The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 25

Zhang Baolin's heart was beating fast, and he was a little panicked.

It was the first time she spoke so much to the Emperor, and she was afraid that she might not perform well by accident.

She held her chest with a handkerchief and pressed it, then met Emperor Yongjia's eyes in panic, not yet figuring out how to start talking.

Emperor Yongjia waited for a moment and said, "Just tell me, as long as it's true, I won't pursue it."

"Your Majesty, I was in the back mountain that day..." Zhang Baolin then told him everything that had happened in the past few days. The presence of Emperor Yongjia made her feel particularly at ease.

Emperor Yongjia listened to Zhang Baolin's words without showing any emotion in his eyes, and it seemed that Zhang Baolin was almost losing confidence as he continued to speak.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what to do about other things, but can the child in my belly be born safely?"

"Of course my child can." Emperor Yongjia looked at her helpless, his tone cold and calm, he called Concubine Dong in, and ordered: "Concubine, the fetus in Zhang Baolin's belly is handed over to you. Eight months later, I want to see a healthy baby come out."

Seeing Emperor Yongjia stand up and about to leave, Concubine Dong Xian hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, I have a request. Can I arrange for Zhang Baolin to live in my palace? I am usually busy, and I always feel uneasy when I am not around to watch over him."

Emperor Yongjia glanced at her and said, "Since I have given you the power to manage the six palaces, you can naturally make your own decisions on these matters."

"Yes. I will definitely live up to the emperor's trust." Concubine Dong now felt confident.

There is never a shortage of people vying for favor in the harem, and she can wait for the emperor's final decision on this matter.

But at the moment, the dragon seed in Zhang Baolin's belly is the most important, so she did not ask Emperor Yongjia how to deal with it, but only asked if she could take Zhang Baolin in.

For other matters, he always has to listen to all sides and make his own investigation before making a decision.

Emperor Yongjia came just now, and there were only Zhang Baolin and her in the palace. Everyone else had gone back.

Concubine Dong thought to herself that even if the imperial edict had not yet come down, those who had done wrong things should have been anxious a long time ago.

--

At this time, everyone in Wen Zhaoyi's palace was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Since returning to the palace, she has been unable to eat or sleep, and has been sending maids and eunuchs to Concubine Dong's palace to inquire about news.

"How is it? Did the emperor go to see Zhang Baolin?"

A young eunuch who came back in a hurry gasped and said, "The emperor has entered Concubine Dong's palace."

After hearing this, Wen Zhaoyi couldn't sleep anymore. She stood up and walked around the room, waiting for the next eunuch to come back with a message.

"It's all that bitch's fault. Qin Liuse must have figured it out and was scheming with Zhang Baolin to set me up!" Wen Zhaoyi was so angry that her head was dizzy.

"What a bitch! And that Zhang Baolin, how come she is as lucky as a pig? She didn't fall to death like that? The farmer's land is so fertile! She can still keep this in her stomach!"

The maid comforted her, "Empress Zhaoyi, Zhang Baolin was just a maid of Lady Meng. I heard that her family was just a peasant family, even worse than a slave. Naturally, she had a lowly life and a tough life."

Besides Zhang Baolin, who was sold to human traffickers by his parents in exchange for silver, there were also slaves like her who were born in the family. Their parents were slaves, and their children were also slaves.

However, having been accustomed to wealth and splendor, the servant also developed the temper of a lady.

Wen Zhaoyi snorted, "A farmer who makes a living in the fields wants to be on equal footing with me. What a sweet dream! I am ashamed for the emperor's child for something like this born in my belly."

"That's not the case. Zhaoyi helped her get through this early because she was doing a good deed for her. She should also thank our Zhaoyi for not letting her child be looked down upon from the moment he was born."

Wen Zhaoyi naturally thought so too, otherwise she wouldn't have planned this without blinking an eye.

There was no news from the other side for a long time, and Wen Zhaoyi couldn't sit still until there was no settlement.

"I don't know what the emperor would do if he found out. Would he be furious?" Concubine Wen was worried.

The maid advised her, "This matter has not been accomplished, and Zhang Baolin's baby is fine. Even if there is suspicion, there is no evidence to prove that it is Zhaoyi. What is Zhaoyi afraid of? The more afraid she is, the easier it is for others to see through her. Besides, the emperor is the master's student, so he has to do it for the master's sake."

Wen Zhaoyi sat down only after hearing this. Just as she sat down, the eunuch ran back from the yard.

Panting for breath, Wen Zhaoyi immediately jumped up again, "What's going on? Is there any movement in Concubine Dong's palace? Is Zhu Wanxi coming here?"

