The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

Shen Leyan was standing in one place when suddenly a palace maid passed by and accidentally spilled tea on her dress.

The palace maid quickly knelt down and admitted her mistake.

At this time, the Imperial Concubine's personal maid, Xia He, came over and said, "This servant greets Miss Shen."

"I am a maid in the Imperial Concubine's palace. Our Empress saw that Miss Shen's clothes were wet, so she specially invited her to the Yikun Palace to change into a new set of clothes."

Shen Leyan looked at the wet hem of her skirt and had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Even if she didn't want to go, she had no other way to refuse. After all, she couldn't ignore the kindness of the imperial concubine.

After thanking the imperial concubine, he followed the palace maid to Yiku Palace.

Shen Leyan always felt a little uneasy along the way. How could such a bad thing happen to her?

She was worried that something was fishy, ​​but she couldn't get away at the moment.

After arriving at the Yiku Palace, the palace maid said she was going to get some clean clothes and asked Shen Leyan to wait in the side hall for a while, and then left.

As soon as Shen Leyan entered the side hall, she smelled the smell of incense. She felt something was wrong and immediately retreated.

Zhiyue at the door noticed that something was wrong with the young lady and hurriedly tried to help Shen Leyan leave.

Fearing that there was someone guarding the gate of Yiku Palace, the two could only carefully go around to the back door to leave.

The two people, who were already unfamiliar with the palace, were now even more confused and lost.

Shen Leyan had just accidentally inhaled a large breath of the strong incense, and a lot of medicinal properties had accumulated in her body.

She could only rely on her willpower to find an empty palace and hide in it in a hurry.

It seems that there is no one here, but in fact it is the emperor's Purple Palace. No one dares to enter without permission on ordinary days, so only secret guards are left behind. In addition, no one dares to stop him because of the special order of Eunuch Baoshun.

Zhiyue stayed at the door to guard it. Shen Leyan walked into the hall randomly and suddenly saw a large pool.

Shen Leyan was so happy that she rushed directly into the pool. At this moment, her whole body was hot and unbearable, and she wanted to rely on the cold water to temporarily relieve the pressure.

Emperor Yong'an rushed over upon hearing the noise, only to see a woman soaking in the pool, who had obviously not fallen into the water accidentally.

And this person was the woman he had just met in the Imperial Garden. He looked at Baoshun in confusion.

Baoshun was also confused about the situation. Why did the young lady of the Shen family jump into the water?

He immediately knelt down and explained, "I just heard that Miss Shen seemed to be feeling unwell and wanted to come in to rest when she passed by here, so I didn't stop her."

But looking at the situation before him, it was more than just a physical discomfort; it was clearly a trap...

Baoshun didn't dare to say anything else before he saw Emperor Yong'an stepping into the pool.

Baoshun stared blankly at Emperor Yong'an in the water, thinking: The emperor won't blame him, right?

Shen Leyan was in a daze and saw someone getting closer and closer to him...

The woman in front of him, who was soaked all over, looked completely different from the one who was swinging on the swing before. Her eyes were blurry and her face was as pale as a peach.

"Help me...help me..."

Shen Leyan had completely lost her mind at this time, and her arms simply wrapped around him.

Emperor Yong'an originally wanted to take her ashore, but as soon as he got close, her hot body pressed against him.

Hot air sprayed on his chest, his heart began to beat wildly, and the atmosphere became tense and heated...

Baoshun was very perceptive and arranged for everyone to retreat.

Shen Leyan in the water was carried into the hall by the waist. She was unconsciously tearing off the clothes stuck to her body, and her private parts were suddenly exposed.

As she moved, Emperor Yong'an's gaze gradually deepened.

Clothes are scattered, peach blossoms and willows are green outside the house, and the house is also full of spring.

Shen Leyan finally fainted due to exhaustion.

Emperor Yongle quickly got dressed and stood up, asking Baoshun outside the hall to call the imperial physician.

