Chapter 200: Returning Home
The winter night was very cold, although Jiang Ruonan carried a stove and wore a mink cloak, but just standing like this for a while, his body was so cold that he couldn't help shivering, but despite this, Jiang Ruonan still didn't want to go in and stay alone with Emperor Jing Xuan in a room
"Since you're here, why don't you come in, it's windy outside, but don't the princess's illness hasn't healed yet, and you're sick again, in this way, I'm really embarrassed to let you out of the palace, I have to wait for you to get better."
From the pavilion, Emperor Jingxuan's deep voice came. In this silent night, there seems to be a kind of power that shakes people's hearts.
"If you have anything to say, just say that, hurry up and let me go back early." Jiang Ruonan said hatefully.
The 'door' creaked open, and Emperor Jing Xuan's tall figure appeared at the entrance of the 'door', and the faint yellow light outlined a gold edge on his bright yellow 'color' dragon robe, and his face was a little blurred because of the backlight.
He snorted coldly, "What are you afraid of?" I didn't do anything to you in the paddock, what can I do to you in the palace? The tone was very unpleasant.
Jiang Ruonan couldn't believe him, "If you have anything to say, just say it"
Emperor Jing Xuan fell silent, and a burst of 'yin' cold aura emanated from him, Jiang Ruonan only felt a chill on his back, and couldn't help but take a step back.
At this moment, Emperor Jing Xuan suddenly stepped forward, strode to her side, grabbed her wrist, quickly pulled her into the pavilion, closed the 'door' casually, and then turned her around, pressed her against the 'door', supported her with both hands, circled her in the middle, and firmly pressed her body.
The series of movements seemed to be a matter of an instant, and by the time she reacted, his face was already in front of her.
The familiar ambergris quietly surrounded her.
His face was hidden in the 'yin' darkness, the outline was more profound, his eyes were as dark as night, staring at her quietly, in that persistent gaze, there was no banter, no 'desire', only strong affection, and boundless heaviness.
Jiang Ruonan, who was about to scold, couldn't help but be stunned.
His deep voice rang in his ears
"Ruolan, I miss you so much."
Jiang Ruonan took a deep breath, looked at him, and said word by word: "But I never thought about you." "There are some things that must not give the other party the slightest hope.
Emperor Jing Xuan's eyes sank, and he sneered twice, "Jiang Ruolan, the reason why you dare to be so presumptuous is just because I like you" After speaking, he let go of her.
But Jiang Ruonan was shocked by his words, right? The reason why I dared to resist him again and again was because I knew that he would not hurt me?
Emperor Jing Xuan turned around and walked to a palace lamp with a 'flower' pattern of ebony wood butterflies. The tall back obscures almost all the light.
"How have you been?" His slender fingertips unconsciously ran over the carved 'flower' pattern of the palace lamp.
Jiang Ruonan couldn't help laughing, there were so many people who cared about how she was doing.
"Does the emperor think that I have heard what I said good or bad?" Jiang Ruonan's voice was unconsciously full of mockery.
He deliberately sent a 'woman' to her husband's side, and even asked her how she was doing? hypocrisy
Emperor Jing Xuan turned around and rested on the palace lamp with one hand, the golden thread on the dragon robe shone under the reflection of the light, and the dragon with teeth and claws seemed to come to life, adding to his majesty.
The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, "I really hope you haven't had a good time during this time"
Jiang Ruonan's face sank and he looked at him coldly.
"But......" he lowered his eyes, and the light illuminated the small half of his face, making his facial features appear more three-dimensional, "I really don't want to see you sad, it's really contradictory." ”
Jiang Ruonan raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry, the emperor, you won't see my sad look"
"Really?" Emperor Jing Xuan sneered, and then said casually: "Do you guess what happened to Marquis An Yuan and that Yue 'girl' in the past two days?" Without you by his side, he might be able to resist the 'temptation' and 'bewilderment' of that 'woman'? There is no man in the world who can refuse a beautiful and amorous 'woman'"
Jiang Ruonan's heart tightened suddenly, "The emperor really left me in the palace on purpose" She glared at him, her gaze was as cold as a knife
"Shao Kang is your courtier, he was born and died for you, put down the rebellion, and was wholeheartedly loyal to you, believing that you are you, what are you doing now, trying to break up his family and emperor, are you not afraid that I will tell him this, and you are not afraid that what you have done will chill his heart? Aren't you afraid of losing a courtier who is loyal to you? ”
"Ruolan, you won't tell him ......" Emperor Jing Xuan smiled softly, shook his head, and then left the palace lamp and slowly walked to her side, "Because you know, once he knows at this time, the harm to him is far greater than the harm to me, he can't resist me, if he still wants to keep everything he has now, he can only endure this breath, he can't say anything, and he has to hold it and not let others know that if he really likes you, he will be uncomfortable, he will start to doubt everything, doubt when he can't see it, What are you doing with me? Just like you doubt him now"
Emperor Jing Xuan lowered his head and looked at her, smiling confidently and domineeringly, "Ruolan, so even if you watch that 'female' person take away his heart step by step, you don't dare to say it, because you know that even if you say it, the situation is not much better."
