Restoration 5
He was not unaware of Chu Weilan's kindness to Yuan Le.
Yuan Le was still naive, but he had already reached the age of falling in love. Chu Weilan was of noble status, as handsome as a banished immortal, and was very kind and gentle to him... Apart from teasing him occasionally, Chu Weilan was really the best person to him besides his parents.
Therefore, even though Yuan Le still didn't understand his specific feelings for Chu Weilan, he already had a lot of trust and reliance on him.
Soon, it was September 18th.
Some people in the Imperial Capital were already spreading the news of the war outside. At this time, everyone was still very calm, thinking that Dongsheng was a big country after all, and even if other small countries were annexed, they would not threaten Dongsheng. What's more, the Imperial Capital was far away from the border, and the people here were still safe.
Emperor Heng also had the same mentality. He had just married a new wife at the beginning of this spring. Now was the time when he was in high spirits. Just after the summer, he wanted to take his harem to the hot spring palace for vacation and indulge in extravagance and debauchery to the end.
As the crown prince, Chu Weilan naturally had to accompany them. After he came back, he asked Yuan Le if he wanted to go to the hot spring palace to soak in the hot springs.
Even if Yuan Le's brain was not very good, he probably realized that there was also an identity issue involved here - the female accompanying relatives could of course be palace maids, but palace maids naturally could not take a hot spring bath. Only women of status and position could do so.
Who was he to the Crown Prince? Behind closed doors, this question could be left vague, but in front of so many royal family members and officials, it certainly had to be made clear.
Yuan Le was a little conflicted. He really hadn't decided yet whether he should stay in the palace and be Chu Weilan's concubine... Yes, he hadn't even thought about the position of concubine, let alone the position of the main wife.
He thought about it for a long time, and finally decided that he liked his parents more.
How long had he been with Chu Weilan? But his parents had loved him for sixteen years, and he couldn't give them up for a man he had only known for a few months. He had promised his parents that he would leave the palace and go home.
After figuring this out, the only thing left was how to reject Chu Weilan.
He didn't dare to refuse directly. After all, he was the prince, second only to the emperor. Who would dare not give him face?
Well, he could only find an excuse to delay going. Anyway, if he hid in the East Palace and didn't go out, no one would know who he was.
"I don't want to go. I have to take off my clothes to go into the water. I'm afraid people will find out that I'm not a palace maid..." This was an excuse Yuan Le came up with after thinking for a long time.
Chu Weilan has his own exclusive bathtub. Even if he takes a step back, he can still send others away and create a private environment for Yuan Le.
Therefore, Yuan Le’s excuse is completely invalid in Chu Weilan’s opinion.
He knew exactly what Yuan Le was planning.
Chu Weilan stared at Yuan Le for a long time, then sighed, "I can indulge you once, but I won't indulge you every time...Have you learned the fire avoidance diagram I gave you last time?"
Yuan Le was terrified.
Chu Weilan patted his head and said, "I'll come back and deal with you."
This is how we avoided this time.
But what Chu Weilan said meant that she wanted him to sleep with her after she came back...
Yuan Le started to feel anxious again, anxious about taking out a loan in advance.
Soon, Emperor Heng went to the palace with his concubines and subordinates.
That night, Chu Weilan was injured - he slipped while going up the mountain and fell off the stone path, injuring his leg, which seemed to be broken.
This information was relayed to Yuan Le by the system, which also comforted him, "Now you don't have to worry about sleeping with me. Chu Weilan has returned, and she'll need at least a month to recover. Furthermore, Chu Weilan is weak, so her recovery might be slow, so we can delay it for another two months."
X responded nonchalantly, "If I delay for two more months, Qi Xun will call me."
The system choked and forgot about it.
Qi Xun is moving quickly. He has already infiltrated the Imperial Capital with his elite assassination team. Two or three months, plus the early planning, will be enough for that idiot to destroy Dongsheng.
The system continued, "By the way, when Qi Xun fell into the water last time, his wound became inflamed and caused a high fever, which damaged his brain."
X, [huh?]
[He has a memory problem, and his memory of molesting you is blurred.]
[Oh?] X's tone was the same, clearly showing interest. [That's good. Since you can't remember it, don't bother me about delivering knives to people.]
system,[……]
The system can now confirm that the host's desire for revenge is really strong!
…
After Chu Weilan returned from the hot spring palace, she did not come to Yuan Le to fulfill the agreement.
With his intelligence, he certainly knew that what happened to him was not an accident. Although his leg was injured, his brain was fine.
Within two days, Emperor Heng's condition worsened, and the crown prince took over as regent. He discovered that Prince Yao was colluding with foreign invaders and intended to murder the crown prince.
"Internal and external troubles, the sky of Dongsheng is about to change." Chu Weilan smiled and placed a piece on the chessboard.
Yuan Le, who was sitting opposite him, stared at the chessboard with a troubled look on his face. "Master, I don't understand..."
Chu Weilan said, "It's okay, I will teach you slowly."
At the end of the game, Chu Weilan lost.
Yuan Le was very happy, but after being happy, he became even more confused.
Chu Weilan could obviously win, but he personally arranged a losing situation for himself. Was it just to make himself happy?
Yuan Le was puzzled, but he knew that he was stupid and he might never understand what was in the minds of smart people.
