Qi Hengyuan shook his head calmly: "The incense in this room seems different from what you usually use."
Yang Qianyue said with a smile: "It's different, because I changed it to a different kind of incense. Don't brother Hengyuan like it?"
Qi Hengyuan didn't say he liked it, nor did he say he didn't like it. He just said calmly: "As long as you like it."
Although Yang Qianyue wanted to use rosemary to have a skin-to-skin kiss with Qi Hengyuan, she did not dare to use only one kind of rosemary, which would be easily discovered. When Xiangjie ordered rosemary, she also ordered another one.
Mixing two or three incense together will dilute the smell of rosemary, but it will double the efficacy of the medicine. It is normal for Qi Hengyuan not to be able to tell what kind of incense this mixed aroma is.
After the two of them walked in, Qi Hengyuan washed himself first, and naturally the prince and his father-in-law took care of him. After Qi Hengyuan went to sleep, the prince and his father-in-law left.
Yang Qianyue also washed herself and then lay on the bed.
Xiang Jie left a lamp on and looked at Yang Qianyue before quietly retreating.
Xiangjie closed the door tightly, and then she stayed at the door.
Tonight is very crucial and important to the queen. She cannot let anyone or anything disturb her.
Yang Qianyue was lying on the bed, her whole body was very nervous. Thinking of what she was going to do soon, she was excited, scared and nervous. She kept taking deep breaths, twisting her fingers tightly together, and repeatedly clenched and unclenched her fists.
Release and then make a fist.
She didn't dare to sleep and kept her eyes open. As time passed little by little, she began to feel hot and uncomfortable all over. She originally wore very little, only a thin gauze.
Underwear, because she knew what she was going to do in the evening, she didn't wear more.
At this moment, the thin clothes could not bring any coolness to her, but instead burned her whole body like a flame.
She was extremely hungry and thirsty.
She knew that the incense in the room had taken effect.
She quietly climbed out of bed and walked barefoot to the outer room on the other side of the screen.
Qi Hengyuan had already fallen asleep, but in his sleep he was sweating profusely and his whole body became extremely uncomfortable.
At a certain moment, he opened his eyes suddenly, his breathing was heavy and chaotic, and his thoughts felt vague and hazy.
Just as his mouth was dry and he was licking his lips, a fragrant gauze shadow came over.
At that moment, Qi Hengyuan felt that his body was shaking even more violently. Big beads of sweat on his forehead slid down from both sides of his cheeks. He had the idea of pressing this gauze woman under him and tearing her apart.
He suddenly realized something was wrong, and immediately raised his fingers to tap on several acupuncture points. In the blink of an eye, his expression became clearer, and he could see clearly who the woman was walking towards him.
Qi Hengyuan squinted his eyes. Under the night, his body was tense and full of lust. His dark eyes were dyed with flame-like light. His white underwear made him look like a god, and his dark eyes made him look like a god.
He was dragged into the boundless hell. He was on both sides of black and white, and his eyes were absolutely beautiful.
Yang Qianyue couldn't stand the influence of incense, but when she got closer and saw Qi Hengyuan's appearance, her heart swayed even more.
She exhaled a breath of hot breath, and her limp body fell unconsciously into Qi Hengyuan's arms. At the same time, she made a delicate voice: "Brother Hengyuan..."
Qi Hengyuan sat there without moving. When Yang Qianyue fell into his arms, he stretched out his arm and squeezed her arm hard.
Through the thin clothes, he felt the hot heat coming from her skin, and the heat made his whole body tremble.
But he was not affected. With a cold face, he released huge internal force from his fingers, lifted Yang Qianyue up and threw her on the bed behind him.
Yang Qianyue was about to wrap around him from behind, but he raised his knife and struck her in the back of the neck, knocking her unconscious.
Qi Hengyuan got out of bed steadily, took some clothes and put them on himself. From the beginning to the end, he never looked at Yang Qianyue on the bed outside.
After getting dressed, he glanced coldly at the incense burner in the dim candlelight.
