Chapter 183 I Don’t Believe It
Everyone probably has times when they can't control themselves.
Murong Yu couldn't explain why he walked into the peach blossom forest today, nor could he explain why he subconsciously walked here after seeing the tree with red ribbons.
He couldn't even explain what he felt when he saw Pei Shu crying.
Since Pei Shu entered the palace, he had never seen her cry, except when Pei Shu cried in front of him when the Pei family fell.
But now, as she looked at the needle and thread in her hands, tears fell down her face.
He blurted out and asked her why she was crying.
After asking this question, Murong Yu realized that they had not spoken to each other for more than ten years.
"emperor?"
Pei Shu looked up and saw Murong Yu, her face full of surprise and tears rolling down her cheeks.
Hibiscus emerges from the water.
Pei Shu suddenly bit her lip and took a breath.
The tip of my finger was pricked by the needle and blood oozed out.
The drop of blood fell on the red ribbon, leaving a dark mark.
"I ask you, why are you crying?" Murong Yu walked into the hall.
Pei Shu and Dong Yue put down what they were holding and knelt in front of Murong Yu to pay their respects.
Pei Shu lowered her head: "Your Majesty, I greet you."
Another drop of blood appeared on her fingertip, and it looked even brighter red against her pale finger.
A cloud of rain gathered between Murong Yu's brows;
"Wang Miao, call the imperial physician."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Wang immediately sent someone to do it.
Eunuch Wang walked out of the palace and asked his godson Xiao Liu to rush to the Imperial Hospital:
"If you want to run, run!"
Eunuch Liu was confused: "Godfather, Concubine Hui only broke a finger, is there any need to be so anxious?"
Wang the eunuch slapped Xiao Liu on the forehead and cursed in a low voice:
"You idiot! The urgency doesn't depend on the severity of the injury, but on the Emperor's expression. Didn't you hear the Emperor's tone just now? Even if Concubine Hui wasn't injured, you would have rushed to call the imperial physician!"
Eunuch Xiao Liu was slapped and ran away.
Inside the hall.
Murong Yu looked down at Pei Shu:
"Who are you praying for?"
Pei Shu hasn't spoken yet.
Murong Yu suddenly shouted before Pei Shu could speak:
"Are you praying for the traitor? I spared your life back then, which was a mercy. Are you still resentful of me?"
Dongyue crawled over and begged:
"Your Majesty, the Empress is praying for your Majesty. Ever since I arrived at Minghui Palace, I have seen the Empress embroidering silk ribbons for your Majesty."
Dongyue cried exaggeratedly at the top of her lungs:
"Your Majesty embroiders from spring to winter, even when your hands are frozen and sore. Your Majesty... Why won't you tell me..."
Murong Yu kicked Dong Yue away and stared at Pei Shu:
"I want to hear you. Why are you crying? Who are you praying for?"
"If I tell you, I'm afraid the emperor won't believe it."
Pei Shu raised her head and looked at him with a pair of clear and sad eyes.
Murong Yu almost couldn't stand when Pei Shu looked at him:
"I asked you to speak."
Pei Shu's eyes were filled with admiration and sadness:
"I have never resented Your Majesty, nor have I ever intended to embarrass Him, which is why I have remained secluded in the palace all these years. However, I am concerned for Your Majesty's safety, and since Your Majesty's birthday is approaching, I am hanging a ribbon to pray for His blessing."
He ascended the throne at the age of fifteen and has been on the throne for twenty-one years. Now he is thirty-six, and his zodiac year is approaching.
It is often said among the people that if one offends Tai Sui in his birth year, Tai Sui will be sitting on his head, and there will be no joy but only disaster, so he needs to pray for blessings to eliminate disasters.
Although he is over 30 years old, he has lived a life of luxury for many years. If you just look at his appearance, you can say that he is dignified and noble.
When Murong Yu straightened his clothes in front of the mirror, he sometimes felt that he was still in his twenties.
Pei Shu's lips were pale:
"I said, Your Majesty, can you trust me?"
Myeonghye Palace is small, dark and damp.
The beautiful woman knelt on the ground, her gray skirt spread out like a half-opened flower.
Another tear rolled down the corner of her cold eyes.
Like a mermaid streaming pearls towards the moon.
Murong Yu's Adam's apple rolled, and his hands behind his back clenched into fists again:
"I don't believe it!"
He doesn't believe it.
He told himself that he couldn't believe it.
He had to leave immediately, otherwise, he would lose his heart for this woman again.
