I have lived for most of my life, but I am not as clear-headed as a little baby. I feel ashamed.
After Emperor Jian'an came to his senses, he immediately called the chief eunuch Wang Yun.
"Someone, come and arrange for Concubine Shu to sleep with you tonight!"
Shufei is the mother of the second prince, so it’s time to go and test her out.
[Father, be careful. Concubine Shu is very good at pretending to be weak and bewitching people. You must not be fooled by her! ]
Emperor Jian'an knew that she was worried about him, and touched Su Lili's little head lovingly.
"Don't worry, I know my limits and I'm not that easy to fool."
Before they knew it, night fell and Emperor Jian'an arrived at the Qixia Palace on a sedan chair. Concubine Shu had already burned incense and bathed, and had been waiting in front of the palace gate for a long time.
Seeing Emperor Jian'an, Concubine Shu was delighted and bowed gracefully, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty."
"Okay, let's go back to the palace."
...
...
Emperor Jian'an didn't even look at her. He immediately strode into the bedroom and lay down on the carefully decorated bed with his clothes on.
Shufei's pretty face turned red, and she stretched out her bare hands to undress him, but she was kicked to the ground. She felt a pain in her chest and almost vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty, please have some mercy on me, I am in pain..."
Concubine Shu took a breath, tears welling up in her eyes.
The beauty was charming and seductive, and she was secretly giving him flirtatious glances. If it were in the past, Emperor Jian'an would have lost control of himself long ago.
But now, his son is about to threaten the throne, and no matter how lustful he is, he can no longer have the slightest interest in Concubine Shu.
"Tonight, you will kneel here and serve me. Kneel all the time. You are not allowed to get up unless I agree."
"Yes, I will obey your majesty."
Shufei's voice was delicate and particularly artificial.
Thinking of Su Lili's words, Emperor Jian'an was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore. He closed his eyes and began to snore loudly.
In the dark night, Concubine Shu knelt weakly on the ground, looking at the handsome face of the young emperor, her heart beating wildly.
After all, she had been following him since the palace, so she was certainly familiar with his preferences. She expected him to be abnormal tonight, and perhaps he had come up with something new.
Time passed bit by bit, but Emperor Jian'an never woke up.
Concubine Shu had been kneeling for most of the night, and her legs and feet were numb. Just as she was about to undress and lie down beside Emperor Jian'an, Emperor Jian'an suddenly opened his eyes and kicked her over again.
"How dare you! Did I allow you to get up? What crime should you be punished for disobeying my order?"
Emperor Jian'an frowned in disgust, pinched Concubine Shu's chin tightly with his fingers, and looked at her charming and gaudy makeup as if he was looking at a poisonous snake.
Then, with a splash, the tea that had already cooled on the table was all splashed on her face.
The delicate makeup was blurred and there was no trace of its original appearance at all, and Emperor Jian'an finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Mmm, that's great. Keep kneeling until you figure out where you went wrong!"
Letting go, Emperor Jian'an strode to the big bed and fell asleep for real this time.
Before she knew it, it was daybreak. Concubine Shu had been kneeling all night and she felt as if she had lost the feeling in her legs.
Emperor Jian'an woke up leisurely, supported his chin with one hand, and looked at her with interest, with a teasing look in his eyes.
"Tell me where you went wrong. I'll give you one more chance. Confess and I'll give you leniency, but resist and I'll give you severity."
Mistake? Concubine Shu shuddered all over, knowing that she could no longer hide it, so she could only bow deeply with tears in her eyes and kowtow three times to Emperor Jian'an.
"I should never have taught my father and brother to embezzle money, nor should I have allowed the maids to steal your Majesty's rewards out of the palace and sell them. I should not have allowed the Second Prince Su Yu to be ignorant and hurt your Majesty's heart."
"But!" Concubine Shu choked up, paused and said, "But Yu'er and I have a sincere heart for Your Majesty, please understand!"
A sincere and innocent heart? Perhaps it is a rebellious heart!
Emperor Jian'an sneered in his heart, but did not show it on his face. "Okay, I understand. All the money that was embezzled must be used to make up for the deficit, and then..."
Then, I will eliminate this traitor and send you and your entire family to hell!
"Yes, I will follow your majesty's orders. I will pay you back and make amends!"
Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down and kowtowed, but before she stood up, she heard Emperor Jian'an pause and speak again.
"Besides this, think about where you went wrong. If you can't figure it out, I will punish you in addition. I will make sure you pay the price!"
And? Did Your Majesty discover something?
No, Yuer did it very secretly, there is absolutely no way she would be exposed!
"I'll give you some time to think it over carefully! Just take care of yourself!"
After taking Su Lili handed to him by the palace maid, Emperor Jian'an finally showed a hint of tenderness in his eyes. He then held the baby in his arms, got on the sedan chair, and went towards the main hall.
The time was almost up, and he had to go to court to handle government affairs. He had no time to waste here dealing with a vicious woman.
[Father is so domineering and majestic. It would be even better if I could go to the Second Prince's Mansion tonight! ]
[The evidence of treason is hidden in the second prince's house. After dealing with the second prince, the next person to be exposed is the general who protects the country! He is the real culprit! ]
Hearing Su Lili's thoughts, Emperor Jian'an couldn't help but sit up straight and look at Wang Yun who was accompanying the sedan chair.
"Tonight, I will secretly go to the Second Prince's residence. Get ready to go down, and don't let the news leak out."
"Yes, I understand. I will go down and prepare now."
After receiving the order, Wang Yun did not dare to delay for a moment and left in a hurry alone.
Although, I don't know why His Majesty suddenly cares about the Second Prince again, but he is just a servant. As a servant, I cannot presume to guess what my master is thinking. I just need to do what he is told.
[Haha, the second prince is going to be in trouble. He is going to be in big trouble. He who does evil will eventually suffer the consequences! ]
[The general who protects the country will not live long. Losing the support of the second prince is like losing his left and right arms. He doesn't even think about whether he will shorten his life if the prince is tricked into being used as a pawn by him!]
What? The Second Prince was deceived? This stupid boy who is not worthy of being on the stage!
What you hear is not as good as what you see. Tonight is the moment that decides his fate.
Emperor Jian'an pinched Su Lili's little face. His hands felt soft and slightly warm, and his bad mood seemed to be cured a lot.
Alas, his daughter is so caring and is his indispensable little cotton-padded jacket. She is much more capable than those bad boys!
If the throne was not passed down from father to son, he should have designated Su Lili as the crown prince long ago. Presumably, she would have become a wise ruler and brought benefits to the people of Dayong.
Soon, the morning court ended, and then, it was finally dusk.
The luxurious carriage drove out of the palace and stopped in front of a majestic mansion. The tall and graceful Emperor Jian'an walked forward step by step, holding the baby in his arms.
