The Legend of the Weaver Girl in Search of the Gods
"What do you mean?" Siyang wanted to hear what he was going to say next.
Li Yi's lips curled into a faint smile.
He looked at her quietly, "Today, someone spread the news that an assassin appeared in the palace last night and almost injured Her Highness …" He laughed again, "But now, it seems that Her Highness
Her Highness shouldn't have been frightened. "
Siyang glanced at the person beside her and raised her eyebrows slightly.
She probed, "The Runan Of Gojoseon is really well-informed."
Li Yi shook his head,
He said calmly, "I can't say that I'm well-informed. This matter is known by all the civil and military officials. I just happened to hear it."
So soon, there were rumors outside the palace.
According to Siyang's expectations, Xue Pinggui would definitely suppress this matter.
However, now it was spreading like wildfire.
Of course, there were other people who pushed it and deliberately did it. However, this Runan Of Gojoseon, who had just returned to the capital,
Was able to obtain accurate information in such a short time.
It was not simple.
"Then, what is Wangye's opinion on this matter?"
Obviously, he did not expect Siyang to ask such a question.
Li Yi was slightly startled. Then, he avoided her gaze and looked into the distance, "His Majesty has just ascended the throne. It's inevitable that some people will harbor evil intentions."
"What I saw might not be the case." Siyang saw that he wanted to pull away and slowly pulled him back.
She sighed deeply,
And said with slight worry, "I won't hide it from Wangye.
Last night, the assassin came for my Yukun Palace.
Fortunately, he was caught. When I pulled down his mask, I saw that he had the appearance of someone from Xiliang. He really scared me. "
"Is that so?" Li Yi didn't notice at all that the Empress, who was chatting with him, had a frightened look on her face.
Siyang did not pay attention to the slight mockery in his words. Her gentle brows furrowed with slight worry. "Wangye, you see, I have suffered so much in order to obtain this glory and splendor. Now, I have to live in fear every day. How can I be as free as you say?"
Li Yi didn't want to jump to conclusions, but he agreed with the first part.
"This subject has heard of the past between Your Highness and His Majesty. Your Highness's chastity is admirable."
Siyang pinched her handkerchief and pretended to wipe her eyes. She looked as if she had been deeply touched. "For Wangye to say this, he must be a sentimental person."
The two of them talked back and forth. Although Cui 'er understood what they said and knew what they meant, she still felt that it was strange.
"Although this place is remote, it is still the harem. Wangye, you should go back early." Siyang saw a figure trotting over from afar.
Li Yi narrowed his eyes and nodded. "Thank you for your warning, Your Highness."
"Miss, the Runan Of Gojoseon can't have heard what we said, right?" Cui Er was still looking back even after they had walked far away. She was holding Si Yang's hand tightly. She was so nervous that she tightened her grip.
"Him?" Si Yang stopped in her tracks and looked behind her. That person was still on the bridge, standing with his hands clasped behind his back. When she looked at him, he even nodded his head in acknowledgment.
"It doesn't matter if he heard." She pursed her pale lips and smiled faintly. She calmly turned back.
Li Yi stared at the departing figure. His eyebrows gradually became solemn, and a trace of malice flashed in his eyes. His footsteps paused, and he bent down to pick up an embroidered handkerchief from the ground. His tentacles rubbed his face thoughtfully.
A young eunuch hurriedly ran onto the bridge. He put his hands on his waist and panted as he complained.
"Wangye, you have made it difficult for me to find you."
This young eunuch was the guide for the Runan Of Gojoseon. He was called away because of some matters. A moment later, he remembered his mission and ran around looking for him.
"Oh." Li Yi calmly put away the embroidered handkerchief in his hand and glanced coldly at him. "Then I have made you work hard."
The young eunuch fanned himself and wanted to say something. However, when he met the gaze of the person in front of him, his face froze. The cold gaze made him forget what he wanted to say. Then he felt guilty.
"No, it is nothing. This is what a servant should do." The young eunuch laughed dryly and carefully avoided his gaze. His neck involuntarily shrank.
Tilting his chin slightly and moving his gaze, Li Yi's lips curled in a mocking smile. He said faintly, "Eunuch, you should lead the way. This is the inner palace. Wang cannot stay here."
"Yes, yes, yes. This servant will lead the way."
The young eunuch who walked forward cursed silently with his head lowered and his lips moving at an angle that the Runan Of Gojoseon could not see.
It was just Wangye who had lost his country. What was there to be proud of?
Looking at the bronze mirror, Siyang felt very satisfied as she looked at her face that was recovering more and more. Today should have been the death anniversary of Wang Baochuan.
