Chapter 119 What Compensation Do You Want?
Xu Lanshan: “…”
This is fine to understand, after all, who would be willing to share it with others if they can have it exclusively?
"I dare not..."
It’s not that I don’t want to, I don’t dare.
Emperor Yuan Yong looked at her and said nothing for a long time.
Xu Lanshan was a little nervous. Was this - was the test a bit too much?
It's impossible to say that there wasn't a hint of disappointment in her heart, but Xu Lanshan deliberately made herself ignore this feeling. She curled her lips, still smiling brightly, "Your Majesty, I was just joking with you. You see, I was saying that you can't be too confident. Otherwise, hmph, this time is fine, but next time, be careful that I won't give you a way out and make you lose face!"
Emperor Yuan Yong laughed heartily, holding her in his arms, and whispered over her head, "In this harem, the only one I like is Lan'er. It doesn't seem to matter whether others like her or not..."
He had never thought about this problem before, but at this moment he subconsciously thought about it seriously. It seemed that even if the other concubines were gone, it would not be a big deal, but without Lan'er, he had been feeling very irritable these past few days.
It’s always different, different!
Xu Lanshan was stunned - what did she hear?
Xu Lanshan snuggled up to Emperor Yuan Yong's chest and rubbed it, the corners of her lips unconsciously raised a little higher. Regardless of how true it was, and she was not stupid enough to take it completely as the truth, she had to say that she was still very happy to hear it.
"Your Majesty knows how to coax me!" Since the emperor is willing to coax her, don't blame her for being so. Xu Lanshan said coquettishly, "Yesterday you followed Concubine Yu away, and now you have made up a lot of reasons why you had to leave. Humph, if you leave, you leave. No matter how many reasons you give, it doesn't matter. I was so angry yesterday that I didn't eat dinner or sleep at all. I was angry all night..."
Emperor Yuan Yong: “…”
"You really are..." Emperor Yuan Yong was surprised, feeling both amused and distressed. Lan'er really loved him so much!
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry for wronging you, Lan'er. From now on, I'll only go with Lan'er, how about that? Well, Lan'er was wronged yesterday. What compensation do you want? I'll give it to you."
Xu Lanshan's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Emperor Yuan Yong laughed, his eyes became more doting, he was so easy to coax.
"Then I have an unwelcome request. I will not blame Your Majesty whether it is granted or not. I just want to say this. Your Majesty, can you take me out of the palace incognito for a stroll?"
"What?"
"Ah, never mind if it doesn't work out!"
Emperor Yuan Yong was really at a loss this time. Lan'er's requests always caught him off guard!
This was originally impossible, but when he saw her beautiful eyes dimmed with disappointment, Emperor Yuan Yong suddenly felt reluctant. Isn't it just a matter of taking her on a secret visit? It seems that it is not impossible.
"Why not? Since I've promised Lan'er, it's natural! I was planning to leave the palace in the next few days, and I'll take you with me."
"Yes, thank you for your grace, Your Majesty! How about I disguise myself as a maid and serve Your Majesty?"
Emperor Yuan Yong smiled and said, "Hmm!"
Xu Lanshan was really smiling from ear to ear, as she was pleasantly surprised.
She was in the harem after traveling through time, so how could she not be curious about what the outside world was like? However, it was obvious that as a concubine in the harem, it would be a dream to want to go out and see the world.
Such an opportunity is hard to come by, how can you not be happy?
She couldn't even help but secretly think, if there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be three... steady wins the race!
Emperor Yuan Yong glanced at the woman, whose smile was as bright as a spring flower, and jokingly said, "Are you so happy about this? I thought that even if Lan'er didn't want to sleep with me, she would still ask for clothes, jewelry, antiques, and curios!"
Xu Lanshan smiled and said, "The Emperor has given me countless clothes, jewelry, antiques, and curios. I have a lot! As for sleeping with you—"
She asked in surprise, "Isn't this what we originally wanted? Doesn't the Emperor want me to sleep with him?"
Emperor Yuan Yong was stunned and burst into laughter!
"Lan'er is right!"
His heart was moved, and he held her face in his hands and kissed her.
The reconciliation after the quarrel became even stronger, and the two people who had not been close to each other for many days felt reluctant to part.
After a long kiss, Emperor Yuan Yong held her tightly in his arms and whispered in her ear, "Are we going to Lianyi Palace or Ganyuan Palace?"
"Would you please go to my place?"
"good!"
Emperor Yuan Yong smiled and embraced her and left.
When the two returned to Lianyi Palace, Emperor Yuan Yong could no longer hold back and carried the person horizontally into the bedroom.
Dong Zhi and the others' hearts were pounding. They lowered their heads and pretended nothing had happened and saw nothing. Yu Chan and Yu Juan both blushed and retreated silently.
In the bedroom, a short separation is better than a new marriage.
That night, Xu Lanshan didn't have a good dinner. She was angry the previous night and tired tonight. But she slept soundly and deeply tonight. Besides having someone to cuddle with, she was also tired.
Yu Huai found out the results the next day.
Following Su Ying's trajectory, bloodstains were found in another place, which should be the first scene of Su Ying's death.
In other words, after Su Ying died, her body was carried to a small garden near Lianyi Palace and dumped there, rather than being attacked and killed near Lianyi Palace.
Xu Lanshan was no longer suspected of anything.
Yu Huai found a small handful of soil at the scene of Su Ying's death. This small handful of soil was completely different from the one at the scene of the incident. After asking the craftsman from the Flower Gardening Bureau, Yu Huai learned that this was a special soil for caring for Su Minglan. In the entire harem, only the Empress Dowager of the Cining Palace and Concubine Lian had this kind of orchid.
Naturally, this could not have been done by the Queen Mother, so it could only have been done by Concubine Lian.
Even though Yu Huai was Emperor Yuan Yong's confidant and the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, he did not dare to search Concubine Lian's palace easily, so he reported everything to Emperor Yuan Yong.
Emperor Yuan Yong sneered and handed the case over to the empress and Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu who were in charge of the six palaces.
Yu Huai was not suitable to continue the investigation, so he asked the Queen and others to investigate.
This matter quickly spread throughout the harem, and everyone was shocked!
After being shocked, I thought about it carefully and found it very reasonable.
Concubine Lian and Concubine Chen had always been at odds. The last person Su Ying had seen in public was Concubine Chen. It wasn't surprising that Concubine Lian and Concubine Nian would kill her and frame Concubine Chen...
The Queen sneered, "No wonder Concubine Lian is so talkative. She wants the Ministry of Punishment to take Concubine Chen away before everything is clear. So that's why! If it's really her, she'd be eager to close the case as soon as possible!"
Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu did not dare to say it openly, but their expressions showed that they agreed with it.
The Queen ordered Concubine Lian to be brought to Fengwu Palace for questioning.
Before she could finish, Concubine Lian was furious, her eyebrows raised. "Who is wrongly accusing me? Is it Concubine Chen? Ask her to come and confront me face to face! I hate her, but if I really want to do something to her, I will do it. Why go to such trouble?"
