Chapter 551 Black Dragon Silver Phoenix Fish
Chapter 551 Black Dragon Silver Phoenix Fish
Ruhan's bright smile remained unchanged. "Eunuch Li, look, we are all His Majesty and the Empress's people, right? Everything we do is for our masters. How could we have any lasting hatred? In fact, what I admire most is Eunuch Li's character!"
"stop!"
Li Xiang stretched out his hand: "Miss Ruhan..."
Before Li Xiang could finish, the angry voice of Emperor Shenwu suddenly came from the bedroom: "Li Xiang!"
Li Xiang's face changed and he no longer cared about Ru Ping and Ru Han. He pushed the two young eunuchs aside and rushed into the back hall. His legs were so fast that ordinary people could not catch up with him.
Ruping and Ruhan looked at each other and wanted to follow to take a look, but were stopped in a side hall by the palace servants from Qianzheng Hall.
Emperor Shenwu was worried about Lan Qingwu in the dormitory, so he went straight to the dormitory. However, after he opened the curtain at the door, he saw Lan Qingwu sitting on the edge of the bed with a cold expression. Her face was covered with tears, which made the coldness seem helpless and weak.
Two palace maids were kneeling on the ground, apologizing for their crimes, and the ground was covered with broken white porcelain pieces.
"Go away!" The two palace maids retreated in a hurry as if they had been pardoned.
When Emperor Shenwu saw Lan Qingwu's tears, his heart clenched. He walked up to Lan Qingwu and frowned slightly: "Ruo Ruo, what's wrong?"
Lan Qingwu raised her watery eyes and slowly held up the purple dress in her hand. Her voice was a little hoarse as she said word by word, "What is this?"
Emperor Shenwu still hadn't recognized what it was and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Lan Qingwu was so angry that he threw the small piece of clothing in his hand into the arms of Emperor Shenwu. After Emperor Shenwu took it, his heart began to beat slightly as soon as he opened it. This thing was not Lan Qingwu's!
With this understanding, Emperor Shenwu hurriedly threw the small clothes in his hand to the ground. He hesitated and said, "This thing..."
Where did this little piece of clothing come from?
Lan Qingwu stared into the eyes of the Emperor Shenwu and said word by word, "It is on your majesty's dragon bed! Now your majesty is going to ask me where it came from? Who does it belong to?"
Lan Qingwu's watery eyes shed two lines of tears: "Or should I say that His Majesty favored someone on this dragon bed? That's why he let this little girl stay here? And..."
Lan Qingwu was choking with sobs. She felt that the air here was extremely suffocating. The air was filled with the scent of lovemaking between Emperor Shenwu and another woman. She could not stay here any longer!
Lan Qingwu stood up and was about to go out!
"And they sent it to me specially so I could see it..."
How could the Emperor Shenwu let Lan Qingwu leave at this moment? His mind was in a state of confusion, and he did not forget to stretch out his long arms to embrace him in his arms: "Ruoruo, wait, I don't know what's going on..."
Lan Qingwu didn't want to listen and tried to pry the arm of Emperor Shenwu. Unfortunately, her meager strength couldn't even move a finger of Emperor Shenwu. Lan Qingwu was so angry that her whole body was shaking and tears fell one after another like pearls.
In a panic, Emperor Shenwu grasped Lan Qingwu's cheek with his other hand, forcing her to look at him. "Wei Ruo! Have you forgotten? I was in Fengqi Palace all night last night, and I watched over Xiao Qi with you for half the night. Afterwards, we went back to the bedroom to sleep!"
Lan Qingwu finally came to his senses for a moment.
Emperor Shenwu continued, "Besides, my bedroom is cleaned by palace servants every day. How could you have found this thing today, just after I coaxed you here?"
Lan Qingwu naturally thought of this at this time. Her tears were less, but her eyelashes were still filled with tears. "Even if that's the case, maybe it's from the last time you summoned Concubine Deng!"
"I only let her stay in the side hall. How could I let her set foot in the main hall bedroom? That day, I slept alone in the main hall bedroom and didn't even go to the side hall to see her."
Lan Qingwu looked at the dazzling purple on the ground and said, "Then your Majesty, where did this little girl's dress come from?"
Lan Qingwu looked at Emperor Shenwu with burning eyes. Emperor Shenwu was speechless for a moment. He had guessed in his mind that he had seen countless methods used by these women to compete for his favor. Naturally, he knew that most of this was the seduction that Concubine Deng "directed and acted" last night!
