Chapter 597 Two Women
"Concubine Xian, I didn't..." Before the queen's words fell, the familiar voice sounded behind her, "As a queen, you are so... As a queen, you should lead by example. I am so disappointed!"

"Your Majesty, it's not my sister's fault, it's my concubine who accidentally sprained her foot. Don't blame my sister by mistake." Ye Bizhu put on a false face.

"Your Majesty, I didn't..." As soon as the queen said it, she knew that no matter how much she tried to defend herself, it would be useless, so she simply didn't speak any more.

Yun Shaoyang picked up Ye Bizhu, who was pear-blossoming and rainy, turned and left, never looking at her again from the beginning to the end.The queen raised her head slowly, her eyes filled with tears, her face full of despair and sadness.

"Your Majesty, let's go back! It's cold on the ground." Xiao Rong's eyes turned red from crying.

"Xiao Rong, do you think this palace is useless, don't you? Isn't it?" Later, he almost became hysterical.

Yun Shaoyang carried Ye Bizhu back to Jinghe Palace, and after the imperial physician confirmed that he was fine, Yun Shaoyang was relieved.When he left, he suddenly felt very irritable, so he kept walking along the path of the imperial garden, not letting anyone follow.

After Eunuch Lu reported the matter between the Empress and Concubine Xian in Changchun Palace, Empress Dowager Xiao said to the maid standing aside: "According to the plan."

This maid was none other than the Maiko, she nodded and said: "Yes, Queen Mother." She was still wearing a veil, and her eyes looked brighter in the dark night.

It was March, and the peach blossoms in the imperial garden were in full bloom.Unknowingly, Yun Shaoyang had already walked under the dense peach trees, and a faint singing sound came from not far away.He heard the sound and left, and a lady like a court lady was picking peach blossoms in a bamboo basket.The singing is sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, and the woman can be seen singing softly and dancing lightly.Yun Shaoyang watched quietly like this, for fear of ruining this beauty, because he hadn't relaxed like this for a long time.

When the woman turned around quietly, he had an urge to run away.However, for an instant, he seemed to be frozen.those eyes!So captivating.The clarity in his eyes was something he hadn't seen for so many years, and he forgot how to speak for a moment.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's atonement! Slave, I don't know that the Emperor is here, please forgive me..." The maiko knocked over the bamboo basket at her feet in panic, and the petals scattered all over the ground.

Seeing the panic in her eyes, Yun Shaoyang felt a little annoyed at himself, he didn't know that he would care so much about a maiko whom he had never met before.

"Get up, those who don't know are innocent. Why are you here?" Yun Shaoyang looked straight at her.

"Because it's the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom, I remember that I like to collect peach blossoms in my hometown. After the petals are dried, they can be made into sachets, which can be worn for a long time. They can also be used for bathing, and fresh petals can also be used to make peach blossom cakes. "The maiko replied, her eyes were no longer as panicked as before.

"Sachet? Bath? Peach blossom cake? I expected that your hometown must be beautiful. It's a pity that you lost it, but it's a great life if you pick it." Yun Shaoyang suddenly felt sad.

"Your Majesty is wrong. Hasn't Your Majesty heard of, 'Isn't Luohong a ruthless thing that turns into spring mud to protect flowers'? Any living thing has its value." Maiko raised her head cautiously after speaking , for fear of Yun Shaoyang's blame.

"It's a good sentence 'Luohong is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers'" He looked at the little person in front of him and suddenly felt sad, even a maiko could realize the truth.As a king, how could he not understand, it's just that there are too many involuntary things!
She lowered her head and said nothing, and he asked, "What's your name?"

"The humble name of the servant has polluted the ears of the emperor, so it's worth not mentioning it." She was cautious, fiddling with the corners of her clothes with both hands.

"Would you like to talk to me for a while?" Yun Shaoyang didn't know why he had these feelings of intimacy for no reason.

"Slaves are terrified!" The maiko knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Get up!" Yun Shaoyang pulled her up without a trace of unnaturalness.

"Tell me, am I cowardly, incompetent, and senseless?" Yun Shaoyang looked into her clean eyes, expecting her answer.

"Yes! But it's not!" Yun Shaoyang's heart fell to the bottom for a moment.When she said no, he suddenly felt that the world was not so cold.

He looked at her and beckoned her to continue, and she said, "Everyone has too much involuntary control, because only by living can there be hope."

Yun Shaoyang stared at her blankly, and after a long time he said: "I finally understand why I always have a feeling of deja vu when I see you, because you are like a friend of mine."

"Then where is she?" Her eyes were still bright.

"She's gone, maybe she doesn't know that I miss her very much." Yun Shaoyang said and looked up at the sky.

"I'm sorry, slaves shouldn't say these things."

"It's nothing. Why do you always wear a veil, can you take it off for me to see?" Yun Shaoyang smiled at her.

When Yun Shaoyang returned to Yunxiao Palace, the maids and eunuchs panicked, and they were relieved when they saw him come back.He slept very peacefully that night.He dreamed of Ye Qingchi again, that clean woman, so stubborn and proud, so kind and beautiful.In the dream, he saw her face clearly, and she said to him with curved eyebrows, "Yun Shaoyang, Qingchi misses you very much too, so you have to take care of yourself." dream about her.When he woke up, he found it was a dream, and Yun Shaoyang was melancholy for a long time.

Maybe it was because of Ye Qingchi, or maybe it was because of what the maiko said, Yun Shaoyang unexpectedly went to the morning court uncharacteristically.Empress Dowager Xiao still hangs the curtain, but he is just a decoration.

It looks calm on the surface, but perhaps the heart is already turbulent.

The northern part of Chiyue Kingdom was plagued by drought, and a large number of refugees had fled to the outside of the imperial capital. In addition to the large number of refugees, a plague had already occurred.If it is not controlled, it may endanger the people of the imperial capital.

When Liu Guoliang reported the incident to the Empress Dowager Xiao, she said to the ministers uncharacteristically: "Ai Ai's family thinks that the affairs of the people in the imperial capital are of great importance, and should be handled by the emperor. As the king of a country, he should be responsible for the people. Do something, ministers, is what Aijia said makes sense?"

All the ministers shouted, "The empress dowager is wise, long live my emperor."

"I, I thought... you ministers have good opinions, you might as well speak up and listen to them!" Yun Shaoyang was also stunned by this sudden change.

"I believe that the imperial court should broadcast disaster relief food. Then isolate the plagued people and find the source of the plague to solve the urgent need!" It was the general Ma Ge who was guarding the imperial capital who spoke.
