Chapter 200 The Person Next to You
Just after Wang Yuanpan left, Shen Fu couldn't recover for a long time. Her palm fell on her lower abdomen, and Shen Fu was completely stunned.
I originally thought that the baby in my belly was fake and I was not pregnant. But now, Judge Wang said that she was pregnant.
The two results were so completely different that Shen Fu now began to doubt herself.
Who should she listen to?
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Yu waved his hand and asked everyone in the room to leave.
After waiting for the room to quiet down, Xiao Yu strode to Chen Fu's side.
"Should you explain this to me?"
Chen Fu's expression just now could not be fake at all. She was so obviously panicked that even the head of the royal court could see it. How could she escape the eyes of His Majesty?
The imperial physician had just left when His Majesty began to ask questions impatiently.
"Is your Majesty going to raise an army to investigate the crime?"
Shen Fu's jaw was held in the palm of His Majesty's hand, and she felt a sharp pain there.
An attitude of a superior, with a forced and slightly aggressive aura.
Her brows tightened in pain, but she did not turn her head to shake off the Emperor's palm. Instead, she raised her head and looked at His Majesty with a bright gaze.
"Your Majesty, are you going to interrogate the concubines?"
Xiao Yu's eyes fell on Shen Fu and he stared at her for a long time. Only after a look of displeasure flashed across the priest's face did Xiao Yu chuckle and calmly let go of his palm.
"I don't want you to hide anything from me."
Shen Fu's state just now could not be fake, and there must be a reason for such a nervous expression.
When Xiao Yu thought of what had just happened, his brows furrowed.
He didn't like others hiding things from him, especially Shen Fu hiding things from him.
Everything in the harem must be under her control, especially Shen Fu!
His Majesty's eyes were extremely sharp, and even the look he gave her was icy cold to the bone.
Shen Fu's heart trembled a few times, and she pondered for a while, but still did not dare to tell His Majesty the truth.
The previous events have already come to an end in His Majesty's mind. If Chen Fu brings up the past now, it might backfire.
However, Shen Fu has now revealed some clues. If she really didn't explain at all, Shen Fu would probably not be able to fool him.
"My concubine...My concubine..."
Shen Fu was thinking about how she should start the conversation, but she hesitated for a long time and still couldn't come up with a solution.
His Majesty placed his fingertips on her forehead and gently stroked it. His movements were gentle, but his tone was threatening.
"Tell me the truth."
His Majesty put down his hand that was on her head, stood up and poured her a cup of tea: "Don't hide it from me."
Chen Fu looked at the teacup stuffed into her palm and felt a little at a loss for a moment.
She lowered her head and held the teacup, looking well-behaved and obedient: "I just fell down on purpose."
Chen Fu bit her lip, raised her head, with tears between her lively eyes, and said timidly to His Majesty.
Xiao Yu was still drinking tea, and when he heard this, he almost choked on the tea.
The half-leaning body straightened up instantly. His Majesty coughed several times in succession, and after waiting for the breath to subside, His Majesty spoke to Chen Fu.
"You said you were pretending just now?"
Chen Fu was also taking a gamble. Rather than letting herself be suspected of faking pregnancy, not only would she have to explain a lot, but the Emperor might also think too much.
Emperors have always been suspicious since ancient times. Even if Chen Fu has a little favor, she doesn't dare to really gamble with the emperor's favor.
Since that was the case, she could only move the matter elsewhere.
"I did it on purpose." Chen Fu bit her lip and nodded to His Majesty.
Xiao Yu took a deep breath and looked at Chen Fu's fearless appearance. The anger that had just arisen in his heart suddenly subsided.
The words that came out were so shocking, but Shen Fu still looked arrogant.
With that face, it's really hard to hit him, and it's even harder to scold him.
Gently rubbing his brow with his fingertips, His Majesty took a deep breath and said, "Why don't you explain to me why you fell down on purpose?"
It was raining heavily outside, and Shen Fu was standing in the rain even though she was pregnant. She even pretended to fall while pregnant.
Today he was there, and he saw it in time and hugged Shen Fu. What would happen if she really fell to the ground?
Xiao Yu didn't even dare to think about it.
"Today I must hear your explanation."
Judging from His Majesty's voice, he is already trying his best to be patient and control his temper.
Shen Fu also knew that she was taking a big gamble. If I had spoken well, I would have been able to get out of this game today unscathed.
on the contrary……
Chen Fu's hand fell on her lower abdomen. She was extremely frightened, but no matter what, she couldn't let the Emperor know.