Murong Yu flicked his sleeves and left.
Dong Yue watched Murong Yu lead his men out of the hall and out of the yard. She turned her head and asked:
"Mother?"
Pei Shu shook her head and signaled Dongyue not to speak.
Pei Shu still remained kneeling on the ground.
A gust of wind blew.
A tall shadow was blown into the hall.
The king who had just left actually strode back.
"Everyone get out."
Murong Yu's forehead veins throbbed, and he bent down to pick up Pei Shu from the ground.
His voice was as deep as a pool:
"Pei Shu, let me ask you one last time, was there a single lie you said just now?"
Pei Shu stared at Murong Yu with her watery eyes.
Everyone in the Pei family has a pair of eyes that can speak.
Pei Shu didn't need to say anything, her eyes answered everything.
She was in Murong Yu's arms, her jade-white arms slowly wrapped around Murong Yu's neck, and she called out softly:
"Saburo."
Murong Yu's arms suddenly tightened...
The gate of Myeonghye Palace was closed.
Dongyue was holding Chujiu and standing outside the door with a group of people.
The sky above suddenly darkened, dark clouds gathered, and strong winds blew.
The ribbons on the trees in the yard were trembling.
Thunder roared and heavy rain poured down.
The first thunderstorm of summer came suddenly.
The precious bonsai in the Yifeng Palace was almost damaged by the water, and the palace servants hurried to shelter the bonsai from the rain.
A young palace maid hurried through the rain curtain and entered the hall to report:
"Empress, the Emperor went to Minghui Palace today and stayed there for an hour. He hasn't come out yet."
The queen was half lying on the couch, looking at the account books.
Hearing this, she paused flipping through the account book.
"It's been two months, and I thought Pei Shu's trick was useless. I didn't expect that she would actually recruit the Emperor today. Pei Shu, she really has some skills."
A triumphant smile appeared on the queen's face, mixed with bitterness and unwillingness.
It's like half of the face is smiling and the other half is hating.
"How is the situation with the King of Yue? Is there any movement?" The Queen turned to ask Nanny Dong.
Nanny Dong said, "Your Majesty, the King of Yue went to the red-light district and bought a few prostitutes before the New Year. After the New Year, he often hung out with these prostitutes in the courtyard. Two of them were sent by the King of Chu."
When the Queen heard that Murong Di was enjoying himself in the mansion all day long, she sneered in disdain at first, but when she heard the next sentence, her face turned cold again.
"Qi'er gave it to me?"
Nanny Dong: "Yes, I heard that when the King of Yue was buying women in the brothel, he ran into the King of Chu, and the King of Chu gave the King of Yue two beauties."
The Queen took a deep breath and pursed her lips:
"What a useless thing! He hasn't made any progress in just one year."
…
Prince of Yue's Palace.
Hu Xin brought people with food and asked for an audience outside the house:
"My Lord, please allow me to go in and serve you."
squeak--
The door opened.
Cui Xiaoxiao was wearing a gauze dress, with her shoulders half exposed, and she leaned against the door frame seductively:
"Sister Xin, the prince said he didn't need your servants. I'm enough for today. Give me the food and I'll take it in."
Hu Xin frowned at the makeup on Cui Xiaoxiao's body:
"The prince hasn't left the house since yesterday, so we naturally came to see if he's feeling unwell."
"The prince is fine," Cui Xiaoxiao smiled, covering her lips with her hands. "Why? Sister Xin doesn't believe me?"
Hu Xin glared at Cui Xiaoxiao:
"Who's talking to you, sister? Put away your coquettish attitude. With your background, you're not even worthy of being the prince's concubine."
After saying this, Hu Xin was about to push Cui Xiaoxiao away.
At this moment a voice came from the room:
"Get out! Don't disturb the king!"
Hu Xin stopped walking.
Then, Murong Di shouted:
"If you don't get out of here, you'll get thirty lashes!"
Cui Xiaoxiao leaned against the door, smiling softly:
"If Sister Xin doesn't leave now, she'll be whipped."
Hu Xin looked through the window paper and vaguely saw Murong Di getting up. He could only say:
"Your Highness, please calm down. I will withdraw now."
Cui Xiaoxiao took the meal from Hu Xin and watched them walk out of the yard before closing the door with her foot.
As soon as she closed the door, she put down the things in her hands, covered her heart and took a long breath.
She looked at the two people in the house who were covered in mud and said nervously:
"If you come back any later, you'll be exposed!"