Wang Baochuan had only been the empress for eighteen days before she passed away. She was said to be a chaste woman in the world.
However, such a thing would naturally not happen again after she appeared.
"Miss's health is getting better and better." Cui 'er was very happy about this. At the same time, she felt even more resentment towards Xue Pinggui and Tuozan. It turned out that there was indeed a problem with the medicine. After she stopped taking that troublesome medicine, Miss gradually got better.
In fact, this was both right and wrong.
Wang Baochuan's body was indeed overworked. There were signs of internal exhaustion. If she did not take care of herself, her life would be exhausted in a few years. The medicine was just a talisman that hastened her death.
"Ah, there is less white hair on your head. This servant can't see it anymore." After combing Siyang's hair, Cui 'er noticed something else.
"Is that so?" Lifting her hand to fix her hair, Siyang smiled slightly. "Isn't this very good?"
Cui Er was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled and nodded in agreement, "Miss is right. You're the best."
Outside the hall, a young palace maid quickly walked in and knelt on the ground. She hurriedly said, "Niangniang, His Majesty has arrived."
Hm?
It's already dark. What is Xue Pinggui doing here?
Thinking this, Siyang gathered her thoughts and walked out to greet him.
Just as she arrived at the door, Xue Pinggui happened to step into Jade Earth Palace.
"Your Majesty has arrived. Chenqie did not go out to greet you." Siyang leaned to the side and bowed.
"Empress, please rise." Xue Pinggui quickly reached out to support her.
Siyang followed his support and stood up. She looked at him eagerly. "Your Majesty, how do you have time to visit chenqie today?"
Xue Pinggui held Siyang's hand. He felt the change in the texture of her hand. He looked at it and found that although her rough and cracked hand was not as soft and delicate as before, it was much smoother. The joints were also smaller. It was not as unbearable and eye-catching as before.
"Of course I'm here to see you. Your illness has just improved and you were frightened last night. How can we not worry?" Xue Pinggui said with sincerity. Unfortunately, Siyang did not believe a single word.
The weather was cold, and all the necessities in the Jade Earth Palace had been restocked. Now, everyone's eyes were on Si Yang's stomach.
If this child was a prince, then it would be fine. If it wasn't, then there would be more twists and turns.
"I wonder how the war is going?" Cui 'er added charcoal to the gilded stove in the hall. She looked at Siyang who was lying on the soft couch and reading a book leisurely. She shook her head and went to tuck in the blanket covering her. "Miss, you aren't worried either."
"Worried about what?" Siyang said faintly without looking away. She turned a page of the book.
"Of course I'm worried about the Runan Of Gojoseon. He is now the deputy general. The report from the border said that he lost the first battle. I don't know how the situation is now. If the Xiliang Army wins, what should we do?"
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure he already has a plan for the border." Si Yang said with a smile after listening.
Cui 'er paused and then said with realization, "Could it be that Miss and Wangye have discussed this?"
Siyang closed the book and sat up. She pulled the corner of her mouth in annoyance. She snorted, "He is very capable. He doesn't need to discuss it with me."
Cui 'er lowered her head carefully and stuck out her tongue. She saw that Miss was indifferent to the Runan Of Gojoseon. She thought that they were just making a deal. Now it seemed that she cared about him.
"Wangye is afraid that Miss will worry about him when you are pregnant and can't take care of the baby. Please don't mind." Cui 'er tried her best to put in a good word for Li Yi for their future.
Siyang raised her eyes and glanced at Cui 'er. She didn't expose her thoughts. She looked around the bedroom and then at the little palace maid standing by the side. "Is there any movement in the West Palace recently?"
Although Tuozan was locked up now, Siyang was still worried about her. She was the princess of Xiliang and the only royal family of Xiliang. The people of Xiliang wouldn't leave her alone.
"Your Highness, there are no other movements." The little palace maid knelt down and answered.
"Tuozan is so well-behaved?" Siyang didn't believe it.
The little palace maid thought for a while and said, "A palace maid in the West Palace has been making a fuss because the food is not to her taste. Today, she said that the one in the West Palace is sick and wants the imperial doctor to treat her."
"A palace maid?" Siyang immediately thought of Tuozan's maid, Aya. She frowned and thought for a while. Then she ordered slowly, "Call the commander of the Imperial Guards to see me."
When Xue Pinggui was sick, Siyang grabbed a lot of power. Now, not only the imperial harem, but also the important ministers of the previous dynasty had urgent matters. It was much more useful to ask her, the Empress, than Xue Pinggui.
