Rebirth: The imperial concubine is no longer jealous, and the emperor panics

Chapter 16: The person next to you is not the person you love.

Shen Yao felt refreshed when she went out, but when she returned to Changxin Palace, her whole body was wet and cold, which shocked everyone.

Xia He fetched dry clothes, and Xiao Xizi quickly went to light up the fire, and soon had hot water ready.

After struggling for a while, Shen Yao felt exhausted all over as soon as she stepped into the bathtub.

She soaked in the hot water and fell asleep directly.

Chun Nong came in with ginger soup, woke her up quietly, and watched her drink a bowl full of brown sugar ginger water.

"Mother, please don't catch a cold." Chun Nong couldn't suppress the worry in her heart.

Shen Yao raised the corner of her lips, "You feed me the ginseng chicken soup every day, I won't drink it that easily!"

The hot water warms the body, and the ginger soup warms the stomach. Shen Yao's cold body gradually feels warm. And the chaotic brain slowly regained consciousness.

The encounters in Mingyue Tower flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern.

When she thought of being hugged and kissed by Lu Lingchuan today, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Not only that, the emperor didn't succeed, and actually used the Queen Mother's hand to ground her and fine her. It was simply unreasonable!

Shen Yao's teeth were itching with hatred, but she could only kick out a few splashes with her feet.

After soaking in hot water for a long time, she secretly made up her mind.

Lu Lingchuan is a tiger, while Bai Wanzhu and the Queen Mother are wolves.

If she continued to sit there and wait for death, she would be eaten to the point where no bones would be left.

Facing the vague hatred in Shen Yao's eyes, Chun Nong sighed, and there was nothing he could do about her stubbornness.

I could only vaguely complain and say, "Oh, that's Your Majesty! My little ancestor, how can you be so angry?"

Shen Yao licked her lips, "That's natural, this dog... ugh!"

Before he could finish cursing, Chun Nong reached out to cover his mouth.

"Empress, I must be fair to you. Your Majesty is not your fault for what happened today. You did what you did to him, but he didn't even punish you. The queen wanted to demote you, but it was your majesty who protected you."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Yao covered her face.

Why did she do that to him?

Why are these words so ambiguous!

When she was escaping, she was too strong and knocked the emperor into the water.

However, what Chun Nong said simply triggered the imagination of uninformed people.

It was obviously Lu Lingchuan who wanted to treat her like this!

"According to your wishes, I still want to thank him!" Shen Yao curled her lips disdainfully.

"It's not like you're doing anything unnecessary today. If you didn't want me to meet the emperor by chance, how could so many troubles have arisen?"

Chun Nong now understands it. My master really doesn't want to get close to the emperor.

She gathered her skirt and knelt in front of Shen Yao, touching her head to the ground.

"Your Majesty, please punish me."

Shen Yao looked over confusedly, and after understanding, her eyes darkened.

"Chun Nong, you should understand what I mean now, right?"

Seeing her nodding, Shen Yao added, "There are many things in this world, and the original intentions are good. I also know how you feel about me. I won't blame you."

After marrying Lu Lingchuan, Shen Yao caused many unpleasant things because of jealousy because there were too many women in the harem.

Nowadays, the confinement is good. You don't have to get up early every day to pay respects to the Queen and the Queen Mother.

The confinement also meant that she could continue to live a long life without leaving the palace and staying away from Lu Lingchuan.

Here, she doesn't have to carry the majesty of a noble concubine, wear a head full of pearls and green hairpins that make people's neck hurt, and she doesn't have to feel heartbroken because another woman approaches Lu Lingchuan.

She grew flowers, raised fish, read, and embroidered.

She whispered, "From now on, let's stay in Changxin Palace and live a good life. In the palace, the largest and most gorgeous cage, I now have a free world."

Then he ordered, "Today, Wang Dafu is scolded by the Queen Mother, please quietly ask Xiao Xizi to deliver the best golden sore medicine in his name."

"The Queen Mother even beats the people around Her Majesty, alas..."

Chun Nong understood better why Shen Yao wanted to stay away from the emperor.

Shen Yao stood up from the bathtub, wiped off the water drops on her body, and then put on her pajamas.

Chun Nong quickly fetched a white cotton handkerchief, wrung out the water droplets from her long hair, and used a osmanthus-burning incense burner to dry her hair.

When her long hair was half dry, she sat in front of the dressing table and simply tied up her long hair. The snake bun was only fixed with simple white jade hairpins.

The beauty in the water chestnut mirror is as beautiful as a flower, youthful and elegant, without any sign of old age or decline.

