Palace scheming: Empress Leng Gong I

Chapter 55 How long will the emperor be honored and favored (1)
When she lost her mind, he still pulled her slender hand out of the quilt, and tightly, tightly intertwined it with his fingers.Then I saw him leaning down slightly, and when Yun Qing's eyelids twitched, his kiss fell lightly on her forehead, and his deep voice was soft and disorienting: "You are tired, go to sleep, I Wait here until you fall asleep."

His hand clasped Yun Qing's tightly, making her feel the warmth of his palm. Although it was not as hot as her own, it still burned her heart lightly.

Staring blankly at his handsome eyes full of passion, and staring at him with a faint smile on his face, Yun Qing believed that he would not stay tonight again.

But, he asked how to love him... how, how could she love him?
He is the emperor, he is the emperor of Tianque Kingdom, he is the man that many women in this harem yearn for, he is the husband of many women... But he does not belong to anyone!

Feeling very tired suddenly, Yun Qing silently turned her head to the side, closed her eyes deeply and stopped looking at him.The medicine took effect gradually, knowing that he would not leave easily, and she did not have the strength to confront him again. This time, her mind calmed down a lot, and a strong drowsiness hit her, and there were no people who kept shaking before. And things, shaking her so that she couldn't sleep peacefully.

Seeing the breathing of the person in front of him gradually stabilized, Xuanyuan Ze gently held her slender fingers and put them to his lips, with a contented and warm expression.

He finally let her let go of her guard against him, and finally let him hold her hand and watch her fall asleep by her bedside.Although she may not have much strength to fight with him because of her illness, but he is satisfied.

Holding his hand for a moment, it was so warm that he never wanted to let it go.

Her beauty has long been branded in his heart; her every frown and smile has already unknowingly affected his heart.The love she wanted, no matter what it was, he would give it to her.

As long as she is willing to let him love her, as long as she no longer rejects him thousands of miles away!He believed that he would let her get used to him forever!Get used to holding hands, kissing, and being nice to her.

One day, he will replace the person in her heart and become her real man.

The bead curtain moved lightly, and the breeze brought in from the outside flickered the candlelight in the hall.Accompanied by Chang Le's light footsteps, the candle wick exploded with a spark, like a lover's heartbeat, thumping.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, and you should go back to the palace to rest." Seeing the emperor who was sitting beside the queen's bed waiting for him, Chang Le approached softly, persuading the emperor to go back to the palace to rest.

In the past few days, the emperor's mind was unknown to others, but he was the one who knew it best.

The next day the rain broke and the sky was gloomy.

When Yun woke up, only Xiao Taohong was waiting by the bed.

"Miss is awake." Xiao Taohong was overjoyed, and when she saw that Yun Qing was awake, she stepped forward to help Yun Qing, stuffed a soft cushion behind her, and said, "I was just about to wake up Miss, Bi Tao's The medicine is almost ready, and it should be here in a while."

"Yeah!" After a good night's sleep, Yun Qing felt much clearer.Although it was still a little heavy, it was much better than yesterday's groggy.

"Miss, why don't you ask the emperor?" Xiao Taohong grinned, seeing that Yun Qing's face blushed slightly, and said unnaturally, "Ask him what?"

"May I ask when the emperor left last night?" Xiao Taohong said it naturally, but in Yun Qing's view, it had a deep meaning.

Xiumei raised her eyebrows, she shook her head helplessly, and said, "Why should I ask when he will leave? Xiao Taohong, help me to freshen up, I haven't made today's herbal tea yet."

Instinctively, Xiao Taohong wanted to bring up the topic of that person to herself, Yun Qing lightly lifted the quilt out of bed, and lightly changed the subject, not wanting to bring up that person.

"Miss, you should take a rest today! Bitao and I have gathered the rain and dew, and now Bitao is using your usual boiling method to help Prince Yi make herbal tea!" Xiao Taohong told her while pressing Yunqing to prevent her from getting up. With them helping to deliver the herbal tea to Lord Yi, she would not have to work too hard today.

"Miss, are you awake? That's great! Drink the soup and medicine!" Bi Tao came in with a bowl of medicine, saw that Yun Qing was about to get out of bed, hurried to the bed, told Yun Qing to sit down, and came over with a bowl Hello Yunqing.

"I'd better drink it!" Bitao fed it spoonful by spoonful, and Yun Qing felt that Bitao and Xiao Taohong looked at him with ambiguous smiles, making her cheeks feel inexplicably hot.

Taking the medicine bowl from Bitao's hand, she drank it straight from the bowl.

She drank it all in one bowl, and the bitter taste made her beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly. Suddenly, a small clay pot appeared in front of her, and a sweet and sour smell pierced her nostrils.

