"Your Majesty..." Gong E said as she noticed the look Liu Wan was looking at her. She immediately patted her mouth and said softly: "I made a mistake, Madam..." Liu Wan then turned back and looked at her. The self in the bronze mirror opposite said calmly: "You can ask whatever you want, but this is in front of me. If you still talk like this in front of outsiders, even I can't save you."
"Yes, I know my mistake." Gong E responded, and then said: "I just want to say that the officials have not come to the palace for the past two days. Could it be that... Madam is tired of it?" Liu Wan chuckled. "You are the king of a country, just like you, a little palace concubine. You have nothing to do all day long and you still have time to listen to the gossips of those palace servants and chamberlains?" Gong E shook her head and said, "Of course I know that the official family is busy with government affairs. , but usually the official family has never been here for such a long time, not to mention no matter how busy it is, it would be good if it was just for a meeting or to send a message." He knew that she was doing it for him.
"Ming Bu Ping", Liu Wan did not blame her for speaking inappropriately, and hearing her say this, she felt a little confused.
Although she has no intention of competing with the concubines in the harem for favor, she is in it, especially when she is still in such a special status, being favored but has no status, no matter how much she trusts Zhao Heng, her relationship with him is no longer Deep, but it is inevitable to have doubts.
Although Zhao Heng said that after the battle between Song and Liao was over, he would give her an explanation and accept her as his concubine. At that time, he could find an excuse to celebrate, but the timing was not right at this time.
Judging from the current situation, this day should not be too far away. After all, the Liao Kingdom is in chaos and the Liao army has withdrawn. Now the Song Dynasty has to consider how to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
But if it doesn't happen for a day, then it's just a verbal promise. Who knows when it will change. What's more, there is still a secret hidden in Liu Wan's heart that has always stuck in her throat.
Although it was in the past, she was not sure whether Zhao Heng would mind, let alone whether the ministers would care. What would the people think of her when they knew about it?
"Hey..." Liu Wan sighed quietly in her heart, and suddenly heard a surprise call from outside. When she turned around, she saw that Gong E beside her was also looking happy.
"The officials are here!" Liu Wan did not dare to hesitate any longer, quickly put on her makeup, and asked Gong'e to help her put on her headdress. Then she walked out of the palace to greet him.
However, Zhao Heng has already walked in. This palace is located in a remote location and is a bit small. This is also because Liu Wan is now just a
The identity of "Madam" is floating in the palace, and she has not yet been given a clear title. Her position is very embarrassing and she cannot exceed the rules.
"I have met the official family..."
"Why should we be so polite between you and me?" With that said, he came forward and took hold of Liu Wan's side, and then dragged her in.
Zhao Heng seemed a little proactive today, which made Liu Wan feel a little uncomfortable. However, after being idle for many days, Liu Wan's psychological and physical needs were overflowing.
In fact, she still felt that Zhao Heng looked different, but she couldn't tell what was wrong at the moment. It seemed that the body was wrong, the size was wrong, the strength was wrong, the time was wrong... nothing was right.
But he was still the same person, his face was still the same, his words, smiles, and gentleness afterward were no different, and he even treated her more gently.
Liu Wan unconsciously indulged in his arms and fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up the next day, the person beside her pillow was gone.
Liu Wan got up and called the palace ladies, only to find out that the emperor had left before dawn and told them not to disturb her.
"Madam, I'll help you change your clothes!" Seeing Liu Wan's luck again, Gong E suddenly became happy and completely forgot about her previous complaints.
Liu Wan didn't say anything and let her help her get dressed. She sat in front of the dressing table again, feeling sorry for herself and sighing silently.
Gong E couldn't help but wonder: "Madam, why are you unhappy when the official family comes here?"
"Happy, why aren't you happy?" Liu Wan said, thinking of some of the situations last night, her cheeks suddenly flew up.
It's just that some things seem to feel more and more wrong the more I think about them. I didn't have time to think about them in detail at the time, and I didn't have the energy to think about them at all. Now that I have calmed down, I can notice many details that I had easily overlooked.
But how can you tell Gong E about this kind of thing? What's more, if it's true... no, the officials must have used some kind of tiger-wolf medicine, or the Imperial City Department collected some erotic pictures for him and asked him to learn and use them?
At this time, women will also lie to themselves. After Liu Wan came up with various reasons to convince herself, she temporarily put the matter aside and stopped thinking about it.
However, two days later, the emperor came again. This time Liu Wan was finally able to completely and intuitively compare the differences between the two feelings, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.
Less than half a month later, Liu Wan became unable to sleep or eat well during this period. She was filled with surprises, doubts and distress, but she didn't know who to talk to.
Of course, it can't be done to the emperor. If the secret from the early years is told, the most it will do is to lose points in his mind. But if it is true now, it is completely different.
The same goes for the palace maids and chamberlains around him. Even if they could keep it a secret, Liu Wan would not be able to tell them such a thing.
But if she wants to investigate, she must let people know about it, which leads to a paradox. At this moment, someone came into her sight. It was Li Yong, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, and Li Junming. He was originally a commoner in Qiantang County. He came into the emperor's eyes because of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and his clever tips, and was later reused. , sent him to the northwest to assassinate Li Jiqian.
Unexpectedly, this boy actually caused a stir in the northwest, and when the emperor suspected that he had ulterior motives, he responded to the imperial edict and returned to the capital without hesitation.
Although the title has not been promoted now, there is really no promotion within the Imperial City Department. After all, the Imperial City Secretary can only be held by the emperor's chamberlain, so as to ensure that the emperor can control this team at any time.
At the same time, Liu Wan also discovered that the emperor had assigned Li Yong a task, which was to go to Qiantang to investigate about a singing girl.
Isn't that... Liu Wan made a decisive decision and sent people to start secret contact with Li Yong. Fortunately, she still had people available. Gong'e and the chamberlain were all of the same mind as her, and she didn't want to let them know too much. She found a reason to let them do as they were told. That's it.
Until today, Li Yong finally appeared in front of her.
"I wonder what Madam is looking for here?" Liu Wan had already made a decision in her heart. She wanted to kill two birds with one stone once and for all, so the best way was to take Li Yong into her own hands.
And how to convince him, of course, it cannot be based on beauty. Through Zhao Heng, she knew that this man was loyal and available, but he was loyal to the Song Dynasty and the emperor, not to her, a woman who didn't even have a place in the harem.
However, she was not unable to take advantage of this loyalty. Because of her status, she could pull off a tiger skin as a banner, so she told the emperor that Zhao Heng had noticed that Xiaoxiao had sneaked into the palace and conspired to assassinate the emperor, so he asked her to come. Find Li Yong and work together to track down that little person.
It was not convenient for too many people to know about this matter, so he could not tell anyone. If he had any news, he could only contact her, and she would tell the emperor when the results were available.
To be honest, such words are full of errors and omissions, and it is not easy to win people's trust. But what Liu Wan took advantage of was an information gap. With Zhao Heng's love for her, she was quite special in the palace. I believe Li Yong had heard about this, and he would not confront the emperor about it. This is where she can take advantage.
But of course she didn't know that Li Yong bowed his head and obeyed the order after much hesitation, with a strange smile on his lips.
