Chapter 51: The Amulet
In fact, Zhao Yan has never changed. As an emperor, his heart has never been hot.
Wen Zhiluo is all his tenderness. The favor of the Wen family is only because of her.
Zhao Yan put down the teacup and said goodbye to the Queen Mother: "My son still has a piece to be approved, so I won't accompany my mother." The queen mother is well recuperate, and the son will come to see you tomorrow. β
Empress Dowager Xiao didn't want to see him, so she closed her eyes and said, "The emperor walks slowly." β
He smiled slightly, turned around and led the attendants out of Renshou Palace, feeling faintly uneasy. Butβhe felt that his emotions came from inexplicably.
A useless girl is just killed, killed and killed, what is there to worry about?
Zhao Yan calmly descended the steps, but the eunuch behind him reminded him: "Your Majesty, look over there-"
He raised his head and looked at the place the eunuch had pointed, his expression becoming strange. Then, without hesitation, he walked in that direction.
"With this jade pendant, even the Queen Mother can't move the palace when she speaks. Have you figured it out? β
Fortunately, Yixuan kept an eye on it and brought the jade pendant that Zhao Zhen gave her before marriage. This jade pendant can mobilize the brocade guards in the capital, and whoever doesn't want to die will dare to offend.
The guards looked at each other, knelt down one by one, and the nervous sweat was about to run down.
"Such an important thing, the imperial brother actually handed it over to a woman for safekeeping." Zhao Yan's voice suddenly popped up. Yi Xuan's body stiffened, Mu Ran turned his face away, and found Zhao Yan with a cold smile on his face.
She also laughed, "Does Your Majesty still come to see my jokes?" β
Zhao Yan stared at the jade pendant in Yi Xuan's hand for a long time, his eyes were cold and about to form ice slag. Yi Xuan knew that he would be unhappy, and in this palace, using King Yu's token to confront him was to openly challenge his power.
"Blame for being willing to do things for me. The royal brother treats you so well, you naturally want to repay the favor. Zhao Yan lowered his voice and said in Yixuan's ear. His voice was lingering, and there was even a smile in his tone.
But Yixuan knew that he must be very angry now.
"So in the eyes of Your Majesty, should my Wen family's daughters die for you?" She said coldly: "If the concubine does something to King Yu, and the ministers are held accountable, will Your Majesty save the concubine's life?" β
His gaze slowly drifted over her face, a little surprised and probing. He found that this girl was smarter than he had imagined.
"Absolutely." He raised an eyebrow nonchalantly.
Yi Xuan's hands hanging on her sides slowly clenched, and she suddenly felt extremely tired, as if she had never really known him.
Even if it was she who single-handedly supported him to ascend to the throne.
"Your Majesty, I thought you would treat the Queen's family well." Yixuan couldn't contain her disappointment, "The concubine is a member of the Wen family and will not go against you. However, the concubine has her own judgment and will not obey you in everything. β
Yi Xuan lowered her head slightly, avoiding eye contact with Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan looked at her intently for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Okay, very good." Wen Yixuan, you remember your words today. β
"Keep in mind the concubine."
Zhao Yan turned to the guards and said, "Princess Yu has been wronged, I have already understood, you go down." β
The guards sighed and hurriedly got up and walked away.
Zhao Yan pointed at them and said, "I solved the trouble for you, and I may offend the Queen Mother because of this, do you want to thank me?" β
"Has Your Majesty offended the Queen Mother less?" She didn't appreciate it.
Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, and smiled dumbly, "You know a lot." But you owe me a favor, and I will ask you for it. β
Yi Xuan looked at him calmly: "You can ask me for it, but if I don't do it, that's another matter." She bowed and led Shuang'er away.
On the carriage back home, Yixuan sat quietly with her eyes closed, and from time to time there was a resentful voice in her ears. Yi Xuan finally couldn't help but say: "Instead of complaining, it's better to think about whether there is an inner ghost in the palace." β
This question made Shuang'er quiet all the way. Yixuan was able to think back to the events of her previous life and Zhao Yan.
Was it because she didn't know him too well, or did he gradually change?
If Zhao Yan has already become such a person, and she is only used for her, then is her death also related to Zhao Yan?
She didn't dare to think about it anymore.
The carriage stopped in front of the palace.
As soon as Yixuan appeared, the subordinates of the palace all looked like they had seen ghosts, and they came up in horror to say goodbye.
Yi Xuan saw it in his eyes. Come to think of it, the rumors have spread all over the capital. Everyone thought that she would die when she entered the palace, but she didn't expect to come back.
Yixuan didn't go back to the house first, but came to Fu Xuan's house, and Fu Xuan hurriedly came out to greet him.
"Where's the prince?" She asked.
Fu Xuan replied: "The prince accompanied Prince Duan to Lefang. Prince Duan got a new piece of music, saying that it was the sound of the outside world, and asked the prince to taste it together. Princess...... Can I help you? β
"Duanwang." Yi Xuan thought silently, and when she saw Fu Xuanhu looking at her suspiciously, she shook her head and smiled: "It's okay, you can rest." β
After returning to the house, Shuang'er unloaded the hairpin ring for Yixuan.
"Does the princess think that today's events are related to King Duan?" There was no one in the house, so Shuang'er dared to ask Yixuan quietly.
