Chapter 280 Roommate
Prince Guo, who received A Jin's hint, gave urgent instructions.
"We'll discuss other matters later. Let's focus on dealing with the current dilemma first."
"Whatever I say next, don't argue."
As he spoke, he quickly pulled up the quilt and gently covered Zhen Huan's head.
Just as Prince Guo tucked in the quilt, a ray of light shone through the thick curtains, accompanied by the emperor's joking voice.
"Seventeenth brother, if you don't get up now, the breakfast will get cold."
"Brother Emperor, please wait in the main hall. I will be there immediately."
Prince Guo, with cold sweat on his forehead, spoke out anxiously to stop him.
Such a panicked voice aroused the emperor's interest, and he pulled open all the curtains in a flash.
The extra bulge on the bed instantly attracted the emperor's attention. As an experienced person, he smiled and joked.
"Seventeenth brother, you told me yesterday that you didn't have anyone you liked, and today you're hiding a beautiful girl under a brocade blanket."
"You are deceiving the king!"
When Prince Guo saw the emperor's expression change, he stood up hurriedly.
"Please listen to my explanation..."
Zhen Huan, who was hiding under the quilt, was so frightened that she lost her soul.
If the unpredictable emperor gets angry and insists on questioning Prince Guo about his crime, then she is very likely to be exposed.
When Zhen Huan thought of the unbearable consequences after the incident, she was so anxious that her whole body began to tremble.
The emperor had good eyesight and did not miss the slight trembling under the quilt.
He patted Prince Guo's shoulder with his broad palm and said, "Seventeenth Brother, I understand you. It's good to have someone funny around you."
"Get up quickly. I'm waiting for you to have breakfast."
When the emperor turned around, he caught a glimpse of Su Yi on the chair, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Seventeenth Brother, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a nun's winter outfit, right? How could it appear here?"
"Could it be that there's a little nun from some temple hiding in your bed?"
Prince Guo thought for a moment and quickly explained.
"My Royal Highness, this is because Mother Shu saw that I was wandering around all day and was worried that I had no one to serve me, so she sent a lay disciple to take care of me, as I was helpless and alone."
"My brother has been ill for a long time and always feels cold when he goes to sleep at night. This kind-hearted girl insists on warming my bed."
"My dear brother..."
Compared with the empress dowager who never treated him well, Concubine Shu really loved Yunli very much.
The emperor was also worried about his younger brother's marriage, so he gave him earnest advice.
"Seventeenth brother, you must not let down Concubine Shu's deep love for you."
"Since this girl is devoted to you, why don't you take her in as your room?"
"I think her family background is a bit low, how about she become a concubine first?"
Yun Li gave a helpless smile, "Since my royal brother has said so, I have no choice but to obey."
"But I have a throat disease and cannot speak."
"This humble servant expresses her gratitude to the Emperor on her behalf."
The emperor waved his hand and threw the clothes on the chair into Prince Guo's arms.
"How can a royal family member express gratitude for a concubine? If this gets out, those idle censors will definitely report you severely."
"You are already ill. Hurry up and get dressed. I am waiting for you to have breakfast."
The emperor took a few steps outside, curiosity getting the better of him.
"Seventeenth brother, as far as I know, this should be your first woman, right?"
"It is inconvenient for Concubine Shu to come here. As the elder, my royal brother can only accept her greeting."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan, who was hiding under the quilt, suddenly felt dizzy and passed out.
After Yunli thanked him, he didn't have time to talk to the person on the bed. He quickly washed up with the help of Ajin.
After he sent the emperor away after lunch, he realized that the person on the bed was no longer moving.
"Ah Jin, the mute concubine has been infected with the disease by the prince, you should quickly go and call the palace doctor."
Prince Guo felt that this was not safe, so he hired someone to change Zhen Huan's appearance.
Except for her eyes, her appearance was no longer the same as before.
About a quarter of an hour later, before Ah Jin even entered the room, he reported loudly.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor heard that the mute concubine was unwell, so he sent the imperial physician Zhang to see her."
"Doctor Zhang, thank you for your help. Please come in."
Prince Guo greeted his fellow comrades politely.
Zhang Wuwei is one of the imperial physicians trusted by the emperor. Unexpectedly, he brought him along on this trip.
He had spies in the palace and knew that Zhang Wuwei had been to Suiyuxuan to see Zhen Huan.
I just hope Zhang Wuwei doesn’t detect anything from my pulse.
Prince Guo was still afraid that Zhen Huan would wake up during the pulse diagnosis, and he didn't feel relieved until he sent Zhang Wuwei away.
Zhen Huan fainted due to excessive fright and will wake up after a short rest.
Zhang Wuwei also specially prescribed a tranquilizer.
Prince Guo stood quietly beside the bed, staring at the pretty little face in a trance.
The emperor defined their relationship himself. I wonder if she will give up on him?
Will your attitude towards him change?
Prince Guo's thoughts raced, and he had already figured out how to keep Zhen Huan.
Noticing the slight movement of Zhen Huan's eyelashes, he grabbed Zhen Huan's hand and shouted excitedly.
"Huan'er, you finally woke up."
Zhen Huan's mind was still confused. She moved back a little, trying to pull back her tightly held hand.
"Your Majesty, why did I..."
Prince Guo pretended to be panicked and said the words he had prepared long ago.
"Huan'er, it was all my fault last night. I knew you were weak, but I still kept talking to you for so long."
"After you fell asleep on the couch, I was afraid you would catch a cold, so I moved you to another place."
"I wanted to spend the night on the couch, but the blanket was too thin to withstand the cold of the night."
"I...I clearly slept on the edge of the bed last night, and I even put a pillow between us."
"I can swear to God that I absolutely did not mean to offend you."
"If you violate this oath, you will not be able to..."
Prince Guo's next words were covered by a slightly cool hand with light calluses.
Zhen Huan quickly withdrew her hand and whispered.
"Your Highness, I trust your character. Please don't take last night's incident to heart."
"Huan'er, I...I'll listen to you."
Prince Guo agreed with difficulty, and then said.
"Huan'er, my brother the Emperor has asked me to take you to see him."
"If you don't want to, I'll find a way to get away with it."
"Your Highness, this matter is caused by me, but I really cannot accompany you to meet the Emperor."
Zhen Huan knew very well that she must not appear in front of the emperor while she was practicing in Ganlu Temple.
Prince Guo knew her concerns and brought the bronze mirror to her.
"Huan'er, I beg your forgiveness for something. I wanted you to meet Longyue, so I ordered someone to change your appearance without asking for permission."
Zhen Huan blinked, and the woman in the bronze mirror did the same.
Knowing her own safety was guaranteed, Zhen Huan breathed a sigh of relief.
She hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to speak.
"Your Majesty, since you are so considerate of me, I cannot make things difficult for you."
"I am willing to follow you to see the emperor."