After staring at the stove for a moment, he turned around and took a kettle, walked to the stove and poured all the water in the kettle into it.
Soon, the incense in the stove went out, and the aroma stopped.
Qi Hengyuan put down the kettle and walked towards the gate with a sullen face.
He opened the door. Xiangjie heard the movement and turned around suddenly. She saw the king standing there like a Rakshasa, the king of hell. She was so frightened that she fell to her knees on the ground before she realized it.
Qi Hengyuan gave her a dead look, shook his sleeves and walked out.
Xiangjie's thoughts were very confused. Why did His Majesty appear here? At this time, shouldn't His Majesty be having something to do with His Majesty? Your Majesty has come out, where is Your Majesty?
Is it over, or has it never begun?
Xiangjie was frightened, scared and anxious. She wanted to go in to see the situation, but she didn't dare.
It wasn't until the king walked past her that she felt her breathing rising, and crawled to get in to see the situation.
But unexpectedly, the king who had already walked several steps away from her suddenly said: "Don't wake her up, just let her sleep like this until dawn. The effect of the medicine will not wear off until dawn, right? Do you want to see her take effect?"
Are you suffering, or do you want to find another man for her?"
Xiangjie cried out in fright, banged her forehead on the floor, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I don't dare, I don't dare! I just don't wake you up. I will never wake you up. I will guard you until dawn."
, Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will definitely take good care of your Majesty."
Qi Hengyuan sneered again and strode out of Fengyue Palace without saying a word.
The prince did not expect that not long after the king fell asleep, he actually got up in the middle of the night and wanted to go back to Yuyang Palace.
Although he was shocked and puzzled, he still put on his clothes and hurried forward to serve him.
Yu Chu returned to Yuyang Palace all the way, and Qi Hengyuan felt more and more uncomfortable. Although when he walked out of the room, he felt a lot more comfortable when he felt the cold wind outside, but now the emptiness and heat came again.
He strode into the palace and in a very steady and calm voice asked the prince to get some cold water.
The prince was stunned and looked at the king, becoming more and more puzzled. He had obviously taken a bath before going to bed, and it was cold winter now. Take a cold bath?
The prince opened his mouth, trying to persuade the king to take good care of his body, but before he could say anything, Qi Hengyuan became impatient and glanced at him coldly: "What are you doing standing here? Didn't you listen to what I said?"
"Your Majesty, take a cold shower on this cold day..."
Before he finished speaking, the king glared at him so much that his tongue curled up in fear. How could the prince dare to be verbose anymore? He immediately called a few eunuchs to send cold water to Yuyang Palace.
Qi Hengyuan soaked in the cold water, and the dryness in his body gradually dissipated. When Qi Hengyuan completely felt that his body was fine, he got up from the cold water, changed a new set of clothes, and lay down on the dragon bed to sleep.
At Yinshi the next day, Qi Hengyuan packed up and went to court. When he turned around and walked out the door, the prince stopped talking for a long time. When he was changing clothes just now, he seemed to have something to say, but he didn't dare.
The way he said it.
Qi Hengyuan narrowed his eyes, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at him: "Wang Dehou."
"The slave is here."
"What do you want to say to me?"
The prince looked at the king with tears of gratitude. He did not dare to speak unless your majesty asked.
Although I don't know exactly what happened last night, judging from His Majesty's unusual behavior like taking a cold bath when he came back, it is likely that something inhumane happened.
He didn't dare to pry, but when Yinshi didn't come to wait for the king to change his clothes, he actually saw Concubine Yang outside the main hall of Yuyang Palace!
Concubine Yang also asked him if His Majesty had summoned the concubines from the harem to sleep with him last night, and he naturally said no. Concubine Yang's expression at that time was difficult to describe. It looked like happiness, but not at all.
Because the prince was anxious to go in and serve the king, he didn't waste much time and went in quickly. He didn't know whether Concubine Yang was still there or not.
Eunuch Wang spoke in a low voice and told him that Yang Qianyue might be outside the door.
