Chapter 109 Your Majesty, this slap is well deserved!
For the sake of her brother who was the prime minister, Concubine Li gritted her teeth and wanted to swallow the injustice, not wanting to implicate him.
But when she heard the emperor say such nonsense, she could no longer bear it.
He was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he slapped the emperor hard in the face!
He learned all the unique skills from Madam Hou.
Eunuch Yang covered his face: =_=
Oh, he knew this would happen!
As expected, no one can escape.
After all, where the Marquis's wife is, there is no sound of applause, and it always seems like something is missing.
Especially since His Majesty had suffered a great loss this time, to be honest, he felt that His Majesty deserved a slap, and the slap was not unjust!
The emperor had never been beaten since he was a child. He was suddenly hit and was a little dazed.
I even forgot to get angry.
He paused for a moment before reacting, and his face suddenly darkened.
"My Lady, you..."
But Concubine Li looked at him with red eyes, and spoke word by word with great force.
"Your Majesty, please depose me!"
People say that emperors are heartless, but she didn't believe it before. She thought that His Majesty doted on her and gave her whatever she asked for. Even if it was impossible for him to love only her, he still loved her deeply in his heart.
It was not until this incident that she finally saw through this man.
He doesn't love anyone at all, he only loves himself.
He didn't even really love his children. He was just afraid of death, afraid of losing power, afraid of being plotted against, afraid that the throne would fall into the hands of others and he would not have a good end.
Otherwise, how could he say so lightly that they could have another child.
There wasn't even a trace of self-blame, as if everything that happened today was just her misfortune, not caused by him alone.
The emperor was shocked again when he heard this.
He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he felt the sting on his cheek.
"Why are you saying such nonsense? I have already agreed to make you the Queen, what else do you want?!"
Concubine Li curled her lips and said sarcastically.
"Should I thank Your Majesty for your grace?"
The emperor said.
"After the Queen passed away, I originally didn't want to appoint another one. Now I've made an exception for you. What else are you dissatisfied with? Are you going to resent me for the rest of your life because of what happened today?"
"No, I don't hate you..."
Concubine Li shook her head, but her tone became more resolute.
"I am heartbroken. I only ask Your Majesty to banish me to the cold palace, so that we will never see each other again, whether in this life or in this life!"
The emperor's face suddenly turned pale and he raised his hand in anger.
"I think you are crazy!"
Concubine Li looked at his raised hand with disdain.
"Your Majesty, look... you're going to hit me again."
“…”
The emperor froze, his hand raised in the air, hesitating for a long time, and finally did not fall.
He suppressed his anger and spoke coldly.
"Today, I only think you lost your child, which is why you are so angry and talking nonsense... You should rest well in the palace for the next few days. When you have figured it out, come see me again!"
After saying this, without waiting for Concubine Li to say anything else, the emperor flicked his sleeves and strode out.
When passing by Jiang Wanning.
It was as if he had just realized that there was a stranger in the bedroom.
A trace of embarrassment and anger flashed across his face, and then he scolded.
"When did Madam Hou's hands become so long that they've even reached into my harem!"
Jiang Wanning was speechless.
Even though he was angry, why did he take his anger out on her?
He was still the emperor like this, no wonder so many people disobeyed him and wanted to rebel.
It turns out that we must pull him off the throne as soon as possible!
In the original text.
He did not indeed save his kingdom.
Concubine Li was framed for murdering the imperial heir and committed suicide in grief and anger. However, because Concubine Liu was pregnant with the imperial heir and had made great contributions in "making medicine" for the emperor, she was promoted twice in just less than three months and was made a concubine.
She then took charge of the affairs of the six palaces and became the most trusted concubine around the emperor.
However, the emperor was born without children. Although Concubine Liu could hide it for the first three months, it was impossible for her to pretend to be pregnant all the time, so she increased the dosage of medicine given to the emperor.
So one night, the emperor almost died of a stroke.
The entire Imperial Hospital worked all night to save him, but he was bedridden and could no longer attend court.
Because of the death of Concubine Li, the emperor and Prime Minister Jing also developed a rift and became suspicious of him.
Prince Ruyang took the opportunity to seize control of the government and collaborated with Concubine Liu to undermine the imperial power.
Not long after.
After the emperor passed away, Concubine Liu placed the empress dowager under house arrest and falsely passed on an order, allowing Prince Ruyang to usurp the throne and ascend the throne as emperor.
But before they could even sit down, Nangong Jing and Shen Yan led their armies and stormed into the imperial city!
After a bloody battle, King Ruyang was defeated and executed.
Both armies were severely damaged.
Once again, Nan Zhao took advantage of the chaos to attack, and the army was approaching!
In order to save the people from the suffering of war, Murong Qing, who had returned to her status as the eldest princess at that time, had to seek help from Shen Yutang, who had sat on the throne of Dongling, which led to a long emotional drama.
