Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 67 The reason

After the banquet, the Queen returned to Yiyun Pavilion, and retreated everyone except He Shanggong, and asked, "What do you think of that Lin Yuhan?"

"It's pretty pretty!" He Shanggong replied, "But, having said that, there are so many pretty girls in this world, why does your empress care so much about that Lin Yuhan?"

"Don't you play charades with me here? You won't be able to see what's going on?" The queen said, leaning on the imperial concubine's couch.

He Shanggong said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty, the servants are stupid, they don't understand what you mean! Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty!"

The queen snorted, and said: "That Zhuang Xinyi is too courageous. In public, she actually helped that Lin Yuhan?"

He Shanggong said with a smile: "My lady, according to my slaves' opinion, the matter is most likely the emperor's intention! Tell me, if it wasn't for the emperor's order, how would Zhuang Xinyi have the guts? Could it be that her brain is broken?" The queen nodded, and He Shanggong said again: "So, this servant still thinks that Lin Yuhan is the emperor's favorite, and Zhuang Xinyi was ordered to go to the court. Look, didn't the emperor take the initiative to keep Lin Yuhan in the end? She Zhuang Xinyi How can you have that face?"

As He Shanggong said, he brought scented tea to the queen.

The queen sighed: "Perhaps, that Zhuang Xinyi is not worth worrying about this palace! It's just a maid, how long can she be so arrogant after being favored for a while?"

"Exactly!" He Shanggong said, "It's just that Lin Yuhan has to pay attention!"

At this moment, Xiao Shunzi delivered a decree, saying that the queen should arrange Lin Yuhan as the first bed servant among the newly promoted talents.

After Xiao Shunzi left, the queen sneered and said, "Look, the emperor values ​​Lin Yuhan so much, how can I not pay special attention to her?" Then she said: "Go, call Zheng Siyi over, I want her Take good care of this Lin Yuhan!"

He Shanggong accepted the order to withdraw with a smile.

It was the same with Concubine Zhen, except that Concubine Zhen only listened to the gossip of the palace people, but she didn't express any opinions herself. She had to figure out Zhuang Xinyi's weight in the emperor's heart.

Last time the matter of Yuyan Gao, although it ended with the execution of the servants around the empress, it made the empress even more resentful towards Concubine Zhen; but, as shrewd as Concubine Zhen, she would never let that matter end simply. When it came to Zhuang Xinyi, she was not as innocent as she saw in her eyes. On the contrary, she felt that Zhuang Xinyi was a very scheming person.What's more, the fact that the emperor was able to summon the queen and her for that kind of thing at night is enough to show that Zhuang Xinyi is also an important person around the emperor.Otherwise, would he be so mobilizing to find her and the queen?
In addition to today's incident, um, there must be something strange in it!

After Concubine Zhen thought about it, someone from the palace came to report that the emperor ordered Lin Yuhan to be the first servant.

"The emperor really fell in love with that girl!" Zhen Guifei sighed, and then said to Chen Shanggong, "Go, pick up a few pieces of my palace's jewelry and give it to Lin Yuhan! Such a cute person, this palace If you ignore it, wouldn't it be too heartless?" She said with a cold smile.

Just as Ming Xuanyu said and expected, his last round of court rescued Xinyi from the flames for the time being.

But Xinyi didn't know that the emperor's choice of concubine had also aroused huge repercussions in the court.

Anyone who took a look at it would know the purpose of this concubine selection. The selected women are all the daughters of important officials in the court.Moreover, they are basically ministers who have close contacts with the prime minister.It couldn't be more obvious what the emperor meant by this move, and it also put those officials in a dilemma.The prime minister or the emperor, they can't afford to offend them, but what should they do?

On the night after the canonization edict was issued, when those families didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow, King Yu sent someone to invite the six officials to his mansion, saying that they were going to listen to an opera.

As for what kind of play they were listening to, people outside could not know at all.

The assassination of the emperor last time was finally determined to be a robber, but Yang Yichen was still severely taught by his father.A spy told Yang Yichen that judging from the situation at the time of the assassination, the emperor seemed to have been prepared.Then, there is a question, who leaked this matter to the emperor?

Princess Antai, Yang Yichen thought that there would be no one else but her.Because she took the initiative to inform her father, she must also tell the emperor about it.

On the day after the emperor returned safely, Yang Yichen made a decision to order his subordinates to keep a close eye on Princess Antai, and began to investigate everyone who knew about the matter, looking for the informer.

Ming Xuanyu also learned that Princess Antai was in deep trouble, and asked Zhang De and Fang Xin to order people to stop all private contacts with Princess Antai.

He encountered an unprecedented crisis!

In the past few days, Xinyi has also noticed some uneasiness in him. She doesn't know why, but she dare not ask.I saw that he summoned Fang Xin, Wei Yusheng, and Ye Yixuan more frequently than in the past. As for what to talk about, no one except Zhang De knew.

Xinyi carefully recorded the information every day and handed it over to Hu Sheng.She didn't know what happened to Princess Antai, and she didn't care.The only thing she wants to know now is, when can she meet her brother?Although every day he was bearing the condemnation of his conscience to record Ming Xuanyu's words and deeds, the joy and longing of meeting his younger brother would always shatter all the anxiety.

On March [-]th, the dormitory bureau arranged for talented Lin Yuhan to attend the dormitory.She was very nervous and came to find Xinyi several times, but Xinyi couldn't do anything except comfort her.

Seeing Lin Yuhan's expression of excitement and helplessness, Xinyi actually envied her a little.If, if, alas, there are so many ifs in this world!
That night, just after Haishi, Lin Yuhan's sedan chair was carried to the outside of Jinghua Hall.