"Miss, eat a plum quickly! It will relieve your pain." Bi Tao took the bowl in Yun Qing's hand and put it aside, looked at Yun Qing who was in a daze with the plum jar in Xiao Taohong's hand and smiled: "Come on, Miss, try it." Can it be sweet?"

As she spoke, she picked up a plum with her chopsticks and carefully handed it to her eyes.

"Mm, slightly sour, lightly sweet. It's delicious!" Yun Qing's previously tightly-knit eyebrows immediately relaxed after taking a cool plum in his mouth.Looking at the brightly colored plums in the jar, she couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get this? No wonder you two are so mysterious. It turns out that you hid something good and wanted to surprise me!"

Bi Tao immediately burst into a sweet smile when she heard the sound, and said cheerfully, "It's delicious! Hehe, the emperor is really caring. Seeing that the medicine is too bitter for the lady, he specially sent these here early in the morning."

"Your majesty?" Yun Qing raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Bi Tao in surprise, she never thought that these plums were actually sent by Xuanyuan Ze.

"That's right, miss doesn't know. The emperor left last night when he was ugly, and Yinshi came to see miss on purpose, and asked Mr. Chang Le to bring pickled plums. He said that after taking medicine, miss's mouth would be bitter, so we specially gave it to you." Miss, relieve your suffering." Xiao Taohong obviously talked a lot more than usual today, if Yun Qing hadn't been completely attracted by her words, she would have thought that it was Bitao, not Xiao Taohong, who was talking to her right now. .

It turned out to be him!

With a heartbeat, Yun Qing thought it was the plum that Bi Tao and Xiao Taohong found somewhere to relieve her suffering, but she didn't expect it to be him.

Thinking of the situation where he insisted on feeding herself medicine last night, her heart inexplicably quickened.He said that the plums were brought over because the medicine was bitter, and it was not because he drank it himself...

Thinking of his gentle expression towards her last night, Yun Qing's face immediately turned crimson.Thinking of his hypnotic kiss on her forehead, and thinking of his insistence on holding her hand tightly with her, her heart was in a mess.

Last night, he had too many tender actions that she dared not face!It was so obvious and natural that she was a little at a loss.

She was not used to him like this, and she didn't like the helpless reaction she would have when facing him like this.

She must be sick and confused, how can he take his tenderness seriously?She saw with her own eyes how gentle he was to Concubine Hua, how cold he was to her, and how disdainful and annoying he was to her back then.

How could such a person have true tenderness?Not to mention the so-called sincerity!

"Miss, miss, what's the matter with you?" Bi Tao watched Yun Qing's face gradually turn from red to white, and her originally shy expression gradually turned into indifference, her heart tightened, she wondered what Miss thought of again.

"I'm fine, you take these out! I don't want to eat!" Yun Qing shook her head lightly, looking at the clay pot in front of her, she thought of the man's hypocrisy.

At Sishi, Xuanyuanze went straight to Jinfeng Palace, but he didn't see Yun Qing in the palace, and the embarrassed Xiao Taohong replied that Yun Qing had gone to Ningxin Palace and never returned.

Enduring the anger in his heart, he sat quietly in the hall and waited for her.Xiao Taohong and the others stood carefully in the hall, looking at the black-faced emperor, they all dared not show their anger, hoping that the young lady would come back soon.

Because Yunqing got up late today, when he delivered the herbal tea made by Bitao to Ningxin Palace, he saw Hua Heng was treating Xuanyuan Yi.Seeing her pale face, Hua Heng saw at a glance that she was sick.

Xuanyuan Yijun frowned, looked at Yun Qing who smiled lightly and said it was okay, and asked Hua Heng to diagnose her pulse.

Hua Heng confirmed that she was indeed infected with wind-cold disease, as long as she recuperates well, she will get better.But Xuanyuan Yi was still uneasy and insisted on sending Yun Qing back quickly, but Yun Qing asked him to drink herbal tea first, and then chatted with Hua Heng about his condition for a while, before Xuanyuan Yi repeatedly urged him to let him go Send her back to the palace.

As soon as he entered the Golden Phoenix Palace, Yun Qing felt that the atmosphere in the palace was a bit strange, but as soon as he walked outside the palace, Ling Ge stepped forward quickly and said softly: "Your Majesty, the emperor is waiting for you in the inner palace."

Xuanyuan Yi was startled, looked at Yun Qing whose complexion changed slightly, and asked indifferently: "Does he know that you are sick?"

He has heard about the emperor's affairs these days. He heard that he kept recruiting new concubines a few days ago, but suddenly he didn't recruit any of them in the past few days. He just spent all his time on above government affairs.

He didn't have much interest in his affairs, but he didn't want to see Yun Qing sad because of this, so he never mentioned it in front of her.

