Chapter 234 Being exposed in public

Standing at the door of Leng Palace, the emperor suddenly felt a little dazed. He didn't know what was wrong with him. When he woke up this morning, he remembered that the fragrance of flowers he smelled last night was the unique smell of Concubine Lou. He walked here unknowingly after the morning court.

In the early years, he and Concubine Lou had a loving relationship, just like an ordinary couple, but something changed at some point.

"Crunch..."

Pushing open the heavy wooden door, the emperor ordered the attendants to stay and walked into the cold palace alone.

The emperor walked through the desolate courtyards and finally met the person he wanted to see in a small courtyard. At this time, Concubine Lou was leaning on a chair in the corridor. Although her eyes were clear, she could not see anything.

"Who's coming?"

When Concubine Lou heard the movement behind her, she straightened up and turned her head. When she didn't hear the answer, she added, "Although I can't see, my ears are very sensitive."

Hearing this, the emperor had no choice but to continue to step forward and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just happened to pass by by chance and did not mean to disturb my Majesty."

Concubine Lou felt that his voice was somewhat familiar, but this was the cold palace, so she didn't think much about it. She smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, you can go and do your work first."

"I just came to Leng Palace. I have nothing to do, so can I stay here for a while?"

Listening to his timid words, Concubine Lou mistakenly thought that he had been beaten by someone else, so she comforted her softly: "Don't be sad. You will inevitably be bullied when you first come here. After you stay for a long time, no one will bully you anymore."

.”

"I happen to have some ointment here. Just wait here and I'll get it for you."

Seeing her getting up and groping forward, the emperor couldn't help but reach out to help her, but Concubine Lou shrank back in panic.

After coming back to his senses, the emperor quickly explained: "Don't be afraid, I... the servant saw that the empress has difficulty walking, so I want to help you."

"I haven't seen this for many years. I'm used to it. Thank you."

After Concubine Lou thanked her, she carefully walked back into the room, avoiding the emperor. When she came out, she had a bottle of ointment in her hand.

"Although this ointment is not made from any precious medicinal materials, it is quite effective. Please keep it."

Looking at the ointment she handed over, the emperor felt mixed emotions. Even after so long, her kindness to people has not changed.

At this time, the aroma of wine came with the wind, and the emperor sniffed subconsciously, "It smells so good."

"Your nose is really good."

Concubine Lou lowered her head and smiled, then walked to the place where she had just rested, "I brewed flower wine a few days ago and was about to taste it. It just so happened that if you are not in a hurry to go back, maybe you can give me some advice."

Wine made from flowers?

The emperor became excited for a moment, forgetting that he was playing the role of a little eunuch, and nodded happily: "Okay."

Fortunately, Concubine Lou was always kind and did not think too deeply. She took out a cup and poured him a drink.

After drinking a glass of wine, the emperor felt as if his whole person had come to life, and the pressure that had accumulated for a long time was released at this moment.

"how is the taste?"

There was a smile on Concubine Lou's face. Her eyes could not be seen, but the emperor could still see that she had some expectations.

"tastes good."

After receiving the other party's approval, Concubine Lou was very happy and immediately poured him another glass.

The two were alone for a while. In order to avoid Concubine Lou becoming suspicious, the emperor had to stand up and say goodbye.

Because he drank the flower wine brewed by Concubine Lou in the cold palace, the emperor felt particularly comfortable after returning, and he even felt motivated to review the memorials.

In the following days, the fragrance of flowers came every day, and the emperor also went to the Cold Palace for several days in a row, but he still did not reveal his identity, and met with Concubine Lou in the name of the former young eunuch.

"What did you say? The emperor is not in the study room?"

"Go back to your Majesty, I sent the things as you ordered, but I was still blocked outside the door."

Hearing Hong Yu's words, the Queen's face suddenly turned ugly. She occasionally saw the Emperor these days and found that the Emperor was always lost in thought and would laugh suddenly from time to time.

She had seen the emperor in this state before. When Concubine Lou was still in the harem, the emperor would look like this every time he came back from her palace.

Could it be...

"Hongyu, go and bring the person guarding the cold palace, don't let anyone find out."

After a while, the chief eunuch from the cold palace was brought to the queen. The other party saluted tremblingly: "I greet you, the queen."

"I would like to ask you, has the emperor been to Leng Palace in the past few days?"

The eldest eunuch's expression was slightly sluggish, and he bowed his head to the queen again, "Back to the queen, the emperor has indeed been to the cold palace."

Hearing this, the queen's hands clenched tightly unconsciously, "Do you know what the emperor is doing in the cold palace?"

"Every time the emperor goes there, he will shoo away the minions, so the minions don't know..."

"Think about it before you reply! I am the queen, and you should know the consequences of lying to me."

"My Majesty, please calm down. I don't dare to lie to your Majesty. However, the Emperor did not allow the servants to follow you, but... I heard the Emperor talking to Concubine Lou."

Okay, it’s really that bitch!

A burst of anger arose in the queen's heart. She should have thought a long time ago that that bitch could not stay in the cold palace so honestly. After more than a year, there was finally some movement.

"Stand back. If you let others know what happened today, you know the consequences."

"Yes, I understand."

The next day——

The emperor was a little upset when he was reviewing the memorial, and he couldn't help but think of Concubine Lou again. He had already been there for several days, and he didn't care about one more day.

So, he came to Leng Palace again and found an excuse to meet Concubine Lou.

When the two were chatting happily, a sound of footsteps suddenly came. The emperor felt puzzled. He had ordered that no one should come close, so why...

"emperor!"

A clear voice came, and the queen was seen walking towards the two of them with a solemn look. The emperor's face suddenly changed when he saw her.

Concubine Lou also heard the voice of the visitor, stood up and saluted her: "I have met the Queen."

The queen walked directly in front of her and looked at her extremely beautiful face. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. If the emperor hadn't been present, she would have slapped him.

"I heard that the emperor has been running away to the cold palace these days. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Having his identity exposed in front of Concubine Lou, the emperor couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and asked with a gloomy face: "Why, according to the Queen's wishes, can't I come?"

"The emperor is the king of a country, and the entire palace belongs to you, but this cold palace is where the erring concubines live. According to the law, the emperor cannot come here."

"Queen, you have overstepped your bounds."

"Your Majesty, please calm down. What I said is for the sake of the Emperor. If outsiders know that the Emperor ignores etiquette and law, it will probably affect the Emperor's reputation."

Having said this, the Queen suddenly turned to look at the person next to her, "Concubine Lou, do you think what I said makes sense?"