In the end, the world was in chaos, and Shen Yutang became the common ruler of the world, getting a huge advantage for nothing.
So let’s just say…
Why can't Qingqing be the emperor?
Seeing Jiang Wanning suddenly raise his arm, the emperor almost subconsciously took a half step back, his expression changing.
"W-What are you going to do?!"
Jiang Wanning rolled up his sleeves and gestured in front of him with his hand.
road.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me. My hands are not very long... You see, they are the same as those of a normal person."
emperor:"……"
I was so scared, I thought she would suddenly slap me!
Jiang Wanning really wanted to slap him.
However, this trip to the palace was rushed, and she hadn't had time to prepare properly, so she just wrote it down in her notebook for the time being.
We'll settle it together next time when we're ready.
Plus some interest.
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of leaving and seemed to want to hold him accountable, Jiang Wanning spoke first.
"Today, it was by sheer luck that I was able to help Your Majesty uncover those two treacherous concubines. If Your Majesty insists on rewarding me... I'm not greedy, just one thousand taels of gold will be enough."
The emperor's tone darkened.
"When did I say I would reward you?!"
Jiang Wanning exclaimed and asked back.
"Didn't Your Majesty just praise the length of my hands? Oh, I see. One thousand taels of gold is too much... Then, how about a hundred taels? Or ten taels as a token of appreciation would be fine too?"
emperor:"……"
Forget it, it's like talking at cross purposes!
The emperor waved his sleeves and strode out with his hands behind his back. He was too embarrassed to hold it in and cursed under his breath.
"Yang Rong, give the Marquis' wife ten taels of gold! Tell her to get out of here!"
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
…
Wait until the emperor leaves Qixiang Palace.
Only then did Concubine Li lie back on the bed with the help of everyone.
Looking at her pale and weak face, the nanny serving beside her felt both distressed and worried.
"Your Majesty, since His Majesty has softened his tone just now, why did you say such angry words... What if His Majesty gets furious and really deposes you? What will you do for the rest of your life in the deep palace?"
Concubine Li said with cold eyes.
"Even if I die alone, it's better than seeing his heartless face every day!
I feel sick just seeing him now, let alone sleeping with him!
He even wants me to have a baby, bah! What a joke! "
Seeing that she was very angry, the nanny wanted to persuade her again.
But then I heard the Marquis's wife approaching.
"Well done! The Imperial Concubine is not only beautiful, but her scolding is also beautiful. It makes me feel so comfortable listening to it... It's like listening to heavenly music, and my ears are temporarily cleared!"
Only then did Concubine Li's expression ease a little, and seeing her was like seeing a close friend.
His eyes were full of gratitude.
"Madam Hou, today's incident is all thanks to you. You saved my life. I cannot thank you enough for such a great favor. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, please just ask."
Jiang Wanning thought for a moment and said.
"I really need a favor, Your Majesty..."
…
Over there.
Upon learning that something had happened to Concubine Li, Nangong Jing and Shen Yanhou, as foreign ministers and men, could not enter the harem, so they waited in Jingyun Palace.
Seeing Nangong Jing's worried look, Shen Yan couldn't help but comfort him.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry too much. With Madam here, the Imperial Concubine should be fine."
Nangong Jing looked up and saw his calm expression, feeling puzzled.
"Your Majesty values his offspring the most. With such a calamity in the harem, if the Marquis' wife is implicated, I'm afraid the entire Marquisate will be vulnerable... Is Your Majesty not worried at all?"
Shen Yan said.
"If Madam can't handle it, she will naturally send someone to look for me. Since no one is coming now, then there is nothing to worry about."
Nangong Jing asked.
"But this is in the Imperial Palace. If something really happens to the Marquis' wife, what will the Marquis do?"
Shen Yan smiled and didn't reply.
He asked this question.
He has such low emotional intelligence. No wonder he hasn't become a royal consort after all this time.
What else can he do if something happens to his wife?
Of course he charged right in! Are they going to make him a widower?!
As the two were talking, they heard Ye Linglong's face light up with joy.
"My Lord, the Marquis's wife is out!"
Before he finished speaking.
Then Shen Yan suddenly stood up and strode out to greet him.
Nangong Jing glanced at where he was sitting and saw that a corner of the armrest of the chair was missing, as if someone had broken it off.
Thinking of Shen Yan's pretended calmness just now, he couldn't help but shook his head.
Well, the Marquis is indeed not worried “at all”!
…
Return to the Marquis' Mansion.
Upon hearing that Ye Linglong's request had been approved by His Majesty, everyone was very happy for her.
Jiang Wanning originally wanted to hold a grand banquet to celebrate and send her off.
However, His Majesty had just "lost his beloved son", so she couldn't show too much joy, so she just ordered the kitchen to prepare a few delicious dishes and set a small banquet in the mansion.
midnight.
