Li Yuanjing only felt a buzzing in his head, as if something exploded in his mind.

Feeling cold all over the body.

Li Yuanjing, who was always calm and composed, had his fingers trembling slightly and his throat was extremely dry. He tried to calm down: "Is it, is it serious?"

Deshun wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly replied, "Noble Concubine Chen is fine. Her arm was scratched and the female assassin committed suicide on the spot. Noble Concubine Chen has returned to Yongning Palace and is summoning the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital."

Li Yuanjing strode towards Yongning Palace.

De Shun followed closely behind, telling Li Yuanjing how Concubine Chen was assassinated.

[Today, Shen Wei went to Anguo Temple early. After burning incense and praying, she had a vegetarian meal in the temple, visited the orphans in the backyard of Anguo Temple, and gave out porridge at the gate of the temple. Before returning, she went to the back mountain to appreciate the spring scenery for a while.

On the way back, the road was relatively calm. Shen Wei remembered that she needed to buy perfume for Zhang Miaoyu, so she sent a maid to buy it. The guard of honor stopped for a while on the official road.

At this time, a nun came along the official road to beg for alms. Shen Wei was kind-hearted and personally gave the cakes to the nun.

Unexpectedly, the nun turned out to be Xie Fanghua, the daughter of the criminal Xie family! Xie Fanghua had offended Shen Wei in the palace and was shaved and became a nun. After the fall of the Xie family, Xie Fanghua was full of resentment and planned this assassination.

Shen Wei was lucky and only had her arm scratched.

Xie Fanghua was escorted by the palace servants. She yelled like crazy: "It's worth it to drag the imperial concubine to die with me!"

After saying this, he committed suicide on the spot.

Shen Wei's arm was slightly injured, so she simply bandaged the wound and returned to the palace. 】

...

Li Yuanjing ran briskly towards Yongning Palace. Li Chengtai and Li Chengyou also ran to see Shen Wei's injury.

The scenery of Yongning Palace remains unchanged.

The emperor arrived, and the palace maids hurriedly paid their respects. Li Yuanjing strode into the familiar courtyard and walked into the main house impatiently.

The main room was brightly lit. A white jade vase on the desk was filled with fresh willow branches. Shen Wei was leaning against the chaise longue. Perhaps because she was too frightened, her face was exceptionally pale, and her lips were completely bloodless.

There was some blood on her right arm, and her sleeve was cut by a sharp knife. The wound was very shallow and not much blood was flowing. It was simply bandaged with white cloth.

"Your Majesty?" Shen Wei saw Li Yuanjing and the corners of her pale mouth opened.

Li Yuanjing's face was gloomy.

He glanced back and forth over Shen Wei's body several times, examining the simply bandaged wound.

Fortunately, the injuries were minor.

The huge rock hanging in Li Yuanjing's heart fell to the ground with a bang. When Li Yuanjing was about to ask in detail, the two little kids Li Chengtai and Li Chengyou rushed over.

"Mother concubine!"

Li Chengyou's eyes were filled with tears: "When I grow up, I will definitely carry a sword to protect my mother, wuwuwu."

Shen Wei smiled gently and patted her two sons' heads: "Mother is fine. Her arm was slightly scraped. The imperial physician will rebandage it later. The wound will heal tomorrow."

Seeing that Shen Wei was not seriously injured, Li Yuanjing summoned the palace servants who were accompanying him and sternly reprimanded them: "What are the imperial guards doing when the imperial concubine was assassinated on the official road?"

The palace maid knelt on the ground in fear and said, "Your Majesty, the master did not bring the imperial guards with him on this trip, saying that he was afraid of disturbing the people along the way."

This time when she went to Anguo Temple to burn incense, Shen Wei acted low-key and did not make a big fuss.

Li Yuanjing frowned and turned to look at Shen Wei: "When you leave the palace in the future, be sure to bring the Imperial Guards and Tiger Guards with you."

Shen Wei's face was slightly cold, and her eyebrows were slightly drooped: "My death outside today just happened to fulfill the emperor's wish."

Li Yuanjing was stunned: "Don't talk nonsense!"

