Chapter 203: Prey targeted by ferocious beasts (first update)
"Royal Concubine, what should we do now?"
"How is the Emperor doing now? Is it true that he can't wake up?"
"The Imperial Concubine, would you like to say something?"
Concubine Yun and Concubine Xian came to see Ye Wanwan. After waiting for these days, they were really tired.
Emperor Yang's life and death are unknown now. As Emperor Yang's concubines, their fate is closely related to Emperor Yang. If Emperor Yang really doesn't survive, their good life may be ruined. The Queen Mother has never liked them, and neither does Leng Yunqing.
Those who are easy to get along with may not treat them well.
Thinking of these, I can't sleep or eat well. How can I still sit still?
Ye Wanwan leaned on the pillow sadly: "What's the use of asking me? Even the imperial doctors dare not make a conclusion, how can I know? Go back and wait."
Concubine Xian looked at Ye Wanwan, her eyes flickering, and asked tentatively: "There are rumors outside that the emperor was injured because he was trying to save the imperial concubine, but is it true?"
"Save me?" Ye Wanwan sneered and looked at her: "Why are you asking about this?"
Concubine Xian smiled innocently and said, "I'm just curious. They say a friend in need is a friend indeed. Your Majesty is really very affectionate towards you, my empress."
"Love is deep and righteous?" The kind of love that pulls her to block an arrow and sends her to death?
Ye Wanwan didn't refute, just closed her eyes: "Back off."
If they insisted on saying this, she couldn't refute it, so she just accepted Zhao Yi's "deep love and righteousness".
Now that Zhao Yi was still unconscious and might die from this, she insisted on explaining that Zhao Yi was not injured to save her, fearing that she would be scolded again.
If you can't explain it clearly, why waste your breath?
Concubine Yun and Concubine Xian looked at each other. Ye Wanwan clearly didn't want to talk to them anymore and could only go back.
Hearing the two people leaving, Ye Wanwan opened her eyes, glanced at them, and then closed them again.
Ye Wanwan's hands and neck were wrapped with bandages. There were still marks from the previous cuts. The wounds were not deep, but some wounds were stained with poisonous weeds. The imperial doctor failed to treat them in time, causing the poison to seep in. Even if it was later treated,
Even after taking the medicine, she became red, swollen, hot, and itched unbearably, which had been tormenting her a lot these past few days.
Concubine Yun and Concubine Xian walked for a while, then a pair of steady and powerful footsteps walked in with firm steps.
"The Marquis of Zhenguo."
Qingsha saluted. Now she did not dare to look down upon the prince of the country at all. Even if he had evil thoughts towards the empress, she could not feel any hatred towards him.
Now the overall situation is controlled by the Zhen Guohou, and he cannot afford to offend him.
Yan Wu waved his hand, and Qingsha wisely stepped back outside the curtain, leaving the room for them to talk.
Ye Wanwan showed no expression when she saw this scene. Now that Yan Wu could come to her, it was really smooth.
Yan Wu's eyes fell directly on Ye Wanwan, he opened the curtain and walked in. He naturally sat by the bed and held her hand: "Is your injury feeling better?"
Ye Wanwan did not withdraw her hand this time, not because she promised him anything, but because she was too lazy to struggle.
Yan Wu's intention was obvious and firm, and he would never back down because of her rejection. Moreover, it was just a handshake, so she couldn't continue to be pretentious.
"I don't feel anything anymore, I should be fine soon."
This was the first time Yan Wu came to see her after that day, but the medicine Ye Wanwan used was sent by him.
The imperial doctors are now trapped at Zhao Yi's place, so where can they find time to see her? Moreover, Yan Wu seems not to want those imperial doctors to come over, and instead finds someone to treat her injuries.
Yan Wu very blamed himself: "It was Yan's incompetence that made the empress suffer."
He saved Zhao Yi's life time and time again, but never thought that Zhao Yi would dare to humiliate the imperial concubine in public, and he was also guilty.
Ye Wanwan didn't know what he was thinking, but she didn't think he had any fault in this matter. It was all because of Zhao Yi's scumbag.
"How is the investigation about the assassin going?"
Yan Wu: "Nothing was found. Most of the assassins were executed, but a dozen of them were caught. They committed suicide by swallowing poison in public, leaving no clues."
Ye Wanwan glanced at him: "Is it Wen Qing?"
She didn't believe that Yan Wu couldn't find anything. It was possible that he knew who it was, but the other party left no evidence.
Yan Wu looked at Ye Wanwan and curled his lips slightly: "I really can't hide anything from you."
It's really Wen Qing who can organize so many assassins with high martial arts skills to assassinate the emperor. How huge is his power?
"And you?"
Yan Wu: "What?"
Ye Wanwan: "What is your relationship with Wen Qing? Are you also his?"
"It's a bit related, but it doesn't matter." He admitted it simply, and he didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, he held her hand and looked at her with burning eyes: "Yan is not his, I am your empress's.
."
Ye Wanwan: "..."
This man... is really not ashamed at all. He answers a question without even teasing him seriously. I don't even know which of what he said is true and which is false.
The back of the hand that was being held felt hot, and Ye Wanwan quickly pulled it out: "How is the situation over there in the court?"
Yan Wu: "As you wish, the eldest prince will supervise the country. Although the queen mother is reluctant, she can't control those people, so she can only agree. As for the Leng family, as long as I am here, there will be no trouble."
These words are really arrogant, but Yan Wu has the capital to be arrogant.
The political power of the DPRK and China is divided into three parts. The Leng family, the Ye family, and other families appear to be divided into three parts, but in fact they are very fragmented. Zhao Yi has been suppressing and restricting them over the years, preventing their power from cohesion.
On the other hand, the military power was captured by Yan Wu. Since the last time King Wei rebelled against Yan Wu to save Zhao Yi from danger, all the military power in the capital was in the hands of Yan Wu. It is not an exaggeration to say that he could cover the sky with one hand.
And this man obviously saved Emperor Yang, but he was actually a traitor.
He coveted the imperial concubine, even planned to kill the emperor, and now he monopolized military power.
He seems to be the most loyal pure minister, but in fact he can't be more treacherous, but she can only rely on him.
The relationship between Ye Wanwan and Yan Wu is very delicate at the moment. If Ye Wanwan wants to control the current situation, she has to rely on Yan Wu. Only he can control things from getting out of control and follow her wishes.
But his loyalty to her was not just loyalty. He made his thoughts very obvious and told her from time to time, for fear that she wouldn't remember.
Now that she relies on him, does she agree or not?
However, Ye Wanwan didn't need to say it. Yan Wu seemed to have seen through her entanglement and had no intention of forcing her. He just got close to her, and as long as she wanted to do something, he would do it without hesitation.
wrong.
Ye Wanwan: "..."
In the past, she wanted to be pleased by others but could not get it. Now, some people are pleased with her and are willing to sacrifice everything. However, she always feels that she is in danger, like a prey being targeted by a ferocious beast, and she is terrified.
Yan Wu left, and Qingsha walked in with a troubled look on her face: "Mother, are you okay?"
They are all useless and cannot protect their master.
