C19 It Is Not Easy to Live by Acting
Qin Buzhou was in the imperial study reading through the imperial reports when he suddenly received a report from a hidden guard who was staring at the Tantai Hall and said that King Qi had entered the Tantai Hall.
He thought that he had finally revealed his fox tail, so he hurried to the Tantai Hall.
"The emperor has arrived!" The voice of Eldest Young Master Yuan could be heard from outside the Tantai Pavilion.
Prince Qi had been hiding from the guards when he had entered. He had originally wanted to use the smell of alcohol to speak to him, but he had been caught off guard by the fact that he would be able to speak to him in just a short period of time.
He could only pretend to be drunk.
"Greetings, your majesty!"
"How dare you, King Qi? This is the imperial harem. How can you barge in!" Yuan Bao cursed.
"What harem?" "Beautiful girl, why did you avoid me today? Do you dislike This King for not having returned home for a long time?"
"Your Majesty …" Your Majesty, why are you here too? " He asked in confusion.
"Servants! King Qi is drunk! Send someone to send him back! When he wakes up tomorrow, he'll go to the justice courts and collect twenty tablets so he can remember better. Don't be so drunk in the future and wander around!"
Seeing that Xie Zhi was only a few steps away from King Qi, it did not seem like the two of them were whispering to each other. Since he did not manage to catch any evidence, he could not just casually deal with the two of them.
After King Qi left, Ning Xiaoyao's heart finally relaxed. Jiu Ming and An Jian followed him out.
The emperor stared coldly at Xie Zhi the entire time. Xie Zhi didn't know what was going on with him. Perhaps a man was jealous when he saw the woman he loved actually living in the same room with another man?
However, looking at how the emperor barged in just now as if he wanted to eat them, it seemed that he wasn't a man who only loved beauties and didn't love mountains or rivers.
She hesitated before speaking. "Your Majesty, why have you come?"
"Do you mean that we should not come?" Qin Wenzhou let out a cold snort.
"No, no, how could chenqie mean that? This concubine needs to thank the emperor for coming in time. If not, I don't know how long this prince will have to linger on for. " She went up to fawn on him.
"If I hadn't come, wouldn't you have called for help?" Qin Buzhou looked at her and walked towards the table before sitting down.
She was shocked. That amorous letter was left on the table. If the emperor saw it, then even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn't be able to wash it away.
"Even if the emperor didn't count the time just now, the imperial guards would have arrived soon." Sou Sou had just finished speaking when Duke Yuan Bao said that the imperial guards had heard of an assassin who had rushed over and was now waiting outside the hall.
"Let them leave!" The Emperor ordered.
"Your Majesty, chenqie saw a drunken man suddenly barge in just now. I was truly frightened to death. Many thanks to your majesty …"
She looked tenderly at the emperor. The outer garment she was wearing had fallen off halfway just in time, and she saw that it was just the right time for spring.
"Your Majesty …" Sou Sou purposely spoke coquettishly to the emperor.
Qin Buzhou looked at her bashful appearance under the light, appearing exceptionally charming.
He involuntarily hugged his silky waist and was about to kiss it.
"Your Majesty …" At first, Su Sou only wanted to frighten the emperor away, but she didn't expect that she didn't have enough control over the situation, and instead wanted to seduce the emperor.
Seeing that Qin Buzhou was about to finish her off completely, she panicked. However, with this kind of situation, if she didn't stop now, she definitely couldn't afford to lose her composure first.
Sou Sou took the initiative to pounce over and kiss Qin Wenzhou. Qin Wenzhou began to look at her cute appearance and a little infatuated with her. Suddenly, with her big movements, Qin Wenzhou finally woke up.
He was here to kidnap the traitor, not to favor this woman in front of him!
Qin Buzhou stood up in panic and left the Tantai Hall without looking back.
Ye Ci let out a deep sigh of relief. She had almost died!
She looked at the letter and set it on the coals.
She clearly hadn't done anything, yet she felt guilty as if she had become a thief. If it wasn't for that affectionate prince writing such a letter, he wouldn't have needed to go seduce the emperor with a thick skin.
How embarrassing!
When An Jian came in and saw that Xie Zhi had burned the letter, he was in a bad mood, but he couldn't show it.
"Since when did a noble become so unromantic? The emperor hurried over to help you out of your predicament, why did you let the emperor leave in a huff instead?"
"Was he angry when he left?" Ye Zichen asked with a guilty conscience.
"Isn't that so? The entire harem thought that your honored guest was your favorite, but today, the emperor actually stormed out of here. I'm afraid tomorrow's matter will spread around the harem." Jiu Ming said worriedly.
"Forget it, forget it. The emperor might be angry because the palace guards aren't very strict, right? I swear, I never made him angry!" She couldn't help but ask how she knew that man was a good dragon like Ye Gongzi. She thought he really liked Xie Zhi the way she said he was.
The emperor angrily returned to the imperial study. Right now, he was extremely angry, so much so that he couldn't even look at the imperial reports.
After a moment, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
If Duke Yuan Bao didn't know what was going on with the emperor, he would have just gone out and returned. It was as if he had turned into a different person.
Logically speaking, it wasn't an unforgivable sin for King Qi to accidentally barge into the harem after getting drunk. Perhaps the emperor was so angry over this matter?
He carefully served her, but he knew that tonight would not be easy.
"Origin treasure!" What kind of ink was this! Who studied this Mo? " After Yuanbao heard Qin Wenzhou's voice, he hurriedly hurried over. Before he even entered the door, he heard the sound of things being thrown.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This servant will call for someone to grind them again." The voice of the ingot had been lowered to its lightest, afraid that he would not know where he had gone wrong and would be so hot that Qin Wenzhou would fly into a rage.
Late at night.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. May I ask which palace Your Majesty is going to sleep in today?"
Qin Wenzhou slapped the imperial edict in his hand, "There are so many things that we have to deal with today, what's the point of sleeping peacefully?"
"Yes."
Normally, the ingot would have told the emperor that even if he was busy, he should still pay attention to his body and rest. However, looking at the emperor's ashen face today, he didn't dare to say a word.
The royal kitchen finally quieted down, he carefully thought about what happened tonight, and didn't know why he suddenly got so angry.
He himself couldn't figure out whether it was because he went to the Tantai Hall and didn't find any evidence of King Qi colluding with Xie Zhi, or because the woman was too close to the other man.
However, on the way back from the Tantai Hall, he felt infuriated. He didn't like to look at anything at all.
It seemed that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. He tried his best to calm the raging anger in his heart. Looking at the numerous reports in front of him, he slowly calmed down.
