Chapter 154: Stealing the Dragon and the Phoenix 2
Yunshan shook his head vigorously.
But he pulled the quilt covering his body closer to his feet.
"I-I'm fine."
Xiao Fuzi came closer, and she saw the wound on his forehead, and immediately asked with concern:
"What happened to you? Why is your forehead broken?"
Xiao Fuzi raised his hand to wipe the blood away and smiled casually:
"A small injury is nothing. The most important thing is to make the emperor trust us and not see any flaws."
Yunshan wanted to ask more questions, but Xiaofuzi had already chosen another topic.
He straightened his expression and said in a serious tone, "You still say you are fine? If you were fine, you would have changed your clothes and been waiting by the Empress' side a long time ago."
His eyes fell on Yunshan's feet which were covered by the quilt, "But did you sprain your ankle?"
He was so concerned that he reached out to pull the quilt.
But the moment he grabbed the corner of the quilt, his movements froze again.
How can a woman show her beautiful feet in front of a man?
This was related to her daughter's innocence for the rest of her life, so Xiao Fuzi shyly withdrew her hand.
"I'll get you some medicated oil. Rub it on your ankle. If it still hurts, you'll have to call the doctor to take a look."
"How dare you ask the imperial physician to treat me at this time? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble for the queen?" Yunshan blushed, lowered her eyes, and said weakly: "Besides, the imperial physician is a man, and you are also a man. Instead of asking the imperial physician to treat me, it's shameless, why don't you do it for me..."
Hearing this, Xiao Fuzi's heart suddenly trembled.
It turns out...in Yunshan's eyes, he has always been regarded as a man, not a eunuch?
Such respect is extremely rare in the deep palace where people are lonely.
He stared at Yunshan with such eager eyes that the girl felt a little embarrassed.
"What are you looking at? Are you waiting for me to become a cripple so that you can carry me wherever I go?"
"Hahahaha~ Just carry me, you have nothing on your body, and even if I carry you, it's still more difficult than carrying two chicks~"
Xiao Fuzi was laughing as usual, but she made Yunshan very angry with just a few words.
And what about him?
Maybe it was because I laughed too much that I laughed to the point of tears.

That night, Xiao Jingheng stayed in Changle Palace to accompany Song Zhao all night, and left reluctantly until the next day when he went to court.
Later, Jiang Deshun replied to Xiao Jingheng, saying that he had conducted a thorough investigation but could not find out the origin of the oil stain.
This made Xiao Jingheng even more suspicious.
If it is an accident, you can always find out where the oil stain came from.
The fact that it appeared out of nowhere and without any trace like it did now clearly showed that it was not an accident but man-made.
The intrigues in the harem never stopped. When Xiao Jingheng was not convenient to deal with many things, it was always the Queen Mother who established her authority in front of others.
When the concubines went to pay their respects to the Queen today, the Queen Mother also went.
She showed no mercy and said straight to the point:
"I'm going to make it clear to you. If there's any accident with the heir in the harem, or if anyone has the dirty intention of murdering the heir, no matter who it is, don't blame me and the emperor for being merciless!"
Of course, Song Zhao did not hear the Queen Mother's lecture in Kunning Palace.
She was frightened yesterday and didn't sleep well all night, always worried that someone was going to harm her child.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Jingheng allowed her to stay in the palace for a few days to recuperate.
When Yunshan was helping her wash up in the morning, she saw Yunshan limping, so she took her hand and asked her,
"Were you injured yesterday?"
Yun Shantian smiled and shook her head, "It's just a sprained ankle, it's nothing serious."
Xiao Fuzi laughed secretly, "Your Majesty, you don't know that yesterday Yunshan wore your clothes, combed her hair in the same bun as you, pretended to be you and got on the sedan chair, and imitated your voice. She looked exactly like you! She really looked like a proper lady!"
Although both of them were smiling,
But one of them hit his head and the other sprained his foot. Song Zhao saw it and felt bad.
She couldn't laugh anymore.
Instead, he looked at the two of them sincerely and said in a deep voice:
"This is a dangerous matter. Once discovered, it will be a capital crime. You have followed me without regrets. This time, I am making things difficult for you."
Seeing Song Zhaohe being polite to them, they felt uncomfortable.
Xiao Fuzi said hurriedly: "My life was saved by the Majesty, and I am willing to do anything for the Majesty!"
Yunshan also said: "I know I am clumsy and usually can't help you. I am very happy that I can do this well this time!"
It was a good thing, but the silly girl started to cry as she spoke.
"I grew up with the Majesty, and I am extremely happy that the Majesty is doing well! Please don't say such inappropriate things to me anymore..."
Song Zhao scratched Yunshan's nose and coaxed her with a smile, "If I become estranged from you, there will be no one in this world worthy of my closeness. I have never regarded you as my slaves. In my heart, I have already regarded you as my closest people."
Yunshan smiled and nodded, then added: "And the Emperor! The Emperor is also really kind to the Empress."
The smile on Song Zhao's face froze and he remained silent.
Does he deserve it?
Of course I am not worthy of it.
In fact, Song Zhao never left Changle Palace yesterday.
The person who was carried away in the sedan chair was actually Yunshan, who was disguised as Song Zhao.
Generally speaking, when concubines traveled, their sedan chairs would be parked at the palace gate.
But yesterday, Xiao Fuzi deliberately stopped the sedan chair outside the bedroom on the pretext that Song Zhao was pregnant.
Yunshan and Song Zhao are of similar height and are both slender and slim.
The palace servants who carried the sedan chair were not allowed to look directly at their master's forehead.
So she wore Song Zhao's clothes and combed her hair in the same bun as Song Zhao. When she got on the sedan chair, the palace servants carrying the sedan chair would not notice anything even if they caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of their eyes.
As for the inexplicable oil stains on the corridor, they were of course Xiao Fuzi's work.
Jiang Deshun certainly couldn't find it, because even if he searched the entire harem, he wouldn't be able to find Xiao Fuzi.
When the sedan bearer slips on the oil stain and the sedan falls, the little fellow traveling with him will surely be in a panic.
Although he felt that the voice in the sedan did not sound like Song Zhao's, when a person is frightened, the voice itself will change.
And Xiao Fuzi didn't give Xiao Yinzi any time to think.
When something happened, he immediately sent Xiao Yinzi to tell Xiao Jingheng about it, and then ordered people to carry the sedan chair back to the palace.
After returning to the palace, Yunshan took off her clothes and let her hair down. The cat went to the veranda and hid there.
Song Zhao didn't need to do anything. He just had to lie on the bed and pretend to have a stomachache.
In fact, this was not the first time Song Zhao used the strategy of self-torture.
But now is different from the past,
Now that she is pregnant, everything is restricted and she can no longer be as fearless as before.
Later, Xiao Fuzi said in a deep voice:
"Now that the emperor has become suspicious, I think it's time to put the sachet that Your Majesty got from Concubine Shu to use to prove Concubine Shu's guilt, right?"
"No hurry." Song Zhaoqing smiled coldly, his face full of complacency and self-satisfaction as if he had won the game.
"When you hit a snake, you have to hit it at its weakest point. It must be fatal. Otherwise, if it doesn't die, it will bite you instead. Wouldn't that be more than worth it? Since I have chosen to take action this time, I will definitely not leave Shu Fei any room to escape."
She raised her eyebrows and glanced out the window, then ordered:
"Go outside and close the door of Changle Palace. No matter who comes to visit me in the next few days, I will not see them."
