Chapter 698: Awkward
Xiao Yechen deliberately coughed loudly, pretending to be casual and glancing at Du Yan, who was still facing away from him.
I haven't seen her for a few days, judging from Du Yan's back alone, she seems to have lost a lot of weight, because she can't see her face, Xiao Yechen can't guess Du Yan's mind specifically.
He walked towards Du Yan gently, thinking that Du Yan was so cold in his heart, could it be because he had punished Du Chengxiang? But he carefully recalled the circumstances of that day, and quickly refuted the speculation.
Listening to the familiar steps approaching her, Du Yan held her mouth, her face full of grievances, there was such a big thing in her family, and the man she missed in her heart could be regarded as coming.
But what did he do earlier?
When she was most helpless and in need of encouragement and comfort, all she heard was the news that she was about to fall out of favor, or the bad news that she was being beaten into the cold palace by the emperor.
She has told herself countless late nights not to listen, not to believe, but people are terrible, she is also a human being, and she is also a woman who needs her husband's love, that's all.
"How many days have I not seen you, how is the queen?" Xiao Yechen's simple greeting of a few words, Du Yan endured the grievances in her heart and sobbed in a low voice.
Good! She's so good!
Then he said coldly: "Emperor Lao is worried, and the concubines are all right." ”
Xiao Yechen was stunned in his heart, originally he guessed that Du Yan was unhappy, but judging from his temptation, Du Yan was really unhappy!
In the dead of night, the pins could be heard in the room, and they could clearly hear each other's undulating breathing.
Xiao Yechen, who couldn't help but wonder in his heart, approached Du Yan and turned her body, but the familiar face he missed day and night was unusually cold.
"You, what's wrong?" Xiao Yechen was patient, and reached out to tuck the broken hair around Du Yan's ear, a little annoyed that he had neglected Du Yan by being busy with the affairs of the court in the past few days.
Looking at Du Yan's cold eyes, Xiao Yechen felt extremely strange and sad, and even a little helpless.
Being asked by Xiao Yechen like this, the grievance in Du Yan's heart deepened, and she twisted her body vigorously to avoid Xiao Yechen's eyes, which were a little annoyed: "What else can I do!" Your Majesty, what do you want your concubines to do? ”
The gossip about her in the palace, can't he, as the king of a country, hear it? He was happy and pampered himself, he was the master of the first palace of this harem, and he was unhappy that he didn't see him for several days, so she became the laughing stock of this harem......
But the initiator came to shush the cold and ask her how she was doing, under the slogan of concern? It was the funniest joke she'd ever heard.
Xiao Yechen was stunned on the spot.
In his impression, Du Yan rarely lost his temper, and he didn't even blush with himself, but now it is the first time to question himself so hysterically.
He was a little overwhelmed for a while, but he was eager to know what happened to Du Yan...... After thinking about it, he strode out of Du Yan's house without looking back.
"Someone...... Someone ...... coming."
"Are you all deaf?"
Out of the queen's bedroom, Xiao Yechen jumped like thunder, scolding the palace people who were waiting in the queen's bedroom
, he was angry with the queen and desperately needed to vent.
In an instant, the palace maids and eunuchs of the queen's bedroom gathered in front of the hall tremblingly and stood in several rows.
Xiao Lu and Bai Lu had just put the little prince and the little princess to sleep, when they heard someone calling them, and hurriedly closed the door and came to the hall.
Seeing that the emperor's face was pale, the two of them invariably made a look, and their master should have exploded.
Sure enough, Xiao Yechen shouted to Xiao Lu a little impatiently: "Where has the queen been uncomfortable recently?" ”
Xiao Lu shook his head seriously, no!
Xiao Yechen was a little skeptical, and looked at Bai Lu again, asking her to prove the truth of Xiao Lu's words, Bai Lu hurriedly nodded and muttered: "The queen's body is handsome." ”
In fact, there is no need for the two of them to say, Xiao Yechen himself knows that the queen's body should be fine, and she has the strength to make trouble with herself and play a little temper, how can her body be bad?
Looking at Xiao Yechen's anxious and worried look at Du Yan, Xiao Lu hesitated for a long time and finally couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, can you take a step to speak." ”
"Stand down." Xiao Yechen asked the others to step back and motioned for Xiao Lu to continue.
With the emperor's affirmation, Xiao Lu had the courage to tell Xiao Yechen the recent rumors in the palace and the words that Du Yan heard today from beginning to end.
"Bastard!" After Xiao Yechen heard this, he was furious and smashed the tea cup in his hand.
It's only been a few days, and just a palace maid is still against the sky? In his opinion, it is light to execute the palace maid named Chaolu or destroy the Nine Clans......
His scolding frightened Xiao Lu into thinking that he was talking about himself, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to accept the punishment, thinking that the emperor was blaming her for not taking good care of the queen?
Xiao Yechen reacted when he saw Xiao Lu kneeling on the ground, and his words softened slightly: "You get up, I'm talking about the palace maid named Chaolu, I really don't know how thick the sky is!" ”
"The queen is soft-hearted, and according to me, she should deal with the punishment of pulling out her tongue, so as not to cause trouble in the harem and ruin the queen's reputation." The emperor is determined to bring justice to the queen.
Listening to Xiao Yechen's words, Xiao Lu was full of excitement, thinking that if her master could hear that the emperor was going to stand up for her like this, she should be very happy.
There was a light cough from behind the screen, and Du Yan listened to all the words that Xiao Yechen put in, but she didn't mean to, but Xiao Yechen's voice was too loud......
She just wanted to pour herself a glass of water, but she didn't think she accidentally listened to it all.
"Now that the queen has heard it, I will send someone to do it." Xiao Yechen heard Du Yan's voice behind the screen and immediately stated his position.
Just now, he didn't know why Du Yan was angry, but now that he knows, how can he not take this breath for his daughter-in-law?
Du Yan had already lost her anger when she heard Xiao Yechen's words when she was mad at herself, she didn't expect that Xiao Yechen cared about herself to a degree that was completely beyond her imagination.
"Your Majesty, your tongue is too cruel, and if you spread it, you will become a tyrant." She was afraid that Xiao Yechen would do something uncontrollable, so she persuaded her repeatedly.
What's more, she has already cleaned up and received what she deserves
Punishment, she felt that was enough.
Xiao Yechen saw that Du Yan's anger was gone, so he found a step for himself: "Or the queen is thoughtful, I don't know if the emperor has slept?" ”
"Your Majesty, do you want to go and have a look with your concubines?" Du Yan is a smart person, and he followed the emperor's words and said continuously.
"That's what I mean." Xiao Yechen said and took Du Yan's hand and walked towards the little prince's room.
The two of them entered the room and lightly covered the little princes with quilts, and then reluctantly returned to the queen's room......
"Yan'er is still angry with me?" Xiao Yechen hugged Du Yan in his arms and muttered.
At this moment, he is not the king of a country, and she is not the queen of a country, they are just an ordinary couple.
Du Yan hadn't heard Xiao Yechen call her maiden name for a long time, and at first glance she was really a little surprised, she was a little greedy for this warmth, and her face leaned into Xiao Yechen's arms a few times.
