Chapter 126 True Feelings and False Intentions
The lake was calm, and after the words were spoken, even the sounds inside the cabin stopped.
In the silence, a crane bird fell from the sky, its sharp claws rested on a lotus leaf, and ripples appeared on the calm lake surface.
Chen Fu looked at the bird that was catching fish. After seeing it pick up a koi from the lake, she suddenly came to her senses.
She seemed to have forgotten something.
Shen Fu blinked, but before she could think it through completely, the Emperor in front of her could no longer bear it.
He was already very close, and with another step forward he was already in front of Shen Fu. His Majesty pinched Shen Fu's chin, tightening his palms, and his eyes seemed to rush into her eyes.
"Chen Fu, why aren't you jealous?"
This time, His Majesty's voice became even more fierce, and his eyes were even more cold. He looked at the person in front of him very calmly, trying to find some flaws in Shen Fu's eyes.
Chen Fu's heart was in turmoil after hearing this...
She finally remembered that she seemed to have forgotten something.
Ever since she started getting entangled with His Majesty, she has been acting like a foolish woman.
The love for His Majesty is detailed to every word, every look, and even every move.
Chen Fu was always attentive, acting as someone who loved His Majesty and was devoted to him.
Sometimes, while acting, she even took it seriously. They are too familiar with each other, so they can easily say sweet words to the Emperor and act coquettishly and cutely.
But fake is still fake after all, and is different from the real thing.
Chen Fu pretended to love His Majesty, and she said many affectionate words and did a lot of cute and coquettish things.
But she forgot that liking a man is not just about these aspects.
When you truly like someone, besides liking them, you also want to possess them.
Even more jealous.
Just like what Chen Fu did just now, letting him go to another woman without any expression, is very different from the infatuated woman she had previously portrayed who had him in her heart and was devoted to him.
Shen Fu's chin was grabbed, and even without looking up, she could feel the Emperor's eyes on her head.
That sharp gaze seemed to have no warmth at all, and the cold eyes hit her face fiercely.
Under her sleeves, Shen Fu's hands trembled uncontrollably.
She forgot about it while acting and got too carried away with herself, so she missed the opportunity and caused such a huge disaster.
"Shen Fu."
She didn't speak for a long time, and the Emperor had obviously lost his patience. There was a coldness in those dark eyes, and they were cold the moment they looked at Shen Fu.
"I'm asking you a question!"
His Majesty's voice was so cold that it seemed like it could freeze a person instantly. Lin An, who had just returned from sending Lady Ying back, was frightened and shuddered all over.
He raised his head in surprise and looked forward, then stood still, not daring to move.
Shen Fu raised her head and looked at the fierce gaze of His Majesty. He could still pretend to be calm on the surface, but his heart was already turbulent.
If His Majesty knew, everything she had done before was fake. With His Majesty's temper, let alone doting on her, I'm afraid that Shen Fu will fall into an endless hell from now on.
She couldn't, she absolutely couldn't let His Majesty know that everything she had done before was just false.
"My concubine..." His Majesty is now very close, and Shen Fu's mind is racing.
No matter what happens, I can get through this hurdle today.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty doesn't know." The Emperor was already furious. After hearing what Shen Fu said, he was furious.
The jaw that was holding Shen Fu tightened: "Good job!"
Xiao Yu gritted his teeth when he said this, and looked into Chen Fu's eyes with cold and sharp eyes. The words in her throat seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth one by one: "Good job, Shen Fu!"
Xiao Yu seemed to be mad at this moment.
He gripped Shen Fu's jaw fiercely, tightening his fingertips so hard that they almost trembled.
"Chen Fu, what on earth are you thinking about!"
His Majesty's fingertips fell on her chin, as if he wanted to crush her.
Shen Fu frowned in pain, but the next moment she felt the hand holding her jaw loosen.
Xiao Yu gave him a fierce look, then turned away and was about to leave.
Shen Fu's jaw ached terribly, but she didn't even dare to stretch out her hand. She looked at the Emperor's back and felt extremely panicked.
She really didn't expect that she would miss a trap in this regard. Even someone as smart as Chen Fu was helpless at this moment.
I could only watch His Majesty disappear from my sight.
"My lady." Only after His Majesty left did Manager Zhou dare to come forward.
He moved forward reluctantly, but his face was pale.
I was far away and only heard a few words by chance, but the Emperor's anger was real.
This young lady had no idea how she had offended His Majesty that he became so angry.
"My lord, I will take you back."
