Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 116 Incident 2
Qin Yunguang walked over with Ji Liangruo, saw the ink-stained paper on the table, and asked Ji Liangruo, "What are you writing so late?"

"I was depressed, and wanted to write a few poems to relieve myself, but I couldn't," she said.

"Why is there pen and ink in the room?" He twisted the paper, and the pen on it rolled down the table to the ground.

"The queen mother asked me to write the art of war, and put a copy everywhere, so that I can write it down whenever I think of it."

"Do you remember?" Qin Yunguang asked her, and then smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, anyway, I know, you just don't want to remember! Anyway, half of the book is enough now, when I need the other half , you should be willing to remember." As he spoke, his hands lingered on her face.

Ji Liangruo hid back, he froze for a moment, and said to Ruixue: "You step back."

Rui Xue glanced at Ji Liangruo worriedly, and walked out slowly.

Qin Yunguang walked towards the bed with Ji Liangruo in his arms, but Ji Liangruo pushed him away: "Your Majesty—"

"What? Still want to reject me?" He narrowed his eyes, "The first time is over, why do you care about the second time? You will be my man all your life!"

Then, he saw the ashes of paper on the ground: "Is it important to burn what was written?"

"No, nothing..." Ji Liangruo avoided his eyes.

He reached out and pinched her chin, making him look directly at him: "Don't try to lie to me! Tell me the truth, I will forgive you today! Otherwise..." He glanced down and tore open her skirt.

"Ah—" she yelled, pushed him away, and fell to the ground.

He looked down at her and approached her step by step.Her clothes were torn, and she couldn't help stretching out her hand to cover her chest, but she could only block an inch of spring.He looked at her terrified and helpless appearance that was trying to hide, and a scorching heat rose in his lower abdomen.

He knelt down and pulled her up: "Ji Liangruo! Did the paper come from outside or did you write it yourself?"

"I, I wrote it myself..."

"Why do you have to burn what you wrote? You don't want to contact the outside world!"

Ji Liangruo shook his head and cried: "I accidentally wrote two sentences about the art of war when I was in a daze...I...I don't want to hand it over..."

He breathed a sigh of relief, pulled her to the table, and pressed her on the stool: "I don't want you to write more! Just write twenty characters! Don't try to fool me by writing randomly! If you write, I will leave immediately, and I will never touch you today!"

She nodded hurriedly, grabbed the pen, dipped in the ink vigorously and began to write.The ink was all shaking into a ball, and the words were almost unclear.She wrote the first two sentences quickly, as if she had just written them, then she slowed down, writing while thinking, and even corrected twice.Counting to twenty words was just right, and she stopped regardless of whether the sentence should be broken or not.

"It's not over!" he said.

"You only say and write twenty characters."

"You..." He glared at her and grabbed the paper, "Accept the reality well, just because you can use the art of war against me today doesn't mean you can do it tomorrow! When I get impatient with waiting, I don't mind using force on you." !"

He turned and left, and she sat there for a moment, lying on the table and weeping uncontrollably.

Qin Yunguang walked to the front hall, suddenly remembered something, and asked the maid: "Mrs. Zhou came twice today, what's the difference?"

The maids thought for a while, and one of them said: "I overturned the rouge box this afternoon...it's not what the empress said."

"Oh?" He narrowed his eyes, "Tell me in detail."

The lady-in-waiting described the situation at that time in detail.

He said: "Rouge...huh!" He called his confidant eunuch, "Aren't you going to Yizhan Pavilion to get the rouge for the empress tomorrow? Pick some smarter people to go! This Zhan family dares to make trouble under my nose." , see how I deal with them!"

The next day, the eunuch went to the Yizhan Pavilion and learned that someone died in front of the Yizhan Pavilion, so he came back and told Qin Yunguang: "And also said that Mrs. Zhou personally hugged the man's body!"

When Qin Yunguang heard it, he dropped the booklet he was reviewing: "What a bold face! You dared to enter the palace after hugging the dead just now!"

"Your Majesty—" Another eunuch came in from outside the door, "I will report to the Emperor, Mr. Zhou Yuanzheng is handing over the booklet! It's a rush!"

He stretched out his hand to take it: "Can something important happen at the emperor's feet, why don't you hurry up?" Zhou Yuan is the empress dowager's cousin, one of his uncles, who is in charge of the people's livelihood in the imperial capital.

