A faint, fine smoke rises from the incense burner with auspicious cloud patterns and blue dragons and auspicious animals. In the royal study room, where everything is exquisite, the air is filled with a faint scent of dragon sandalwood, which enters the nostrils slightly.
At this time, the bright yellow dragon robe on the dragon chair highlighted his tall and straight body, like a cold sharp sword. He wore a purple gold crown on his head, looking extremely handsome, with his thin lips pursed beautifully, and his domineering eyes.
Staring at the memorial in his hand, he read it attentively and carefully reviewed each memorial.
At this time, a high-pitched announcement sounded outside the royal study: "Your Majesty, Lord Gao has arrived."
"Xuan!" Yu Wenrui put down the memorial in his hand and said in a low voice, with his usual cold expression on his lips.
With the sound of the study door opening, a tall black figure walked in, handsome and heroic. This person was Gao Yixiang, the minister in charge of the bodyguards. He stepped in front of the emperor, clasped his hands and said respectfully:
"I see you, Your Majesty."
"Pingsheng." Yu Wenrui glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "How is the matter I wanted you to check?"
Gao Yixiang looked upright and replied respectfully: "I found out that the Queen did not take any medicine from the Imperial Pharmacy after she entered the palace." As he spoke, he presented the record book of the Imperial Pharmacy to the emperor.
Yu Wenrui didn't take a glance, but leaned back on the chair, with a cold expression on his face and his thin lips slightly parted: "What else did you find?"
"On the contrary, the Queen's personal female officer Xiang Ling leaves the palace regularly every month. Tomorrow happens to be the day when Xiang Ling leaves the palace. I am planning to..."
Yu Wenrui raised his hand slightly to stop what Gao Yixiang was going to say. With a handsome face and a calm face, he said coldly: "This matter ends here. It must not be disclosed to anyone."
Seeing that the emperor's face seemed to be deliberately protecting something, Gao Yixiang also knew the emperor's intention, so he respectfully accepted the order and said: "I obey."
Yu Wenrui waved his hand and said, "Okay, please step back first."
"Wei Chen excuses himself." Gao Yixiang bowed respectfully, turned around and left.
Just after Gao Yixiang left, Eunuch Xu outside the door suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived."
Soon, a soft and graceful figure walked in gracefully, and Fu Shen said: "I send my regards to the Emperor."
"Get up." Yu Wenrui looked at Situ Yan's face and couldn't tell what his mood was at this moment.
"I know that the emperor has been working hard these past few days, so I specially sent the emperor the flower tea that I brewed." There was a white jade cup on the tray with smoke curling up. Situ Yan carefully brought the white jade cup in front of the emperor.
Spreading this elegant smile, he said: "I haven't made scented tea for the emperor for a long time. Ever since I was kidnapped, I don't know why I can't make the same flavor as before. Your Majesty, please don't think that I am clumsy."
Yu Wenrui narrowed his black eyes slightly. In fact, when he was still a prince, he met Shen Tianjiao and Situ Yan for the first time. After he drank the scented tea made by Situ Yan himself, he fell deeply in love with this woman.
And the smell of scented tea was deeply engraved in his heart, lingering in his mind.
In order to ascend to the throne, because Shen Wancheng held military power, while Shen Tianjiao read all the books and was proficient in the art of war, he finally chose the Shen family and buried his love for Situ Yan deeply in his heart until he ascended the throne.
After that, he could not forget Situ Yan in his heart, so he ordered someone to secretly arrange to meet Situ Yan. Only then did he realize that Situ Yan had already secretly promised him, which made him excited, and that night he made Situ Yan his woman.
"I really haven't had this scented tea for a long time." Thinking about everything in the past, Yu Wenrui's expression softened, he took the white jade cup, took a sip, frowned, and a bad feeling came to his heart again.
.
"Is the taste a bit bad?" Situ Yan looked at the emperor's expression and asked worriedly.
"It tastes good." Yu Wenrui was indeed a little disappointed. He had never tasted the unique taste in his memory, but he had never forgotten that taste.
It tastes good, but it's not the same taste as he remembered. Thinking of this, Situ Yan's eyes flashed with disappointment for no reason, and she was about to speak——
At this time, Eunuch Xu outside the door hurriedly knocked on the door and reported, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Fang came to say that there is something urgent to report, and he is waiting outside the door..."
