Eagle-eyed and wolf-watching

Chapter 1475 Hunting the Emperor!

Half an hour later, it was completely dark. Ye Mingsheng leaned on his knees, breathing heavily, and sweat kept dripping down his face.

When he first started jogging, Ye Mingsheng was jogging at a steady pace as usual. However, as his troubled mood gradually spread, Ye Mingsheng unconsciously ran faster, and his physical strength was quickly consumed. After running for only half an incense stick of time, Ye Mingsheng had to stop.

Seeing Ye Mingsheng exhausted, Zhang Hu pointed at the pavilion nearby and said:

"Your Majesty, would you like to take a break?"

Ye Mingsheng didn't say anything, just waved his hand, then wiped the sweat off his face and continued to walk out of the imperial garden. Seeing Ye Mingsheng's persistence, Zhang Hu and other guards followed him silently.

Just when Ye Mingsheng was about to walk out of the Imperial Garden, he saw someone walking towards the Imperial Garden in front of him. Ye Mingsheng looked closely and saw that the other person was Concubine Rou Chen Rouer and several palace maids and nannies around her.

Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised to see this. Although it was not yet the hour of You, it was already completely dark. Why was Chen Rouer running to the Imperial Garden at this time instead of staying in her own yard?
Just when Ye Mingsheng had this question in his mind, Chen Rouer also noticed Ye Mingsheng and his group in front of him. The girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly walked up to Ye Mingsheng, saluted, and said in a tender voice:

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Chen Rouer stood up, Ye Mingsheng also asked:
"What are you doing in the Imperial Garden so late at night?"

Facing Ye Mingsheng's question, Chen Rouer did not answer immediately, but came over and took Ye Mingsheng's arm and said playfully:

"Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Seeing Chen Rouer dare to ask him back, Ye Mingsheng was really surprised and hesitated a little. At this time, Chen Rouer was talking to herself:
"If your majesty wants to hear lies, then it is because I was inspired by something, so I came to the Imperial Garden to observe the celestial phenomena at night..."

Ye Mingsheng's heart moved when he heard this, but he still didn't say anything. Seeing that Ye Mingsheng didn't respond, Chen Rouer looked a little disappointed, and her eyes became a little resentful, but she still whispered in Ye Mingsheng's ear:
"But if I'm telling the truth, it's because I missed Your Majesty. I heard that Your Majesty was running in the Imperial Garden, so I wanted to come to the Imperial Garden to meet you by chance!"

Hearing Chen Rouer's straightforward words, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but be very surprised. Since Ye Mingsheng insisted on running, he had met concubines and palace maids several times. These people all wanted to pretend that they had met Ye Mingsheng by chance, but how could Ye Mingsheng not understand their little thoughts?
So even though these people were dressed up to attract a lot of attention, in Ye Mingsheng's eyes they seemed very artificial and did not arouse his interest.

But now Chen Rouer’s frankness gave Ye Mingsheng a novel feeling!

However, what Ye Mingsheng did not expect was that when Chen Rouer saw that Ye Mingsheng had no response, she actually took the initiative and secretly rubbed Ye Mingsheng's arm.

Although it was winter and both of them were wearing thick clothes, they could not feel anything just by rubbing against each other. However, Ye Mingsheng, who had had in-depth exchanges with Chen Rouer, subconsciously imagined the girl's peaks.
This move shocked Ye Mingsheng even more. After all, he and Chen Rouer were not alone at the moment. There were also guards such as Zhang Hu, as well as several maids beside Chen Rouer. It could be said that they were in full view of everyone...

Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng calmly pulled back his arm, and glanced at the guards and palace maids beside him. He saw that these people were all looking at their noses with their eyes, their mouths with their noses, and their hearts with their mouths. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng felt a little relieved, and then looked at Chen Rouer beside him.

At this time, a slight blush appeared on the girl's face, but facing Ye Mingsheng's gaze, she did not dodge or retreat, but looked at Ye Mingsheng bravely.

The girl's gaze was very hot, Ye Mingsheng could feel shyness, desire, and a little admiration!

