Chapter 224 Heartache, pity, filling the heart
When Yanwan speaks, she is always 90% true and 10% false, so she always seems to be genuine and makes people fall deeply in love with her and unable to extricate themselves.
For example, what she said just now, she was really scared, afraid that she would die like this, but in order to plot against Ruyi, she was separated from the Empress for several months.
Being afraid of not being able to see the Empress is real, but being afraid of not being able to see the Emperor is naturally fake.
She didn't believe that the emperor would be very sad if she died. Even if he was sad, he would only be sad that he had lost an obedient lucky pet who could check and balance Ruyi.
But she was sure that Jinzhong would be extremely sad if she died.
Look at him, he is such a good pretender, but every time he encounters something with her, he can't help but have red eyes.
Yan Wan turned her gaze away from Jin Zhong and closed her eyes tiredly: "Your Majesty, please take care of the queen for me."
She opened her eyes again with difficulty: "The two children were born prematurely, and I don't know how they are. Please ask the imperial physician for me. If there is no problem, leave them to Sister Mei to take care of them. She is considerate and has always loved children. She is definitely better than a sickly concubine like me."
Hongli looked at her and said, "Don't you even want to see the two children?"
Yan Wan closed her eyes again: "I have to send her away eventually. Wait until I am fully recovered before you see."
Her voice became softer and softer, so soft that it was almost inaudible: "If I can have a future, I will make it up to my children. If I don't have a future, I hope that they will never remember me... so as not to... feel sad..."
Hongli was stunned.
He suddenly thought of his mother, Li Jingui.
Did his mother also think the same thing back then?
He subconsciously held Yan Wan's hand tightly and wanted to say something, but found that Yan Wan had fallen asleep.
He did not wake up Yan Wan, but tucked the corner of the quilt for her gently. He looked at her deeply for a long time before he went to see the little prince and princess, and then went to the next room.
When he passed Jinzhong, he said, "You don't have to go. Just stay here and guard Concubine Ling. If she needs anything, arrange for someone to get it."
Jinzhong was hesitant and said, "Your Majesty, this... Concubine Xian spread rumors about me and... I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to stay here."
Hongli said coldly: "From today on, the entire harem doesn't need to care about what she says. Just do your job well. If there are any eunuchs or palace maids who are blind, you can deal with them yourself."
Jinzhong burst into tears of gratitude: "Your Majesty! This servant, this servant really is..."
Hongli glanced at him and said, "Get up and do your work well."
He hurried to the next door.
But what she didn't expect was that when she arrived at the door, she saw Shupin standing in front of the Queen's room like a guard, and some strange noises could be faintly heard from the Queen's room.
He frowned slightly: "What are you doing standing here?"
Shupin greeted loudly: "Your Majesty, your majesty! Your Majesty! How is your noble concubine?"
The noise in the room seemed to stop in an instant.
Hongli was about to speak when he suddenly heard a faint cry for help - Help!
Listening to that unique voice, it seems like Ruyi.
Hongli subconsciously stepped forward quickly, then stopped suddenly. The astonishment in his eyes turned into dark malice in the blink of an eye.
Shupin was frightened by his eyes. At that moment, she felt that she had never really known the emperor. She realized with a chill in her bones that perhaps, from beginning to end, she had fallen in love with the perfect young man she had imagined, not the one in front of her...
emperor.
She opened her hands slightly with stiff fingertips and forced a smile: "Your Majesty, I think I heard Wanwan is fine?"
With these gentle words, Hongli's eyes returned to normal. He held Shupin's hand and said, "Noble Concubine Ling is fine now. She is resting now. If you are worried about her, go in and take a look quietly."
Shupin endured the shame and hugged his arm tightly: "Your Majesty, Xianpin should be punished for doing such a thing, otherwise she will become even worse in the future and do whatever she wants without any scruples. What do you think?"
Hongli saw what she wanted to do and was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt it was natural.
His harem today is no longer the harem of two years ago. If he could get rid of Ruyi directly, the entire harem would probably be stable, until the children fight for the throne and the harem is also implicated.
He smiled along with Shupin's words and said lightly: "You are right. Only after being taught a lesson can Xianpin learn a lesson."
But, that's it.
She is a monster, how could a monster allow herself to have some free time?
She was determined to stir up trouble in the harem, causing endless chaos.
He glanced at the Queen's room, and following Shupin's instructions, chatted with her for a long time, as if he really didn't notice the situation inside at all.
Until he began to feel uncomfortable in his heart and even began to feel sorry for Ruyi.
He even wanted to push Shupin away and yell at her.
Hongli suppressed his uncontrollable impulse and slowly patted Shupin's hand: "Okay, accompany me to visit the queen first. Wanwan is very worried about the queen and specifically asked me to look after her for her."
With this reason, Shupin had no excuse to delay any further and could only nervously follow Hongli to the door.
As the two of them walked up the steps, the door opened.
Jing Jing's headdress was a little askew, and her face was covered with blushes: "Father Emperor."
Concubine Mei walked out from behind her quickly, pursed her lips and walked towards Hongli: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian rushed in and insisted on interrupting Doctor Zhang from giving the Empress acupuncture. I was anxious and hit her twice. If Concubine Xian complains to you, you won't be angry, right?"
Hongli's body wanted to be angry, but his cognition rejected it. He looked at Concubine Mei calmly and said, "You are too arrogant and willful."
This sentence, coupled with his expression, seemed to be punishing Concubine Mei.
Concubine Mei curled her lips and said, "If the emperor is really angry, just punish me."
Ruyi struggled to crawl out of the house: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! They want to kill me!"
Rong Pei, with blood all over her head, crawled to Ruyi's side and carefully helped her up: "Mei Fei! Princess! You actually beat up a concubine, it's really..."
Ruyi interrupted Rong Pei's scolding: "Your Majesty! Hurry up and find a doctor for me! I have a stomachache. Something is going to happen to your child!"
With tears streaming down her face, she ran to Hongli, pushing aside Concubine Mei and Concubine Shu, and grabbed his big hand in grievance and fear: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent... I have failed your trust! My child..."
The moment she grabbed him, Hongli's head started buzzing and he subconsciously held her. Distress and pity filled his heart involuntarily.
