Xiao Yuanzhao found that the more he understood Chu Xiang, the less he understood Chu Xiang. She was like a thick history book that people couldn't understand completely. The more he read, the more he couldn't help but want to understand more.
Another important point was, what were the loopholes in his palace? Why could the imperial gui fei leave whenever she wanted? If the assassins knew about this, wouldn't they be able to enter and leave the palace at any time?
Xiao Yuanzhao worked harder than before. He woke up earlier and went to bed later. He even took an hour to practice martial arts every day, just in case.
Chu Xiang just wanted to be in love with him. She was surprised to find that he was so busy that he didn't have time to talk about love. She used to think that being the emperor was boring. He had to care about so many messy things. He couldn't even eat the dishes he liked. Now it seemed that it was true. It was so miserable to be the emperor. The new emperor she liked was so miserable.
Chu Xiang decided to help him. After all, he was the boyfriend she wanted to spoil. How could she bear to let him suffer alone? Wasn't it just the Prince Regent? If she took him down openly, she would have to go to war and lose a lot of money. However, she could get rid of him secretly!
Chu Xiang was too bored after recuperating for so long. She went to the study and suddenly became interested in medicine and pharmacology. She began to read medical books. She even ordered people to take out the herbs in the storeroom and make a pharmacy. She fiddled with the herbs inside every day.
Xiao Yuanzhao felt a chill down his spine when he found out. He suddenly thought of the day when he teased Chu Xiang to stay overnight. Chu Xiang said in her heart that if he stayed, she would drug him!
Chu Xiang definitely knew pharmacology. If she did this, she might cause some trouble again. He summoned a secret guard and asked with a frown, "Have you investigated the imperial gui fei's life? When did she learn pharmacology? "
The secret guard answered honestly, "I was worried about alerting the enemy. I didn't investigate to the deepest part. The imperial gui fei's words and actions in the boudoir before she entered the palace are incomplete."
Xiao Yuanzhao thought that Chu Xiang was mysterious. Maybe she had some secret forces. If he continued to investigate, he would alert the enemy, so he gave up. He only said, "Keep an eye on the Chu family. If the Chu family and the imperial gui fei do anything strange, report to me immediately."
"Yes!"
The secret guard responded and left, but Xiao Yuanzhao could not calm down. He wanted to know where the loophole was from Chu Xiang, but he couldn't ask directly. He had already sent people to investigate the palace many times, but they had not found any problems. After thinking about it, the fastest way to find out was to listen to Chu Xiang's thoughts from time to time.
When Xiao Yuanzhao thought of this, his first reaction was that Chu Xiang would definitely take advantage of him. Then, he was secretly annoyed. How could he be assimilated by Chu Xiang? When the two of them were together, it was obvious that Chu Xiang was at a disadvantage. Why would he be afraid of taking advantage of her?
Liang Zhong looked at him sitting there alone, frowning one moment, smiling the next, and then getting angry the next. He silently lowered his head and held back his laughter.
Xiao Yuanzhao pondered for a while, then asked somewhat angrily: "Liang Zhong, why is your imperial gui fei so annoying?"
Liang Zhong had been with him for a long time, so his words were more intimate. Hearing this, he moved closer and said with a smile: "It's not that imperial gui fei is annoying, it's that Emperor cares about imperial gui fei, so you always think about her. This servant congratulates Emperor on his great joy. Emperor has opened his heart and put imperial gui fei in his heart! "
"What?" Xiao Yuanzhao looked at Liang Zhong like he was looking at an idiot. He had clearly discovered Chu Xiang's plan to leave the palace and those messy thoughts in his mind. How was this opening his heart? He frowned and waved his hand, ordering Liang Zhong to withdraw. He was too lazy to explain to him.
Everyone else had been deceived by Chu Xiang's appearance and could not understand him. Even his own brother, Chu Ze, could not understand.
This feeling of being the only one sober when everyone was drunk was too depressing.