At the end of October, the first snow of the year fell in Teikyo.
The southern children who saw snow for the first time rolled in the snow and turned into snowmen.
Chu Weilan had difficulty walking, so she didn't accompany him out to have fun. She just sat under the eaves, holding a hand warmer, quietly watching Yuan Le play in the snow.
They had lived in the capital for a long time and were used to seeing snowy days. They didn't think it was strange. Instead, they found it more interesting to see the energetic boy rolling around in the snow.
Yuan Le built a crooked snowman, then waved at Chu Weilan and shouted, "Master, look at me! I built you!"
Chu Weilan took a look at the weird snowman, and the smile on her face began to falter.
But Yuan Le's smile was so bright that Chu Weilan couldn't say anything like "the snowman is ugly."
Finally, he stood up, leaned on his crutch, and walked to Yuan Le, "Then how about I build a Le'er next to me?"
Yuan Le's face flushed red. When she heard this, her eyes were filled with light as she looked at Chu Weilan.
The boy was too pure and clean, which was Chu Weilan's favorite look...
In the darkness, a pair of gloomy eyes stared at the two of them, filled with impatience.
He didn't like seeing these two people so close, that person belonged to him.
Qi Xun set his eyes on Chu Weilan's legs and became more and more certain that the person he was looking for was him.
His memory was problematic, but he remembered that he had fallen in love with someone in Dongsheng East Palace. He seemed to say that his legs hurt, so he helped him massage his legs and thought about taking care of him like this for the rest of his life.
Qi Xun has always hated women, so he never considered the possibility that Yuan Le was the one he was looking for.
At night.
Chu Weilan felt her legs starting to hurt.
He was weak and his external and internal injuries recovered slowly. Today, while trying to build a snowman for Yuan Le, he caught a cold. Now he felt the coldness in the joints of his bones, as if he was being pricked by ice needles.
But he was not the type to show his weaknesses. Even though his legs hurt so much that he couldn't sleep, he didn't call the palace servants in to serve him. He just frowned slightly, stood up and massaged his legs himself.
But after a moment, he suddenly looked somewhere sharply, "Who?"
Chu Weilan didn't like the secret guards getting too close, but with their abilities, they would immediately notice if someone got close to him.
However, the person who sneaked into the room avoided the detection of the secret guards.
Chu Weilan's heart tightened, and he was about to shout for help when a dark shadow quickly flashed in front of him, easily subdued him, and covered his mouth. "How are you, Your Highness?"
The man who came was tall and was a symbol of absolute power.
Chu Weilan guessed the other party's identity almost instantly. After all, although they had never met formally, the two had actually been fighting for several months, and there was a sense of mutual admiration between them.
But no matter what, they are still enemies at the moment, and Qi Xun did not have a good life during the years he was held hostage in Dongsheng.
Although he did not participate in the bullying of him, he did not lend a helping hand and always stood by and watched. Qi Xun hated the Dongsheng royal family, so naturally he would not have any good feelings towards him.
Chu Weilan was just thinking about how to escape when Qi Xun leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Your legs hurt again?"
Chu Weilan:?
He was an extremely smart person and immediately thought of what Yuan Le had said before, about the assassin who helped him massage his legs.
But why would you say such things to him?
Chu Weilan speculated and came up with a possibility.
He asked tentatively, "Your memory?"
Qi Xun said, "It's nothing serious."
Chu Weilan was certain that there was something wrong with Qi Xun's memory.
He lowered his eyes and murmured 'hmm'.
"I help you?"
Chu Weilan smiled and did not refuse... If he could use other people's internal energy to alleviate his pain, why wouldn't he accept it?
With Qi Xun helping him to clear his meridians, Chu Weilan felt much better. He lowered his eyes and looked at the man in front of him, thinking a lot in his mind.
But it's all about how to use his ideas.
Now Qi Xun can enter and exit Dongsheng Palace as if he were in an empty place. So, he should be fully prepared to take over Dongsheng...
Qi Xun was not so reckless this time. He helped Chu Weilan to clear the meridians through her silk underwear. He was very calm and not as distracted as before.
Qi Xun still felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Just when he was lost in thought, Chu Weilan's voice brought him back to his senses.
Chu Weilan said, "When do you plan to attack the palace?"
Qi Xun: “???”
The beautiful woman, who looked like a banished immortal, smiled and said, "I want someone else to sit on the throne."
…
This year has not been easy.
The Dongsheng border defense collapsed, and Tianji's large army pressed into the territory with unstoppable force, heading straight for the imperial capital.
Emperor Heng fell seriously ill and before his death he was still thinking about having his concubines buried with him.
The most ridiculous thing is that when Emperor Heng was critically ill, he still wanted to secretly draft an edict to pass the throne to Prince Rong.
When the Queen learned about this, she went crazy and asked what mistake the Crown Prince Heng had made and why he was deposed?
Emperor Heng said, "Because he's not my son! Do you think I don't know what you were up to when you secretly poisoned him when he was one year old? A bastard, a vicious woman! I, I've long wanted to... I've long wanted to kill you!"
In the end, Emperor Heng couldn't catch his breath and died.
The queen ran out of the palace in fear, thinking that no one had heard the conversation.
Chu Weilan listened to the secret guard's retelling and remained quite calm. After all, he had already known...
What a filthy place.
