Zhang Yuan had entered the palace as a servant, so it was destined that he could only think for the emperor. In reality, he wasn't firmly on the Ninth Prince's side, nor did he help Consort Yun. In general, he was on the emperor's side. No matter what he said or did, he always considered things from the emperor's point of view. Today, when he stopped Consort Yuanshu's sedan, it was also to tell Consort Yuanshu: "The emperor is getting old and his health hasn't been very good these days. Although the emperor doesn't say it, this servant has served the emperor for so many years and can see that the emperor is tired. Even the imperial physicians say that if this continues, the emperor's body won't be well. So this servant dares to ask Consort Yuanshu niang niang to let the emperor rest a bit! It's not good for the imperial concubines to sleep like this every night. "
Consort Yuanshu didn't like hearing these words. She gave a cold snort and said: "You mean to say that this consort is pestering the emperor and causing him to overdraw his strength? Zhang Yuan, you're really bold! Don't you know the rules of the palace? When has it ever been the imperial concubines' turn to decide on favours? Isn't this the emperor's own idea? If you say this to this consort, should this consort immediately turn back and not respect the emperor's decree? "
Zhang Yuan felt helpless when he heard this, but he still braced himself and said: "If niang niang can turn back, this servant will definitely deal with the emperor."
"Impudent!" Consort Yuanshu became angry, "You're just a eunuch, yet you dare to go behind the emperor's back and drive back one of his concubines? Is it you or the emperor who has the final say in the palace? "
With such a big accusation being placed on Zhang Yuan's head, he was so scared that he quickly kowtowed and apologized: "This servant didn't mean that. This servant is only concerned about the emperor's health. Niang niang, please understand this servant's difficulties!"
Empathize with the difficulties? Consort Yuanshu had long found Zhang Yuan to be an eyesore. She had been worried that she wouldn't have a reason to deal with this damned eunuch, but now she had a plan. She rolled her eyes and changed the topic, "Forget it. You're doing this for the good of His Majesty. This consort also hopes that His Majesty can be well. His health is more important than anything else. Since that's the case, Bengong will return today! I won't be able to accompany His Majesty for dinner. I hope that Eunuch Zhang can help Ben gong deal with His Majesty. "After saying this, she immediately ordered the palace servants carrying the sedan:" Turn around, we're going back to Cun Shan Palace. "
The eunuch who had gone to invite Consort Yuanshu glanced at Zhang Yuan and didn't say anything. He signaled for the palace servants to carry her back. On the other side, Zhang Yuan knelt there and said gratefully, "This servant respectfully sends off Consort Yuanshu Your Highness! This servant thanks Consort Yuanshu Your Highness for understanding. "After saying this, he raised his head and his forehead was covered in sweat.
Trying to steal the emperor from Consort Yuanshu's hands was truly difficult! He stood up and walked towards Zhao He Hall. On the way, he was still thinking about how to report to Emperor Tianwu. Privately chasing away a concubine was a big taboo in the palace.
On Consort Yuanshu's side, the eunuch who had sent the message was following her back to the palace. On the way back, he said with some dissatisfaction: "Consort Yuanshu Your Highness really has a good temper. That Eunuch Zhang is too much. This kind of thing is against the rules!" Although he was also a eunuch who served Emperor Tianwu, for many years, Emperor Tianwu only favored Zhang Yuan and wasn't very close to people like him. For things like eunuchs, their bodies weren't complete, so most of them had perverted hearts. Although Zhang Yuan usually didn't take care of them, they just weren't satisfied. They were very envious of Zhang Yuan's favor. As a matter of fact, now that Consort Yuanshu was favored, these eunuchs who weren't successful at Emperor Tianwu's side immediately changed sides. In addition, Consort Yuanshu and the Eighth Prince intentionally tried to rope them in. Now, there was a group of people at Emperor Tianwu's side who were biased towards them.
Hearing this eunuch say this, Consort Yuanshu's soft sigh came from inside the palanquin. She said: "What can be done? He is the emperor's personal eunuch. The emperor dotes on him. Although this consort has regained favor, every step is like walking on thin ice. If I don't give that Zhang Yuan some face, he might say something in front of the emperor. It's very likely that this consort will fall out of favor again. Ai. "She sighed again. Hearing her sigh made one's heart ache.
The eunuch outside said: "Niangniang is currently favored. This servant has been watching from the sidelines. These days, the emperor has been indifferent to Zhang Yuan. Especially when niangniang is present, the emperor doesn't let him get close to her. It can be seen that niangniang's influence in the emperor's heart is much deeper than that of Zhang Yuan. Therefore, niangniang doesn't need to worry about that. Instead, you should think about today's matter. If you return to Cun Shan Palace like this, I'm afraid you'll become the laughingstock of the palace in the future! "
Palace maid Yue Xiu, who was following the palanquin with this eunuch, asked: "Then what does gonggong think our niangniang should do?"
That eunuch said: "This time's matter is said to be a bad thing, but if you think about it from a different perspective, perhaps it's a good thing? Zhang Yuan is such an eyesore by the emperor's side, yet niangniang wants to get rid of him? "
Yue Xiu looked at that eunuch with a smile on her lips, "How about gonggong give our niangniang an idea!" Ever since she heard that Consort Yuanshu was going to return, she had already guessed her master's thoughts. This return wasn't a decision that was casually made. It was even more impossible for her to return for nothing. This time, Zhang Yuan was likely going to suffer.
Today's dinner, Emperor Tianwu was very uncomfortable. He even smashed his bowl and chopsticks halfway through the meal. No matter what was said, he wasn't willing to eat again.
Zhang Yuan carefully accompanied him on the side, constantly urging him: "Emperor, eat a little more. You ate too little today. You'll be hungry at night."
