Seizing the throne, abolishing the adopted son, the imperial concubine rose to prominence

The emperor leaned over, picked up the woman who didn't know whether she was hot or cold, and strode into the hall.

Fortunately, the hall was warm due to the charcoal fire, and the emperor's face looked better.

Gu Youning was placed on the couch. Perhaps because his body had warmed up and consciousness had slowly returned, he shivered violently and curled up involuntarily.

The emperor stopped trying to get up and, with a sullen face, embraced the woman again. "You still feel cold? You're wearing so little clothes in such cold weather. I think you're really going to die."

Xiao Heng looked at the woman's nose and ears which were red from the cold and scolded her angrily.

But just as he finished the reprimand, Xiao Heng felt a heavy push on the chest. He was originally sitting on the edge of the couch, and just now he was only concerned about the person in his arms. Gu Youning's force was not light, and he fell to the ground with his butt.

"Your Majesty, hot water..."

"This slave/servant deserves to die!"

Just at this time, Cao Zhong came in with Tan Yin and two other eunuchs in front of the emperor. Seeing the emperor's appearance, Cao Zhong and others hurriedly knelt on the ground and dared not look up.

Tan Yin was frightened out of her wits. Looking at the emperor's expression, she wondered if it was the master who did it.

"you……"

The emperor had never been so embarrassed in front of the palace people before. His face was black. He was about to point at Gu Youning and scold him, but he saw that the person on the couch had already burst into tears.

"you……"

The emperor had never been so speechless before. It was clearly this woman who was so bold and presumptuous as to push him to the ground, but now it seemed as if he was the one bullying her.

"Are you kneeling there like a door god? Come and help me up."

Xiao Heng's face turned pale and blue, and blue and red due to the constant anger. He could only vent his anger on his personal eunuch.

"Yes, it's my fault for not having long eyes."

Cao Zhong crawled and rolled to the emperor, and while helping him up, he complained in his heart: his master's skills are no worse than those of the ordinary imperial guards. He didn't think that his master would get up by himself. He didn't dare to look at his master's indecent appearance. He didn't expect that his master would sit on the ground for so long.

"master?"

Although Tan Yin knew that her master had a plan, she was still frightened by what she saw. She tentatively wrung out a hot handkerchief and handed it to the couch, but Gu Youning on the couch just hugged his knees and cried.

"Everyone, get out!"

The emperor waved away Cao Zhong's hand as he tried to support him, and coldly dismissed everyone in the hall.

"Why are you crying? I don't blame you."

The emperor stared coldly at the woman in front of the couch for half a minute, but the woman just kept crying as if no one was around. The emperor wanted to walk away, but his feet unconsciously walked to the couch and handed the woman a towel that was still warm.

Gu Youning didn't answer, but this time she didn't leave the emperor alone. Instead, she raised her head and her crying stopped a little.

The emperor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, sat down beside the couch, and clumsily wiped the woman's tears with a towel.

But the emperor had never served anyone before. He wiped it lightly and then heavily, which made Gu Youning frown and turn his head away.

"I will do it myself."

Just as the emperor was about to get angry, the towel in his hand was pulled away by Gu Youning.

After wiping the tears from her face, her red eyes became more obvious, and her uncontrollable sobbing made her thin shoulders tremble, which was really pitiful.

This was the first time the emperor felt wronged in front of a woman. He clearly hadn't done anything wrong. Although he had scolded her a few words at first, it was for the woman's own good, and secondly, he remembered that his voice was not harsh.

"Why are you crying all of a sudden? Aren't you afraid that Zheng'er will find out about the joke?"

Forget it, why should he, an emperor, care about a little woman? But he still wanted to know why he was pushed to the ground.

Thinking of what had just happened, the emperor couldn't help but turn his body to the side and sit more solemnly.

"The emperor is bullying."

After crying just now, Gu Youning's voice became even hoarser.

"nonsense!"

The emperor blurted out, but when he saw the woman's red eyes looking at him, the mist in her eyes seemed to increase again. The emperor couldn't help but curse himself inwardly, hoping not to make her cry again.

The emperor then reached out and gently pulled the woman into his arms, his large hands unconsciously holding the woman's cold hands: "I saw that you were not wearing enough clothes just now, and I was worried that you would catch a cold, so I said a few words."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Youning looked up at the emperor in confusion, and asked with sobs, "What did the emperor say to this concubine just now?"

Xiao Heng: ...

"I only remember that the emperor was furious and fierce just now."

"So the Emperor was just reminding me to put on some clothes. This mink fur coat belongs to the Emperor?"

Gu Youning didn't notice the emperor's expression, but he glanced at the sable fur coat he was wearing.

The emperor's expression had never been so wonderful. Did this woman only regain consciousness at this moment?

He opened and closed his lips, still suppressing the frustration in his heart, and asked in a very gentle tone: "This isn't the first time I've been mean to you, and I don't usually see you cry like this."

Perhaps it was the first time he was pushed to the ground by a woman, and the emperor was particularly curious about the truth behind why he was treated like this.

"I think the emperor has no conscience."

Gu Youning looked at the emperor guiltily, then leaned in the emperor's arms very obediently.

She knew very well that everything is excessive, and the crying just now was enough.

"Where do I have no conscience?"

The emperor felt inexplicably wronged today and asked the question almost subconsciously, but when he said it, it always felt a little strange.

"Today in Ci'an Palace, I was afraid that the Empress Dowager would scold the Emperor, but I took the initiative to agree to send Zheng'er to Ci'an Palace."

"I already felt guilty towards Zheng'er, and the Emperor even came here to attack me. Of course, I would think you were heartless."

When Gu Youning said this, tears came to his eyes again, and the emperor's chest was immediately wet.

"It's all my fault. Ning'er is the most sensible. I know you are worried about Zheng'er. I will definitely visit Zheng'er more often in the future."

After being disturbed by Gu Youning's disturbance, Xiao Heng had forgotten that Xiao Yunzheng's going to Ci'an Palace was a must. Instead, when he carefully recalled what happened in Ci'an Palace, he realized that the woman only spoke after his mother attacked him.

Thinking about how the woman must have been distraught the whole day, how could I feel angry?
