Cold Emperor Loves Consort Ardently - C140
His body was getting better somewhat slowly, probably because of the cold weather, but Lin Luoshui said that it was better to walk around and recover from his wounds.
These two days, he had been very busy. He had always been sent a meal by his father-in-law, but he never saw anyone.
I think it will be March soon. He has to prepare for the future.
Queen, the highest position in the harem, the one that can accompany him at any time, the one whose name can be placed alongside him, can never belong to me.
I don’t have a family background, and I don’t have any merits, but Li Fei wants the empress.
Lin Luoshui came to take my pulse and see how my body was doing, but to me, he wasn’t as easygoing as before. He was very respectful, and he didn’t waste a single word of nonsense.
I found something for my aunt to do. I looked at him and said, “Is it that we can’t be friends now that he’s gone?”
He smiled and said, “How dare I? How can I have a higher position than Lady Yi? Lady Yi’s body is recovering slowly, but it’s already much better.”
Alas, it seemed that it was so. There was bound to be gains and losses.
After becoming a good person and Wan Yi, he would not have many friends that he could talk to easily.
I looked down at the handkerchief and said, “No matter what I am, I am Yun Zhiqiu.”
“Rest more, don’t waste your breath.” He said six words and left without saying anything else.
I watched him leave in such a hurry, as if I were a troublemaker, not to see more, a little sad.
“Empress, you want some money?”
“Just leave it, I don’t want to embroider anything now.”
She said with some concern, “The Empress must not worry. The snow is melting and the cold is very strong. Do not let the evil Qi invade.”
I said sorrowfully, “It’s fine. It’s all because of aunt. I’m in great health.” Those superficial wounds required time, and those internal injuries needed time to be forgotten.
A few ladies came in with plum blossoms and put them in vases, saying that these were the latest plum blossoms of the year and would not be seen again until winter.
Quietly, without realizing it, the years had passed.
The reason for this was because his aunt said, “Empress, when the plum blossoms fall, there are still evening pear blossoms. When the evening pear falls, there will be peach blossoms and crabapple blossoms.”
I smiled. “Aunty, you are so attentive! You even know what I am thinking. What kind of flowers are they? They don’t know how to talk. You are really just a flower of interpretation.”
She was a little scared and bent down. “Your servant spoke too much.”
“Don’t always be so courteous, aren’t you just a Flower of Interpretation? You are good-looking, have knowledge, and can see your wisdom and purity in your eyes. ” No matter what I thought, she always easily guessed that it would help me.
Her shoulders trembled, but she respectfully replied, “I don’t dare.”
I liked her a lot, and she was only a few years older than I was, but she was very well-behaved and neither humble nor haughty.
The palace maid suddenly came in to report, “Empress, the emperor has sent someone to pick up esteemed Empress Li and bring her to her palace.”
“Now? It’s almost time for the Empress to eat lunch. ” The reason was asked by his aunt.
“Yes, the eunuch said right now.”
I stood up. “Then let’s go now.”
The reason why he said this was because he was very calm, “Empress, your servant has combed your hair. The Emperor gave you a peacock cloak of purple and gold, light and warm.”
No matter what time, if there was a reason, she would be able to take care of me and help me to walk out slowly.
I don’t know why he called me to Li Fei Palace, but when I went in, it was filled with guards with sabers, and the air was filled with a cold and fierce scent.
He had a face full of frost, so majestic that one would not dare to be polite, but the usually haughty and noble Madame Li was now kneeling on the floor, her gorgeous face devoid of any color. She was kneeling on the floor and kowtowing over and over again, “Your majesty, chenqie doesn’t know at all that chenqie definitely didn’t harm Yuncai.”
I was startled, but the reason why he helped me to walk over to the emperor’s side made me realize that the current him couldn’t be considered the usual him. He’s an emperor, and there’s even his subjects and concubines here. I bowed towards him, and he said lightly, “Yun Wanyi, the reason I’ve asked you to come today is to let you know that it was Li Fei who carried some poison in her heart and killed your child.”
Li Fei raised her head with tears streaming down her face, “Your majesty, chenqie doesn’t have one, chenqie doesn’t. The palace maids by chenqie’s side, the mama, the imperial guards, and all the other sisters can testify for chenqie.”
