Chapter 129 Eunuch He is Really Not Good 25
As the emperor's face became increasingly gloomy, Lin Shunyi, in order to protect her family, risked everything and confessed many unknown inside stories. The empress's face turned paler with every word she said.
Just like it was a drama that had been planned long in advance, during the time when Concubine Fang was giving birth, Yun Zhiyue witnessed with her own eyes what it meant to be pushed down by everyone when the wall fell.
As soon as Lin Shunyi finished speaking, the concubines stood up to accuse the queen of evil deeds, one after another, too numerous to list.
If the concubine's subsequent confessions had already made the emperor feel indescribably bad, then Concubine Fang's hemorrhage made the emperor explode.
In front of many people, he slapped his wife so hard that she couldn't stand up: "Do you still have the nerve to take the position of queen?"
The queen smiled sadly and looked at Concubine De for a while before she set her gaze on the emperor's face.
She didn't cry or make a scene, nor did she beg for mercy. She said calmly, "Your Majesty, even if I don't want to be the queen, you can't depose me. Don't forget, my father is the prime minister!"
The emperor staggered a step and looked at the queen with great disgust.
The queen staggered to her feet and laughed happily, "Your Majesty, you were just an unpopular prince back then. If you hadn't asked me to marry you, would you be here today?"
"When my father disagreed with this marriage, how did you promise and plead? All the promises before the marriage disappeared when you took power."
"I have committed ten unforgivable crimes, but this crime is the result of your actions. The royal family will be extinct in your generation. I, your majesty, would like to see how you will face your ancestors after a hundred years."
After saying this, he burst into laughter, and regardless of the emperor's anger, he left the palace with all the servants who looked as pale as death.
As if to fulfill the Queen's words, Concubine Fang bled to death, killing two people.
The emperor rolled his eyes and fell down...
"His Majesty!"
"Oh my god, call the doctor!"
"His Majesty!"
Concubine De stood aside, watching everything happen in a dull manner. She seemed to have no false concern for the fate of the empress and the emperor, nor any excitement about the success of her plan...
Suddenly, Concubine De turned her eyes and met Yun Zhiyue's gaze. They stared at each other for a long time, and finally looked away.
This major event in the harem was not concealed at all and was widely spread.
But none of these were as serious as the emperor's coma. Fortunately, after treatment by the imperial physician, the emperor was found to be just weak and angry, and there was no major problem for the time being. He just needed to rest well.
The concubines took turns to look after him, and the government affairs were jointly controlled by the Imperial Household Department and the Cabinet.
The first thing the emperor did when he woke up was to confine the empress to the Phoenix Palace and make the prime minister with white hair kneel at the door of the imperial study. He did not say he would summon him, nor did he say he would not see him.
Afterwards, Lin Shunyi was sent to the cold palace, and although her family was demoted, they fortunately survived.
As for Concubine Fang's matter, the emperor did not even ask a single question, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had no choice but to handle it according to the rules.
The Empress was imprisoned in the Phoenix Palace, and the Imperial Concubine was "recuperating" in the temporary palace. Someone had to take care of the affairs of this huge harem.
Naturally, it fell to the highest-ranking concubines, Defei and Liangfei, and the two of them finally made it.
But the strange thing is that during the period of recuperation, the emperor spent most of his time with Yun Zhiyue, except for taking care of the elderly prime minister.
One day, the emperor suddenly proposed to promote Yun Zhiyue's father, the county magistrate.
Yun Zhiyue hurriedly stopped him: "Your Majesty, please don't show favor to my father because of me. My father... doesn't have that kind of talent. A county magistrate is enough."
"I don't want my family to rely on your majesty's power and do something out of line one day, which would make it difficult for your majesty."
Her father had never been kind to her in this life, and as long as she was in the imperial city, her father would never be able to get promoted or get rich.
The emperor had no idea what she was thinking, but he was deeply moved. As a woman, she knew that the more powerful her family was, the more confident she would be.