However, in the dormitory, Ming Xuanyu was still sitting on the bed reading a book, and Xinyi was standing beside the bed.She knew that Lin Yuhan was coming, and Zhang De kept telling her to back off with winks, but just as she was about to salute and leave, she heard Ming Xuanyu's cold voice: "I didn't ask you to go!" standing.

"Your Majesty, this Lin Cairen is seeking an audience—" Zhang De knew that he couldn't delay any longer, and when he saw that the Emperor would not let Xinyi leave, he took the initiative to remind her.

"Then," Ming Xuanyu glanced at Xinyi, "let Lin Cairen come in!"

Xinyi didn't know what to do, she rubbed the corner of her clothes uneasily.

Zhang De withdrew from the dormitory to announce the decree, and only Ming Xuanyu and Xinyi were left in the room. He handed her the book, and she hurried forward to pick it up, but he didn't let go of his hand, and she looked up at him in puzzlement. with him.

"Tonight, you are guarding outside, you are not allowed to go back!" He said coldly.

Her face turned red, that was the last thing she wanted to do.

She loves him in her heart, but she wants to listen to him making love with other women as if nothing had happened, and, moreover, his voice is what she is most attached to and obsessed with.

"This, Your Majesty, this, tonight should be Tong Shi—" She finally thought of a reason, but he saw it through.

"I, as long as you!" His eyes did not allow her any room for hesitation.

She had no choice but to nod blankly in agreement, and he let go of his hand.

At this moment, Zhang De led Lin Yuhan into the bedroom, Xinyi quickly put the book on the desk, and retreated from the side. Before reaching the door, she heard Ming Xuanyu's voice, "Aifei is really comparable God!"Hearing him praise Lin Yuhan so much, Xinyi only felt her heart tighten and panic, because she was afraid that she would cry out, so she quickly backed out.

She didn't know what was going on inside, but after less than a cup of tea, all the palace people withdrew.

Zhang De saw that she was wandering too far away, so he gave a fake cough and said, "The emperor has ordered you to serve here!" Xinyi hurriedly accepted the order, and Zhang De explained a few words to the female officer Tongshi, and then withdrew Went to Jinghua Palace.

Xinyi moved two round stools for herself and the female officer to sit on, and the two of them sat silently outside the bedroom door.

The door was not completely closed, leaving a gap, allowing a person to walk in sideways without bumping into the door.

Xinyi really heard the voices inside, heard Lin Yuhan's exclamation and groans, but nothing else.

She didn't want to listen to it anymore, and didn't want to imagine what he was like on other women. Letting her sit here was more painful than killing her.

It didn't take long, and she seemed to hear him yell, and the female officer beckoned her to go in, and Xinyi walked cautiously to the bed.

She didn't dare to raise her head, didn't dare to look at the figure covered by the bed curtain, her eyes were only on her own feet.

"Water—" His voice came out, and Xinyi hurriedly poured him a glass of clear water, held it in her hand and blew gently, hoping that the water would cool down as soon as possible.

"Slowly!" From his voice, he seemed very unhappy, and Xinyi couldn't help being surprised.

Could it be that something happened to Lin Yuhan?Xinyi was thinking, still holding the water in her hands and blowing hot air.

"The water is a bit hot!" She replied, and he just groaned, as if lying down.

Then, she heard Lin Yuhan's happy voice and heard him kissing her.

Xinyi's hands trembled, tears swirled in her eyes, and she fell into the teacup unconsciously.

"Water, is it cold?" He asked.

Xinyi hurriedly wiped away her tears, saying that it was cold, so he stretched out his hand from the tent and took it in.

Why is the water a little salty?As soon as he took a sip, he glanced out and saw her hazy voice, and his lips moved slightly.

He took the empty glass with both hands, and heard him say: "Call Zhang De to come in!"

Xinyi quickly backed out and met Zhang De outside the hall.

Not long after, I saw Lin Yuhan coming out of the dormitory, and smiled at Xinyi, so Xinyi had no choice but to laugh along with her.

When the group left the Jinghua Palace, Zhang De whispered in Xinyi's ear, "Go in!" After saying that, Zhang De closed the gate of the Jinghua Palace and went out.

Xinyi stood there numbly, turned around and looked at the light coming from the dormitory, and walked towards the door with heavy steps.But the closer she was to the door, the faster her heart beat and the more chaotic her steps became.

The heavy red door closed behind her, and she almost ran to him.

The curtain has been hung up again, he is leaning on the high pillow and looking at her, the brocade quilt only covers his waist.

Panting for breath, she walked towards him step by step, with only him in her eyes.

He just showed a helpless smile and asked, "You guy, you've been getting worse and worse recently, why do you put salt in the water?"

Her tears flowed out again uncontrollably, and the more she wiped them off, the more she couldn't stop them.

When she walked to the bed, he sat up and pulled her into his arms, gently kissing her tears away.

She looked at him with tears in her eyes, he didn't show any expression, just reached out and unbuttoned her clothes.

"Why do you love to cry so much?" He asked suddenly when she was snuggled up beside him.

At this time, although she no longer shed tears, she still felt cold in her heart, and looked up at him with a child-like smile.

"This is a lesson for you! I told you to meddle in your own business in the future, and tell you to make trouble for me in the future!" He grabbed her hand and patted it hard.

She let out a cry of pain and glared at him angrily.

"It's really lawless!" He also stared at her, "You try to stare again!"

She withdrew her gaze and lay down.

He was not angry, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, lying beside her, with his right hand naturally placed on her chest.The body clings to her.

"Do you like Lin Cairen?" She asked in a low voice.

"Speak up!" He only said these two words, closed his eyes, and moved closer to her.

She pouted and was silent for a while.