Qi Hengyuan glanced at Eunuch Wang expressionlessly, then turned to look at the door. He picked up his steps and walked towards the door.
The door opened and Qi Hengyuan saw Yang Qianyue. Before Yang Qianyue came forward or said anything, he first said: "Kneel down."
Yang Qianyue was slightly startled, with a look of grievance on her face: "Brother Hengyuan..."
"I want you to kneel down."
Qi Hengyuan was not angry, and even his voice was very calm, but everyone around him could hear the king's indifference and murderousness.
Everyone has an illusion that if Yang Qianyue doesn't kneel down, she, as a noble concubine, will be in trouble.
Yang Qianyue felt it herself, and she cried out in frustration. She had never been treated like this by brother Hengyuan in her entire life, and she was still in the palace, in front of so many palace people.
Yang Qianyue shed tears, bit her lips tightly, and looked at Qi Hengyuan for a moment. After looking at him for a long time, she found that her brother Hengyuan didn't show any pain, and she felt even more aggrieved and sad.
Yang Qianyue realized that her brother Hengyuan was not joking with her. She had to kneel even if she didn't, so she could only cry harder, almost wailing, holding up the hem of her skirt and kneeling down.
Qi Hengyuan was very disappointed. That kind of disappointment was like losing the warmth of the only relative around him, which made him feel cold from heart to bone.
He raised his head and glanced at the still dark sky above his head. There was bright moonlight and twinkling stars in the sky. They were so beautiful, but why, when he got to the ground, the people and the air around him became filthy.
Too bad.
Qi Hengyuan looked away, no longer looking at Yang Qianyue, and did not say how to punish her. He turned around and headed towards the Imperial Palace.
It was already past midnight after the court ended. At this time, Yang Qianyue's punishment of kneeling down in the main hall of Yuyang Palace spread to every corner of the harem as if it had grown wings.
Before Yan Ning got up, the harem gossip was already flying everywhere. After Yan Ning got up, several versions of the gossip had been circulated.
It is said that His Majesty the State of Qi stayed at Fengyue Palace last night, and Concubine Yang did not serve her well, so she went to plead guilty, but was punished by His Majesty.
It is said that Concubine Yang wanted to have sex with His Majesty Qi last night, but His Majesty Qi was unwilling and left in a rage. Concubine Yang went to plead guilty and was punished.
It is said that Concubine Yang gave His Majesty Qi some medicine last night, but His Majesty discovered it. Concubine Yang was afraid that His Majesty would be angry, so she took the initiative to plead guilty and was punished.
Yan Ning listened with great interest while eating breakfast.
After breakfast, Liu Baoluo also ran over and gossiped with Yan Ning about the inside story of Concubine Yang being made to kneel by His Majesty the State of Qi.
Liu Baoluo said: "Which version do you think is true?"
Yan Ning glanced at her: "Is it related to us?"
Liu Baoluo said: "It doesn't matter, I'm just curious. What do you think of His Majesty and Yang Qianyue? What happened to them?"
She took out her two thumbs and made a touching motion.
Yan Ning coughed. Of course she knew what this action meant. She poked Liu Baoluo's face with her index finger: "Shameless."
Liu Baoluo smiled and said: "It's not me, why should I be ashamed? Tell me, are they really that kind of people?"
Yan Ning rolled her eyes: "How do I know?"
Liu Baoluo said: "Regardless of whether there is that or not, now that Yang Qianyue has been punished by His Majesty like this, she has really lost all her dignity."
Yan Ning thought to herself, isn't it? Yang Qianyue's kneeling down not only cost her face and dignity, but also her unique status in the heart of His Majesty Qi.
I just don’t know what Yang Qianyue did to make His Majesty Qi so angry.
Are the childhood sweethearts and pampering lovers of so many years in vain?
Yan Ning felt a little sad, and looked down on love and love even more. Men, no matter whether they are in a high position or a low position, they are a plague to women. The best way is to avoid them if you can.