In the past, the Emperor Shenwu really didn't think this was a big deal. He was naturally in this supreme position, and there were too many women who flattered him and tried to win his favor, each using their own tricks. Even in the more than ten years since Lan Qingwu was his only favorite, the Emperor Shenwu had encountered similar things many times. Of course, he simply kept it a secret from Lan Qingwu and dealt with them! The Emperor Shenwu felt that there was no need to talk to Lan Qingwu about everything, as it would only increase their unhappiness.
But this Concubine Deng was indeed novel and daring. If Lan Qingwu had not witnessed her seductive methods with his own eyes, Emperor Shenwu might have thought that there were very few women who were so bold and novel.
Unfortunately, at this time, Emperor Shenwu was only filled with anger, and he only thought that Concubine Deng was shameless and should be cut into pieces!
Emperor Shenwu organized his words and said, "I was not here last night either. Let me summon Li Xiang to ask him!"
"Li Xiang!"
Li Xiang rolled and crawled to his knees at the door of the bedroom. Layers of curtains covered the figures of the emperor and the empress.
Li Xiang calmed his breath and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen!"
"Come in!"
Li Xiang didn't dare to look up. He entered the dormitory nervously, still wondering what had happened between the two masters! If they didn't reconcile, his old bones would fall apart!
Li Xiang only heard the Emperor Shenwu's furious question: "Li Xiang, what's going on?"
Li Xiang's eyes swept over the small clothes on the ground, and then he looked up at his master with some doubt. When he saw the gloomy face of Emperor Shenwu, which looked like a storm was coming, his brain started to work frantically.
"I asked you to guard the Qianzheng Palace, and this is how you do it! Anything can get on my dragon bed! Li Xiang, you don't want to be the chief eunuch anymore!"
Li Xiang grabbed the purple dress, kowtowed twice, and immediately backed away: "Your Majesty, calm down! I will go check it out right away!"
The Emperor of God naturally hugged Lan Qingwu and comforted him for a while, but Lan Qingwu felt extremely uncomfortable when he thought of Xiaoyi. "I... I don't want to stay here, and this bed..."
Emperor Shenwu also felt very wronged, but he immediately said, "Come here! Throw away all the bedding!"
Immediately, palace servants came in in an orderly manner, bowed, rolled up the bedding, cleaned, and made a new bed...
Lan Qingwu didn't mean that, but she couldn't break free from the Shenwu Emperor's arms, which were as strong as steel, so she could only say, "I want to go back to Fengqi Palace first!"
Emperor Shenwu waited for the palace maid to neatly make the bed, then carried Lan Qingwu to sit on the bed. "What? You still don't believe me?"
Lan Qingwu realized what was going on later. She just felt very uncomfortable. After all, it was all caused by Emperor Shenwu summoning Concubine Deng to his bed. Who wouldn't compete for favor in the harem? Especially women in their twenties, they didn't come to the palace to remain unknown.
Lan Qingwu understood it, and Emperor Shenwu understood it even more. Before Lan Qingwu could answer, Li Xiang had already returned quickly.
He dropped to his knees with a thud. "Your Majesty, I've figured it out. Last night, the Empress Dowager had Concubine Deng sent to a side hall in Qianzheng Palace. Seeing you weren't coming back, Concubine Deng became suspicious. She dismissed the guarding maids and managed to sneak into the main palace bedroom, leaving this little piece of clothing behind!"
"presumptuous!"
Emperor Shenwu angrily said, "Anyone can enter my main palace? How can you, the chief eunuch, do your job? How could you make such a mistake?"
Li Xiang, who took the blame, could only accept the punishment: "It is all my fault that I failed to discipline the palace maids. Your Majesty, please punish me!"
At the end, Li Xiang murmured carelessly: "It's all my fault. Who knew I would make such a mistake just one night!"
Li Xiang looked up and said pitifully, "Your Majesty knows that I was also in Fengqi Palace last night!"
This was a good comment, and the Emperor Shenwu's expression eased slightly. "Why don't you go down and accept your punishment?"
Li Xiang bowed to express his gratitude and walked out backwards.
Seeing that Lan Qingwu's face was still not good, Emperor Shenwu could not help but frowned: "Weak!"
Lan Qingwu lowered his eyes and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you think it's all someone else's fault?"
