”Your Majesty, if you're tired, chenqie will help you massage it.” Are you sure you want to massage my shoulders? ” Li An Zhu said softly.
Xuan Ye nodded. ”Alright.” He turned and lay down on the bed. Li Anzhu hurriedly sat up and rubbed Xuan Ye's shoulder. ”Your Majesty, chenqie knows that you've worked hard. On one side is war, and on the other is the prince's death.”
Xuan Ye sighed and thought to himself, Li Anzhu normally thought that someone who wasn't very smart would also have a time like this. She nodded and said, ”Yes, I hope the heavens bless the clear.”
”Your majesty, chenqie has something that I don't know whether to report or not.” Li An Zhu continued.
”What is it? Just say it, I won't blame you.” Xuan Ye was also curious about what the Noble Lady An had to say.
Hearing Xuan Ye's words, Li An Zhu seriously replied, ”Yes, Your Majesty. These days, all the sisters in the palace have been upset over Prince Changsheng's death. However, there are rumors saying that the four princes of Noble Lady Rong died one after the other because of the Noble Lady Rong's nemesis.”
Xuan Ye frowned slightly. ”What, did you know as well?”
Hearing Xuan Ye's words, Lee Anzhu said, ”Could it be that His Majesty already knows?” ”Yes, it's all about to be known.
Xuan Ye did not move. His tone was calm as he asked, ”Who spread this rumor?”
”Your majesty, chenqie doesn't know either. It's just that everyone in the palace says so now.” Lee Anzhu said carefully, unable to figure out Xuan Ye's thoughts.
”Humph!” To spread rumors in the palace, such people should be put to death! ” Xuan Ye suddenly said loudly.
Lee Anzhu jumped in fright and murmured, ”Yes, Your Majesty, but that's what the people in the palace say. They say Noble Lady Rong is the bane, the bane of one's father, and there's even the possibility of … ”Cough, chenqie is worried about the emperor's safety as well …”
”Don't say anymore!” Xuan Ye suddenly sat up and angrily said, ”Noble Lady An, I wish to end this here. You are all my concubines, how can there be such a backlash between you two.”
Seeing that Xuan Ye had been angered, Lee Anzhu quickly got off the bed and knelt down, ”Your Majesty is wise and clear, chenqie is only worried about Your Majesty and not wanting to hurt Noble Lady Rong. Ever since An Zhu entered the palace, she has been like a sister to Noble Lady Rong.
Xuan Ye sighed heavily, ”Get up, I know what you're thinking, but don't bring up this matter anymore. Noble Lady Rong has been by my side for more than ten years, if she were to get rid of me, I'm afraid that I would have already lost my life.
”Yes, Your Majesty. Chenqie will never mention it again.” Li Anzhu hurriedly replied.
”Alright, rest.” After saying that, Xuan Ye lay back down. Lee An-zhu crept up from beside the bed. She did not believe that the Emperor did not doubt her. If the Emperor really did not doubt her, he would not blame her in the slightest. Noble Lady Rong had been favored by Xuan Ye for more than ten years, this should be the end of it.
Xuan Ye's head hurt, and the empress dowager's words once again came to his mind. ”Your Majesty, This Dowager also likes Noble Lady Rong, but what if she really does have his life against his husband?”
