Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Concubine Li watched and listened in a daze. The emperor spoke in such a tone, so considerately, and his eyes were fixed on that one person... but never on her, not even a glance at her. Her eyes gradually turned red. Looking at the scene between the two of them, Concubine Li was reminded of the person in the emperor's arms that night.

Emperor Shenwu directly carried Lan Qingwu to Chengfeng. Lan Qingwu whispered, "Your Majesty, go back and change your clothes. It will be very uncomfortable if you get wet."

Emperor Shenwu also mounted his horse: "What are you afraid of? I am a man."

Then he gave the order: "Return to camp!"

Gao Lanyan stood up and muttered to herself: "The third time, the third time..."

Jiang Qi's eyes turned slightly, realizing something, and pulled Gao Lanyan: "Let's go too."

The person who followed Lan Qingwu disappeared in a moment.

Only Wei Yanting, who was standing by the stream and realized the situation late, could not help but feel a little embarrassed for Concubine Li. The emperor's discriminatory treatment was particularly obvious. He did not even look at Concubine Li's expression. After the embarrassment was over, he remembered his duties.

Wei Yanting turned to the captain of the guards, whose expression was equally grim, and said, "I have already instructed my subordinates to place the stones they found into the stream. I believe the problem will be solved later. I have responsibilities to attend to, so I will go ahead."

The chief guard: "..." What could he say? It was his duty to protect Concubine Li.

By the time Lady Li stepped onto the stone road, the soles of her shoes were soaked and the hem of her skirt was also slightly wet, but it was not noticeable unless you looked closely. She could only endure it desperately.

After Concubine Li returned to her imperial camp, she sat on a chair, staring blankly. Then her eyes became colder and her face became gloomier. Suddenly, she stretched out her hand and knocked over the tea set on the dining table, which broke with a bang.

Emperor Shenwu brought Lan Qingwu back to the Imperial Camp. As they neared the gate, Leng Qujing reported, "Your Majesty, several assassins with triangular tattoos have been spotted outside."

Emperor Shenwu turned his head slightly, and his eyes instantly became cold.

Lan Qingwu realized something: "Your Majesty, I will return to my tent first."

Emperor Shenwu thought for a moment and said, "No need." The safest place at this moment is right next to him.

Emperor Shenwu directly embraced Lan Qingwu into the inner tent, and Lan Qingwu had no choice but to follow him in.

Emperor Shenwu was helped to change his clothes and sat at the head of the central tent. Lan Qingwu knelt at the emperor's feet. Emperor Shenwu said coldly, "Please invite Prince Ding and the others into the tent."

A young eunuch had already come out with the order, and Li Xiang and Xiao Fuzi hurriedly hung a gauze curtain in front of the emperor.

When Prince Ding Qian Hui and other ministers entered the inner tent, the gauze curtain just happened to cover the figures of the emperor and his concubine.

Prince Ding and others were summoned to the central tent by the emperor again.

After everyone entered the tent and paid their respects, Emperor Shenwu gestured to Leng Qujing, "Speak."

Leng Qujing stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, we've discovered six assassins in total, all of whom were discovered before they came within ten miles of the camp. Five of them have already committed suicide by biting through the poison sac. The remaining assassin was not tortured, but said he could lead me to the Deer King's lair."

Emperor Shenwu's expression was unfathomable. "This is a trick to lure the snake out of its hole. Pass the order down. The entire camp is under martial law. No one is allowed to move around. Qian Hui, Wei Yanting, search the entire camp. The six vassal states are here. We must not take it lightly! As for that assassin, kill him! I don't want to play these games with him. I'll just kill as many of these cunning rats as I can!"

Qian Hui and others followed the order and left, while the remaining Prince Ding and his men reported some trivial matters to the emperor from time to time.

The emperor's mind was no longer in the tent. He had turned sideways, gently grasped Lan Qingwu's chin with his fingers, and looked at her cheek casually. Lan Qingwu lowered her eyes slightly. After a while, the emperor held a strand of her hair in his palm and played with it.

