Chapter 46 Gossip
Lu Zhixing was sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to Jiang Wan at this time, he was also ashamed and angry in his heart, he was so shameless as an emperor. But he also knew his appearance, he must have been drugged, his eyes were dark, and he knew exactly who caused this matter.
"Your Majesty, I'll let the palace people take your clothes and dry them, otherwise depending on this progress, I'm afraid you will have to leave with my futon early tomorrow morning."
Jiang Wan deliberately only focused on Lu Zhixing's hair, it was the first time she had such intimate contact with a man when she was so old, and she was still a naked man.
Lu Zhixing glanced sideways at the clothes that were still dripping on the hanger, and sighed helplessly, "Hmm." ”
Jiang Wan got dressed, "Your Majesty, I don't have anything you can wear here, so you can avoid it in the quilt first." ”
After speaking, Jiang Wan walked to the shelf, took his clothes and walked out with an umbrella.
Fortunately, there was a palace maid on night duty in her courtyard, and she looked at the room where the lights were still on, walked over and knocked on the door.
"Xin Chang is here, come to find the slave so late, do you have any instructions?"
Jiang Wan handed the clothes in his hand that were wet and heavy because of the soaking water to the palace maid, "I'm tired of drying these clothes and sending them to my room early tomorrow morning." ”
The palace maid didn't pay attention to it because she was a little confused at night, so she took it, "Obey." ”
Jiang Wan didn't say anything else, turned around and went back to her room, and after she left, the palace maid took her clothes and closed the door.
"Is Xin Chang still doing his own laundry at night?"
The palace maid took a closer look, only to find that the clothes were not Jiang Wan's, looking at the workmanship materials and decorations, the palace maid recognized the original owner of the clothes.
"Isn't this Your Majesty's clothes, how can it be in Xin Chang's hand?"
The palace maid's gossip heart immediately burned, she looked through it, and found that there was a lot of it from the inside out, she opened the door, looked at Jiang Wan's room, and her heart was clear.
When Jiang Wan came back, he saw that Lu Zhixing had already obediently lay down in the quilt, leaving only his shoulders above the outside exposed. He heard the movement and looked at Jiang Wan, who was collecting the umbrella.
"Today, it's my problem."
When he was drugged, he was embarrassed to say it. However, Jiang Wan can naturally detect it, after all, although Lu Zhixing is a scumbag, he is not a hungry person, and if he can behave so abnormally, he must have been manipulated.
It turns out that someone will really drug the emperor, Jiang Wan thought in her heart, she had only read it in novels and TV series before, but she didn't expect to be able to meet her.
"It's okay, but I just want to wronged Your Majesty to spend the night in my humble house, Your Majesty can rest for a while."
Lu Zhixing may have been a little sluggish because the effect of the medicine had not yet been completely reduced, he nodded obediently, and then reacted, "Then where are you sleeping?" ”
"I'll just sleep on the couch."
After speaking, Jiang Wan took out another quilt from the cabinet, she actually wanted to go to Ping'er's room to squeeze a bed with Ping'er to sleep, but after all, she was Lu Zhixing's nominal little wife, and it was not appropriate not to sleep in a room.
Lu Zhixing wanted to say something, but Jiang Wan had already blown out the lights, and the room fell into darkness.
When Jiang Wan woke up the next day, she found that she was lying on her bed, and she looked to the side, it was Lu Zhixing who was still asleep. Because the bed is not big, she is only a fist away from Lu Zhixing.
"What's going on, could it be that I'm still sleepwalking?"
Jiang Wan thought to herself, she wanted to get up but was afraid of shocking Lu Zhixing, and her face was embarrassed and tangled as if she was constipated for a while, but at this moment, Lu Zhixing woke up.
"You woke up so early?"
Who are you lying to Lu Zhixing, are you so sober in your eyes as if you have just woken up?! Jiang Wan smiled on his face, and the alpaca in his heart spun around and galloped.
"Your Majesty, I remember when I fell asleep on the couch?"
Lu Zhixing's eyes subconsciously moved away, "Last night, you couldn't sleep well on the couch, which disturbed me and I couldn't sleep well, so I dragged you to the bed." ”
Jiang Wan didn't bother to get to the bottom of it, with a faint angry smile on his face, "That's really annoying Your Majesty." "Actually use dragging, do you treat yourself like this?
"Knock knock, Xin Chang is awake?"