“To testify? If a person is dirty and obtains something, I have never treated your Li Clan wrongly. His face was so cold and angry that I did not recognize him.
My heart couldn’t help but tremble as I felt pain. Looking at Li Fei who was kneeling on the ground, an indescribable coldness assaulted my bones.
Was it her? It was because she was jealous of how the emperor doted on me and acted viciously. It was only an unformed child, and it was unknown whether it was a man or a woman.
“Your Majesty, chenqie really doesn’t have a concubine. Even if chenqie had the guts to do so, chenqie wouldn’t dare to do so. chenqie admits that chenqie is jealous of her beloved by the emperor, but no matter what, chenqie is still better than her. Why would chenqie do such a foolish thing?”
“Do you still dare to quibble?” He coldly snorted, pointed at someone and said, “Lord Yang, speak.”
It was a very familiar stranger. He took a step forward and said respectfully, “Your subject has already found out that there are bold people, and they are the secret assassins raised by the Li family. The Li family has ruled the capital for many years, and General Li had brought people back from the borders during New Year’s, not daring to alert His Majesty. I hate that Li Xiangguo was so cruel and merciless that he caused Lady Wan Yi to suffer. ”
“No, no, Your Majesty.” Li Fei cried until her face was filled with tears. It was extremely pitiful, and she did not have her usual haughty and domineering attitude.
“This is the evidence.” I looked at the black clothes and the blood-stained sabers. I couldn’t help but feel weak on the ground. I held my hand tightly for a reason and asked her to support me.
“Prime Minister Li and General Li have both been sentenced to jail and have confessed to every crime.” Minister Yang added, “Regarding the assassination of Lady Wanyi, they have to admit to it.”
Was this the truth? But I actually want to cry. Some jealousy can reach such a degree of power, and only the Li family would dare to do such a thing.
Li Fei’s eyes were filled with tears, and the sound of their fall echoed through the air. She kowtowed until her forehead turned bright red, “Your majesty, chenqie truly doesn’t dare. “Chenqie entered the palace for six years. She followed the emperor from when he was still a prince to become a crown prince and ascended the throne to become emperor. After so many years, the emperor is most aware of the feelings chenqie had towards the emperor.”
“Don’t mention it to me.” He pointed coldly. “You are not worthy.”
He was angry, his chest heaving, and his father-in-law behind him went forward to gently smooth his back, smoothing out his emotions. Eunuch Yang said sternly, “Esteemed wangfei, did Imperial Concubine suddenly faint in the first two years of junior year? You told Esteemed wangyi not to go worship Buddha.”
“Yes.” Li Fei nodded, then said anxiously, “If I knew what would happen, I wouldn’t have let them go back even if I were beaten to death.”
“One: Your subordinate found a scented sachet in Imperial Concubine’s sedan. It contains some extremely intoxicating medicine. It can only be found in the capital’s most remote crabapple shop. The little girl from the Li Residence bought it.” Second: Why were there so many people, yet Empress Li would call upon esteemed wangyi to send the imperial concubine back? This matter wasn’t unknown. The emperor doted on Esteemed Empress Wan Yi the most, so he asked her to break the rules and pay respects to Buddha. Madame Li had already stopped the emperor, so she must be filled with hatred for the Li family and wanted them to kill Esteemed Wan Yi on the Peach Blossom Mountain. “The Li family is unable to see this, yet you dare to commit such a heinous act in broad daylight? This subject requests that the Emperor severely punish the Li family.”
He said he was going to do things methodically, one by one, but it sounded like the Lee family was going to hurt me, and I felt like, no.
Li Fei looked at the emperor, her eyes still filled with tears. She couldn’t say a single word, but she could only smile.
“Do you have anything else to say?” The Emperor asked coldly.
“Chenqie has been in the palace for a long time and has long known the customs of the palace. Since the emperor doesn’t want Chenqie to stay, it can be said that Lord Yang has put in a lot of effort to teach Chenqie to never argue. He can only say that the punishment for wanting to add to the crime is to have no words to say.”
She said something that made my heart tremble, and I chewed her words, and I realized that I didn’t hate her, and my instincts told me that it wasn’t her.
“Alright, someone, beat Li Fei out of prison and interrogate her.” He ordered without mercy.
