Young Liang Zhu
Tuozan now saw that Wang Baochuan was alive,
It was a kind of tolerance for herself,
How could she still allow her to go to his bedchamber with Xue Pinggui? If that was really the case, she would definitely be scratching her heart and liver.
"No,
Why don't you let sister go to my Western Palace first and suffer for a night,
The Yukun Palace is closer to my place,
His sister was frightened tonight.
It's better to rest quickly. His Majesty has to deal with matters,
So as not to disturb him. "
If Siyang wasn't really not interested in a man like Xue Pinggui at all,
She really wanted to follow his wishes and go to the bedchamber with him,
Not only was it beneficial to her,
She could also see Tuozan's twisted face, so why not?
But she didn't want to wrong herself,
To sleep in the same bed with a man who disgusted her. So after thinking for a moment, she followed Tuozan's words and said, "Sister is right. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and is working hard day and night. I really shouldn't trouble you."
The last sentence was said to Xue Pinggui. After he heard it,
He looked at the two of them,
In addition, there were other things pressing down on his mind,
He didn't struggle too much in this regard.
"In that case, my beloved concubine will take care of the Empress tonight." With a sigh, Xue Pinggui opened his arms and hugged Siyang and Tuozan's shoulders. His tone was filled with relief, "speaking of which, I only have two concubines, the Empress and the Western Palace. You two sisters should also have a good chat together and cultivate your relationship."
"Your Majesty's words are reasonable." Tuozan smiled and nodded. She held Siyang with one hand and her face was full of sisterly affection. However, only she knew what she was thinking in her heart.
Siyang sneered in her heart. In the end, she didn't show anything on her face. She just went along with it, showing her gentleness and gentleness to the fullest.
The assassin had been in a daze the entire time and hadn't been able to say a word before he was taken to prison. Si Yang didn't care about what kind of interrogation he would be subjected to. She didn't think that an assassin would be able to drag Tortoise Zan down. Even if the assassin did confess, Xue Pinggui wouldn't touch a single hair on Tortoise Zan's head. On the contrary, if she didn't let him go, she would expose herself.
In any case, he had already achieved his goal tonight. There were some things that needed to be slowly infiltrated. For example, more than half of the people in the palace were Xiliang. Furthermore, everyone had more faith in Tuozan than in Xue Pinggui.
She believed that no one in power would allow such a thing to happen. Even if they couldn't make a move now, how could they allow others to sleep beside their bed? Sooner or later, they would have to settle the score.
Wang Baochuan was a kind person. She would follow her character.
That night, Siyang followed Tuozan to her Western Palace to rest. The Western Palace wasn't as gorgeous as the main palace, but its furnishings were much better than her Jade Earth Palace.
She said that the sisterhood was deep and that they should cultivate their relationship. Jin Zan was proud and arrogant. She could pretend in front of Xue Pinggui, but she didn't have the leisure to face Wang Baochuan. Si Yang thought the same.
The next day, after returning to the Jade Earth Palace, Siyang heard the news that the assassin from last night had committed suicide by biting his tongue in the prison.
"It seems that His Majesty has made a decision."
After last night's incident, many people were dispatched to the Jade Earth Palace. The guards were also increased. It seemed to be to appease Siyang. Xue Pinggui also sent a large number of rewards along with the news.
Siyang didn't refuse any of them. She accepted all of them. It would be a waste if she didn't accept them. The assassin's death was within her expectations. She didn't feel angry.
"How could Your Majesty do this? Wasn't that assassin obvious?" Siyang didn't care about it, but Cui 'er was full of anger.
Siyang handed the new palace servants to a few old nannies. She took Cui 'er out for a walk.
Looking at Cui 'er's angry appearance, Siyang laughed. "Didn't I tell you earlier?"
The commander of the imperial guards was Xiliang's man. When the assassin was caught, he obviously wanted to protect him. Cui 'er rushed out to beg Xue Pinggui. This was all within her calculations. Siyang had also told her the result.