Chen Yurong also heard about this incident. Unlike Yan Ning, Chen Yurong reacted indifferently. Chen Yurong was very surprised. She looked at Cai Huan: "Is this true?"
Cai Huan's voice was a bit gloating: "Back to your Majesty, it's true. As soon as I heard the news, I immediately asked someone to check it out. It's absolutely true. Last night, Concubine Yang wanted to be husband and wife with Your Majesty, but Your Majesty didn't.
After touching her, she returned to Yuyang Palace in the middle of the night. The next day, Concubine Yang went to see His Majesty, but was punished by His Majesty to kneel down."
She whispered: "Concubine Yang is very embarrassed this time. She gave your majesty medicine, but he didn't touch her. This seems to be different from what we imagined. It is said that your majesty loves Concubine Yang very much. He also treated Concubine Yang in the past.
She stayed overnight in the palace, thinking that she was the person closest to His Majesty.
But in my opinion, those so-called favors are all fake. His Majesty may not have touched her at all. Although he also stayed in her palace, it was no different from staying at the empress's place. Your Majesty slept with your Majesty, and she slept with her.
Hers.”
Chen Yurong was indeed a little envious of Yang Qianyue at first, but now he is not envious at all.
However, she originally wanted to use Yang Qianyue's different relationship with the king to deal with Yan Ning, but now she is afraid that she will not be able to do so.
Since Yang Qianyue is not so special, then her sharp weapon has lost its original sharpness.
Chen Yurong clicked his tongue and said: "She is the only one who dares to give His Majesty the medicine. She may be very confident about her position in His Majesty's heart, so she becomes more and more bold. However, she doesn't know that His Majesty treats her like that. If His Majesty really dotes on her and loves her,
I had a good time with her last night, so why would I want to punish her?"
She scoffed: "It feels like she is more overestimating her abilities than I am."
Since Yang Qianyue is no longer available, Chen Yurong has temporarily stopped thinking about dealing with Yan Ning. She is not in a hurry anyway and cannot deal with Yan Ning directly. She can deal with Yan Lang.
But to deal with Yan Lang, we have to wait for Yan Ning to leave and the king to leave.
This will have to wait.
Chen Yurong was not in a hurry and slowly waited for the fourth battle to come.
After Qi Hengyuan came down from the morning court, he went to have breakfast first, and then asked the prince to go to Yuyang Palace to send a message to spare Yang Qianyue the punishment of kneeling.
After Wang Gonggong brought the words, Xiangjie immediately stepped forward to help his mother-in-law and knelt for more than an hour. Her mother-in-law couldn't bear it anymore, her face was pale, her expression was sad, and her lips were bitten and bled.
Wang Eunuch looked at Yang Qianyue's miserable state and felt a little sorry. Originally, this person should be His Majesty's favorite and tenderhearted, but why did she do such a stupid thing?
His Majesty was not in the mood for love, so she secretly drugged him. She was so courageous.
Your Majesty is worried about losing land and has no mood to love. She is so bold. If your Majesty is interested in love in the future, then she can't drug him every day and pester him every day? How is this different from a demon concubine?
This kind of woman is really not suitable for the harem or His Majesty!
She only cares about her own enjoyment and does not know how to consider His Majesty's body and health, nor the importance of country and country.
Eunuch Wang took the time to ask someone to check what happened last night. He knew the whole story of last night and also knew that the maid who went out to buy rosemary was Xiang Jie. So Eunuch Wang gave Xiang Jie a cool look.
Your Majesty also has an oral order to put Xiangjie to death.
Of course, Your Majesty still felt sorry for Concubine Yang. He did not execute this servant openly for not knowing how to persuade his master. Instead, he executed her secretly. When Xiangjie died, he said that she died accidentally.
Yang Qianyue stood up tremblingly, feeling sad, hurt, and very regretful.
If she had known that what happened last night would not work out and made Brother Hengyuan so angry, she would not have done that.
Yang Qianyue asked weakly: "Eunuch, is your Majesty in the Yuxiong Hall?"
