She was sitting on the couch, but she heard the noise coming from outside the inner courtyard, which became more and more intense.
Shen Dingzhu couldn't help but let Xiucui support her, and sat up with her clothes on.
"Your Majesty, it's cold at night, please don't go out," Xiucui said, fearing that she would be blown by the wind, "Jing Yi has already gone to take a look. I'm sure you'll know what's going on soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jing Yi's figure ran back quickly.
"How's it going? What happened? Is there an assassin?" Shen Dingzhu asked quickly.
Jing Yi gave her a complicated look.
"It's not like anything big happened. Huang Yunmeng was just arrested."
Shen Dingzhu was startled and frowned suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
Jing Yiyan told what happened briefly and comprehensively.
It turned out that when Su Wenhua came to the courtyard to check if Huang Yunmeng was still there, he found that she was missing. Su Wenhua thought that she would be waiting for an opportunity to seduce Xiao Langyan, so he took the initiative to check in the outer courtyard.
Unexpectedly, she caught Huang Yunmeng staying in Xiao Langyan's room.
"How is this possible? How come there are no guards around the emperor!" Xiu Cui found it incredible.
Shen Dingzhu asked hurriedly: "Where is Lei Hong? Didn't Imperial Physician Cen say that Lei Hong was staying outside?"
Jing Yi shook his head and said he didn't know.
So there was endless noise outside. It was Xiao Langyan who woke up when he heard Su Wenhua's cry and sent people to arrest Huang Yunmeng.
Shen Dingzhu was a little worried, so she wanted to go to the outer courtyard with clothes on her shoulders.
Xiucui hurriedly persuaded her: "Madam, since we have caught him, don't go out. The night wind is cold, and your body is weak now, so be more careful."
Shen Dingzhu could only lie back on the couch and wait. She arranged for Jing Yi to go to the outer courtyard to watch and tell her when there was news.
Su Wenhua said that he would keep an eye on Huang Yunmeng for her, but Shen Dingzhu didn't take it seriously. However, he never expected that Su Wenhua would catch Huang Yunmeng with evil intentions.
But didn't Xiao Langyan say that he was going to approve the memorial? Huang Yunmeng couldn't sneak in. He hadn't noticed it yet, right?
In this way, she waited for half an hour and finally understood the cause and effect.
When Imperial Physician Cen left, he asked Lei Hong to guard Xiao Langyan, but for some reason, Lei Hong and his guards were not outside at that time.
Huang Yunmeng probably took advantage of that moment to sneak into the house, and she didn't know what she had done until Su Wenhua broke in and caught her.
After Shen Dingzhu heard what Jing Yi said, she became more and more confused.
Xiao Langyan was a very alert person, even when he was asleep. Why did he let Huang Yunmeng break in?
Is he really criticizing the memorial?
Xiucui also learned the news from Chen Heng: "The queen felt the noise just now. In fact, it was Miss Su who grabbed Huang Yunmeng's hair and dragged her out of the room. Mr. Shi also woke up. I heard that Huang Yunmeng screamed It’s very miserable.”
Not only that, Su Wenhua grabbed Huang Yunmeng's hair and slapped her hard several times.
He angrily called her a "little maid trying to climb onto the dragon's bed"!
Huang Yunmeng's face was swollen and she screamed for mercy. Su Wenhua didn't let go. In the end, the imperial army came up to separate the two of them.
Even if Xiucui didn't say anything, Shen Dingzhu could have guessed what Huang Yunmeng wanted to do when he quietly ran to Xiao Langyan's room.
How could she be so naive and not afraid that Xiao Langyan would kill her?
Shen Dingzhu felt that the matter was bizarre: "Have you found out? Where was Lei Hong at that time?"
She was more concerned about Xiao Langyan's safety. There was no guard outside even though he was a majestic emperor?
Xiucui: "Lei Hong came in a hurry later. He said he heard something strange in the southwest corner of the house, so he took the imperial army to investigate. He was only gone for less than half a stick of incense."
Shen Dingzhu frowned: "How could he leave his post without permission?"
It was simply irresponsible to leave casually even though he knew that no one was around Xiao Langyan.
Xiucui nodded: "The emperor was so angry that he dismissed Lei Hong on the spot and gave his position to the accompanying deputy commander. I heard that after returning to the capital, he would be severely punished. Now he is just imprisoned. .”
After Shen Dingzhu understood clearly, it was getting late and she felt sleepy.
Seeing that Xiao Langyan wouldn't be able to come for a while, she asked Xiucui and Jing Yi to leave on their own, and would find Su Wenhua tomorrow to learn about the situation.
Before going to bed, she asked her wet nurse to hold Xiao Buer and give her a look.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but she heard the sound of someone opening the door. She probably wasn't in a stable mood, so she didn't sleep deeply, so she woke up immediately.
