Chapter 231 In a Dream
The wound on Zhou Shuyun's arm was quite large. When the imperial physician arrived and lifted up her sleeve, he saw a long bloody scar inside.
As the wound on his arm was revealed, everyone around him gasped in fear.
Shu Guipin even took a few steps back until her body hit the corner of the table behind her and then she stopped.
"I couldn't see anything through the clothes just now..." Concubine Rong turned her head and glanced at her, then turned back and continued: "I didn't expect the wound inside the sleeve was so serious."
"Poor Lady Zhou, she just got better and now she's injured again."
Zhou Shuyun sat on a chair and let the imperial physician treat her wounds.
Hearing this, he just shook his head and looked towards Shen Fu: "At that time, Concubine Shen was in such a situation, how could I think too much."
"Even if you didn't expect so much, you can't just pounce on so many broken pieces of porcelain."
Concubine Rong stood aside and sighed, "Silly child, there is no one like you. I didn't allow you to come, so you came to serve me in the clothes of a palace maid."
"Now, in order to save Concubine Shen, and..."
"I'm not trying to save Concubine Shen!" Zhou Shuyun shouted softly.
She raised her head and fixed her eyes on His Majesty's face, and her cheeks flushed as she glanced sideways.
"I am here to save Concubine Shen, and more importantly, to save the baby in her belly."
She fixed her gaze on Shen Fu's belly and lowered her eyes slightly, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Concubine Shen is pregnant with Your Majesty's child, and I am right beside her. Naturally, I cannot watch her encounter any danger."
When Zhou Shuyun said this, she rolled up her sleeves. Blood was flowing down the snow-white arm little by little.
There was not a trace of blood on his pale face, he looked extremely miserable and pitiful.
But her eyes were always fixed on Shen Fu's lower abdomen, as if Shen Fu's safety was more important than her own body.
"You are too kindhearted. You don't even care about your own safety, but you care about Concubine Shen and the child in her belly..."
Concubine Rong shook her head and focused her eyes on Shen Fu: "Concubine Shen, you and Concubine Zhou have the best relationship in the harem."
"Look, even now, she is still thinking about you."
Shen Fu stood aside and saw it clearly.
She was naturally grateful to Zhou Shuyun for saving her in a critical moment, but... Concubine Rong repeatedly tried to force the credit of saving her life.
Just now I didn’t know what the purpose of today’s scene was, but after going through this, even a fool can see it.
It turns out that today's play was performed specifically for His Majesty.
Shen Fu turned her head and glanced at His Majesty's eyes.
I happened to see His Majesty looking at Zhou Shuyun's arm, and I couldn't tell whether there was pity or sympathy in his eyes.
Sure enough, men have been fooled by this since ancient times.
Some people are willing to sacrifice themselves for you, even at the cost of their own lives.
Such feelings would move anyone, even His Majesty.
Zhou Shuyun's experience today will definitely leave a mark in His Majesty's mind.
Shen Fu's heart sank, and she was glad that she had not yet fallen in love with His Majesty.
She bit her lip lightly, lowered her head and walked forward: "It's all my fault."
These three short words were filled with guilt. Chen Fu thought of Zhou Shuyun's words, and easily put the entire responsibility of the incident on her.
When Shen Fu said this, her face was full of guilt, and her voice became more sincere: "If it weren't for me, how could Lady Zhou be injured."
Chen Fu's voice was soft to begin with, and she deliberately lowered her voice when she said these words.
It looks extremely pitiful.
Xiao Yu always attached great importance to Jiang Chenfu's safety. After hearing this, he immediately shifted his gaze back to Chenfu.
Shen Fu was so scared at that moment just now that his face almost changed.
Now seeing Chen Fu come out to admit her mistake, she naturally felt extremely reluctant.
"I don't blame you." Xiao Yu grabbed Shen Fu's hand and held it in his palm.
"How can I blame you?"
The Lord Wansui held Shen Fu's hand and concentrated on comforting her: "Anyone in this room is at fault, and you can't blame anyone else."
As soon as His Majesty finished speaking, Concubine Rong's expression changed instantly.
She had never expected that His Majesty would actually say this.
Even Concubine Rong couldn't control her expression, and stared at His Majesty with disbelief.
Is His Majesty crazy?