It was the voice of the palace maid last night, Jiang Wan glanced at Lu Zhixing, Lu Zhixing was very calm, and his face was very calm.
Jiang Wan knew that it was impossible to let him avoid it, "Come in." ”
The palace maid walked in with Lu Zhixing's clothes, and at a glance saw Lu Zhixing leaning on the bed.
"See Your Majesty, this is Your Majesty's clothes, and the slave has been dried and tidied up."
"Hmm."
Lu Zhixing didn't react, and the palace maid put her clothes on the table next to her and withdrew. Xian'er had already gotten up and was about to come over to wait for Jiang Wan to get up, but she was pulled aside by the palace maid.
"Xin Chang is now inconvenient for others to go in and disturb him, so you can wait for now."
Xian'er was confused, and the palace maid said again, "Your Majesty is inside." ”
Ping'er was very surprised when she heard this, when did Your Majesty come, did she sleep too hard last night? However, since His Majesty and the master are in the same room, there is really no need for her to go in and disturb the two.
Jiang Wan had an ominous premonition at this time, she and Lu Zhixing's unclear must be passed on. Jiang Wan was very frustrated, why did she always have something to do with Lu Zhixing, this time she must have become the object of criticism from everyone in the harem.
"I'm going to change my clothes"
Lu Zhixing had already lifted the quilt and sat on the edge of the bed when Jiang Wan was depressed. Jiang Wan looked at Lu Zhixing's back and didn't react for a while. Lu Zhixing looked back at her, "What's the matter, Xin Chang didn't see enough last night?" ”
Jiang Wan could hear the obvious ridicule in these words, and immediately turned around and stopped talking.
"Huh."
Lu Zhixing chuckled, which made Jiang Wan's ears red, what are you laughing at, is Lu Zhixing stupid by medicine? Jiang Wan thought to himself, this palace can't stay, and people will have problems if they stay for a long time.
Lu Zhixing got dressed and combed himself in a simple bun, "You rest for a while, I'm gone." ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty."
After Lu Zhixing left Luoyunxuan, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, after all, Jiang Wan had been a husband and wife with him for many years, how could he be so shy now. However, this problem was quickly put aside by Lu Zhixing.
The matter of Lu Zhixing's overnight stay in the side courtyard of Luoyun Xuan soon spread in the palace, and the palace people were rumoring that Jiang Wan had regained his holy favor. After these gossips reached Lin Yao's ears, she couldn't wait to grit a mouthful of silver teeth. I worked hard to arrange these, but in the end, I made a wedding dress for Jiang Wan, so that she didn't hate.
"Damn it, how could Your Majesty go to Jiang Wan's courtyard!"
Yuan Zhu didn't expect Lu Zhixing to leave the palace of the concubine with the effect of the medicine, and actually went to Jiang Wan's residence, she knew what the effect of the medicine was, and what must have happened between Jiang Wan and Lu Zhixing.
"If Jiang Wan becomes pregnant with His Majesty's imperial heir because of this, then the palace will have no chance to reach the throne at all."
Lin Yao's eyes were gloomy and fierce, she clenched her hands, and her nails dug into her palms without moving. And how smart Lu Zhixing is, he will naturally know that he was drugged, and now his small actions must be discovered. If Lu Zhixing alienates himself because of this in the future, it will undoubtedly make matters worse.
"Then the concubine, what should we do next?"
Lin Yao sat on the chair, she was also thinking, but she couldn't be too hasty, the previous few moves were variable. Lin Yao thought about it for a long time, and finally set her goal on one person.
"Sure enough, in the end, it was safest to borrow a knife to kill people."
Jiang Wan was favored by Lu Zhixing in the harem, naturally some people were happy and some were worried, and Xia Yahan was the one who was sad. Her mind has always been Lu Zhixing, she thought of Jiang Wan's promotion, and thought of the rumors in the palace, and her heart was very uncomfortable.
She admires Lu Zhixing, but now it seems that her original intuition is not an illusion, and Lu Zhixing really has Jiang Wan in her heart.
And at the beginning, Lu Zhixing went to the royal nunnery, and now he thinks that he is also going for Jiang Wan.
"Master, don't worry, don't think too much."
Mo Er comforted on the side, Xia Yahan had been swinging on the swing in the Imperial Garden for an hour.