After a pause, Ye Mingsheng said calmly:
"Don't you know the Queen's orders?"

Facing Ye Mingsheng's question again, Chen Rouer remained frank. She said without any hesitation:
"Know!"

"Then why did you come?"

Chen Rouer looked at Ye Mingsheng and said seriously:

“I miss your majesty! I’m going crazy thinking about it, so even if the queen wants to punish me, I still want to see your majesty, even if it’s just for once…”

Although Ye Mingsheng felt very pleased with Chen Rouer's somewhat corny words, he was instinctively wary. His years of experience told him that people who said such things most likely had ulterior motives!
However, when he raised his head and felt Chen Rouer's gaze again, Ye Mingsheng's vigilance was shaken. He avoided Chen Rouer's gaze and said lightly:
"Go back and take a hot bath! And have a good sleep!"

After saying this, Ye Mingsheng ignored Chen Rouer and walked straight towards his bedroom.

Looking at Ye Mingsheng's departing back, Chen Rouer instinctively wanted to say something, but as she watched Ye Mingsheng walk farther and farther away without any sign of stopping, a feeling of frustration and grievance instantly surged up in Chen Rouer's heart.

After a cup of tea, Chen Rouer returned to her room in great disappointment. Just as she was about to wash up and go to bed, a beautiful and plump palace maid walked into her room and bowed respectfully, saying:
"Congratulations, Madam!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Rouer said with cold eyes:
"Mrs. Mei, you are so bold that you dare to mock me!"

"How dare I mock Her Majesty! I congratulate Her Majesty sincerely!"

Seeing Mei Niang's serious look, Chen Rouer said coldly:

"You said you were sincere, so tell me everything, or I'll let you have a taste of my power!"

Mei Niang was shocked when she heard this. Although she had not been with Chen Rouer for long since entering the palace, she already knew how cruel and ruthless this sweet, pure and harmless girl in front of her was...
Thinking of this, Mei Niang couldn't help but carefully consider her words in her mind, and then she slowly said:
"My lady, please think about who His Majesty is!"

"Your Majesty started as a commoner and in just a few years he conquered the world and created such a great cause. How could he be an ordinary mortal?" "A hero like your Majesty is very suspicious and cautious in his heart. They rarely trust others. Look at the Empress and Concubine Murong. They are both beautiful and intelligent women. They have gone through life and death to give birth to your Majesty's children. But do you think your Majesty trusts them?"

"So if you want to get into His Majesty's heart, it will definitely not be smooth sailing, otherwise the Queen and Concubine Murong would have succeeded long ago. But if you succeed, you will be favored by His Majesty like Concubine Pei!"

Hearing what Mei Niang said, Chen Rouer's cold expression also eased a little, and then she pondered for a moment and said:
"So what are you congratulating me on?"

"Your Majesty, if you want to get into His Majesty's heart, it's like Guan Yu passing through five levels and killing six generals. You have already passed the first level!"

After hearing this, Chen Rouer was also a little confused. After thinking for a while, she still asked in confusion:
"What do you mean?"

"My lady, what did His Majesty say to you last?"

"He told me to go back and take a hot bath and have a good sleep!"

“Think about it, your Majesty. What you did at that time was extremely out of line. You might even be accused of being a DF. But His Majesty did not blame you. Instead, he showed concern for you and asked you to go back and have a good sleep…”

"This is enough to show that His Majesty is not disgusted by what you did. He even thinks it is very novel and exciting!"

"Your Majesty, it is very important to make men feel novel and excited. Think about it, there are so many women in the harem. Even the palace maids are not bad in terms of appearance. Among so many women, how can you get the favor of His Majesty?"

Hearing what Mei Niang said, Chen Rouer seemed to realize something, thought for a moment and said:
"Do you mean for me to gain His Majesty through novelty and excitement?"

After hearing Chen Rouer's answer, Mei Niang gave Chen Rouer a teachable look, and then continued:
"From some rumors in the palace, it seems that although His Majesty has good self-control, he is generally no different from other men. He also likes to pursue novelty and excitement!"

