The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

Shen Jingli didn't expect Gu Sichen to ask such a question. The relationship between her and Qin Yejue was too complicated.

She couldn't say it out loud, "He bullied me... a little bit, but he also saved me."

Gu Sichen's expression was solemn, "Your Majesty, do you want to get rid of the current situation?"

Shen Jingli thought about it and said, "I have already made plans for this."

Now, the most urgent task is to help Qin Yejue detoxify. As long as this is done, leaving Beijing will be safe...

"As long as Your Majesty asks, I can help Your Majesty unconditionally, even if it means my death."

Shen Jingli shook his head and refused. "No need to trouble Lord Gu. I have an idea. From now on, you should stop verbally irritating Qin Yejue. When he gets angry, he will really kill people."

Besides, Shen Jingli didn't want Gu Sichen to interfere in the feud between him and Qin Yejue, nor did he want him to offend Qin Yejue for his sake.

She had no feelings for Gu Sichen in the first place, so she just maintained normal communication with him.

"Gu Aiqing, there is no time to lose. Let's go find Minister Gu now."

"it is good."

The two of them left the Qinzheng Hall together and ran into Huo Shurou who was rushing in.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?" Huo Qinrou asked anxiously. She had heard that the emperor was in the Qinzheng Palace, so she came here specially.

After seeing Huo Shurou, Shen Jingli was obviously a little flustered and almost forgot that he had a concubine.

She felt sorry for Huo Shurou. After all, she could not give her the love of a husband, and she also sympathized with her situation.

Feudal society has done great harm to people...

Shen Jingli's eyes dodged, "Um... I have something important to deal with, please go back to the palace first."

Hearing that Shen Jingli was leaving, Huo Shurou took a step forward and asked timidly, "Your Majesty... why... never come to the Yanxi Palace to visit me?"

Shen Jingli: “…”

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Diancui echoed from the side: "Your Majesty, the Queen is thinking about you day and night, and even made plum blossom cakes for you personally. The Queen accidentally cut her hand because of this..."

Huo Shurou interrupted Diancui and said, "Don't talk too much. You have no right to speak here."

After she finished speaking, she took the food box from Diancui and handed it to Shen Jingli.

"Your Majesty, plum blossom pastry is a specialty of my hometown and my favorite snack. I don't know if the one I cooked this time is authentic, and I don't know if it suits your taste. I hope you will do me the honor of tasting it..."

Shen Jingli smiled awkwardly: "Haha... that... Imperial Concubine is so thoughtful. Thank you very much Imperial Concubine. Since you are injured, you should return to the palace first, and then find an imperial physician to treat you properly!"

After saying that, Shen Jingli instructed the eunuch beside him, "Come here and take the food box in the imperial concubine's hand to the Qianlu Palace. I will savor this box of plum blossom cakes later."

"Yes." The young eunuch took the food box. Huo Shurou's face changed as her hands fell empty.

"Your Majesty... since the day I entered the palace, you have never set foot in the Yanxi Palace again."

Shen Jingli definitely didn't dare to go to the Yanxi Palace. After all, it would be nonsense if he went there...

It’s better not to go.

Shen Jingli was sweating profusely at this moment, and his lips were a little dry. "I... I am very busy... very busy. If you need anything in the palace, just tell Song Zhuzhi and I will try my best to satisfy you. I mean, try my best."

Huo Shurou lowered her eyes, feeling unspeakable pain in her heart.

"I have everything I need. Your Majesty... Can you come to the Yanxi Palace tonight? I have made sufficient preparations and will serve you well..."

Huo Shurou was really anxious. She didn't care that Gu Sichen was still present and directly invited Shen Jingli to go to the Yanxi Palace tonight.

Now, the most urgent thing is to consummate the marriage!

Otherwise...she will be the laughing stock of the whole Dayuan!!

Naturally, Shen Jingli could not go to the Yanx Palace tonight, so she could only refuse again. She pretended to cough lightly to cover up the embarrassing situation.

"Ahem... Noble Concubine, you should go back to the palace first. I will come to find you when I have time."

Huo Shurou was puzzled. Why did the emperor still not agree even after she had said so much?

"Your Majesty... do you hate me?" Huo Shurou looked at Shen Jingli with tears in her eyes, her face full of grievance.

Shen Jingli held his forehead helplessly: "Nothing..."

"If that's the case, why doesn't the emperor want to accept me?"

Knowing that Shen Jingli didn't come to the Yanx Palace not because he hated her, Huo Shurou boldly walked towards Shen Jingli.

Gu Sichen narrowed his eyes slightly: "My Lady, as the Emperor's concubine, you need to be more reserved and decent in public."

"..."

Huo Shurou clenched her handkerchief tightly, her face turning pale and blue. With the Regent in front of her and Master Gu behind her, it would be extremely difficult for her to consummate her marriage with the Emperor.

Could it be that the husband I married is really a homosexual? ! ?

But even if the emperor is gay, he still needs to have children to carry on the family line, and he can't have children himself! !

The rumor that the emperor and the regent were suspected of having an affair had long been rife.

However, Huo Shurou was very open-minded. She had no feelings for this handsome emperor. Besides, she never wanted the emperor's love.

The education she received since she was a child was that...her husband's love was not the most important thing, and the position of the legal wife and giving birth to a legitimate son were the most important things.

Love is nothing but vanity, an illusory thing.

Even if he gets it, it's just a matter of time. Men will get tired of the old and love the new sooner or later.

Just like my father, he has concubines one after another, but there is only one legal wife, my mother!

My mother has the support of her mother's family. As long as she doesn't make any mistakes, my father will never ignore her in this life.

No, it should be...

Even if you make a mistake, it won't have any impact if you hide your tail. Even if Dad loves those girls very much, he still has to consider Mother's feelings in front of others.

No matter how favored the concubine is, the children under her knees must respectfully call their mother "legitimate mother".

As the legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor, she was destined to share the honor and disgrace of the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Even if her father loved Huo Cairong, a concubine's daughter, it was useless. After all, the daughter of a concubine could not be compared with the legitimate daughter.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be her who entered the palace at this time...

Huo Shurou's eyes turned red, and she suddenly knelt down on the ground, "I beg Your Majesty to come to the Yanxi Palace to see me..."

Shen Jingli was frightened by this and took a few steps back, "My Lady, you don't have to be like this..."

Huo Shurou raised her head with tears in her eyes, her voice trembling slightly, "Your Majesty... why? Why are you unwilling to accept me as your concubine?"

Shen Jingli's forehead was covered with sweat, and he whispered, "Actually, I... I have some minor health problems. It's not the concubine's fault that I don't go to Yanxi Palace, it's my fault."

Huo Shurou asked, "Your Majesty...what's wrong with you?"

Shen Jingli covered his face and said, "I am impotent... I am already treating it, please give me some more time, Concubine."

Gu Sichen: “…”

The eunuch and maidservant at the side (gossipy face): "..."