"I'm going to get a set of clean women's clothes."

"Yes."

The imperial aunt Cuihu brought the palace maids into the hall carrying clothes.

She also carefully prepared a crescent-shaped brocade gauze dress that was similar in color to Shen Leyan's previous clothes, and even prepared shoes and socks.

Emperor Yong'an waved his hand, stood up and walked out.

Everyone came forward to help the woman on the bed wash and dress.

Although they moved gently, Shen Leyan was still woken up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was stunned by the palace maids who helped her dress and do her makeup.

She sat there like a puppet the whole time, and only came to her senses after everyone had finished and left.

Emperor Yong'an, who was sitting outside reading a book, coughed lightly. Shen Leyan stood up and walked outside, and saw that the emperor who had left the banquet was also sitting here.

She knelt down quickly and saluted, memories coming back to her in bits and pieces, and she was so scared that her heart skipped a beat.

She...she seemed to have done something big in a daze...

Emperor Yong'an had already said that there was no need for formalities, but seeing Shen Leyan still kneeling there, he wondered what she was thinking.

He raised his eyebrows and pretended to be serious, "Do you know you are guilty and plan to kneel here forever?"

Shen Leyan finally managed to calm down and said, "I am guilty, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Looking at the woman kneeling in fear in front of him, Emperor Yong'an thought: The little girl really can't stand being scared.

In a slightly gentler voice, he asked, "Whose family are you from?"

"I am Shen Leyan, daughter of Prime Minister Shen Hongan."

"Well, the daughter of the Prime Minister..."

Emperor Yong'an's eyes turned slightly: "You get up first."

Shen Leyan stood up after hearing this, but she didn't dare to look up and kept her head down.

"Keep your head up."

She moved her throat, and half raised her head as she was told, staring at Emperor Yong'an.

It was the first time that Shen Leyan saw the emperor at such a close distance, and she realized that the emperor of the Great Zhao Kingdom was also a very handsome man.

Although he is over 30 years old, he doesn't look old at all. He has a straight figure and a calm and noble temperament.

Although the emperor was handsome, Shen Leyan had no time to appreciate him at the moment. After a brief moment of stunned silence, she quickly lowered her eyes to look at him.

Emperor Yong'an's eyes flickered the moment the woman looked up. Although she was clearly dressed neatly, the image in his mind was of her just now, disheveled, in his arms...

The atmosphere became awkward again. The emperor coughed lightly and asked, "Do you remember what you did before?"

Shen Leyan's face suddenly flushed red, and she stammered, "Your Majesty, I don't know. I just remember wandering in here... Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Huh? Did you just barge in here?"

"It seems that I have... offended His Majesty." After saying this, Shen Leyan felt that her face was almost ripe.

Her breathing seemed to become difficult...

But Emperor Yong'an found Shen Leyan, whose face was as red as a monkey's butt, extremely amusing.

Even though I didn't do anything, it felt like I was bullying her...

Emperor Yongle thought: Forget it, if I continue asking, I hope I won’t really scare this little girl to tears.

Sure enough, his idea was soon confirmed.

Shen Leyan felt ashamed and guilty when she thought about what had just happened, and wondered if she would be blamed by the emperor in front of her.

I don't know how to face my father and mother...

It is still unknown whether they will be implicated. I just hate myself for being so stupid. I knew something was fishy, ​​but I fell into the trap and had no way to clarify it.

Even if she told the emperor the truth that she was drugged in the Yiku Palace, the emperor might not believe that the imperial concubine would harm her.

Besides, there is no evidence yet. If the matter gets out of hand, it will not only make us lose face, but also ruin the reputation of the entire prime minister's residence.

The more Shen Leyan thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Her heart was as tangled as a ball of yarn that had been scratched by a cat. Her nose felt sore and tears began to flow uncontrollably.

Emperor Yong'an looked at the woman crying in front of him and stroked his brow helplessly.
