Rebirth Palace Chaos

Chapter 103

"Why hasn't Concubine Yan come back yet?"

"Your Majesty is dealing with affairs in Concubine Shu's Palace, please rest first, Your Majesty."

When Su Yan returned to the palace, she heard Duan Zhaoling's weak voice in the inner room.

Stepping into the door, she stopped abruptly, and she turned around and walked out, just as Wang Zhongming who had just left the door bumped into her.

When he saw Su Yan, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has been looking for your empress for a long time, and he has to wait for you to come to settle her. Go in quickly."

"I'm feeling a little uncomfortable right now, let's tell the talented person to come over." Su Yan refused coldly.

Wang Zhongming just looked at her, didn't make a sound, and didn't back away, apparently determined to invite Su Yan in.

"Yan'er, but you are outside?" Duan Zhaoling's voice came out, followed by another cough.

Su Yan pushed Wang Zhongming away and went inside.

Although it was only a few steps away, she felt that it had become extraordinarily long tonight.

Duan Zhaoling's abnormal behavior must have something to do with Concubine Shu's secret meeting.

Could it be that Su Yan's heart trembled, he had already seen through his identity?
With a few more soft calls, Su Yan lifted the curtain, staring blankly at the pale man with thin cheeks on the couch, without saying a word.

Since when did he actually grow so old?

He stretched out his hand, grabbed Su Yan's catkin, and held on tightly, "It's good that you come, I don't want talented people, I just want you to accompany me."

Although in the past six years, they have had innumerable lingering loves, but at this moment, Duan Zhaoling felt as if they had met for the first time. He was very afraid, afraid that she would leave silently again.

Su Yan smiled lightly, but that smile made Duan Zhaoling feel very strange.

"Your Majesty doesn't want to ask Concubine Shu how she got there?"

Duan Zhaoling paused, shook his head and closed his eyes, "This is her life."

Su Yan sat down slowly, "It turns out that in the eyes of His Majesty, those women who have been favored by you are nothing but a life, and death is not a pity, right?"

He suddenly opened his eyes, but seeing that face was still bright and charming, but he always felt that Su Yan was hidden behind the surface, so he couldn't see clearly.

"Then what can I do?" Slightly sullen turned into helplessness, he fumbled to sit up, but Su Yan took a step back, avoiding his embrace.

"The concubine is tired and wants to rest alone." Su Yan blessed her body, turned her head and left.

After walking a few steps, someone hugged her from behind and pressed heavily on her.

"I am already old, but you are still so young..." His voice trembled slightly, but his arms were tightened tightly, like a dying person grabbing the last straw, like a fish on the shore , desperately looking for water.

"Your Majesty, you are tired and always talking nonsense. The concubine sent the imperial doctor to show you." Su Yan broke free, but he exhausted his last strength and hugged him onto the couch.

He locked fingers with Su Yan, pressed her on the couch, leaned over from above, and locked her eyes, "My illness is too incurable, and you are the only medicine in the world."

Su Yan turned her face away, and he bent down and buried his whole face into her neck.

The ice-cold kiss fell little by little, and he sucked out the bruises between the collarbone with great force.

Su Yan was imprisoned by him, unable to move, mixed with pain.

She was a little scared, Duan Zhaoling attacked almost crazily, as if he would die tomorrow.

But this body, I don't want to teach him to touch it anymore, the burden is too heavy, and it will overflow when touched.

With a sudden effort, Duan Zhaoling was pushed away by Su Yan unexpectedly, and hit the inner wall.

I saw that her hairpins were scattered and her clothes were half off, but her eyes were extremely clear.

"Indulging in lust and hurting your body, please respect yourself, Your Majesty."

"Hehe..." He first laughed lowly, and then gradually grew louder, "I can't even touch my own woman now!"

Su Yan put on her clothes neatly and went to bed, then she raised her voice outside and said, "Sang Yu, tell the talented person to come here."

"I don't want anyone but you, go back!" Duan Zhaoling scolded angrily, Su Yan remained unmoved, and raised her head and said, "Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, sister Zhen, please take good care of me."