Because Chu Xiang was fiddling with the herbs, Xiao Yuanzhao was afraid that she would drug him. So when he entered Taihe Palace, he immediately held Chu Xiang's hand and did not let go.
Every time Xiao Yuanzhao came, he would hold Chu Xiang's hand. Chu Xiang was confused at the beginning, but now she was used to it. She just thought that he wanted to use the excuse of being obsessed with beauty to fool the Regent.
But today, she held a book in one hand and sorted the herbs with the other. Xiao Yuanzhao actually took the book in her hand and read it with her. Then — — he held one of her hands.
Wasn't this a bit strange? Did he have skin craving disease?
Chu Xiang discreetly looked at Xiao Yuanzhao. Xiao Yuanzhao felt her suspicion and his heart tightened. But he felt that Chu Xiang was too mysterious. If she secretly drugged him, then wouldn't he fall for it? He would feel uneasy if he didn't hold her hand!
Also, what did skin craving disease mean? He felt that Chu Xiang was scolding him in her heart again.
Chu Xiang probed, "Your Majesty, I'm fiddling with the herbs. It's very boring. You can go sit over there."
Even if Xiao Yuanzhao knew that she was testing him, he didn't want to let go. He had an idea and thought of Liang Zhong's words about him being enlightened. He turned to Chu Xiang and smiled, "One day apart is like three autumns. How can zhen be willing to be so far away from my beloved concubine? Zhen finally finished a busy day, so zhen must be close to my beloved concubine. "
Chu Xiang blinked. Didn't she want to be in a relationship with him? He was here now.
Without waiting for Xiao Yuanzhao to understand the meaning of "falling in love", Chu Xiang threw away the medicinal herbs and called someone to clean her hands. She raised her head and smiled at Xiao Yuanzhao: "Then it's not easy for the Emperor to come, I won't do these things. Let's go to the Imperial Garden. Ask someone to get a boat. We'll play in the lake for a while and come back to eat when it's dark. How about it? "
Xiao Yuanzhao didn't hear anything else in her heart. He knew that she was acting the same on the outside and hesitantly nodded.
Liang Zhong immediately asked someone to arrange it. Chu Xiang and Xiao Yuanzhao walked hand in hand in the Imperial Palace. When the palace servants saw this, they all lowered their heads in shock. They thought that the Emperor really doted on the Imperial Gui Fei. They even had to walk hand in hand after leaving Taihe Palace!
Xiao Yuanzhao felt uncomfortable all over, but now that he shook off Chu Xiang, he felt that it was very strange. He could only grit his teeth and endure everyone's gazes.
When they reached the lakeside, Chu Xiang had the palace servants wait a bit further away. She then got on the boat with Xiao Yuanzhao. Once she got on, she sat next to Xiao Yuanzhao and leaned on his chest. She pointed at the mandarin ducks in the distance, "Emperor, you row the boat. We'll go over there to see the mandarin ducks. I heard that you know how to play the flute. Can you play a song for me? "
Xiao Yuanzhao could feel that Chu Xiang was in a good mood. What she said was the same as what she thought. This made his somewhat tense mood completely relax. A smile also appeared on his lips. He followed Chu Xiang's intentions and rowed the boat over. Then, he held her in his arms and played the jade flute.
On the lake, the Emperor was handsome and the Imperial Gui Fei was gentle and beautiful. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They snuggled together with the mandarin ducks beside them. It was as if they were a pair, the best match in the world.
Xi Fei, who had rushed over after hearing the news, saw this scene. Her eyes turned red from jealousy as she stared at the man and woman on the lake.
Even if she worked for the Regent, she had been in the palace for more than a year. How could she not be moved by such an outstanding Emperor? She even secretly thought that she wanted to help the Emperor and tell the Emperor some of the Regent's plans.
But the Emperor didn't give her any face. He didn't favor her even once and even disliked her approach.