Cui 'er was still depressed. "Even so, Young Miss, we can't just let them bully us. Now that His Majesty is protecting Imperial Consort Niangniang like this, I'm afraid there won't be a place for you in the future."
The morning dew was heavy. After two steps, the hem of her clothes was wet. The master and servant stood on a small bridge. This place was remote and quiet. There was no one around.
Cui 'er supported her young miss and sighed. "Don't blame this servant for talking too much. I'm just worried."
It was autumn. Many yellow leaves had fallen from the lake under the bridge. They drifted with the waves. In the distance, they could see people taking care of it.
"The assassin has been used. What place do you think there will be?"
Whether it was Xue Pinggui or Tuozan, none of them wanted Wang Baochuan to live well.
As for Xue Pinggui, he couldn't wait for her to die so that he could give way to her. As for Xue Pinggui, he was bound by morality and couldn't make a move in the open, but his little tricks in the dark weren't small at all. He even deliberately allowed Xue Pinggui to do whatever he wanted.
"Cui 'er, I know what you want to say. Leave the palace, this place of trouble, right?" Staring at the blue sky, Siyang shook her head slowly and softly. However, the words she said were full of anger and resentment. "I waited for Xue Pinggui for 18 years. It's one thing for him to be heartless, but he also used me, his wife, to save his reputation as an emperor. Now that I'm no longer useful, he wants to kick me away. How can it be so simple?"
Cui 'er felt the arm she was supporting tighten in an instant.
"If they don't pay back what they owe me, I won't be satisfied even if I die." Siyang was saying what Wang Baochuan was thinking.
"So, I won't leave. I won't let them off so easily. Tuozan wants the position of empress, so I'm going to sit there firmly and steadily. Xue Pinggui wants me to die, so I'm going to live longer than him. Not only that, I'm going to take this world … Who is it?"
As she stopped speaking, Siyang's expression hardened. She looked down at the small bridge. Her sharp intuition told her that there was someone hiding there.
Cui 'er jumped in fright and looked down as well. There was a row of parasol trees under the bridge. They were lush with leaves. Could there be someone hiding there?
Seeing that her shout didn't call out the person, Siyang was slightly displeased. Her slightly raised almond-shaped eyes narrowed.
The row of parasol trees was so close that one person wouldn't be able to wrap their arms around them. A corner of indigo clothing flashed out.
When Cui 'er saw it, she covered her mouth in shock. There really was someone there. Then she panicked. What they said just now, it couldn't be …
Siyang's expression didn't change. She gently patted her to comfort her. Her eyes were fixed in that direction, waiting for that person to appear.
Because of what happened last night, Xue Pinggui had specifically told her, Wang Baochuan's empty bedchamber looked a bit like the main palace after today's decorations.
"Baochuan."
There was a carved screen between the bedroom and the outside. Sitting down on the soft couch in the outer hall, Xue Pinggui's hand was still holding onto Si Yang. Seeing this, she also sat down next to him.
"Your Majesty is so busy every day, but you still have time to come to Yukun Palace to visit me." Siyang said very apologetically.
"How can you say that?" Xue Pinggui waved his hand with a smile on his lips. "Your body has just recovered, so it's only right for me to visit you. While you were sick, there were many matters to attend to in the imperial court, so I took some time out to visit you. I've been thinking about it."
Of course, he was worried about her. Siyang felt that the reason Xue Pinggui didn't come to see Wang Baochuan was probably because he felt guilty and didn't dare to personally see her being sent to her death.
"Matters of court are of great importance to the world. Your Majesty naturally has to come. Besides, isn't chenqie fine right now?"
Xue Pinggui was very satisfied with Siyang's answer. Just as he was about to nod, he seemed to think of something and the smile on his face disappeared. He patted the back of Siyang's hand and sighed: "The assassin from last night was discovered today. He committed suicide to escape punishment."
