Chu Xiang's hunch was right. At dusk the next day, the Emperor's head eunuch came to the Cold Palace with more than a dozen palace maids.
Chu Xiang heard the noise in advance and lay on the bed. As soon as Zi Yu saw them, it anxiously said, "Gonggong, my master's illness is better. It's not contagious. Can you ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?"
The head eunuch waved his hand, and the two palace maids immediately entered to examine Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang pretended to be extremely weak. She used her spiritual energy to run rampant in her body, causing the palace maids to be unable to diagnose her pulse.
The two palace maids looked at each other and looked at Chu Xiang's appearance. They said, "Gonggong, Madam Chu fell ill from worry. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to recover. However, if she takes the above good medicine to nourish her body, she may have a chance to recover. "
No matter what happened after the event, they would have an excuse to shirk the responsibility.
The head eunuch nodded and looked around the room in the Cold Palace. He ordered, "Take Madam Chu to bathe and change clothes."
"Yes." More than a dozen palace maids responded in unison and stepped forward to pull Chu Xiang.
Zi Yu guarded in front of the bed and said nervously, "What are you doing? Where are you taking my master? "
Chu Xiang coughed twice and covered her mouth with a handkerchief. She looked at them and guessed what they would encounter.
The head eunuch said coldly, "Hurry up. His Majesty and the Duke of Qin are still waiting." He couldn't stand the musty smell in the room. He raised his hand to fan his nose and turned to leave the room.
When Chu Xiang heard the two words "the Duke of Qin", she guessed that this matter must have something to do with the Duke of Qin saving her. She secretly pinched Zi Yu's hand, signaling it to calm down.
Zi Yu turned around to help her. She grabbed Zi Yu's hand and stood up, pulling Zi Yu along. A palace maid went out to report. The head eunuch didn't care and said, "Then let Zi Yu follow."
Chu Xiang was escorted by the palace maids to the nearest palace, where hot water was already prepared. They quickly and carefully gave her a petal bath and dressed her up.
Chu Xiang asked when they were busy, "Where are we going?"
The palace maids acted as if they hadn't heard anything. They kept their mouths shut and only cared about dressing her up. Chu Xiang didn't ask anymore. Anyway, she would know when she saw him.
The head chamberlain took Chu Xiang's illness into consideration and asked someone to carry her away on a bamboo chair. A group of people hurriedly walked towards the banquet hall. The Emperor, Empress, Hui Fei, Qin Wang, and some important officials were all there, watching the dancers dance.
The chamberlain bowed slightly and walked to the Emperor's side. He said, "Your Majesty, this servant has brought Madam Chu. Madam Chu has just recovered from her illness and doesn't seem to be in good spirits."
Imperial Concubine Hui looked behind him and didn't see anyone. She held the emperor's arm and smiled, "Your Majesty, is Sister Chu here? Quickly, let her come over. This concubine hasn't seen her in a long time. I miss her. "
The emperor held his wine cup and said with a smile, "Imperial Uncle, Madam Chu is sick. She is very unlucky. Zhen thinks these dancers are good. Why don't we give them to Imperial Uncle so that he can take them back? "
Li Bohan leaned comfortably on the soft chair and stared at the dancers. He said casually, "Does this prince lack dancers? Only the number one beauty is worthy of this prince's attention. What, nephew can't bear to part with her? That's fine. The one beside you … what's her name again? Hui Fei, Hui Fei is also good. "
The Emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at him. He suddenly laughed, "Good, zhen likes Imperial Uncle's true temperament. He's not like those hypocritical idiots who only know how to flatter zhen. Come, send Madam Chu to Imperial Uncle and let him take a good look. "
Hui Fei's stiff expression eased a little. She put on a smile again and watched the show. She had heard that the Qin Wang was very strong and cruel. She didn't know if Chu Xiang, who was dying of illness, would be beaten to death.