Concubine Rong had a look of astonishment, and Zhou Shuyun, who was standing beside her, naturally didn't feel any better either.
She never thought that His Majesty would actually say such words in his heart.
Even though he knew in his heart that His Majesty doted on Chen Fu, the facts were now before his eyes. However, there were still turbulent waves in her heart, and it was even hard for her to accept it.
Zhou Shuyun opened her eyes and stared at the two people in front of her, her trembling gaze fixed on His Majesty.
The scenes in the dream flashed through her mind one by one. She only remembered that the Emperor had treated her like this and had stood in front of her to protect her.
Even regardless of everything, they stand on your side for no reason.
But everything before my eyes has changed.
His Majesty has people he favors, people he wants to protect, and even people he keeps in his heart.
Even more loving than the scene she saw in her dream...
Except that the person next to His Majesty is not himself, almost nothing has changed.
Zhou Shuyun stared at the Emperor's figure intently until she felt a sharp pain in her arm, then she lowered her head in embarrassment.
I couldn't help but make a sound of pain in my throat.
The imperial physician beside her bent over and bandaged the wound on her arm deftly with his hands: "My lady, bear with it. The medicine has just been applied, so it will naturally be a little painful to bandage it now."
"Remember not to get your arm wet these few days, lest the wound be too deep and leave a scar."
Zhou Shuyun's heart tightened when she heard this.
Which woman in the harem doesn’t love beauty? This face and this body are more important than anything else.
If scars are left, in the future...
Zhou Shuyun raised her head and glanced in the direction of His Majesty in a very obscure way.
Then his eyes dropped.
Even though I knew in my heart that this was bound to be a bit risky, I still felt a little bitter when I heard it from the mouth of the imperial physician.
"Thank you, doctor."
After the imperial physician bandaged the wound, he bent down and stood up from the ground.
Even after the imperial physician left, His Majesty did not let go of Shen Fu's hand.
Instead, he looked around, scanning the hall one by one: "Who on earth wants to harm Concubine Shen and my child in her belly?"
As soon as His Majesty said this, the room immediately became silent.
Harming the favorite concubine and destroying the offspring.
If either of these two crimes is charged to someone else, it would be a heinous crime that could lead to the destruction of the entire family.
When His Majesty said this, it was obvious that he was really getting angry.
Everyone in the room looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward at this time.
However, Concubine Shu withdrew her gaze from His Majesty and Shen Fu with a look of resentment.
She looked at Concubine Meng who was shivering in the corner, stretched out her foot inconspicuously, and kicked her out of the corner.
"It's not me, it's not me." However, Concubine Meng was already frightened to death.
She stumbled out of the corner, her palms still stained with blood from the broken porcelain.
Concubine Meng didn't care, she just put her hands on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly:
"Not a concubine, not a concubine."
Concubine Meng's teeth were chattering constantly as she felt the jealousy and fear that had just risen up in her.
At this moment, it has completely disappeared.
He didn't care about anything else but kept knocking his head on the ground: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life."
Concubine Meng kowtowed with a loud clacking sound, and her tears and blood gradually stuck to the carpet in front of her.
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Concubine Meng, obviously recognizing that the person in front of him was the same person from yesterday.
However, Concubine Shu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it was this bitch who pushed Concubine Shen, and that's why Concubine Shen fell down."
Shu Guipin stared at His Majesty's eyes with her beautiful eyes.
She was gambling, gambling on her importance in the Emperor's heart. His Majesty clearly saw it, or heard it, last night.
But His Majesty has never dealt with himself.
So what about today?
Is it the same today? Will His Majesty do the same and pretend nothing happened?
Deal with this bitch.
"Everyone in the room saw it clearly. It was Concubine Meng who pushed Concubine Shen. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask others at will."
When Concubine Shu saw that His Majesty didn't say anything, her beautiful eyes swept around the room and her delicate chin was slightly raised.
Concubine Rong walked out from Zhou Shuyun's side and glanced casually at the hall with a gloomy look in her eyes.
Then she said, "I just saw it too. It was indeed Concubine Meng who stepped forward and pushed Concubine Shen."
Things have come to this point today, naturally someone has to stand up.
Concubine Rong didn't care whether it was Concubine Shu or Concubine Meng who was punished.
In this matter, someone will have to take the blame and appease the Emperor's anger.
