Chapter 92 The Emperor is Coming

After the palace coup, the weather suddenly turned cold. That day there was the first heavy snowfall since the beginning of winter, and the whole Da'an was covered in white.

Xia Xuewo went into the house, wrapped in a thick cloak, and sat around the stove.

Ever since she was bitten by a snake, her body had become much weaker. Even during the coldest days of winter, she used to only need two stoves in the house, but now she has five.

Moreover, the five stoves were burning silver-wire carbon purchased specially from the palace.

The palace also suffered a major change, and its own supplies were insufficient, but the emperor specifically ordered that as long as the prime minister's residence needed it, it would be supplied first, which caused great dissatisfaction among the concubines above the fifth rank.

Xia Xue ignored him.

After Prince Lu was captured, he had been talking crazily in the prison. No one knew what had happened on the night of the rebellion, or which lady in the palace had fabricated the story about him. Anyway, after the coup, rumors spread that the current emperor had a crush on the prime minister's wife and had been having an affair with her for a long time.

Chu Zhenxuan deliberately blocked out these disturbing news and strictly ordered her servants not to gossip about them, but Chu Zhenxuan forgot that she had her own spies!

There is also another saying that Xia Xue had known for a long time that Chu Yun was the eldest prince, so she used this to seduce the emperor.

In addition, the emperor's concubines who were infected with Zi Gu were all enduring excruciating pain every night, and the emperor never gave them a drop of blood. Only Xia Xue had been supplying them on time and in full quantity.

It's really hard to explain why the emperor used his blood to give her life.

Xia Xue sighed, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of ginger tea. It had been a long time since she had seen any tea other than ginger tea in her tea bowl.

"Miss, the emperor has come to the prime minister's residence." Meng Ya's panicked voice came from outside the door.

"The Prime Minister has gone to the military camp. You go and report it." Out of instinct, Xia Xue still wanted to avoid him when Chu Zhenxuan was not around.

"But~" Meng Ya hesitated to speak.

"What happened?"

"The Emperor came straight to Floating Cloud Pavilion and is already at the door."

Xia Xue rolled her eyes and put down the hand warmer in her hand. "Then please go to the front hall."

As soon as Xia Xue finished speaking, the door to the inner room was pushed open.

"Why, Madam Chu doesn't seem to welcome me?"

Xia Xue was startled, Yang Junyi had already walked in.

When Yang Junyi saw Xia Xue's face, he was suddenly stunned.

OMG! Where is my veil? Where is my beauty mask? Where is my fake clothes?

This dog emperor is really idle and has nothing to do!

Yang Junyi:!!!

Yang Junyi: I'm here to give you blood, okay? You don't know how kind people are!

Yang Junyi: +20.

Xia Xue: ...

Last time it was 5, now it has jumped to 20, what's going on?!

Could it be that this dog emperor really has any improper thoughts about me as the outside world has rumored?

It’s okay. If he dares to have any thoughts about me, I’ll beat him to a pulp!

Yang Junyi: Are you too confident? I have three thousand concubines. If I hadn't seen that you were sincere to Yun'er and Prime Minister Chu had saved the emperor, I would not have wasted my blood!

Yang Junyi: +20+20+20.

Looking at the hair rising from Yang Junyi's head, Xia Xue curled her lips.

He's so stingy! He must have remembered the time I played a trick on him the first time we met, so he started giving him negative points as soon as he saw me!

After all, I am loved by everyone and flowers bloom when I see them. Although I look a little haggard now, I still have the same charm as before.

Yang Junyi looked at the charcoal dust on Xia Xue's cheeks and sneered, saying that she was really "loved by everyone". He didn't know what Chu Zhenxuan's taste was.

Suddenly, Yang Junyi thought of an important question. What did she say just now? First meeting?

Yang Junyi tried hard to recall.

After a while, Yang Junyi put on a half-smile, it turned out to be you!

"Mrs. Chu, we meet again!"

Who wants to meet you?

Xia Xue put on a bright smile.

"It is a blessing for me to meet the emperor."

It’s best not to have this kind of blessing again!

The corners of Yang Junyi's mouth twitched.

"I am so blind that I only recognized Madam Chu after seeing her so many times!"

Yeah, you're stupid!

"What is your Majesty saying? I don't understand."

"Um?"

Yang Junyi took a step forward and said, "In 'Fu Man Lou', Madam Chu, do I need to help you recall it in more detail?"

What if it's detailed? What if it's not detailed? I'm refusing to admit it, are you biting me?

If you have the guts, produce evidence. If you don’t have evidence, I’ll make you die of rage!

Forget it, don’t get so angry that you die. Keep a breath. After all, you still have to drink his blood now.

Yang Junyi: ...

Yang Junyi: So I am just a blood bank now?

Yang Junyi: +20+20+20.

Xia Xue stared at the golden light above Yang Junyi's head and snorted in her heart.

What a stingy man!

Yang Junyi leaned forward slowly and spoke slowly, "That day, at Fu Man Lou, Madam Chu, you~"

"Your Majesty!" Xia Xue took a step back. "The Prime Minister has gone to the outskirts of the capital and has not returned yet. It is not appropriate for me to be in the same room with Your Majesty. I have been educated in etiquette. Although I will not cry or make a scene, I will feel guilty for seeing a man other than my husband alone."

I think I have made it clear. I am shy and embarrassed to be in the same room with you.

The corner of Yang Junyi's mouth twitched fiercely, "Madam, you are so shameless!"

Xia Xue's eyelids twitched, and she always felt that there was something else behind Yang Junyi's words.

Why do I feel like he is mocking me?

It must be an illusion, I am so popular with everyone.

Yang Junyi: I shouldn’t have come!

At this time, the butler's voice came from outside the door, saying that Your Majesty was asked to move to the front hall, as the Prime Minister had returned.

Yang Junyi left a meaningful smile and walked out of Xia Xue's room.

The moment the door opened, the cold wind from outside blew in, carrying snowflakes with it, and the air instantly became cool.

Maybe it was the look in Yang Junyi's eyes when he left, or the sudden cold wind, that made Xia Xue shiver.

About half an incense stick of time after Yang Junyi left, the housekeeper came to invite her again.

Xia Xue changed into a lake blue palace dress and cleansed her face. Only then did she realize that there was a lot of carbon dust on her face.

Xia Xue’s eyes almost popped out of her head. No wonder the emperor wanted to laugh but didn’t just now. Don’t hold it in and get internal injuries!

After dawdling for more than half an hour, Xia Xue arrived at the front hall and found that the table was already filled with food, and her father was there too!

"Father?"

Xia Zhi nodded and motioned Xia Xue to pay her respects to the emperor first.

Xia Xue bowed reluctantly, "Your Highness!"

Why are you coming to my house if you have nothing to do? You have to be polite even if you want to have a meal.

Both Yang Junyi and Chu Zhenxuan heard the sound of "ripping".

Yang Junyi glanced at Chu Zhenxuan, and Chu Zhenxuan did not look up. It seemed that the same situation happened when Chu Zhenxuan was there before?

Could it be that Chu Zhenxuan could also hear what this woman was thinking?

Chu Zhenxuan, with his head down, was also thinking about the same question: Why was there always such a strange sound in his ears when the emperor was around?