Chen Fu stood behind him, watching the Emperor's angry figure disappear before his eyes. Then he gradually withdrew his gaze.
"Let's go." She took a step forward, but maybe because she was afraid, her knees went weak as soon as she took a step forward.
"My lady." Just as Shen Fu was about to fall, Manager Zhou suddenly stepped forward and held her steady.
"My lord, I will take you back."
Two maids followed behind. Manager Zhou didn't know where Chen Fu lived, so after thinking for a while, he sent her directly to Yuqing Palace.
Yesterday, Chen Fu was still very shy when she lived in the Yuqing Palace, but today, she had a different mood when she lived here again.
Chen Fu sat on the soft couch in Yuqing Palace, feeling uneasy.
I looked towards the door from time to time, but until dark, the Emperor had not come.
"My lady, please have your meal and rest early." The maid stepped forward to comfort her, "The Emperor will not come tonight."
Shen Fu knew that His Majesty would not come tonight, but when she really heard this, she felt differently.
Seeing His Majesty's angry look in the daytime, Shen Fu curled up her palms and suddenly asked, "Did His Majesty go to Lady Ying?"
The palace maid's face suddenly changed, but facing Shen Fu's gaze, she still didn't dare to lie.
Nodded: "Yes."
She seemed to think that Shen Fu looked too pitiful, and comforted her: "My lady, don't think too much, the Emperor will come sooner or later."
Chen Fu would not let her mind wander, because she knew in her heart that the more panicked she was at this moment, the more likely she would make mistakes.
After all, His Majesty was not angry about anything else, but was angry because she had never been jealous.
When Shen Fu first encountered this incident yesterday, she was so panicked that she didn't solve it perfectly in the first place.
But after thinking about it carefully for a night, she finally figured it out. Why would His Majesty really care about this matter?
Doesn’t this just prove that the reason His Majesty cares about her is because he has her in his heart?
When Shen Fu thought of this result, she couldn't help but feel excited. If this is true, it may not necessarily be a bad thing for Shen Fu.
********
Chen Fu was calming down there, while Yingmei in the Hexiang Courtyard was in high spirits.
She looked at the Emperor standing at the door, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
"Your Majesty?" She had just seen His Majesty during the day, and at night He actually came to her room?
The beautiful Ying was really in disbelief. She raised her hand and twisted her leg hard. When she felt the pain, she jumped for joy and went to meet him happily.
"Your Majesty, please, please come in quickly." Lady Ying hurriedly went up to greet him, pulled Your Majesty's sleeve and hurried to her room.
"I didn't expect His Majesty to come. The room is a little messy. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The beautiful lady Ying's voice is so soft that it seems like water could drip out of it.
This really surprised her.
During the day, I saw His Majesty and that Chen Ronghua, flirting with each other.
When she looked at Shen Ronghua's beautiful face, she knew she had no chance.
When he came back, he was planning to send someone to find out who this Shen Ronghua was.
But unexpectedly, before anyone was sent out, the Emperor came to her room.
The beautiful lady Ying was happy and contented. It seems that this Shen Ronghua is not that great either.
So what if she had a face like that? Didn’t His Majesty still abandon her and come to his own room?
Lady Ying was very proud. Seeing His Majesty, she couldn't help but hold up the tea and offer it to him: "Your Majesty, please have some tea."
"Your Majesty, you must be tired after walking all this way. Let me give you a leg massage."
She was both proud and attentive. I never saw the Emperor's dark face at all.
Xiao Yu came out of the cabin and went straight to Ying Meiren, intending to use her to annoy Chen Fu.
But I didn't expect that the beautiful oriole chirped like a bird.
He was very annoyed, but didn't want to go out. Chen Fu was probably still waiting for him to go to Yuqing Palace at this time, but he insisted on staying with Ying Meiren.
Xiao Yu's brows were furrowed so tightly that it looked like they could pinch a fly to death.
But it was obvious that Lady Ying had no tact at this time. Lin An gave her no one knew how many times he looked at her, but she just pretended not to see it.
After beating the legs, they had to undress the Emperor.
"Enough!" Xiao Yu endured for a while, and when he saw Ying Meiren's hands trying to untie his clothes, he immediately raised his hand to stop her: "What are you doing!"
Why is His Majesty so fierce?
Lady Ying grumbled with dissatisfaction, but seeing the Emperor's furious look, she had no choice but to put her hand down in disappointment.
"I just thought that the weather was so hot and Your Majesty would feel uncomfortable wearing too many clothes, so I wanted to help Your Majesty relax."