"What if King Xiang has a dream goddess and no heart?" Mo'er patted Xia Yahan's shoulder, "What Xin Chang said to you before, Mo'er doesn't look like a lie to deceive you, and if you don't mind, it's better to go and talk to Xin Chang directly." ”
"I know, I also know that I'm just wishful thinking, which of these harem women doesn't belong to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has favored Jiang Wan, where can I care."
It's a pity that Xia Yahan only likes Lu Zhixing, a man, and not getting the blue eyes of the man she likes is enough to make her sad. And since she entered the palace, Lu Zhixing has never summoned her, and so far she has met Lu Zhixing very few times.
"Maybe I'm really going to grow old alone in this deep palace."
Just when Xia Yahan was depressed, she heard Lin Yao's slightly sharp voice.
"What's wrong with Ju Chang, I am here to make sad words, this crying appearance, so that this palace is so pitiful."
Lin Yao walked over with Yuan Zhu and several palace maids behind him.
"The slave has seen the concubine."
Xia Yahan didn't have a good impression of Lin Yao, but because of her status, she had to hurry down to salute Lin Yao.
Lin Yao stepped forward very abnormally, took Xia Yahan's hand and helped her up, with a gentle smile on her face.
"You don't have to be so polite when you are always here, hurry up."
Xia Yahan was a little confused by Lin Yao's attitude, she didn't know what Lin Yao was thinking. Lin Yao saw Xia Yahan's suspicions, and chuckled, "Why do you have to look at this palace like this, and this palace will not harm you, which makes this palace a little chilly." ”
Xia Yahan lowered her head, "The slave doesn't dare." ”
Lin Yao stretched out his hand and pulled Xia Yahan to the pavilion not far away, "Why is Ju Chang complaining here, I can't help but let this palace hear it, and I can also comfort you a few words." ”
Lin Yao's sudden gesture made Xia Yahan feel overwhelmed, Lin Yao's hands were cold, and Xia Yahan felt like a snake was entrenched in her hands.
Xia Yahan already had a layer of cold sweat behind her back, she felt like she was being targeted by something like a snake and scorpion at the moment, she just wanted to get out of here quickly.
"Ju Chang doesn't respond, and Bengong can only think of a few points."
Chapter 47 Sow Discord
Although Lin Yao looked at Xia Yahan with a smile, her fox-like eyes were gloomy, "Ju Chang is here because Xin Chang is sad because he is favored by His Majesty." ”
Xia Yahan's mind was pierced and put on the table, and her eyes widened in surprise for a while. Lin Yao didn't seem to pay attention, and then said, "Ju Chang is really simple, everything is on his face, it's difficult for this palace to think about it." ”
Xia Yahan lowered her head and admitted in front of Concubine Lin that she had thoughts about His Majesty, which was tantamount to looking for death.
"Slaves don't dare."
"What's this, Ju Chang is also his daughter's family, it is most normal to have such thoughts, but this palace is not such a narrow person, the harem concubines can have one heart for Your Majesty, and this palace is too late to be happy."
Lin Yao looked at Xia Yahan and knew that she had really guessed correctly, when she met in the pavilion before, Xia Yahan's eyes were always on Lu Zhixing's body, and she couldn't see the friendship and love in that gaze.
If it weren't for Xia Yahan's lack of presence in front of Lu Zhixing, and she usually kept to herself and didn't fight or grab, otherwise she would have already dealt with it.
Now that she and Jiang Wan are very close, she can also be used as the sharpest dagger in her hand to stab Jiang Wan. Lin Yao thought to herself, as long as Xia Yahan still loved the landing trip, then there would always be a layer of estrangement between her and Jiang Wan.
"The slave and maid are lowly and dare not have any thoughts about Your Majesty."
Xia Yahan would definitely not admit it, she just wanted to prevaricate Lin Yao so that Lin Yao would let her go. Mo'er on the side looked at it and was also very anxious.
"But if you live in the world, can you be willing to let Your Majesty be ignorant?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Xin Chang was robbed of his position by the queen for murdering the child in the womb of the palace before, and such scheming women were not punished in the cold palace, but were promoted again and again by His Majesty, and now she is even more favored by Your Majesty."