There was half a warm candle burning in the room. It was not bright enough, but it was enough for her to see that Xiao Langyan, covered with the light frost of the night, had just stepped into the house.
He thought Shen Dingzhu was asleep, but when he saw her blinking her beautiful eyes and sitting up from the bed, Xiao Langyan was startled.
His thin eyes subconsciously filled with clouds: "Aren't you asleep?"
Shen Dingzhu hugged the brocade quilt, looked at him with a delicate white face, and said: "Didn't the Emperor want me to leave the door open for you? You slept too much during the day, and you couldn't sleep at night."
Xiao Langyan nodded slowly, and when he walked over, Shen Dingzhu felt that his walking movements were a little stiff.
"I heard from Dr. Cen that you had a nosebleed again at night. Keeping things like this is not the solution. Once you are out of confinement, we will return to Beijing immediately and let the miracle doctor treat you."
He said, sitting on the edge of the bed and holding her hand.
Unexpectedly, Shen Dingzhu smelled the strong smell of medicine at the exact moment he was approaching.
She hesitated and looked at Xiao Langyan for a moment. She did not respond to his words, but couldn't help but ask: "Was the Emperor injured by Huang Yunmeng?"
Xiao Langyan pursed his thin lips, and there was no coldness in his dark eyes, only the suspicion that she was worried.
"I definitely didn't touch her."
Shen Dingzhu held his big palm with her backhand: "What I care about is your body. The emperor shouldn't hide anything from me. Don't forget, it was you who gave Bu Miao's name. You said there can't be any more between us." There is a misunderstanding.”
He was startled.
Yes, they can no longer hide anything from each other, but should be honest with each other.
So, Xiao Langyan sighed: "I lied to you. I didn't go to deal with the memorial at night. Instead, I asked Dr. Cen to treat his legs with acupuncture."
Shen Dingzhu tilted his head slightly, and his black hair fell from his delicate shoulders.
"I have known for a long time that the emperor is treating his leg. Why did you hide this from me?"
As soon as she asked, she realized that the dandelion grass must be gone, and Dr. Cen's treatment would make him suffer some pain.
Afraid of worrying her, Xiao Langyan didn't want to mention it.
He just wanted her to feel that it was so easy to heal from his injury, and that not mentioning it seemed to downplay the existence of the injury.
Her eyes darkened with distress.
Shen Dingzhu knew how painful it was.
She held Xiao Langyan's hand tightly and asked, "Has the old injury recurred?"
Seeing her worry, Xiao Langyan's manic depression all night was swept away.
He stretched his sword eyebrows, raised his big palm, and caressed the side of her face: "I'm fine. It's just that when Huang Yunmeng broke in, I was asleep a little because of the soothing fragrance, and she touched the silver needle on my leg. .”
When he said this, an imperceptible killing intent and coldness flashed across his eyes.
Huang Yunmeng was really too arrogant and bold. She thought he was asleep and wanted to take advantage of the chaos, but Xiao Langyan woke up immediately and grabbed her.
Su Wenhua happened to follow him in, and immediately dragged Huang Yunmeng into a fight.
Shen Dingzhu pulled up Xiao Langyan's trouser legs.
At first he couldn't bear to let her look, so he pressed the back of her hand.
Unexpectedly, Shen Dingzhu glanced at Kurosawa and said quietly: "If you regard me as your wife who shares weal and woe with you, let me see."
Only then did Xiao Langyan let go.
Pulling up his trousers, the wounds on his knees were revealed. The scars were scattered, and the new flesh and blood were different in color from the skin next to them. They were two faint lines of light pink.
Thinking back to what Imperial Physician Cen said, Xiao Langyan needed to be stronger. In addition to the assistance of dandelion grass, he exercised more diligently on weekdays to promote the growth of flesh and blood on his legs.
Therefore, he gets better very quickly, but no matter how fast it is, it still needs a process.
Shen Dingzhu's eyes were red, and Xiao Langyan hugged her immediately.
"It's okay, don't worry. Huang Yunmeng was killed on the spot. Lei Hong neglected his duties and was also locked up."
Shen Dingzhu put her slender hand on his chest, her eyes red: "Don't hide from me in treating the injury from now on. When you treat the leg, stay with me and I will watch personally."
Xiao Langyan raised his eyebrows: "You will be scared if you see it."
"I won't," Shen Dingzhu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and raised his pink and white face, "As a couple, we have to face everything together no matter what."
After hearing this, Xiao Langyan lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and replied in a deep and serious voice: "Okay."
He didn't want her to be on edge, so even though Xiao Langyan was an extremely powerful emperor, he was still willing to let her see his most vulnerable moments.