How could he let Shen Wei die?

The atmosphere in the main room was a bit tense, and the two children looked confused. Li Yuanjing asked the palace servants to take the two children back to the Cining Palace. In the huge main room, only Shen Wei and Li Yuanjing were left.

Shen Wei's pretty face was as pale as paper. She ignored Li Yuanjing, her eyes and brows showing grievance, and she lowered her head to drink tea.

After a month of cold war, this was the first time the two were alone in a room.

Li Yuanjing thought of what the Queen Mother told him today - [Born in an imperial family, true love is hard to come by].

Being in the royal family, Li Yuanjing actually never took the complicated emotions of the women in the harem to heart. When he was in a good mood, he would coax them and pretend to be accommodating; when he was in a bad mood, he would ignore them.

A real man should have ambitions. National and family affairs are much more important than the beautiful women in the harem.

To put it bluntly, the concubines in the harem are merely tools for the royal family to continue their lineage and for the emperor to maintain the situation of the previous dynasty.

Shen Wei is the woman who pleases him the most.

Li Yuanjing never thought that one day he would pay attention to Shen Wei's joys and sorrows and worry about her. He suffered a lot during the cold war for a month.

He vaguely realized that Shen Wei was different, Shen Wei was unique.

Li Yuanjing took a deep breath, walked to Shen Wei, held Shen Wei's hand with his broad hand, and said in a low voice: "Weiwei, I was wrong."

Shen Wei raised her eyes slightly, her eyes were still red.

Anyway, there was no one here, so Li Yuanjing simply continued to apologize: "I was confused that day and couldn't control my emotions. I will not misunderstand you again in the future."

This was the first time he took the initiative to admit his mistake, and he did it from the bottom of his heart.

As the emperor of the Daqing Empire, Li Yuanjing gradually got used to wearing a mask of disguise. His joys, sorrows, anger and happiness were all purposeful, serving as a tool to manipulate power.

Li Yuanjing said seriously: "Weiwei, believe me."

He had never put himself in such a low position.

He thought that Shen Wei would definitely forgive him. Since ancient times, couples quarreled, quarreled at the head of the bed and made up at the foot of the bed. There was no long-lasting conflict between couples in the world.

Shen Wei tilted her head slightly, looking at the emperor who was so close to her. The corners of her pale lips twitched: "Your Majesty, you don't like me at all, right? You only regard me as a toy for your amusement."

Li Yuanjing: "How can you think like that! I have never considered you as a toy for fun!"

He took the initiative to apologize.

Shen Wei actually still doubts his sincerity?

Shen Wei's eyes slowly turned red, and her big eyes were full of grievance and disappointment: "That day, I fell into the river and became unconscious. I always thought that it was the emperor who saved me, but it was Prince Heng who jumped into the water to save me... The emperor doesn't have me in his heart at all!"

Li Yuanjing was stunned.

Unexpectedly, he was angry that "Prince Heng coveted Shen Wei", and Shen Wei was angry that "the Emperor did not save her".

Li Yuanjing tried to explain: "The river was turbulent, and I was struggling with Yuanli, and I fell on the boat. Yuanli stood by the boat, which made it easier for him to go down to the river to rescue people! Besides, if there was no one on the boat to hold the pole and steer the boat, how could he rescue you if it drifted downstream?"

If both of them jumped into the river, the boat would float away. The distance to the shore was so far that they would be exhausted by the time they reached the shore.

Shen Wei said angrily: "Prince Heng is an outsider, but he is willing to risk his life to save me! Your Majesty and I have slept in the same bed for many years, and your Majesty is worse than an outsider!"

Li Yuanjing was overwhelmed and tried to reason with Shen Wei: "Weiwei, stop being unreasonable."

But women are sometimes unreasonable by nature.

Shen Wei said angrily: "Your Majesty even questioned whether I had an affair with Prince Heng. Isn't Your Majesty being unreasonable?"

Li Yuanjing: ...

Li Yuanjing now completely understood Shen Wei's feelings. Being questioned about one's sincerity for no reason would make anyone sad.

Only when a boomerang pierces yourself will you understand what empathy means.