She had served the Emperor like this before, and the Emperor had never shown any reaction. But now that she had been out of favor for such a long time, the Emperor wouldn't even let her touch her.
Lady Ying had a face full of resentment, and Xiao Yu also realized that something was wrong. He raised his hand and coughed before saying:
"Just stand here. I don't need you to serve me." He was in a bad mood right now. How could he have the mood to think about these love affairs?
His Majesty’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Unfortunately, Ying Meiren's brain was still a little dull: "How can that be possible?"
Lady Ying stepped forward hurriedly. It was fine that she couldn't see His Majesty before, but now that His Majesty was right before her, how could she let him go?
She needed to take this opportunity to hold on to His Majesty: "I am His Majesty's concubine, and I am here to serve His Majesty."
"If Your Majesty does not want me to serve you, then... then what use am I to you?"
The beautiful Ying was crying and snotting, and her noise made people's brains ache.
Xiao Yu placed his palms on the armrests and tried hard to get up with both hands. But then he thought of something and stopped abruptly.
"That's enough!" He roared, and the beautiful lady Ying stopped crying immediately.
She looked at His Majesty with trembling eyes, and saw His Majesty raised his hand, pinching his brow and saying impatiently: "I am here to listen to the music, you just sing the song."
What music are you listening to? The Emperor came to her room, but he didn't let her serve him?
Meiying brought the pipa reluctantly, and that night, the sound of the pipa echoed all night long.
The next morning, the sky was just beginning to get foggy.
The door to the west hall of Hexiangyuan was opened, and His Majesty walked out without looking back.
"Your Majesty, please slow down." Lin An followed behind him, his steps becoming exhausted.
His Majesty was extremely furious the entire night yesterday, and Lady Ying was innocently implicated and sang songs the entire night.
Lin An really couldn't figure out what happened yesterday.
It is obvious that His Majesty likes Lady Chen Fu very much.
Before he left, His Majesty was still smiling at Miss Shen Fu. How come after just a short absence, His Majesty and Miss Shen Fu ended up in such a quarrel?
Lin An had cold sweat on his forehead and he thought about it for a whole night but still didn't understand.
But we can't just stand by and watch His Majesty and Miss Shen get angry with each other.
Lin An just felt a headache, but as soon as they walked out of the door of Hexiangyuan, they saw Chen Fu waiting there from afar.
It was just dawn in the early morning, and Chen Fu was wearing the goose yellow dress she wore yesterday. His face looked haggard, as if he had not slept all night.
She stood under the tree, holding a lotus lantern in her hand, waiting for an unknown period of time. Seeing His Majesty, Shen Fu's eyes lit up, and she hurried forward: "Your Majesty."
"What are you doing here?" Xiao Yu paused slightly, but the coldness on his face receded a little.
Seeing that Chen Fu was still the same as yesterday, his gaze paused for a while, then turned away indifferently: "Who asked you to come here?"
"No one asked me to come here. I came here on my own." Chen Fu was holding a lotus lantern in her hand with an innocent look on her face.
“Yesterday, Your Majesty didn’t go back to sleep, and Shen Fu couldn’t sleep.”
"Heh..." A sneer came from above his head. His Majesty glanced at Chen Fu indifferently and was about to leave without looking back.
"Your Highness." Shen Fu hurriedly followed behind him.
If she really let the Emperor leave from under her nose today, she would probably have a hard time seeing him again in the future.
She might end up like Ying Meiren, being left in Yuquan Mountain.
Chen Fu naturally didn't want to end up like this. Her fingers in her sleeves trembled. Seeing that the Emperor was about to leave, she hurriedly threw away the lantern in her hand and stepped forward to grab the Emperor.
"Your Majesty..." Chen Fu didn't care that they were outside, she rushed behind him and hugged His Majesty's waist with both hands.
Lin An stood behind, his eyes widened with fear. He looked at Chen Fu with great admiration, and then sent away the palace maids and eunuchs behind him.
This Miss Shen is truly an extraordinary woman!
Lin An took his servants and walked away, leaving only the two of them.
"Let go." Xiao Yu stopped walking, he looked down at the hands that were wrapped around his waist, his eyes and eyebrows were indescribably cold.
"Don't let go." Chen Fu was frightened by the cold voice of His Majesty, but she hugged His Majesty even tighter.
Shen Fu thought about it all night last night and knew that the sooner this matter was resolved, the better.
She had been waiting here since before daybreak. Fortunately, we successfully blocked the Emperor.
Now that she was hugged by someone, Chen Fu would naturally not let go.