Yi Xuan untied her ears and put them on the table, sighed and said, "King Duan and Princess Duan may not really want to harm me. Maybe it's being used to marry someone. β
Shuang'er frowned, "Who is that who is so big-faced, and can support the king of the moving end......" She suddenly turned pale, and asked in a low voice: "Is it - the emperor?" β
Yi Xuan looked at herself in the mirror and was silent, her fingers slowly tapped on the table, and she said after a while: "You go to check, where did the music score obtained by Duanwang come from?" β
"Yes." Shuang'er received the order and asked again: "What is the princess going to do with the inner ghost in the house?" β
"Don't do it." Yixuan held Shuang'er's hand and smiled, "If you don't move, the other party will show your feet." β
On the other hand, Zhao Zhen heard about the affairs of the palace and hurried back from Lefang.
Yixuan was already sitting on the kang embroidery, wearing a plain satin pleated skirt, holding a homely hand, and before she could put down the embroidery shed in her hand, she was taken into Zhao Zhen's arms.
The man's chest was hot, and Yixuan was a little out of breath.
She stretched out her hand, patted Zhao Zhen on the back, and smiled softly: "Your Highness, I'm fine." β
The girl is understated, as if the person who has walked through the ghost gate is not her.
The man sneered, his voice full of anger, "This king doesn't know that the queen mother cares so much about this king's family affairs...... Don't let down the Queen Mother's concerns, let's go into the palace to greet the Queen Mother! β
He has rarely entered the palace recently, I'm afraid they have forgotten who is in charge of the palace and outside the palace!
Yixuan shook her head, stood up and hugged Zhao Zhen, and put her head against his heart, listening to his slightly rapid heartbeat.
"Your Highness, the matter has passed, so don't make any more troubles."
Zhao Zhen took a deep breath, "You want to calm things down, but they don't necessarily think so." With me protecting you, what are you afraid of? β
"I'm not afraid." Yi Xuan's expression was extremely serious, "I just think this matter is quite strange." On the surface, it was the Queen Mother who was dissatisfied with me and took the opportunity to take revenge. But when you think about it, it seems that everything was arranged. β
Zhao Zhen frowned, listening to her, it seemed to mean something......
"The Queen Mother is also being used. Instead of grudging with the Queen Mother, it is better to patiently find out who is deliberately harming me. Yixuan's eyes lit up, and she asked with a smile: "Your Highness, did you say it?" β
Zhao Zhen's heart warmed, knowing that Yixuan was thinking about him, but the actions of the Queen Mother and Zhao Yurou were really disgusting!
"And who do you think it is?" Zhao Zhen asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I only know that this person is very powerful, and he can even contact the king of the upper end. β
"Duanwang?" Zhao Zhen was very surprised, "King Duan invited me to taste the music today, is it ......?"
Yi Xuan nodded, "That's right, someone should have designed it on purpose." King Duan has nothing to do with me, so he shouldn't hurt me. However, this is just my guess. I have sent someone to investigate, Your Highness should not meddle in this matter, otherwise the movement will be too big and it will not be good to attract people's attention. β
Zhao Zhen listened to her analysis, but he didn't have the slightest grievance, but he had a sense of excitement. Zhao Zhen finally had a hint of a smile: "They wronged you, so you won't be angry?" β
"Angry." Yi Xuan focused on her head twice, her eyebrows furrowed, "But I want to know who is going to hurt me more than I am angry." β
Zhao Zhen smiled helplessly.
Yi Xuan took out the jade pendant, shook it in front of Zhao Zhen, pursed her lips and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, I'm not so stupid." I guess it was nothing good for the Queen Mother to invite me into the palace, so I deliberately brought it, but I didn't expect it to really save my life. β
It's really, so dangerous.
Zhao Zhen put the jade pendant in the palm of her hand and gently advised: "When you go out in the future, you must bring this jade pendant with you." I may not be able to be by your side all the time, but with this jade pendant, I can keep you safe. β
Yixuan nodded very obediently, "I know." Then he half-crouched down and looked at him with wide eyes.
"What's wrong?"
She hooked the man's neck with both hands, her jade white face was delicate and smiling, and she was close to the man's ear, and her breath was like an orchid.
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but warm up in his lower abdomen.
"Your Highness, Lu Yingzhi and I really don't ......have anything," she explained aggrievedly.
"Yes, I know." Zhao Zhen wrapped his arms around her waist, lowered his head and pecked her on the lips, then picked her up with one hand and sent her directly to the bed.
Yi Xuan looked at the man's troubled eyes, almost knew his thoughts, hurriedly blushed, got into the quilt and shook his head: "I can't do it...... Your Highness, this daylight ......"
"You seduced me first." There is no room for negotiation.
Zhao Zhen went to snatch her quilt, Yixuan pulled it, and finally Zhao Zhen was impatient and threw the quilt directly.
The quilt fell gorgeously to the ground.
"I didn't!" How did she seduce! It's just a normal speech, his own mind is not pure, can he blame her!
Zhao Zhen smiled dumbly, rubbed her head with a big palm, and slowly kissed from her hair to her lips, and then from her lips to her collarbone, and ......
Yixuan lay on the bed exhausted, her head heavy and she just wanted to sleep. The man is full of satisfaction and full of energy.
"By the way, what were you just embroidering?" Zhao Zhen hugged her and asked.
"Embroidered Dragon." Yi Xuan said in a daze: "I want to embroider another tiger." β
"Why?" He asked.
The girl did not speak, apparently in a daze.
