Chapter 97 Let’s Talk About It Another Day
The candle went out.
One black and one white intertwined, like lovers hugging each other tightly.
The suppressed voice sounded from time to time, making people blush and their hearts beat fast.
A full half hour later.
The room finally returned to silence.
Wen Chuyun was sweating all over, and the effects of the alcohol had mostly dissipated.
A hand reached out from behind and hugged her waist tightly.
She was so frightened that her whole body shuddered and she suddenly pushed the hand away, "Don't touch me!"
"Chu Yun?"
"Get out!"
Wen Chuyun's heart was beating like a drum. The alcohol made her braver, but once the alcohol wore off and her rationality returned, she realized what was happening and felt panic and fear.
If a concubine commits adultery with a man outside her family, it is a capital crime punishable by beheading, and even the Wen family will be implicated!
She was so reckless to do such a thing!
But now everything that was supposed to happen has happened, and it's too late to regret.
She could only stay strong and calm and think of a solution.
Wen Si stood up and put on his clothes slowly. "Chu Yun, I know you drank a lot just now and you don't really have feelings for me. I will protect you in the future and won't let anyone hurt you."
Wen Chuyun thought of Jin Zhi and Bai Wutong. Although the two of them might not have reached this stage yet, she definitely did not want to experience the scene of a three-court trial.
"You must keep today's events to yourself, and don't protect me on your own initiative. Otherwise, if someone finds out, my father is a minister of the imperial court, and I will die, but the entire Wen family will not be executed. If it were you, that might not be the case. If you don't want your entire family to be beheaded, then just pretend nothing happened and get out of here!"
Wen Si turned and left without saying a word.
Cuiwei outside the door had already lost her legs and sat on the ground.
Your Majesty... you finally took this step!
Some things, once done, there is no room for regret.
"Cuiwei, come in."
She supported herself against the wall and moved into the house, "My Lady."
"Don't act like a dead person. No one will know what happened today. Pour out the rest of the wine. I won't drink any more."
After what happened today, Wen Chuyun completely understood what it meant to drink and cause trouble. He actually did such a ridiculous thing!
"Cuiwei, prepare the bath and clean the bed."
"yes."
…
Early spring in March.
The ice and snow are melting.
A distinct hint of green can now be seen on the originally gray-brown land.
Tender buds sprout from the branches, small and tender, which is refreshing.
Duan Chunrou counted the days and thought that today might be one of the few chances for her to sleep with the emperor.
According to the Queen Mother's virtue, if she was not pregnant, she would take over the next one.
In addition to her, there are many new people waiting to sleep with her this time.
Xu Yao from Tianxiang Garden, Zhuang Ting who lived with herself, and Li Ying and Jiang Shuyi who lived in another palace.
The remaining four people are a little worse than me in all aspects, but who knows if one of them will suddenly stand out.
Just like Bai Wutong back then, everyone looked down on her, but she was the most competitive. Not only did the emperor secretly favor her, but she also became pregnant with twins.
Duan Chunrou thought for a moment, prepared one of Bai Wutong's favorite sour snacks, and took it to the Yangxin Palace.
Wang Decai saw that it was her and smiled, "The queen is here, I will go in and inform her."
After a while, a message came from inside asking her to come in.
Duan Chunrou lowered her eyebrows and stepped into the palace. "Your Majesty, I heard that the weather has been dry recently and it is easy to have a poor appetite. I specially made some appetizers today and sent them to you."
"You are thoughtful." Zhang Chengyan just raised his eyes slightly and quickly focused his attention on the memorial.
Duan Chunrou said nothing and put the things down gently.
She knew that she was not as gentle and considerate as Wen Chuyun, nor as bright and generous as the imperial concubine. The only thing she could do was to be tactful and obedient.
a long time.
Zhang Chengyan finally put down his red brush.
Duan Chunrou was very perceptive and immediately stepped forward to start massaging. Her voice was gentle and not harsh, "Your Majesty, my mother has always had headaches for many years. I specially went to learn the appropriate massage techniques."
Her movements were powerful, yet her fingers were soft enough, just right.
Zhang Chengyan couldn't help but relax his brows, "Not bad."
The massage is over.
Duan Chunrou took out the snacks and placed them in front of Zhang Chengyan. "Your Majesty, please try them. I have been relying on these to stimulate my appetite recently. Otherwise, I might not be able to eat much in a day."
A familiar smell and look came into view.
Zhang Chengyan thought of Bai Wutong almost subconsciously.
After she got pregnant, she liked to eat sour food, and this was the one she ate the most.
Every time I go to Zhaochun Palace, I can see it on the table.
Seeing that he hadn't touched his chopsticks for a long time, Duan Chunrou gently picked up a piece and said, "Your Majesty."
Zhang Chengyan opened his mouth and the food melted in his mouth, sweet and sour, just like the days when he and Bai Wutong were together, she was also so delicious and tender.
The pastry breaks into pieces with a light pinch, and Bai Wutong's skin turns red when touched.
"Your Majesty, do you feel your appetite is better?"
"Yeah, much better." Zhang Chengyan waved his hand, signaling her not to feed him anymore. "Have you visited Concubine Zhao recently?"
Duan Chunrou hid her joy and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't been there recently, but my personal maid went there once and brought a gift from Concubine Zhao. I heard that... she has lost some weight again."
Zhang Chengyan stroked the jade ring, wondering whether he should go to see Bai Wutong.
In fact, it had been so long since this happened, and his anger had subsided a lot, but he still had some suspicions. Occasionally he would think of the baby in Bai Wutong's belly. He had a hunch that the child should be his.
But as an emperor, he didn't want to take that step proactively, as if he had to bow his head first.
Duan Chunrou saw that he was hesitating and decided to light one last fire. Success or failure depended on this one move. "Your Majesty, it is spring now and the scenery outside is just beautiful. The female doctor came to check my pulse a few days ago and said that I am a little weak. If I want to be healthy, I have to go out and walk more and can't stay in the house all the time."
She gently took Zhang Chengyan's arm and said, "Your Majesty, if you have time, you should go out more often. I will accompany you."
"Let's talk about it another day."
Although Zhang Chengyan hadn't completely given in, he looked a little relented.
Duan Chunrou decided to stop disturbing him while she was ahead.
As soon as she left the Yangxin Palace, Chun Xing came to greet her, "Your Majesty, you have stayed for so long, the Emperor must have you in his heart."
"Maybe. It will be time for dinner soon. You wait for Chan'er and tell her that the emperor has shown some signs of relenting. Even if he won't go to Zhaochun Palace, he might lift the house arrest. I have done what I should do. Let Sister Zhaopin make the final effort."
Duan Chunrou repeated what she had just said to the emperor, "Remember this, don't forget it."
"My lady, don't worry, I will definitely not forget it."
Chun Xing repeated this to herself over and over again, and arrived early on purpose to catch up with dinner time. Sure enough, she saw Chan'er, "Sister Chan'er, what a coincidence, we meet again. Why don't you wait for me for a while, and we can go back together, so that I won't be scared when it gets dark."
Chan'er understood in her heart that the other party might have something to say, "Okay, then I'll go outside and wait for my sister."
After a while, Chun Xing came out, and the two of them whispered as they walked.
Chan'er quickened her pace and entered Zhaochun Palace with a happy face, but thinking that there were still the emperor's people here, she waited until she was bathing Bai Wutong before whispering, "Your Majesty, the opportunity has come."
