Emperor Tianwu felt that the queen's words were full of hidden meanings, but he did not want to ask any more questions, because the arrogance and indifference on the queen's face made him a little angry. Although he had forgotten a lot, he still remembered the real purpose of keeping this woman in the position of queen. Unfortunately, the friendship of the partnership of "pleasant cooperation" for many years was completely forgotten.
Emperor Tianwu waved his hand, turned around and walked a few steps, signaling the two to leave. Zhang Yuan followed the queen and walked away silently, but when the footsteps sounded, Emperor Tianwu turned back and watched the two people go away, feeling very uncomfortable. "Don't follow me, I want to walk alone." He gave an order to the palace servants behind him. No one dared to disobey the order with a cold face.
Finally, Emperor Tianwu got rid of the group of people following him. He relaxed and walked on the road to the palace with a much lighter step.
It seemed like he hadn't had this feeling for a long time. He felt that he had been suppressed for too long. Even with Concubine Yuan by his side, he would still feel suffocated occasionally. That feeling of suffocation came from the heart and had no reason.
As he walked, he occasionally met palace servants, but he waved them away. When he finally stopped, he looked up and found himself standing in front of a large and imposing palace. He was slightly stunned, staring at the palace for a long time without being able to take his eyes off it.
"Yuehan Palace?" These three characters were written on the plaque in front of the palace gate. When Emperor Tianwu read them out, his heart suddenly changed dramatically. The headache came again, and along with it came scenes of the past that were both familiar and unfamiliar, passing through his mind like a play.
Those fragments were a bit scattered, but still very real. He remembered that he and Zhang Yuan stood in front of this gate and sang folk songs; he remembered that he had stopped at this gate countless times, as if the people inside would not let him in; he remembered that this palace had caught fire, and later he personally supervised the reconstruction and cheated many ministers of their money; he also remembered that later he seemed to be able to enter this palace, and he was very close to a woman inside, eating three meals a day together, but not staying overnight. The woman was very beautiful, with an indescribable fairy air on her body, which was definitely not comparable to the vulgar woman like Concubine Yuan.
When this thought came to his mind, Tian Wugui was startled again. Why did he compare Concubine Yuan to a mediocre woman? Wasn't she his favorite concubine? What was wrong with him?
While he was thinking hard, a palace servant passed by the path beside him. Emperor Tianwu waved his hand and called the person to come forward. The eunuch was about to kneel, but was stopped by the emperor, who only asked: "Tell me, who is the person living in Yuehan Palace?"
The eunuch was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said in a daze: "It's Concubine Yun!" Then he looked up at Emperor Tianwu in confusion, his eyes full of doubts.
Emperor Tianwu also figured out what was going on and asked again, "Why? I don't remember who lives in this palace. Is that strange?"
The palace maid nodded and wanted to say something, but didn't dare to. He just stood there with his head down, not saying a word.
"Go ahead!" Emperor Tianwu was too lazy to ask any more questions. He knew what was wrong with him and he also knew that he had forgotten many things in his mind. Sometimes those things appeared very clearly, but they did not last long before fading away again. I guess the people living in this palace were also gradually forgotten by him because of this problem!
The young eunuch lowered his head and retreated. After walking a long way, he looked back, but when he saw Emperor Tianwu still standing there blankly, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Although the emperor's change of temperament was considered obscure in the palace, people knew something about it. He was just a eunuch serving a concubine, and it was difficult for him to see the emperor on weekdays. Today, he passed by this place and went to the garden to pick some plums for the concubine. But who doesn't know about the story between Emperor Tianwu and Concubine Yun! Although it was a bit cruel to the concubines in the palace, it was indeed a good story that everyone in Dashun liked to talk about. An emperor did not love the six palaces but only loved Concubine Yun who refused to see him for more than 20 years. Emperor Tianwu had long been labeled as infatuated because of this. However, the emperor now doesn't even remember Concubine Yun. The eunuch sighed and said that things are really unpredictable. Who would have thought that Concubine Yun would have this day?
"Empress Yun!" Emperor Tianwu recalled the scenes that had just flashed through his mind, and thought of that beautiful woman with a fairy-like aura, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He walked a few steps towards the palace gate, then raised his hand to knock on the door, wondering as he knocked, why was the palace gate so tightly closed in broad daylight?
After knocking for a while, the palace gate was finally opened slowly by the people inside. The person who came out to open the door was a maid in charge. She was a little surprised to see him, but she was not nervous at all. She just bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, may you be well? Concubine Yun is not seeing guests. Please go back, Your Majesty!"
"Huh?" Emperor Tianwu was confused. "Let me go back? Isn't this where Concubine Yun lives? I am the emperor, and I have never heard of a concubine driving the emperor out. Is there any place in this palace that I can't enter?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to push the door and pretended to walk inside.
But the maid in charge knelt down immediately, blocking his way, and said calmly: "If Your Majesty insists on coming in, I can't stop you. But I have received the order from Concubine Yun not to see guests, especially Your Majesty. So, if Your Majesty really wants to force his way in, then I will have to die here. Please step over my body!"
