Chapter 766: Five Kinds of Vegetables for the Deposed Empress in the Cold Palace (5)

The candle flame popped and sparkled, causing Song Yuesheng to look surprised.

She looked at him for a while and said with certainty: "You know you recognized the wrong person, so you want to make up for your past mistakes."

Wen Yu's breathing stagnated.

Outside the window came the crisp sound of snow breaking dead branches.

He suddenly remembered that snowy night many years ago when she was able to move freely in the palace at such a young age, perhaps because of her cleverness.

Wen Yu clenched his hands, then suddenly loosened them without making any excuses for himself.

"Yes."

"Forget everything others have said about you." His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, "Just like... you recognized me just now."

The scene that suddenly appeared in her memory these two days was the same look in his eyes when he advised her to put away her sympathy.

"Then your majesty must be careful." Song Yuesheng suddenly raised the corners of his lips, "The me I know again may not be what you want."

Wen Yu's eyes suddenly darkened, and he raised his hand and banged on the door panel beside her ear.

The sandalwood trembled, shaking off a wisp of floating dust.

The ambergris mixed with the lingering chill invaded him. He leaned forward and spoke in a low, hoarse voice:

"You speak to Prince Yi like this as well?"

Song Yuesheng neither retreated nor avoided, and her fingertips gently fiddled with the tassels of the jade pendant on his waist.

"No. From the two or three times we've met, he's more unruly than me." She paused, smiling, "It's interesting to say that I only thought of you brothers after I had a fever these past two days."

Wen Yu suddenly raised his hand and touched her cheek with his cool fingertips.

This action should have been gentle, but his thumb rolled heavily over the corner of her lips, as if wiping away some dirt.

"Ah Heng."

His voice suddenly became as cold as ice.

"I can indulge you in anything—"

His knuckles slid to her neck and lightly clasped her slender neck. "Just one thing. If I find out that you have an affair with someone else..."

Song Yuesheng raised her eyelashes slightly: "How?"

"Lingchi execution."

As he uttered these four words from his thin lips, his fingertips gently pressed on Song Yuesheng's pulse.

"And you..."

Wen Yu suddenly leaned close to her ear, his breath was incredibly hot, "I will order someone to make a gold chain inlaid with oriental pearls, and lock you beside the dragon bed day and night, so that you can't even see the moonlight outside the window."

He didn't know how scared she would be.

But if I don't tell her, this audacious woman might even dare to drink and chat with Prince Yi tomorrow.

His situation with Prince Yi...

The doctor said it might be the work of two souls in one body.

But there has been no successful treatment method for so many years.

Song Yuesheng said "Oh" and pushed him away: "Can we continue eating now? The food is getting cold."

Wen Yu was stunned: "Aren't you afraid?"

"When you find out that I'm having an affair, it won't be too late to get scared."

Song Yuesheng straightened his wrinkled collar, and when he looked up, there was a hint of teasing in his eyes, "I am honest now, what is there to be afraid of?"

She had no emotional connection with the other male protagonists.

If I have to pick one, it would be his alternate personality Wen Yu.

When they were leaving, Song Yuesheng noticed that he was in a daze, so she added, "Zhenshu and the others are afraid of the emperor. If Your Majesty wants to go with them, please disguise yourself as Prince Yi."

Wen Yu did not follow after all, but left Canwu Palace.

It's funny to say that.

He was actually a little afraid to hear from them about her and Prince Yi's relationship.

Even if I was angry, I couldn't find a way to kill him.

but……

Wen Yu stopped and looked back at Canwu Palace.

The cold palace is remote and few people pass by. She can no longer live here.

**

The morning light in Canwu Palace always comes late.

Song Yuesheng had just finished washing and dressing, and Zhiqi was tying her hair for her when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the hall.

"Miss!"

Zhenshu ran in in a panic, "Eunuch Pingxi is here with the imperial edict!"

The jade hairpin in Song Yuesheng's hand paused.

We recognized each other last night and the decree was issued today.

Wen Yu's movements were much faster than she had expected.

"Change clothes and receive the order."

As she knelt on the cold stone slabs of the Canwu Palace, the rising sun just happened to pass over the palace wall.