Why did Empress Dowager Li dare to do so? Wasn't it because she was emboldened by Emperor Shenwu? And why did Concubine Deng dare to openly seduce the emperor? Wasn't it because Emperor Shenwu summoned her to his bedchamber first, bestowed upon her a title, and granted her a new residence?
The root of all this is because of Emperor Shenwu!
Emperor Shenwu was an emperor, so naturally he felt it wasn't his fault! But he certainly couldn't say that to Lan Qingwu at this moment. He simply felt troubled, with Empress Dowager Li's relentless pressure and the newcomer's deliberate seduction. Lan Qingwu's tears falling on his heart made him feel a pang of pain.
"If Your Majesty feels that I am old and no longer attractive, you can certainly call in a new partner and don't have to stay with me any longer!"
"What are you talking about!"
Emperor Shenwu looked at Lan Qingwu's beautiful face. "Can't I wash it off? It's obvious that Concubine Deng is being too audacious! I will punish her severely. This is just a misunderstanding... Besides, you are so beautiful and charming! Who can compare to you?"
Lan Qingwu, sitting in the arms of Emperor Shenwu, had already sensed his emotions, but at this moment she had lost all mood and no longer wanted to follow the emperor's wishes.
Emperor Shenwu's heart was moved, and he couldn't help but kiss the beloved in his arms. She was in his arms, tightly pressed against him. He just wanted to rub her into his body and let the two of them become one.
Lan Qingwu feebly resisted the increasingly aggressive moves of the Divine Martial Emperor. With a single "hiss," her clothes were ripped off by the Divine Martial Emperor. He couldn't even wait to slowly remove Lan Qingwu's clothes. He picked her up and laid her on the bed, his entire body covering her.
It wasn't until the Emperor Shenwu kissed the cold tears on Lan Qingwu's face that he stopped. His eyes were faintly red, and he said patiently: "Ruoruo, it's wrong for me to make you sad! I will handle it! Don't reject me, after all this time, don't you miss me?"
Lan Qingwu said sadly, "If Your Majesty hadn't summoned Concubine Deng first, how could all this have happened? In my heart, this is all Brother Heng's fault. I can't get over this hurdle in my heart right now, but Brother Heng only wants me to serve you! Your Majesty, are you going to ignore my feelings and force me to serve you now?"
Emperor Shenwu gently kissed away the tears that fell from Lan Qingwu's cheeks and said helplessly, "Don't cry! My weakness is made of water! How could I ignore my weakness? Tell me, what do you want me to do to forgive you? All the treasures in my storehouse are for you to choose from!"
Lan Qingwu said angrily, "Brother Heng owns the whole world. All he needs to do is give an order and these treasures will be in my hands in a moment. Your apology is completely insincere. I don't want it!"
The Emperor Shenwu frowned, feeling the warmth and softness of the beautiful woman in his arms yet unable to taste her beauty. He hugged Lan Qingwu and sat her up, looking at her scattered black hair, and calmly admired the beautiful scenery before him. "Wei Ruo, you have no conscience when you say this! Don't you know my sincerity? Who draws the pictures and designs new jewelry for me every year? Who carves the gems for me every year?"
Lan Qingwu looked at the Shenwu Emperor with a pair of sparkling eyes, "Then I will also accept Brother Heng's sincerity this time!"
What in this world could possibly stump the Divine Martial Emperor? What was there that the Divine Martial Emperor couldn't accomplish? He assumed Lan Qingwu couldn't think of anything else, nothing more than exotic flowers and plants, gold, silver, and jewelry.
This was really no problem for the Shenwu Emperor, who was rich and owned Qiling Mountain, so he said directly: "Okay! Tell me what kind of sincerity you want, and I will definitely give you what you want!"
Lan Qingwu wrapped her arms around the Emperor Shenwu's waist and threw herself into his arms, resting her head gently on his broad shoulder. "I just read 'Records of Ancient Wonderful Beasts' in Fengqi Palace today. There's a pair of fish in it that I find very interesting. They're called Black Dragon and Silver Phoenix fish. They live in pairs deep in Qiling Mountain! For my first birthday in the palace, Brother Heng gave me a glass fish tank. A few of the fish in it have been missing in the past two years. I want Brother Heng to find these two fish as a token of my sincerity!"
As expected, Emperor Shenwu agreed immediately: "Okay! Wait for my fish!"