In the end, what was mentioned in the brochure was the murder of Qin Yunluo in front of the Yizhan Pavilion yesterday.

He frowned after reading it, and the veins in the hand holding the booklet were exposed.

Another eunuch shouted and ran in, and he slammed his hand: "Is the harem on fire?"

Everyone knelt on the ground in fright, and the eunuch who had just entered said tremblingly, "Yes... it's the Queen Mother's place..."

"What's wrong with the Empress Dowager?" He asked anxiously, and got up immediately, "Pull out to Longfu Palace."

The eunuch hurriedly followed, and said as he walked: "I heard that the fourth princess murdered someone, and someone reported it to the government. Now the people in the entire imperial capital have to confess, saying that the prince broke the law and should be the same crime as the common people! They also said that the fourth princess killed someone. She is the cousin of the fourth concubine, the fourth princess has done many evil deeds, and she has harmed others before... Now the fourth concubine has also broken with the fourth princess. Can……"

"What kind of mess is this?" Qin Yunguang shouted angrily, "Who has entered the palace?"

"Mrs. Li Fumei is over there. Master Zhou, the fourth princess, and the fourth son-in-law have also been announced into the palace."

"Invite the brothers and sisters of the Zhan family in!" he said.

After getting on the chariot, everyone carried him to Longfu Palace, passing by Youxian Lake, he looked in the direction of Lanyue Palace, and called out, "Concubine Liang, please go over."

The eunuch went to Yizhan Pavilion, but Zhan Rong was not there, so he passed the news to Zhan Jun first, and then went to Zhou's house to look for Zhan Rong.

Zhan Rong was embroidering things in the house. He guessed that what happened yesterday was reported to him. Before he went out to receive the decree, he explained to the dowry maid: "You don't need to take anyone with you for this kind of thing. I will go by myself. You can go through the back door after I leave." Go out and go to Yizhan Pavilion to get several kinds of dark embroidery threads, don’t miss the gold and indigo ones! Remember that I entered the palace after you left, you don’t know what happened! And—” She pointed to the purse she was embroidering just now, "I embroidered this for the general."

The servant girl nodded, and went out quietly as soon as she left.When the servants in the mansion saw her being taken away, someone also went to inform Zhou Xijun.When the maid came back with the embroidery thread, Zhou Xijun had already arrived home, staring at the half-embroidered things on the table in a daze.

"General."

Zhou Xijun turned around and said, "Young madam has entered the palace?"

The servant girl blinked her eyes and showed doubts on her face: "The slave girl was still there when she went out! Over there, I heard that Mr. Zhan's family has entered the palace. Why did the young lady also enter the palace?"

Zhou Xijun looked at the embroidery thread in her hand: "What are you doing out alone? Why don't you follow Miss?"

"Miss asked me to get the thread!" The servant girl hurriedly explained.

Hearing this, he picked up the half-embroidered purse, and snorted: "When did she have the time to do these things?"

"That's... that's what the lady embroidered for the general."

Zhou Xijun's hands froze, he grabbed his purse tightly, and pretended to ask calmly, "What will embroidery do for me?"

"The servant doesn't know either. The young lady said in the morning that she would do this often in the future. Halfway through the embroidery, she found that the thread was not enough color, so she asked the servant to get it."

"Understood." Zhou Xijun put down his purse, turned and went out, "I'm going into the palace."

When Zhan Rong arrived at Longfu Palace, Zhan Jun who arrived before her had already recounted the situation that day.Qin Yunguang and the Queen Mother sat on it, Li Fumei and Ji Liangruo sat on the side, Zhou Yuanzheng, the official in charge of the matter, stood; Qin Yunluo, Ding Yuan and Zhan Jun all knelt below.

As soon as Zhan Rong entered, Qin Yunguang yelled, "Zhan Rong, you are so courageous! Yesterday you hugged a dead man, and you dared to enter the palace!"

"Your majesty, please listen to the woman's petition!" Zhan Rong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed a few times, "The woman is in every possible way! If I report the truth, I am afraid that the emperor will say that the woman deliberately shirks, and even a small family will be embarrassed." On the other hand, this kind of death of a small commoner is taken care of by officials. When women talk about it in front of the emperor, they are a bit fussy on the one hand, and on purpose to add to the emperor. unlucky……"
