Ferocious Princess - C360 Rushing into the palace
“After all what?” Shangguan Minghao was really looking forward to his next statement, as if he felt that this was very important.
“After all, this National Lord Wei is constantly paying attention to the movements of the Emperor, so Master had Great General Zhuo stand guard at the border and then came back alone!” Han didn’t hesitate at all.
Shangguan Minghao understood, but he knew that his leaving the palace would definitely arouse the empress dowager’s displeasure, so he casually tossed out a jade pendant.
“Have him come see me tonight!”
Han Qian reacted quickly and caught the jade pendant. The last time, this jade pendant had saved Fei Yan’s life, and it seemed to be very important. After he said his farewells to the Emperor, he flew away, leaving the palace without any obstruction.
“In reply to Master, the Emperor gave this jade pendant to your subordinate, asking you to meet him at the Imperial Palace. He seems to have some concerns about coming out!” When Han returned, he did not slacken in the slightest and quickly told Zhuo Lei the news. Obviously, Zhuo Lei was very anxious right now.
Zhuo Lei received the jade pendant, it seemed that he really had some fate with it. Otherwise, with such a jade pendant, his little sister would probably be trapped in some unknown situation, he did not know how much regret he would have if he was a little later.
“You have to keep in contact with Zhuo Jun at all times. This is an extraordinary period, I do not want any mishaps to happen.”
“Yes sir!” Han naturally knew what time it was, and knew how crucial this was. However, he only knew that one thing was, that Zhuo Lei had actually revealed his true identity at this time, whether it was a little inappropriate or not.
Zhuo Lei was thinking about how he should explain his words to Shangguan Minghao tonight.
According to Shangguan Minghao’s request, at night, Zhuo Lei led Han to Shangguan Minghao’s Imperial study with a jade pendant.
“Your humble name greets the Emperor!” Zhuo Lei was still very respectful, as his Zhuo Family had been loyal to him for generations after all.
“I heard that you wanted to see me, and you actually ordered your subordinates to barge into the palace without hesitation!” Shangguan Minghao went straight to the point, with no intention to make a wrong turn.
Zhuo Lei laughed, looked at Shangguan Minghao and said, “The emperor knows that this commoner has gone to the border, so his appearance here is definitely related to the border matter.
Shangguan Minghao looked at Zhuo Lei who was speaking casually, retracted his gaze and said: “If that’s the case, then tell us about the situation over there, we will not let the criminals off so easily!” As Shangguan Minghao said this, he became somewhat excited.
Zhuo Lei told Shangguan Minghao about the situation he had followed the last time, and when the National Lord Wei had started fighting, without holding back.
The more he said it, the more Shangguan Minghao became excited, “Hmph, this National Lord Wei is so cunning, do you really think that we have no one else?” Shangguan Minghao became excited, and slapped the table with his palm.
The entire Imperial study trembled in fear. Zhuo Lei remained calm as he looked at Shangguan Minghao, “Your majesty, don’t worry. Our Zhuo Family will definitely be loyal to your majesty!” Since the emperor already knew of his identity, Zhuo Lei didn’t need to hide it, and spoke with determination.
Shangguan Minghao looked at Zhuo Lei’s sudden change in attitude, and turned to look at him, “Hmph, Zhuo Lei, do you know your crime!?”
Zhuo Lei was startled and quickly kneeled in front of Shangguan Minghao, “This commoner doesn’t know, please speak frankly!”
When Shangguan Minghao heard Zhuo Lei’s words, his anger did not simmer any longer. “Then let me tell you this, can it be considered deceit for you to hide your identity from us?”
“Reporting to the Emperor, this subject has never hidden anything. The first time we met the Emperor, the Emperor did not ask about this subject’s identity. After that, Fei Yan also told the Emperor about this layer of identity, which perhaps made the Emperor unhappy!” When she thought about how Fei Yan was not Zhuo Lei’s younger sister last time, but Fei Yan herself had told him about it last time, Shangguan Minghao’s face became a little ugly.
“It’s best not to make these mistakes. At that time, I won’t be able to guarantee that your heads will be on your own!” Shangguan Minghao stared at Zhuo Lei and said.
Zhuo Lei didn’t know where Shangguan Minghao’s enmity towards him came from, and he was a little puzzled, but he had an even more important question to ask, “Your Majesty, this subject has a feeling, I hope Your Majesty can agree to it!”
Shangguan Minghao slowly retracted his displeasure, which eased the atmosphere a lot. Hearing Zhuo Lei’s request, he sneered in his heart, did he really think that this emperor of his is really useless?
“What is it? “Speak!” Shangguan Minghao said with a voice that was actually a few times louder than before. His aura was also somewhat terrifying.
With regards to Shangguan Minghao’s reaction, Zhuo Lei did not think too much into it. After all, he still had something to request the Emperor, “This commoner heard that little sister Fei Yan was saved by the Emperor and is currently living in his chambers, so I’m afraid that’s not appropriate. This commoner is here to thank the Emperor for his help, but to a woman, living in his quarters is not appropriate!” Zhuo Lei finished what he had said in a single breath.
Hearing Zhuo Lei’s words, Shangguan Minghao’s face turned completely black, his cheeks puffed as though he had been pretending for a long time, “She still hasn’t recovered, let her recover, we will naturally let her out of the palace!” Shangguan Minghao actually did not think this way in his heart.
Actually this was only an excuse. Zhuo Lei was also a man, so he was very clear about Shangguan Minghao’s thoughts, which was why he was even more determined to bring Fei Yan away. He didn’t want Fei Yan to stay in this palace that could kill people without blood.
