Empress with no Virtue Chapter 36: Reconciliation
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Queen Wude!
Ji Wu Jiu shamelessly followed Ye Zhenzhen all the way to Kunning Palace.
He is not good at coaxing women, and when he coaxes, he usually talks frivolous words. Now facing the angry Ye Zhenzhen, he doesn't know what to do. The explanation has already been said, and since he is a man of few words, he doesn't intend to repeat it.
The atmosphere was very awkward for a while.
Ye Zhenzhen was very tired and climbed into bed early to sleep. Ji Wu Jiu sat at the table with his eyebrows lowered in thought.
There are two questions about this matter today. First, why did the Queen Mother appear at Yinghua Hall on time? Secondly, who used the Nine Dragon Pendant to pretend to convey the imperial edict and deceive Lu Li?
The first point is easier to figure out. There must be something the Queen Mother did here. So she ordered someone to steal the Nine Dragon Pendant and pretend to pass on the imperial edict? It's unlikely - as long as Lu Li takes out the Nine Dragon Pendant on the spot, the misunderstanding can be clarified. This doesn't seem like a method that can be used to frame people.
Moreover, when the Queen Mother ordered people to search Lu Li's body, she seemed to be determined to get it?
After putting these doubts together and thinking about it, Ji Wu Jiu came up with a general idea: The Queen Mother must have had someone fake her edict, but the fake edict was not the imperial edict, but the Queen's edict, and the person who used it was Ye Zhenzhen. of tokens. But what she didn't expect was that Lu Li discovered the conspiracy in time and replaced Ye Zhenzhen's belongings with the Nine Dragon Pendant, turning himself into a guest.
I have to say that this bastard's logical thinking is too advanced. If he were not the emperor, but a head catcher or something, he would definitely be very popular.
In this way, the Nine Dragon Pendant might have been stolen by Lu Li, or it might have been stolen to Lu Li by a slave of the Qianqing Palace. No matter which possibility it is, the servants of Qianqing Palace should be replaced.
When he thought of Lu Li secretly taking the Nine Dragon Pendant and telling such big lies, Ji Wu Jiu's first reaction was not to be angry, but to be grateful. The depression in his chest immediately dissipated a lot, and he decided to pretend to be stupid this time and not punish Lu Li's crime. However, then he thought about how the Queen Mother had framed her daughter-in-law by cuckolding her own son, and he slammed the table heavily in anger.
Although he plans to be a dutiful son as much as possible, it does not mean that he can let the Queen Mother control him.
The people who were already asleep in the tent seemed to be disturbed by this, and they snorted uncomfortably.
Ji Wu Jiu relaxed his hands and feet, took off his coat and climbed onto the bed, got under the quilt, pulled Ye Zhen Zhen into his arms and hugged her tightly.
As if he suddenly felt at ease, he let out a long breath.
Gently rubbing his chin against Ye Zhen Zhen's neck, Ji Wu Jiu whispered in her ear, "You know, I'm really afraid that it's true."
What answered him was the steady breathing of the other party.
"Fortunately not." He said again.
***
The next afternoon, Ye Zhenzhen heard that a young **** was hanged near Meishe. The Queen Mother asked Commander Lu to identify whether he was the person who falsely preached the imperial edict.
"Is that true or not?" Ye Zhenzhen asked Su Yue. She did not go to the scene, but Wang Youcai went to communicate with Lu Li in time.
"Yes and no." Wang Youcai replied.
"Oh?" Ye Zhenzhen put down the tea bowl, a little strange, "How do you say it?"
Wang Youcai lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, it's like this. Commander Lu asked me to ask you if there is anyone you want to take care of."
Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes and smiled, "My cousin is so thoughtful."
The Queen Mother wanted to kill someone and silence her, so the **** who was hanged must have been pretending to pass on the imperial decree or some other decree. But since there was only one witness, Lu Li, so if he said yes, it was yes, and if he said no, it was no.