Pingxi unfolded the bright yellow imperial edict, and the gilded cloud patterns shone brightly in the morning light:

"The Emperor of the Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven proclaims: Song Yuesheng is virtuous, prudent, diligent and docile. She is hereby canonized as Consort Heng and granted the residence of Qiwu Palace. The palace ladies of Canwu Palace, who have served the master with merit, will all be moved to serve him. I decree this."

Song Yuesheng lowered his eyes and caught a glimpse of the handwriting on the imperial edict when he took it with both hands.

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Concubine Heng?

Wen Yu is a good blocker.

But he never thought about whether it would be harmful to him as the master personality if Wen Yu knew.

She couldn't bear Wen Yu's concern for her.

Ugh.

There's trouble again.

Pingxi smiled and gave her a false helping hand, lowering his voice and saying, "His Majesty specifically instructed that Qiwu Palace is the Empress's former residence, and all furnishings should be arranged according to the Empress's former preferences."

He glanced around with the corner of his eyes, and said meaningfully, "As for the throne... since ancient times, it has always been your majesty who decided the residence of the queen. Your Majesty, please live there with peace of mind."

Having said that…

But His Majesty ordered the palace maids to clean up the Qiwu Palace overnight and personally drafted the title. It was only a matter of time before the Queen was restored to the throne.

"My Lady Concubine Heng, the sedan chair is waiting at the palace gate. If you don't want to take anything with you, please leave with me."

Song Yuesheng said, "Please wait a little longer, eunuch. I have a lot of things to take away."

Pingxi understood and quickly beckoned to the eunuchs, "Be careful, these are Concubine Heng's things. If you damage them in the slightest, you will be in trouble!"

"Yes."

The Canwu Palace suddenly became busy.

Zhenshu packed up the clothes that could be taken away.

Zhiqi was packing the dried herbs into brocade bags, each package was tied with a silk string of a different color.

Eunuch Wu hunched over and wrapped the mint and mud grown in a broken pottery jar into silk cloth.

Song Yuesheng was kneeling in the snow, carefully digging up the soil with a shovel.

Only after every seedling was neatly placed in a bamboo basket padded with hay and she had repeatedly told the eunuchs to handle it carefully did she stand up and brush off the snow on her skirt.

The chief eunuch Pingxi went to the cold palace to announce the decree early in the morning.

And an hour later, there was a new Concubine Heng who moved into Qiwu Palace.

The news quickly spread throughout the palace.

It doesn't take much to tell who this newly appointed Concubine Heng is.

The Queen Mother listened to Aunt Dan's report and turned her Buddhist beads with a puzzled look on her face.

"Dan'er, what do you think the emperor means by this? He deposed the queen and banished her to the cold palace for more than two months. Now she is named Concubine Heng and even lives in the old residence? I can't tell whether he cares about Concubine Heng or not."

Aunt Dan poured the ginseng tea carefully and said, "The Queen Mother doesn't know, and I don't know even more. I guess Concubine Heng must have used some tricks."

"Snapped!"

The tea lid knocked heavily on the cup.

"What is Yingna Xue doing these days?"

The Queen Mother suddenly sneered, "I am just hiding from the limelight for a while, but she is hiding in Zhuoying Palace like a quail?"

"Dan'er, go tell her that the loss of a few palace maids in the Imperial Ancestral Temple is nothing. If she continues to be so indecisive, the one in Qiwu Palace should take over the Phoenix Seal again!"

Even though the Song army was far away at the border, half of the generals in the court were still on life-and-death basis with him.

When she deposed the queen two months ago, she had deliberately won over those ministers with the excuse of "finding out the truth and clearing the name of the deposed queen"...

The surface of the tea soup reflected the Queen Mother's suddenly distorted face.

Now that Concubine Heng has returned to Qiwu Palace, the plots of the past few days... even the ongoing rumors among the people of Jiangnan that "crows are the culprit" will be known to the emperor...

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother spoke up to stop Aunt Dan.

"Dan'er, you must remind Yingxue and let her recognize the current situation."

Aunt Dan responded respectfully, "Yes."
