When the sky was getting dark, Hongli slowly opened his eyes. Last night, Mingyu seemed to be back. He and Mingyu hugged each other tightly, and then... Mingyu's spirit and flesh merged. The feeling was far better than before.
, it’s really indescribably wonderful, it’s almost... it can be said that it makes you want to die.
It's a pity... everything is just a dream. Mingyu is already dead, so how can he come back again? They are separated by yin and yang and can only meet each other in the dream soul.
When Hongli sat up and was about to drink the hangover tea brought by Sixi, he felt something was wrong again. Although his pajamas were neatly dressed, the feeling... was unmistakable. Someone must have been sleeping with him last night, that is,
Said...that wasn't a dream, could it be Concubine Yu?
This idea was rejected by him as soon as it came to his mind. He knew very well the situation of Concubine Yu, and it was absolutely impossible for him to feel that way. But if not Concubine Yu, who could it be?
Thinking of this, he pretended to be calm and said: "Sixi, Concubine Yu was waiting for me last night?"
Si Xi had followed Hongli for so many years, how could she not understand what he meant, and immediately said: "If I want to return to the emperor, Concubine Yu left after waiting for the emperor to rest, and did not stay long."
As expected, it was not Concubine Yu. Hongli thought for a moment and said again: "In addition to Concubine Yu, who else has come to visit me, the imperial concubine?"
Si Xi frowned and said: "When I returned to the emperor, I didn't see the imperial concubine or other empresses coming." After that, he asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Hongli shook his head and said, "No, I'm just asking." As he said that, he said unwillingly, "Really, no one has been here?"
Seeing that he had been asking about this, Si Xi felt hesitant and did not dare to answer easily. She thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Jingxuan was vigilant last night and stayed here all the time. She should know best."
Upon hearing her name, Wei Jingxuan, who had been silent all this time, immediately knelt down and said, "To inform the emperor, after Concubine Yu left, no one stepped into the inner hall again until Eunuch Xi waited on the emperor to wash and change clothes."
"No one..." Hongli murmured, was it really his illusion? No, he is a man, and he knows this feeling most clearly. It is definitely not a dream, but Wei Jingxuan should not say such a thing
Lies. Thinking of this, a ridiculous idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and his eyes slowly moved to Wei Jingxuan. Could it be... that she?
Wei Jingxuan, who had her head lowered, seemed to feel his gaze, her body trembled slightly, and she lowered her head lower. Her appearance made Hongli even more suspicious, and she wanted to ask, but it was not the right time at this time.
, and besides, the morning court time was approaching, and he had to change clothes immediately to go to court.
Thinking like this, Hongli suppressed the thoughts in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Change my clothes immediately!"
Hearing these words, a trace of disappointment flashed across Wei Jingxuan's lowered eyebrows. When she raised her eyebrows again, everything had returned to normal, and she, Sixi and the others, served Hongli to change clothes and freshen up.
After Si Xi went to court with Hong Li, Xiao Wu approached Wei Jingxuan and whispered: "What happened last night that made the emperor keep asking questions?"
"You are so curious, why didn't you ask just now? I don't know anything." Wei Jingxuan replied angrily and went down with the copper basin.
Xiao Wu stared at her back and said angrily: "Wei Jingxuan, who is usually quiet, why is she so aggressive today? Who messed with her?"
During the morning court that day, Hongli was a little absent-minded. After the court was dismissed, he returned to the inner hall, but he did not immediately review the documents that had just been presented. Instead, he ordered Sixi and the others to go out, leaving only Wei Jingxuan in the hall.
Hongli secretly took a breath and said: "Wei Jingxuan, I ask you again, besides Concubine Yu, did anyone else enter or leave the Yangxin Hall last night?"
"Returning to the emperor, no." As soon as Wei Jingxuan finished speaking, Hongli asked: "Then who slept with me last night?"
Wei Jingxuan was secretly happy. Hongli had indeed not forgotten what happened last night. She tried her best to suppress her joy and pretended to be flustered: "Last night... no one slept with me last night. I wonder if the emperor..."
"You're lying!" Hongli suddenly interrupted her and said sternly: "Last night, someone must have been sleeping with me, asking who it was?!"
Wei Jingxuan quickly knelt down and said firmly: "I didn't lie. I really don't have anyone to sleep with. I don't know why the emperor is so sure..."
Hongli stared at her for a long time, then suddenly said: "You don't say so? Okay, immediately go and call the nun in charge of the physical examination at Zhongcui Palace." Before Wei Jingxuan could say anything, he said again: "When you enter the palace,
When a nun has verified your virginity, let her test you again today to see if you are still a virgin?!"
Hearing this, Wei Jingxuan's face became even more panicked, and she quickly said: "Slave... I don't understand why the emperor... would do this, slave..." She spoke incoherently, and after being unable to continue, she suddenly kowtowed.
: "Your Majesty, I forgive you, my slave...it was not intentional..."
Hongli walked down and stared at her with annoyance, "I guessed it right, it is you, Wei Jingxuan, how brave are you to seduce me?!"
Wei Jingxuan did not expect Hongli to react like this. She was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and said hurriedly: "No, there is no such thing, I have not..."
The next moment, Hongli's hand was already around her neck, and then slowly tightened it, just like that day, "If you didn't seduce me while I was drunk, how could you have climbed onto the dragon's bed, Wei Jingxuan, I
For the sake of the queen, I allow you to serve here, but you are so dishonest
Shame on you; I really shouldn't have let you go that day!" After that, he smiled coldly and said: "Do you really want to be my woman? But I have never thought of giving you the honor of being a concubine, no.
People can put their plans on my head, but you... can't do it even more!"
Hongli's ruthlessness frightened Wei Jingxuan. The gradually increasing force on her neck made it difficult for her to breathe. She tried hard to break open Hongli's hand and said with difficulty: "If...if this slave really wants to...become the emperor through this...
The...concubine, just...won't try to hide this matter, the emperor...the emperor has the wrong slave!"
Her words made Hongli's hands tremble and he relaxed a little unconsciously. Yes, if Wei Jingxuan really wanted to fly to the branch with this, she should have told herself what happened last night instead of trying to hide it. If she hadn't
Having guessed this, I'm afraid...the truth will continue to be concealed like this.
Although the hand was loosened, Wei Jingxuan no longer had difficulty breathing, but the hand never retracted. Wei Jingxuan watched nervously, fearing that it would tighten again and take her life.
Fortunately, what she worried about did not happen. Hongli slowly retracted his hand and said coldly: "Tell me, what happened last night!"
