Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Chapter 79: Lady Li's Jealousy

The second prince was frightened. Emperor Shenwu and Concubine Jiang were standing by, waiting for him to drink the calming soup.

Li Xiang quietly returned to Concubine Jiang's tent. He bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jiang."

After that, he stood up and glanced at the Emperor Shenwu, indicating that everything had been arranged. Then he retreated to stand behind the Emperor Shenwu.

Concubine Jiang watched calmly, feeling a little sad in her heart.

Afterwards, the second prince drank a tranquilizing soup and went to sleep. Doctor Wang stayed by the bed, observing the second prince's condition at any time.

Lan Qingwu was also looking at a bowl of soothing soup in her tent. She said calmly, "Put it aside for now. I'll drink it later."

She had changed into her pajamas and was lying on the bed, hugging her knees with her chin resting on them. Her black hair, like dark clouds, fell down, covering her exposed snow-white insteps.

Ru Ping placed the medicine bowl on the small couch and said casually, "Master, His Majesty specially asked Imperial Physician Nie to take your pulse and prescribe a tranquilizing decoction. It won't be good if it gets cold."

Lan Qingwu said softly: "Your Majesty must be guarding the Second Prince with Concubine Jiang now. After all... the Second Prince is now the most honorable prince." He is the son of the favorite concubine again.

Ru Ping was silent. She couldn't respond. She could only silently accompany her master.

It was already midnight. Seeing the Second Prince sleeping peacefully, Doctor Wang came to report to the Emperor Shenwu: "Your Majesty, the Second Prince is now well and will not wake up tonight."

Emperor Shenwu looked outside and said, "That's great! Doctor Wang will stay with the second prince tonight." After saying that, he stood up.

Concubine Jiang looked at Emperor Shenwu in surprise and said, "Your Majesty, it's late tonight. Please rest here with me. I have asked someone to prepare..."

Emperor Shenwu waved his hand and said, "You should go to bed early." Then he strode out.

Concubine Jiang quickly knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, take care!"

When the emperor disappeared, Concubine Jiang was slowly helped up by Cai Lian. "Cai Lian, go see if His Majesty has returned to the Imperial Camp?"

Lan Qingwu was the only one left in her tent bedroom. She was still sitting quietly on the bed, looking at the ground and touching the bed from time to time, fearing that another snake would suddenly come out.

At this time, Lan Qingwu couldn't help but think of what Emperor Shenwu had said. He would have more and more concerns and would not be able to take care of himself. Lan Qingwu seemed to understand the emperor's meaning. For example, now, as an emperor, he would definitely take care of the second prince first, and he could only fall behind.

Lan Qingwu held her knees with both hands: "You are so useless. Look at how others are so capable wherever they go, but you don't even have a good body..." As a time-traveling girl, she is probably the most useless.

When Emperor Shenwu entered the bedroom, he saw Lan Qingwu still sitting on the bed, not at all sleepy.

Lan Qingwu quickly bowed. The Emperor Shenwu sat down beside the bed and held her in his arms. "Are you really scared? You don't dare to sleep, are you?"

Lan Qingwu whispered, "No, I'll fall asleep in a little while."

"Really? How did you fall asleep without even finishing the tranquilizing soup?"

Lan Qingwu hurriedly changed the subject: "Your Majesty, is the Second Prince okay?"

"He's very tough and has been asleep for a long time, but he's weak. Is he afraid that another snake will come out from somewhere?"

Lan Qingwu shuddered unconsciously and hugged the Emperor Shenwu's waist even tighter: "Your Majesty, this is more effective than the tranquilizing soup."

Emperor Shenwu also hugged her tightly, turned around and told Ruping: "Go get the cloak."

Emperor Shenwu wrapped Lan Qingwu tightly with his cloak, picked her up horizontally, and carried her all the way back to the imperial camp.

Another person who couldn't sleep late at night was Concubine Li. She walked quietly on the road with her personal maid. What difference did it make whether she went to bed early or late? Being ignored by the emperor for a long time had slowly lost the luster in her eyes.

