C8 All the subordinates struggle to buy the book of the palace of spring

Finally, the curse left Yin Zhichen, Bai Wei quickly put on her clothes and opened the wardrobe to support the snow lotus.

"Elder sister, don't. My entire body is numb. Please let me catch my breath." The snow lotus cried out bitterly.

The snow lotus sat in Jinhua Palace for about an hour before it recovered. It was already late in the morning, so they should still be in a hurry.

After returning to the Phoenix Maiden Palace, the snow lotus did not follow the previous book of the Spring Palace. Instead, it began to draw the entire process of watching the night from scratch, step by step, thus forming a complete union between a man and a woman.

"Qing`er, what do you think about this painting?" After drawing, the sun had already risen. The snow lotus hastily asked Qing`er to sew them together according to the order.

"Empress, can … can't you just change a man into someone else?" Qing`er's face reddened as she asked.

As the king of an empire, if he became the hero of the Spring Palace's painting, wouldn't that mean that the Emperor was going to kill people?

"I've thought of this before, but I'm really unable to think of it. Furthermore, when I was writing, I naturally drew his ugly appearance." Snow Lotus said as she looked at the painting of Yin Zhichen sitting on top of a woman.

"This servant was just worried that if this painting were to reach the emperor, wouldn't that give the emperor a good reason to expel the Empress from the palace?" Qing`er worriedly asked.

"This, I don't think so. A few commoners have seen the emperor before. Besides, he shouldn't have been looking at this, right?" Snowlotus said confidently.

"What the Empress said is right. This kind of Spring Palace painting is most likely only seen by the common people, and the common people have never seen the Emperor before. They shouldn't be able to recognize it." After hearing the words of the snow lotus, Qing`er's worry was finally lifted.

The snow lotus had just yawned and passed the items to Qing'er, asking her to deliver them to Qin mama.

Although she didn't sleep the whole night, after she went to bed, the Snow Lotus didn't sleep at all. Her mind was filled with the scene of Yin Zhichen and Bai Wei intertwined together last night. Her body felt extremely uncomfortable, as if she was sick.

By the time Qing`er returned in the afternoon, she had not fallen asleep yet.

"Esteemed Empress, your servant has returned." When Qing'er returned to Phoenix Nest Palace, she shouted out in excitement.

Upon hearing Qing`er's voice, the snow lotus slid down from the bed. She was a little worried, afraid that it wouldn't suit Senior Servant Qin.

"Qing`er, how is it?" Did Qin mama say anything? " Xue Lian asked anxiously.

"Esteemed Empress, we've struck gold! Qin mama actually gave us a high price of twelve silver taels, and she said …"

"What else?" Snow Lotus pulled on Qing`er's clothes as she asked.

"She also said that if she buys well, she will give us silver. Lady, we won't have to worry about not having enough money to buy food in the future." Qing`er hugged the snow lotus as the two of them wept tears of joy.

At last, the silver moon of rich empress, snow lotus holding white silver, tears in a string.

"Qing`er, we can finally rely on ourselves." Snow Lotus sobbed.

"Empress, even if we leave the Imperial Palace in the future, we need not worry about starving to death." Qing`er was also crying. For the past month, the two of them had been thinking about whether or not they would starve to death. Now, they no longer had to worry about that.

"Mhm, Qing`er, it's impossible for the Emperor to be in Jinhua Palace every night. We have to go find his concubine, and not only that, we have to keep it a secret." Snow Lotus said worriedly as she wiped her eyes.

"Empress, all of the concubines like the fragrance you've made. As long as we bribe them and add on the Empress's identity, I believe they will definitely agree." Little Qing said with confidence.

Actually, this was just a psychological situation, it was mainly due to the Snow Lotus' identity as a queen. There was a queen who had lost her favour, a concubine who did not want to show off in front of her, and also the perfume and skincare products she concocted, there was only one other place in the world, and as long as it was a woman, there was nothing that she did not like.

