Chapter 234 Being Debunked in Public

Standing at the gate of the cold palace, the emperor was suddenly in a daze. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He woke up this morning and remembered that the fragrance of flowers he smelt last night was the unique smell of Concubine Lou, and he came here without knowing it.

In the early years, he and Concubine Lou also had a loving life, just like an ordinary couple, but it changed at some point.

"crunch..."

Pushing open the heavy wooden door, the emperor ordered the palace attendants to stay and walked into the cold palace alone.

The emperor walked all the way through the desolate courtyard, and finally saw the person he wanted to see in a small courtyard. At this time, Concubine Lou was leaning on a chair in the corridor. Although her eyes were clear, she couldn't see anything.

"Who is here?"

Lou Guifei heard the movement behind her, straightened up and turned her head, but she didn't hear the answer, she said again: "Although I can't see, my ears are very sensitive."

Hearing this, the emperor had no choice but to continue to step forward, "Your Majesty, forgive me, the slave just passed by by chance, and did not intend to disturb your empress."

Concubine Lou felt that his voice was a little familiar, but this is the Leng Palace, so she didn't think much about it, she smiled and shook her head: "It's not in the way, you can go to work first."

"The servant just came to the cold palace and has nothing to do, so can you stay here for a while?"

Listening to his timid words, Concubine Lou Gui mistakenly thought that he was beaten by others, so she comforted softly: "Don't be sad, you will inevitably be bullied when you first come here, after you stay for a long time, no one will bully you anymore .”

"It just so happens that I have ointment here, you wait here, and I'll get it for you."

Seeing her get up and fumble forward, the emperor couldn't help but stretch out his hand to help, but Concubine Lou flinched back in panic.

After regaining his senses, the emperor quickly explained: "Don't be afraid, my...slave just wants to help you because I see that your mother is inconvenient to walk."

"I haven't seen it for many years, I'm used to it, thank you."

After Concubine Lou thanked her, she carefully walked back to the room avoiding the emperor, and came out with a bottle of ointment in her hand.

"Although this ointment is not made of expensive medicinal materials, it has a good curative effect. You should keep it away."

Looking at the ointment she handed over, the emperor felt mixed emotions. It has been so long, but her kindness to people still hasn't changed.

At this time, a scent of wine wafted in the wind, and the emperor subconsciously sniffed, "It smells so good."

"Your nose is really good."

Concubine Lou bowed her head and smiled slightly, then walked to the place where she rested just now, "I brewed flower wine a few days ago, and I'm about to taste it, just right, if you're not in a hurry to go back, maybe you can give me some advice."

Wine made from flowers?

The emperor became interested for a while, forgetting that he was playing the role of a little eunuch at this time, and nodded happily: "Okay."

Fortunately, Concubine Lou Gui was always kind and kind, so she didn't think too deeply, took out a cup and poured him a cup.

After drinking a glass of wine, the emperor felt as if his whole body came alive, and the pressure accumulated for a long time was released at this moment.

"how is the taste?"

Concubine Lou Gui had a smile on her face, her eyes could not see, but the emperor could still see that she was looking forward to it.

"tastes good."

Concubine Lou Gui was very happy to get the affirmation from the other party, and immediately poured him another glass.

The two were alone for a while, and in order to avoid suspicion from Concubine Lou, the emperor had no choice but to get up and bid farewell.

Because he drank the flower wine brewed by Concubine Lou Gui in the cold palace, the emperor felt very comfortable after returning, and even had the motivation to review the memorials.

In the next few days, the fragrance of flowers came every day, and the emperor also went to the Leng Palace for several days in a row, but he still did not reveal his identity, and met Lou Guifei in the name of the former little eunuch.

"What did you say? The emperor is not in the imperial study?"

"Go back to your mother, the servants delivered the things according to your instructions, but they were still stopped outside the door."

Hearing Hongyu's words, the queen's face turned ugly for a moment. In the past few days, she occasionally saw the emperor, and found that the emperor was always in a trance, and she laughed suddenly from time to time.

She had seen the emperor in this state before, when Concubine Lou was still in the harem, every time the emperor came back from her bedroom, the emperor always looked like this.

Could it be...

"Hongyu, go and bring the guards of the cold palace, so that no one will find out."

After a while, the chief eunuch of the Leng Palace was brought in front of the empress, who saluted tremblingly: "This servant kowtows to the empress."

"I ask you, has the emperor been to the cold palace in the past few days?"

The eunuch's expression was slightly stagnant, and he bowed his head to the queen again, "Go back to your mother, the emperor has indeed been to the cold palace."

Hearing this, the queen clenched her hands unconsciously, "Do you know what the emperor is doing in the cold palace?"

"Every time the emperor goes, the servants will be dismissed, so the servants don't know..."

"I'll talk back after I think about it! I'm the queen, you should know the consequences of lying to me."

"Your Majesty calm down, the servants dare not lie to your Majesty, but the Emperor does not allow the servants to follow, but... but the servants have heard the Emperor talking to Concubine Lou."

Well, it really is that bitch!
A burst of anger arose in the queen's heart. She should have thought a long time ago that that bitch could not stay in the cold palace so honestly. After more than a year, there was finally something happening.

"Back off, if you let people know what happened today, you know the consequences."

"Yes, the slave understands."

The next day—

The emperor was a little annoyed when he was reviewing the memorial, and he couldn't help but think of Concubine Lou again. He had been there for several days in a row, and he didn't care about the extra day.

So, he came to the Leng Palace again and found an excuse to meet Concubine Lou Gui.

When the two were chatting happily, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and the emperor felt puzzled in his heart. He had already ordered no one to approach, why...

"emperor!"

A clear voice came, and the queen walked towards the two with a solemn expression. The emperor's face changed suddenly when he saw her.

Concubine Lou Gui also recognized the voice of the person coming, stood up and bowed to her: "I have seen the empress."

The queen walked straight up to her, looked at her glamorous face, and gritted her teeth in anger. If the emperor hadn't been present, she would have slapped her.

"The concubine heard that the emperor has been running to the cold palace these days. At first, she didn't believe it, but she didn't expect it to be true."

Having his identity exposed in front of Concubine Lou, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and asked with a gloomy face, "Why, according to the Queen's wishes, can't I come?"

"The emperor is the king of a country, and the whole palace belongs to you, but this cold palace is where the concubines who made mistakes live. According to the law, the emperor can't come here."

"Queen, you are overstepping."

"The emperor appeases his anger. What the concubines say is for the emperor's sake. If outsiders know that the emperor disregards etiquette, I'm afraid it will affect the emperor's reputation."

Speaking of this, the queen suddenly turned her head to look at the person next to her, "Concubine Lou, do you think what I said makes sense?"