At this moment, it should be the time when he just went to court, why did he come to Jinfeng Palace before returning to Longgan Palace?
Could it be that he already knew that Yun Qing was ill, so he came here to see her?

"En." Yun Qing nodded lightly, not paying much attention to Xuanyuan Yi's expression, just thinking about how he should face that person.

Seeing her sudden absent-minded expression, Xuanyuan Yi's eyes dimmed slightly, and his mood quickly sank.

It seemed that she already had that person in her heart.But that person was a man destined to make her sad.

"Go, I'll go in with you." Looking deeply at her, he said that he would help her and protect her.

If she really fell in love with that person, although he would be sad, he would still protect her from that person's harm as much as possible.

She is so kind and beautiful, she deserves all that man's love!He didn't want that man to only see her as one of those harem women!she is not!

"Uh, good!" Yun Qing raised his head and saw the worry in Xuanyuan Yi's eyes, and understood that he was worried about himself.Last time, after he thought that Xuanyuan Ze had favored him, he was worried that he would hurt himself because that person was the emperor.

She secretly understood his kindness in her heart, she was moved by his ability to understand herself, and moved by his silent sacrifice for herself.

So she is really willing to make such a good friend as him. After getting along these days, although the palace is ruthless, he is affectionate and righteous.

It's just that he still refuses to tell her the contradiction between him and the Queen Mother.Every time he mentions it, he will look gloomy, and then keep silent.

Yun Qing knew that maybe it was the stubborn rock in his heart that he could never break.If one day he is willing to tell himself or someone, it means he has figured it out.

She was waiting for this day to come, and she sincerely hoped that one day he would open his heart.She even hopes that his illness can be cured as soon as possible!
Seeing Yun Qing who entered the palace with Xuanyuan Yi, Xuanyuan Ze's dark complexion suddenly became darker, and it seemed that Yun Qing and Xuanyuan Yi greeted him as if he had never heard of it, but just stared at Yun Qing's still pale face. Faces and palms are tightly clenched together.

"Please slow down, Your Majesty!" Looking at Xuanyuan Ze who came over without saying a word and grabbed Yun Qing's hand and was about to enter the inner hall, Xuanyuan Yi moved and quickly blocked his way.

"What is the emperor doing?" Looking at Xuanyuan Yi coldly, Xuanyuan Ze tried not to let himself get angry.

He patiently waited for her to come back, but when she actually brought Xuanyuan Yi back to the palace together!
Doesn't she know she shouldn't be walking around when she's sick?She didn't know that he was very worried about her body. From morning to now, even in court, did he want to run over to see her all the time?
"It's nothing, I just want to tell the emperor that the emperor's sister-in-law is sick. If the emperor has time, he can spend more time with the emperor's wife!" Looking into Xuanyuanze's eyes calmly, Xuanyuan Yi was frank and frank, without being looked down upon by him at all. The anger frightened away.

He really liked Yun Qing very much. Although she was his wife-in-law, his liking for her would not be subject to these constraints.

She has always kept her status as a queen, and she doesn't like any overstepping between herself and her, so he obeys her wish and only treats her as a friend.

If she had Brother Huang in her heart, he would try his best to help her get happiness.If that person can't give her happiness at all, he won't allow him to bring her any harm.

"I will! Brother Huang, if you have nothing else to do, go back first!" Although Xuanyuan Ze didn't understand Xuanyuan Yi's words that surprised him, his attitude did not ease much.

Clutching Yun Qing's hand tightly, his handsome eyes fixed on Xuanyuan Yi, and he coldly indicated that he could get out of the way.

"Yes! Please take care of the emperor's sister-in-law, and the younger brother will leave first!" Xuanyuan Yi nodded lightly, then glanced at the pale Yun Qing, and finally turned to one side of his body, allowing the two of them to enter the hall.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Xuanyuan Ze stretched out his big hand, suddenly picked up Yun Qing, walked to the bed, and put her on the bed: "Why are you still running around when you are sick?"

Yun Qing was startled at first, and then saw that he had reached out to take off his shoes, and couldn't help but open his eyes, frightened, he stretched out his hand to block it: "I, I'm not sleepy."

Yesterday he fed her medicine enough to make people turn pale, but today he actually wants to take off his shoes himself...

"I didn't ask you to sleep! I want you to rest well and don't run anywhere anymore!" Xuanyuan Ze raised his eyes and gave her a cold look, which made Yun Qing panic for no reason, and obediently withdrew her hand , no longer resist.

It's not that she hasn't seen him angry before, but she is wise not to provoke him with such suppressed anger like this one, for fear that in exchange for his crazy behavior that she can't resist.

Biting her lips tightly, she quickly got into the quilt by herself before he helped her take off her shoes and socks, and pulled the quilt to cover herself tightly.

