She still has a good ability to discern. Although she couldn't believe that Nangong Lie's words were said by him, she could clearly feel his seriousness and sincerity.
Obviously, Nangong Lie personally apologized for her falling into the water today.
In Zhenliang's eyes, there were many things that Nangong Lie could not forgive her for, but she never expected him, a great person like him, to apologize to her, because it was impossible and there was no reason.
Zhenliang was shocked, and the anger and resentment that she had been holding back today and even yesterday disappeared very easily.
In fact, she knew that she fell into the water today, and she also had a big responsibility. If she had not boasted about her water-ness in front of him, no matter how ruthless Nangong Lie was, he would not deliberately let a woman with no water-ness at all fall into the lake.
Staring at Nangong Lie blankly, Zhenliang felt that her heart was beating fiercely. For a moment, she did not dare to touch her heart because she was afraid of touching that soft heart.
In order to cover up his abnormality, Zhenliang deliberately said with a look of disdain, "Your Majesty, can I come to see you in the middle of the night?"
The implication is that she wanted to take revenge on him in the middle of the night.
Hearing this, Nangong Lie nodded readily, "Yes, you can choose the coldest midnight."
Zhenliang looked at Nangong Lie's generous and serious handsome expression, and couldn't help but smile, "Okay, it's a deal."
The originally awkward and weird atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed, as if nothing special had happened.
After Nangong Lie left, Zhenliang recalled everything that had just happened in the palace and hit himself on the top of the head in frustration.
Ahhhh, she was obviously forced by Nangong Lie to do such embarrassing things for him, why could she laugh easily afterwards?
Could it be that she was infected by Nangong Lie and became shameless? Or, subconsciously, she has regarded him as her man, so she can be tolerant in many places?
"Dong dong dong" knocking on the door interrupted Zhenliang's thoughts.
Jin Ye's voice came from outside the door, "Madam, can you come in?"
Zhenliang was about to agree when his eyes touched the liquid sprayed on the bookcase. His cheeks turned red and he immediately said, "Don't come in yet."
There was immediately no sound outside the door.
Zhenliang stood there in daze for a while, bit her lip, and decided to do it herself. If those girls saw this kind of cleaning, I wonder what they would imagine. Therefore, she must not let them discover Nangong.
The disgusting things left behind by Lie Nasi.
Quickly finding a few handkerchiefs, Zhenliang pinched his nose while carefully cleaning the liquid from the water tank.
In fact, those liquids didn't smell bad, nor did they emit a particularly strong smell. It was just because it came from a place like Nangong Lie that Zhenliang couldn't accept it and could only describe it as disgusting.
Immediately afterwards, Zhenliang found a larger piece of cloth and wrapped all the dirty towels.
Finally, under everyone's surprised eyes, Zhenliang burned the baggage in person. No matter how several girls asked, she just kept silent and refused to answer.
Because he was worried that Zhenliang would catch wind and cold after falling into the water, Jinye ordered the kitchen to prepare a large bowl of ginger soup for Zhenliang and forced Zhenliang to drink it.
Maybe the ginger soup had a good effect, maybe Zhenliang took a bath in time after sleeping naked, or maybe her body was already in good shape. After sleeping in the palace for a few hours, she returned to normal.
News came that the emperor, who had never been seriously ill, was suffering from abdominal pain like cramps.
The strange thing is that the emperor neither asked anyone to thoroughly investigate the source of his diet, nor made any other statement. It was as if nothing happened and he took some medicine and rested.
Because Nangong Lie didn't want to tell anyone else that he probably had abdominal pain because he drank the lake water sprayed from Zhenliang's mouth. Firstly, he looked embarrassed, and secondly, he was afraid of affecting Zhenliang.
Early the next morning, Zhenliang slept soundly and did not get up at the almost fixed time on weekdays. Several girls were concerned about her falling into the water yesterday, so no one came to disturb her and let her sleep until she woke up naturally.
However, Eunuch Jiao suddenly appeared in Qiongyu Palace at this time, saying that the emperor had ordered that he must see Concubine Liang within a quarter of an hour.
No one dared to offend Eunuch Jiao, so the girls had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to wake Concubine Liang.
Zhenliang was woken up from her dreamless sleep. After hearing the reason why she had to get up immediately, she rolled her eyes and lay down again. She said angrily, "Go back to Eunuch Jiao and say that I am dead. In two hours,
Only then can you survive.”
Several girls looked at each other in embarrassment, no one dared to report the truth. They watched the time pass by bit by bit, but Zhenliang curled up motionless in the bed.
Of course Jinye and the others felt sorry for Zhenliang's lack of sleep, but they were also afraid that she would offend the emperor and the hard-earned favor would disappear. Therefore, after weighing the balance, they chose to stand silently in front of the bed with a look on their faces.
They are all worried.
Although Zhenliang deliberately covered her face in the quilt and remained motionless, she actually couldn't fall asleep at all because she was so angry. I wonder if Nangong Lie is sick and wants to see her so early in the morning.
Do you need more rest if you are weak?
If we were in a modern era where men and women were equal, she would really want to yell at Eunuch Jiao: Since the emperor wants to see me, let him do it himself!
After being silently angry for a while, Zhenliang kicked off the quilt and got up with a dark face.
By the time she was properly dressed and washed, a quarter of an hour had already passed.
Even, in order to avoid the possibility of starving, Zhenliang had a delicious breakfast. In response, Eunuch Jiao kept smiling, neither urging nor getting angry, which made Jinye and the others feel a little confused.
This is a funny illusion, as if Eunuch Jiao belongs to Concubine Liang and not to the Emperor at all.
The person who was really cool was Nangong Lie, who had nothing to do with Eunuch Jiao, so she felt embarrassed to be treated so kindly by Eunuch Jiao, so she couldn't help but speed up her breakfast a lot.
When Zhenliang and Eunuch Jiao were walking alone on the road to Jiulong Palace, Zhenliang asked, "Eunuch Jiao, does he know what the emperor wants from me?"
Eunuch Jiao smiled kindly and said, "I don't know very well about this. I'll know after Concubine Liang goes there."
It was as if he had not asked. Zhenliang was not angry with Eunuch Jiao. He just pouted and scolded Nangong Lie secretly.
After finally arriving at the Jiulong Hall, Eunuch Jiao opened the door of the dormitory and signaled Zhenliang to go in alone. As soon as Zhenliang stepped in, Eunuch Jiao closed the door behind him in time.
It was very quiet in the dormitory. The further Zhenliang walked in, the stronger the smell of medicine could be smelled.
When Zhenliang saw the bed, Nangong Lie was lying on the bed with his back to her, motionless, seemingly asleep.
However, Zhenliang knew that Nangong Lie must not have fallen asleep. How could this evil man accidentally fall asleep after seeing her?
He slowly stood beside the bed and said in a cold voice, "Why does the emperor bring me here to help you?"
Nangong Lie just lay quietly on his side, leaving his broad back for her to see, without making any response.
