Chapter 143 Ancient Rebellion Foolish Female Supporting Character 13 Grounded? ...
While dining with Han Chengdao, Yan Mi deliberately told some jokes to liven up the atmosphere.
Han Chengdao finally had a smile on his face.
"Although state affairs are also important, I hope Your Majesty will not be too tired and it is more important to take care of your health. If Your Majesty has any worries, you can tell me at any time." Yan Mi took the opportunity to say.
Han Chengdao smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I know my limits."
Yan Mi shook his head. "Your Majesty, you're just trying to coax me. Although I can't share your worries, I will take good care of you in other ways."
Han Chengdao was slightly stunned, but then felt somewhat relieved. "Then I'll trouble you during this time."
Yan Mi nodded, "I will make sure the emperor is well during this period."
Yan Mi did what she said. She took advantage of her free time during the day to read medical books, consulted the imperial physicians about massage techniques, and specially asked the imperial physicians to develop a kind of incense that could calm the mind.
During the day, she prepared meals for Han Chengdao, and when she was with him, she would try her best to regulate his mood and take care of him when he was tired.
At night, Yan Mi would give Han Chengdao a massage. The lit calming incense would soothe Han Chengdao's tense nerves, always allowing him to rest well at night.
After a few days, the investigation finally made progress.
Han Chengdao was furious when he saw the clues. "I hadn't expected the Zhao people to be so well-hidden. Perhaps there are even more implicated individuals above these. I must track them all down and eliminate them all."
Yan Cheng took the order, and when he found out the truth he also found it incredible.
Especially among these people, there are many who were recommended by Yan Mi before. If Yan Mi was also implicated, how would their general's mansion have the face to face Han Chengdao.
"I will definitely investigate it thoroughly." If Yan Mi is really from Zhao, no matter how heartbroken he is, he will eradicate him completely.
"Okay, you go down first." Han Chengdao felt a little breathless.
He sat down dejectedly only after there was no one left in the imperial study.
These days, Yan Mi worked hard to take care of him. He was immersed in it and felt that this was the happiest time in his life. But now he was told that Yan Mi might be collaborating with the enemy.
How could she? How dare she?!
Han Chengdao couldn't believe it, but when he thought about all the previous clues, Yan Mi appeared in them.
He didn't dare to believe it before, and even deliberately ignored Yan Mi, but now the facts are in front of him, and it is difficult for him not to think about it no matter how much he wants to ignore it.
At this time, Eunuch Song's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, you are here. The Emperor has just finished discussing important matters with General Yan. Your timing is perfect."
Yan Mi spoke a few words to Eunuch Song before walking into the imperial study with the meal.
As soon as he entered the imperial study, Yan Mi noticed that the atmosphere inside was not right.
In the past, Han Chengdao should have been dealing with memorials at this time, but now he was sitting on the other side, even covering his forehead, looking uncomfortable.
Yan Mi panicked and ran over quickly. She asked softly, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell again? I'll go summon the imperial physician."
Yan Mi had just taken a step when Han Chengdao grabbed her wrist. She turned around and looked at Han Chengdao, "Your Majesty?"
Han Chengdao waved to the other servants, and everyone rushed out immediately.
He looked up at Yan Mi, his expression painful and his eyes full of cruelty, "Why did you betray me? Am I not good to you?"
Yan Mi didn't quite understand why Han Chengdao suddenly said such inexplicable words, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Why should I betray you?"
Han Chengdao didn't expect Yan Mi to still be playing dumb until now. "Do you need me to point out what good things you've done, Yan Mi?"
Yan Mi panicked immediately when Han Chengdao called her name. Although she didn't know what Han Chengdao was talking about, she apologized immediately, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. Your Majesty, please don't be angry."
Han Chengdao felt extremely sad. He felt that the woman in front of him, whom he loved so much and who had said a few days ago that they would be together for the rest of their lives, was still pretending to be stupid in front of him.
Is he a fool? The court is riddled with holes in Zhao State's infiltration. Perhaps he is not fit to be the emperor at all.
Thinking of this, Han Chengdao felt a fishy taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yan Mi was horrified, "Your Majesty! What's wrong with you? I'll go and call the imperial physician over."
Han Chengdao stopped her and wouldn't let her go out. "Yan Mi, what benefits did the State of Zhao give you?"
Yan Mi was completely stunned and began to panic from the bottom of his heart. Could it be that Han Chengdao already knew?
"I...I didn't." She explained weakly.
Han Chengdao laughed bitterly, "I've already found out, Yan Cheng knows it too, how long do you want to keep pretending?!"
Yan Mi had never thought that Yan Cheng would also know about this. A flash of panic crossed her face, but she quickly suppressed it. "I have nothing to do with the State of Zhao! I don't know what you are talking about, Your Majesty."
Seeing that she refused to admit it, Han Chengdao threw all the clues he had found in front of her and said, "Take a look for yourself!"
Yan Mi only glanced at them and paid no more attention. She knelt down without hesitation and said in a resounding voice, "The people Your Majesty is talking about have had contact with me, but I didn't know they were spies from the State of Zhao. I recommended them to Your Majesty simply because I saw their outstanding talents."
Yan Mi looked at Han Cheng worriedly after she finished speaking, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. If you doubt me, I am willing to be punished. Your Majesty can do whatever you want to those people, and I will never stop you."
