Sheng Niannian frowned and couldn't help but curse in her heart, why did the emperor find her again so well?
Didn't she already explain to him the situation of her mother and concubine in the morning?
But she couldn't refuse the emperor's invitation, "Okay."
…
In the Yangxin Hall, Ye Shengtian was sitting high on the dragon chair, reviewing the memorial attentively.
Eunuch He led Sheng Niannian in, and then he raised his eyes with a sharp look on his face, not angry but proud.
Ye Shengtian glanced at Eunuch He. Eunuch He immediately understood and left the hall with all the other servants in the hall.
Before leaving, Eunuch He took one more look at Sheng Niannian with a meaningful look on his face.
For some reason, Sheng Niannian always felt that today's night was different.
It's not that his appearance has changed, it's that the atmosphere in this heart-nurturing palace is really condensed and depressing.
Sheng Niannian lowered his head and took the lead in saluting respectfully, "My son, I would like to pay my respects to my father."
Ye Shengtian stared at Sheng Niannian with half-squinted eyes, but did not put down the memorial in his hand, "You have been tired all night, no need to be polite, just get up."
"Thank you very much, Father." Sheng Niannian stood up and said warmly: "I wonder why Father called me here?"
That's what she said, but she had already guessed why the emperor was looking for her. It must be because of yesterday's rescue.
She had already figured out several ways in her mind to deal with Ye Shengtian's remarks about Concubine Wan.
Ye Shengtian stared at Sheng Niannian, his eyes were dark and dark, and his tone was quite gentle, "I heard that you fainted, but you were tired. How are you recovering now?"
Sheng Niannian responded calmly, "Returning to my father, I just fainted due to low blood sugar after not eating for a long time. Now that I have rested for a while and eaten, it is no longer a serious problem. Thank you for your concern, father."
"
"Yeah." Ye Shengtian's tone did not fluctuate, but the meaning in his eyes became a little more intense, "I didn't know that you have become so capable without saying a word for so many years."
"Now your medical skills are much better than everyone else in my hospital."
Sheng Niannian remained calm, "My son, I had nothing to do, so I studied medical skills in the palace. Unexpectedly, it actually came in handy."
"When it comes to qualifications, of course the imperial doctors are more powerful. I just know some weird and tricky skills."
For some reason, she always felt frightened when she looked at Ye Shengtian's eyes.
As expected, the next second, Ye Shengtian suddenly sneered and said, "You have nothing to do?"
"Isn't it that we are in Prince Han's Mansion, having sex with the third child? Don't hide it from me, I can see that the third child's attitude towards you is very unusual now, and the relationship between the two of you is getting better and better.
.”
He had an inquiring look on his face, and his sharp gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
Sheng Niannian didn't understand why he sneered. Could it be that he saw that she and Ye Wuyuan were not on good terms and was deliberately making sarcastic remarks?
She said carefully after careful consideration, "Father, I also know that husband and wife quarrel, quarreling at the bedside and at the end of the bed. It has been so many years since my son and the prince, even if they are not in love with each other, they must have treated each other as guests."
"After so many years, I no longer cling to the past. I just hope to let nature take its course and be favored by the prince. Of course it is best."
"Let nature take its course?!" Hearing this, Ye Shengtian threw the book in his hand to the ground. He looked at Sheng Niannian, his whole body shrouded in gloom and chill.
"Sheng Niannian, don't forget, the reason why I granted you a marriage back then was so that you could spy on King Han and tie his hands and feet."
"But there has been no news from you in the past five years, and when there is news, you never report to me. What is your intention? Could it be——"
There was a cold and angry coercion in his tone, which was so heavy that it made people breathless. "Are you deliberately hiding it and not repaying it? You are disloyal to me for the sake of the third child?"
What?!
The original owner turned out to be a chess piece used by the emperor to monitor Ye Wuyuan?!
Sheng Niannian was stunned and shocked, and the strings in her mind instantly tightened.
Is there such a complicated truth behind the marriage?
No wonder Ye Shengtian was very protective of the original owner in many matters. No wonder he was so angry when she proposed to reconcile with Ye Wuyuan. She had always been the emperor's lover!
But why did the emperor do this?
As soon as Sheng Niannian's doubts came to mind, he figured it out. After all, Ye Wuyuan was both civil and military. Although he was weak and weak when he was young, he didn't stand out, but after Concubine Wan's accident, he seemed to be a different person. Not only did he start
The sharp edge is obvious, and there is something vague about it - the meaning of superior power overshadowing the master.
A young general killed everyone on the battlefield and became a feared presence.
Not only did he become famous in the military camp, but he also won the hearts of a large number of people.
After that, as long as he was around, he never lost a battle.
Going south to expand territory and regaining lost territory, the northwest barbarians have always been ambitious, but Ye Wuyuan conquered eight cities overnight and completely defeated those barbarians.
Such a popular and powerful prince was of course a threat to Ye Shengtian who was in his prime, so he granted the marriage in order to use the eyes of the original owner to monitor his son.
This is a conspiracy, this is a deep palace, there is no sense of friendship, it is so terrifying...
"Sheng Niannian?!" Ye Shengtian yelled angrily, completely pulling Sheng Niannian back from his thoughts.
Sheng Niannian's heart trembled, and without thinking, she knelt down and said in a solemn tone, "Return to my father, I have something to say!"
"How dare I be disloyal to you? In the past five years, I have always remembered your instructions and never dared to act rashly."
"It's just that you also know that the prince only had resentment in his heart towards his father. It was difficult for him to get close to him, so he could only recharge his batteries and wait for the opportunity to serve his father."
"During this period, some minor things happened in the palace, and the prince gradually saw the changes in his son and became willing to accept him."
"It's just that the prince is keeping a close eye on you, and I don't have a good chance to report the situation to you. It's definitely not intentional!"
"Really?" Ye Shengtian half-squinted his eyes and stared at Sheng Niannian critically, his gaze sending a chill down his back.
"It's absolutely true!" Sheng Niannian remained calm and gave Ye Shengtian no chance to see any flaws. After all, this was a person who could control her life and death at any time!
Her eyes were red, and she felt a little aggrieved and helpless, "I also want to tell my father as soon as possible, but my life in the palace has not been very good in the past few years, and I am restricted everywhere. If I no longer
I am taking orders from you, so why should I tell you these things?"
But Ye Shengtian sneered and asked sternly, "Even if it's true as you said, then since your relationship is going well now, shouldn't you keep an eye on the third child so that he can make less limelight and make more mistakes?"
"Why are you still helping the third child and targeting King Wei everywhere? You even went to Shengtian Camp two days ago and blatantly made treasonous remarks, making the third child famous in the military camp!"
"Sheng Niannian, what on earth do you want to do——"