Eunuch Wang looked at her and sighed: "Concubine Yang, His Majesty has told you to go back to the palace to rest. Are you going to disobey His Majesty at this time?"
Eunuch Wang had never noticed before that Concubine Yang was so blind.
At this time, she should leave quietly and not see His Majesty!
Yang Qianyue was so aggrieved that she was about to cry again. She wanted to see Brother Hengyuan, go to him in person and apologize to him. She wanted to say that she would never do such a stupid thing again in the future.
However, brother Hengyuan didn't see her.
Yang Qianyue burst into anxious tears.
The prince was afraid that she would say something that would embarrass him, so he quickly left.
Yang Qianyue held Xiang Jie's wrist hard and stood slumped for a long time before turning around and returned to Fengyue Palace.
After closing the door, Yang Qianyue slapped Xiangjie on the face: "It was all your good idea!"
Yang Qianyue was angry, because she didn't succeed last night, because her brother Hengyuan punished her by kneeling for more than an hour, and because her brother Hengyuan annoyed her. She had a lot of grievances and unwillingness in her heart.
Okay, this slap is also very cruel.
Xiangjie fell directly to the ground, with a bloody five-fingerprint on her face.
But she didn't dare to complain, and immediately crawled to her knees, kowtowed and said: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. Don't be angry, my lady."
"How can I not be angry?"
Yang Qianyue was so angry that her internal organs were about to explode.
She was made to kneel in front of the main hall of Yuyang Palace in the morning, and now the news must have spread.
Then what kind of noble words will she have in the palace from now on?
Her unshakable position in brother Hengyuan's heart must also be questioned.
Yang Qianyue really regretted it to death. She lost her wife and lost her army. She didn't get any benefits, but made herself into a mess.
Yang Qianyue said coldly: "Kneel down for me until I calm down."
After saying this, Yang Qianyue went straight into the inner room.
After losing such a big face, she was too embarrassed to go out again. From that day on, she stayed in her Fengyue Palace.
After Yan Ning and Liu Baoluo finished gossiping, Liu Baoluo left.
Liu Baoluo went to pick out paintings and give them to the king.
Yan Ning asked Niandie to find Fu Huanghe, but Fu Huanghe was not on duty today and was not in the palace, so Niandie took Fu Huanghe's waist card and called several Golden Guards.
The Jin Guards went to Xixiangyuan and carried the two empty boxes back.
When Qi Hengyuan saw the two empty boxes, he said nothing and asked the prince to place them.
Yan Ning borrowed and repaid, and the matter was over.
Yan Ning had no paintings, but her third aunt opened a painting shop, which sold all paintings.
Yan Ning called Niandie and asked Niandie to leave the palace and buy a painting from Su Yingting's painting shop.
Niandie and Yan Ning have lived in the palace for a while and are very familiar with it.
Nian Die and Yan Ning have also lived outside the palace for a while, and are very familiar with it.
In the past, Niandie would not dare to let Niandie go out of the palace to buy things alone, but now, Niandie dares.
Niandie said: "Don't worry, beauty. I will go early and come back early. I will come back after buying the painting."
Nian Die has a waist card given to her by Fu Huang He. With that waist card, she can enter and leave the palace freely without restriction.
That day, Niandie had no choice but to accept the ivory hairpin given by Fu Huanghe, but after returning home, she took it off, kept it in the box, and never wore it again.
Niandie walked out of the palace and went to Su Yingting's painting shop. She bought a painting and hurried back.
Yan Ning got the painting, opened it and took a look. It was a picture of a fisherman sitting by the river fishing, and that river was called Jiang River.
Yan Ning raised her eyebrows, feeling that this painting had a profound meaning.
She asked Niandie: "Did my third aunt paint this painting temporarily?"
Nian Die shook his head: "No, it has already been painted. After I went there, I explained the purpose of buying the painting, and Miss Ning San gave this painting to me."
Then he asked: "Beauty, what's wrong with this painting?"
Yan Ning said: "It's nothing."