Chu Xiang was helped into the hall by Zi Yu and was brought directly to Li Bohan. She slowly raised her head and met Li Bohan's gaze. She clearly saw that Li Bohan was stunned for a moment.
The original owner's appearance was very beautiful. Previously, when she was in the Cold Palace, she didn't show it. Now that she had specially dressed up, she really shocked everyone.
Especially since she was a waste concubine, she couldn't wear bright clothes. She only wore a simple blue dress with her hair tied up in a simple bun. Her jewelry was only a silver hairpin and a pair of silver earrings. It was very plain. However, this dress made her look even more beautiful. She had a kind of sickly beauty. Compared to the meticulously dressed Empress and Hui Fei, she was even more beautiful.
Li Bohan stared at her face and drank the wine in his cup. He threw the cup away and stood up to pull her into his arms. He touched her face and said carelessly, "This skin is really much better than others. Nephew, you really don't know how to enjoy it. How can such a beauty wither in the Cold Palace? You should hold her in your arms every day. "
The emperor glanced at Chu Xiang and smiled carelessly, "If Imperial Uncle likes it, then Chu Clan will be given to Imperial Uncle. Imperial Uncle, women can't be enjoyed just by looking at their faces. You also need to know how to serve them. Don't blame Nephew for not reminding you. This Chu Clan is just a block of wood. It's very boring. Only her face is worth looking at. "
"Whether it's fun or not, you have to try it to know. Since Nephew is so kind, Benwang will kindly accept it. Come, cheers." Li Bohan casually threw Chu Xiang onto the seat. He didn't have any tender feelings for the fairer sex and drank the wine in one gulp.
Just as the emperor was about to drink, Hui Fei smiled from the side, "Emperor, I really didn't expect Sister Chu to have such good fortune. No matter what, she is someone that Chenqie cares about. In the future, if she returns to the camp with Qin Wang, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see her again. Emperor, do you think … you should give Sister Chu a status? "
The emperor hugged her and kissed her face. He laughed and said, "Beloved concubine's words are reasonable. Imperial Uncle is about the same age as Zhen, but he hasn't married Qin Wangfei yet. Since Imperial Uncle likes Chu Clan's face, Zhen will bestow her to you as Qin Wangfei, okay? "
It was the greatest insult for the emperor to bestow a wasted concubine to Imperial Uncle as a wangfei. The ministers present all looked at Li Bohan. This was also a person who didn't care about anything. He shouldn't go against the emperor.
Who knew that Li Bohan didn't care at all. He sat back down on the soft chair and hugged Chu Xiang. He tilted his body and said, "As you wish. Wangfei and concubines are still women. What's the difference? It'll save Mufei from nagging by Benwang's ear. "
The emperor glanced at him, "Alright, then Zhen will help you fulfill your wish. However, Chu Clan's father has already become a prisoner. I'm afraid … "
Li Bohan waved his hand, "What does her father have to do with Benwang? Benwang doesn't care about that old face. "
The smile on the emperor's face deepened. He said with satisfaction, "That's good. Come, today will be Imperial Uncle's big day. Beloved ministers, let's wish Imperial Uncle a happy wife!"
The ministers all felt this was absurd, but no one dared to raise an objection. They all raised their cups and smiled, saying auspicious words.
Chu Xiang lowered her eyes and obediently leaned into Li Bohan's arms. She tried to lower her presence as much as possible. Whether she could leave the palace or not depended on this. There couldn't be any mistakes. Li Bohan was really good at enduring. The emperor directly humiliated him again and again, but he could still pretend that he didn't understand and didn't care. No one could see any flaws.
She raised her eyes to look at Li Bohan. It just so happened that Li Bohan's lowered eyes met hers. The ministers were still congratulating him. He lowered his head and roughly kissed Chu Xiang, passing a mouthful of strong wine to Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang was caught off guard and coughed. Li Bohan laughed, "Many thanks nephew. Benwang will go back first. Every moment is worth a thousand gold and can't be delayed. Hahaha. "
Li Bohan picked up Chu Xiang by the waist and walked out without waiting for the emperor's permission. Zi Yu, who had been tense the entire time, quickly lowered her head and followed.
