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

After Lu Lingchuan left last night, Shen Yao didn't sleep well all night.

She honestly resisted giving him another chance.

That meant that this guy would keep appearing next to her, but it became increasingly difficult for her to find excuses to escape.

After waking up, I lay on the couch in a dull mood. Outside the window, it was dark, and I couldn't hear the chirping of summer cicadas and birds in the past. Muffled thunder rolled across the sky in the distance, and gusts of dark wind whizzed in through the window lattice.

Since there was no need to go to say hello, Shen Yao turned over and closed her eyes again.

She was wondering whether she should pretend to be sick to avoid Lu Lingchuan after waking up.

When I woke up again, it was already afternoon.

There was heavy rain outside the window, and the sounds of wind and rain were intertwined.

Half of the ice had already been removed from the room, and incense to ward off coldness and dampness was lit in the gilt bronze cauldron of Little Beast. The fragrant mist lingers, and combined with the humidity of the rainy day, the room is filled with an incomprehensible haze.

Shen Yao opened the box and rummaged around, "Chun Nong, did you see a small white jade porcelain bottle?"

The red pill inside makes people feel dizzy and drowsy after taking one. People who take three pills may suffer from febrile convulsions.

Shen Yao meant that if she ate half a pill every day, Lu Lingchuan would soon lose interest in her who was so sick.

Thinking of the last time he took this medicine, it was just to pretend to be sick and make him feel distressed.

Seeing Shen Yao stop rummaging through the box and he was lost in thought, Chun Nong put down the needle and thread in his hand and moved over.

"You put it here clearly last time?" Chun Nong was also puzzled and said, "You go to eat first, and I will rummage through each box for you later."

The emperor's meal was sent to the imperial dining room early.

Seeing the imperial concubine stand up, Xiao Xizi and Xia He took out dishes of various sizes from the red lacquer food boxes.

Xiao Xizi said happily——

"Master just sent someone to tell His Majesty that Your Majesty has a lot of political affairs today, so he won't be accompanying the Queen for lunch. He will come over after he is done with his work."

Steamed dragon scallop meat, cherry pigeon in honey sauce, mountain mushrooms with scallion oil,... and a small pot of green plum wine.

More than a dozen dishes were spread all over the Eight Immortals table.

Judging from the dishes and portions, Lu Lingchuan shared half of his imperial meal.

She picked up a piece of dragon meat with chopsticks and put it into her throat, and took another sip of wine. Shen Yao remembered that once upon a time, she and Lu Lingchuan also had such a peaceful time sitting opposite each other.

Now, time has changed and things have changed, which is even more regrettable.

"Mother, it's not good."

A sharp, thin voice broke the dull thoughts.

"Teacher Shen had a quarrel with the Minister of War in the Qinzheng Palace this morning, and now he is kneeling at the door of His Majesty's South Study."

"Eunuch Wang asked the servant to invite the queen to come over!"

There was a "pop" sound,

The chopsticks in Shen Yao's hand fell to the ground along with the meat on the belly of the dragon fish.

She lifted up her skirt and ran towards Xingning Palace.

The little eunuch hurriedly followed her with a yellow parasol high in the air, shouting, "Mother, please slow down, slow down!"

Along the palace road, the slanting rain wet her shoulders. Shen Yao arrived at Xingning Palace in only half the time that usually took half an hour.

Ignoring the water that fell off her skirt, she walked through the corridor and headed to the south study.

In the distance, Lu Lingchuan's roar could be heard.

"Master, why do you have to force me!"

Shen Yao hurriedly ran to the yard and saw her father, wearing a bright red crew-neck shirt, bending his back and kneeling in the yard.

The heavy rain was so heavy that Shen Feng was soaked all over.

Lu Lingchuan was also standing in the rain. Wang Dafu was holding an umbrella as he stepped forward, but he kicked him away.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

Shen Yao hurriedly saluted Lu Lingchuan, and then went to grab her father.

"Yao'er!"

As soon as Lu Lingchuan saw her, his face instantly turned pale, "Slave dog, who told you to alarm the imperial concubine!"

Wang Dafu's legs trembled, he knelt down straight, and slapped his ears and scratches on his face.