If he denies it, arrest someone else to identify him...
Lu Li has been walking in the harem for several years, and he sees many things more clearly than Ye Zhenzhen. The battles in the palace were no less cruel and vicious than the battles in the temples. Few women who can reach high positions in the harem are pure and innocent. As for the slaves who were wiped out in ashes due to the struggle of the superiors, they are countless and cannot be sympathized with. Lu Li didn't want to get involved in the women's fight, but for Ye Zhenzhen, he was willing to make an exception and do it.
Ye Zhenzhen also became somewhat enlightened through this incident. If her cousin hadn't taken her by surprise last night, she would have really suffered a big loss. She reflected on it and realized that she had indeed been too careless. In the past, no one would do anything to her if she acted willfully in her natal family, but now that she is in a harem full of thorns, acting like this again is tantamount to seeking death. She had known before that the harem was full of dangers, but those were superficial impressions and not specific enough. In addition, she had saved the day several times before, which made her a little careless and even a little conceited. What happened yesterday was like a wake-up call, making her truly and deeply aware of the cruelty of harem fighting, and also made her realize that her carelessness could lead to death, or even affect her relatives.
These thoughts gave her an unprecedented dislike of the harem.
But disgust is disgust, and reality still has to be faced. She cannot die, let alone be crippled. She had to be more cautious than usual and take every step carefully. She wanted to live well and live gloriously. Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself that she really hoped to be able to leave this place of right and wrong in her lifetime. However, this wish is too illusory and is simply wishful thinking.
To be honest, sometimes she really wanted to tie up all the troublemaking women in the harem and throw them out to feed the pigs.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Wang Youcai called out when he saw Ye Zhenzhen in a daze.
Ye Zhenzhen came to her senses and said, "Go and tell Commander Lu, I'll take care of him, but I can take care of whoever wants to take care of it myself, so he must not interfere."
Lu Li was just the commander of the guards. If he got involved in a harem fight, many people would be a thorn in his side. She didn't want her cousin to get involved in trouble.
She wants to take revenge personally for this matter. Although the Queen Mother cannot be touched for the time being, it is still possible to teach her soldiers and generals a lesson.
In the evening, Ji Wu Jiu came a little earlier than usual. He stopped the announcement from outsiders and walked directly into the Nuan Pavilion. When he saw Ye Zhenzhen sitting in front of the lamp in a daze, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
When Ye Zhenzhen saw him, she stood up and said, "Your Majesty." Her face was light.
Ji Wu Jiu knew that she was still worried about what happened yesterday, and he didn't know how to comfort her. Besides, he was also a little angry, because she was always angry with him.
Ji Wu Jiu sat on the other side of the table, casually picked up the "Yin Yang Sutra" on the table and flipped through it. The internal energy routines described in it were ordinary, and he probably bought them from a bookstore outside. Such a book is only half a tael of silver a piece, and it even talks about a secret book. This woman must have been deceived.
Ye Zhenzhen suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, can you tell me, apart from the Queen Mother, was there anyone else who was responsible for yesterday's incident?"
Ji Wu Jiu sold Xu Cairen without any hesitation, "There is also Xu Cairen. She and the Queen Mother sang a double act in front of me, and I misunderstood their slander." By the way, shamelessly Pick yourself out.
Ye Zhenzhen nodded and secretly decided to take care of Xu Cairen this time.
Actually, even if Ye Zhenzhen didn't move Xu Cairen, Ji Wu Jiu would still plan to teach her a lesson. He had always had a brother-sister relationship with Xu Cairen before. Although he did not touch her body, he planned to slowly promote her to a higher position so that she could settle down in the harem. But this time she really touched his nerves, slandered the queen, cuckolded the emperor, and instigated the queen mother to do some dirty tricks... Did she really think that she was the only one who could play tricks and everyone else was a fool?
