The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and all is silent.
Yun Zhuo stood in the night wind, every moment was torture, while Huai Fu and Cui Shaoquan were both the emperor's men.
“Your Highness Prince Jing, why don’t you rest in the pavilion over there? Let me make you a cup of tea?” A young eunuch boldly stepped forward and said to Yun Zhuo.
Huaifu glared at the little eunuch, afraid that he would act on his own and anger Yunzhuo.
However, after pursing his lips slightly, Yun Zhuo followed the little eunuch and sat down in the pavilion, his gaze always fixed on the direction of the emperor's sleeping quarters.
The young eunuch brewed a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.
He lowered his voice and said, "Prince Ding came to the palace before lunch and bribed people to enter Fengwu Palace. He stayed there for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
"After he came out, he went to the Zichen Palace to accompany the Emperor for his meal and to watch over the Emperor during his afternoon nap."
Yun Zhuo listened quietly, her fingers tapping lightly on the table.
The eunuch continued, "After the Emperor woke up from his afternoon nap, Prince Ding ordered someone to serve him tea. The palace maid An'er carried the tea up, and Prince Ding came to receive it himself, but the tea spilled on the ground."
"Then Prince Ding told the Emperor that An'er couldn't even serve tea properly and should be killed. The Emperor actually executed An'er just like that."
“An’er has been serving in the palace for half a year, and it is impossible for her to have made such a small mistake. Moreover, the Emperor has a reputation for benevolence. The mistakes made by his subordinates are much more serious than An’er’s, but they have never been executed.”
Is it Yunchi?
What methods did he use to make the emperor so bloodthirsty?
Yun Zhuo frowned: "Has His Majesty taken the emperor's pulse today?"
The young eunuch replied, "After His Majesty woke up from his afternoon nap, he felt slightly tired. I have already checked his pulse, but there was nothing unusual."
Yun Zhuo instantly thought of Liu Qinghe.
Since those renowned imperial physicians were already under Empress Shen's thumb, who could say that the other imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital did not completely obey Empress Shen's orders?
no.
Ye Qingxue must be in great danger inside the bedchamber!
Yun Zhuo stood up abruptly, whispered a few words to the little eunuch, and then quickly walked towards the emperor's bedroom.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry?" Huaifu saw Yun Zhuo walking hurriedly and immediately stepped forward to ask.
Yun Zhuo said, "I noticed a fire in the nearby palace. Why don't you send someone to check the situation?"
Huaifu and Cui Shao looked over at the same time and indeed saw a faint light slowly rising, which greatly surprised them!
"That palace is so close to Father Emperor's bedchamber, I will go in to protect him!" After saying this, Yun Zhuo rushed into the emperor's bedchamber before Cui Shao and Huai Fu could react.
Even the guards dared not stop them.
Inside the sleeping quarters.
Upon hearing the emperor's words, Ye Qingxue's mind went blank for a moment, and she almost couldn't process what he was saying.
The emperor just stared straight at her with an arrogant expression that seemed to say, "Do you expect me to undress you myself?"
"...Your Majesty, I am Ye Qingxue!" She emphasized the words "I am Ye Qingxue" to make the emperor realize that she was not his concubine!
"The Marquis of Zhongyong is my father!" Ye Qingxue added, reminding the emperor that she had a status and that her father had fought for the country countless times.
Even if the emperor wanted her, he couldn't do it without her being recognized or acknowledged.
He will be drowned in the spittle of his ministers!
However, the emperor didn't care at all and moved closer to her: "I know!"
Ye Qingxue kept retreating until her back was against a pillar, with nowhere left to go!
"You are the one I want! Ye Qingxue!" the emperor said, his words clear and powerful.
As if afraid Ye Qingxue wouldn't understand.
He reached out towards Ye Qingxue's clothes.
Ye Qingxue was shocked and pushed the emperor away. Then she pulled out all the hairpins from her hair, and her hair was instantly disheveled!
"Hahaha!"
Ye Qingxue laughed maniacally, her laughter chilling and eerie.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
She then made red marks on her neck, cheeks, and arms, from which blood oozed out.
Ye Qingxue seemed oblivious to the pain.
Seeing the emperor looking over, she pointed to a spot behind him: "Your Majesty, do you see that? There, there's someone hanging from the rafters, staring at you..."
What? The emperor was stunned, and his composure crumbled for a moment. He refused to believe what Ye Qingxue said.
But at this moment, Ye Qingxue seemed to be insane, her pupils unfocused, as if she had truly seen something unclean.
"Your Majesty, she's really staring at you! Don't you see? She looks just like... just like Consort Yi!"
Yi Fei!
The emperor was startled; he remembered Consort Yi.
She had been injured for him and was deeply in love with him, but unfortunately, her father and brothers rebelled, and he disposed of Consort Yi as well.
But he knew that Consort Yi was innocent, so he always felt guilty. Moreover, he only learned later that Consort Yi's father and brothers had not rebelled at all, but were just framed!
His feelings of guilt towards Consort Yi grew stronger.
He also dreamed of Consort Yi several times, crying out his grievances to him and asking him why he was so cruel and showed no regard for their past relationship.
So, it was Consort Yi who came?
Seeing that the emperor had no time to pay attention to her, Ye Qingxue took the opportunity to stumble and run away.
Running and shouting, "It's Consort Yi! She's here to take my life! There's a ghost! Help!"
Unexpectedly, I bumped into a solid embrace.
Ye Qingxue was startled, and the other person's hands were already on her shoulders: "It's me!"
It's Yunzhuo!
Previously, Ye Qingxue had never realized that a man's chest could give people such a strong sense of security!
"What happened?" Yun Zhuo asked, his voice tense.
