Chang Anqing

Chapter 199 Suspicious

In this room, as soon as Emperor Yuan Cheng entered the Qingsi Hall, he looked at the brightly lit area. The busy palace people saw him and retreated to both sides to salute. After they crossed the threshold, they walked around several gates and screen curtains , until the last soft curtain, the maid guarding there has already lifted the curtain respectfully and lowered her head.

The inside of the room was warmer than the outside at the moment. Looking up, Emperor Yuan Cheng saw Concubine Shu Shangguan lying on the bed, with a tired and soft smile, and Wei Jieyu sitting beside the bed nervously, looking Eyes full of worry.

"His Majesty--"

When Emperor Yuan Cheng walked a few steps closer, Concubine Shu, who was leaning there, had already looked over, and the smile on her lips deepened a lot.

"His Majesty."

Hearing Concubine Shu's reminder, Wei Jieyu turned her head and got up quickly to salute. Emperor Yuan Cheng gave a gentle "hmm", walked up to him and held Wei Jieyu's hand casually, and then sat down on her side naturally. From the seat where she was sitting, she reached out to caress Concubine Shu's hand that was placed outside the brocade quilt and said, "You fainted after hearing about the banquet, did you get hurt? What's going on now?"

Seeing Emperor Yuan Cheng's soft-spoken appearance, Concubine Shu shook her head with a smile and said, "It's okay, fortunately, Yuxiao and the others helped me in time, and sister Jieyu hurriedly invited the imperial physician, who just now The concubine saw that there is nothing serious, just need to rest for a few days—"

After all, Concubine Shu turned her head to look at Wei Jieyu who was standing silently beside her without any greed, and said, "Sister Jieyu has helped me a lot these days, and the credit is indispensable. Today's banquet is also thanks to her—"

Hearing Concubine Shu praise herself in front of Emperor Yuan Cheng, Wei Jieyu's back stiffened, and she bowed her head a little embarrassedly: "Sister Concubine Shu is absurd, these days the concubine is nothing more than a helper, everything is prepared. The concubine would never dare to take credit for my sister's achievements."

Seeing that the empresses and concubines were so humble and harmonious, Emperor Yuan Cheng's expression softened a lot, and he immediately turned his head to Wei Jieyu and praised: "What Concubine Shu said is that Jieyu has worked hard recently, and now that the new year has come, it's too late It’s time for a promotion.”

"Tomorrow, let the imperial edict draw up the decree, and the Jin Dynasty will be filled with Yuan."

Hearing Emperor Yuan Cheng's words, before Wei Jieyu could react, Concubine Shu reminded with a smile: "Congratulations, Sister Chongyuan."

Seeing Concubine Shu who was full of congratulations, and Emperor Yuan Cheng who was smiling gently on one side, Wei Jieyu immediately saluted and thanked him excitedly, but she almost didn't shed tears.

"Since the empress has been inconvenient, she has always seen your hard work in her eyes, and she is always full of praise for me. She also mentioned the promotion before. Today, I can take it as a favor from her."

Hearing that Emperor Yuan Cheng did not forget to mention Empress Yang at this moment, and seeing Wei Jieyu salute Empress Yang again, the smile in Concubine Shu's eyes faded a lot.

This room, Wei Jieyu saw that Emperor Yuancheng was accompanying Concubine Shu, so she took the initiative to retreat very politely, and after Emperor Yuancheng said a few words to Concubine Shu, she watched Yuxiao and Yuhan walk away with a few maids When he came in, he placed some food that could be digested at night.

"Why haven't you eaten tonight?"

Hearing Emperor Yuan Cheng's question, Yu Xiao who was on the side placed the chopsticks and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the lady is busy with the family banquet today, and has never been able to eat raw, so the servants have prepared some."

"How can you do without food?"

Emperor Yuan Cheng looked at Concubine Shu and said, "I will accompany you tonight."

Seeing this, Concubine Shu pursed her lips and smiled, and Yu Xiao who was beside her hurriedly set up the small bowls for the two of them. Just as the maids retreated, Emperor Yuan Cheng watched Yuhan adding incense to the censer in the room.

"The fragrance here smells good."

Concubine Shu heard the words and looked over, and then she smiled and helped Emperor Yuancheng to pick up the dishes: "I'm always tired these days, the imperial physician said that I lack of energy and blood, so he gave me this incense prescription, so I just eat it every day. used."

Emperor Yuan Cheng nodded lightly when he heard the words, and started talking with Concubine Shu without asking any further questions.

After finishing his meal, Emperor Yuan Cheng took a sip of tea, and heard Concubine Shu beside him say: "Your Majesty—"

Seeing Emperor Yuan Cheng turn his head, Concubine Shu said considerately as always: "Tonight is the Lantern Festival, according to the rules of our ancestors, His Majesty should spend the festive season with His Highness."

Hearing Concubine Shu's words, Emperor Yuan Cheng couldn't help being surprised, but Concubine Shu in front of him didn't show any hypocrisy, on the contrary, she comforted her warmly and sincerely: "What's more, His Highness will go to Yuqing Temple tomorrow to pray for Prince Wenhui. I need His Majesty's company more than my concubine, it's still early, I ask Your Majesty to drive the Lizheng Hall."

"Wanniang—"

In the silent air, when Concubine Shu heard Emperor Yuan Cheng call her boudoir nickname, her heart twitched slightly, and then she smiled even more warmly and reached out her hand to caress her.

"Your Majesty will accompany me to eat this meal tonight, and I will be satisfied."

