The Salted Fish Empress Dotes on the Harem

Chapter 25
Because the tasks assigned to Lin Cairen's elder brother have been very successful recently, the emperor is happy that his subordinates have gained another general, and the joy in his heart is unspeakable, so he decided to favor Lin Cairen on the same day, so he asked Han Mingde to reply to the man I will go to see the eldest prince tomorrow.

It's strange that he heard that concubine Shu didn't bully Zhao Cairen today, but just targeted Lin Cairen.

But in the end, Zhao Cairen didn't escape, and let Concubine Shu punish him.

On weekdays, he knew that Concubine Shu was arrogant and domineering, and when he thought about her giving birth to the eldest prince, he turned a blind eye. Now Concubine Shu is getting worse and worse. It seems that he has to cure Concubine Shu's unhealthy tendencies. It's evil!
The torrential rain came quickly, the amount of rain was really heavy, and it hurt a little bit when it hit the person. Han Mingde thought: He feels like this even if he is a rough person, let alone Zhao Cairen who is thin in front of him?

Right now the emperor didn't say to leave, he just stared at Zhao Cairen in the rain, not knowing what he was thinking.

Just as he was thinking, Zhao Cairen not far away suddenly fell to the ground, and the maid beside him yelled a few times but did not wake up. Seeing that the maid was struggling to lift Zhao Nuoqing up, she had no strength.

The palace maid didn't know what to say, and suddenly got up and ran away, leaving the thin Zhao Nuoqing lying in the rain.

Suddenly, a bright yellow figure flew down from the sedan chair, Han Mingde's eyes widened, and he hurried forward with an umbrella, shouting, "Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body!"

Shen Bochen turned a deaf ear, strode towards Zhao Cairen, picked him up from the rain-soaked bluestone bricks, and then shouted, "Go to the Hall of Yangrong, Xuan Imperial Physician!"

Han Mingde immediately ordered the fast-footed little eunuch to announce the imperial physician, while the emperor carried Zhao Nuoqing into the sedan chair.

After getting into the sedan chair, Shen Bochen looked nervously at Zhao Cairen, whose eyes were closed and fainted, and then suddenly sneered.

"If you don't wake up, I will throw you down!"

I saw that the person whose eyes were originally closed suddenly opened slowly, full of fear and helplessness.

Zhao Nuoqing immediately got up and knelt down towards the emperor.

"Your Majesty forgive me, the concubine didn't pretend to be dizzy on purpose!"

Shen Bochen stared at Zhao Nuoqing coldly, and snorted coldly: "It wasn't intentional, then there was a reason, then you can explain it to me, why are you pretending to faint?"

Zhao Nuoqing lowered his head and wrapped his wet clothes sticky around his body. He didn't know whether it was cold or frightened, and he kept trembling, "Concubine...concubine just doesn't want to get wet in the rain again. So, I thought about pretending to faint and then let the maid beside me go to the imperial hospital to announce the imperial doctor, so I can go back to Lingyun Pavilion. However, the concubine did not expect that you, the emperor, would appear suddenly, and you were also drenched in the rain. The concubine knows this, she will continue to kneel obediently, and ask the emperor to punish her!"

A look of inquiry flashed in Shen Bochen's eyes, and he thought to himself: Could it be that she acted this act for him?

Looking at Zhao Nuoqing who was thin and trembling, the emperor finally couldn't bear it, and his tone softened a little, "Punishment is inevitable, let's owe it today!"

Zhao Nuoqing raised his head suddenly, with a smile on his face, his clear eyes seemed to be full of stars, looking at him, "Has the emperor forgiven my concubine?"

Shen Bochen's eyes moved slightly, and his breathing suddenly tightened. It cannot be denied that Zhao Nuoqing was very good-looking, especially those eyes, which seemed to be able to speak.

However, as the king of a country, how can he indulge in beauty?

The emperor who reacted slightly frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I mean to punish you in another day, why did I ever say that I would forgive you?"

Zhao Nuoqing's originally clear eyes instantly dimmed like a extinguished candle, and he slowly lowered his head, seeing that the emperor's heart sank.

She only heard her buzzing voice: "The emperor, why don't you punish me today? Otherwise, the concubine will remember this punishment every day, and she will definitely not be able to eat or sleep well!"

Listening to Zhao Nuoqing's words, Shen Bochen burst out laughing, Zhao Cairen is really too funny.

Zhao Nuoqing looked up at the emperor in confusion, and saw that the coldness in the emperor's eyes had long since disappeared, replaced by a gentle smile, and he couldn't help being slightly stunned looking at her.

In just a moment, the emperor regained his sternness just now, but he looked at Zhao Nuoqing with a softer look, "I want to torture you like this, so that you can remember, don't use your little tricks at will! Concubine Shu You are a high-ranking empress, punishing you is also for your own good, but you are thinking of using tricks to escape punishment, which is disrespectful to Concubine Shu!"

Zhao Nuoqing hurriedly lowered his head again, and confessed earnestly and submissively: "The concubine knows her mistake, she will never dare again!"

Zhao Nuoqing thought: The emperor knew that it was Concubine Shu who punished her, but he didn't ask her why, so he protected Concubine Shu, presumably one is to remind her of respect and courtesy, and the other is to let outsiders know that Concubine Shu is also in his heart. Heavy portion.

In this way, the restraint between concubine Shu and the queen can be maintained for a long time.

The emperor is worthy of being the king of a country, and the technique of checks and balances on the courtiers in the court is still very applicable to the concubines in the harem.

As soon as the words fell, the sedan chair outside slowly stopped, and Han Mingde's voice came from outside the curtain, "Your Majesty, the Yangrong Palace is here, come down with Zhao Cairen and change into clean clothes, don't catch cold!"

Zhao Nuoqing was about to get up to open the palanquin curtain for the emperor, when suddenly her wrist was grabbed by the emperor's slender, powerful and warm hand, Zhao Nuoqing raised her brows slightly, and suddenly the hand pulled her staggeringly, Zhao Nuoqing He fell and sat in the arms of the emperor.

Her eyes were wide open, panicked, and she heard the emperor say with a smile: "It was I who carried you into the sedan chair just now, and now Zhao Cairen walked out in such a bold manner, because she wanted to tell the world that I was a child by you." Has the young man been fooled?"

Zhao Nuoqing hurriedly said: "No! Didn't the emperor expose the concubine? The emperor is wise and powerful, how could he be fooled by the concubine?"

Shen Bochen suppressed the smile in his heart, pretending to be serious and said: "But the servants outside watched with their own eyes when I carried you into the sedan chair, who had fainted!"

Zhao Nuoqing thought for a while, then said cautiously: "Then... the concubine continues to pretend to be dizzy?"

After finishing speaking, the emperor nodded slowly.

Zhao Nuoqing's cheeks flushed slightly, she closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate, and waited for the emperor to carry her out.

At this time, the rain outside was not as pouring as before. Although it was still falling quickly, it was already much lighter.

The emperor's arms are powerful, and when he picked her up, it was as easy as picking up a little doll.

The sedan chair was sent to the Yangrong Hall, so they didn't have to get in the rain anymore, Han Mingde immediately sent the palace maids and eunuchs to bathe and change clothes for the two of them.

The imperial physician had been waiting in the hall early, waiting to feel the pulse of the emperor and Zhao Nuoqing.
