Chapter 516 Favoring the Virtuous Concubine
Lu Shian got out of bed and stretched his arms and legs: "Well, I understand."
It’s impossible to call the servants over at this late hour.
Lu Shian ate something and his mind became unusually clear.
"Lu'er, bring me a cloak."
"My lady, you need to go out."
"Well, I want to go out for a walk."
"My lady, you have just come out of confinement, so you'd better not move around."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
At that time, snowflakes began to fall outside again, and Lu Shian thought of the plum garden. The plum blossoms there were really beautiful.
After returning from Ganquan Palace, Li Hongting did not go to Qin Jingzhi, but was kidnapped by Jin Jieyu's maid, Liuzhu.
When they arrived at Yufu Palace, Concubine Jin hid in the room crying alone. Li Hongting waved his hand to signal the palace maids to leave, and he went to the bed and gently patted Concubine Jin who was sobbing on the bed.
When Concubine Jin saw the emperor coming, she quickly covered her face with a handkerchief and said, "Your Highness, I greet you."
"Didn't you say you were not feeling well? Why are you crying so aggrieved?"
"Your Majesty, please go to the Empress. I don't want to see you now."
Li Hongting laughed: "You don't want to see me, but you asked someone to invite me over?"
"I regret it now. Anyway, Your Majesty, please go."
Jin Jieyu acted coquettishly and pushed Li Hongting away, but Li Hongting took the opportunity to hug her in his arms.
"Oh, oh, Your Majesty, please don't look at me, don't..."
"What's going on? You let me come, but you won't let me see?"
"Wuwuwu, I called you here because I missed you. Now I don't want to see you anymore because I'm afraid you won't like me anymore after seeing me like this."
"Nonsense, am I such a superficial person?"
"Quick, let me see what's going on."
Li Hongting reached out and pulled away the handkerchief that was covering Concubine Jin's face. As soon as he saw Concubine Jin's face, his face suddenly became gloomy.
I saw Jin Jieyu's eyes were red and swollen from crying, the whites of her eyes were filled with bloodshot, and her face was also swollen.
"How is this going?"
Seeing that Li Hongting looked unhappy, Concubine Jin immediately snatched the handkerchief and covered her face with it.
"Flowing beads."
Li Hongting shouted loudly, and Liuzhu, who was waiting outside the door, ran in immediately.
"Your servant greets His Majesty."
"Tell me, what's wrong with Concubine Jin's face?"
"This this……"
Liuzhu avoided eyes and stammered.
"I'm asking you something."
"In reply to the emperor's words, this servant dare not speak."
"I asked you to speak, so just speak. Why are you hesitating?"
"Your Majesty, this morning, I accompanied Concubine Jieyu to the Imperial Garden, where I met Concubine Xian..."
"I'm asking you what's wrong with your master's face. Why are you saying this?"
"Your Majesty, I accidentally kicked and broke the snowman that Concubine Xian made, which angered Concubine Xian. She punished me, and my master felt sorry for me and said a few words to plead for me. Now I am so embarrassed when I come back."
After being yelled at by Li Hongting, Liuzhu fell to the ground, but she still told him what happened today.
Of course, she selectively told the story. As for how Li Hongting felt after hearing it, that was not something a little servant like her should worry about.
Liuzhu understands the art of speaking. She did not say that Concubine Jin's face was related to Lu Shi'an, but every word she said said they were related.
After listening to this, Li Hongting slowly closed his eyes, and after a few breaths, he slowly opened his eyes again.
"The Concubine has been very hard-working in the past six months, so it's inevitable that she has a bad temper. From now on, you should stay away from her. If you can't avoid her, you should also be more respectful. Do you understand?"
Jin Jieyu was pretending to wipe her tears, but when she heard Li Hongting say this, she froze there.
Does the emperor mean that he does not blame the virtuous concubine?
Can……
She looked up at Li Hongting, and she couldn't believe that these were the words Li Hongting said.
Ever since she entered the palace, she has been favored by the emperor. As for the virtuous concubine, she has never heard of her, let alone seen her. It's not that she hasn't heard people talk about her. When the emperor was the crown prince, he favored this virtuous concubine. She didn't quite believe it at the time. After all, the emperor seldom went to her palace. Now she believes it completely.
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Jin felt extremely aggrieved...
"Okay, stop crying."
Li Hongting reached out his hand to help her wipe away her tears. He turned around and looked at Liuzhu who was kneeling on the ground. He glared at Liuzhu unhappily and said, "You blind thing! You dared to destroy the snowman made by the Concubine Xian. Not killing you is already a kindness to you. You actually caused the two masters to have a grudge because of you. You really deserve to die."
When the emperor asked Concubine Jin to be patient, Liuzhu was already dumbfounded while kneeling on the ground.
She never expected that the emperor would be so indulgent to the virtuous concubine.
When she heard Li Hongting scolding him again, she was so scared that she trembled like a sieve.
"I deserve to die. I deserve to die. Please spare my life, Your Majesty. Please spare my life, Your Majesty."
"Get out of here. If you do it again, I will kill you without mercy."
Liuzhu ran out, tumbling and crawling. When she got outside, her legs were no longer under her control. She stood against the wall and took a long time to calm down the fear in her heart.
"emperor……"
"Okay, I'll ask the imperial physician to come and check on you. I believe you'll be back to normal soon."
Jin Jieyu nodded and lowered her head to prevent Li Hongting from seeing her face.
"It's snowing outside again. Your Majesty, please don't leave. How about you stay?"
Li Hongting really didn't want to stay when he saw such a face. Before he could think of what to say, he heard Jin Jieyu say again.
"I have thought of a good way to play it. Just blow out the candle, and Your Majesty will not be able to see my scary face. When Your Majesty is satisfied, I will go to the couch to rest, and I will never scare Your Majesty."
The reason why Concubine Jin is favored is because she likes to have fun. She is bold and has many tricks, and she always gives Li Hongting a different experience. After hearing her say this today, he immediately became interested.
"Don't you need a break?"
Concubine Jin smiled sweetly and turned around to turn off all the lights in the inner room, leaving only the light in the outer room on, which was flickering.
"Then Your Majesty, would you like to try..."
Li Hongting was tickled by her, and his eyes followed Jin Jieyu. In the dim light, Jin Jieyu came to Li Hongting, stretched out her hand to hook Li Sangtian's belt, and pulled him inside: "You annoying little goblin..."
Although the eyes cannot see clearly after the candlelight is extinguished, the human senses will be infinitely magnified...
Lu Shian followed the route he remembered to Meiyuan, but after walking for a while, he still couldn't find Meiyuan.
The wind and snow were quite strong at the moment, and she was already regretting it a little. If she had known earlier, she would not have come out.
She raised her head and looked around. She had hardly walked around in the six months since she entered the palace, and now she didn't even know where she was.
At this moment, a team of guards passed by.
"Who is there."
Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Shian quickly turned his head.
"Shen?"
