Chapter 8: I'll Send You Back

The sun is about to set.

Wei Zhuang's eyebrows moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes after taking a deep breath. This sleep was too comfortable, he felt that since the ninety-ninth century, this was the most solid sleep.

He looked down and found that the two palace maids were gone, thinking that he had fallen asleep and was called away by the little eunuch.

Wei Zhuang got up, stretched comfortably, he walked out and asked the little eunuch guarding the door, "Did any ministers come while I was sleeping?" ”

"Back to the emperor, only General Xu sent someone to send a pair of jade bracelets, saying that the emperor had instructed him."

"Oh, didn't the other ministers come?"

"Uh......" The little eunuch hesitated for a moment and said, "The minister didn't come, but a maid came at noon." ”

"Maid?"

"Yes...... The little maid next to the queen, Xiaoyu. ”

Wei Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Xiaoyu, what is she doing here?" ”

With the emperor on one side and the queen on the other, the little eunuch thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate to say anything, so he could only come to Wei Zhuang and say after being embarrassed for a long time: "Your Majesty, let's go to Aiwan Palace in person and ask." ”

Wei Zhuang looked at the little eunuch's expression and felt that something was wrong, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, go to Aiwan Palace." ”

……

Wei Zhuang arrived at Aiwan Palace, just in time for the palace maid to bring the food.

The mouth-watering dishes were placed on the table in an orderly manner, and Wei Zhuang and Feng Shuwan sat opposite each other.

There were only two people in the room, and the atmosphere was a little deserted. Wei Zhuang looked at Feng Shuwan, whose face was sinking like water, and took the lead in speaking.

"Hehe, I'm too tired this morning to go straight back to the dormitory."

"Hmm." Feng Shuwan was expressionless, and replied with a word in a low voice.

"Well, how are you doing?"

"Your Majesty Xie cares, Shuwan is very good."

"How are you eating, there is a new batch of imperial chefs in the imperial dining room, do the dishes suit your taste?"

"Hmm."

There was another emotionless response, and Wei Zhuang's brows moved slightly. In the previous ninety-ninth life, although Feng Shuwan had always kept a distance from him, her attitude had never been as cold as today, and she had a feeling of rejecting him thousands of miles away.

Is it because I didn't go to her in the morning that she was angry with herself?

Thinking of this, Wei Zhuang further explained: "Hehe, it's strange to say, I have been following the first emperor to the court for several years, and I am already used to it, but somehow today I am extremely sleepy, and I fell asleep when I went back." ”

Feng Shuwan laughed a little self-deprecatingly when she heard this, Xiao Yu saw the two palace maids in his room, but he said that he would go back and fall asleep......

Things really developed as she thought, he was not special, he still did the same thing as those kings in history, and he couldn't give him the ordinary life he wanted after all.

It's just that......

Feng Shuwan's heart tingled slightly, she had been prepared for these things, but why did it happen today......

Wei Zhuang watched Feng Shuwan's face change, and he was a little apprehensive, so he found a topic to say.

"By the way, did Xiaoyu go to me at noon, is there something wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Oh...... Hahaha, it's so interesting to go to court today, Lin Jianghe, do you know, he actually ......"

"Let's eat."

Feng Shuwan's cold voice interrupted Wei Zhuang, and she picked up her chopsticks to pick up the dishes by herself. Wei Zhuang's smile froze suddenly, and the whole person was stunned for two seconds in embarrassment before silently holding the chopsticks in his hand.

Feng Shuwan, the chef's specialty, couldn't taste anything, but just mechanically sent the food to her mouth.

This atmosphere lasted for a minute.

Smack......

Wei Zhuang gently laid the chopsticks flat on the bowl, and Feng Shuwan wiped them with a handkerchief at the corner of her mouth, waiting for Wei Zhuang's next words.

"Shuwan." Wei Zhuang suddenly asked, "Do you really not like me?" ”

This fluttering sentence made Feng Shuwan's heart tremble, she lowered her head and her eyes fluttered, and her lips opened lightly, as if she wanted to say something.

However, Wei Zhuang suddenly interrupted her.

"Alright." Wei Zhuang waved his hand again: "I should know the answer." ”

Wei Zhuang looked at Feng Shuwan quietly for three seconds, and then showed a smiling face, just like when he saw Feng Shuwan for the first time three years ago today.

"Shuwan, I'll send you back."

Feng Shuwan raised her head abruptly and looked at Wei Zhuang in disbelief, her voice trembling a little.

"You...... What do you mean? ”

"I mean, send you out of the palace and back to your own home."

Feng Shuwan's head was messed up.

Going home was something she had dreamed of for three years, and she had thought about a showdown with Wei Zhuang countless times, telling him that she didn't like him, that she didn't like life in the palace, that she wanted to pursue a dull life, and that she wanted to leave.

However, when these words were really said by Wei Zhuang, she felt a little breathless.

He hadn't said those words for three years. But today, the day he ascended the throne and became the emperor, the two palace maids were called into the palace by him, and the third anniversary of their marriage...... He's going to drive himself away.

After he drove himself away, did he want to make those two palace maids queens?

Was he afraid that he would stop him from taking a concubine......

Thinking of this, anger accumulated in Feng Shuwan's heart little by little.

Suddenly, she looked at Wei Zhuang with a cold smile and said, "Drive me away, you can live with those two palace maids, don't worry, I will leave tomorrow, and I will definitely not disturb the emperor's good interest!" ”

Wei Zhuang listened inexplicably: "What are you talking about, I didn't chase you, what do you mean by two palace maids?" ”

"Hmph." Feng Shuwan looked at Wei Zhuang's clumsy "performance" and couldn't help but debunk him: "I'm just an insignificant little woman, Your Majesty doesn't have to go to great lengths to deceive me." ”

Wei Zhuang's head grew even bigger: "Is it good for you to make it clear, what did I lie to you?" ”

Feng Shuwan stared at him and said word by word: "Xiaoyu saw with her own eyes that two palace maids entered your dormitory when you were sleeping. ”

"Huh?" Wei Zhuang suddenly realized: "It turns out that Xiaoyu went to look for me at noon, that's what happened." ”

Wei Zhuang didn't explain, but looked at Feng Shuwan with some loss and asked, "Do you think I slept with two palace maids, do you think I asked you to go home to drive you away and then marry another wife?" ”

Feng Shuwan gritted her teeth, and she didn't know when her eyes were already red: "Isn't it, the two palace maids also received two bracelets from the eunuch before leaving, isn't this what you rewarded!" ”

She suddenly took a deep breath, and her ethereal voice seemed to carry a whimper, "You probably forgot what day it was......"

Wei Zhuang was a little stunned with his mouth half-open, he had never seen Feng Shuwan show such a look.

He muttered a little lonely.

"That's what you think of me......"

"What day is today, how can I forget, I have passed the ninety-ninth life."

Wei Zhuang took out a small package from his bosom and put it on the table, unbuttoning the outermost brocade to reveal what was breaded inside.

Under the shadow of the candle, a pair of jade bracelets engraved with mandarin duck patterns shone brightly.
