Chapter 31, Is the Emperor Sick?

"Could it be that my beloved concubine is confused in her sleep?"

A deep and hoarse voice sounded in his ears, and the sleepiness on Shen Qingtang's face disappeared instantly.

She... is she dreaming?
The person who shouldn't be in Fanghua Palace, not only came at this time, but also -

Shen Qingtang stood in the water in disbelief until the slender hand reached the water covered with flower petals. Then she turned back with her eyes wide open like a frightened cat.

Wow...

There was a sound of water, and as soon as Shen Qingtang turned around, he was held in someone's arms.

The water stains on her body soaked the ink-colored collar of Emperor Yuji's robe embroidered with a pattern of a soaring dragon over the sea.

Even through the thin, damp clothes, she could clearly feel the excitement and heat raging in his chest.

Pfft!

Pfft!

It was so strong and powerful that it seemed to melt and devour her entire body.

In the end, it was still too shocking that Shen Qingtang hasn't recovered yet, and his already sleepy eyes are even more blurry and hazy.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Emperor Yuji pinched Shen Qingtang's chin lightly and said with a dangerous look, "Why, I can't come?"

"Not at all."

As Shen Qingtang's eyes moved, she pressed her slightly hot cheek against his palm and rubbed it affectionately.

"Tang'er wishes you could come here every day, but..." Shen Qingtang mustered up her courage, stood on tiptoe and hooked the slender neck of Emperor Yu Ji, exhaling as sweet as orchid and said, "You came from the Queen's Kunning Palace to Tang'er's Fanghua Palace. Tang'er is worried that the Queen will be sad."

This was the first time she had taken the initiative.

However, although Shen Qingtang's behavior was bold and provocative, she kept dodging his gaze and never dared to look directly at Emperor Yu Ji, for fear that the shyness and nervousness hidden in her heart would be accidentally revealed in front of the young emperor.

however--

Shen Qingtang's ears trembled, and her red earlobes were being played with in someone's hands.

"Tang'er, aren't you afraid that the Queen will vent her anger on you?"

Shen Qingtang shuddered for a moment, and said frankly: "Tang'er wasn't born with a brave heart, how can you not be afraid?"

"But rather than being afraid, Tang'er believes more in Your Majesty that you will protect Tang'er!" Shen Qingtang's eyes were surprisingly bright, filled with unreserved trust and reliance on Emperor Yu Ji.

She was afraid of anything and anyone that was not in her favor, but rather than being afraid, she believed that her 'husband' would protect her and become her strongest shelter in the future, guarding everything she had!
Emperor Yuji paused with his fingertips.

"So even if you might be implicated by Concubine Zhang tonight, you are not afraid?"

"The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid." Shen Qingtang's eyes were bright, and he said crisply: "Tang'er has never done anything wrong. If you knew that Tang'er was innocently implicated, Tang'er believed that you would definitely restore Tang'er's justice and innocence."

"Your Majesty, you are Tang'er's 'husband', Tang'er believes in you!"

The moment their eyes met, Emperor Yu Ji could see from Shen Qingtang's clear and firm eyes the warm and pure surging love for him that was deeply buried in her heart.

It seems like this love will not change even if the seas run dry and the rocks crumble.

In her pure feelings that were not flattered by power and status, Emperor Yu Ji felt an unprecedented and novel sense of satisfaction.

Her unreserved sincerity is like the dawn that shatters the darkness, warm and rare in the world.

...Is Concubine Shu really so deeply in love with me?

As if he was scalded, Emperor Yu Ji avoided Shen Qingtang's gaze and pressed her into the water with his right hand.

The water droplets splashed on his face, and Shen Qingtang was stunned.

"…Your Majesty?" Are you sick?!
She had been preparing to express her true feelings for so long. Even if there was no touching or passionate kiss, he shouldn't have pushed her into the water, right?! Is this person allergic to true feelings?!
"Cough cough!"

Realizing that he had overreacted, Emperor Yu Ji clenched his right fist, pressed it to his lips and coughed twice.

"The Queen is kind and generous. She knows that I came to see you. She won't hold it against you. You can rest assured."

When Queen Ye was mentioned, Emperor Yu Ji's expression instantly returned to normal. His narrow and long phoenix eyes swept over Shen Qingtang who was soaking in the water. When his thin lips opened and closed, he almost asked someone to jump out of the water and beat him up.

"My dear, your complexion is as white as jade. If you soak for a while, it won't be beautiful anymore."

After saying that, he turned around and left, completely unaware that Shen Qingtang was almost rolling his eyes to the sky.

She's not dead, how can she still be revived? !
Shen Qingtang was unhappy, and even when he returned to bed, his face was gloomy and resentful.

Emperor Yu Ji raised his eyes, reached out his big hands and pulled her into his arms.

Perhaps because of Shen Qingtang's heartfelt words, the gap between him and Shen Qingtang as a monarch and his subject seemed to have melted away a little, and he felt a little more love for her from the bottom of his heart.

Emperor Yuji pinched her round and small nose, narrowed his eyes and said, "How dare you! You dare to look at me with this expression, do you really think I won't punish you?"

Shen Qingtang, who was sulking at the moment, was not really afraid of him. Her pair of watery eyes moved around, revealing a charming charm that she herself was not aware of.

"Punish me if you want. I've already been scorned by you."

Before Shen Qingtang could finish his words, he was overwhelmed by the arrogant look of Emperor Yuji.

"You have such a bad temper. If I don't take good care of you, I don't know how you will piss me off in the future..."

As he spoke, all of Emperor Yuji's punishments were hidden within the bed curtains.

……

At night, no one knew that Emperor Yuji, who was supposed to be in Kunning Palace, would suddenly visit Fanghua Palace.

Hidden in a corner of the deep palace, a faint candlelight flickered in the windy and rainy night, sometimes bright and sometimes dimmed, as if it could be swallowed up by the darkness at any time.

The shadows of people were interweaving, and there were also murmurings of dissatisfaction.

"You created such a good opportunity for her, but she turned out to be so useless. She is really a waste!!!"

pat!

"There's a lot of time ahead, what are you afraid of?"

The tabletop made a slight sound, and the beads that had been played with by someone for years were placed on the table by their owner amid the heavy burning incense.

Her nonchalant attitude made those who complained even more dissatisfied.

"The baby didn't come out, but the woman is safe and sound, so you're not angry?"

However, a silent and depressing atmosphere permeated the bedroom.

thump!
The sound of two kneeling knees could be heard from under the heavy curtains. Under the dim light, the kneeling figure gently picked up the delicate jade feet that were stepping on the ground, placed them in front of him, and massaged her carefully.

"...What are your plans for the future?"

"Planning?" The woman half-raised her head and said lazily, "No wonder men love the land of tenderness. With such a beautiful girl, I will play with her for a while. It will be a fun thing to do."

However, as soon as the woman finished speaking, the man who was massaging her feet hummed softly and took a step closer to her.

"Is the slave not good enough? She has nothing good except her face!"

However, the woman who closed her eyes and enjoyed it did not give any response. After the endless silence, the man who had been waiting for her also slumped his shoulders in disappointment.

"I forgot that I am just a substitute..."