"What are you doing?" She looked so much like a frightened kitten. Xuanyuan Ze was taken aback for a moment, and then saw that she was covering the quilt without taking off her clothes. The quilt on her body said: "Sit up quickly, you haven't eaten lunch yet, why are you sleeping?"

"I... am not hungry." Yun Qing pulled the quilt tightly, even though she was wearing all her clothes, but the action of him pulling her quilt reminded her involuntarily of the scene before she went to bed last night.

Let her voice become soft, like a mosquito.

Her expression made the corners of Xuanyuanze's beautiful lips flutter slightly, and the unconcealable smile in his eyes immediately replaced the anger just now. Looking at Yun Qing who is so restrained, his mood finally became lighter .

Leaning down, when Yun Qing was so frightened that he closed his eyes, he changed his hands holding the quilt to embrace the quilt, and hugged her whole body together with the quilt.

Looking at her tightly closed eyes with a smile, the corners of his lips lifted, and a soft chuckle sounded above Yun Qing's head: "Eat even if you're not hungry! Eat with me!"

There was no anger or anger in his voice; instead, it was gently coaxed, as if Yun Qing was a child who hadn't grown up, being cared for tenderly by him.

Heart trembling suddenly, Yun Qing opened his eyes and saw his handsome eyes looking at him tenderly, all the reason before was melted into clouds under his gentle smiling face!

It made her look at him a little stupidly, forgetting to breathe.

Such a close distance, such a rare peace, such an ambiguous atmosphere, at the same time solidified the aura between the two into a space that makes people slam their hearts.

Staring deeply at those clear and beautiful eyes that only had him in them, Xuanyuan Ze felt his breath tightened, and the hands holding the quilt unconsciously passed behind her, completely embracing her in his arms... As soon as he lowered his head, he let the kiss he wanted to kiss her lips lightly fall on her forehead.

Then, he let her go gently, and under Yun Qing's somewhat surprised hesitation, he quickly straightened up, coughed lightly, and called Chang Le and others who were waiting outside the hall to enter the hall.

"What is the emperor's order?" Chang Le bowed respectfully to Xuanyuan Ze, and secretly glanced at Yun Qing who was sitting on the bed. Seeing that the relationship between the two seemed not as bad as they imagined, she couldn't help crying tone.

Xuanyuan Ze ordered him to quickly bring in the lunch of the two of them.

"Yes, I'm going to prepare now, servant!" Chang Le was overjoyed to hear the emperor's order, and hurriedly retreated out.

It seems that Huang Chan will no longer suppress himself as he did two days ago.If this continues, he is really afraid that not only the emperor will go crazy, but he will also go crazy because he is secretly worried about him.

Then, Xuanyuanze sat alone at the desk in the hall, picked up the "Book of Songs" that Yunqing was reading two days ago, and asked Bitao and Xiao Taohong to come in and change Yunqing's coat.

Although Yun Qing was not used to having an extra man in the palace, but she couldn't help seeing that man acted as he pleased.

Just like that, Bitao and the others brought Yunqing lunch to her on the bed, but the emperor's lunch was moved to Yunqing's bedside to eat!And the man watched Yun Qing eat the amount of food he requested before allowing her to hold the chopsticks with satisfaction.

After the meal, Yun Qing originally thought that he would have nothing to say and could leave now, but Xuanyuan Ze still stayed in the hall and asked her to take a nap while he read a book here before leaving.

Reluctantly, Yun Qing lay down on the bed and counted the bamboos with some depression, until after counting nine hundred and ninety-nine bamboos, she felt drowsy gradually and fell into a deep sleep.

After a good night's sleep, when she woke up, she was a little surprised to see that the man was still sitting upright reading a book.

It's just that the book in his hand has been changed from "Book of Songs" to "Book of Changes", which made Yun Qing a little bit annoyed, why didn't he move all these books to Qingfengxuan...

From time to time, Bi Tao would bring over the fried medicinal food, and Xuanyuanze would feed Yun Qing the medicine again, and with just a look in his eyes, Yun Qing didn't even have to refuse.

After drinking the medicine and having dinner, the man still lingered on, which really made Yun Qing a little annoyed.

Gathering up her courage, she told him that it was getting late and asked him to go back and rest.

But Xuanyuanze was fine, he directly said that he would go back after she fell asleep.

After hearing his answer, Yun Qing almost went crazy.She has been asleep for most of the day, how could she fall back asleep so quickly, why is he so energetic?Didn't it mean that he barely closed his eyes last night?
Reluctantly, he became extremely bad-tempered, always with a warm smile on his face, no matter what Yun Qing asked him to leave, hinted, or explicitly asked him to leave, he just refused to leave.