These days, she had always heard that the Emperor favored the Imperial Gui Fei. She didn't believe it in her heart. The Emperor didn't even like her, so how could he like Chu Xiang? Especially after Minister Chu overthrew her father, she didn't believe in this so-called "favor" even more. She believed that the Emperor favored Chu Xiang because he wanted Minister Chu to be loyal. It wasn't true at all.
But what was she seeing now? The Emperor was holding Chu Xiang and rowing the boat on the lake. He was blowing the flute for her and looking at her with such a gentle gaze. It was clear that his heart was moved by her!
Why could Chu Xiang get what she couldn't get so easily? She couldn't accept it! She couldn't accept it!
She stroked the cat that she had specially trained in her arms. The corner of her mouth lifted slightly. She pretended that her hand had slipped and dropped the cat. The cat instantly jumped into the flowers and disappeared without a trace.
Imperial Concubine Xi was surprised and chased after it a few steps. She pretended to be unhappy and vented her anger on the palace maid. However, she seemed to be more angry at the Emperor for favoring the Imperial Gui Fei. After a few words, she angrily left and only told the palace maid to find the cat.
While she was making a ruckus to attract everyone's attention, her personal palace maid was on the other side of the lake and was quietly diving into the water.
This palace maid was very good at swimming. When Imperial Concubine Xi heard that the Emperor and the Imperial Gui Fei were rowing on the lake alone, she sent her over. Although it wasn't the original plan, it would be a pity to miss such a good opportunity. The palace maid's entire family was in the hands of Imperial Concubine Xi, so she didn't dare to disobey her orders. She didn't even dare to do a bad job. Even if she was very afraid, she still swam steadily towards the boat. She held an incomparably sharp dagger in her hand and a bottle of highly poisonous crane red.
Stabbing the dagger and pouring the poison. The Emperor was so far away from the shore, so he should die. And she, wearing the clothes of the Imperial Gui Fei's palace maid, would destroy her own appearance and commit suicide. No one would know who she was.
Although the plan was rushed and crude, as long as the Emperor died, no one would pursue this matter. The Regent would definitely protect Imperial Concubine Xi. The Qi Family would definitely recover. Then all of her family members would be able to live well.
The palace maid closed her eyes and made a decision. She gripped the weapon in her hand and prepared to flip the boat over. The moment the Emperor fell into the water, she would assassinate him. As for the Imperial Gui Fei, she was a weak woman. She would probably be frightened and choke as soon as she fell into the water. There was nothing to be afraid of.
Chu Xiang hugged Xiao Yuanzhao's waist. After he finished playing a song, she raised her head to look at him and said with a smile: "The Emperor played really well."
Her lips looked so soft. It would definitely be very comfortable to kiss.
Xiao Yuanzhao's expression changed. Looking at Chu Xiang's smiling face, he didn't know how to react. He unconsciously looked at Chu Xiang's lips. They were red and soft. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to kiss her lips?
No! It was fine if he thought about it, but how could a virgin like Chu Xiang think about this kind of thing?
Chu Xiang saw that he kept looking down at her lips. She thought about it. Could it be that he didn't know how to kiss? Meeting such an innocent Emperor, she couldn't just wait for him to do everything. She still had to leave in a while. Therefore, Chu Xiang hugged Xiao Yuanzhao's neck and raised her head to kiss his lips.
Xiao Yuanzhao's entire body froze. Chu Xiang was talking about him in her heart again, saying that he didn't know how to kiss. He didn't even have time to react before she kissed him. His hand that was holding Chu Xiang tightened. Thinking that he didn't know how to kiss Chu Xiang, he closed his eyes and was about to fiercely kiss her.
At this time, the Heaven and Earth Mirror suddenly reacted. There was an assassination attempt in the lake. Chu Xiang suddenly moved back and looked at the lake. She turned around and dived into the bottom of the boat to grab the palace maid's wrist!
Xiao Yuanzhao was stunned. Chu Xiang had moved back. He did not read Chu Xiang's thoughts and did not understand why Chu Xiang would jump into the lake when they had just kissed? Did she really dislike him for not knowing how to kiss???