"After obtaining his confession, we found out that he was actually from the Central Plains. It was only because he was half Xiliang that he looked different from others. He was actually a remnant of the rebels and used the difference in appearance to enter the palace to assassinate. Fortunately, he was just like that and didn't amount to much."
She raised her head to look at Xue Pinggui. The latter also stared fixedly at Siyang without averting his gaze.
Xue Pinggui could even come up with such a far-fetched excuse. Did he think that he was very smart, or did he really think that Wang Baochuan was an idiot?
That's right. If Wang Baochuan wasn't an idiot, why would she wait 18 years for this bastard? After coming back, she would forgive him with a few tearful complaints.
She was really stupid. No wonder he didn't even bother to think of an excuse to deceive her.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xue Pinggui wasn't as calm as he appeared. He didn't want to come to Yukun Palace because Siyang was right. He didn't want to face Wang Baochuan.
Every time he saw her weathered face, it was like there was a shackle of sin on his body, constantly reminding him of his past failures.
Suddenly, Siyang broke into a smile.
That smile dazzled Xue Pinggui. Time seemed to travel back in time to that year when they first met. Her smile was bright and beautiful.
Siyang grasped his arm and said gently: "Chenqie is not worried. Fortunately, the assassin only came to Yukun Palace last night. Otherwise, what would happen if he hurt Your Majesty?"
Since he said it was a rebel assassin, he must have come for Xue Pinggui.
Siyang patted her chest as she spoke, but there was still a lingering fear on her face: "That assassin came with great ferocity. It was also a freak combination of factors. Otherwise, chenqie would also …" She shook her head and couldn't continue. She only frowned: "We still need to increase the guards in the palace. Your Majesty, chenqie is fine. If something like this happens again, who can prevent it?"
Xue Pinggui's expression had been very calm before, but when he saw Si Yang so frightened, his eyes showed that he was touched. He opened his arms and put them around her shoulders. Just as he was about to comfort her, the words that were about to come out of his mouth suddenly stopped. His thick and straight eyebrows obviously raised, and a faint frown appeared between his brows. "… Baochuan, you, what you said is indeed reasonable. When we return, we will definitely instruct the people below to take more precautions."
"Yes, although there are many things waiting to be done, the rules cannot be ignored. The imperial guards protecting the palace must also be strictly checked." Siyang nodded.
"Oh, Baochuan, what do you mean?" Xue Pinggui gently pulled away and lowered his head to look at her.
As if she didn't notice Xue Pinggui's scrutinizing gaze, Siyang slowly said: "Naturally, it is to prevent accidents from happening. The assassin last night looked so similar to Xiliang's people. What if he was mixed in with the imperial guards? Your Majesty's safety is the most important."
Xue Pinggui suddenly understood Siyang's meaning. Half of the imperial guards were Xiliang's people. If it was really an assassin …
The imperial guards were the imperial guards that would protect him.
"Your Majesty, don't you think so?" Siyang tilted her head and said slowly after seeing that he was deep in thought.
"Uh …" Xue Pinggui coughed lightly and came back to his senses. His expression was a bit unnatural, but he continued: "You are the empress, the master of the harem. Since you have said so, zhen will naturally do as you say."
When did she, the empress, become so useful?
However, Siyang was very satisfied with Xue Pinggui's reaction.
"Baochuan, we haven't had a good chat since we reunited. How about zhen rest here tonight? Didn't you want zhen to spend more time with you?"
If Xue Pinggui didn't say that last sentence, Siyang would be even more pleased.
It was obvious that he wanted to stay the night.
Si Yang subconsciously touched her face. Was it because she recovered too quickly that she could actually make this person have such thoughts? Si Yang muttered in her heart.
"Your Majesty, that won't do."
"Hm?"
