"The Gentle Knife is sometimes right. If you have a great job in the world, and you have to give it up, your road will only become more difficult in the future!"
Cheng Ning didn't understand why Wei Yanzhou was so extreme.
He doesn't hesitate to risk his own reputation, but he wants to become a tyrant?
"Sister Ning, are you afraid that I will be scolded by the people, or are you worried that the people will be oppressed too much?"
All.
Cheng Ning is a general, and she understands that those in power cannot always be kind.
But she is a woman, so she cannot take the initiative to attack her own people.
She was lying on the pillow, her black hair spread out, and there was anger and helplessness in her eyes.
Wei Yanzhou understood her thoughts, and scraped the corners of Cheng Ning's eyes with his tender fingertips.
"You also know that it has been suffering for a long time. The fastest way to eradicate it is tyranny. It doesn't matter if you are scolded. I am all ears."
Once he has made a decision, no one can change it.
"I hope you won't regret it one day," Cheng Ning closed his eyes.
Standing on top of the clouds, you are destined to be alone. Wei Yanzhou can take advantage of Xie Nianyao now, but one day, Xie Nianyao will also grow up.
Speaking of Xie Nianyao, Cheng Ning's eyes overflowed with contempt.
Although she went to Yong'an Palace today to take advantage of Xie Nianyao, she still beat Chunhua like that.
Cheng Ning had been imprisoned in the palace for a long time. Everyone regarded him as a skylark with broken wings and thought he could be bullied.
But she must get it back.
Cheng Ning smiled: "It's almost Chinese New Year, right? Can I give His Majesty a gift?"
Dazzled by her smile, Wei Yanzhou lowered his eyes, bit her lips lightly, and said in a deep voice, "What?"
"Your Majesty, just wait."
Her appearance was somewhat familiar to Wei Yanzhou.
When Cheng Ning was young, he was naughty and had this look on his face whenever he got into trouble and made fun of others.
She probably thought she was hiding it well, but in fact her eyes were filled with stars.
Wei Yanzhou calmly raised the corners of his lips, but there was a threat on his lips: "Don't do anything to the queen."
Xie Nianyao was indeed Wei Yanzhou's favorite. She defended him before she even said she was going to take action.
She didn't understand. He was the one who took advantage of Xie Nianyao first, wasn't he?
"Your Majesty protects me so closely. What do you think I will do?"
Wei Yanzhou didn't know what Cheng Ning was going to do, but this man had always been decisive in killing. If he really wanted to deal with Xie Nianyao, he wouldn't be enough for her.
"No." Wei Yanzhou emphasized again.
Xie Nianyao is not a good queen, but she has her own reasons for being placed in the harem.
She thought for a while and then said something else: "Today I offered incense to Concubine Wen."
The hand on his waist clearly tightened.
"I didn't catch up with her funeral. I was supposed to go to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage. I can't get out."
She heard Wei Yanzhou's breathing become heavier.
Is it true that there is no doubt that the accident in the palace and the death of the late emperor are inextricably related to Concubine Wen?
"What do you want to say?" Wei Yanzhou pinched Cheng Ning's chin: "Test me?"
He was so smart that he couldn't hide what Cheng Ning wanted to do.
Looking into his eyes, Cheng Ning asked directly: "Did Concubine Wen die of a sudden illness?"
Wei Yanzhou didn't know what he was thinking of. He was angry and his expression became very strange.
After a long time, Cheng Ning didn't hear the answer.
"Cheng Ning, don't probe me," Wei Yanzhou threatened her: "I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences."
What is he hiding?
Cheng Ning knew that even if he asked, Wei Yanzhou wouldn't say anything.
The conversation broke down, and she turned her back to Wei Yanzhou: "Since you are not allowed to ask or bully, your Majesty, if you don't want to sleep, you can prepare to go to court."
It’s almost daybreak anyway.
But Wei Yanzhou seemed to have made up his mind to confront her today, so he would just go to court today.
Those courtiers also criticized his reforms, and they went there to listen to their chatter.
He simply let Wang Xi finish listening to the narration and not join in the fun.
It can be said to be quite willful.
He stayed in Linhua Palace and slept with Cheng Ning until three o'clock in the morning.
Until Cheng Ning finally couldn't help but push him away: "I should go and say hello! It's too late for the Queen to be in trouble."
She didn't even know that Wei Yanzhou was still lying in bed.
He buried his head in Cheng Ning's arms and sneered: "Don't move!"
If she wants to attack the queen, she can't do it. If the queen wants to reprimand her, she can just let it go.
Cheng Ning laughed angrily: "You can go to the queen's couch and stay in bed."
"Cheng Ning," Wei Yanzhou's voice was full of displeasure: "No concubine would drive the emperor to someone else's bed."
As he spoke, his hand moved across Cheng Ning's waist like a punishment, inducing tremors like a fire.
Cheng Ning's body was still weak and she couldn't bear his pressure at all: "Then you continue to sleep, I want to get up - wait!"
Wei Yanzhou's hand was still moving down, with a sense of collapse.
Cheng Ning surrendered at the right time: "Your Majesty...I, it hurts!"
As she struggled, her knee bumped against Wei Yanzhou's knee, and the place where she had kneeled yesterday hurt terribly.
Wei Yanzhou finally stopped.
His face and eyes were full of dissatisfaction with morning desires. He turned over and got down on the bed, picked up Cheng Ning and took her to wash up.
Breakfast is also served in Linhua Palace.
A table was spread with porridge and side dishes.
Cheng Ning was still angry: "I don't have the good food from Fengluan Palace here. If your majesty is not used to it, why not-"
Before he finished speaking, Wei Yanzhou gave him a sharp look.
Cheng Ning sighed inwardly. She was really exhausted physically and mentally when facing Wei Yanzhou.
Wei Yanzhou's mood changes so quickly that he doesn't know which words he likes to hear and which ones are objectionable to his ears.
She is sick now and really doesn't want to deal with it.
"When can I see my brother and sister-in-law?" Cheng Ning changed the subject: "You agreed."
Only if you agree to the conditions will you be obedient, but you can't be obedient for more than one night.
Wei Yanzhou threw away his chopsticks and darkened his face: "I'll tell you when I'm happy."
After saying that, he left the door of Linhua Palace.
Chunhua sighed: "Empress, it doesn't matter if you just obey His Majesty, I can see that Your Majesty is not ruthless towards you."
Perhaps Wei Yanzhou was more caring and considerate towards the Queen.
But when the empress is punished, doesn’t His Majesty also feel distressed?
The affection that grew up since childhood is still there, otherwise His Majesty would not have let go of the Cheng family's execution postponement, and now he has promised to let his mother-in-law's sister-in-law be spared.
Cheng Ning put down the spoon and lost his appetite.
Concubine Wen, father, late emperor.
She felt as if she was trapped in a weird conspiracy, although she didn't know the truth of the conspiracy.
But there is no way to escape Wei Yanzhou.
Chunhua said it wasn’t heartless?
She indeed felt that Wei Yanzhou's emotions towards her were too weird, but to say that he was affectionate was really far-fetched.
The way Wei Yanzhou looked at her was too complicated.
When Cheng Ning limped to Fengluan Palace, Wei Yanzhou was also drinking tea in Fengluan Palace.
As expected, after leaving Linhua Palace, he came to Fengluan Palace.
Several noble concubines have already arrived, and they are all more cautious because of Wei Yanzhou's presence.
Ouyang Xi happened to look over and hesitated to speak.