Jiang Ruonan stared at him deadly, trembling with anger, "despicable ......" gritted his teeth.
Emperor Jing Xuan continued to laugh, "Ruolan, don't be angry, I didn't do anything heinous, I just gave a 'woman' to his beloved vassals like many kings, this is a favor to him, how can it be regarded as breaking up his family?" I just send the 'woman', whether I like him or not, I can't control this, don't put all the responsibility on my head"
"Moreover, Changle's illness is not something I can control, no matter how much I like you, I will not joke with my 'daughter's life, I can only say," he looked at her and smiled very proudly, "I can only say that even God won't help you"
Jiang Ruonan gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and tried his best to resist the urge to slap him
"Your Majesty, how do you spend your time robbing the wives of courtiers? Shouldn't I feel honored, your dignified Emperor Liang is willing to 'spend' this heart for such an ordinary me, you are not small, how long do you want to be 'sex'?"
"When I don't think about you anymore, when I don't dream about you anymore, when I don't feel bad when I see you with other men, when I don't try to create opportunities to meet you" He put his arms around her waist and held her close to his chest, "Until then, I will never stop"
"You can rely on your identity to '' and control everything, but you can't control people's hearts, you won't succeed," Jiang Ruonan met his gaze and said word by word.
"We'll see," he looked at her deeply, his eyes darkly surging, and then he suddenly let go of her and walked straight out. "I believe that the next time we meet, the winner will be decided, and then we will see if you can say the same thing"
He walked out of the 'door', and his powerful voice came from outside the 'door'.
"Huang Gui, send someone to send Mrs. Hou back to the Changchun Palace"
Jiang Ruonan looked at his back that gradually disappeared into the darkness, pursed his lips, and his back was straight.
The next day, after a joint consultation with Imperial Physician Li and two other imperial physicians, it was finally determined that the princess's condition was basically stable, and the rest only needed to recuperate.
Emperor Jing Xuan and the Empress Dowager were very happy, Emperor Jing Xuan rewarded the imperial doctors on the spot, and then said to Jiang Ruonan: "Mrs. Hou, this time you have made great contributions, what should I reward you?" ”
The Queen Mother smiled on the side: "Your Majesty, this time you really have to reward Ruolan not to be stingy"
The queen and the other concubines also laughed and agreed.
Emperor Jing Xuan nodded, "Let me think about it......"
At this time, Jiang Ruonan suddenly knelt down and said to Emperor Jing Xuan: "Your Majesty, I don't know if the courtier's 'wife' can ask for a reward by himself?" ”
Everyone was stunned, they want to be rewarded? This Mrs. Hou is too arrogant, or the Queen Mother breaks the deadlock first: "Yes, Ruolan, you should knock the emperor well, last time you helped Concubine Shu Niangniang keep the dragon fetus, the emperor really acted as if nothing had happened, it was too much"
When the queen and the other concubines saw the queen mother say this, the emperor was not angry, so they echoed a few words with a smile, and the queen smiled: "I want to know what kind of reward Madame Hou will want."
Emperor Jing Xuan laughed twice, "Okay, I will allow you to blackmail me once today, say, what do you want?" ”
Jiang Ruonan looked at Emperor Jing Xuan and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, I haven't thought of what the minister's 'wife' wants for the time being, can you keep the account first, and then ask the emperor to give it when the minister's 'wife' thinks of it."
Jiang Ruonan wanted him to take back Qing Dai, but he also knew that his request could not be too excessive, and it was unreasonable to let the emperor take back the 'female' person he had given, and I believe that the Queen Mother would not support her.
Just let him owe himself once in front of everyone, if he acts excessively in the future, he also has the capital to resist
Emperor Jing Xuan didn't know what she was thinking, and his face sank slightly, but he returned to nature in an instant. "Jiang Ruonan, you are really bold, I haven't heard of the reward and can still keep it in the account"
Jiang Ruonan smiled sweetly, "Aren't I unable to think of it for a while, and I'm afraid of losing money?" The emperor can rest assured, the courtiers will not let you lose too much."
One sentence made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere eased again, and the Queen Mother pointed at Jiang Ruonan and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you girl, you really can't afford to lose at all"
Princess Changle, who had been looking at the adults, suddenly spoke, "Father, just promise Ruolan, Ruolan is fine." "In the past few days, the little princess has also followed Queen Ruolan Ruolan's 'chaos'.
Emperor Jing Xuan's face slowed down, and he looked at Jiang Ruonan, "Okay, I promise you." "It's all in his hands anyway
Jiang Ruonan thanked him: "Thank you, Emperor." He looked back at Changle and blinked.
Princess Changle's condition improved, Jiang Ruonan could go home, she cleaned up, Princess Changle was very reluctant to her, pulled her and didn't let her go, until Jiang Ruonan promised that he would come to see her often, so Changle let him go.
Jiang Ruonan, who stayed in the palace for three days and two nights, returned to the Hou Mansion.