Xue Pinggui thought that if he wanted to stay the night, Wang Baochuan would be overjoyed. He didn't expect such an answer. For a moment, he was so shocked that he didn't even have time to adjust his expression.
Rubbing her forehead, Siyang's face paled. She explained in a soft voice: "This concubine has just recovered from a serious illness. My body is still ill. What if I pass on to Your Majesty?"
So it was like that.
Xue Pinggui wanted to say that he didn't mind, but he thought of something. He narrowed his sharp eyes and tapped his chin: "Zhen isn't afraid of passing on any illness, but Baochuan, your body is still weak. You need to take care of yourself. There's always time to chat. There's no rush."
The reason was very dignified.
Regardless of what Xue Pinggui was thinking, after sending him off as she wished, Siyang turned around and removed her warm as water appearance.
The trap had been set. Now it was up to him to continue.
On the other side, Xue Pinggui, who had left the Jade Earth Palace, immediately had a cold expression on his face.
The eunuch who followed Xue Pinggui shrank his head and didn't dare to look around.
"Go investigate for zhen. How many of the guards in the Imperial Palace are from the Xiliang Army?" After returning, Xue Pinggui didn't immediately go to his sleeping quarters to rest. Instead, he went to the Imperial Study and gave orders to his subordinates.
After the person acknowledged and left, the person sitting on the dragon throne lowered his head and looked at the memorial in his hand. Coincidentally, the memorial was written on the memorial to the emperor requesting for him to be conferred the title of crown prince.
That's right, Crown Prince.
Xue Pinggui currently had a son and a daughter, both of them were his and Xue Pinggui's children. Towards his own children, of course he was fond of them. Moreover, what the memorial said made sense. He had just ascended the throne, the title of the country had already been decided. For the sake of the country's foundation, it was indeed reasonable to appoint an heir apparent.
But right now, he was thinking about another matter.
In the end, Xue Pinggui put the memorial to the side. At the same time, he sent away the eunuch from the Western Palace.
When he saw the eunuch's actions and the way he called out, that eunuch's eyes flashed with surprise. He quickly came to his senses and hurriedly bowed. "This subject greets Her Imperial Highness the Empress."
Siyang had no impression of who this person was. But based on his actions and attire, he wasn't an ordinary person.
"Wangye, there's no need to be so courteous." Although she didn't know who he was, Siyang had heard how the eunuch called him.
"This servant didn't know, Your Imperial Highness. This humble servant has disturbed you. Please forgive this servant, Your Imperial Highness."
This eunuch was one of Xue Pinggui's eunuchs. But looking at his fearful appearance, Siyang felt that Xue Pinggui's acting was too good. He had fooled most people. Those who didn't know would think that he was favored.
Perhaps there was a fact that no one noticed. Ever since Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan were reunited, they didn't have sex.
It could be seen that when faced with Wang Baochuan's declining appearance, even Xue Pinggui, who boasted of his unrepentant love, couldn't do it. Not to mention, there was Princess Tuozan, who was like a delicate flower beside him.
"What are you saying? The Imperial Garden is so big. It's not my place. It's not a disturbance." Siyang didn't move from her seat. She said to the eunuch, "You are one of His Imperial Majesty's people. Presumably, His Imperial Majesty wants to see Wangye. You have an errand. It's best to go as soon as possible."
The eunuch was indeed anxious. When he heard this, he sighed and climbed up from the ground, "This servant will take his leave."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and said to the person beside him, "Wangye, let's go. Don't keep His Imperial Majesty waiting."
That person didn't say anything. He just cupped his hands and nodded in the direction of Siyang, indicating that he wanted to take his leave.
"Wangye, take care."
When the figure disappeared, Siyang held her chin and muttered to herself, "Which Wangye is that?"
Xue Pinggui didn't have any siblings. This definitely had nothing to do with him.
"Young Miss, that was the Runan Of Gojoseon."
As expected, Cui 'er didn't disappoint Siyang.
