dong, standing beside him, interrupted with a cold look, "It's always me who writes to you. Why are you bringing up the Imperial Concubine?"
After being scolded by Miaodong, Guan Quan opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, Concubine Xian sneered and said, "Look, how loyal this servant is."
Li Yueyao listened calmly and said, "Come here, ask the four concubines and the queen to come over."
"Yes."
Sun Fu turned around and went out to arrange for someone to come.
Fu Shou and Qian Lou stood behind Concubine Xian and Li Yueyao respectively.
It didn't take long before everyone arrived at the Tai Chi Palace.
His Majesty the Emperor has recovered and is no longer breathing heavily, but his face looks so gloomy that it seems as if water may drip out of it.
When the queen entered the hall, she walked straight to the emperor and sat down.
Li Yueyao sat in the seat of the imperial concubine, and the remaining three concubines sat down in order.
When the imperial concubine was brought in, she was still pitiful, like a delicate little white flower in the wind.
After coming in, he saw the little palace maid and Guan Quan, and his heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face.
She walked in gracefully, bowed to the emperor, and prepared to sit down.
Li Yueyao saw this and thought to herself, wow, this person has quite a good mental quality.
The Queen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "My Lady, His Majesty hasn't called you yet?"
After hearing this, the imperial concubine stood back and said timidly, "Your Majesty, I am rude. Please forgive me."
After saying this, she looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes and bit her lower lip lightly, looking pure and charming.
Queen: Humph, your death is approaching, and you still do this.
Xian Fei: This bastard has regressed so much in terms of taste? He actually likes this kind of thing?
Concubine Shu: These spies have only learned the tricks of brothels.
Concubine De: You vixen, with so many people around you, you start to seduce Your Majesty.
Li Yueyao: Pure green tea?
Whenever the imperial concubine acted like this in the past, the emperor would instantly soften his heart and would not blame her no matter how big her mistake was.
But this time, the imperial concubine miscalculated.
The emperor sat at the top, his face as gloomy as water, staring at him with an unfriendly look.
"My Lady, these are the things we found on the guards and maids in front of Longguang Gate. Do you think they look familiar?"
As he said this, he threw the letter paper and the jade token of his oath of eternal love in front of the imperial concubine.
The jade token bounced on the thick Persian carpet on the ground and landed in front of the imperial concubine.
When the imperial concubine saw that the emperor was angry, she knelt down automatically.
He picked up the jade token and took a look at it. It was indeed the thing he had just passed on.
He panicked for a moment, then remembered what Nanny Zhou had taught him. If he refused to admit it, Miaodong would take all the responsibility.
So he pretended to be innocent and said, "Oh, it's the Seaside Vow card."
