Xichen's face was gloomy. After going to court, he did not summon his ministers and was alone in Nuan Pavilion correcting the memorial.
Eunuch An called everyone to him and lowered his voice to inform: "Long Yan is not happy today. You should all be smart and don't make any mistakes. Do you understand?"
Everyone agreed obediently, but Shen Huan looked indifferent. Eunuch An always knew her habits and would not embarrass her, but he smiled and said: "Miss, it's time for tea."
"knew"
Shen Huan walked into Nuan Pavilion holding a cup of tea, and quietly placed it on the jade table. Seeing that Xichen had no reaction, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop!" Xichen shouted softly
Shen Huan stood obediently and asked respectfully: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Xichen said nothing, stood up, walked slowly to Shen Han, and stared at her for a while. Shen Han stood calmly, and suddenly felt a pain in his jaw. Xichen had already held it in his hand, and met his cold eyes. Chen gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Hello, you are very good! Now it is getting more and more powerful, even I dare to scheme against you!"
Although Shen Huan was in pain, she was not upset. Seeing his angry look, she felt a little relieved and asked with a smile in her eyes: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Xichen wished he could crush her bones into pieces, and said angrily: "You ask me? I want to ask you, tell me! What did you put in the tea last night?"
Shen Huan turned around with a puzzled look and said: "I really don't know what the emperor is talking about."
Xichen raised his hand and was about to slap her, but his hand was in the air and he couldn't bear to slap her down. He had to sigh, slowly let go of her and said in a deep voice: "There are only two of us here, you don't have to hide it, I usually don't Will sleep so deeply, even...even if there is a woman by my side."
Shen Huan touched his chin and said with a smile: "Maybe the emperor was too happy last night, so he accidentally overslept."
Xichen looked at her coldly and said: "Huanwen, it's really meaningless to talk like this. Don't I know my body clearly?"
Shen Huan remained silent, Xichen was furious, pinched her neck and said: "Don't think that I am really reluctant to kill you!" He slowly put pressure on his hand, Shen Huan suddenly felt short of breath, and her face gradually turned red, and then turn white
Even though she suffered such pain from being strangled, Shen Huan smiled and said: "I...know...you...can't bear it...otherwise, when...the entire Shen family was...killed, I...should... died……"
Xichen felt a pain in her heart and threw her to the ground. Shen Huan lay on the ground and coughed, taking in big mouthfuls of air. After panting for a while, she stood up on her own.
Seeing Xichen's sad look, Shen Huan smiled and said slowly: "According to the rules of the palace, there are many things to pay attention to when concubines go to bed, such as the food they eat, the wine they drink, and - burning spices"
Xichen frowned, suddenly realizing that something felt wrong last night.
Shen Huan continued: "Generally speaking, in order for the emperor to sleep well at night, the spice burned in the concubines' bedroom is benzoin."
Xichen said: "Did you put benzoin in the tea?"
Shen Huan did not deny it, nodded and said: "Yes, if benzoin is just lit, it will make people sleep better at most, but if it is taken directly, it will make people sleep longer."
Xichen listened to her in a daze, then suddenly laughed and said, "Could this be your way of revenge to make me unable to get out of bed?"
Shen Huan also smiled: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, it will be very advantageous for you."
The corners of Xichen's lips raised, and she pulled Shen Huan close to her, saying, "You are not plotting against me, you are plotting against Libi. Could it be that last night... you were jealous?"
His breath was imminent. Shen Huan blinked and dissipated his breath: "Your Majesty is wrong again. I am just a dog slave. How can I be jealous of you?"
"You..." Xichen let go of her angrily, taking two steps back while shaking his head and smiling bitterly, "I watched you grow up, but I never knew you were such a vengeful child."
Shen Huan blessed his body and said: "There are many things that Your Majesty doesn't know. If Your Majesty has no other instructions, I will leave."
I don't know if it was her imagination, but Shen Huan heard the emperor behind him sighing softly.
He knew that he wanted revenge, but he tolerated himself by his side. Is he really not afraid that one day, he would put the sword across his neck again?
Or does he also understand that what he wants is not just his life?
Is he so sure that he can't do it? That's why he can keep it to himself
Shen Huan looked up at the sky. There were a few white clouds floating in the blue sky. It was almost the Chinese New Year, and even the weather was getting better.
I bent down and pinched my knee. It was the place where I had just fallen. It didn’t hurt very much, because some time ago, Shangyang Palace spent a lot of effort to cover all the halls with Persian carpets, which were thick and soft. of
Even his own room has some paving, so that Shen Huan won’t feel cold when he gets out of bed in the middle of the night and has bare feet.
