next day
When the sunlight shone into the hall, Xiao Qingyue's bony fingers moved...
Last night's experience was like a nightmare.
He opened his eyes and found himself lying on the couch with his upper body naked. A strong smell of medicine lingered in the air.
Looking around, the blood on the gauze curtain and the ground reminded me that everything that happened last night was real.
The hall was empty.
His voice was hoarse and he was really thirsty. He wanted to go to the table to get a glass of water, but he just supported himself on the couch with his hands, then lay back down in pain.
He frowned in pain, and the wound seemed to have split open.
Just then, the door opened from the outside.
Facing the light, he saw what seemed to be a woman coming in surrounded by a crowd of people.
Before I fainted, I seemed to...see Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. The medicine on my body should also be the work of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.
The person at the door entered, followed by a group of young eunuchs.
When Xiao Qingyue saw the person coming, she was startled and her face showed fear.
It was actually Nangong Liuying!
Nangong Liuying entered the hall, her hands behind her back, looking very leisurely. She glanced at the person on the couch, turned her head and said to her personal eunuch, "Everyone go out, let Zhuqing come in and serve."
The eunuchs said: "Yes."
Zhuqing entered and the door was closed.
Seeing the person on the couch, Zhu Qing rushed over and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Master! Master!"
Throwing himself down beside the couch, Zhu Qing looked at the dense, deep scars all over his master's back. Although he was a man, his tears flowed like a dam. "Master, it's my fault for not protecting you well..."
Xiao Qingyue looked at Zhu Qing. There were dark circles under his eyes, probably because he hadn't slept all night. He was still wearing the same clothes, but they were covered with dust, which meant he must have suffered some injustice.
At this moment, Nangong Liuying walked over and stood in front of the table.
Zhu Qing glanced at her sideways, and suddenly his eyes became fierce. He took out a short blade from his arms, his eyes bloodshot, and stabbed towards Nangong Liuying with the knife.
Seeing him suddenly use this move, Feng Zhaoyun was startled, then took a step back and dodged his attack sideways.
Seeing her dodge, Zhu Qing went crazy and stabbed at her again with the knife, "You dog emperor! I swear to kill you today!"
Just as he was about to rush over and get closer, Jiuyi suddenly appeared from nowhere and kicked him away.
The kick was so powerful that Zhu Qing took several steps back.
Seeing Jiuyi protecting her, Zhuqing stood up and said, "You actually helped this dog emperor!"
Only then did Feng Zhaoyun speak, "Zhu Qing, it's me."
Hearing this voice, Zhu Qing was stunned...
Xiao Qingyue on the couch was also stunned.
Feng Zhaoyun took a few steps forward and walked to the edge of the couch. Seeing the blood oozing from his back, she frowned, rolled up her bright yellow sleeves, took the ointment from the table, and sat down beside the couch. "Qingyue, don't move anymore. You should rest here well today."
Feng Zhaoyun was applying ointment on him, blowing gently on it out of fear that it would hurt him.
Xiao Qingyue only felt itchy and the pain was unbearable. After applying the ointment, she felt cool and the pain was gone.
After knowing that this was Her Highness, and seeing how attentively she took care of him personally, his ears suddenly turned red...
Xiao Qingyue, "Your Highness...why are you here?"
Zhu Qing also stood up at this time, knelt down in front of Feng Zhaoyun, and kowtowed to him, "Your Highness, please forgive me."
Feng Zhaoyun pressed against Nangong Liuying's face, "Get up."
Feng Zhaoyun had just finished applying the medicine and handed the medicine bowl to Jiuyi. He half-knelt forward and held Xiao Qingyue's hand. "Qingyue, it's my fault. I was late last night. I made you...suffer."
Xiao Qingyue looked at Nangong Liuying's face and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. To be honest, he was afraid...
He turned back, no longer looking at this face, but spoke in a gentle tone, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving me."
Zhu Qing, "Your Highness, where did Nangong Liuying go?"
Feng Zhaoyun said, "My men took him away last night. You stay here to take care of your master. Don't worry about anything else. I have ordered my secret guards to protect this place. If anything happens, you can ask them to come find me."
Zhu Qing knelt down and clasped his fists, "Thank you, Your Highness."
After saying this, Feng Zhaoyun stood up and said, "Qingyue, you should have a good rest. I will come to pick you up after I finish."
Hearing that she was about to leave, Xiao Qingyue quickly turned around and said anxiously, "Your Highness!... Be careful."
Feng Zhaoyun nodded, and Jiuyi disappeared into the darkness. He then opened the door and said in a slightly louder voice, "Serve my beloved well. If anything happens, I will kill you!"
The servants outside the hall knelt on the ground.
Not long after, it became quiet.
It must be the empress, she's gone...
Zhu Qing didn't allow anyone to enter, closed the door, and poured a glass of water for his master.
Xiao Qingyue, "Zhu Qing, what happened last night?"
Zhu Qing said, "Master, I was outside last night when suddenly there was no sound in the palace. When the leading eunuch entered, he was scolded by Nangong Liuying and then I was taken away."