Li Fei looked at the few concubines behind him, then held her bulging stomach with one hand as she let out a long sigh before closing her eyes in despair.
The imperial guards pounced on her, wanting to take her away. I heard myself say in a trembling voice, “Your majesty, please spare Madame Li. Madame Li is still pregnant for a few months, you absolutely can’t go to that prison and be sentenced to death.”
His face was filled with surprise and puzzlement. “Zhiqiu, you know what you’re talking about?”
“I know what I’m talking about and doing. Your majesty, please, for the sake of the many years of Li Fei serving you, for the sake of the fetus in her womb, spare Lady Li.”
Li Fei looked at me in disbelief, her eyes still sharp and clear. “Enough, Yun Zhiqiu. It’s not my turn to beg a lowly person like you.”
I kneeled down and prayed to the emperor, “May Your Majesty forgive Lady Li. It’s just that the Li family did something wrong, so it has nothing to do with them.”
What’s the point of her? She’s going to be the queen in March, and if she wants to kill me, there’s plenty of opportunities. Why would she stay outside, even if the medicines have to be in the Imperial Consort’s palanquin?
Perhaps it was because the emperor had also calmed down a bit, but when his gaze fell upon Li Fei’s stomach, she saw that she had a chance to live and immediately begged for mercy with tears and snot flowing down her face.
Only after a long while did he give the order to cripple Li Fei’s title and send her to the cold palace.
This was truly amazing news. The once overweeningly arrogant Li Fei had a beautiful appearance and a proud family background. She was only one step away from the empress, but in the end, she still ended up in the cold palace.
Holding on to the reason behind his hand, he walked up to the Moon Viewing Hall and softly said, “The Empress really shouldn’t have pleaded for mercy for her.”
Seeing the willow branches that had already turned green, the snow and water on the surface of the lake’s surface grew cold. “I know what I shouldn’t have said, but I know the reason even now. I know very well that it wasn’t planned by Empress Li, and no one will use a rock to smash their own feet.”
To be assassinated outside the palace by the Northwest Army of the Li Family, what a big thing! Was there a need to cause such a stir?
The reason why she looked at me thoughtfully was that she thought, “The Empress is really kind-hearted.”
This isn’t a good thing. I feel that she is extremely pitiful. No matter how much power the Li family wields, they are still idiots. I only heard a few words and the entire palace went into an uproar, but I didn’t know why I was sighing. I can guess that the Li family will collapse in the next moment. That extremely glorious position will no longer exist. But I don’t want to think too much about it. It has nothing to do with me.
He ate alone and fed himself to his fill, not even taking a single step into the Moon Viewing Hall for three days.
If he’s blaming me for pleading for mercy on behalf of Li Fei, that means I believe that Li Fei is innocent. And I was thinking, “Is he really so heartless that he doesn’t even care about his children?”
Six years, ah, she said she served him for six years, how many years are there for a woman? When we were in the main palace, he quarrelled with Li Fei, and I thought it was because of her battle spirit. Now that I think about it, it must have been disgust in her eyes. At that time, I thought that Li Fei was really not smart enough. Now that I think about what happened to her, it can only mean that the palace is really very unromantic.
There are a lot of things I don’t want to think about. I just want to live my life in peace.
March was almost over. After the snow had melted, a warm current followed. The Moon Observation Hall was still cold from standing on the water. The Peach Blossom Pavilion was followed by a large vase of peach blossoms.
The spring light outside was very good, and the green smoke was flowing everywhere.
I stood on tiptoe, my fingers wet, and tried to wave at the tall peach blossom.
A big bracelet around my waist, holding me up a little bit, easy to swing the water up.
“Little thing.” He was in a very good mood as he shouted, “I’m in a good mood all by myself.”
The tip of his foot touched the ground as he stood still. He turned around and smiled at him. “The emperor always comes in this way without any sound, which gave me a fright.”
Her handsome face was very close, and her breath was on my face. Her dark and smiling eyes were filled with admiration and pride. “Did anyone tell Lady Wan Yi that you are becoming more and more beautiful?”
He tilted his head back and smiled mischievously, “I know I’m getting more and more good-looking. Women change at eighteen.”
He grabbed my waist and did not let me escape. “Eighteen transformations, you shameless little thing.”
