Chapter 318 The Skinny Horse from Yangzhou Sent to Disrupt the Country (15)
Qingwu noticed something different again.
Although Shi Wenjin looked so at ease and had many beauties in her harem, she showed a bit of haste and uneasiness in actual operation.
Even because of Qingwu's learning since childhood, Qingwu discovered that she was the one who actually held the sovereignty.
Shi Wenjin really fell without reservation.
"Awu..." Shi Wenjin's voice was a little embarrassed.
“This is the first time I’ve done something like this…”
Qingwu chuckled, as expected.
Shi Wenjin was really completely exposed.
Although she is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.
But if you are facing such a young, handsome and clean king.
Qingwu will be even happier.
and......
She didn't agree.
She wants to be the chess player, but it is her own chess game.
She doesn't like submission, nor does she like collusion.
Whether it is Shi Yanqing or Shi Wenjin.
——will all become her pawns.
Help her achieve her goals.
Shi Wenjin was wrong.
He was an emperor, but he did not hold his position firmly.
Qingwu also requires stability.
One more way means one more profit.
......
7 days, 7 consecutive days.
During the past seven days, Shi Wenjin had spent all his time in the imperial concubine's Weiyang Palace except for the morning court session.
During the morning court session, he, who was usually gentle, showed a rare look of contentment and even a bit of smugness.
Unlike the calmness of the past, it even has a bit of evil and romantic charm, which makes people feel a little scared.
The crown prince who used to be timid in the cold palace seemed to have really grown into an emperor who was mature in every gesture.
And the Regent...cancelled the morning court session for seven consecutive days.
On the night Qingwu entered the palace, several batches of fine porcelain were broken in the Regent's Palace.
The Regent has been in a very bad mood recently, and this is something all his staff and subordinates know.
But the emperor was in a very good mood.
The imperial concubine was the only one favored, the most favored among all the palaces, and enjoyed unlimited glory.
On the eighth day, the emperor still visited the Weiyang Palace.
Some people who advised the emperor to be fair and just happened to be caught by Shi Wenjin. He dismissed and investigated these people on the grounds of interfering in the emperor's private affairs.
Shi Wenjin took advantage of this opportunity to naturally eliminate all the forces that colluded with each other between the former dynasty and the harem.
He also took this opportunity to send most of the concubines out of the palace.
This series of actions was swift and ruthless.
What is surprising is that the regent Shi Yanqing, who always opposed the emperor's edicts, unexpectedly went against his usual behavior and did not stop it.
Because those people made Qingwu unhappy and blocked Qingwu's way.
God knows how angry he was when he found out that someone so ignorant had made trouble in front of Qingwu.
He was reluctant to speak harshly of the beauty, so why should she be spoken of that way by those who had never even seen her.
Therefore, Shi Yanqing tacitly agreed to Shi Wenjin's behavior of eliminating dissidents.
He also knew that something was out of control, but he was not someone to be trifled with.
Shi Yanqing suspected that Shi Wenjin did it on purpose.
Deliberately showing him how much he "dotes" Qingwu.
But......
Shi Wenjin only stole his treasure temporarily.
Shi Yanqing sneered.
The recent exposure of his outspokenness has made Shi Wenjin the target of public criticism.
All the concubines in the palace are constraints on the emperor. If one of them is touched, the whole body will be affected.
Even if it couldn't cause any substantial damage to Shi Wenjin, it would be more than enough to hold him back.
Shi Wenjin has been trapped in the meeting hall for two consecutive days because of handling official business.
He had no time to take care of the harem, let alone meet Qingwu.
Today is already the third day, but Qingwu doesn't care about it at all.
She could take this opportunity to have a good rest and think about her next arrangements.
until......
The ticking of the copper clock makes a distant sound.
Qingwu's eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked at the twin lotus flowers embroidered with gold thread on the ceiling of the tent. Suddenly, she heard a slight creaking of the window frame...
It wasn't the wind, but the sound of silver buckles rubbing against each other.
......Someone came to Weiyang Palace.
The fragrance of agarwood drifted in the air, mixed with the coolness of the night dew, and slowly penetrated into the nose.
This smell is so familiar.
It was the agarwood that she often smelled in the Regent's Palace.
The moon-white nightgown was as smooth as silk and slid gently over the elbows.
Qingwu sat up, and the breeze she brought lifted the gauze curtain, making the candlelight flicker in an instant.
The candlelight on the gilded candlestick flickered, casting the silhouette of the man as cold and sharp as a drawn sword.
He stood quietly in front of the window, his purple cloak stained with the moisture of the night fog, but the jade pendant around his waist still shone with a warm luster.
"My Lord..." Qingwu spoke with a slight tremor in her voice.
The bronze mirror reflected half of her face, and she still had the Dongzhu hairpin that Shi Wenjin had put on her at her temples, which shone coldly in the darkness.
Shi Yanqing paused slightly, then he took off his cloak and threw it casually on the armchair, revealing the gold-plated and silver-inlaid sword at his waist.
When he raised his eyes, Qingwu finally saw those eyes clearly——
Those were a pair of phoenix eyes like Shi Wenjin's, but they were as cold and sharp as ice spikes frozen in a deep pool.
When his eyes swept over the red mark on Qingwu's neck that had not yet completely faded, the water in the pool seemed to suddenly surge.
Looking closely, Shi Yanqing and Shi Wenjin are indeed brothers.
The two of them do look somewhat similar.
It’s just that Shi Wenjin is gentle, while Shi Yanqing is cold and stern, and his aura is even sharper.
As the new moon rose, the gauze curtains of the bedroom swayed gently in the night breeze. The thin nightgown wrapped loosely around her body, revealing a piece of her snow-white neck, which glowed softly like mother-of-pearl under the candlelight.
The filigree pearl pendant swayed slightly with the movement, casting tiny shadows on the cheek, like a handful of diamonds scattered in the moonlight.
Shi Yanqing walked towards Qingwu step by step. The golden python pattern on the purple brocade robe was faintly visible in the shadows, and the jade belt buckle at his waist was shining with a cold light.
Her filigree pearl pendant swayed gently with her movements, casting tiny shadows on her cheeks like sparkling diamonds in the night sky.
Qingwu raised her eyes and met Shi Yanqing's gaze.
He lowered his eyes and stared at his half-loose black hair, his Adam's apple rolling slightly, like a beast staring at its prey.
"Awu." Shi Yanqing suddenly spoke, his voice as low as jade soaked in ice water.
There was no one else in the hall except the two of them, and the candlelight flickered in the night wind.
The scent of fine agarwood came closer.