Zhen Cai has a calm demeanor, if it were the other concubines, she would have been scared away by the emperor's actions.

She gently stepped forward, helped Duan Zhaoling to lie down, but was pushed away by him forcefully, "I don't need you."

With a cold expression, she still looked outside the door, but Su Yan's figure had long since disappeared.

Zhen Cairen came over again and tied the middle coat for him, "Your Majesty, please listen to my concubine, the harder you push, the further you will push the imperial concubine away."

Only then did Duan Zhaoling turn his head slightly, and looked at her differently, "In my heart, she is different from others, and I have to be like this."

"Then the person you can trap her can also trap her heart?" Seeing that the emperor was not as resistant to her as before, Zhen Cairen boldly continued to persuade her.

Duan Zhaoling lay down slowly, staring at the sky, "Even if you really can't keep her heart, at least you have to keep her people."

The spring hunting was coming to an end, and one day before returning to the palace, he practiced for King Changle in Qiugeyuan, so he set off directly to Monan instead of going back to the imperial city.

After a few days of recuperation, Duan Zhaoling's complexion improved, and when the ministers feasted at court, they were refreshed and radiant.

It's just that in private, the pills prescribed by the imperial physician must be taken on time every day without delay.

Everyone gathered together, except for the figure of Concubine Yan.

Duan Zhaoling sent Yuke to invite her quickly, and she came to report after a while, saying that the imperial concubine's phoenix body was out of harmony and it was inconvenient to attend the banquet.

Concubine Yan was still riding a horse and shooting arrows a few days ago, why she suddenly became ill and couldn't come, which aroused speculation.

In fact, it has been two days in a row, Duan Zhaoling announced to her, she always has various excuses to refuse.

When I went to see her, she was also cold and indifferent, and there was no scorn in the etiquette, but the more respectful Duan Zhaoling felt, the further away she was from her. That feeling was even more flustering than her losing her temper. .

He considers himself not a person who is blindly obsessed with women, even if the harem is like a cloud, he only pampers him, and Su Yan has obviously broken through his bottom line time and time again.

In front of all the officials, Duan Zhaoling still maintained a generous posture, endured his irritability, and ordered Yuke to send some nourishing soup to the imperial concubine's palace, so as to support her fertility.

In my heart, I can't wait to find her immediately and ask the reason.

So absent-minded.

"My brother's farewell is to assist General Fuyuan to stabilize the border. The date of return is uncertain. I also hope that the emperor will take care of the dragon body." King Changle raised the wine bottle with one arm. His words were simple, but it was also an explanation to all the officials.

The implication is not only to express the determination to be loyal to the country even though there is no military amulet on him, but also to condescend to others, willing to assist Ning Wenyuan, so that the emperor can rest assured.

In this way, he can go back in a grand manner without being restrained by the emperor.

As long as he leaves Gyeonggi, King Changle will have other plans.

Will be outside, the king's life will not be affected.

But now that the court is divided into different forces, he has a lot of contacts, and it is definitely not a day's work.

Duan Zhaoling naturally showed the emperor's demeanor, had a drink with him, and ordered the palace servants to take the big gift given to Yusu, and taught him to take it back with him.

"Since the imperial brother will be a father, I, as an elder brother, naturally cannot let you go to the battlefield to die and die. Thousands of miles away, I can only express my heart, and I hope that the imperial brother will not blame me for being a brother. Waiting for Yusu to give birth After that, I will send someone to take their mother and child back to the capital to take care of them, and they will not suffer from the frontier." Duan Zhaoling expressed his sincerity, and King Changle nodded in response.

Congratulations are second to this pun, and the most important thing is to shake the mountain and shake the tiger, implying that he is not in the military power, otherwise Yusu mother and son will be the protons under house arrest in the capital in the future!

Tit for tat, hiding a knife in a smile.

Suddenly I heard the report from the palace people outside the palace, "The imperial concubine has arrived."

