The emperor was still looking at the imperial concubine's expression, but he clearly saw that her face had changed. He sneered in his heart. It seemed that he should get to know his imperial concubine better.
The imperial concubine's expression changed for only a moment, and then she spoke directly: "No, there was a moth just now! It flew onto the candle flame, but it was not burned to death."
When Lianzi heard this, he also spoke up: "That's because your Majesty is kind and asked me to take the moth down and release it."
After they finished talking, they looked at each other tacitly. In fact, they were very nervous because they were not sure whether the emperor believed it or not. In the end, the emperor smiled.
He reached out and touched the concubine's ear: "My concubine is still so kind."
When she spoke, her eyes were a little dazed, as if she saw the girl who had her hands on her hips and looked ferocious, yelling at others: "He is not a fool, you are not allowed to bully him."
The imperial concubine felt that the emperor kept touching her ears but did not speak. She looked at him puzzledly: "Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"
The emperor smiled and said, "I was thinking about our childhood. You put your hands on your hips to defend me, saying that I was not a fool. I was cute at that time."
A flash of embarrassment passed through the imperial concubine's face. She was a lady, how could she possibly do such a thing? Only an idiot like Lin Chuwu would do that, right
But at this time, the imperial concubine naturally would not deny it, and looked at the emperor with a smile: "Does your emperor like me just because of our childhood?"
"Because I protected the emperor when I was a child?"
While talking, the imperial concubine felt very melancholy in her heart. She didn't know what answer she wanted to hear, after all, she had been with the emperor for such a long time.
The imperial concubine is truly in love with the emperor, so she definitely cannot accept it. The emperor is special to her only because she protected him when they were young.
What's more, when she was a child, she was the one who bullied the emperor. The emperor smiled and said, "Silly, what's the difference between you when you were a child and you now."
"Now you are even better at complaining. I still remember when you were a kid, you went home and were punished by your father for defending me. That was the first time I saw you cry!"
The imperial concubine was stunned when she heard this. Lin Chuwu would cry? How could it be possible? In her memory, Lin Chuwu had always been very strong, but she had never seen Lin Chuwu cry.
I didn't expect that she would cry behind his back and complain to others. It was really despicable. The imperial concubine always suspected that the emperor was lying, because why would the emperor lie to her
But he didn't know that the emperor had already suspected it. He didn't believe that the only woman who brought him warmth in his memory had been defiled by someone.
A girl like that won't change, so I thought of testing her. As a result, the imperial concubine climbed up the pole and said, "Your Majesty, you are making fun of me."
"Besides, I am only crying in front of you."
When the emperor heard this, his heart sank. This woman was not his girl, the woman who brought him warmth in his memory, who was clean and kind.
She never cried, nor told him bad things. Every time they met, she would talk about happy things, making him think that she was living a happy life.
Looking at the imperial concubine, the emperor pulled an ugly smile on his face: "I suddenly remembered that there is still an official matter that I haven't dealt with. You can rest first, and you don't have to wait for me tonight."
The imperial concubine frowned: "Your Majesty, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. You were supposed to go to the queen's place. Did you forget?"
The emperor had actually forgotten this, and suddenly realized: "My concubine is still sensible. I will leave first."
The imperial concubine was also nervous at this time, and had no intention of leaving the emperor behind, so she bowed and said, "Your Highness, I respectfully send you off."
After seeing the emperor off, the imperial concubine's face darkened: "Why is the emperor acting so strange today?"
Lianzi shook her head: "I'm not sure, maybe it's because of the recent assassin incident, which has caused a lot of uproar, and the emperor said he wanted to build a new force, so he's quite busy."
Building a new power? The imperial concubine narrowed her eyes, and I don’t know what she was thinking! After the emperor came out from the imperial concubine, his face darkened.
Eunuch Xiang beside him looked at the emperor in some confusion. The emperor's expression changed too quickly. He was chatting and laughing with the imperial concubine just now, but his expression changed as soon as he came out.
Eunuch Xiang didn't know that the emperor was shocked at this moment. The imperial concubine was not the girl he loved, but she knew so many things.
He even knew many details. Unless he deliberately lied, he would never have thought that the imperial concubine was fake and an imposter.
So if that woman is not the imperial concubine, then who is she? In the Lin family, apart from the imperial concubine Lin Chuwan, the only one left is the queen Lin Chuwu, that is to say.
The girl died at that time, Lin Chuwu. When the emperor thought of this, he suddenly couldn't wait to verify this matter. He looked at Eunuch Xiang and said, "Go to the Queen's palace."