Lin Yao had a worried and serious look on her face, "This palace never thought that she would have such a method, maybe she would be re-crowned as the queen by His Majesty soon." ”
Xia Yahan heard the meaning of Lin Yao's words, but he was just saying that Jiang Wan was quite scheming, and the city government was very deep, so he was not a good person. She naturally knew that the grievances between Lin Yao and Jiang Wan were complicated, but the Jiang Wan she came into contact with would definitely not be what Lin Yao said.
"If there is such a person by His Majesty's side, how can it be reassuring, this palace feels that His Majesty's vision of knowing people is slightly biased, and where he lives is not as good as Xin Chang."
Lin Yao suddenly turned her words on Xia Yahan's body, "Ju Chang has the appearance of a beautiful woman, has talent, and has a good temperament, not to mention that he has a prominent family background, compared to Xin Changzai, Ju Chang is more suitable to be by His Majesty's side." ”
Lin Yao's praise had a strange taste in Xia Yahan's ears.
"The concubine Niangniang praised it falsely, if you say that you are by Your Majesty's side, no one can do it except for the concubine Niangniang."
Lin Yao had a smile in her eyes, but she was looking at Xia Yahan in her heart, Xia Yahan was really not a good person to talk about, and she secretly rejected her words word by word.
This Xia Yahan originally thought that he was a simple and easy to deceive, but he didn't expect that he was also capable. Lin Yao thought to herself, if Xia Yahan couldn't use it for herself, then she wasn't afraid of stepping on one more corpse on the way to the top.
"Ju Chang is here, this palace kindly reminds you that you and Xin Chang are very close, but you have to be careful whether you are making wedding clothes for others."
Just when Lin Yao wanted to say something, Jiang Wan appeared at this time.
Jiang Wan was originally looking for Xia Yahan, but when she heard that the palace people in the other courtyard said that Xia Yahan took Mo'er to the Imperial Garden, she thought about coming here to find her. Far away, she heard Lin Yao and Xia Yahan's voices, afraid that Lin Yao was going to attack Xia Yahan, so she hurriedly walked over.
"It turned out that the concubine was here, and the slave maid had seen the concubine."
"It's a coincidence that Xin Chang is here, and this palace is talking to Ju Chang about something."
Jiang Wan's sudden appearance disrupted Lin Yao's original plan, and Lin Yao had not yet wavered to Xia Yahan. Jiang Wan was actually thinking about the current situation with respect on his face. She stepped forward to separate Lin Yao and Xia Yahan, blocking Xia Yahan behind her.
"The slave maid originally came to find Ju Chang, but I didn't think that the concubine Niangniang was also here, I don't know if the concubine Niangniang has anything else to say?"
Xia Yahan watched Jiang Wan protect herself behind her, and there was emotion spreading in her heart.
"Look at Xin Chang's appearance, this palace won't eat Ju Chang, and this palace has nothing to say, so this palace will leave first."
"The slave and maid send the concubine Niangniang."
After Lin Yao and the others left, Jiang Wan looked at Xia Yahan with a worried face.
"Yahan, Concubine Lin didn't do anything to you, did she threaten you?"
Xia Yahan shook her head, she didn't tell Jiang Wan what Lin Yao had said about sowing discord, and she didn't want Jiang Wan to misunderstand that she was the same as Lin Yao.
"Concubine Lin just pulled me to say some useless polite words, and didn't do anything to me."
"But getting along with Concubine Lin does make me very impatient, fortunately, you appeared in time, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of it for a while."
"That's good, Concubine Lin is not a good person, it's always good to stay away from her."
Jiang Wan put down the stone in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief, it was impossible for Lin Yao to come to talk to Xia Yahan when he was idle, it must be because Xia Yahan was too close to him, so Lin Yao took Xia Yahan as a target.
Lin Yao's methods are diverse, but they are all vicious and ruthless, if Xia Yahan is hurt because of this, it will be her lifelong regret.
Xia Yahan looked at Jiang Wan's worried expression, and Lin Yao's words made her not believe it, she only believed that seeing was believing, Jiang Wan would never be that kind of person.
After Lin Yao returned to the palace of the concubine, Yuan Zhu asked, "Concubine Niangniang, Xin Chang suddenly appeared, but he wasted a great opportunity. ”
Lin Yao was not in the atmosphere, but calm, "What are you afraid of, the estrangement between the two of them has always been there, and the words of this palace now are just a small foreshadowing, and they will definitely be of great use in the future." ”
Yuan Zhu thought about it and understood Lin Yao's intentions, "The noble concubine is really smart, and her strategy is not inferior to others." ”
"That's natural, if Ju Chang is completely persuaded by this palace today and defects, it can be regarded as this palace looking down on her."