"I really don't know why His Majesty was so angry yesterday." Chen Fu mentioned what happened yesterday and shook deliberately.
Pretending to be scared, she said, "It's just that His Majesty is angry, and I don't want to make Him angry."
She pretended to be innocent, and her voice was as sweet as usual.
After hearing this, Xiao Yu's brows furrowed even more tightly.
This was clearly what he usually liked, but the more Shen Fu said this, the more uncomfortable he felt.
It seemed like he was the only one who cared about what happened yesterday.
"You don't need to know." Xiao Yu said, reaching down with both hands as if to pull Chen Fu's hands.
But how could Shen Fu let him have his wish?
Shen Fu gritted her teeth, using all her strength. She held the emperor's waist tightly with both hands: "Your Majesty treats me like this without knowing the truth. I am really scared."
After hearing this, Xiao Yu felt a buzzing pain in his head.
The more Shen Fu did this, the angrier he became. If he hadn't still remembered that Shen Fu was a girl, he would never have such a good temper.
"Let go!" However, His Majesty's patience was completely gone. He grabbed Shen Fu's palm and pulled it down hard.
The moment the palm fell, Shen Fu was completely panicked: "I really don't understand why Your Majesty treats me like this."
"Then you don't need to understand!" Xiao Yu walked away without even turning his head.
Of course Chen Fu couldn't let His Majesty go, so she chased after him in a panic, and deliberately let her knees go weak and pretended to fall.
The moment her knees hit the ground, Shen Fu squeezed out two tears of pain sincerely.
"I am sincere to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty treats me like this. Don't you give me a reason?"
You can't get a tiger cub without learning the tiger's lessons. Chen Fu looked at her bruised knee and sincerely squeezed out two tears for herself.
"Do you want me to give you a reason?" The sound of Chen Fu falling finally made Xiao Yu stop.
He turned around and watched Shen Fu fall to the ground. It was impossible to tell any emotion on that cold face, but at least he was not in a hurry to leave without caring about anything like he had just done.
"Chen Fu, I said so much yesterday, don't you know anything?"
His Majesty's eyes were cold, as if he wanted to see into Shen Fu's heart.
Chen Fu met His Majesty's gaze and her heart trembled. His Majesty's gaze was too sharp. Shen Fu knew that His Majesty was giving her a chance by saying this.
There has to be a limit to playing dumb. If she doesn't catch it this time, she will really not know what is waiting for her then.
After calculating the gains and losses, Shen Fu quickly knew how to defend herself: "My concubine... My concubine knows."
The Emperor was simply angry because she was not jealous, which aroused his suspicion. He even began to doubt everything that Shen Fu had done.
Now that there is a flaw in the matter, if Shen Fu wants to eliminate this lie from the emperor's mind, what she has to do is to continue to tell a big lie to fill the previous loophole.
"I know why His Majesty is angry, but I don't understand why His Majesty treats me like this." Chen Fu knelt on the ground, and there were even a few tears in the corners of her eyes when she raised her head.
She fell to the ground, her skirt lifted slightly, and her slender figure couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Even the slightly trembling eyelashes at the corners of her eyes looked extremely pitiful.
If Chen Fu had been like this in the past, Xiao Yu would have definitely reached out to help her up immediately.
Now he just stood aside and watched indifferently: "Don't you understand?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yu found it extremely ridiculous.
He didn't even dare to think about whether Shen Fu was sincere or fake towards him.
Xiao Yu's eyes were fixed on Chen Fu's delicate neck, his hands behind her back tightly clenched.
Whenever he thought of Shen Fu lying to him, he wanted to crush her with his palm.
Chen Fu could clearly feel the emperor's eyes on her face, which even contained murderous intent.
She was terribly scared: “Chen Fu really doesn’t understand.”
"Your Majesty likes obedient and sensible women, so Chen Fu will try her best to be obedient and sensible."
"Your Majesty likes people who are smart and clever, so Shen Fu tries her best to make Your Majesty happy."
The Emperor was simply angry because she had never been jealous.
Chen Fu thought about it for the whole night and had no choice but to grit her teeth and take the blame.
Since His Majesty wanted her to act so realistically, Shen Fu would act for him.
"Yesterday, His Majesty liked Lady Ying's song so much. Even if Chen Fu felt uncomfortable, she was willing to serve Lady Ying together because His Majesty liked it."
When Shen Fu said this, she was already moved to tears:
"Chen Fu has done everything so well, trying to be virtuous and patient, but I don't know why His Majesty is still dissatisfied."