He was originally heading back to his own bedroom, but halfway through he changed direction and went directly to the Queen's palace. Although today was the fifteenth day, the dead emperor was supposed to stay the night.
However, the Queen's palace was still not prepared at all. After the Emperor arrived, the eunuch was about to shout, but was stopped by the Emperor, who then walked in himself.
Inside the hall, there was a thick blanket and Yin'er was crawling on the ground. The queen was sitting next to him, watching Yin'er play.
Si Yin glanced at the sky and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is expected to stay the night today. Do you need to prepare anything?"
The Queen was stunned for a moment before she spoke: "The Emperor won't come if he hasn't been notified. He has so many places to go, are you worried that no one will take him in?"
"Don't bother yourself so much. Wait until Yin'er is tired from playing and then get ready for bed."
The emperor heard these words as soon as he came in. It seemed that not only did he not want to come, but the queen also didn't want him to come. This realization suddenly made the emperor's gloomy mood even gloomier.
He coughed twice, attracting the attention of the Queen and Si Yin. The two of them looked up at the person in front of them, stunned for a moment.
After a long while, everyone finally reacted and began to greet the emperor: "Your Majesty, why are you here today?"
Seeing the emperor staring at him with his eyes wide open, as if he was very surprised, the emperor's face darkened again: "Today is the fifteenth day, I will stay overnight."
The queen blinked her eyes and said with an expression of sudden enlightenment: "The emperor actually follows the rules. This is really rare."
The emperor retorted without thinking: "If I don't follow the rules again, who knows if the queen will bring the phoenix seal to the morning court again. I can't afford to lose face."
The emperor regretted what he said. He obviously didn't come here to quarrel, but the queen's words were so irritating that he couldn't help but retort.
The queen smiled as soon as she heard this: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured about this. Even if you don't come to my palace for a year or so, or even in the future, I won't have any objections."
As expected, the result of fighting back was hearing even more hurtful words. The emperor looked at the queen angrily, but the queen had an innocent look on her face. Even though the emperor was angry, he couldn't vent it.
But he still wanted to verify the result in his heart, and looked at everyone: "You all leave, take Yin'er to rest."
The queen looked at the emperor in confusion. Could it be that he was so angry that he wanted to get rid of everyone so that he could beat her up? Thinking of this, the queen was in a dilemma.
Should I fight back? Or should I fight back? Forget it, I should fight back. Otherwise, I will only get beaten and suffer more. Anyway, I am not afraid of him now.
Thinking of this, the queen felt at ease. She coughed and looked at Si Yin and others who were still waiting for her answer. Then she nodded.
"Everyone, go down, let Yin'er rest early."
The queen squatted in front of Yin'er and said, "Yin'er, my dear, it's time to go to bed."
Yin Er drooled and looked at the Queen: "Mother, mother..."
It was a pity that he couldn't speak clearly, and couldn't even utter the word "mother". The queen couldn't help but smile and kissed Yin'er's little face: "Mother's little darling, go and have a rest."
As he spoke, he picked up Yin'er from the ground and gave him to the nurse. The nurse took the child away and said, "Take good care of the eldest prince tonight."
The wet nurse responded and left with the child in her arms. The queen felt upset when she thought that she would not be able to sleep with her limp son tonight.
In addition, everyone had gone out, leaving only the queen alone, and of course there was the emperor standing opposite her, and the emperor's tone was a little sour.
"You are such a bold maid in the palace. You dare not listen to me. I will find a time to replace them all."
The queen raised her eyebrows and looked at the emperor defensively. Her body was tense as well, and she was always on guard against the emperor: "Your Majesty, it's ok to replace them if you want."
"After all, they are not young anymore and can leave the palace and get married. I agree with this."
The emperor was stifled by these words, thinking that these were all people sent by the palace. Even if he wanted to take any action, he would have to see what the palace said. He snorted.
Only then did he notice the Queen's defensive state: "Why are you standing so far away? Could it be possible that I will do something else to you?"
He just wanted to have a good talk with the Queen, but the Queen didn't know that. She glanced at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, everyone knows the relationship between us."
"You asked everyone to leave, so you must not be thinking of good things. My martial arts are pretty good. If you want to spar with me, I will accompany you to the end!"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then realized that the queen was wrong, and looked at the queen with a bit of a smile: "Queen, who do you think I am?"
"Do you think I asked everyone to leave because I wanted to beat you up?"
The queen snorted lightly: "Who knows! Anyway, it won't be a good thing. If you don't want to take action, then stay a safe distance away from me!"
"Otherwise, I will be worried."
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor was so angry that he walked straight towards the queen, and a war was about to break out...