"Although His Majesty rejected you tonight, judging from His Majesty's reaction, I think you have successfully passed this level. Next, as long as His Majesty continues to feel the stimulation from you, His Majesty will slowly fall in love with you!"

Listening to Mei Niang's words, Chen Rouer's eyes gradually brightened, as if she saw a beautiful picture in the future where one day she would be favored by Ye Mingsheng and outshine all the other concubines in the harem, sitting next to Ye Mingsheng and receiving the worship of thousands of subjects.

At this moment, Chen Rouer was immersed in her own fantasy and did not notice Mei Niang who was describing this beautiful scene for her. There was a fleeting flash of contempt and disdain in her eyes...

After a while, Chen Rouer reluctantly ended her fantasy, and after a moment of hesitation, she asked Mei Niang:

"So what do you think I should do next?"

Mei Niang said confidently:
"Your Majesty, the Queen has many eyes and ears in the palace. She will not be able to hide what happened tonight. So if everything goes as expected, she will come to you tomorrow at the earliest or in the next few days at the latest!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of fear flashed in Chen Rouer's eyes, even though in the previous incident, An Miaoyi stood on her side and punished Murong Xinyun.

But in private, An Miaoyi also severely punished Chen Rouer, so when Chen Rouer thought about An Miaoyi finding her again, she couldn't help but feel scared.

Mei Niang seemed to have seen through Chen Rouer's thoughts, but she did not comfort Chen Rouer. Instead, she used provocation:
"If you are afraid now, then kneel down and kowtow to the Queen and fuck her. Then you still have hope of getting her forgiveness!"

Mei Niang's words also reminded Chen Rou'er of some humiliating memories. The anger after the humiliation immediately surged in her heart, and she immediately shouted angrily:
"Shut up! I will never back down! I want to be the queen of the country!"

Listening to Chen Rouer's words, Mei Niang nodded with satisfaction and said:

"My Lady, only those who have endured the most hardships can become the best!"

"Mencius also said that when Heaven bestows a great responsibility on a man, it will first test his mind and will, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, and make him stand up out of thin air and encounter setbacks. This is to make him endure hardship and increase his ability to do what he was not able to do before..."

"You want to become the queen who rules the harem, so you must endure some hardships. Next time the queen punishes you, it won't be in private like last time. She will punish you publicly, but for you, the more severe the queen punishes you, the better!"

Chen Rouer frowned slightly when she heard this. Seeing this, Mei Niang immediately explained:

"Your Majesty, men are born with a desire to protect, especially for a powerful and powerful person like Your Majesty. His desire to protect is even stronger. Didn't Your Majesty protect Concubine Pei in time when the Empress Dowager or the Queen wanted to blame her?"

"If it weren't for your majesty's protection, with Concubine Pei's self-willed character, she would have died eight times already!"

"So if His Majesty knew that you were punished by the Queen because you showed your love to His Majesty, he would definitely feel guilty. If you look more miserable, it will definitely arouse His Majesty's desire to protect you and make him pity you!"

As Mei Niang continued to talk, Chen Rouer's eyes became brighter and brighter. At this moment, Mei Niang emphasized solemnly:
"Your Highness, if my prediction is correct, the Queen will say that you did this because you were greedy for power, but please remember, Your Highness, no matter how the Queen punishes you, you must insist that you did this out of your deep love and respect for His Majesty!"

"It has nothing to do with power or wealth. You don't care about these things at all!"

"Why has Concubine Pei remained in favor for so long? I think the fundamental reason is not that she and His Majesty started from humble beginnings, but that the two of them have a deep relationship!"

"It's because she makes His Majesty feel that she is special. She is different from the other women in the palace who approach His Majesty for power and wealth!"

“So even if the Queen wants to kill you, Your Majesty, you must absolutely die. You are doing this out of your love and respect for His Majesty. Otherwise, it would be beneath your authority and make His Majesty think that you are no different from other women. In this way, His Majesty’s novelty and excitement for you will be greatly reduced…”
