After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

The emperor was extremely excited today and asked for water three times for the first time in his life.

When everything was ready, the emperor held Concubine Lin in his arms.

Concubine Lin was really tired today, she lay lazily in the emperor's arms.

The emperor stroked her smooth and round shoulders, "My beloved, are you willing to practice the art of immortality with me?"

Concubine Lin widened her eyes and looked at the emperor with surprise.

"Can I really do this?"

The concubines in the harem all knew that the emperor was practicing Taoism with the Taoist priest. Since the emperor started practicing Taoism, his spirits have been getting better and better.

Now, the emperor actually proposed that she be allowed to go together. Does this confirm her position in his heart?

The emperor recalled that just now Concubine Lin danced gracefully like a fairy descending from earth.

He began to believe that Lady Lin must have been sent by God to summon him and guide him on the path of cultivation.

"You have no joke!"

Concubine Lin stood up and knelt on the bed, kowtowed to the emperor, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

Then she turned around and bowed in the other direction.

The emperor was very puzzled. "Which deity are you worshipping, my beloved concubine?"

Concubine Lin turned around and looked at the emperor.

"I thank Concubine De for her kindness. If it weren't for her kindness and help, I would never have met the Emperor."

"If I hadn't met the emperor, I would have lived a miserable life, and I wouldn't have been able to receive your favor like I am now, and I wouldn't have had the opportunity to practice Taoism with you."

Concubine Lin spoke very sincerely, her two innocent big eyes staring at the emperor brightly.

"Oh? Tell me how Concubine De helped you."

Only then did Concubine Lin tell the whole story of how she was bullied and framed by the other concubines and was almost disfigured, but was saved because of the appearance of Concubine De.

After the emperor heard this, there was not much expression on his face.

"A while ago, I went to pay my respects to the Empress Defei. Seeing that my clothes were thin, the Empress gave me a fox fur coat, which is very warm."

"I gave you so many clothes, but I didn't even say a word of thanks. How come you took it to heart when Concubine De gave you a fox fur coat?"

The emperor seemed jealous.

Concubine Lin stepped forward and put her arms around the emperor's neck.

"Your Majesty, how else do you want me to thank you? I belong to you from head to toe, from inside to outside."

The emperor laughed out loud when he heard this.

He reached out and rubbed Lady Lin, who blushed and pressed herself against him.

The emperor pinched her nose and said, "Little devil, do you still want to drain me dry?"

Concubine Lin lowered her head shyly, "Your Majesty is too powerful, I only ask for your pity."

"Your Majesty, what do you think? Can I also have a child?"

"I met the emperor's eldest grandson the other day. He was so handsome."

"Do you think the child I give birth to will be as good-looking as him?"

The emperor smiled but did not respond.

Concubine Lin turned around and lay on the emperor's chest.

"Your Majesty, you are still as brave as ever. You shouldn't leave everything to the prince."

"Look, he doesn't even have time to go back to the Crown Prince's Mansion. How pitiful it is for the Crown Princess to stay alone in an empty room."

"If I were to ask this concubine, the Crown Prince is not even one-tenth as good as the Emperor."

Seeing the unclear expression on the emperor's face, Concubine Lin gritted her teeth and continued speaking.

"Your Majesty is so busy with government affairs, but you still gave birth to so many princes."

"However, the Crown Prince only has one legitimate son, the eldest grandson of the Emperor."

"The Crown Prince is not allowing the Crown Princess to go to the East Palace, nor is he going back to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Could it be that he is..."

The emperor threw Concubine Lin off his body.

"You are so presumptuous that you dare to slander the prince in front of me. Aren't you afraid that I will chop off your head?"

Lady Lin knelt straight on the bed, tears streaming down her face.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am also worried about you. If there is something wrong with the prince's health, he should be treated as soon as possible."

"He is the future heir to the throne. If his inappropriate behavior leads to the ruin of your reputation, Your Majesty would definitely not want to see that!"

"If, Your Majesty, you feel that I have overstepped my authority, please chop off my head!"

After saying this, Concubine Lin looked directly at the emperor, tears silently flowing from her eyes.

The emperor suddenly remembered that when Concubine Lin was dancing just now, she seemed to be floating away.

"Little Anzi! Change your clothes!" Eunuch An hurriedly walked in with his head lowered.

The emperor didn't wait for Eunuch An to straighten his clothes, he just walked out angrily.

Eunuch An hurriedly followed him out the door.

Lady Lin collapsed on the bed at once, and Qiuyu came in at this time.

"Beauty, are you okay?"

The emperor's angry look just now was too terrifying.

Lady Lin stretched out her hand to her, "Hurry, help me up."

Concubine Lin is now very weak in the knees. Just now, she thought that the emperor would really chop off her head!

Fortunately, fortunately, she escaped!

No matter what the result is, she has fulfilled the promise she made to Concubine De.

The emperor walked back to the imperial study angrily, "Xiao Anzi, summon the crown prince."

Eunuch An hurried to the East Palace without even touching the ground.

He was far away just now, and didn't know why the emperor was so angry later when the relationship between the emperor and Concubine Lin was so harmonious before?

He now wished he had a pair of wind-fire wheels under his feet so that he could reach the East Palace in one step.

The Crown Prince was reading memorials in the East Palace. When he heard Eunuch An summon him to an audience, he did not take it too seriously.

Since the emperor intended to delegate power, he would sometimes summon him in the middle of the night.

But today he felt different.

The emperor sitting on the dragon throne had a gloomy face and looked up and down at the prince standing under the dragon table.

Ever since the prince was demoted, he has become different from before and always exudes a bit of gloom.

The emperor used to think that it was because the prince could not accept the fact that he went from being a favored child of heaven to being a commoner.

However, the gloom of the prince now seems to be even stronger.

"Father, I have summoned you, but what is the matter?"

The emperor suppressed his doubts and said, "I haven't seen the Crown Princess for a long time. When will you bring her to the palace to pay her respects to me?"

The prince knelt down hurriedly and said, "It's my fault. I thought that my father and the Taoist priest were busy with their cultivation, so I asked the Crown Princess not to enter the palace to disturb my father."

"Last time a snake entered the Crown Prince's Mansion, the Crown Princess must have been frightened. As her husband, you should accompany her for a while."

"Look, your Laoliu is doing a great job. He stays at home with Laoliu's wife. You should learn from Laoliu in this regard."

"I grant you a few days' leave. Take Hao'er back with you to accompany the Crown Princess."

The prince suppressed the strangeness in his heart and said, "Yes, I will obey your order!"

The prince sent someone to pick up Xiao Minhao, and here he called the secret guards who followed the emperor.

"What's going on? Why did Father suddenly want to meet the Crown Princess?"