Everything was progressing smoothly. Due to the observation of the various palaces, the sleeping time of the snow lotuses had to be adjusted to allow them to rest during the day and work during the night.

But every day after drawing the map, there would be a period of time when she was unable to fall asleep, as if she had contracted some sort of illness. Only when Qing`er returned with the silver and carried it with her did she finally be able to enter the dreamscape with a smile on her face.

It was just that after staying up all night, the snow lotus had obviously lost weight and had dark circles under its eyes. Fortunately, the flower dew that she had made was very useful, so it was not that obvious.

No wonder all the emperors in the world had a short lifespan. So it turns out that they were all planted without restraint, just like him. They all knew why he had been the emperor for so many years, but the harem was never able to come out. It would be weird if they could put in so much effort to produce a dragon seed.

Snow Lotus looked at the box that had accumulated more and more silver. She thought to herself, if I save some more, she'll take the initiative to ask me to leave after some time.

Inside the imperial study, Prince Cheng, Yin Che, was reading a pamphlet with great interest.

"Che, isn't it just a spring book? Is it really that pretty?" Shangguan Ye mocked Yin Che while staring at him.

"Hehe, this isn't an ordinary Spring Palace. This is one that I spent a hundred taels of silver on. This is the only one in the world." Yin Che said proudly.

"Oh god, you've gone mad. A hundred silver taels can last you a night in the brothel. It's much more satisfying than that." Shangguan Ye snorted.

"Hehe, I'm telling you, even if you pay 1,000 silver, I still won't buy you. I'll let you have a look and covet your life." Yin Che placed the booklet in front of Shangguan Ye.

"Ah, this is …" Shangguan Ye opened his mouth wide and reached out his hand to snatch it, but he quickly pulled it back.

"Now you know why it's worth a hundred liang, hehe." Yin Che said proudly.

"Ye, if you pay a thousand taels, I can sell you one." Bu Qingyun said to Shangguan Ye with a smile.

"You have one too?" Shangguan Ye said in surprise.

"Hehe, it's a secret, but it's definitely different from the one that's on Che's hands. My subordinates are the emperor and the imperial concubine." Ken Qingyun said in an extremely ambiguous manner.

"Ah?" Che, what about yours? " Shangguan Ye finally started to salivate.

"Hehe, one hundred silver for a look." Yin Che shamelessly stretched out his hand.

If Snow Lotus had known that her painting of the Spring Palace Book had suddenly soared to such a high price, she would have immediately left in excitement.

"Wait a minute, you guys dragged me here to see you today. It can't be for this, right?" Shangguan Ye finally regained some clarity.

"About this, although it's exciting and beautiful, the men inside are the emperor and imperial concubine, so it's not too good after all." Bu Qingyun said.

"That's true. If the commoners had a copy of the Emperor and his imperial concubine's spring palace, then …"

"That was really fun." Yin Che answered with a smile.

"Che, let me see, which imperial concubine are you talking about?" Shangguan Ye said in his heart as he watched someone waving a booklet in front of his eyes.

"Pay the silver first." Yin Che protected the booklet with one hand and asked for money with the other.

"Ye, I think it's best if you don't. Otherwise, you won't feel inferior." Bu Qingyun looked at the upset Shangguan Ye and said with a smile.

"Inferior? What do I need to feel inferior for?" Shangguan Ye went back to the Cirrus House while snatching up the Book of Spring.

"The Emperor has arrived." The two of them were in the middle of snatching a piece when they heard about the rumours from the little De Zi outside.

"Crap." Yin Che inwardly cursed. He wanted to hide the Spring Palace book, but the emperor had already walked in.

"Che, Ye, you're in the mood to 'flirt' with me in my royal study." Yin Zhi Chen glanced at his younger brother and his beloved subject, who had an extremely ambiguous posture.

"Royal brother, if you want to flirt, I will also look for a beauty. How could it be Sir Shangguan? As the emperor, how listless have he been recently? It seems like he has suffered a bit from the loss of his kidney." Yin Che quickly hid the booklet in his sleeve, causing damage to the emperor's way.

