C50 Did the male lead lose his skin today? (1/2)
The room that imprisoned Wen Yan was not considered dark, it could even be considered bright. The sunlight that shone through the window could even drag a long shadow across the ground. However, it was probably because the past that was being discussed was too dark, Luo Yi still felt a suffocating feeling, until she stood back under the sunlight, the blood in her entire body started to flow again.
Qing Luo raised his hands to support her, to prevent her from falling down from the stairs, ”Empress?”
”I'm fine …” She steadied her mind and threw Qing Luo's hand away. ”Did you hear what I just said clearly?”
That's good. Luo Yi raised her eyebrows and let out an unknown ”Oh”. Then, she shook his head to throw away the strange and bizarre imagination in his head, and walked forward resolutely.
Hong Xiang turned around and kept the things one by one, then respectfully took half a step back: ”The Empress has been busy these past few days, and did not neglect the crown prince. After this period of time, she will come to see you.”
”...” ”Oh.” Chen Liyi buried his head into his textbook and humbly replied.
He also knew that Luo Yi was truly angry this time, so she hid in the room and didn't even dare to take the initiative to look for her. She was just like a pet abandoned by its master, pitifully staying where she was, waiting for to turn around and find him.
Luo Yi laughed and stuffed a piece of tangerine into Chen Liyi's mouth, ”I have been really busy these past few days, I didn't have time for you … Have you memorized all the books I've asked you to memorize? ”
She threw a petal back into her mouth, and her words were filled with the fragrance of fruit.
Chen Liyi quickly nodded, and fawningly pushed his book in front of Luo Yi: ”If you don't believe me, you can check it.”
”There's no need to check …” Luo Yi carefully wiped the fruit stains on her fingertips off the water basin that Hong Xiang brought over, and said without lifting her eyes: ”I trust you.”
Chen Liyi's body trembled, his half-drooped head raised to look straight at Luo Yi, just in time to see her grumbling actions: ”Why are you so dishonest after eating a meal …”
She muttered as she reached out her hands to pluck the rice grains on Chen Liyi's temples that had unknowingly come into contact with his hair. She then wrinkled her nose and laughed at him.
Chen Jinyan came back at noon.
Luo Yi didn't know what they were plotting, but she knew that she had already been a fool for a long time, so she didn't care for this moment. As usual, he sat him down on a chair and smiled, ”Your majesty might not have smelled the scent of Chenqie's kitchen.”
Chen Jinyan glanced at her, then looked at Chen Liyi who was standing obediently behind her. He was slightly surprised.
Seeing that he was always so fierce, even when he was shouting ”Long live”, his eyes revealed a hint of viciousness, so when he saw being so obedient, Chen Jinyan actually felt that he was a little not used to it.
While he was talking about Luo Yi, his eyes kept looking at Chen Liyi, as if he was extremely curious about him.
Luo Yi pursed her lips and pretended not to see, while Chen Liyi peeked at her expression, just like how she pretended to be deaf and blind.
Chen Jinyan drank a mouthful of tea before finally withdrawing his gaze from Chen Liyi. After that, he laughed and switched to the main topic of discussion: ”Imperial Consort Yi wishes to borrow the Imperial Guard from my place?”
”Yes.” Luo Yi lowered her head and replied obediently.
”The Imperial Guard is an important barrier in charge of the palace guards. Imperial Consort Yi casually wants to obtain the right to deploy the Imperial Guards from me. It's really hard for me to not think too much about it …”
He sighed, ”Speaking of which, the two Imperial Guards that Imperial Consort Yi borrowed from me a few days ago have yet to return.”
Luo Yi raised her hand to pour some tea for Chen Liyi. ”The emperor probably heard from the Lord Mu that Chenqie caught a servant in the Hall of Announcements a few days ago.”
Chen Jinyan did not even look at Mu Yizhou, and only nodded.
She also knew that no matter how difficult the process was, they would still lend it to her in the end. They also knew that it was as if they were acting out a lousy play that had been seen through long ago. There was already no one watching from the audience, but they had no choice but to brace themselves and continue acting.
”When chenqie heard that the Lin Yi Hall's weeds were growing very well, she thought that since it would be empty anyway, and it would be good to plant some fruits and vegetables, so she wanted to borrow the Imperial Guards to help chenqie weed removal.”
”Imperial Consort Yi sure has great guts …” Chen Jinyan faintly smiled, his fingers hitting the rim of his cup lightly. The words that he did not hear the tone of voice made the servant beside him shiver.
Luo Yi only thought of herself as a mute.
After a long while, Chen Jinyan suddenly laughed, and the temperature in the room quickly rose along with his laugh. The people beside him had yet to recover from the Son of Heaven's moody mood, and could already hear Chen Jinyan laughing loudly, ”Isn't it the Imperial Guards!? If your beloved concubine wants it, just take it and use it. ”
The little eunuch beside Chen Jinyan gasped once again.
One had to know that the Imperial Guards were the most important defensive line in the palace, yet the emperor had so casually bestowed the right to call on the Imperial Guards to this imperial concubine …
The young eunuch quietly raised his head and looked at Imperial Consort Yi, who had such a great honor but had not changed her expression at all. She thought to herself that she had to curry favor with her in the future.
The news of Imperial Consort Yi obtaining the right to call for the Imperial Guards quickly spread inside the palace walls. With more and more rumors of the 'Imperial Consort Yi's Pet Crown and harem', the news of this matter finally reached outside the walls.
The old officials bitterly lamented the fact that the demoness had poured the bewitching soup on the new emperor. They were planning on beheading the Demon Consort to return the peace of the land. On the other hand, the rumors outside the palace regarding the Imperial Consort Yi became more and more intense. The most exaggerated one actually said that Luo Yi was a character who looked like one of the most important people, and said that the purpose of her birth was to destroy this country.
Yi Qiannan heard a new explanation today and burrowed into his room with great interest. He didn't even bother to take a sip of water before diligently sending the message to the two of them, ”Do you two know about the flames that shot into the sky from the east side two days ago? Aiyo, us Luo Yi are useless, some people say that this is because the ruler of a country was bewitched by the witch, and the heavens were furious, so they sent down heavenly fire as a warning! ”Tsk tsk!”
He was speechless, and thought to himself that he had been blind in the past, but he did not know that Luo Yi was still her reincarnation.
Tang Yuan looked at Lin Ting's darkening face beside him, grabbed a handful of dessert and stuffed it into the mouth of the person who was about to say something, ”Shut up!”
Recently, he had become more and more ferocious. He no longer looked like a noble and exalted immortal he had when he first met her. The Yi Qiannan committee member looked at him out of the corner of his eye, feeling wronged, but he didn't say anything. He just chewed and swallowed the dessert in his mouth.
He thought that his face was filled with the expression of being wronged and disdainful, completely unaware of the fact that to outsiders, he seemed to be satisfied with what he had done.
Because of Luo Yi, his noble house's reputation rose immediately, as she was busy with making friends with her beloved concubine brother, with power and influence. The commoners of the poor families, on the other hand, were curious about his family's foxes, and all of them squeezed their heads out to see what exactly they looked like.