Through the window sill, you can vaguely see the flower shelves covered with roses of various colors. The golden rays of the setting sun filled the courtyard of the front hall of Changxin Palace.

She walked out of the palace door and sat on the swing.

The evening breeze stirred up her black hair like splashing ink. Her toes were touching the ground, and her body was dangling gracefully on the swing.

The whole person felt comfortable again.

Xiao Xizi called from a distance, "Mother, the chief physician of the Taiyuan Hospital, Chen Taiyi, is here to take your pulse on His Majesty's order..."

Shen Yao gently combed her long hair with a mahogany comb, "Then please come in."

She turned around and entered the room, sitting down on the rosewood armchair.

Lu Lingchuan sent her an imperial doctor, and she accepted it with a smile. Naturally, she had to take good care of herself. After all, she wants to live until the day she becomes a concubine.

After taking Shen Yao's pulse, Imperial Physician Chen prescribed a few prescriptions to dispel the cold, and then went to report to the emperor in person.

Lu Lingchuan was currently in Fengzao Palace.

Today is the first night when the Queen returns to the palace. If he is not by the Queen's side, then the rumors that the Emperor and the Queen are not getting along and that they are not favored in the palace will definitely permeate the palace and the harem.

If that's the case, I don't know how many troubles will arise.

Therefore, after Lu Lingchuan left Mingyue Tower and reviewed the memorial, he would rush over to have dinner with Wang Yunling.

This is something the emperor cannot help but do.

After Doctor Chen resigned, Wang Yunling could clearly feel that the emperor's tight strings had relaxed.

"Sister Shen is in good health, Your Majesty can rest assured."

Wang Yunling personally served a bowl of soup for Lu Lingchuan, "This soup has been simmered with lotus seeds, yam and dragon bones all afternoon. It is the best for nourishing the heart and moisturizing the dryness."

"The Queen is interested."

Lu Lingchuan patted her hand, took a few sips of soup, and then put down the bowl.

After dinner, Wang Yunling took the stretcher and embroidered a picture of two dragons playing with a pearl with gold and silver silk.

The sachet on Lu Lingchuan's waist was a bit old, and the mandarin ducks on it were not exquisite, just like a pair of wild ducks. She was going to embroider a sachet to give to him.

Lu Lingchuan was leaning on the pillow, flipping through a book.

After the drumming sound passed, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the night wind brought the fragrant fragrance of the flowers in the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest."

Wang Yunling said expectantly. Seeing the emperor nod, she waved away the palace maids and eunuchs, took the robe that Lu Lingchuan had taken off, and helped him wash up without any hesitation.

The closer she got to him, the faster her heart beat.

The palace attendants extinguished their lamps and retreated one by one.

Wang Yunling lay down next to Lu Lingchuan. Both of them were wearing snow-white silk clothes, lying on the same bed and covered with the same quilt.

"Your Majesty." Wang Yunling called softly. Seeing that the people around her didn't move for a long time, her heart was hanging in the air.

"I'm tired. Queen, please go to sleep."

In the darkness, a man's cold and melodious voice sounded.

Wang Yunling's full expectations were gradually shattered.

There was a bit of sourness in the corners of her eyes. Who would have thought that the queen of the Xihe Dynasty was still a virgin. After being married to the emperor for five years, he never touched her. He only stayed with her on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month according to ancestral rules.

"Your Majesty, I want to have a child that belongs to us." She said softly.

Lu Lingchuan turned his back, closed his eyes, and pretended not to hear.

"Your Majesty, the Queen of Zichen Palace was heartbroken in the middle of the night and sent someone to invite your Majesty!"

A high-pitched voice sounded quietly and suddenly.

Lu Lingchuan suddenly turned over and sat up. He was panicking and shouted to the outside of the hall, "Wang Dafu, change my clothes."

A pair of delicate and thin hands held him tightly. Wang Yunling had rare courage.

"Your Majesty, it is not Sister Shen who lives there now. Tonight, Your Majesty, please remember our many years of love as husband and wife and stay with me."

Wang Yunling felt helpless sadness.

This Bai Wanzhu. Why did she think that she could imitate the concubine's pretense of illness and invite the emperor away in the middle of the night?

"You are the queen. These concubines who disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night and have no rules should be dealt with according to the law. Remember, just like you enforce the law impartially and punish the concubines today!"

Lu Lingchuan gritted his teeth and said, "Fengzao Palace is too noisy, I'd better go back to Xingning Palace to cleanse myself!"