The young eunuch said breathlessly, "No, no."

Wen Zhaoyi was furious and kicked the eunuch in the face, "You little slave, hurry up and tell me what you are doing."

The young eunuch thought to himself that he didn’t, he just jogged all the way back and was almost out of breath.

Holding back her dying breath, she spoke incoherently, "Replying to Zhaoyi, there was no movement over there. The Emperor sat in Concubine Dong's palace for a while and then came out. I looked around and didn't see anyone getting angry, and Concubine Dong didn't move either. I came back to report to Zhaoyi immediately."

Without getting angry, Wen Zhaoyi sat down contentedly.

The maid next to her looked smug, "Isn't what this servant said right? Why would the emperor care about the life of that lowly embryo?"

--

After Emperor Yongjia left Concubine Dong's palace, he went straight to Shu Yuexuan.

But Qin Liuse didn't know about it at the moment.

Because she fell and was injured in the morning, her clothes were dirty. When she returned to Shu Yuexuan, Qin Liuse immediately changed into clean clothes.

She looked at the wound in the mirror for a long time, ate lunch, took a short nap, and then sat in front of her dressing table again, staring at her face.

What a sin!

When Emperor Yongjia arrived at Shuyuexuan, he saw Qin Liuse wearing a plain robe, sitting in front of the mirror, pouting her lips, and looking unhappy.

Qin Liuse looked at herself in the mirror and the wound on her forehead. She held the medicine in her hand and thought sadly, what if she really got a scar?

"Why are you sitting here alone with such a miserable look on your face?"

The ointment in her hand was taken away. Qin Liuse looked at the man who suddenly broke in in the mirror. Who else could it be but Emperor Yongjia?

"What does Your Majesty know? I am talentless and incompetent, not smart. The only thing I have is this face. If this face is disfigured, how can I please Your Majesty?" Although Qin Liuse was very scared when Emperor Yongjia came, she was able to guess that he would come today. She was quick-witted and knew how to act pitiful and coquettish at the right time.

Emperor Yongjia pinched her nose and said, "You look at me like this, am I so superficial?"

Qin Liuse raised her head and glared at Emperor Yongjia. She was very good at flirting at this time. Then she lowered her eyes and said coquettishly, "Isn't it?"

Could it be that Emperor Yongjia was attracted by her soul?

You know it's impossible. All in all, the number of days she spent in the emperor's bedchamber can be counted on one hand.

Emperor Yongjia did not respond. He was indeed greedy for her body and face, so he felt a little distressed when he saw the wound on her forehead.

Emperor Yongjia took the medicine stick, took some medicine from the ointment, and gently applied it on her forehead.

"It's a pity to leave scars on such fine skin. I'll have someone send you a few boxes of skin beautifying cream from the Western Regions. It's very effective."

Qin Liuse said thank you to the emperor, and thought in her heart that as long as there was no one else around and the two of them were alone together, Emperor Yongjia was really like a great lover or husband.

But she only has him as her husband, while the dog emperor has so many wives. It’s really a big loss for her.

I wonder if he treats the beauties in the harem the same way?

When he pampers you like this, it's like you are the bright moon in his palm.

Emperor Yongjia sniffed at her neck, which made Qin Liuse blush a little. She quickly pushed him away. She didn't want to do that with the wound on. She would sweat and it would hurt the wound, which would be very painful for her.

Moreover, it was only broad daylight and the sun was just about to set, so why was Emperor Yongjia already in such high spirits?

Come to think of it, it seems that ever since that day when he used his hand on her... he hasn't called anyone to sleep with her.

Thinking of this, Qin Liuse's face turned red again. She didn't want to think about these things.

But it was also in this room that day.

At this time, there were only two of them. The masculine aura of Emperor Yongjia was too strong and too direct. With only the two of them together, the atmosphere became ambiguous, causing her to always think about those things involuntarily.

"What are you thinking, my love?"

This was the first time that Emperor Yongjia called her his beloved concubine. Qin Liuse tried hard to control the doubts in her heart and said lightly, "I was wondering, has the emperor visited Zhang Baolin?"

Emperor Yongjia lifted her chin and said, "You care about others so much, but you don't care about yourself at all?"

Qin Liuse's face was bright and charming. "Isn't it okay? It's just that Zhang Baolin has been frightened these two days. She needs the emperor's concern."

Emperor Yongjia did not want to talk about this, so he took her hand and said, "I have not yet thanked my beloved concubine for saving my child."

Qin Liuse's eyes were filled with surprise, as if she had not expected it at all. "Does the emperor trust me?"