The king of Changle slowly poured the strong wine in the cup into his throat, looked up, the rings jingled, the fragrance of orchids, and the splendid palace dress bloomed like lotus, swaying into the gate of the palace.

Rolling up the fragrance bursts, bright and incomparable, instantly filled the palace with fragrance, touching the hearts of all men.

"My beloved concubine is not feeling well, why is it difficult to give birth and recuperate? It makes me worry." Duan Zhaoling got up to greet her. From the first moment she entered the palace, he felt that all his senses were being affected, and he could no longer see other people in his eyes and heart. things.

Su Yan nodded and smiled, let him lead her into the dragon seat together.

"King Changle is about to bid farewell. As the emperor's wife, how can I not come to see him off?" As she spoke, she rushed to the next seat, King Changle, with a smile on her face, her voice was soft, just like her pair of delicate hands, reaching in. Chest, tease gently.

Although what she said was correct, the situation in front of her was weird and tight.

It seems that it is not so simple.

Duan Zhaoling was a little displeased, and reached out to cover the wine glass for her, "My concubine is not suitable for drinking, the emperor will accept your wishes."

However, Su Yan broke away from his embrace, shook her head and said, "Your brother is a warrior on the battlefield, how can you express your sincerity by only saying some polite and sour words. Today, this cup of wine, I will definitely respect him."

"Don't be willful." Duan Zhaoling tried his best to maintain his demeanor, and Su Yan had already left him and walked down step by step.

The King of Changle was waiting for his time, watching her quietly.

Su Yan walked up to his case and raised her glass, as if to invite her, "I don't drink alcohol lightly, and my brother must drink a big cup."

The king of Changle poured the wine, raised his head, drank it all, and then poured down the wine bottle, a drop of wine fell on the table.

"For this second cup, I wish my siblings, mother and child well-being." Su Yan still did not leave.

Changle Wang raised his eyebrows and smiled, and drank it down again.

"This third cup..." Su Yan insisted on drinking it, but she heard King Changle whisper, "There is no rush at this moment."

Duan Zhaoling embraced her, grabbed the wine glass, "I will respect you for her."

Su Yan circled between the two of them, looking coldly at the other's gloomy expression, she felt comfortable and indescribably gratified.

"The banquet is over, all lovers go back to the palace to rest, and we will go hunting again in the evening." Duan Zhaoling took Su Yan's hand and went to the inner room.

Yuke closed the palace door and stepped back.

There was a star in Duan Zhaoling's eyes, just now when he saw her getting close to King Changle, his heart felt like a needle prick, wishing he could pull her back and lock her up, so that no man could covet her again.

Su Yan didn't actually drink alcohol, she was just putting on a show, and now that there was no one there, she put away her expression and said, "Since His Majesty wants to rest, I won't bother you."

"From now on, you can only stay by my side," he pulled Su Yan back, "After returning to the palace, I will move the bedroom to Yilan Palace."

"Does Your Majesty mean that the court also brought concubines?" Su Yan sarcastically.

Duan Zhaoling stared at her closely, "If necessary, I will definitely put on a pair of shackles. When I go to court, I will lock you in the palace and you will not be allowed to go anywhere!"

The words were originally stern, but after she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly softened, clearly showing some tenderness.

Su Yan was actually testing his bottom line and taking revenge on him.

He keeps saying that he can't do without himself, so let's see how he can give his so-called grace.

Yu Jia returned to court, but the Six Palaces became empty.

The first thing the emperor did after returning to the palace was to vacate the main hall of the Yilan Palace and use it as the Qinzheng Hall. This move undoubtedly declared that Concubine Yan would stand out from the crowd and monopolize the favor.

The second thing was to go to Cuizhi Palace where Concubine Shu lived.

The palace people secretly lamented that His Majesty is considered a long-term lover, and it is no small favor to receive His Majesty's pity and miss after Concubine Shu is gone.

Su Yan ignored his various actions, and now no matter how good she was, she couldn't make up for the harm she had done to her.

What she cares about now is whether Jingwen's position is stable enough to ascend to the throne smoothly.

