After this thought came to his mind, Emperor Jingren was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, he was rational and understood that with his vague memory, he could forge as many Yuanpas as he wanted.
There was nothing to be seen about the Yuanpa and the wedding dress, so he had to investigate in detail to confirm what was going on. Fortunately, everything the queen did after entering the palace was recorded in great detail, so it was easy to understand. He had to spend some time to check in detail to determine whether the queen was a man when she entered the palace, or changed after entering.
Both are crimes of deceiving the emperor, but for Emperor Jingren, the meanings are different.
If this was the queen when she entered the palace, then it can only be said that General Xiao raised a man as a woman for some unknown reason. Maybe there was some hidden secret in the inner house. Maybe even General Xiao himself didn't know that his daughter was actually a man, and the queen also had her own unspeakable secrets. But if she was replaced after entering the palace, then it means that the current queen has ulterior motives and the Xiao family has rebellious intentions.
Emperor Jingren sincerely hoped it was the first case, so that he would try to understand the queen.
Thinking of the days when they shared the same bed, woke up at the sound of cock-crows, and cherished the feelings for the queen, Emperor Jingren felt a pang of heartache. He was attracted to the queen, not the cheap momentary love that an emperor has, but admiration from the bottom of his heart. Emperor Jingren longed to spend his life with the current queen, and hoped that his offspring would be the common blood of the two of them, but now...
Emperor Jingren silently put away the phoenix robe and the Yuan handkerchief, and looked at the records of the empress after she entered the palace, from the monthly pulse records to what she ate every day, every bit of it recorded the years the empress had spent in the palace.
As he read, the night grew deeper. Emperor Jingren did not sleep last night, and he was very tired tonight. He sat at the desk, propped up his arms, and slowly fell asleep.
The guards on duty tonight quietly walked into the imperial study and lit the incense burner for Emperor Jingren.
As the fragrance filled the air, Emperor Jingren felt as if he was dreaming, but also as if he was in reality. He couldn't tell the difference for a moment, and tried hard to open his eyes, trying to see clearly what was in front of him.
A tall figure came over, dressed in guard uniform. Emperor Jingren didn't see his face, but the clothes reminded him of the Queen and himself at the hunting ground. He was full of vigor and vigor, and he held a sword in one hand and a stone in the other. In just a blink of an eye, all the assassins were killed by him.
At that time, he was sitting on the horse in a daze, and the queen fell from the air behind him, hugged his waist and said: "I will protect your majesty."
Yes, the Queen has always been protecting me, Emperor Jingren thought absentmindedly.
The figure helped Emperor Jingren up and whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, it's time to rest."
Emperor Jingren couldn't tell who the voice belonged to. He shook his head and said, "Let's go to Kunning Palace... No, let's go to Chengqian Palace. I'm tired tonight and don't need anyone to serve me."
"Yes, sir." The owner of the voice helped Emperor Jingren up, supported him with one hand, and took the incense burner with the other hand and placed it under Emperor Jingren's nose, allowing him to fully smell the fragrance.
Emperor Jingren was helped into a sedan chair and carried all the way back to the Zichen Hall in Chengqian Palace. Someone helped him lie down and took off his clothes.
This man was dressed in the attire of a guard and was not one of the ordinary eunuchs or palace maids who served him.
Emperor Jingren raised his hand and touched the man's chest, and the feeling... was quite different from that of the Queen.
He was alert, but couldn't open his eyes, as if he was too tired, or as if he couldn't see anything if he opened them. Before he knew it, his clothes had been undone, and a rough hand was groping around on his chest.
It seemed that the voice of Eunuch Lian came from a faraway place. Emperor Jingren could not hear clearly what he was saying, but he was a little angry in his heart. Eunuch Lian was the general manager of Tai Construction and was highly valued by him. Why did he allow such an impetuous person to discipline him
Emperor Jingren raised his hand to shake the man off, but his arm was so limp that he couldn't even lift it. He tried to speak, his voice as tiny as a mosquito's: "Who are you?"
"Your Majesty, you don't need to know," the voice chuckled, "I'm almost out of the game. Rather than waiting to die, I might as well put myself in a desperate situation and then survive. Maybe after one night, Your Majesty, you won't blame me. If you do, I won't suffer any loss. At most, I will just die. Why should I be afraid of death?"
The man's voice was extremely familiar. Emperor Jingren felt that he must have seen this person often, but his brain was dulled by the incense and he couldn't remember who it was.
Fragrance... This fragrance is very familiar. He has smelled it from the four virtuous concubines, as well as Concubine Lin Guipin and Lin Boyuan... These people, this fragrance... He couldn't recognize these people's faces after hitting his head, but he remembered this fragrance.
The men whose faces he couldn't recognize were the Queen, Eunuch Lian, Xiao Shunzi...
"Yan Xu!" Emperor Jingren suddenly opened his eyes and saw the man in front of him clearly. He was the commander of the imperial guards, but he was wearing the clothes of an ordinary imperial guard. It was obvious that he had used his power to sneak into the palace!
Yan Xu's usually upright face actually revealed a malicious smile: "I mixed some aphrodisiac in the incense and increased the dosage. Your Majesty should not have woken up. Please continue to sleep."
Emperor Jingren suddenly woke up, but when the energy subsided, he became dizzy again. He fell back on the bed weakly, squinting at Yan Xu who was undressing, and said vigilantly: "Yan Xu, if you dare to damage the dragon body, I will make you wish you were dead!"
Unexpectedly, Yan Xu said nonchalantly: "I don't care about survival. I just want to sleep on your majesty's dragon bed for one night. When your majesty wakes up tomorrow morning, if you are willing, you can deal with me. If you are not willing, maybe I will win."
Emperor Jingren felt that Yan Xu seemed to be a completely different person from before. He was not in a clear mind and could not tell which one was a disguise and which one was real. He could only stay awake as much as possible and watched Yan Xu take off his clothes and lie down. When Yan Xu leaned down, he also reached out to cover Emperor Jingren's eyes.
"Go to sleep, your majesty."
Emperor Jingren felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and could not tell whether it was real or a dream. It seemed that he had spent a night of love, but also that he had been violated. In a trance, he seemed to have had an unspeakable thing happen with Yan Xu. Although he was disgusted in his heart, his body felt very comfortable.
Emperor Jingren didn't know how many times he had been tossed around. When he woke up, he felt like his whole body was aching, or like only his head was aching. He opened his eyes and it was already daybreak. He had obviously missed the morning court. Beside him lay a shirtless man, sleeping in an indecent position, with his entire face buried in the pillow, revealing only his black hair.
When Emperor Jingren saw this man, he was furious. Yan Xu was so bold that after doing such a thing to him, he dared to sleep on the dragon bed until noon!
Emperor Jingren wanted to call the guards to arrest this shameless man, but he remembered that he was naked now, so he gritted his teeth and grabbed a piece of clothing to put on...
Wait, he is wearing clothes, but they were clearly taken off last night.
This question made Emperor Jingren take a closer look at the person lying next to him. He felt that the chest was so strong and familiar that he patted it hard.
After the person next to him was photographed, he turned over and revealed his face. It was the queen!