“Your majesty, since little sister hasn’t recovered yet, now that this commoner has returned, I can take her back home and have a good rest!” Zhuo Lei insisted.
The two men looked at each other as they were a woman. The atmosphere was very different from a hundred years ago, and the entire atmosphere was exceptionally tense.
“The matter that I have decided on has not changed!” Shangguan Minghao reprimanded angrily, retracting his gaze.
Upon hearing the emperor’s words, Zhuo Lei immediately became angry, and thought back to how Fei Yan had suffered before. If not for Shangguan Minghao, how could Fei Yan have lost her memory, and how she was injured multiple times, and how her good nephew had not yet fallen yet. Thinking of this, Zhuo Lei did not compromise at all, “Your Majesty, could it be that you want Fei Yan to be like the Queen at the time, whose whereabouts are unknown, and where even Longzi has disappeared to? You clearly know that the empress dowager cannot tolerate Fei Yan, and if you allow her to do this now, you will only let the empress dowager think of all kinds of ways to humiliate Fei Yan and get rid of him! ”
Zhuo Lei was moved, and told everything he knew back then, “Your majesty, this Fei Yan is no longer the Fei Yan he was before. What more do you want?”
Shangguan Minghao did not notice Zhuo Lei’s last sentence. In his mind, she kept repeating the phrase “Long Zi goes missing”, again and again, but it almost hollowed out his heart. “Are you saying that Fei Yan is pregnant with our child?” Shangguan Minghao actually called out the name that only belonged to him, the Empress.
“Yes!” So, your majesty, please let the current Fei Yan go! ” Zhuo Lei reiterated again.
Shangguan Minghao was a little absent-minded. He did not know whether he was soft-hearted or not, but he actually said “Alright!”
Hearing Shangguan Minghao’s words, Zhuo Lei felt a burst of happiness in his heart. He could finally see Fei Yan again, and he wouldn’t have to suffer anymore.
After Zhuo Lei left, Shangguan Minghao slowly woke up from what had just happened, and started to analyze the words he had said.
Only now did she remember Zhuo Lei’s words, “This Fei Yan is not like Fei Yan!”
That was to say that Zhuo Lei knew that the Queen was called Fei Yan. When Fei Yan went to the Imperial Palace, she had never revealed her name to anyone, but now that Zhuo Lei was so clear about it, it also meant that before the Empress had entered the palace, she and Zhuo Lei might have known each other. Thinking of this, Shangguan Minghao actually felt like he had been deceived.
And the empress was carrying her own child, and even giving birth to it. Who was it? As he carried his own son away, he thought about how he had a child with the empress. A sense of warmth and satisfaction surfaced on Shangguan Minghao’s angry face.
But when he thought about Zhuo Lei’s understanding of the Empress’s identity and how she seemed to know even more than herself about what happened back then, Shangguan Minghao became even angrier. It was impossible for us to let Fei Yan out of the house! With regards to the matter that she had just promised, Shangguan Minghao wanted to go back on his words. He was so angry that he coldly snorted, and now, he even wanted to keep Fei Yan by his side and see how Zhuo Lei was doing.
Shangguan Minghao did not touch Fei Yan, he only let her stay in his own bedroom, but instead went to stay in the Imperial study. He had been very busy recently, so he did not think too much about it.
In such a cold weather, it made Shangguan Minghao’s heart warm. No matter what, even though he had the empress in his heart, he knew that Fei Yan treated him differently. At least when he was together with her, he felt very relaxed, and she treated him differently from the other concubines who agreed with him.
Seeing Fei Yan’s delicate and pretty face, with only her long eyelashes moving occasionally, as if she was dreaming something, Shangguan Minghao smiled and couldn’t help but want to stroke her hand. However, as if he had sensed it, Fei Yan gently turned around and avoided Shangguan Minghao’s hand.
Shangguan Minghao did not mind, and laughed at his mischievousness. Seeing the gloomy weather outside, his sleep actually came. He thought for a bit, then hugged Fei Yan beside Fei Yan and fell asleep!
Inexplicably, Fei Yan felt a heat source coming from his body, and his body unconsciously leaned over. Shangguan Minghao was startled, and felt that there was some kind of reaction in his body, but this was not the time for him to touch her. After she takes care of the National Lord Wei, maybe he would consider taking Fei Yan into her palace too.
Shangguan Minghao felt that this was the only night he would be able to sleep soundly ever since the Queen had left. However, the more peaceful and reluctant he was to sleep, the more he felt that this night would be too short.
When he heard the voice, Shangguan Minghao reluctantly stood up, and lightly pecked Fei Yan on the mouth, and then got up and prepared to go up.
Ah!” So much sleep! ” Fei Yan felt that she had slept soundly last night.
Zi Yan saw that Fei Yan had woken up, and hurried over to serve him. But why does Fei Yan feel that Zi Yan’s gaze towards him was a little strange?
“Zi Yan, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong? ” Fei Yan glanced at Zi Yan and asked indifferently.
Zi Yan paused for a moment, but didn’t seem to have any words to say, “Miss is too worried, what is there to say? I only saw Miss Fei Yan sleep so sweetly last night, so I was happy for you!”
Hearing Zi Yan’s words, Fei Yan did not feel that there was anything wrong, nor did she want to care about it. Today was actually a good day, and she would also treat today’s day well, because…
Zi Yan was only smiling as she looked at Fei Yan, not noticing her abnormality. She was still thinking that it was because of the Emperor that Fei Yan slept exceptionally well last night, which was why she was so happy.
After breakfast, Fei Yan followed Zi Yan and stood in the courtyard, looking at the Plum Blossom that was in full bloom, feeling extremely happy.
