Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

This gust of wind naturally blew to the door of Qianzheng Hall. Qiulan listened to the two young eunuchs talking to each other at the door and was slightly stunned. After a moment, she walked into the bedroom in the main hall.

Seeing Lan Qingwu still waiting for the emperor, Qiulan felt even more sorry for him. After hesitating for a moment, she knelt on the ground, just looking at Lan Qingwu but not knowing how to start.

Lan Qingwu's heart sank when he saw Qiulan's slightly evasive look: "Qiulan, what's wrong with you? If you have anything to say, please get up and talk."

Qiulan calmed herself down and said, "Your Majesty, the eunuch at the door said that His Majesty has summoned Concubine Lin and a new bride presented by the officials today to the Shaoyan Terrace. Your Majesty, you..."

Lan Qingwu paused as he stroked the coral bracelet. So, was the emperor's delay in arriving at Qianzheng Palace because he had summoned someone else to his bed? Then why was he waiting here? Lin Cairen? A new bride? Yes, he was the emperor, so why would he consult with anyone else about summoning someone to his bed? Shouldn't he have gotten used to it by now?

Qiulan was shocked when she saw Lan Qingwu crying, and she felt a little regretful: "My queen, please don't cry, don't scare me!"

"That newcomer must be as stunningly beautiful as Lin Cairen." Lan Qingwu said softly.

"That's why he was so impatient." That's why after the banquet, he ignored their appointment and forgot that I was waiting for him.

Looking at the bright red bed curtains, a trace of heartache welled up in her heart. Her coral bracelet was also soaked with tears. Lan Qingwu subconsciously wiped it with her sleeve, "Two more concubines?"

What had gone wrong? Why had she fallen in love with an emperor? Why had she returned to him after so many twists and turns? Why had she endured this heartache again and again?

Qiulan knelt before Lan Qingwu and stretched out her sleeve to wipe away her tears, but she was afraid of hurting her face. She was very anxious: "My queen, please don't be like this. Maybe... maybe they are just talking nonsense. It makes me feel uncomfortable when you cry like this!"

Nonsense? If this hadn't happened, who could have spread the story? Lan Qingwu slowly plucked the peach blossom butterfly hairpin from her hair and placed it beside the jade pillow. Her fingers touched the coral bracelet again, trembling slightly, but she didn't take it off. Lan Qingwu's voice seemed to float in the air: "Qiulan, I want to go back. I don't want to stay here."

Qiulan was embarrassed and heartbroken: "No, my lady, there is no way for His Majesty to clear it now. You will be seen. No, you will get into trouble."

Lan Qingwu suddenly realized that she had unknowingly become the emperor's canary. He remained silent and did not allow her to resist, allowing her to slowly blend into his side until she could no longer live without him.

"Qiulan, please go out first. I want to be alone."

Qiulan hesitated and slowly backed out. She didn't dare to go too far away and just lingered at the dormitory door.

Lan Qingwu lowered her head and looked at the coral bracelet on her wrist, tears falling from her eyes: "He won't come back."

Emperor Shenwu had already climbed back onto the dragon chariot. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He had never felt so angry and aggrieved before. Looking at the palace maids and eunuchs shuttling back and forth, his heart sank again. He was afraid that the news had already spread throughout the harem. With a "bang", he couldn't help but slap the armrest of the dragon chariot.

Li Xiang also realized this, and was frightened by the emperor's actions. His legs went weak again, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, why don't you gather them all together and stop them from talking nonsense? Anyone who dares to talk nonsense will be severely punished."

Emperor Shenwu was furious: "Am I a tyrant?" With so many people, how could he silence them? And what was his reason for doing so?

Li Xiang's face turned bitter again: "Then let's keep it a secret from the Queen for now and talk about it after today!"

The Emperor said coldly, "And let her find out tomorrow from someone else?" That would only make it harder for Ruo Ruo to let go, and even more heartbroken. He should have been accompanying the Empress and his wife today. Thinking of Ruo Ruo's stubborn nature, the Emperor's forehead throbbed. Let's go to Qianzheng Hall first.

Li Xiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and dared not make any more rash suggestions.

The Emperor Shenwu's anger had completely dissipated by the time he entered Qianzheng Hall. He walked to the bedroom door and saw Qiulan wandering around with a sad face. His heart sank again, "Get out!"

Qiulan was startled by the emperor's voice. She didn't expect the emperor to come back so soon. She didn't react for a moment. After a moment of hesitation, she saw the emperor's cold eyes. She was startled and ran out without even saying hello.

Li Xiang pulled Xiao Fuzi's ears and, ignoring his constant cries of pain, knelt down with a sorrowful face at the entrance of the main hall of Qianzheng Palace. He only hoped that His Majesty could coax the Empress and not let them suffer too much.

The more Li Xiang thought about it, the more frustrated he became. There should have been nothing wrong, but this stupid apprentice had… The more he thought about it, the more he felt frustrated. He reached out and slapped Xiao Fuzi on the head repeatedly, "I'll let you be stupid! I'll let you be stupid! You've already implicated your master!"

Xiao Fuzi was also confused. In his opinion, it was just that His Majesty favored two concubines. The emperor was so angry and his master was so furious too. This really shouldn't be the case.

Li Xiang looked at Xiao Fuzi's dumbfounded expression, and angrily said, "Remember this: no matter before or after, on important occasions, His Majesty will only sleep alone. Important days are reserved for the future Empress. Not just any random person can serve His Majesty on these days. Remember this!"

When Emperor Shenwu entered the bedroom, he saw Lan Qingwu crying silently in a daze, and his heart ached suddenly.

Lan Qingwu sat motionlessly beside the bed, watching the Shenwu Emperor come in. He suddenly realized that it was dawn when he came back.

Emperor Shenwu walked forward and squatted in front of Lan Qingwu, reaching out to wipe the tears from her face: "Ruoruo, don't cry, I tell you, I didn't really touch her. I later came to my senses and pushed her away."

Emperor Shenwu hugged Lan Qingwu in his arms and said, "Don't cry anymore, my heart aches."

Lan Qingwu lay quietly in the arms of the Shenwu Emperor: "Wei Ruo wants to go back. Your Majesty, please let us go back."

Emperor Shenwu became increasingly sober. He looked at the shattered light in Lan Qingwu's eyes and belatedly realized, "You don't believe me?"

Lan Qingwu slowly retreated from the arms of the Divine Martial Emperor: "Wei Ruo Ruo, please don't stay here anymore. We want to go back."

Emperor Shenwu finally said with certainty: "You don't believe me!"

Emperor Shenwu suddenly realized that there was indeed nothing about him that was worthy of Lan Qingwu's trust. When Emperor Shenwu learned that Lan Qingwu had a verbal engagement, he acted absurdly for a while and summoned the Su sisters to sleep with him at the same time. This was very similar to what happened today, and today's events were so coincidental. Now, there is probably no one in the six palaces who does not think so.

Especially since he, as an emperor, already had three palaces and six courtyards, and those two women were also his concubines. Emperor Shenwu felt helpless and had no way to explain himself.

Emperor Shenwu felt a bitter taste in his mouth: "How can you trust me?"

Lan Qingwu looked at the dark dragon robe that Emperor Shenwu was wearing, tears welling up in his eyes again. Emperor Shenwu also looked at his own clothes, "This is what I changed into at Shaoyantai..."

Emperor Shenwu felt that he would not believe himself in this situation! He hugged Lan Qingwu helplessly: "Wei Ruo Ruo, I will not lie to you, believe me, okay?"
