Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 414 The Emperor Arrives
"Young Madam, I'm offended." Zhao Yu's tone was very light. He tapped on the wooden board beside Jing Ning lightly, and she fell straight off the bed. The quilt was pulled up.

With a "bang", Jing Ning landed on a pile of grass. Although the fall was not heavy, the dizziness at that moment still made her frown.

The soft halo of the Ye Mingzhu illuminated the surrounding environment. Jing Ning raised his eyes to look, and couldn't help showing a bit of surprise in his eyes.The space she was in was not large, but it was very delicate. It looked like a woman's boudoir, and the walls on all sides were covered with portraits of the same woman.

Jing Ning stood up with great effort, staggered to a portrait, and carefully looked at the woman in the painting.The woman was dressed in white, her hair fell down to her waist like a waterfall, and she had a casual and elegant temperament. In the next second, it will walk out of the painting.

Jing Ning couldn't stop admiring in her heart, she looked at the inscription on the side.

"The beautiful mountains and rivers are so beautiful, not as good as your watery eyes. Yuzuo is in Yanbo Pavilion".

Jing Ning's eyes turned to another painting, the woman in the painting has not changed, a bright red wedding dress makes her skin whiter than snow, but there is no half smile in her eyes, on the contrary, there is a look of sadness and determination.

"When we first met, I was wearing red makeup. I wished to stay with Qing forever, and my affection would never fail. On the [-]th day of the twentieth month of the Jihai Year, Yu Zuo was in the study."

Jing Ning suddenly realized that the woman in this painting should be Zhao Yu's concubine who died of illness, Li Sisi.Just when Jing Ning was about to look at other paintings, a deep and majestic voice sounded.

"What are you doing here?" It turned out to be the emperor's voice.Jing Ning could tell that the emperor was probably murderous, and his tone was so cold that it was unreasonable.

"I didn't know the father was here. The child was taking a nap, so the clothes are disheveled. I hope the father will forgive me." Zhao Yu's tone was very calm, as if he didn't care about the emperor at all.

Jing Ning was puzzled, why did the emperor come to Zhao Yu's mansion at this time?And still so angry?Could it be that Zhao Yu's private rebellion was discovered?Jing Ning guessed maliciously in her heart.

"Here, you're the only one in the room?" The emperor was silent for a while, and the voice sounded again, but the previous anger was gone, and he was a little more surprised instead.

"My son has been unwell for the past few days, so I haven't summoned my concubine."

Jing Ning could imagine the fake smile on the corner of Zhao Yu's mouth when he said this, and she couldn't help but despise Zhao Yu in her heart. His love affair with singing every night has spread throughout the whole city, and he still feels unwell?Does the emperor really know nothing?

"This is impossible! I clearly saw him tie the young lady into the mansion!" Zhao Duo's unbelievable voice sounded.

Jing Ning narrowed his eyes, his eyes were full of fierce light, it really was him!She gritted her teeth slightly, thinking about how to make Zhao Duo feel the feeling of being stunned by someone after going out.

"Oh? It seems that I can't hide my every move in this palace from the sixth brother. I don't know when the sixth brother cares so much about being a brother?" Zhao Yu's tone revealed a bit of sarcasm.

"Brother Huang, what is the meaning of this? Naturally, I dare not monitor Brother Huang." Zhao Duopi stared at Zhao Yu with a non-smiling smile, his eyes were scarlet, obviously he hated Zhao Yu very much.

"That is to say, the sixth brother has long known that the young lady will appear in my room at this time today? Sixth brother is a good way." Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Duo with some meaning, and there was no deep meaning in his words, just a few words. Tell the emperor directly that Zhao Duo framed him.

There was an eerie silence outside.Jing Ning imagined Zhao Duohei's face unable to refute, and almost laughed out loud.

"Father, I..."

"Bullshit!"

Before Zhao Duo could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor's angry shout, and then there was a sound of footsteps. Presumably, the emperor lost face in front of Zhao Yu and left to avoid embarrassment.

Jing Ning also breathed a sigh of relief after the sound of footsteps went away. Although nothing happened between her and Zhao Yu, it would be extremely indecent if people saw her wearing a gauze skirt at this time. She didn't want to attract those annoying people. gossip.

Just when she was about to ask Zhao Yu to let her go out, Zhao Duo's deep voice sounded.

"Brother Huang is amazing, this time I am willing to bow down." Zhao Duo's tone was serious, and Jing Ning could hear the evil spirit in his words.

"Sixth brother, don't do such stupid things in the future. Not only is it bad for you and me, but one of them is bad, I'm afraid it will shake the foundation of our country." Zhao Yu's tone was calm, but there was also a hint of warning hidden.

"Shake the foundation of our country? I'm afraid it's not the emperor's turn to worry about such a thing? But the emperor was able to resist touching her, which surprised me. Why, is it because of the short-lived princess? Cough... ...you're crazy!"

Zhao Duo's complacent laughter suddenly stuck in his throat, he coughed heavily, and then roared angrily.

"You don't deserve to mention her. If you let me hear it again, don't blame me for being rude!" Zhao Yu's usual gentle tone was bitingly cold at the moment, and the anger and killing intent in it made Jing Ning shiver uncontrollably.

"You wait for me!" Zhao Duosei said sternly and left the room in a hurry.

Jing Ning originally wanted to take a closer look at the pictures of beauties on the wall, but suddenly felt a bright light in front of him, a pair of arms around his waist, and he fell back on the bed within a breath.

She couldn't adapt to the sudden bright light, and narrowed her eyes slightly to look at Zhao Yu in front of her.At this time, Zhao Yu's face was calm, and his eyes were very clear. Obviously, the anger just now had been suppressed by him.

"What's wrong with Zhao Duo? He framed you like this?"

Thinking of the scene just now, Jing Ning couldn't help feeling a little scared, and at the same time felt a little pity for Zhao Yu.Zhao Yu smiled lightly when he heard the words: "It's just a fight for power and profit."

Jing Ning remained silent, it was true, the fight between the two was nothing more than the throne, no one could refuse the temptation of power.She suddenly remembered the picture of beauties she saw just now, and seeing that Zhao Yu's face was still good, she asked, "There is a hidden world under this bed. Did you draw the picture of beauties on the wall?"

Zhao Yu's face froze when he heard the words, and a few flashes of pain and despair flashed in his eyes. Although it was fleeting, Jing Ning couldn't help feeling sore from the great sadness, and she somewhat regretted asking this hastily.

"Otherwise, could it be Zhao Duohua's fault?" Zhao Yu quickly adjusted his expression, and even thought of joking with Jingning.Jing Ning couldn't laugh, she remembered that Zhao Duo had mentioned Li Sisi just now, but according to Lan Yao, that woman passed away because Zhao Yu was too absurd and worried. Could there be something hidden in it?
"How does Zhao Duo seem to be involved with the woman in the painting?" Jing Ning asked tentatively.