"Cough, Qing Yun, what kind of expression is that?" When the current Yin Zhi Chen entered the royal study, he had a nagging feeling that something was amiss. The three of them did not talk about what they were talking about, and their eyes were even especially ambiguous.

"This subject is just envious of Your Majesty's good figure." Bu Qingyun replied with a smile.

"Chendi is jealous of your majesty." Yin Che said sourly.

"Jealous of what? There's a dragon throne? " Yin Zhichen narrowed his eyes as he looked at his biological brother, who had grown up together with him.

"What's there to sit on in the Dragon Throne for? Chendi is jealous of the emperor for becoming the dream lover of so many women in the capital. He's a fantasy target …" Yin Che said with a sour tone.

"Why do I have to listen to your words that are exceptionally ear-piercing today? There's a hidden meaning within those words, and I don't have the mood to guess the riddle with you." Yin Zhichen leaned on the Dragon Throne and swept his eyes over his three trusted courtiers.

"Your majesty, do you have a special hobby?" Shangguan Ye, who didn't see the Book of Spring, felt a little unbalanced. He stepped forward and said to Yin Zhichen.

"Oh, does This Emperor have any special hobbies?" Yin Zhi Chen squinted at Yin Che, who was trying really hard to hold in his laughter by the side.

"For example, when the emperor is sleeping with the empress, he can summon a painter to draw a picture of the situation, or maybe …"

"Do you think This Emperor is that abnormal?" Yin Zhichen interrupted Shangguan Ye and said with a dark face.

"I don't dare. It's just that there's a lot of rumors circulating around here right now regarding the emperor and the imperial concubines." Bu Qingyun lightly coughed and said.

"A beautiful picture book?" Or is it mine? " Yin Zhichen asked with a raised voice.

"Yes. To be exact, it was the entire process of your royal brother and all your concubines sleeping together." Yin Che added.

"What do you mean?" Yin Zhi Chen stood up, his eyes filled with a cold killing intent.

"Your majesty, right now there are all sorts of editions of the emperor's and the various concubines' rooms in the capital city. Now that Prince Cheng has them, each of them has one in his hands." Shangguan Ye smirked at his two friends.

"Take it out." Yin Zhi Chen said as he extended his hand towards the two people who were being pointed out.

"Hehe, royal brother, I spent a lot of effort to buy this." Yin Che took out the booklet, looking very reluctant.

"Bring it here." Yin Zhichen glared with a darkened face.

Yin Che unwillingly brought the book forward, and when Yin Zhicheng reached out his hand, he withdrew it. As for Bu Qingyun, he felt much more refreshed. He took out the book, and placed it on the dragon table.

Yin Zhichen no longer stared at Yin Che and picked up the booklet that Qing Yun had put down.

"Your majesty, this painter's painting skills are quite good. It seems like he saw it with his own eyes. Moreover, the figure of your majesty is also very good." Bu Qingyun enviously said when he saw the emperor quickly flipping through the painting with a flushed face.

"Where did this come from?" Yin Zhichen slapped the dragon table with one hand as he held the tome in his other hand.

"Royal brother, don't be angry. Chendi can't even find a painter like that. Think about it, at least half of the women in the capital would dream of you as a …"

"Enough, This Emperor ordered the three of you to find out within three days where these words came from and who drew them. Otherwise, This Emperor will fulfill your wish and allow you to become the male lead in the painting." Yin Zhicheng roared.

"Royal brother, are you really angry?" Yin Che looked at the red-faced emperor and asked doubtfully.

He suspected that the emperor's face was red from looking at the Book of Spring. He couldn't help but peek under the table, wondering if the emperor was holding up his pants. If there was, it was definitely because of the Book of Spring Palace.

"Would you be happy?" Yin Zhichen stared at his little brother with a cold expression.

"That depends on who the painter is. It doesn't matter if it's a woman you don't care about. If it's a woman you love, then you might kill the painter." Yin Che said in a cool voice as he flipped the Spring Palace on his hand.

