Wrong Marry to Cold CEO - C271
This man! A man above ten thousand people! However, he could allow her to play with a child’s temper without reason. He could always patiently indulge her and indulge her. He was right. In front of her, he was not the Emperor, but an ordinary man!
After taking only a few steps, his body once again fell into Yue Ye’s embrace, and in his ear were his small words, “Don’t go, I just invited the painter to come to the Jing Yang Palace, he should be arriving soon.”
“Really?” Xue Fu was ecstatic, he turned and looked straight into his eyes, it was an excited expression.
Finally, there was a matter that made her happy. Yue Ye was even more happy than she was, nodding with a smile. Holding her delicate pancreas in her hand, she moved her finger back and forth on her beautiful and expensive jade bracelet and said: “I originally planned to wait until the blood jade had turned completely blood-red before drawing it, but I can’t wait any longer.”
Xue Fu looked at the blood jade and asked: “You are quite confident, how do you know that the jade can turn red?”
“Because I have the confidence to make its expression change.” Yue Ye smiled evilly and lowered her head to kiss her neck, the fresh stubble on her beard making Xue Fu giggle. While struggling, she pounded his arm with her little fist, “Stop being so shameless. He never said he would fall in love with you, and he will never do that again!”
“Is that so?” Yue Ye laughed as she stood on her feet, looking down at her, and retorted, “Then who was the one that saved me in the Pear Blossom Rain Formation, and who was it who nearly fell off the cliff because he couldn’t bear to hurt me? “Hmm …” “Also, look at this yourself.” Yue Ye held her wrist high, shining it against the outside light.
Xue Fu was originally blushing because of what he said, but after hearing the last part of his words, she started to look at the blood jade that symbolized her identity with suspicion. Under the illumination of the outdoor light, she was surprised to find that the originally white and transparent jade had been dyed with blood. That strand of blood seemed to be alive as it grew within the jade. This was something she had never seen before.
Astonished, she stared at the jade for a long time with a look of disbelief. Beside her, Yue Ye saw her surprise, and proudly smiled, “How about it? You can’t control its growth, just like how you can’t control your own heart.”
Even though she had been indifferent to him, scornful of him, she was still able to discover certain truths from the feelings she accidentally revealed. One day, he would clear away all the obstacles that had bound her to love him. He would let her love him without any fear or pressure, insisting on doing so just like how he loved her heart!
While Xue Fu was still confused, a mama’s voice suddenly came from outside the door, “Your majesty, the Empress is lucky. The lunch has already been prepared, please have a seat with Your Majesty.”
As soon as Yue Ye heard that lunch was already prepared, she immediately pulled Xue Fu’s hand and walked towards the dining table, saying like a child, “I’m hungry, hurry up and come eat with me.”
As he walked closer to the table, the fragrance of the delicious dishes assaulted his nostrils. Xue Fu stared at the delicacies on the table and gently raised her eyebrows. He turned to the mama by his side and said, “There’s no need to prepare so many dishes in the future. Do you want to turn the emperor into a fatty?”
The mama held back her laughter and bowed respectfully. “This servant will remember Empress’s words.”
“Yeah, I don’t want to be a fatty.” In fact, how could she have known that Yue Ye wasn’t such a greedy person? She only made the kitchen cook so many good dishes, all for the sake of making her eat better.
After lunch, the painter was already waiting for a long time in the courtyard. Xue Fu sat on a red wooden chair according to the painter’s request. Behind him were layers upon layers of peony flowers, the fragrance was pleasant, and a few colorful butterflies that were unwilling to leave were flying around in the flower bud. Coupled with beautiful flowers, it was an extremely beautiful scene.
The tip of the painter’s brush danced gracefully on the xuan paper like a beautiful dancer. At times, the brush would be powerful and firm, and at other times, it would be as light as a butterfly.
After some time, the painting was finally completed. The painter stood to the side and respectfully said, “May Your Majesty have a look at the painting with Empress.”
“Xue Fu, you are still as beautiful as ever in the painting.” Yue Ye smiled. Bao`er stepped forward, and on the drawing paper, a brush drew a lifelike image of a young lady. Her smiling face revealed a trace of melancholy. That… Since it’s her? Did she really bring out the melancholy that should not exist so clearly? He couldn’t even hide his painting brush from the painter. Is this the real her? Maybe!
“What a wonderful painting!” Yue Ye praised, turning her head to look at the painter, “Painter Liu, please follow Eunuch Li in receiving the reward.”
“Thank you, your majesty.” The painter was overjoyed, not because he could receive rewards, but because he could win the favor of the emperor and the empress. This was much more valuable than gold.
Xue Fu slowly turned his head, looking at Yue Ye’s happy face, he couldn’t help but think in his heart: Could he really not see the sadness in her eyes? Why else would he be so happy?
After the painter left, Yue Ye stood at the table and looked at the still damp drawing paper. She reached out and pulled Xue Fu into her embrace, still holding her from behind. He agreed, “I believe that the next time Painter Liu draws your eyes, they will be filled with a glimmer of happiness, and not the same as today. Do you know? “Painter Liu’s greatest characteristic is that he can bring a person’s expression to perfection!”