Emperor Yongjia pinched her face and said, "I am not old yet, and I am not confused."

The concubines in the harem use all kinds of strange means to compete for favor. They grew up in the palace, became princes, married wives, and took in many beauties. Now that he is the emperor, he has even more women.

Emperor Yongjia understood these tactics of winning favor, but he just didn't want to pay any attention to them.

However, Emperor Yongjia will not sit idly by when someone wants to harm the heir to the throne and bring harm to others, as happened today.

Qin Liuse's heart was beating fast. Although she had long guessed that the dog emperor would believe her, she was still uneasy, fearing that Emperor Yongjia would think that she was playing along and deliberately not telling him directly when she found out that Zhang Baolin was pregnant.

Qin Liuse hugged the thin and strong waist of Emperor Yongjia and said, "At that time, I didn't expect that Doctor Zhang, a doctor serving the emperor, would actually do this. I think someone instructed me to do this."

Qin Liuse blinked innocently and looked at Emperor Yongjia, "Your Majesty will not blame me, right?"

She didn't wait for Emperor Yongjia's reply, and turned her head to bury it in his chest and acted like a spoiled child, "I don't care, I don't care, Your Majesty will definitely not blame me."

Emperor Yongjia smiled and stroked her head gently, "I will naturally not be so confused."

If not for this, he would have lost not only a child today, but also the woman in front of him. Emperor Yongjia knew that he could not bear to let her go.

His interest in a woman has never lasted long. Qin Liuse has only been serving him for a short time. He doesn't know what the future will hold, but for now, he is definitely not tired of her.

Even if he was tired of the women who had been with him, as long as they didn't act like a troublemaker, he would give them the wealth and glory they deserved, as seen by outsiders, and would not treat them unfairly.

Now it seems that Concubine Wen was indeed a little too self-righteous.

Qin Liuse hugged Emperor Yongjia and acted coquettishly for a while. She just wanted to hold him in her hands a little longer, but she didn't expect to directly anger the dog emperor.

Sensing that he was getting interested, Qin Liuse immediately bounced away from him.

Dog Emperor, how could it be so easy for a gun to go off accidentally!

"You don't want to serve me?" Emperor Yongjia asked in a low voice, "Your wound from that day hasn't healed yet?"

"Of course!" Qin Liuse took away his hand that was intended to check her injuries, and cursed him in her heart for having ulterior motives.

She said weakly, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't."

Emperor Yongjia held her in his arms and made her sit in his arms. Because of the big difference in their heights and body shapes, Qin Liuse felt really safe in this hug, and Mingyue, who was called in to pour tea, also blushed.

"Why not?" Emperor Yongjia was in a leisurely mood listening to Liu Se.

After Mingyue left, Qin Liuse said, "First of all, I am injured."

Qin Liuse touched her forehead and said, "I don't want to serve the emperor in this ugly state. I'm afraid that my wound will hurt. I'm also afraid that I'll get hurt again while serving the emperor. Then people will say that I went into battle with an injury."

"They dare not." Emperor Yongjia said lightly.

Qin Liuse thought that she didn't dare to do it in front of him, because who knew what was going on in his mind and behind his back. Although she really didn't care, she had more important things to do right now.

"Secondly, doesn't the emperor know why I was also framed this time?" Qin Liuse seemed to be looking for an accusation.

"Why?" Emperor Yongjia fed Qin Liuse a sip of tea.

"Of course, it's because Your Majesty has been doting on me too much lately, and I'm too eye-catching." Qin Liuse hugged Emperor Yongjia's neck and acted coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you'd better treat me equally."

"You are quite open-minded." Emperor Yongjia said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Qin Liuse immediately said in a flattering manner, "Although I am reluctant to do so, the emperor has been summoning me for a long time, and I have made many enemies."

"Then blame me?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Qin Liuse lay on his shoulder, acting coquettishly and tenderly. "Just wait until my injury is healed."

After a while of coaxing and persuading, Emperor Yongjia finally agreed not to turn over her card tonight.

But before Qin Liuse had the chance to thank him, Emperor Yongjia held her face, pinched her chin, and started kissing her mouth mercilessly.

Qin Liuse was in a panic, and there was also a smell of fragrant tea. She was supported by a big hand from behind, and she had no choice but to let others make the decision.

When she was almost out of breath, Emperor Yongjia said to her in between breaths, "I promise you, I will enjoy it when you are well, but you have to compensate me."

Qin Liuse rolled her eyes in her heart, but Emperor Yongjia was so skilled that she just followed her instincts.