"Daddy, get up quickly."

While Shen Yao supported Shen Feng, she looked at Lu Lingchuan doubtfully with her big eyes full of moisture.

Since this guy showed that he wanted to rebuild the old relationship with her, shouldn't he be gentle towards her father?

"Your Majesty, I just ask that your Majesty remember the oath he made when he asked to marry Yao'er."

Shen Feng pulled Shen Yao to kneel with him.

"Your Majesty, please depose the imperial concubine and return her to the Shen family. And the old minister will also report to your Majesty."

"I will keep my little girl in the Shen Mansion and will not let her do anything that will bring shame to the royal family."

Shen Yao was stunned.

She remembered that the last night when the Changxin Palace was burned down, her father had mentioned that Lu Lingchuan had made a private promise to her father in the past. If he disliked her, he would give her and Li Shu.

Yesterday, the Dog Emperor was still pretending to be affectionate, but what happened today?

"Taifu, you and Yao'er get up first." Lu Lingchuan's eyes contained complex emotions and fell heavily on Shen Yao.

"Your Majesty will not let my daughter out of the palace, and I will not get up."

Shen Feng said stubbornly.

"There is no need to say anything, Taifu. She is my woman, and there is absolutely no reason to leave the palace!"

Lu Lingchuan's face was determined. He took a step forward and forcibly pulled Shen Yao up, "Yao'er, I will send someone to take you back to Changxin Palace."

He scolded Wang Dafu again, "Why don't you go help the master?"

"Your Majesty, what is going on with all this?"

Shen Yao, who was dripping wet, was taken into the arms of Lu Lingchuan, who was also dripping wet.

"Yao'er, no matter what, I won't allow you to leave." Lu Lingchuan said warmly.

He also ordered someone to take his cloak to the imperial concubine, and told Shen Yao, "Go back first, soak in hot water and drink some ginger soup."

Lu Lingchuan ordered loudly, "Wang Dafu, order someone to send the concubine back to the palace."

Shen Yao struggled and wanted to see his father.

As the emperor's master, Shen Feng has always been proud and upright, and he has always been outspoken in admonishing the emperor.

She had never seen her father bend his back and speak down in front of Lu Lingchuan.

But this matter is related to her.

Lu Lingchuan decisively wrapped Shen Yao in his big cloak, picked her up horizontally, and stuffed her directly into the sedan chair.

"Send the imperial concubine back to Changxin Palace and order Xia Huaibei to send someone to guard her. The imperial concubine is not allowed to run around!"

"Get up the sedan!"

After a long shout.

The eunuch carrying the chariot walked swiftly in the rain. Shen Yao kicked the sedan door bitterly.

Thinking that Lu Lingchuan was coming in the evening, she thought that she would have to ask everything clearly then.

Returning to Changxin Palace, wiping the water from her hair and changing her clothes, for Shen Yao, every minute and every second was torture.

A huge column of imperial guards guarded the entrance of Changxin Palace. If no one could get out, no news could come in.

I craned my neck to wait, and finally waited until the Youshi hour had passed. Slowly the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, and a young eunuch in green clothes came running from the verandah.

Behind him were three or four eunuchs carrying lunch boxes in their hands.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty asked your servant to deliver the message. He wants to discuss politics with you all tonight, so he won't be able to come over for the time being."

"Big liar!" Dog Emperor! Shen Yao cursed in his heart.

"Your Majesty also reassures the Queen, Mrs. Shen has returned home at noon."

The little eunuch said loudly again.

"Hmph! Take all these meals back, and ask His Majesty when he withdrew the guarding imperial troops?"

Shen Yao said arrogantly, turned around and went to the inner hall.

There was a cool breeze in the night, and Shen Yao was sitting in the courtyard holding a small pot of green plum wine and drinking.

She was slightly drunk. Chun Nong and Xia He came to help her several times, but she turned away.

Shen Yao stumbled up while carrying the wine bottle, and fell down on the stone pier in the courtyard.

"Mother, are you okay?"

A forbidden soldier with handsome features took a few steps quickly, gave her a hand, and asked warmly.

Shen Yao looked at it with moist eyes and shouted in confusion, "Master Xue Xiaohou!"