Jiang Wan and Xia Yahan were walking on the road, and Xia Yahan asked her, "Is there something wrong with you coming to me?" ”
Jiang Wan then remembered her original reason, "I know that the matter of Your Majesty's stay in Luoyunxuan has spread in the palace, and you will definitely know about it, so I came to you to talk about it." ”
Xia Yahan's eyes were a little gloomy after hearing this, since Jiang Wan himself admitted it, it seemed to be true.
Jiang Wan noticed Xia Yahan's expression and patted her shoulder, "Your Majesty is staying in my room, but nothing has happened between me and Your Majesty." ”
"Nothing happened, how could it be?"
Xia Yahan wondered, Lu Zhixing and Jiang Wan were lonely men and widows, and they were once husband and wife, how could nothing happen.
"Your Majesty was unwell last night and was drowned out by the heavy rain, passing by my side courtyard and walked in, I just kindly took care of Your Majesty, so I left Your Majesty in my room for one night."
The fact that Lu Zhixing was drugged must not be said outside, so Jiang Wan concealed this point.
"Your Majesty is not a hungry person, and he will come to pamper me in the heavy rain, not to mention that I am still the queen he once deposed with his own hands."
Xia Yahan listened to Jiang Wan's explanation, and the knots that had been tangled in her heart were unraveled.
"So that's the truth of the matter."
"I came to you to explain this, just because I was afraid that you would misunderstand that I lied to you before, and now there is really no friendship between me and Your Majesty."
Jiang Wan always remembered that Xia Yahan admired Lu Zhixing, and she was "pampered" and she naturally felt uncomfortable.
"Jiang Wan, you are so good, and you take care of my emotions, but I still have a small belly and chicken intestines because of this resentment, if you are really favored by Your Majesty, I should also understand, now I have become a jealous woman."
Xia Yahan smiled self-deprecatingly, Jiang Wan sighed, "I will definitely not fight with you, you also need to work hard to make Your Majesty notice you, it is useless to feel sorry for yourself." ”
"Well, I see, thank you Jiang Wan."
"You and I are like sisters, where do you need to be so polite, okay, you can't have any more guilt in your heart."
Seeing Xia Yahan stretch her smile again, Jiang Wan smiled with relief and said goodbye and left.
Mo'er stepped forward and walked to Xia Yahan's side, "Xin Chang doesn't look like a woman who can lie, the master doesn't have to be suspicious of her, Lin Guifei's words can't be trusted." ”
"I know that it is my luck to have a sister like her in this palace, and I will cherish it for a long time."
The Queen Mother also heard the gossip spread like the wind in the harem, she knew Jiang Wan's temperament, and it was estimated that she could no longer get close to Lu Zhixing, and there must have been a misunderstanding.
"Good Mama, you said that if Your Majesty and Wan'er were really reconciled, how good it would be."
"Queen Mother, the old slave thinks that it is still too early, Your Majesty and Xin Chang are in between, it is not necessarily impossible."
"I hope so."
Lu Zhixing, as one of the protagonists of this gossip, did not come forward, he didn't think it was a thing that should be explained, and it wasn't a bad thing for him.
But the chief manager, Chang Ge and others didn't know the inside story, and when the chief manager chatted with Chang Ge in private, he also said that Lu Zhixing refused verbally, but his body was very honest.
After Lu Zhixing's trip that night, he occasionally remembered Jiang Wan's face when she was asleep, or how she was soaked in water that day.
"Your Majesty, didn't you go to the palace of the noble concubine that night, but why did you end up staying there in Xin Chang?"
The chief manager went to Lin Yao's dormitory with Lu Zhixing that day, but when he was waiting outside, he was taken away by Yuan Zhu. After being in the palace for many years, he naturally understood that this was Lin Yao's means to keep Lu Zhixing, and he left without much trouble.
Lu Zhixing thought of that night, and his brows couldn't help frowning, the phenomenon of being drugged on his body was too obvious, and Lin Yao also behaved very abnormally that night. There is no doubt that the person who drugged must have been Lin Yao, he didn't expect Lin Yao to become so scheming, and he actually hit him with his idea.
"Looks like I've indulged her too much." Lu Zhixing suddenly said coldly.