It would be good if it was Concubine Shu, but she didn't care if it was Concubine Meng.
"It was Concubine Meng who hurt Concubine Shen and Concubine Zhou. Your Majesty can punish this person."
After hearing what Concubine Rong said, the last glimmer of light in Concubine Meng's eyes went out.
She couldn't even hold on when she knelt on the ground, and her emaciated body fell to the ground.
The whole person was even trembling slightly.
She knew that Concubine Rong's words must mean that her death was approaching.
Meng Xuanshi knelt on the ground, quietly waiting for death.
"Drag him away."
Shu Guipin kept looking at His Majesty until she heard a word from His Majesty's mouth, and then she felt relieved.
But she missed the cold look in His Majesty's eyes as he looked at her.
As soon as His Majesty opened his mouth, Lin An immediately followed his orders and stepped forward, stretching out his hand and trying to take the person away.
Concubine Meng knelt on the ground without struggling. He let the young eunuch drag him away without making any sound.
Chen Fu looked at Concubine Meng's pale face, and her expression did not change at all.
At the moment when Concubine Meng pushed her, she probably didn't know what was happening.
But today, he was obviously instigated by someone and made this mistake.
Given Chen Fu's personality, even if she couldn't beg for mercy, she would still stand up and say something.
But today... Shen Fu lowered her eyes and pretended not to see anything.
Life and death are determined by fate. Concubine Meng wants to harm me. Even if she was being used, even if it was unintentional.
Shen Fu will not let go of anyone who wants to hurt her and her unborn child.
As soon as Concubine Meng was dragged away, the atmosphere in the room gradually changed.
All the threats from Shu Guipin disappeared, and she naturally felt relieved.
She looked at His Majesty, then at Chen Fu. Knowing that His Majesty's mood must not be very good at the moment, Shu Guipin did not want to go over and cause trouble for herself at this time.
She bent her knees and bowed: "I will take my leave now."
Concubine Rong looked at Concubine Shu leaving, her expression did not change at all: ""
"Everything today is my fault. Concubine Meng came forward to complain, saying that Concubine Shu beat her yesterday, so I called Concubine Shen here."
"How could I have known that such a big thing would happen? Fortunately, Concubine Shen is fine, otherwise I don't know how to explain to His Majesty."
Concubine Rong was used to speaking polite words, and these nice words came out of her mouth effortlessly.
His Majesty just gave her a cold look, then reached out and took Shen Fu away.
"If Concubine Rong manages the harem and can't manage things like this, someone else will be in charge in the future."
After His Majesty left these words, he took Chen Fu and left.
When Concubine Rong knelt and stood up, she only saw the back of His Majesty.
She smiled bitterly in her heart.
Turning around, I saw Zhou Shuyun standing there. The gaze was fixed on His Majesty's back.
There was a burning heat in his eyes.
"Empress." Zhou Shuyun looked for a long time, and when she came to her senses, she found that Concubine Rong was looking at her.
She quickly lowered her eyes, and her trembling eyelashes concealed the look in her eyes.
"Why, are you looking at His Majesty?"
Concubine Rong took a step forward, carefully recalling Zhou Shuyun's eyes just now, her eyes were full of aftertaste.
It was the first time she saw a concubine looking at the Emperor with such eyes.
"no."
When Concubine Rong's gaze fell, Zhou Shuyun pursed her lips slightly but shook her head.
"I am looking at Concubine Shen."
"Oh?" Concubine Rong raised her eyebrows, obviously surprised by Zhou Shuyun's answer.
But then she thought of the heat in Zhou Shuyun's eyes just now. He smiled again in an urgent tone: "It's time to take a look."
"It's good to take a look at how much favor Concubine Shen has in the harem. Now that she is pregnant, His Majesty is unwilling to go to other people's places, but instead takes her to the Qianqing Palace to raise her."
"I'm still pregnant and this is the case. If time passes, I'll have to give up my position, not to mention others."
She murmured, not sure if she was talking to herself or to Zhou Shuyun beside her.
Zhou Shuyun knelt down and left with an expressionless face.
But when he was about to leave, he turned his head, glanced past Concubine Rong, and locked onto the concubine's throne behind her.
She didn’t know in this life, but in her dreams, this position clearly belonged to her, Zhou Shuyun!