Just as she thought of the emperor, Concubine Li saw Emperor Shenwu coming towards her. The emperor was hugging someone in his arms, and that person was hugging the emperor's neck intimately.

Jealousy, envy, or hatred? It seemed as if it was about to burst out from Concubine Li's chest. A resolute look flashed in her eyes as she stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am so late..."

Emperor Shenwu did not even pause and ignored Concubine Li. He strode past Concubine Li with the person he cherished in his arms without even glancing at her.

Concubine Li opened her mouth and looked back blankly at the emperor's gradually receding figure. Only Li Xiang hurriedly saluted Concubine Li from behind, and then hurriedly chased after the emperor, leaving herself kneeling there like a clown for a long time.

Cai Lian had returned to the tent to report to Concubine Jiang: "Your Majesty went to Concubine Yi's tent and carried Concubine Yi to the imperial camp." After saying this, she didn't even dare to raise her head.

Concubine Jiang was silent for a moment before speaking softly, "Your Majesty gave your concern to Jin'er, but gave... to Concubine Yi."

Lan Qingwu was held in the emperor's arms all night long, and he was no longer afraid and fell asleep peacefully.

Lan Qingwu made another appointment with Gao Lanyan to go out and play, and General Wei Yanting was still accompanying them for protection.

The two played for a long time before Lan Qingwu was drawn to a patch of blossoming trees. Purple flowers were blooming on the treetops. She gestured with her bare hands, then stepped onto a stone and said without turning back, "Lanlan, hold on to me so I can reach the flowers."

There was no sound behind her, and no one supported her. Just as Lan Qingwu was about to turn around, the Emperor Shenwu had already quietly come behind her, holding her slender waist. With a long arm, he stretched out and plucked the flower. Then the Emperor Shenwu carried her down from the rock and asked, "Is this the flower?"

As he asked, he gently inserted the flower into Lan Qingwu's hair. Lan Qingwu smiled slightly and said, "Why is your majesty here?"

A soft light flashed in Emperor Shenwu's eyes: "I'll take you somewhere." After that, he took her hand and left.

Gao Lanyan stood up from the ground with a look of despair, "This is the second time, the second time, you're still glaring at me and not letting me make a sound..." He endured it, because he was the emperor.

Jiang Qi stepped forward at this moment: "Noble Lady Yi is truly favored, I have never seen her before..."

Gao Lanyan thought of something and frowned slightly: "I've never heard of His Majesty favoring anyone in the Imperial City."

Jiang Qi shook his head. "How naive! Here, there are fewer concubines and fewer rules. Even if His Majesty shows some favoritism, it won't cause any trouble. But if she continues like this in the palace, with three harems and six courtyards, Concubine Yi will become the target of public criticism. Only in Qiling Mountain..."

Gao Lanyan vaguely understood Qingqing's elusive sadness. Such imperial favor... after all, the emperor still has many concerns.

Emperor Shenwu took Lan Qingwu riding on Chengfeng, passing through dense forests and trees, running very far, as if they were going to reach the end of the world.

"This is Sunset River. Legend has it that this place is closest to the sunset. When the sun is about to set, people can touch the outline of the sunset." Emperor Shenwu explained.

The two had reached the river bank, and Lan Qingwu looked at the huge red sun that was about to set in shock.

Emperor Shenwu carried Lan Qingwu off the horse, and Chengfeng had already run to the side.

The huge red sun slowly descended, its outline stained with a layer of golden light. Lan Qingwu reached out his hand to touch the outline of the setting sun: "It seems like I can really touch it."

Lan Qingwu slowly moved her hands, and Emperor Shenwu hugged her from behind, stretched out his hand and placed it on top of that bare hand. The two people's hands overlapped and moved slowly along the golden outline.

The two people's tiny figures were silhouetted against the huge red sun, as if it was going to swallow them up.

In the sunset river, the reflection of the setting sun is reflected in it and is slowly disappearing. The only thing that does not disappear is the figures of two people accompanying each other on the river bank.