Shangguan Ye craned his neck to take a closer look, and finally saw the entire room. Because Yin Che flipped quickly, the painting seemed to move, as if it were a real person moving rhythmically …

Shangguan Fei'er suddenly felt a warm stream flowing through her nose. She cursed and immediately covered it with her hand. Unfortunately, she had already seen it.

"Ah? Ye? You're not, are you? You have a nosebleed?" Yin Che shouted in exaggeration.

"Prince, you're not any better than Ye." Bu Qingyun looked at Yin Che, who was also bleeding from his nose, and said with a smile. It was just that someone was focusing on someone else and did not realize that he was being impulsive.

Yin Che covered his nose with his hands, he never thought that he would also be embarrassed.

Yin Zhichen unceremoniously snatched the Spring Atlas. This was too much. These two beloved officials were actually looking at him and their beloved concubine with their blood boiling.

Yin Zhi Chen looked at the two pictures in his hands. They could no longer be described with anger, but more of shock. Who was the one who drew this? Given how detailed the painting was, even he couldn't recall the identity of the person in the painting. It seemed that the person in the painting must have stolen from somewhere.

"Dear Cloud, do you know how many kinds of booklets the commoners have?" Yin Zhichen raised his head and asked Bu Yunyun.

"When returning to the emperor, there shouldn't be more than a hundred books, and according to what I've heard, none of them are duplicated." Bu Qingyun hesitated but decided to tell the truth.

"Without repeating the same thing in the hundred books, it means that the painter has peeked at Zhen 100 or more. This Emperor is becoming more and more interested in that painter." Yin Zhichen had an evil smile on his face.

"Royal brother, don't you have any impression of him?" Yin Che covered his nose as he asked. He was certain that every time the emperor went to his room, there would be someone looking from the very beginning to the very end. But who could it be? Who would be able to finish these paintings with a straight face after seeing such a fiery and passionate process?

"Do I have an impression of him? I only have an impression of a woman's body. Could it be that my concubines would draw these pictures themselves? Furthermore, based on their emotional turmoil back then, I guess they didn't even know about it themselves. " Yin Zhicheng mocked himself as he held the booklet.

"Your majesty, this subject has an idea. Why don't we call the female protagonist from this book over? Perhaps they might know." Shangguan Ye's nose also stopped bleeding, he immediately came up with a bad idea.

"Makes sense." The others immediately agreed.

Yin Zhi Chen picked up the booklet that he and Yu Fei were the main characters in. He flipped through a few pages and said to Little De who was beside him, "Send Jade Consort over to the imperial study to meet me."

After the little De Zi left, the group began to discuss among themselves.

"Your majesty, after we find the culprit, how does your majesty plan to deal with it?" Bu Qingyun asked.

"Of course, I cut off both my hands." Shangguan Ye answered on behalf of the emperor, "This is not only promoting lust and obscenity, but also insulting for ever."

"What if it's a woman?" After being silent for a while, Yin Che said.

"Woman? No woman would dare to draw such a lecherous painting. " Shangguan Ye said.

"From the exquisite brush strokes, I also think that it is very likely to be a woman." Ken Qingyun stood by Yin Che's side and said.

"Yun, tell me, why do you think it's a woman?" Yin Zhichen asked as he stared at Bu Yunyun.

"I may not be able to return to the Emperor, but this subject feels that women are more suspicious. "First of all, these paintings must have come from the palace. In this harem, except for the emperor, all the people are women, and there are two types of people that can see the entire process of the emperor's wedding chamber without the emperor feeling. The first is the palace maid, the second is the eunuch of the harem, if they were present when the emperor was in the harem, then it wouldn't be surprising for the painting to shrink in size." Bu Qingyun looked at the emperor and said.

"Both of them are possible. I do not always clear the area, but only Little De has seen eunuchs. However, he is impossible." Mr. Yin first ruled out the only possible male, Kiko.

