Reaching out his hand to remove the black cloth from his eyes and mouth, Hua Chun got used to it for a while before he could see his surroundings clearly.
This should be an abandoned palace, I don't know where it is in the palace. It was already very late, her outer robe was ripped off, the clothes on her body were in a mess, and her hands were worn out by the rope, so it might not be good to just go back like this.
Untying Rui'er next to her, she said in a very embarrassed way: "Why don't you go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation first and bring me a set of clothes? Try not to alarm the emperor."
Looking at the master in front of her, Rui'er cried anxiously: "How could the emperor not know? You didn't go back so late, His Majesty must have started looking for it!"
Hua Chun was silent, and looked down at himself.
Without further ado, Rui'er took off her robe, handed it to her, and said, "Just put it on first, those people failed, just go back and explain to His Majesty."
Yu Wenjie is a very possessive man, will he listen to such an explanation? I'm afraid that if he doesn't say anything, then there will be a knot in his heart, which will deepen the rift between them.
After thinking about it, Hua Chun still put on Rui'er's robe, and then walked out cautiously, trying to sneak back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
However, as soon as they walked halfway, the sound of horseshoes came suddenly behind them, and someone shouted: "There!"
There were many people listening to the voice, Hua Chun subconsciously squeezed his clothes and ran forward. As a result, the horse's hooves sounded behind her, and the man on the horse caught her up without saying a word, and whispered in her ear full of anger, "You still run!"
Being wrapped in someone's arms, with an inexplicable sense of security, Hua Chun actually felt like crying, so she stretched out her arms and hugged him back.
"What's going on?" She was always happy and angry, but this time she even spoke as if she was breathing fire. She was obviously really annoyed, and the hand pinching her waist was very hard.
Take a closer look at the person in his arms, his clothes are disheveled, he is still wearing a maid's gown, there are inexplicable red marks on his face, he looks like he has been tortured.
His heart sank, and the emperor's eyes were full of murderous intent.
"Let's go back and talk about it." Hua Chun whispered, "Go back first."
The knuckles of the knuckles holding the rein turned white, Yu Wenjie already guessed what happened in his heart, took a deep breath, and rode his horse to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
All the palace servants trotting behind couldn't catch up, Eunuch Qin could only look at Rui'er next to him, and asked her in a low voice: "What's going on?"
Rui'er was still in fear, seeing that Eunuch Qin wanted to explain first, she said directly: "The servant and the master were kidnapped and sent to an abandoned palace. Fortunately, the master pretended to be dead cleverly, otherwise he would have been violated."
Eunuch Qin was taken aback, his expression tightened, he glanced at her complainingly, and then at the person behind him.
What's wrong? Rui'er hadn't reacted yet, until a large group of guards and eunuchs all bowed their heads behind them, feeling a little annoyed.
This should be said in private...
Now it's too late to regret it, Eunuch Qin can only say: "It's fine as long as it's okay, the emperor will deal with this matter, and no one should gossip, understand?"
"Understood." A group of people behind him responded one after another.
Rui'er bowed her head and followed guiltily back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Prepare hot water."
Throwing these four characters outward, the emperor closed the palace door with a bang.
Hua Chun felt a little embarrassed, took off Rui'er's robe, put on a cloak, and sat in front of the emperor and said, "I came out of the Empress Dowager's Palace, and I was taken away with my mouth covered."
Yu Wenjie didn't look at her, but stared elsewhere with a complicated expression.
"Those people wanted to rape me and Rui'er, but I pretended to be dead. They were afraid of killing people, so they just tore off my robe." With a smile, Hua Chun tried to make his tone sound more relaxed. : "Am I smart?"
Without saying a word, Yu Wenjie's hand on the table was tightly squeezed.
Hua Chun hurriedly said again: "Actually, I have nothing to do."
Nothing at all, will you come back more than an hour late
Feeling sore, he didn't want to say anything, got up to get the ointment, sat back beside her, pulled her hand over, and applied the ointment little by little.
"It was worn by the rope." Hua Chun said: "You don't know how much work it takes to break the rope on the threshold. I almost despaired, and my arm still hurts."
"Shut up." Yu Wenjie reprimanded in a low voice, turned his head, watched the palace man bring in the hot water, picked her up, and threw her into the tub.
"Don't get your hands wet, come out and rest after washing."
"… Um."
I always feel that there is no difference between explaining and not explaining. This person doesn't respond at all, and she doesn't know what he thinks in his heart. Hua Chun was a little discouraged, but also felt a little wronged, looked at his hands, and decided to take off his clothes and go into the water.
It's not that she can't understand a man's self-esteem. After all, he is the emperor. She was almost bullied on his territory. He should be annoyed. However, you can't ignore her like this, she is innocent!
After washing with difficulty and going out, Hua Chun felt a little more comfortable after changing into pajamas. Lying down beside the emperor, she said: "The law and order in the palace is still not very good. I was taken so many ways by them, and I didn't meet any guards."
"I will deal with this matter." The emperor said indifferently: "You should rest first."
Pursing her lips, Hua Chun raised her eyes and looked directly at him: "Are you despising me?"
"No."
"Then why don't you look at me?"
Yu Wenjie frowned, his eyes were bottomless, and he looked at her quietly, without any tenderness.
Hua Chun was a little angry, forced a smile at him, then turned over and fell asleep on the bed.
The people behind her didn't intend to coax her, they were silent for a while, turned off the lights and lay down quietly.
The next day, for some reason, the news that Concubine Hua was almost raped spread throughout the palace. Of course, it was all discussed quietly, and no one dared to speak on the stage.
He Chang'an entered the palace in the afternoon, Hua Chun was going to talk to him about Prince Xi's affairs, but he went to Zichen Hall without saying a word, and when he finally came to the Imperial Garden, his face was already bruised.
"What's the matter?" Looking at him in surprise, Hua Chun's heart sank: "Second brother, you won't fight with the emperor, right?"
He Chang'an smiled lightly: "No, it's just a martial arts competition."
What's the best way to discuss it? Hua Chun pursed her lips: "Do you also know what happened last night?"
After a moment of silence, He Changan said: "You have been wronged."
"It's nothing to be wronged, but what makes me curious is, why did this matter spread so quickly that even you knew about it?"
He Changan pursed his lips, and said slightly angrily: "You are in the palace now, and you are already attracting attention. If something happens, you can't be caught and bitten?"
That's what he was angry about. If someone said that he couldn't dodge the backstabbing, why couldn't the emperor control the mouths of the people around him