Since there is no need to talk about this false pregnancy...
Shen Fu lowered her head, pretending to be delicate and coquettish. Biting her lip lightly, she said, "I just can't stand Lady Wang."
Concubine Wang has a bad temper. She has always been proud of herself because she is the first concubine in this session to serve the Emperor.
On weekdays, when facing other concubines, those concubines with more seniority would still give them some face.
Even if he was just pretending and giving a little perfunctory treatment to Lady Wang, he could still save face.
But it was only to Shen Fu, only to Shen Fu. Lady Wang, however, showed no respect at all.
Not to mention respecting him in their hearts, they are not even willing to show it on the surface.
Chen Fu usually had a good temper and allowed Lady Wang to commit such an act of disobedience.
She has already tolerated too many times, and now both new and old grudges are being settled together. Concubine Wang is unlucky today.
"She is the concubine with a higher rank, Your Majesty agrees, isn't she?"
Xiao Yu was still angry with Chen Fu for what she had just said about him falling down on purpose.
Now, after hearing this, he no longer had the patience he had before facing Shen Fu.
He just opened his eyes and glanced at Shen Fu, and said lightly in his throat: "Yes."
"You are a concubine, and she is just a little beauty. Your status is naturally higher than hers."
Among the positions in the harem, beauties have the lowest rank, and below them are only the lowest-ranking selected concubines.
If a beauty wants to climb to the position of imperial concubine, she must go through the stages of talented person, noble lady, graceful manner and beautiful appearance.
Above the rank of Ronghua, this is Jieyu.
As for the positions above Jieyushi, such as imperial concubine, concubine, or even noble concubine, these are a story for later.
Just thinking about it this way, the gap between a beauty and the position of a concubine is really too big.
"Are the ranks in the harem clearly distinguished?" Shen Fu had tears in her eyes. The watery light fell into her eyes and she looked at His Majesty half-heartedly.
"The hierarchy is clear." The concubines in the harem are naturally ranked according to their positions.
This is also the reason why his position rose and fell in just half a year.
He was afraid that Shen Fu would be bullied because of her low position. Only by showing favor to her again and again could Shen Fu avoid being bullied.
"Since the status of a concubine is higher than that of the princess, the harem is divided into high and low positions according to their status."
Shen Fu paused here, her voice even a little hoarse with tears in her eyes.
With eyes full of grievance, she said, "That beauty Wang bullied me again and again."
"I just can't stand her and I just don't like her."
Sure enough, when she saw Shen Fu, she burst into tears out of grievance. His Majesty couldn't help himself: "You are a concubine, she is just a beauty, do you think she dares to provoke you?"
"Why not?" Chen Fu's tears were still on her cheeks. She raised her palm-sized face and looked at the Emperor with misty eyes.
That look was so pitiful and sympathetic.
His Majesty already loved Shen Fu like the apple of his eye, so seeing this, how could he care about Shen Fu's fainting just now? He stood up immediately.
"This is really outrageous!"
His Majesty sneered in his throat: "A little beauty dares to be disrespectful to you."
Seeing His Majesty's attitude, Shen Fu instantly felt relieved.
With His Majesty’s attitude, she was able to successfully survive today’s attack.
But it was too early for Shen Fu to be happy, and the breath in her chest had just been relaxed.
The next moment, His Majesty turned around and faced Shen Fu directly.
His cold eyes fell on Chen Fu. His Majesty had sharp eyes and spoke directly to Chen Fu.
"Even so, you can't joke about your own safety and the fetus in your belly."
His Majesty was obviously really angry, and the rage in his chest had not yet subsided.
The look he gave Chen Fu was even more patrolling.
Facing His Majesty's gaze, Shen Fu was so frightened that her heart began to beat rapidly.
She quickly lowered her head to hide the expression on her face.
How can you be considered as making fun of your own body? Shen Fu looked distressed.
Wasn't it because she thought the baby in her belly was fake?
But who could have imagined that the baby in her belly would actually be real?
Shen Fu pretended to be relaxed, knowing that this matter was not something that could be easily fooled away.
She raised her hand and gently placed it on her lower abdomen, deliberately using a relaxed tone: "I am not so stupid. How could I joke about my own body?"
"I was thinking of teaching Lady Wang a lesson, so I sat on the ground on purpose to scare her. It's autumn now and people wear thick clothes, so I'm sure nothing will happen to me."
When Shen Fu said this, the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, her eyes were cunning and a little complacent.