Ye Zhenzhen saw Ji Wu Jiu's face gradually getting a hint of ferocity, and didn't know what evil he was holding back. She was very bored with him now, so she ignored him and went to bed.
Unexpectedly, Ji Wu Jiu quickly came over and hugged her tightly, his limbs almost wrapped around her body.
Ye Zhenzhen was very uncomfortable and struggled for a while, but he refused to let go. Finally, he whispered in her ear, "Stop making trouble and go to sleep."
Ye Zhenzhen was very speechless, but since she couldn't get away, she accepted it casually, yawned and fell asleep quickly. Because he held her so tightly, she didn't sleep peacefully. There always seemed to be a glimmer of consciousness, holding her indistinctly like a thread. In the middle of the night, she woke up a little from the heat, but she didn't wake up completely. While half asleep and half awake, she felt something hard against her leg, which made her very uncomfortable. She subconsciously reached out and pushed it twice, but the thing couldn't be pushed away no matter how hard she tried, so she just held it tight. Pull it to the side hard.
Ji Wu Jiu’s screams suddenly sounded in his ears.
Ye Zhenzhen thought she was having a nightmare, and it took her a while to wake up. She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and saw Ji Wu Jiu lying on his side and curling up, covering his crotch with his hands, humming in pain, with veins popping out on his forehead.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Zhenzhen asked.
"..." Ji Wu Jiu's psychological activities are very complicated, and it is difficult to describe them in words.
Ye Zhenzhen saw that he was not looking good, so she opened the curtain and shouted outside, "Come here, call the imperial doctor quickly!"
The imperial doctor on duty was stunned by the cold wind, and was completely awake when he arrived at Kunning Palace. When he saw Ji Wu Jiu's injuries, he was startled. He lowered his head and rolled his eyes around. He was extremely curious, what on earth were the emperor and empress playing...
The imperial doctor tried hard not to let Ji Wujiu discover his mental activities. He treated him with a straight face and prescribed some ointment. Finally, he invited Ye Zhenzhen from outside and told them, "Please Your Majesty, please rest for a few days. Please refrain from sexual **** during these days. Also...be more gentle next time."
Ye Zhenzhen had already discovered that she was the culprit. When she heard the doctor's orders, she nodded very seriously.
Ji Wu Jiu doubted whether she understood this sentence.
After the imperial doctor left, Ji Wu Jiu's pain had eased a lot. He had just shed a layer of sweat from the pain, and the sweat on his forehead had not yet completely subsided. Ye Zhenzhen knelt down on the bed worried and ashamed, lowering her head to wipe his sweat.
When Ji Wu Jiu saw Ye Zhen Zhen acting like this, he inexplicably felt as if his heart had been soaked in warm spring water, making it very hot and comfortable.
"Does it still hurt?" Ye Zhenzhen asked carefully.
"It hurts." Ji Wu Jiu replied in a deliberately muffled voice, with a very painful expression on his face and a slight breath of cold air in his mouth.
Ye Zhenzhen felt even more guilty, "I'm sorry... I really didn't mean it."
Ji Wu Jiu half-closed his eyes and stared at her. His eyes were very bright, exuding a warm and soft light, but she didn't see it. She wiped his forehead with the handkerchief, and then moved it down to the side of his face.
He suddenly grabbed her hand.
"What's wrong?" Ye Zhenzhen twitched her hand, but it didn't even move.
Ji Wu Jiu pulled hard, but Ye Zhen Zhen couldn't react in time and fell into his arms. He held her tightly with both hands, holding her down and not allowing her to move.
"Zhen Zhen, don't be angry." Ji Wu Jiu's voice sounded on the top of Ye Zhen Zhen's head, probably because of the pain just now, his voice was slightly hoarse now.
Ye Zhenzhen lay on his chest and did not answer, just nodded slightly. Her chin hit his chest twice, not with much force, but it made his chest feel hot again.
The blow was worth it, Ji Wu Jiu thought to himself.
Although, it really hurts...