The emperor drank the wine in his cup and didn't stop them. For a ridiculous Imperial Uncle who wasn't a threat at all, if he could use a beauty to make him even more ridiculous, that would be the best. Moreover, it was rare to have such a fun Imperial Uncle who wasn't afraid of him. It was just a woman he didn't want. If she was taken away, then so be it.
Imperial Concubine Hui was half lying in the emperor's arms and gave a reproachful smile, "Emperor, why did you let them go? This concubine still wanted to toast Big Sister Chu. Although she hasn't treated this concubine well, this concubine still remembers her good deeds. It's rare to see each other, so we should talk about the past. "
A trace of sarcasm flashed through the emperor's eyes. Like Li Bohan, he raised his head and took a mouthful of wine to Imperial Concubine Hui's mouth. Imperial Concubine Hui coughed loudly and her cheeks were red. The emperor laughed and hugged her intimately, "My beloved concubine is always so kind. Let's go, return to the palace with zhen. Zhen also wants to see if this moment is worth a thousand gold."
The emperor got up and took Imperial Concubine Hui's wrist to leave. The empress sat on the side with a pale face and fire in her eyes. She stared at Imperial Concubine Hui's back as if she wanted to burn a hole in her.
Imperial Concubine Hui finally stopped coughing. She didn't care about this almost humiliating attitude. In any case, she was already Imperial Concubine Hui and the emperor's favorite. Except for the emperor, no one dared to look down on her.
She urged in her mind, [Use the fiery and lingering function, quick.]
[Host, the fiery and lingering function has been used.]
Imperial Concubine Hui felt a fire coming out of her body. As soon as she entered the palace, her hands climbed up the emperor's chest like snakes. The emperor cursed in a low voice, picked up Imperial Concubine Hui, and quickly went to the dragon bed.
The chamberlain was already used to it. He waved his hand and all the palace servants retreated and stood guard at the door. Hearing the playful laughter inside, he had no expression on his face, but he felt that Imperial Concubine Hui was very lucky. A palace maid actually had such good fortune. If she gave birth to a prince, her future position would be stable. Unlike him, who worked hard and trembled in fear to serve the emperor. He also had to serve this charming master. They really had different lives.
On the emperor's side, Chu Xiang and Li Bohan were sitting on opposite sides of the carriage.
Li Bohan put his arm on the low table and looked at her with a smile as he said, "Ben wang didn't break his promise, right? I saved you in the beginning. How will you repay ben wang? "
Chu Xiang poured herself a cup of tea to drink, "I saved wang ye first. Wang ye is just returning." She coughed a few times in discomfort. The wine just now had burned her throat.
Li Bohan looked at her, "You really choked? Ben wang was too lazy to listen to their chatter, so I found an excuse to come out. Who knew that you couldn't even drink a sip of wine? Are you really sick? "
"My body is fine." Chu Xiang said with a faint smile, "I still haven't congratulated wang ye on marrying a wang fei. This matter was outside of wang ye's expectations. Do you regret your actions today?"
Li Bohan said with a headache, "It really is a bit troublesome. My mufei has been urging me to marry and have children for a long time. She has always been looking at the daughters of noble families. When she goes back this time, she will definitely nag ben wang." He looked at Chu Xiang's calm appearance and joked, "You're lucky. Letting an abandoned concubine like you become ben wang's official fei, are you happy?"
Chu Xiang looked at him and said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "It should be wang ye. Today, you accidentally calmed the emperor's heart. I am a great contributor, so I don't feel guilty sitting in the position of wang fei. If wang ye has someone to marry in the future, I'll just change my name and fake my death. You also think this, right? "
"He, you're quite insightful. You really don't seem like someone who would be thrown into the cold palace." Li Bohan held the teacup as he looked at her, his eyes full of inquiry.