One of them put her hand on her lower abdomen, as if to say that she would not joke about herself or the baby in her belly.
Xiao Yu could clearly see the expression on Chen Fu's face from the side.
He was sure that Shen Fu did not lie, but he was also impressed that Shen Fu did not lie.
Say Chen Fu is stupid. She pretended to fall and framed Concubine Wang, and even had a plan for her future.
But if you say she is smart, Shen Fu told him all this clearly and honestly.
No secrets, total trust.
The women in the harem were all cautious and nervous when facing the emperor.
This was naturally said in a favorable light. No matter whether it was a big or small matter, she always appeared gentle and virtuous in front of him.
The purpose is to gain a good reputation for being tolerant and virtuous. He was afraid that he would give the impression of being scheming in front of the emperor.
But what about Shen Fu?
She is good, what she has done, how to calculate. She even confessed to him that she couldn't stand Concubine Wang and framed her.
Do you trust him so much?
"You have gone to so much trouble to frame Concubine Wang, and now you are confessing to me. Aren't you afraid that I will not punish Concubine Wang, but punish you instead?"
His Majesty looked at Chen Fu with a tentative look in his eyes. Seeing that she was also looking at him, a smug look flashed in his eyes, like a little fox.
"Your Majesty won't do that." Shen Fu said as a matter of course: "Your Majesty loves me so much, naturally he won't be reluctant to let me go."
"Besides, I didn't lie. Lady Wang treats me seriously, which is very disrespectful. Your Majesty will know it if he asks a little."
"You are so frank with me. Does that mean you trust me so much?" His Majesty took a few steps forward and his bright eyes fell on Shen Fu's face, as if he wanted to see her expression clearly.
"Of course." Shen Fu knew that His Majesty was looking at her.
The more this happened, the more Chen Fu dared not show any nervousness on her face.
She knew that these words were extremely important to her at this moment.
"Your Majesty is my bedfellow. If I don't tell you the truth, who else can I tell it to?"
Shen Fu's matter-of-fact tone and puzzled expression made Xiao Yu stunned.
He looked at the face in front of him.
Her eyes were full of confusion, as if she was very puzzled by what he had just said.
"The person beside me..." Xiao Yu pondered these three words carefully.
In this harem, who is not sleeping with whom? It's just that they hide the truth from each other and wear masks when they meet people.
The only one who really treats him as her bedmate is Chen Fu.
Xiao Yu no longer had any anger in his heart. The three words "the one beside me" completely made his anger disappear.
He kept repeating these three words for a while, and then deliberately asked, "Aren't you afraid of what might happen?"
Chen Fu was still too bold, and was allowed to do whatever he wanted. Xiao Yu decided to teach her a lesson: "If there is even the slightest mistake, let's see what you can do then."
"No." Shen Fu raised her face and snorted.
"The servants were close by. Even if I fell, the servants would have protected me. Besides, I saw Eunuch Lin An out of the corner of my eye at that time."
"I thought that if something really happened, Lin An would call the imperial physician in time and would not let anything happen to me."
Shen Fu was very proud when she said this, as if she had done something extraordinary.
"Guaranteed to be foolproof!"
After hearing this, Xiao Yu first breathed a sigh of relief. But after a moment, his brows were wrinkled again.
"You said Lin An is here?"
It was he who saved Shen Fu, the heartless little Shen Fu. Are you talking about Lin Anzai?
"Who caught you at that time? I think you have forgotten, right?"
As soon as His Majesty finished speaking, Lin An hurried in: "Your Majesty..."
As soon as Lin An finished speaking, Xiao Yu heard the sound and turned back angrily. The fierce gaze fell on Lin An, and Lin An felt a chill on his back.
Oh my God, what happened to the Emperor? !
Lin An felt that the Emperor's wrath was like a knife falling on his neck, which frightened him so much that his mouth became dry and his body instantly turned cold.
"Outside...outside..." Lin An swallowed and stammered, "Outside, Concubine Wang is almost fainting from the cold. She said she has something to say to His Majesty."
When Xiao Yu heard this, he sneered.
Lady Wang, a little beauty, dared to be disrespectful to Shen Fu. He was worried about finding a reason to let her know and recognize her own identity.
She was nice enough to come to me on her own initiative.
Xiao Yu turned around and glanced at Chen Fu as if warning her: "Just sit here and don't move."
Then he turned around and strode out, sneering: "Just right, I have something else to see this beautiful lady Wang."
