The entire palace was shrouded in the sound of rumbling rain, but Yu Wenyuan's bedroom was brightly lit.
His cloudy face looked dark and terrifying in the room. Zhang Xiang and Xiao Xiangzi stood on the ground, not even daring to breathe.
"Zhang Xiang, tell me the truth, can my dizziness be cured?" Yu Wenyuan closed his eyes and reached out for Xiao Xiangzi to help him up. But before he could sit down, he felt a whirlwind coming over him, so he had to
He lay back down again.
He clenched his fists and slammed the bed hard: "Heaven wants to kill me, God wants to kill me!"
"I am so unwilling. I am still in my prime, and my talents have not yet had time to be used. Even if I die, I will not be able to rest in peace. Zhang...Xiang, answer me, answer me!"
Zhang Xiang fell to his knees with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Your Majesty, I have tried my best. The effect of the suppressive medicine is no longer as good as before. In a short period of time, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a good way. Please be patient for a few more days. I will do my best to solve this problem for the Emperor.
poison."
"Okay, you must do your best. When I get better, I will definitely give you a promotion and make you a hereditary member of the Zhang family."
Zhang Xiang felt bitter in his heart and quickly thanked him: "I thank you, Your Majesty."
"Go back. I've worked really hard on you these days. Zhang Xiang, how old is your grandson now?" Yu Wenyuan suddenly asked Zhang Hope.
Zhang Xiang replied honestly: "Back to the emperor, my grandson is seventeen years old. A few days ago, he had a conflict with the second son of the Yun family on the road. He was beaten so much that he is still lying in bed and unable to get up."
"The Yun family beat him? Can he be punished?" Yu Wenyuan's mood became anxious.
"No, I heard from the people in the Nine Gates Admiral that the person who beat the grandson of the minister ran away. The second young master of the Yun family even said that he did not know that person. Where is the capital? If he did not know each other, how could that person do it?
The grandson who beats the minister! It’s obviously Yun Jinxing who is lying, this is a trick that the Yun family often uses."
"I will ask someone to investigate this matter, and I will give you an explanation. The ninth princess has now reached the age of marriage, and I intend to give her to your Zhang family. What do you think?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Zhang Xiang was overjoyed and kowtowed in gratitude.
If he, the Zhang family, can get the princess to be his wife, then no matter who takes the throne in the future, the Zhang family will have an extra protective umbrella. This is a great blessing.
"You go down and rest, I don't need you to guard me here." Shou Wenyuan asked Zhang Xiang to step back.
He paused for a while and said to Xiao Xiangzi: "Go and call Cang Gou for me. I have something to give you."
Cang Gou came in the rain, and when he knelt on the ground, his clothes were still dripping with water. He said with a loyal look on his face: "Your Majesty, Cang Gou saw you, what are your orders?"
Yu Wenyuan said: "Go and find out why the young master of the Yun family and Zhang Xiang's grandson fought in the street a few days ago. I want to know the truth!"
He is worried that he will not have the chance to clean up the Yun family!
"Yes, Cang Gou excuses himself."
Yu Wenyuan felt even more agitated as he listened to the drumming of rain outside. He said to Xiao Xiangzi, "Let someone call Concubine Xue over and tell her that I have something to do with her."
Xiao Xiangzi looked outside and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, it's already ugly time. I'm afraid Concubine Xue has already fallen asleep. And it's raining so hard. Do you want to go back tomorrow morning..."
"I want to see her right away!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will send someone to call you immediately."
When Concubine Xue came, she was still wet from head to toe even if a maid held an oil-paper umbrella for her.
"I have met the Emperor. Your Majesty, why did you announce that I am here so late?"
"Why, I asked you to come here in the rain, do you have resentment in your heart?" Yu Wenyuan opened his eyes and looked at Concubine Xue with dissatisfaction.
Concubine Xue raised her head in fear. She knew that the emperor had been dissatisfied with her because of the fifth prince's matter. She didn't know the reason for Ke'er's matter! If she had known, she would have told her a long time ago, and she would still be able to see her biological son.
Did you suffer such a big crime?
"Your Majesty, I have no resentment. I am just worried about the Emperor. Why are you still up so late?" Concubine Xue's eyes turned red as she spoke. She stood up and walked towards the Emperor.
He squeezed Xiao Xiangzi away and stretched out his hands to massage the emperor's forehead and temples.
"Your Majesty, I am really worried about you..."
Her hand was grasped by the emperor, and his cold eyes suddenly fell on her face: "Concubine Xue, are you worried about me? In your heart, you should be wishing that I would die! Do you think that if I die, your son will
Become a prince, become an emperor? I..."
Concubine Xue endured the pain in her wrist, hurriedly knelt down in front of the bed, and began to swallow.
"Your Majesty, how could I lie to you! Only when you are on the throne can I be my concubine. When I think of becoming a concubine in the future and living under someone else's roof, I want to kill and poison the emperor.
Your Majesty, I hope you get better more than anyone else, Your Majesty! Because in this world, you are the only one who treats Xueer sincerely!"
She cried so hard that she was hoarse...
Even though his heart was as cold and hard as Yu Wenyuan's, he was moved by her. With trembling hands, he touched her cheek and wiped away her tears.
"Xue'er, I know your thoughts, but I have something to ask you to do."
"Your Majesty, please tell me, I will never give up even if I die!"
Yu Wenyuan's eyes became sinister, but he said as softly as possible: "Go and help me find out the secrets of the fifth prince. As long as he is willing to tell, I will make him the prince!"
Concubine Xue's lowered eyes showed a trace of resentment.
"Your Majesty, I understand that I will leave tomorrow. However, I have asked about this before, and Xing'er probably doesn't know the reason. If he knew, with his filial piety, he should have said everything.
"
Yu Wenyuan's eyes turned cold and he said angrily: "Bullshit! He wants to kill me so that he can become the emperor! He is dreaming!"
Concubine Xue hesitated for a moment, then swallowed hard and said: "Your Majesty, please give me some time. I will definitely find a way to ask you."
"Okay, it's not in vain that I love you so much. Xue'er, I promise you that as long as I get well, I will make you my queen!" Yu Wenyuan began to promise Concubine Xue.
As soon as he finished speaking, he said immediately: "Come here, take Concubine Xue to the Fifth Prince's Mansion."
Concubine Xue's expression changed. It was pouring rain outside, but the emperor didn't pity her at all and actually let her go overnight. What else could she expect from such an emperor?
She said: "Your Majesty, I am leaving this concubine!"
She walked out of the emperor's palace, and the expression on her face became as cold and heartless as that rainy night. Yu Wenyuan, you forced me to do this. I didn't want to.
Why are you forcing me!

Early this morning, Jiang Li came to see Yun Muzhou.
"Miss, good news. My friend from the Jianghu has recruited three loyal ministers whose homes were confiscated."