Han Chengdao was originally angry, but now he gradually calmed down. He noticed Yan Mi's expression. She appeared calm and composed, and her tone was firm, as if this matter really had nothing to do with her.
Yan Mi's identity is clear. Not only is she the one he deeply loves, but she is also the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion. It is absurd no matter how you look at it, that the daughter of the general who guards the country is collaborating with the enemy.
Han Chengdao didn't ask Yan Mi to stand up. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and called Eunuch Song in.
He ordered: "From today on, Concubine Jin will be confined to her palace for six months. Send people to strictly guard her. Without my permission, Concubine Jin is not allowed to take a single step out of the palace!"
Eunuch Song felt strange, but seeing Han Chengdao's unhappy expression, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Han Chengdao left, leaving only Yan Mi and Eunuch Song in the imperial study.
Eunuch Song walked over to Yan Mi and helped her up. "Your Majesty, why did you make the Emperor angry?"
Yan Mi lowered her eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks. "It's my fault. The emperor's punishment is too light. Eunuch Song, I will return to the palace by myself. You should go see the emperor first. He was so angry with me that he vomited blood just now."
Eunuch Song's eyes widened. His ancestor was really irritating.
"Then we will go see the emperor. Your Majesty, you go back first. We will tell you if the emperor has anything to say." Eunuch Song thought to himself that this was a big deal.
What on earth could have happened to cause such an unpleasant situation?
"Thank you, Eunuch Song. The emperor will need your continued care in the future." Yan Mi wiped away her tears and took out a small wooden box from her sleeve. "This is the newly made incense for calming the spirit. Thank you for your help, Eunuch."
Eunuch Song took it, looked at Yan Mi with complicated eyes, and walked away quickly.
Yan Mi was absent-minded on her way back, and only came to her senses when she bumped into the maids who came to look for him.
"My queen, why did you come back on foot?" The maids were heartbroken.
"I'm fine, I just want to take a walk." Yan Mi looked around. He would never have the chance to see these high walls again.
She smiled bleakly, "Just walk back with me."
The maids watched Yan Mi's thoughts and followed him back slowly.
The time spent back in the palace was very long, so long that Yan Mi felt that it would never be finished in this lifetime.
The moment he saw the palace gate, Yan Mi's tears flowed again.
Behind him, the sound of the guards' armor clashing gradually approached and stopped at the palace gate.
As soon as Yan Mi walked into the bedroom, the guards surrounded it tightly.
This is to monitor her.
The maids were very curious as to why there were guards coming to them.
They also asked Yan Mi about the results of this visit to the Imperial Study, but Yan Mi didn't say a word and locked himself in the room.
The maids looked at each other in confusion. Was there something unpleasant going on?
Later, Eunuch Song brought the imperial edict.
After he left, the maids immediately exploded.
What happened? Their queen was suddenly grounded.
The next day, the news of Yan Mi being under house arrest spread throughout the harem.
Concubine Li felt a sense of satisfaction as if she had avenged her great hatred. Before, she had acted recklessly due to the favor she received, but she did not expect to be confined to her house in the blink of an eye.
When Concubine Jing heard the news, she wanted to go visit Yan Mi, but when she arrived, she was stopped by the guards. "Please go back, Concubine Jing. The Emperor has ordered that no one except those he has specially authorized is allowed to approach this place."
Concubine Jing turned around and went to find Han Chengdao.
When she arrived, Han Chengdao was holding something in his hand, staring blankly at a certain place.
"Your Majesty, why did you order Concubine Jin to be under house arrest?" asked Concubine Jing.
Han Chengdao came back to his senses and looked down at what he had in his hand. When he saw the little wooden horse, he couldn't help but think of Yan Mi's gorgeous face.
"I have my own reasons. Concubine Jing, are you here to blame me?" He hid the little wooden horse without leaving a trace. When he looked at Concubine Jing, he knew what she was here for.
"I'm just curious, and you've confined Concubine Jin to her house for half a year. Isn't that too harsh a punishment?" Concubine Jing lowered her head, enduring Han Chengdao's anger.
"Heavy? You don't even know what she did, yet you dare to say that my punishment for her is heavy?" Han Chengdao snorted coldly.
Concubine Jing remained silent. Something that could make Han Chengdao so angry and cause Yan Mi to be grounded for half a year must be something extraordinary.
"Empress Jin is kind-hearted and devoted to His Majesty. I think His Majesty needs to investigate the matter carefully. It is impossible for Empress Jin to have done anything bad." Concubine Jing still wanted to fight for Yan Mi.
Although she did have selfish motives, she was also a witness to the love between Han Chengdao and Yan Mi for so many years. If the two of them developed a rift and went their separate ways, she would feel a little lost.
Han Chengdao didn't want to mention this matter again. "If Concubine Jing still wants to plead for mercy, she might as well be confined to her house along with Concubine Jin."
Concubine Jing bowed slightly and said, "It is my fault for speaking out of turn. I will take my leave."
After she left, Han Chengdao's gaze once again focused on the little wooden horse in the corner.
Because Yan Mi's identity was so sensitive, he handed over the rest of the investigation to others, and Yan Cheng was persuaded to go back.
Didn't he also hope that Yan Mi had nothing to do with this matter?
It was another night, Yan Mi sat by the window looking at the sky, the moonlit night was also beautiful tonight.
But in the next second, a figure appeared on the wall. Although the figure disappeared in an instant, she still saw the direction the person left.