"This is it. But to be able to see the entire process so coincidentally, it should be impossible, right?" Bu Qingyun looked at the emperor.

"Impossible, the palace maids don't have that much guts. Furthermore, even if they painted a painting, how could these things be passed around in the world?" Yin Zhichen shook his head.

"Actually, I've always thought that it might be the imperial concubines themselves. They're the ones who know best. No matter who it is, unless they're standing in front of the bed and watching the entire scene without blinking an eye …"

"Wait, I think I have a feeling …" Yin Zhicheng closed his eyes as he carefully recalled the abnormality of the various palaces.

"Your majesty, did you sense it?" Yin Che and the rest asked anxiously at the same time.

"I remember now, every time I'm in love with them, I feel like I have a pair of eyes. Moreover … let me think a bit more." Yin Zhichen patted his head, "I remember now. The arrangements of the different palaces are quite similar, but the furnishings inside are very different. However, I don't know when it started, but the beds in the palaces are all facing the wardrobe. That pair of eyes …"

"Did the emperor say that every time you went to your room, someone would steal from the cabinet?" Bu Yunxiao quickly concluded.

"That should be the case. This Emperor once heard a sound while at Jinhua Palace. This Emperor wanted to open the wardrobe. The Imperial Concubine said there were rats in the palace …" As if he had just awoken from a dream, Yin Zhichen finally remembered why there was always something wrong with the room.

"Ah! According to royal brother's meaning, your royal sister-in-law is colluding with the painter?" Yin Che's words shocked everyone as he looked at Yin Zhichen and concluded.

"Could it be that the emperor always lights the palace lamps in his rooms?" Shangguan Ye asked in a muffled voice.

"This is my habit." Yin Zhichen said with a look of embarrassment.

Initially, Yin Zhichen was not that angry. However, as the topic became deeper, he felt that his privacy was being analyzed bit by bit in front of all the officials, especially his younger brother.

"I don't think it's possible. No woman is willing to expose such a private side to outsiders." Bu Qingyun shook his head.

"Jade Concubine." While Yin Zhicheng and the other officials were discussing amongst themselves, Little De Zi had already brought Yu Fei to the royal study.

"Long live chenqie kowtowing." Even though Yu Fei saw Prince Cheng and the two lords, she didn't do anything abnormal. She just walked up to Jiang Chen and greeted him.

"My beloved concubine, rise." Yin Zhichen stretched out his hand and said.

"I wonder what orders does Your Majesty have for this concubine to come here?" Yu Fei asked softly.

"My beloved concubine, my beloved concubines have brought me some interesting things today. I think my beloved concubine might be interested." As he spoke, he took the booklet with Jade Consort as the main character and walked towards her.

Yin Zhichen opened the Spring Palace's Book in his hand in front of Yufei, while the rest of them focused on her expression.

The moment the emperor opened the book, Yu Fei's cheeks immediately turned red. She immediately became shocked and even put her hand over her mouth. Just from this expression alone, it was clear that she did not know of this painting.

"Your Majesty, these … these shameful … spring … spring … spring … Spring Palace … …" Yu Fei's cheeks were flushed red as she stuttered for a long time without uttering a single complete sentence.

"My beloved concubine, do you want to know where this' Spring Palace Book 'came from?" Yin Zhichen was very depressed. From Yu Fei's expression, he could tell that she did not know. Could it be that their guess was wrong?

"Chenqie doesn't want to know." Yu Fei lowered her head bashfully.

"Has my beloved concubine ever seen the School of Spring?" Yin Zhichen was slightly displeased. He had done this who knew how many times, but now he was trying to act pure.

She didn't know how to reply. It was true that she hadn't seen it before she entered the palace, but the palace had a large number of spring palaces. It wasn't surprising that she had a few, but how could she let the emperor know about this? If she replied, the emperor would definitely think she was a lustful person.

"Alright, you can leave now." When Yin Zhi Chen saw Yu Fei's impatient expression, he waved his hand to have Little De Zi send someone out of the study.
