Chapter 72 The Queen was Stimulated
Yu Chan fell to her knees and cried, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I don't know who hid so many poisonous scorpions in Chen Ronghua's bed. If Chen Ronghua hadn't noticed something was wrong, I'm afraid something would have happened by now! Please, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please help Chen Ronghua!"
"What!"
Emperor Yuan Yong and the Empress' expressions changed drastically!
Emperor Yuan Yong let go of Xu Lanshan and stepped forward himself, and the empress hurriedly followed.
No one dared to move those poisonous scorpions. They were still there, crawling lazily, emitting a cold and dark light under the candlelight, which made people get goosebumps and feel creepy!
"How can this be possible!"
Emperor Yuan Yong was furious. "I really didn't expect this, humph!"
The queen moved her lips and her face turned pale.
Xu Lanshan started crying again, wiping her tears with her handkerchief. "Your Majesty, I have always been cautious and kind to others. I don't know when I offended someone so cruelly that they wanted to gain my trust! What did I do wrong?"
Emperor Yuan Yong sneered, "I don't know you yet? Of course it's not you who did anything wrong!"
Some people couldn't stand him doting on her a little more.
Can't wait to get started!
Right under his nose!
Thinking that his concubines in the harem had hidden such a poisonous snake, Emperor Yuan Yong was furious.
Can't bear to see him doting on Lan'er? He's so rebellious that he insists on doting on her!
The Queen knelt down and said, "It is my fault, Your Majesty, that I have failed in my duty. Please punish me."
Upon seeing this, all the palace maids and eunuchs, except Dong Zhi and others who were in Wan'an Hall, knelt down immediately.
Seeing this, Xu Lanshan was about to kneel, but Emperor Yuan Yong firmly grasped her arm and held her up. He looked at the Empress coldly and said, "Such an appalling thing happened in the harem, and the Empress is solely responsible. The Empress doesn't have to worry about just being a good person. It's time to use some tricks!"
The queen's face was flushed with embarrassment and she said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Dong Zhi!"
"The servant is here."
"You are to investigate this matter yourself and ask Yu Huai to fully cooperate."
"Yes, I obey your order."
Yu Huai was the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards of Emperor Yuan Yong. He was a martial arts expert, loyal, and also his confidant.
The queen was startled and dared not say a word, let alone argue.
The Emperor doesn't believe her...
Something like this had happened in Yulinglong Hall, and Dong Zhi and the others still needed to investigate. Naturally, Xu Lanshan couldn't stay here anymore, so Emperor Yuan Yong said, "It's late at night, Queen, go back and rest. I will take Chen Ronghua back to Wan'an Palace, and she will stay there for the next few days."
The Queen originally wanted to arrange another place for Xu Lanshan to live, but when she heard this, she did not dare to refute it. She could only agree and take her leave with Nanny Yan and others.
Xu Lanshan's beautiful eyes were filled with tears. Her slender fingers gently tugged at Emperor Yuan Yong's sleeve, and she cried tearfully, "Your Majesty, I almost, almost didn't get to see you..."
"No," Emperor Yuan Yong's heart skipped a beat and his chest felt a little suffocated. He subconsciously thought about what would happen if something happened to her, but found that he couldn't even think about it and he couldn't accept it at all.
Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't help but hold her hand tightly: "Didn't Lan'er say that I would protect her? Then I will always protect Lan'er and keep her safe!"
"Yes, I will definitely turn misfortune into blessing. Even if it is like today, I am still fine!" Xu Lanshan burst into laughter.
"Well, it will certainly be like this in the future." Emperor Yuan Yong smiled and took her back to Wan'an Hall.
The queen returned to Changchun Palace with a calm expression. Nanny Yan considerately dismissed the servants and served alone.
The Queen slammed her palm down on the couch, gritted her teeth and said coldly, "This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"
The queen was not only angry, but also sad and very uncomfortable.
When something like this happened in the harem, she was reprimanded by the emperor and had nothing to say. Naturally, she hated the person who secretly committed the crime. But her anger and sadness... were not entirely about this.
She had to admit, she was irritated.
When she saw Chen Ronghua crying pitifully and throwing herself into the emperor's arms, she was really stimulated.
She had never taken the concubines seriously. What good was it to be a favored concubine? Flowers cannot stay in bloom forever. Even the most favored ones will eventually lose their favor. But the queen sat back and watched.
But as an empress, she was required to be dignified, virtuous, graceful, and elegant. She was the mother of the nation, a role model for all women. She could never lose her composure in public, nor could she, like a favored concubine, weep and throw herself into the emperor's arms.
But the emperor is her legitimate husband!
Obviously, she is the one who is most qualified to do this, right?
At that moment, the Queen subconsciously felt a little envious of Xu Lanshan...
She suppressed her emotions for a long time, but now that she was back in Changchun Palace, the emotions surged up and she finally couldn't control them anymore and burst out.
Nanny Yan guessed something, and felt great sympathy for her master, and became even more disgusted with Xu Lanshan.
She is not worthy of being on stage. She is a despicable vixen who knows all kinds of despicable tricks. She even dares to do that in front of the queen. She has absolutely no shame!
But Nanny Yan didn't dare to say this to the Queen, because she knew that the Queen would definitely not want anyone to expose what she was thinking at the moment.
Seeing that the Empress's breathing had gradually stabilized, she must have gradually calmed down. Nanny Yan gently advised, "Your Majesty, please calm down. What happened in the harem is indeed shocking. It's no wonder that the Emperor is angry. It's a good idea for the Emperor to let Eunuch Dong and Commander Yu investigate. This will save Your Majesty from any embarrassment if they find out... It shows that the Emperor still values Your Majesty!"
"...Chen Ronghua does have some cunning tricks and schemes. What man doesn't like a gentle, considerate, and pitiful concubine? But with that attitude, she can only be a concubine! The more favored she is, the sooner the Majesty's wish will be fulfilled, right? That's a good thing."
The Queen had already regained her graceful composure. Upon hearing this, she felt even more relieved and relieved. "Mammy, you're right. I think so too!"
Yes, she is the one and only queen! Just because of this uniqueness, she doesn't need to care about anything else, right?
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Mammy, who did this?"
Nanny Yan: "Except for that person, I can't think of anyone else. Let's see how Eunuch Dong and Commander Yu investigate."
The Queen smiled and said, "Madam, you are right. Let's see what Eunuch Dong and Commander Yu do! I am a little tired and need to rest. Madam, go and rest too."
The Queen couldn't help but feel uncomfortable again. Originally, the Emperor was going to stay overnight. But now——
Isn't this equivalent to her, the queen, being snatched away by Chen Ronghua?
This feels really bad...
In the Wan'an Hall, Emperor Yuan Yong and Xu Lanshan went to bed quickly.
Xu Lanshan still looked a little pitiful, hugging Emperor Yuan Yong tightly and snuggling into his arms.