“I can see it.” Xue Fu smiled, he was just like the jade on his wrist, able to perfectly reveal a person’s inner world. He was a very terrifying and harmful person!
“It’s fine if you don’t want this painting, Xiang Er, throw it away.” Yue Ye suddenly said to Xiang Er who was behind her, what he wanted was the blissful and happy Xue Fu, he didn’t want to see her sad expression, not even a painting!
Xiang Er was startled, but immediately he did not know whether he should take it as the truth. He was clearly listening to his praise a moment ago, why did he suddenly say that he wanted to throw the painting away? However, she had no choice but to obey the emperor’s orders. After answering ‘yes’, she walked towards the side of the drawing table.
“Hold on!” Xue Fu suddenly called out to her, and stared at the drawing on the table: “I can’t throw it away, I like this painting!” She really did like it. She had never truly displayed her paintings before. She wanted to collect them!
Although Yue Ye was shocked, she didn’t stop her from staying. She only looked at the Xue Fu in the painting, and stared at him for a long time …
Inside the Hall of Management, Yue Ye, who was discussing important matters at the border with a few other ministers, felt an inexplicable stir in her heart, as if something had suddenly struck her heartstrings. An ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart. It was a very strange feeling that caused his heart to ache!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard outside the Righteous Hall, followed by the cold voice of the gongzi. “The emperor ordered that no one is allowed to see the emperor during the discussion of his subordinates!”
“Young eunuch, something’s wrong with the empress. Could you help tell the emperor …” Xiang Er’s tearful voice came out, the crying caused her to be unable to continue speaking.
But… This sentence alone was enough to scare Yue Ye out of her wits. She didn’t care whether or not she was having a discussion with the other officials, standing up from her Dragon Throne, she rushed out of the hall. He rushed in front of Xiang Er and used one hand to grab her arm to lift her off the ground. He asked anxiously: “What happened to Xue Fu? What happened? ”
“Empress …” “Esteemed Empress, she …” Xiang Er was so anxious that he couldn’t speak, partly because he was crying and partly because he was scared by Yue Ye’s cold appearance. Yue Ye didn’t hold back in the slightest, throwing her back to the ground and rushing towards Jing Yanggong on her own.
His speed was as fast as if he was flying, scaring many of the palace eunuchs who were rushing towards him. They were all trying to hide in confusion. When Yue Ye arrived at Jing Yang Palace, a group of imperial physicians had already gathered there. The court ladies and eunuchs were frightened to the point that their faces turned pale. When they saw the emperor, they kneeled on the ground in unison.
“Your majesty, the Empress is taking a look. You can’t go in.” A mama bravely came out from the cabinet, stopping the anxious Yue Ye as she spoke. According to the regulations, after the late imperial concubine was seriously ill, the emperor could only see her through the curtain, and was not allowed to enter the cabinet.
However, the impatient Yue Ye ignored this rule, and pushed aside the mama blocking her path and rushed inside, stepping into the Cabinet. The imperial physician and palace maid immediately knelt down to pay their respects, angering Yue Ye as she shouted, “Why are you still being courteous at such a time? “Hurry and save the empress for me! If the empress dies, I want all of you to die with me!”
The imperial doctors were so frightened that their necks shrank in order to say yes, they continued to discuss about Xue Fu’s condition. Yue Ye anxiously stood behind the imperial physician. Through the faintly discernible dragon-shaped tent, she saw Xue Fu painfully curling up his body, his scallion-like fingers tightly grabbing onto the silk quilts on both sides of his body. Beads of perspiration rolled down her pale face.
“Xue Fu…” Yue Ye called out in heartache, even breaking the last line of defense, pushing aside the imperial physician in front of her. After lifting up the curtain, he took that trembling body into his embrace and hugged it tightly. His voice trembled and became hoarse: “Xue Fu … “Don’t be afraid, I’m here, I’m here …”
The person in his embrace didn’t stop moaning in pain because of his embrace. Her little face was wrinkled as her red lips trembled and a few words leaked out, “Daddy …” “I want to see father …”
In this moment of closure, she had been calling out to her heartless father, not the man she loved, because she knew that calling out to the Emperor would be useless, even if he was the emperor of more than ten thousand people!
It was as if there was a sharp sword slashing across his chest, slashing out many bloody lines. It was like a giant golden boulder was pressing down on her heart, causing her to be unable to breathe. She could only rely on her wide open mouth to breathe.
“Xue Fu, what’s wrong?” Yue Ye asked anxiously while holding her. Seeing that Xue Fu didn’t even have the strength to speak, she raised her head and asked the group of imperial doctors, “What kind of illness did the empress suffer?”
All of the imperial physicians shrank back, modestly avoiding each other as they didn’t dare speak. An older imperial physician had no choice but to crawl forward and answer with a shaky voice, “Reporting to the emperor, I’m afraid the empress has been poisoned. She’s a type of medicine that we’ve never seen before …”