"How can zhen eat!" Emperor Tianwu glared at him: "Zhang Yuan! Zhen will ask you, why didn't Consort Yuanshu come with the imperial decree? Do you know that if Consort Yuanshu doesn't come, zhen won't be able to eat? "
Zhang Yuan silently cursed in his heart: You didn't have this problem in the past! But on the surface, he still said: "Consort Yuanshu's body isn't very well today. Moreover, niangniang is also empathizing with your majesty. You've already had sex for seven days in a row. Even a body made of iron wouldn't be able to endure it! Your majesty, seeing niangniang's painstaking efforts, you must take good care of yourself. Only if you take good care of your body will you be able to live happily with niangniang in the future. Won't that be the case? "
"Nonsense!" Emperor Tianwu was so angry that he flipped the table, "Zhen's body is perfectly fine! So what if it's seven days in a row? It's fine even if it's seventy days! Quickly go and call Consort Yuanshu over for zhen! "
"Your majesty!" Zhang Yuan kneeled on the ground and was about to cry, "Your majesty, what's wrong with you? You weren't like this before! You can't scare this servant. This servant has served you for so many years and has never seen you like this before. Your majesty, think more about the Dashun Empire. How about … if you really can't eat, this servant will accompany you to Winter Moon Palace? "
"Winter Moon Palace?" Hearing these three words, Emperor Tianwu suddenly fell into a trance. He subconsciously asked: "What kind of place is Winter Moon Palace? Why does this name sound so familiar to zhen? "
Zhang Yuan's heart trembled and he quickly said: "Your majesty, what's wrong with you? How could you forget about Winter Moon Palace? Winter Moon Palace is Consort Yun's residence! Her Highness Imperial Concubine Yun is someone that you cherish the most. She is His Highness the ninth prince's birth mother! "
When Emperor Tianwu heard Zhang Yuan's words, he felt a wave of dizziness for no reason. It was as if something was gnawing on his head and it began to hurt again. He held his head with both hands and his body swayed. He continuously muttered: "Consort Yun? Consort Yun? " It was as if he was trying his best to remember something. There were even some fragments that had already entered his mind. They flashed, sometimes clear, sometimes blurry, but they were all very short and couldn't be connected. This made Emperor Tianwu feel very pained.
These days, whenever he was alone, he would always feel absent-minded. He always felt like he had forgotten something. Even when he went to court and faced his sons, especially the Ninth Prince, his heart would always feel very uncomfortable. But all of this would instantly disappear when Consort Yuanshu appeared. It made him feel that as long as Consort Yuanshu was by his side, everything would be fine. His heart would be at ease and his body would be strong. He was thinking that since there was someone who could make him feel good, why not spend more time with someone who could make him feel good? What was the point of thinking about something that wasn't there?
As a result, he doted on Consort Yuanshu even more, to the point where he didn't want to see the Ninth Prince again.
Today, when Zhang Yuan suddenly mentioned Winter Moon Palace, that uncomfortable feeling came up again. It was even stronger than usual today, so much so that he suddenly had an urge to investigate. He wanted to understand what those fragments that flashed through his mind meant. What had he forgotten?
Zhang Yuan looked at him like this, feeling both worried and expectant. He was worried that something would happen if his head hurt too much. He was expectant because what if he could think of something? Then wouldn't he return to being the Emperor Tianwu of the past? Would the strange atmosphere in the palace be dispelled?
Unfortunately, things didn't go as he wished. Just as Emperor Tianwu was trying his best to recall the most crucial moment, a palace servant suddenly rushed in from outside to report: "Your majesty, something happened at Cun Shan Palace! Consort Yuanshu, she … … she hanged herself! "
"What?" These words instantly pulled Emperor Tianwu back to reality. It was as if the words "Consort Yuanshu" had a magical power that could instantly bring people back to reality.
Emperor Tianwu was scared out of his mind. Consort Yuanshu hanged herself? No! He definitely couldn't lose Consort Yuanshu. That would mean that he would forever be in pain. Moreover, at this moment, a strong signal suddenly appeared in his mind. That signal told him: Consort Yuanshu was his most beloved person, the Eighth Prince was his most beloved son, and Consort Yuanshu was his life. He definitely couldn't let himself lose his life.
"Prepare the carriage! Let's go to Cun Shan Palace! "Emperor Tianwu suddenly felt better again. He led everyone in a hurry to Cun Shan Palace.
Zhang Yuan watched all of this and sighed bitterly to himself. He just thought to himself that everything that he had done today had been for naught. He had not been able to pull the Emperor back from the brink of losing control. Compared to the current Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu, the words Winter Moon Palace were still too light. He just didn't know if everything would change for the better when Consort Yun stood in front of Emperor Tianwu. As he followed them to Cun Shan Palace, he thought that he had to find an opportunity to go to Winter Moon Palace and ask Consort Yun to come out and save Tianwu.
Inside Cun Shan Palace, the entire palace was filled with the sounds of crying. There were even people calling out: "Your majesty! Your majesty! "
When Tianwu arrived, his legs turned to jelly when he heard these cries. He came down from the dragon carriage and practically ran into the main hall. When he arrived in front of Consort Yuanshu's bed, he saw that the person on the bed still had her eyes open, but her condition was a bit weak. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
"Beloved consort! Why are you doing this? " He strode forward and sat next to Consort Yuanshu's bed, "You didn't come to see zhen, but instead sought death in the palace? Tell me, who exactly bullied you? "
When Consort Yuanshu saw Tianwu, she began to cry. She grabbed Emperor Tianwu's hand and looked at Zhang Yuan with a pair of resentful eyes … …