All the concubines in the harem, upon hearing these words, expressed their gratitude excitedly. Yun Zhiyue was truly a breath of fresh air in the harem.
The emperor was so moved that Yun Zhiyue, a noble of the fourth rank, became the concubine of the first rank, Concubine Yun.
Although there is still a gap of two levels between her and the Four Concubines, it is definitely not far away...
The unexpected surprise came too suddenly, but Yun Zhiyue adapted well.
The emperor was unwell and had to abstain from sex for a period of time, which was exactly what she wanted. Although she accompanied the emperor all day long, apart from talking nonsense and reciting poems, there was nothing else she did.
On this day, the emperor was lying on the couch with an expression of enjoyment. She was sitting on a small stool not far from the emperor, holding the Book of Songs in her hands, reciting aloud with great emotion.
There was a sound of footsteps at the door. It was the person the emperor agreed to summon. The prime minister had been suffering from illness during this period, but he still insisted on kneeling here every day.
The prime minister was highly respected, so naturally the civil and military officials could not stand it. Many of them came to give advice, and the emperor met with some of them every day.
What a coincidence that we came today, the Chief Seal of the Imperial Household Luo Bai, and the Prince of Qin Feng Yu.
"Your Majesty, I am your humble servant." No one responded.
Yun Zhiyue holds the book and recites with deep emotion: "The curtain waves are like water and smoke floats. Hanging on the weeping willows, a crescent moon hangs. The east wind blows the dream past the red building. Empty and cold, the old incense burns."
"Since we parted, I feel sad as if in autumn. I have no way to relieve my frown. My heart is too delicate and I am too thin. I can't stand too much sorrow." (From "Drunk in Red Makeup" by Zhao Wopei in the Qing Dynasty)
The emperor looked pleased.
Yun Zhiyue continued: "The jade trees and branches are not sparing each other. The thin cloud clothes and the slender willow waist. The general makeup is very delicate. The eyebrows and eyes are delicate, as if they were painted."
"The east wind shakes the grass and the flowers flutter. I hate that I have no plan to climb the green tree. I wake up and sing with my lover. He is not drunk yet, but I have a golden mink." (From "Drunk in Red Makeup" by Zhang Xian, Song Dynasty)
The emperor clapped his hands and said, "Good! My beloved concubine reads with great emotion and passion. It is truly pleasant to the ear. I deserve your appreciation."
Yun Zhiyuezi smiled and said, "There is no need for rewards. I am very satisfied to accompany Your Majesty every day. State affairs are more important. I will withdraw first and come back later to read another book to Your Majesty."
The emperor was very happy to be coaxed. Yun Zhiyue leaned over and stepped back, passing by the two people with interesting intentions.
The emperor now asked her to stay by his side almost every day. She could not return to the palace and could only rest in the side hall of the emperor's bedroom.
I poured myself a cup of tea and just as I drank it to moisten my throat, a figure appeared beside me.
I didn't even have time to take the second sip of tea before it was all taken away by the tricky lips and tongue.
Yun Zhiyue bit the tip of Luo Bai's tongue until it hurt, and then she was able to breathe a sigh of relief. She said angrily in a low voice: "How dare you! This is the Emperor's bedroom!"
Luo Bai picked her up and sat her astride him, saying playfully, "What are you afraid of, Concubine Yun? I am just a eunuch. Even if we are seen together, no one will think anything of it."
Feeling the strangeness under her thigh, Yun Zhiyue was extremely speechless.
This ridiculous guy couldn't control his sexual desire when he saw her. If she didn't know that her true form was grass, she would have thought she was a seductive fox demon.
The skirt was half taken off, and Yun Zhiyue grabbed it tightly: "You are so outrageous. I am the concubine Yun, you are not done yet, right?"
"But what can I do, Your Majesty? You have been staying by the Emperor's side all day long, and I cannot get close to you."