Everyone was a little tipsy, so they went back to their rooms one after another.
In the backyard, a sneaky figure climbed over the wall and just rolled to the ground. When he looked up, he saw a big yellow dog barking at him with bared teeth.
“Woof woof! Woof woof woof!”
Shen Yulin quickly rushed over and covered its mouth: "Shh, stop screaming!"
Before this, he never imagined that one day when he returned home, he would feel like a thief.
In a corner not far away.
The two servants were talking in low voices.
"It seems to be the Third Young Master... Should we kick him out?"
"Let's see what's going on first. The Marquis has just helped his wife back to the house, so it's better not to alarm them."
"That's right, let's take a look."
…
Shen Yulin went all the way to the woodshed.
He heard from the doctor who left the Marquis' Mansion that Bai Wushuang was not burned to death, and her mother had someone apply medicine and bandage her. However, her injuries were serious, and she was unconscious for most of the day before waking up.
He's not here to save people.
I just want to know who saved him.
“Squeak—”
Hearing the door of the woodshed being pushed open, Bai Wushuang lay on the simple bed, looking at the full moon outside the window with a look of despair on her face, and did not turn around to look at the person who came.
It was not until Shen Yulin approached the bed that she curled her lips.
"What are you doing here?"
Shen Yulin stared at her with burning eyes: "Only you know who saved me... Tell me honestly, was that person Ye Linglong?"
Bai Wushuang was too lazy to look at him and turned her head away.
"idiot."
Shen Yulin became angry upon hearing this and grabbed her neck, as if he wanted to strangle her to death.
"Bai Wushuang!"
Bai Wushuang just closed her eyes and laughed at herself.
"So you were stupid... I didn't expect that I was the stupidest one. You heartless men, you all deserve to die!
Even if you knew that it was Miss Ye who saved you, what can you do?
hehe……
She will never like you again in her life."
Shen Yulin knelt down on the ground dejectedly, his face full of pain and guilt.
I was almost going crazy with regret.
"It's her, it's really her... I'm a beast! How could I do that to her... I deserve to die!"
Bai Wushuang sneered: "Then why don't you just die?"
Shen Yulin: "..."
…
After resting in the Marquis' Mansion for two days, Ye Linglong hurried back to Jincheng to recruit soldiers and reorganize the Ye family army!
The eldest princess and Prime Minister Jing both came to see her off.
At the city gate.
Song Zhizhi asked Chunhua to take out a box and handed it to Ye Linglong.
"Keep these banknotes. You are the first true female general in our dynasty. You must make the Ye Family Army bigger and stronger and create greater glory!
Let's fight for the reputation of us women and let those old corrupt and stubborn people who look down on us see that women are not limited to being trapped in the harem, fighting for the favor of men and fighting to the death.
Women can lead troops into battle and become female generals or female marshals!
I'm waiting for you to return triumphantly on horseback and fine clothes!"
Ye Linglong did not refuse. She took the heavy box with both hands and nodded at her vigorously.
"Okay. I'll make sure every penny of your hard-earned money is spent wisely, and I won't let those parasites embezzle a single cent!"
Song Zhizhi waved her hands a little embarrassedly.
"It's not that hard... If you don't have enough, you can always ask me for more. You're welcome."
Murong Qing stepped forward and took a medical book from Xing'er.
Handed it to her.
"Mother said there's a lot of miasma in southern Xinjiang.
I have had a few boxes of medicine prepared, which can be used to relieve the symptoms of inhaling poisonous miasma when necessary. You should take them all with you.
There is also this medical book. I have written down all the methods I have collected to treat external injuries, and selected some prescriptions that are convenient for treatment during marches.
Ask the military doctor to copy a few more copies; they might be useful."
Ye Linglong was very grateful and quickly reached out to take it.
"Your Highness is so thoughtful. Linglong, on behalf of the Ye family army, would like to thank Your Highness in advance!"
Jiang Wanning felt very pleased looking at these good girls in front of him.
Suddenly, two discordant voices came from behind.
"Qingqing!"
"exquisite!"
Jiang Wanning turned around and saw the two brothers Shen Yutang and Shen Yulin jumping off their respective carriages and horses, one in front and one behind.
Then he quickly walked in front of Murong Qing and Ye Linglong.
Someone grabbed Murong Qing's hand and said.
"Qingqing... That day at the Silk and Bamboo Banquet, Murong Yan'er and I were innocent. We had nothing! Can you give me another chance and let me call you daddy?"
Someone grabbed Ye Linglong's hand and said.
"Linglong... I don't expect you to forgive me right away, but could you please not be so cruel and not give me even a little hope?
If you want to reorganize the Ye family army, I can accompany you.
This time, I'll take the bullets and arrows for you, and charge into battle for you... Okay?"
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
