Chapter 91 Bite Marks
The lights in the Hehuan Hall stayed on all night long.
Early the next morning, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace all had smiles on their faces, and they couldn't stop smiling.
Last night, His Majesty stayed at their young lady's place.
Originally, His Majesty turned over Concubine Wang's card last night, and they thought that the lady was not liked by His Majesty. But now it seems that His Majesty has gone to Concubine Wang.
As soon as he heard the news that the young lady was ill, he came straight to their Hehuan Palace without saying a word.
When the palace maids and eunuchs thought of this, they couldn't help but feel excited.
After all, what this harem values most is favor.
Whoever the Emperor favors will have face in the harem, and vice versa.
Now that His Majesty is staying in the Hehuan Palace, let's see who in the entire harem dares to ignore them.
The palace maids and eunuchs were so excited that they couldn't stop smiling.
Lin An stood aside, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He heard it clearly last night. The Emperor's movements did not stop until dawn.
Miss Chen Fu has thin arms and legs, and when she walks her waist is even more slender, as graceful as a willow in the wind.
How could such a delicate and pretty girl endure the torture that His Majesty inflicted last night?
Lin An shook his head, a hint of sympathy flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, there was a slight sound in the front, followed by two sounds of knocking on the door.
Lin An instantly perked up, quickly tidied his clothes, then stood up, pushed the door and walked in.
Inside the house, a chill hit me as I entered.
July in Kyoto is extremely hot. The scorching sun shines on the bluestone slabs, and people's cheeks are red from the sun.
Li An came in, feeling a chill all over his body. He raised his hand and touched his forehead.
However, this Hehuan Palace is far away from everywhere. But there is one thing about it: there is a bamboo forest in the front, fruit trees in the backyard and, most importantly, there is a lotus pond in the yard.
From July onwards, everything else feels like being locked in a cage, steaming with heat.
Only in this Hehuan Palace, one feels cool as soon as one enters. There is no place in the entire imperial city that is cooler than this place.
Lin An sighed in his heart when he thought of this, thinking that His Majesty had put a lot of thought into choosing this place.
Thinking of this, Lin An quickly came back to his senses. His eyes fell on the clothes thrown on the ground in front of him, but he pretended not to see them.
"Long live the Lord."
Ang Lee walked very low, his voice so quiet that it was almost inaudible. He lowered his head to the ground, his eyes fixed on the bellyband with a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water on the rosewood couch.
"Your Majesty, it's time to get up." Lin An stood there with his body bent, and reminded, "All the ministers are waiting."
Lin An felt strange.
On weekdays, no matter how late the Emperor goes to bed, he will not be late for the morning court the next day.
It’s strange today. I’m awake but I can’t get up. Lin An stood there and waited.
There was a sky-blue curtain separating the bed. Inside the curtain, His Majesty was half-sitting on the bed, raising his hand and gently pinching his forehead.
"knew."
The emperor's voice came from behind the curtain, but Lin An could hear something wrong.
He has served His Majesty for many years. Not to mention the tone, even if the His Majesty sounds a little wrong, he can guess three or four meanings behind it.
Last night, His Majesty and Lady Shen Fu were clearly in love and affection.
He was leaning against the door and listening, but he heard it clearly. Judging from His Majesty's actions yesterday, he was clearly very satisfied, so why did it feel like something was wrong when I heard his voice today?
Lin An didn't dare to speculate, he just stood aside with his body bent and waited.
Inside the curtain, Xiao Yu rubbed his brows for a long time without saying a word.
After a long while, he sighed deeply and put down the hand that was rubbing his brow. His fierce eyes were full of impatience.
"I am not feeling well today..." Xiao Yu was about to speak to the outside of the curtain, but only made a sound.
A hand immediately reached out from his side to cover his mouth.
"Your Highness..." Shen Fu's voice was pitifully small, and she stammered like a breath.
She had been hiding nearby just now, not even a shoulder was exposed. Now that her Majesty had spoken, she had the audacity to shut him up.
If this happened to someone else, I'm afraid they would lose their heads.
Now that Shen Fu had the courage to do this, His Majesty said nothing, but just raised his eyes and looked at her gently.
"What?" These three words were filled in His Majesty's impatient eyes.
Shen Fu raised her hand to the Emperor's mouth but did not dare to let go. A pair of eyes glanced around, but they didn't dare to look at His Majesty's face.
"Your Majesty, please go to the morning court." Shen Fu's throat rolled, and she continued to say what His Majesty had not finished saying just now.
His Majesty stayed in the Hehuan Palace last night. I'm afraid everyone in the harem knows about it this morning.
If you don't even ask for an audience at the morning court, I'm afraid everyone in the harem will start talking about it.
You must know that His Majesty has worked diligently for many years and the morning court has never been cancelled. She had just been favored by the emperor and had only stayed in her palace for one night, not even attending the morning court.
Why should Shen Fu bear such a big blame?
"Your Majesty, I beg you to come to the court early." Seeing that His Majesty did not move, I saw that he did not move. Shen Fu spoke again.
"I'll go!"
I don't know how long it took before a sound came from the front. A hand stretched out from the sky-blue curtain, and Xiao Yu lifted the curtain and walked down.
Lin An subconsciously raised his head to help, but the moment his eyes met the Emperor's face, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.
Just now, I stepped past and seemed to see that there was a break at the corner of His Majesty's lip?
His Majesty is the supreme ruler, the true dragon emperor. How could anyone dare to hurt His Majesty?
Lin An just felt that he might have seen it wrong. After struggling for a while, he finally opened his eyes quietly.
However, the moment his eyes met His Majesty's chin, Lin An felt even more dizzy.
His Majesty's lower jaw is connected to his lips. A deep bite mark was left on it.
If you look closely, you can still see the tooth marks!
Lin An found it unbelievable. When he tried to confirm it carefully, he met the Emperor's cold eyes.
"Slave... I deserve to die." Lin An was so scared that he immediately lowered his head and banged his head on the bluestone slabs.
No wonder His Majesty hasn’t come out yet, so this is the reason? But how can I attend the morning court in this state?
"Your Majesty is ill. I, your servant, will go and call the imperial physician for His Majesty?" Lin An kowtowed and knelt on the ground, testing the waters in a staccato voice.
"Nothing." A sneer came from the front, and His Majesty raised his hand and threw the handkerchief in his hand.
He turned to Chen Fu who was lying on the bed behind him and said calmly: "I'm fine, I was just scratched by a cat."
