Chapter 25: Fainting
Because of the repeated success of the tasks assigned to Lin Cairen's brother recently, the emperor was happy that his subordinates had another general, and the joy in his heart was indescribable, so he decided to favor Lin Cairen that day, so he asked Han Mingde to reply to the man that he would go to see the prince tomorrow.
Strangely, he heard that Concubine Shu didn't bully Zhao Cairen today, but only targeted Lin Cairen.
But in the end, Zhao Cairen didn't dodge, and still let Concubine Shu be punished.
On weekdays, I know that Concubine Shu is arrogant and domineering, thinking that she gave birth to the eldest prince, he turned a blind eye, and now Concubine Shu is getting worse and worse, it seems that he has to cure the crooked atmosphere on Concubine Shu's body!
The rainstorm came quickly, the amount of rain was really heavy, and there was a slight pain on the person's body, Han Mingde thought: He feels like this for everyone, let alone Zhao Cairen, who has a thin body in front of him?
At the moment, the emperor didn't say to leave, just stared at Zhao Cairen in the rain, and didn't know what to think.
Just thinking about it, Zhao Cairen, who was not far away, suddenly fell to the ground, and the palace maid next to him shouted a few times but didn't wake up, seeing that the palace maid was trying to help Zhao Nuoqing up, but she didn't have the strength.
The palace maid didn't know what to say, and suddenly got up and ran, leaving the thin Zhao Nuoqing lying in the rain.
Suddenly, a bright yellow figure rushed down from the sedan chair, Han Mingde's eyes widened, and he hurriedly stepped forward with an umbrella, shouting, "Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon body!" ”
Shen Bochen turned a deaf ear, strode to Zhao Cairen's side, scooped it up from the bluestone bricks that were wet by the rain, and then shouted, "Go to Yangrong Palace, Xuan Taiyi!" ”
Han Mingde immediately ordered the little eunuch with fast legs to go to the imperial doctor, and the emperor carried Zhao Nuoqing into the sedan chair.
After entering the sedan chair, Shen Bochen's originally nervous mood suddenly sneered after glancing at Zhao Cairen, who had already fainted with his eyes closed and already fainting.
"If you don't wake up, I'm going to throw you down!"
I saw that the person who had closed his eyes suddenly opened his eyes slowly, and his eyes were full of panic and helplessness.
Zhao Nuoqing immediately got up and knelt down towards the emperor.
"The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine didn't deliberately pretend to be dizzy!"
Shen Bochen looked at Zhao Nuoqing coldly, and snorted coldly: "It's not intentional, then there is a reason, then you can explain it to me, why do you pretend to faint?" ”
Zhao Nuoqing pressed his head low, and his soaked clothes were sticky and wrapped around his body, I don't know if he was frozen or frightened, and he kept trembling, "Concubine...... The concubine just didn't want to get caught in the rain anymore, so she thought about pretending to faint and then asking the maid next to her to go to the Tai Hospital to announce the Tai Doctor, and then she could go back to Lingyun Pavilion. It's just that the concubine didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly appear, and you would also be drenched in the rain, if the concubine knew this, she would continue to kneel obediently, and ask the emperor to punish her! ”
Shen Bochen's eyes flashed with a look of inquiry, and he said in his heart: Could it be that she didn't play this play for him?
Looking at Zhao Nuoqing, who was thin and trembling, the emperor finally couldn't bear it, and his tone softened a little, "Punishment is inevitable, let's owe it today!" ”
Zhao Nuoqing suddenly raised his head, with a smile on his face, and a pair of clear eyes looked at him as if they were full of stars, "The emperor has forgiven the concubine?" ”
Shen Bochen's eyes moved slightly, his breathing was tight, it was undeniable that Zhao Nuoqing was very good-looking, especially those eyes, as if he could speak.
However, as the king of a country, how can he indulge in beauty?
The emperor, who reacted, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I said that I would be punished another day, how could I have said that I would forgive you?" ”
Zhao Nuoqing's originally clear eyes instantly dimmed like a extinguished candle, and he slowly lowered his head, and the emperor's heart sank.
I only heard her voice buzzing: "Why don't the emperor punish him today?" Otherwise, the concubine will remember this punishment every day, and she will definitely not be able to eat and sleep well! ”
Listening to Zhao Nuoqing's words, Shen Bochen burst out laughing, Zhao Cairen was too interesting.
Zhao Nuoqing looked up at the emperor in confusion, and saw that the coldness in the emperor's eyes had long been gone, replaced by a gentle smile, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he looked at her.
In just a moment, the emperor regained his severity, but his eyes looking at Zhao Nuoqing were a little softer, "I want to torture you like this, so that you can remember that you can't use your little tricks at will!" Concubine Shu is a high-ranking lady, and punishing you is also for your good, but you want to use small tricks to avoid punishment, which is a great disrespect to Concubine Shu! ”
Zhao Nuo hurriedly lowered his head again, and said seriously and respectfully: "The concubine knows that she is wrong, and she will never dare again!" ”
Zhao Nuoqing said in his heart: The emperor knew that Concubine Shu punished her, but he didn't ask her why, so he protected Concubine Shu, thinking that one was to remind her of the law of respect and humility, and the other was to let outsiders know that Concubine Shu also accounted for a lot of weight in his heart.
In this way, the clamp between the concubine and the queen can be maintained for a long time.
The emperor is worthy of being the king of a country, and the art of checks and balances on courtiers is still very applicable to the harem concubines.
As soon as the words fell, the sedan chair outside slowly stopped, and Han Mingde's voice came from outside the curtain, "Your Majesty, the Yangrong Palace has arrived, you and Zhao Cairen come down and change into clean clothes, don't get cold!" ”
Zhao Nuoqing was about to get up to open the sedan curtain for the emperor, and suddenly his wrist was grabbed by the emperor's slender, powerful and warm big hand, Zhao Nuoqing raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly the hand pulled her to a stumbling force, and Zhao Nuoqing fell and sat in the emperor's arms.
Her eyes widened, and she panicked, so she heard the emperor laugh and say: "Fang Cairen hugged you into the sedan chair, and now Zhao Cairen is going out so loudly, do you want to tell the world that I was bluffed by your little talent?" ”
Zhao Nuoqing hurriedly said: "No! Didn't the emperor demolish the concubines? The emperor is wise and martial, how can he be deceived by his concubines? ”
Shen Bochen forcibly held back the smile in his heart, and pretended to be serious: "But the minions outside watched me carry you who fainted into the sedan chair!" ”
Zhao Nuoqing thought about it and said cautiously: "That...... The concubine continues to pretend to be dizzy? ”
After saying that, I saw the emperor nodding slowly.
Zhao Nuoqing's cheeks flushed slightly, and she closed her eyes in resignation, waiting for the emperor to carry her out.
At this time, the rain outside was not as heavy as it had just been, and although it was still falling rapidly, it was already much lighter.
The emperor's arms are powerful, and when he picks her up, it is as easy as holding a small doll.
The sedan chair was sent to the palace of Yangrong Palace, so they didn't have to get drenched in the rain anymore, and Han Mingde immediately sent the palace maid and eunuch to bathe and change clothes for the two.
The imperial doctor waited in the palace early, waiting to check the pulse of the emperor and Zhao Nuoqing.