Maybe it was because there was bound to be a battle between Qi and Jiang, and the people of Qi were looking forward to Qi defeating Jiang again, so they copied this sentiment into the paintings when they were painting.
In any case, it is very suitable for her to give to the king as a gift.
Yan Ning repackaged the painting and went to find Liu Baoluo.
Liu Baoluo also chose the painting.
So the two men presented the painting to the king together.
On this day, those concubines in the harem who had not prepared gifts for the king also sent gifts one after another.
No one was left behind by Qi Hengyuan, and everyone received their gifts.
But he accepted it without even looking at it, and just let the prince and his father-in-law place it wherever he pleased.
He only kept Yan Ning's painting.
He opened the scroll and took a look at its contents.
Of course he also saw the fisherman and Jiang He who meant something.
Qi Hengyuan thought to himself, Yan Ning first wrote about hoeing, and now he also sent fishing for ginger, so he really understood his thoughts.
He gave her two gifts, and she returned him two gifts, so it was even.
I originally wanted to catch her and punish her last night, but now I don’t want to punish her anymore.
Qi Hengyuan put away the painting sent by Yan Ning and carefully reviewed the memorial.
In the evening, news of Xiangjie's death came.
At that time, Qi Hengyuan was going to bed. After hearing the news, he showed no expression on his face and only asked: "What was Yang Qianyue's reaction?"
The prince reported: "Concubine Yang was very sad and had Xiang Jie transported out for a grand burial. However, Xiang Jie's death had nothing to do with the slaves. She died before the slaves even took action."
Qi Hengyuan was a little surprised and asked: "How did Xiangjie die without you taking action?"
The king's father-in-law told the king what he heard.
It turns out that Xiangjie died of illness.
Due to special circumstances last night, Xiangjie almost didn't sleep all night. When she got up in the morning, Yang Qianyue learned that Elder Qi Heng had left long ago. When he left, he said "Wait for the medicine to take effect". These four words were enough.
Let Yang Qianyue understand that Qi Hengyuan has seen through everything.
So she came in a hurry.
She was worried that brother Hengyuan didn't touch her, but asked another woman to sleep with him.
She rushed to Heng Yuan's brother when he was going to court in the morning just to block that woman.
Fortunately, Brother Hengyuan did not announce his goodbye to the woman, which made her feel at ease a lot.
However, her brother Hengyuan did not touch anyone else, nor did he touch her, which gave her the illusion that in brother Hengyuan's mind, there was not much difference between her and other women.
The only difference is probably that she and he grew up and have a little more friendship.
But that friendship is not love.
Yang Qianyue was punished to kneel, and Xiangjie naturally followed suit.
After returning, Yang Qianyue was angry and made Xiangjie kneel down for another day without giving her food or water.
It wasn't until Xiangjie collapsed on her knees that she was sent back to her room.
In the afternoon, Xiangjie started to have a high fever, which became worse in the evening.
After Qi Hengyuan heard the cause of Xiangjie's death, he remained silent for a long time.
In fact, even if he didn't sleep all night and knelt for so long, he would not die so easily. As long as he lived well, he could still recover his body. It was just because Yang Qianyue was angry and did not care about Xiangjie's life and death that he wasted his time.
The best time to treat Xiangjie was lost, and Xiangjie died just like that.
Qi Hengyuan closed his eyes and waved his hand towards the prince: "I understand, let's get down."
Qi Hengyuan lay on the bed, stretched out his hand to touch the peace charm he wore around his neck, and slowly felt the depression in his heart dissipate.
He executed Xiang Jie, and Yang Qianyue tortured Xiang Jie to death, which are completely different concepts.
When he issued the order to execute Xiang Jie, he thought that Yang Qianyue would be sad and sad. After all, Xiang Jie was her personal maid and followed her from the Yang Mansion to the palace.
Although she is a servant, she should also have a sisterly relationship.
He thought about how he would tell Yang Qianyue how harmful it would be to keep such a palace maid by her side if she came to him to cry.
Now, there is nothing to say.
She herself killed her maid.
