Su Yu finally discovered that the smell in the room was very different from usual. As a cook, he could still distinguish the smell of spices. With one sniff, he knew that it was not the usual pine fragrance. His body was still a bit sleepy. Su Yu yawned, narrowed his eyes, and wanted to sleep again.
"You're not allowed to sleep!" An Hong-chul saw that Su Yu was acting strangely and quickly walked to the bed. He pulled the half-sitting Su Yu into his arms and grabbed his wrist to examine it.
Su Yu buried his face in the emperor's waist and yawned again. The rich smell of sunlight dispelled the strange smell in his nose and made him feel much more comfortable. He couldn't help but rub against the emperor. The emperor's clothes were very soft. It didn't feel like silk or soft cloth, but rather like it was woven from extremely fine fur. It was very comfortable to rub against.
"What are you doing?" An Hong-chul was tickled by the rubbing. He reached out to push Su Yu's head.
"Wu … …" Su Yu felt a bit hot. The emperor's body still had the warmth of the sun, but when he rubbed against it, it strangely made him feel cool. He couldn't help but feel a bit reluctant. He looked enviously at the emperor's broad chest and swallowed his saliva.
"Damn it!" The emperor lowered his head and met Su Yu's eyes. That pair of warm eyes were watery because of the yawn. The emperor looked at him with an indescribable desire. He lifted Su Yu's chin with one hand and looked at his face closer. He frowned and said, "Why are you looking at zhen like that?"
A voice as clear as a cold spring reverberated in his ears. The cadence was very pleasant to the ears. Su Yu's breathing suddenly became hurried. His body also reacted. He cursed inwardly and his face immediately turned red.
"Why are you blushing?" An Hong-chul raised his eyebrows and looked at him. He couldn't help but feel a bit proud. This stupid servant really admired him too much.
"Wu, it's a bit hot." Su Yu averted his eyes, not daring to look again. The emperor's appearance was really too tempting. It was better not to look at indecent things to avoid losing face.
Hearing Su Yu's words, the Emperor also felt a little hot. Presumably, it was because he had run all the way here, so he rolled up his sleeves, revealing the golden lining underneath.
Su Yu tried to divert her attention by looking at the Emperor's arm. "Your Majesty, your clothes …" These clothes were really strange. They were yellow on the inside and white on the outside. She always felt that he was wearing them inside out.
"What is it?" Just now, Su Yu's random rubbing had disturbed the investigation. His Majesty grabbed Su Yu's wrist again, but the soft sleeve could not be rolled up and slipped down by itself.
Su Yu reached out and touched it. It felt very good to the touch. "This material is really good."
"This is the only piece in the entire country," An Hong-chul casually responded. Then he frowned and touched Su Yu's arm up and down, then reached out to touch his neck. "Why are you so hot?"
"Nn …" Su Yu gave a muffled grunt and shrunk back. His breathing became hurried again because of the Emperor's sudden touch.
"Nn?" The forbearance in that voice made the Emperor's heart move. Looking at Su Yu's awkward posture, he instantly understood. He knelt on one knee by the bed, his hands on the head of the bed, and wrapped Su Yu in his arms. "Stupid slave, you aren't in heat with zhen, are you?"
"How, how is that possible …" Su Yu almost choked on his own saliva. The Emperor's choice of words was too rough!
"Hmph, hmph." The Emperor snorted and raised a hand to lift Su Yu's quilt.
Su Yu gave a cry of surprise. He grabbed the corner of the quilt and used all his strength to pull it back. An Hong-chul nimbly turned his wrist and reached his hand into the quilt.
Su Yu quickly curled up his legs and used all his strength to pull the quilt back. The Emperor naturally wouldn't let him succeed. He grabbed the lining of the quilt and suddenly flipped it. The wide quilt was instantly lifted off, leaving only the corner of the quilt in Su Yu's hand.
"…" Su Yu was stunned and dazedly grabbed the corner of the quilt.
An Hong-chul glanced between his legs and smiled proudly, "I knew you liked zhen very much. You still won't admit it."
Su Yu reacted and his entire body flushed red. Smoke came out of his head as he looked at the Emperor who had suddenly become a rogue. Suddenly, he became bold and reached out to touch the Emperor, "You're still talking about me. Isn't His Majesty the same!"
The Emperor stiffened and grabbed Su Yu's groping hand. He fiercely pushed him down and pressed his hands above his head. He climbed up and sandwiched him between his legs, "Damn it, you're simply lawless now. Zhen really should properly punish you with the family law."
"Boom!" Right at this moment, the door to the bedchamber was suddenly pushed open. Several imperial bodyguards suddenly rushed in and shouted without even looking, "How dare you! You actually dare to commit adultery in the imperial harem …"
The leading imperial bodyguard looked as if he had seen a ghost. His hand that was pointing forward involuntarily began to tremble.
The curtains on the wide bed were messy and the quilt was carelessly thrown on the ground. The Emperor was wearing a thin robe and was pressing Consort Xian under his body. Consort Xian's cheeks were red as she struggled endlessly.
Yang Gonggong and the eunuch from Ye Xiao Palace, who were half a step behind, ran in and also stiffened.
The scene was a bit awkward.
"Shameful thing, what are you looking at!" An Hong-chul quickly grabbed a quilt and covered Su Yu from head to toe.
Su Yu was extremely embarrassed at this moment. He simply followed the Emperor's intentions and buried himself in the quilt like an ostrich.
"Your Majesty, please forgive us!" Several people reacted and knelt on the ground with a plop. They put their heads on the ground and repeatedly begged for forgiveness. They wished they could bury their heads in the cracks between the bricks.