Although Lan Zhaoyi is not favored now, it does not mean that her Shangguan family has no plans behind it.

The longer the delay, the greater the variables!

"The emperor has been staying in Cuizhi Palace since the morning court. Even the dinner is useless, and he hasn't come back yet." Sang Yu came in to report, while Su Yan was tutoring Jingwen's homework, giving some pointers from time to time.

The mother and son were harmonious and harmonious, and Sang Yu felt that the queen was still alive, and nothing more.

Su Yan didn't even raise her head, she said, "Understood, serving His Majesty is Yuke and the others' affairs, so you don't have to worry about it."

I buried my head in the book without getting tired, and in a blink of an eye, it was already late at night.

Su Yan closed the books for him and tidied them all up, "Jing'er is getting better and better now, the godmother is really happy."

Jing Wen shook Su Yan's hand, "I have always remembered the words of my mother and concubine, if you want to become the crown prince, you must set an example for the world, and you must not lose to anyone."

"Very good." Su Yan kissed him lightly on the forehead, "Set it up, I will teach the little kitchen to make your favorite soup tomorrow morning."

Jing Wen was about to push the door, but someone opened it from the outside.

"My son has seen the father." Jingwen saluted politely, Duan Zhaoling stared at him as if in a daze, and only after a long time reached out to stroke his hair.

Jingwen was puzzled, so he looked at Su Yan.In his memory, his father had never been so close to him, and he was very strict every time he checked his homework.

He naturally understood the good intentions behind his father's sternness, but why was he so abnormal tonight?
"Your Majesty, Jing'er has been tired all day, teach him to go down and rest." Su Yan still had to maintain a gentle demeanor in front of Jingwen, not wanting the entanglement between them to affect her son.

Duan Zhaoling suddenly squatted down, level with Jingwen, "From now on, father will come to accompany Jinger to study every day, okay?"

"You take care of everything every day, and my son doesn't want every day, as long as the father thinks about my son in his heart." Jing Wen said every word.

Su Yan changed her mind, then took advantage of the situation and said, "Since Your Majesty has the heart, why not teach Jing'er to read in the side hall of the Qinzheng Hall every night, and you can also teach him while you are dealing with the memorials. Tutors can't teach it."

The implication of Su Yan's words was to ask Jingwen to formally contact the political leaders, and to take him a big step further on the road to becoming a crown prince.

If he can participate in the court performance in the future, then the position of the prince will be more stable, and it will be difficult to shake over time.

"Okay, I will do as you said, and I will teach Wang Zhongming to do it tomorrow."

After Jingwen left, Su Yan was still busy arranging the books, Duan Zhaoling walked over, grabbed her, turned her body, and looked at him.

Seeing the mist in his eyes, Su Yan seemed to have an illusion, as if she saw tears.

"From now on, I will never be separated from your mother and son again, okay?"

Su Yan let him hug her, she didn't want to say anything, neither refused nor agreed.

"Yan'er, I owe you too much..." He hugged her a little tighter.

Su Yan gradually froze. This sentence was obviously not addressed to "Su Yan". This Yan'er was clearly referring to herself!

Cuizhi Palace...is Concubine Shu, she must have left important evidence in the palace!

At this moment, Duan Zhaoling doesn't want to distinguish anything, he only knows that he can't let go, and in this life, he can't make another mistake.

Everything is no longer pursued.

In the silent atmosphere, neither of them could see the other's expression.

Yuke's voice sounded from outside the hall without losing the opportunity, "Your Majesty, Lan Zhaoyi sent someone to see you."

Duan Zhaoling rested on Su Yan's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "I won't see anyone tonight."

After a pause, Yu Ke said again, "It's His Royal Highness the Second Prince who has a fever in the middle of the night, please go and have a look."

"Just ask the imperial physician to go over there." Duan Zhaoling still didn't intend to leave.

Su Yan said, "If there is any difference between the second prince in the future, I'm afraid Lan Zhaoyi will be counted on the head of my concubine."

Only then did Duan Zhaoling let go of her and took her hand, "Then you go with me."
