Chapter 208: You are becoming more and more arrogant because I love you
Ji Qingwu wanted to gauge Emperor Wu Su's expression and make plans in advance, but he was caught red-handed.
Seeing him staring at her head, she reached out and touched the cloth bag on her head, not knowing what was going on.
It didn't fall apart, it was wrapped tightly, and there was no problem with the appearance.
But Emperor Wu Su's brows were furrowed even more, and his face was full of dissatisfaction.
Tao Wanyin's body was shaking even more violently as she knelt on the ground. Ji Qingwu said softly, "Your Majesty, the Princess of Yong is still pregnant."
When he heard her voice, Emperor Wu Su's mouth sank.
Ji Qingwu's head quickly lowered again, leaving only a small gray cloth bag on his head.
After a while, the emperor finally spoke, but he asked, "How long has Prince Yong been kneeling at the entrance of the palace?"
Li Yuzong stepped forward and replied respectfully, "It has been four hours since the morning court ended."
Hearing that Prince Yong had been kneeling for so long, Tao Wanyin didn't know why he had angered Emperor Wu Su and thought it had something to do with her.
She said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I know I am guilty and I dare not continue to be the princess. Please don't blame the prince."
Tao Wanyin's face, which had just regained some color, suddenly turned pale again. The gray cloth on her back began to get wet, and it was obvious that she was sweating from fear.
Ji Qingwu had to protect the baby in Princess Yong's belly, so she could only raise her head again, her bright eyes full of water, and blink as she looked at the emperor with a cold face.
Emperor Wu Su received the request in her eyes and turned his eyes away first.
Ji Qingwu's eyes were still fixed on him.
She didn't know if she heard it correctly, but she seemed to hear him sigh.
A cold voice came from above.
"Dow."
Tao Wanyin raised her head in panic.
"Prince Yong has become more and more outrageous these days."
Emperor Wu Su continued, "I called you here not to punish you, but Prince Yong openly provoked Wei Ting in the front court today and fought with him, and now he refuses to admit his mistake. I can give you a chance to make amends."
It was not to punish her, but because of the fight involving Prince Yong.
At this point, Tao Wanyin understood the emperor's intention and immediately said, "I understand! I will go and persuade Prince Yong to admit his mistake and apologize to General Wei. I thank the emperor for his grace."
Emperor Wu Su waved his hand, and Tao Wanyin hurriedly stood up and left the hall.
He then said, "Li Yuzong, go and watch at the door."
After a while, there were only two people left in the huge Qinzheng Hall.
Ji Qingwu first turned around and looked at the door, and found that Li Yuzong had left the door of the hall ajar when he went out, so people outside could not see what was going on inside.
Her courage immediately grew, and she walked up a few steps and stood in front of Emperor Wu Su.
Ji Qingwu had an undisguised smile in her eyes: "Your Majesty's wise decision, I admire you."
Emperor Wu Su just glanced at her, then turned his head and his eyes fell on the paperweight on the desk.
He asked, "Where is the wisdom?"
On the way here, Ji Qingwu was not sure how the emperor would deal with Princess Yong.
She also thought that the emperor, like the empress dowager, would want to abolish Tao Wanyin's position as a concubine and find a concubine who was equally suitable for Prince Yong.
But now it seems that the emperor has no intention of implicating and blaming Princess Yong.
Ji Qingwu smiled sincerely: "Your Majesty may look cold, but your heart is warm. You can't bear to see Prince Yong lose his beloved."
Listening to her gentle voice, Emperor Wu Su's ears felt a lot lighter.
He then looked at her straight in the eye and said in a deep voice, "This is not what I can't bear."
When her eyes met his, Ji Qingwu immediately smiled even brighter. Even wearing coarse clothes could not conceal her beautiful figure.
But Emperor Wu Su said unhappily: "What are you wearing?"
Ji Qingwu looked down and saw that the clothes she was wearing were quite fitting. She had worn even rougher clothes in the Nanchu clinic before, but at least the material of this set was not prickly.
"Your Majesty, this is the dress that all the palace maids in Anle Hall wear, and Princess Yong also wears it."
Emperor Wu Su asked, "Why do you go to An Le Tang every day? Is that a place you can go to?"
Ji Qingwu admitted his mistake very well and explained softly, "I didn't break the palace rules on purpose. It's just that Prince Yong came to me and said that the princess' pulse was not good."
Noticing her cautiousness, Emperor Wu Su interrupted, "There is no place in the palace that you cannot go to."
Ji Qingwu was stunned by these words: "What does your majesty mean?"
This time, Emperor Wu Su really let out a long sigh.
"An Le Tang is where the palace maids who have made mistakes stay. There are all kinds of people in there. You shouldn't go to such a filthy place."
Ji Qingwu understood, his face began to heat up, and he said softly: "So your majesty is worried about my safety."
"It's not just about your safety. There are too many dirty corners in this world that I don't want you to see."
What Emperor Wu Su didn't say was that he didn't want Ji Qingwu to become more afraid of the palace after seeing this place. He was worried that she would become even more repulsive to the Phoenix Palace.
Ji Qingwu looked back at him, with a subtle but firm light in his eyes.
"But you can't avoid it just by avoiding it."
Emperor Wu Su hooked his finger at her, and Ji Qingwu moved closer until they were within arm's reach of each other.
“Keep your head down,” he ordered.
Ji Qingwu bent his neck obediently, his eyes falling on his thighs.
The next moment, the gray cloth on Ji Qingwu's head was torn off, and his black hair instantly fell down.
A few strands of hair slipped off Emperor Wu Su's dragon robe.
Ji Qingwu stood up and said in surprise: "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Wu Su held the gray cloth in his slender fingers, without even looking at it, and threw it mercilessly into the incense ash burner beside him.
Ji Qingwu had no idea how this cloth had offended the Emperor.
Her eyes widened as she watched it fall into the incense ash, becoming even grayer.
Emperor Wu Su had already disliked Ji Qingwu since he entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, why are you throwing my turban?" Ji Qingwu said with a pout.
Emperor Wu Su said, "What kind of headscarf is this? You look like this and only remind me of the nuns in the temple."
Ji Qingwu gathered her long hair behind her and said, "The palace maids in An Le Hall have to wrap their hair up to make it easier to work."
Even after taking off the cloth towel, Emperor Wu Su was still not satisfied.
He reached out and tried to pull the belt woven with several strands of red rope above her pants.
Ji Qingwu protected it with both hands and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this belt. You should wear a belt when you dress normally."
Emperor Wu Su said impatiently: "Take off this dress quickly, it's unlucky."
How can I change my clothes after taking them off?
Ji Qingwu refused to take off his pants and backed away, holding his waistband.
"This is just clothing. If Your Majesty doesn't like it or finds it an eyesore, I will leave immediately."
When Emperor Wu Su heard that she was leaving, his expression became even worse.
He stood up, his tall figure approaching her step by step, he lowered his brows and spoke in a dull voice.
"Awu, relying on my favor, you have become more and more reckless, even daring to go to such a place."
Ji Qingwu couldn't help but step back and said, "Didn't your majesty just say that there is no place in the palace that I can't go to?"
Emperor Wu Su forced her into a corner.