After hearing this, Xiao Qingyue half closed her eyes and sighed.
It must be because Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess risked her life to save herself, so she had to disguise herself as Nangong Liuying.
Thinking of something, Xiao Qingyue felt a little disappointed, "Now my body has become like this, I really don't have the face to serve His Highness anymore..."
Zhu Qing comforted him, "Master, you should rest well and your body will recover."
Xiao Qingyue sighed and nodded...
..........
After leaving Chaohua Palace, Feng Zhaoyun went to the imperial study.
The eunuchs who followed him were all stunned when they heard that His Majesty was going to the Imperial Study. His Majesty never went there, so why was he...
Arriving at the Imperial Study, Feng Zhaoyun said, "Go and invite His Highness Luoxia."
The leading eunuch was slightly stunned, then bowed and said, "Yes, I will go right away."
After leaving the imperial study, he rolled his eyes and said, "You, go and ask Nangong Luoxia to come here. His Majesty has summoned you."
After the young eunuch left, he called another person and whispered something into his ear. The young eunuch was startled, nodded, and left quickly.
Feng Zhaoyun was in the imperial study, looking through the dusty memorials on the table, many of which had not been reviewed.
She sighed. She didn't expect Nangong Liuying to be so stupid. She believed that the people of Yue Kingdom must have a very hard time surviving this year.
There is a thick pile of memorials from various places requesting disaster relief, and none of them have been touched.
Suddenly, the eunuch supervisor came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Ye requests an audience."
Before he could finish his words, Ye Xiangguo and Ye Pianpian came in with a swagger, looking disrespectful.
Seeing the Empress, Prime Minister Ye was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. After hesitating, he bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty."
Ye Pianpian was startled by her mother's actions, but she also followed suit and saluted, "Your Majesty."
Feng Zhaoyun chuckled. It turned out that Nangong Liuying had hidden them in the palace! No wonder his men hadn't found them.
Feng Zhaoyun said, "Stand up."
Prime Minister Ye said, "Your Majesty! I heard that you almost beat Xiao Qingyue to death last night?"
Seeing her smiling face, Feng Zhaoyun curled his lips slightly, "Of course."
Prime Minister Ye said, "Your Majesty, if you are not happy with this, I would like to ask for your mercy and give this man to me."
Feng Zhaoyun couldn't help but throw the memorial in his hand at Ye Xiang, "How dare you!"
After being hit on the forehead by the memorial, Prime Minister Ye bent down to pick it up, opened it and took a look, then suddenly leaned back and smiled.
Prime Minister Ye stared directly at Feng Zhaoyun and pointed his finger at her. "You bold thief! How dare you impersonate His Majesty! You're courting death!"
Ye Pianpian no longer had that humble attitude, and instantly became more confident and straightened her back.
Feng Zhaoyun smiled, knowing that he had been exposed, but he remained calm, "Prime Minister Ye, why do you say that?"
Prime Minister Ye held up the memorial and said, "His Majesty never reads memorials, nor does he summon us to discuss matters here. You thief! Get down here now! Hand over His Majesty!"
At this time, a large number of guards rushed in from outside the palace, holding knives in their hands, and surrounded Feng Zhaoyun.
Jiuyi suddenly broke in through the window and protected Feng Zhaoyun.
Seeing Jiuyi's figure, Ye Pianpian hurriedly tugged at the corner of Ye's clothes, "Mother! This is the guard of the Princess of Shang, who has been following that bitch A Zi!"
Prime Minister Ye smiled complacently. All the people outside the door were her men. She had been hiding in the palace. The people in the palace had been replaced by theirs as early as when Nangong Liuying usurped the throne.
If Nangong Liuying's personal eunuch hadn't come to inform them, they still wouldn't have believed that someone dared to impersonate the empress here.
Prime Minister Ye, "Tell me! Where is His Majesty?!"
Feng Zhaoyun stepped forward and said, "You bastard, I am your Majesty!"
Ye Xiangguo was a little angry, "Thief! I will peel off your skin!"
Then he waved his hand, signaling to take them down.
As soon as the guards rushed forward, they were all swept away by Jiuyiyi's sword.
Feng Zhaoyun stood up and said, "Ye, I didn't expect you to hide in this palace. Today is the day you die!"
Ye Pianpian listened to her voice and hurriedly said, "She is that bitch A Zi! Mother! Kill her!"
Ye laughed sinisterly, "Hahaha... Is it my death or yours? Now your Second Prince has already returned with the people of Shang Kingdom. In Yue Kingdom, besides this guard, who else can protect you?"
"You've got your eye on Xiao Qingyue, and you pretended to be His Majesty last night to save him. Hahahaha... How ridiculous! I might as well tell you, once you've cured His Majesty, you'll be of no use to him. His Majesty promised to hand you over to us!"
Ye Pianpian, "Mother, stop talking nonsense with them, order someone to kill them!"
At this moment, the eunuch in charge of Nangong Liuying came in, "Prime Minister Ye, Nangong Luoxia is here."
Hearing this person, Ye was a little disgusted. "What is this coward doing here? Get her out!"