Seeing the beautiful woman in front of him gently pushing himself towards the Lizheng Palace with a smile, Emperor Yuan Cheng's heart was rarely touched by it. After holding Concubine Shu's hand tightly, he gave many gentle instructions, and then got up and walked towards the Lizheng Palace. Go to the Lizheng Palace.

Seeing that gentle and jade-like figure completely disappear into the room, the smile in Concubine Shu's eyes stopped for a moment, but it became much gloomy.

"Deal with it."

Hearing Concubine Shu's three short words, Yuhan at the side followed her gaze and saw the incense that was still burning, and hurriedly took the incense burner down.

……

In this room, Empress Yang in the Lizheng Hall was sitting in front of the dressing table and let Jiamo remove the hairpin. While talking with Li Sui, she heard someone come in through the curtain. When she saw that it was Emperor Yuan Cheng, she was also surprised. : "Shiro?"

Amidst the sound of everyone saluting, Emperor Yuan Cheng stepped forward with a gentle smile, naturally pressed down Empress Yang's body who was about to stand up, and took the sandalwood comb on the dressing table to comb Empress Yang's hair.

"Aman is still there—"

Empress Yang blushed when she saw this, and quickly stretched out her hand to stop him, but Emperor Yuan Cheng hid his hand, turned his head to look at Li Sui who was sitting beside him and said narrowly: "Tonight is the Lantern Festival, Ah Man will take pity on me, my brother." , let your elder sister accompany me."

"His Majesty--"

Hearing Empress Yang's embarrassing call out, Emperor Yuan Cheng's eyes were full of doting love, but at this moment, Li Sui looked at this scene, and he was no longer happy for Sister A, or even gratified. Nothing but calm.

But she knew that in front of Sister A, she still wanted to temporarily act out such a scene.

"That's all, that's all—"

Seeing Empress Yang rarely showing her shy appearance like a little daughter, Li Sui got up and said, "Niannu accompany me back to the palace."

Seeing that everyone in the room retreated, Emperor Yuan Cheng kept his hands in his hands, still very gently passing his left hand through Empress Yang's beautiful hair, stroking the soft black hair, and combing it bit by bit like a treasure.

"Nong not only cuts the cloud girl, but Lang also divides the hair. Looking for a place where there is no one, we will make a sympathetic knot."

Hearing Emperor Yuan Cheng's gentle and tender voice reciting this affectionate verse, the embarrassment on Empress Yang's cheeks gradually turned into a happy smile.

"Niang Yu-"

Hearing Emperor Yuan Cheng's low call, Empress Yang smirked and said "Yes", the next moment she felt a pair of warm hands firmly encircling her from behind, and the familiar voice whispered and touched her ears.

"In the coming year, let's go to Jiangnan and Yangzhou together. We don't need anyone, just you and me—"

"Go and take a look at the rivers and mountains that belong to us, okay?"

In the silent air, when Empress Yang heard this most affectionate promise, tears gradually welled up in her eyes, she nodded and smiled, "Okay."

At this moment when Li Suifang returned to his hall, he saw Yu Nu who had been waiting for a long time. After waving the crowd away, Yu Nu stepped forward and told all the accidents that happened tonight. Just when Li Sui raised his head in surprise, Yu Nu pressed Then a letter was handed over.

"Ms. Jiang sent it quietly."

Li Sui took it from his hand when he heard the words, and as soon as Fang opened it, he looked at the jade slave in front of him, and when he read on, his eyes were much deeper.

"The princess?"

Seeing that Li Sui was going to get up after reading the letter, Nian Nu and Yu Nu followed in surprise, but Li Sui didn't say much, just silently walked towards the bedroom where Queen Yang lived, but when she arrived at the palace, When they were outside, they saw that Jiamo, Chengde and others were waiting outside, while the lights in the hall had already been extinguished.

"Why is the princess here?"

Seeing Li Sui rushing over, both Jiamo and Chengde were a little surprised. Seeing her looking at the hall, Jiamo just said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness has already gone to bed, what's the princess?"

Hearing these words, Li Sui tightened his hands slightly, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered something, let's talk about it tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Li Sui turned around and closed his thick hood and cloak, but his eyes were serious.

"As soon as Sister leaves the palace tomorrow, let He Lianrong do the work, there is no need to wait any longer."

Hearing Li Sui's instructions, Nian Nu and Yu Nu didn't ask any more questions, they just bowed their heads in response.

At this moment, Li Sui recalled the letter sent by Jiang Lihua, and thought of the strange things that Emperor Yuan Cheng encountered twice, both on the way to Qingsi Temple, and each time he was at Yongdemen. Come to think of it, the person behind this is undoubtedly Concubine Shu.

Others don't know, but she does know that Concubine Shu knows the truth about Sister's loss of her son. By doing so, she is risking to touch the deepest secret in Emperor Yuan Cheng's heart.

Why on earth would she do this?
At this moment, Li Sui was deeply involved, and felt that everything was messed up again.

She hasn't done anything to Concubine Shu for the time being, it's all because Sister is still in the palace.

Only when Sister A is out of the palace, within the protection of their Li family, to ensure her absolute safety, can she act without fear.In order not to startle the snake, and anger a lunatic like Concubine Shu, I don't know what to do to Sister.

But seeing this letter today made her gradually suspicious. If this matter was indeed done by Concubine Shu, she would never do these meaningless and suspicious things for nothing. What?
Thinking of this, Li Sui couldn't help but feel a little dignified.

"Qingsi Palace, have you made any unexpected moves these days?"