His Majesty the Emperor sneered. How could he not see what was going on? He glanced at the tightly wrapped Su Yu and leisurely walked in front of everyone, "This is the first time zhen has heard that favoring an imperial concubine is considered adultery in the imperial harem."
His cold voice did not have a trace of warmth. It was full of murderous intent.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, these people said that an assassin entered the hall and said that they wanted to break in no matter what." Yang Gonggong was scared out of his wits and quickly pulled himself out. At this moment, he did not have time to think about why the Emperor would suddenly appear in Ye Xiao Palace. He was clearly standing guard outside the door, but he did not see half a person's shadow.
"Isn't the door locked?" Su Yu poked half his head out and looked at the wide open door. Before going to sleep, he specifically told Ye Yuan to close the door tightly. This way, he could sleep soundly.
An Hong-chul narrowed his eyes and put his hands behind his back, "Summon the Imperial Guards to seal off Ye Xiao Palace. Not a single bird is allowed to leave!"
Soon, the armored Imperial Guards surrounded Ye Xiao Palace. The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became tense. The imperial physician was urgently summoned to take Concubine Xian's pulse. All the palace maids and eunuchs of Ye Xiao Palace were gathered in the front hall. Only the imperial physician and the Emperor were in the bedchamber. No one else was allowed to enter.
"Imperial Concubine, something big has happened!" Yulan stumbled in, "The Imperial Guards have surrounded Ye Xiao Palace."
"Oh?" Imperial Consort Lu suddenly sat up, her eyes full of surprise, "The Imperial Guards were actually alarmed!" Originally, she thought that it would be enough to alarm the Emperor if the imperial guards were to make a ruckus. She did not expect that even the Imperial Guards would be mobilized. It seems that the Emperor was furious.
"Of course the Emperor is furious!" Yulan was so scared that her face turned pale, "Those imperial guards have already been beaten to death on the spot!"
"What did you say!" Imperial Consort Lu suddenly stood up. Why did the imperial guards have to be beaten to death? They were meritorious people. How could this situation be different from what she expected?
The Imperial Guards had sealed off Ye Xiao Palace, so naturally, they had also sealed off the news. Imperial Consort Lu's people could not find out anything. After two hours, the ins and outs of the matter had been investigated.
His Majesty the Emperor swiftly and decisively dealt with those imperial guards who dared to look at Consort Xian. Then, he had people carry Ye Yuan and Chen Xiang and throw them into Ci 'an Palace.
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, this Chen Xiang can cause people to fall asleep, but it can also arouse men." The imperial physician trembled as he reported the truth.
"Hmph, what a vicious scheme!" The Empress Dowager looked at the red sandalwood box, her face cold, "Doing this kind of thing under aijia's eyes, they really have guts!"
"Ye Xiao Palace is not peaceful now. Zhen is preparing to let Consort Xian live in the North Pole Palace." His Majesty the Emperor watched the Empress Dowager vent her anger before slowly saying this.
"How can a concubine live in the Emperor's bedroom?" The Empress Dowager frowned and helplessly looked at the Emperor, "Aijia will investigate the matter today. I will not put Consort Xian in danger."
"Imperial Mother can decide the matters of the harem. Zhen only wants Consort Xian." An Hong-chul stood up and pulled the confused Su Yu out of Ci 'an Palace.
The eunuchs and palace maids in Ci 'an Palace all lowered their heads, not daring to say anything. Because of an evil consort, there was discord between the imperial mother and son.
The Empress Dowager rubbed her forehead and sighed heavily, "One after another, they are all troublesome."
"Empress Dowager, calm down. You still don't know His Majesty's temper," Lin Gugu hurriedly mediated, "The most important thing is to investigate the matter of Chen Xiang."
The Empress Dowager nodded and issued several imperial decrees in a row.
Someone intended to frame Consort Xian, and colluded with the imperial guards, rebelled, and committed treason. Except for the victim, Su Yu, the rest of the imperial concubines were summoned to Ci 'an Palace. Imperial Consort Lu's heart was in a mess, and several of the imperial concubines were also in a state of panic.
The cause of everything was that box of Chen Xiang. When Cen cairen saw the red sandalwood box, she was stunned, "Empress Dowager, the Chen Xiang sent by this concubine's family is definitely not poisonous!"
"So, this matter is related to the Marquis Of Changchun?" Concubine De added insult to injury.
"Nonsense!" Cen cairen screamed.
The ins and outs of the matter were very simple. The clues were cut off when Cen cairen gave the Chen Xiang to the eunuch. That eunuch had already jumped into the well to commit suicide. The dead tell no tales.
"Only the Marquis Of Changchun has Chen Xiang. There are many people in the palace who have Chen Xiang." At this critical moment, Miss Cen's brain, which was not very bright, suddenly worked.
The imperial concubines immediately became nervous again. Chen Xiang was not rare, and it was not easy to find out where it came from. Imperial Consort Lu comforted herself in her heart. How could ordinary people tell the difference between Chen Xiang and Chen Xiang?
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Prince Zhao requests an audience." At this moment, His Royal Highness King Zhao, who had been summoned, arrived.
The imperial concubines all retreated behind the screen. The Empress Dowager was all smiles as she called His Royal Highness King Zhao to her side, "Your Highness is an expert in identifying fragrances. Today, Aijia will definitely find out the truth about the Chen Xiang!"
When did he become an expert in identifying fragrances? His Royal Highness King Zhao, who did not know what was going on, finally understood why his Empress Dowager had called him here when he saw the box of fragrances that the palace maids had laid out. His chubby face immediately scrunched up.