When Lan Qingwu felt her knees slightly sore, Emperor Shenwu had already reached out and gently embraced her, and Lan Qingwu immediately fell on his knees. She listened to the ministers in the tent reporting things from time to time, and then she fell on the emperor's knees without moving.

Prince Ding heard the emperor's perfunctory tone and looked up slightly, only to see that the two blurry figures behind the gauze curtain had merged into one.

The voices of Prince Tuoyan and Prince Lieyang could be heard from outside the camp. Emperor Shenwu said directly, "Prince Ding, go out and explain to them."

King Ding should be so.

Lan Qingwu vaguely heard Prince Ding's voice coming from outside the tent, mixed with Princess Shuixia's gentle voice.

Not long after, Xiao Fuzi came into the tent again to report: "Your Majesty, several ladies are at the entrance of Concubine Jiang's tent and want to pay their respects to Your Majesty."

Emperor Shenwu was playing with his black hair and said casually, "Let them return to their camps and stay there in peace."

Outside the camp, King Ding persuaded the people of the six countries to return, telling them that he was handling domestic affairs and that martial law was only temporary, and asked them to return to the camp and wait in peace.

After the people from the six small nations had dispersed, Concubine Jiang and the others looked at the imperial camp from the entrance of their tents. Concubine Jiang then looked at the concubines behind her and said, "You all should disperse and stay in your own tents."

Concubine Chen smiled and said, "Of course I will listen to your Majesty and sister, but I feel that Concubine Yi is missing."

Concubine Liang continued, "Perhaps because Concubine Yi was accompanying the emperor, His Majesty kept her here."

Concubine Chen looked at the entrance of the imperial camp and said in sudden realization, "Oh, it seems so. Isn't that Concubine Yi's maid still at the entrance of the imperial camp?"

Concubine Li's tone was unclear: "Noble Lady Yi is truly favored by Your Majesty." The bitterness in her tone was faintly revealed.

Concubine Liang was blunt and said, "Whoever your Majesty bestows upon you must accept your grace. Isn't that right?"

Han Meiren, who was at the back, bowed and said, "Sister Liangpin is right. This is the grace of His Majesty. I can give it to whoever I want."

Even the timid people just now nodded repeatedly.

Lady Li's face darkened again.

Liangpin said directly: "It's no wonder. My two sisters and I are both veterans of the palace in Qiling Mountain. This newcomer..."

Concubine Liang glanced at Concubine Li lightly. Concubine Li felt ashamed and angry at her gaze, but she couldn't say anything.

Liang Pin continued, "That's just..." Her contempt was obvious.

Concubine Jiang shook her head helplessly: "You have such a big mouth! Well, if you have nothing to do, go back to your tents and rest, and wait for His Majesty's order."

The camps were only under martial law for half a day and a night, with normal order restored the next morning, with guards being relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside. That night, Qian Hui, Wei Yanting, Leng Qujing, and the others thoroughly searched the area around the camps, ensuring they were completely safe.

Concubine Jiang hosted a banquet for several concubines and the families of important officials that day.

At the banquet, Mrs. Qian's little daughter ran up to Lan Qingwu and refused to leave, as if she still remembered Lan Qingwu. Lan Qingwu casually made a butterfly out of grass and coaxed her.

Madam Qian came over and greeted the two concubines first: "Greetings to the two ladies, ladies and gentlemen."

Then he walked up to Lan Qingwu and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, sir."

Lan Qingwu smiled: "It's okay, I'll be very good."

Concubine Chen looked at Rourou from the upper seat and smiled: "It seems that Concubine Yi and Madam Qian are also very familiar with each other."

Jiang Qi's wife stayed with Concubine Yi all day long.

Concubine Jiang only frowned slightly. Concubine Liang continued, "It's because children like beautiful people."