"What did you say?" Emperor Tianwu was shocked. He really didn't expect that there were such slaves in this palace. The Yuehan Palace was too arrogant! He wanted to get angry, but before the anger could get over his head, a headache came again. Emperor Tianwu covered his head with one hand and held the palace gate with his other hand. His expression was very painful.
Seeing this, the kneeling palace maid hurriedly asked: "Is the emperor okay? Do you need me to send someone to call the imperial physician?" After saying that, she glanced back and found that there was no palace maid following him. She couldn't help but be surprised again.
It's not new for Emperor Tianwu to come to Yuehan Palace alone. In the past, when Concubine Yun didn't see him, he often came here alone to make trouble, whether it was day or night, and was particularly willful. But now it's different from before. The emperor is under the control of Concubine Yuan, so how could he come to Yuehan Palace alone? And from what he said just now, it seems that he is very strange about the rules of Yuehan Palace. Could it be that the emperor really forgot everything in the past? Including Concubine Yun?
"No need to call the imperial physician, I'll be fine in a moment." Emperor Tianwu leaned against the palace gate, trying his best not to think about Yuehan Palace, about Concubine Yun, and to clear that beautiful woman from his memory, and then to think about his favorite Concubine Yuan... Finally, the headache was relieved. He let out a long breath, took two steps back, and said to the palace maid, "Since Concubine Yun insists on not seeing me, I won't go in, you guys close the door!"
After he said this, the palace maid of Yuehan Palace didn't show any courtesy at all. She directly closed the gate of the courtyard and bolted it from the inside.
Emperor Tianwu smiled bitterly, wondering why the Yuehan Palace was guarding against him like a thief? Not only was the door closed in broad daylight, but it was also locked. What on earth was it doing?
However, he didn't want to guess any more, fearing that if he thought too much, his headache would come back. But thinking about it again, he began to wonder, why must Concubine Yuan cure this headache? Just now, he felt relieved and his headache was relieved when he thought of Concubine Yuan. Why was that? Could it be that Concubine Yuan was a medicine? I don't even need to take it, I just need to think about it?
The old emperor felt that there was something fishy going on for the first time, and he was wary of Concubine Yuan for the first time. He even had a bold idea: If this continues, he will be addicted to Concubine Yuan. He is the emperor! How can he be addicted to something or someone? No, no, he has to think of a way to get rid of Concubine Yuan's addiction.
On this side, Emperor Tianwu's spirit was somewhat relaxed, but in Prince Sheng's Mansion, Concubine Yuan was terrified when she saw Xuan Tianmo who was ill.
Xuan Tianmo's itch came every day, and it got worse and worse. Since the day before yesterday, the anti-itch medicine given by the imperial physician had no effect. He ordered people to buy various anti-itch medicines outside, and even went to Baicaotang to buy medicine. Unfortunately, the medicines he bought could not stop his itch, so he could not bear it and had to scratch it. And this scratching made the place bloody and blurred. If you don't look carefully, you can hardly see his vitals, which is very shocking.
When Concubine Yuan arrived, Xuan Tianmo was scratching. She watched her son's body and hands covered in blood and screamed in fear.
This call brought Xuan Tianmo back to his senses. He turned his head and saw Concubine Yuan. He shouted, "Mother! Have you checked? Who is harming me?"
Concubine Yuan was so frightened that she almost lost her soul. She came back to her senses after Xuan Tianmo shouted at her. She shook her head blankly and said, "I checked, but I couldn't find anything. I also asked the people in the palace who trained people who knew about things, and it wasn't them who did it."
"Who else could it be?" Xuan Tianmo slapped the bed board hard. His lower body was itchy and he cried and laughed. His hands kept scratching. With a little effort, he actually scratched off a piece of flesh. But he didn't feel any pain at all. He was just itchy. The feeling was worse than death.
Concubine Yuan was also desperate at this moment. She looked at Xuan Tianmo's lower body and thought to herself, "It's over! It's all over!" With such an injury, there was no way to save him. That part was useless, and Xuan Tianmo had no children. Even if he took the throne, it would be in vain. However, it was not absolute. At most, she could adopt a few children, which was not a difficult thing. But she was afraid that Xuan Tianmo would not be able to recover from the pain. Once Xuan Tianmo died, what hope would she have?
As she thought about this, she subconsciously pressed her lower abdomen. This belly was also disappointing, with no movement at all. Whether it was the old emperor's child or the Gu Master's child, she didn't care so much now. She just wanted to make her belly swell up quickly so that she could accomplish her big plan. As for this son in front of her, if it really wasn't possible, she didn't want him.
Xuan Tianmo's eyes immediately caught her action and expression. He was furious and pointed at Concubine Yuan and said loudly, "Don't have any other ideas! I'm telling you, I will definitely get better! I will definitely get better!"
