Chapter 157 Seeking each other
Perhaps because he saw Ruyi's misfortune, Ling Yunche really felt the same way and was anxious. Within a few days, he found an opportunity to go to Yanwan.
It was a beautiful spring day, and Yan Wan was in the mood to go for a walk in the Imperial Garden to stretch her body. When she came back, she saw a figure standing nearby.
"Master, it seems to be Lord Ling Yunche." Chunchan frowned subconsciously when she saw him, and her hand holding Yanwan tightened unconsciously.
Why is Ling Yunche always haunting me? He's as annoying as a dog-skin plaster.
If we were to say who in the palace hates Ling Yunche the most, Jinzhong would be ranked first, and Chunchan would definitely be ranked second.
Yan Wan had expected him to come. She curled her lips and gave Chun Chan a look with some disgust.
There are so many good times to choose, but why jump out when the spring is so beautiful? It's really a waste of the spring scenery and it makes people feel disgusted.
Chunchan understood what he meant and walked up to Ling Yunche and said a few words. Then the group walked to a deserted place.
When they arrived at a pavilion with few people and surrounded by rockery and trees, Yanwan asked the others who followed them to keep watch, leaving Chunchan alone.
"Stop, just say what you want to say. I'm the Emperor's concubine, so I have to avoid suspicion in everything. How did Lord Ling find the time to come to me? Could it be that he suddenly took the wrong medicine and wants to talk to me about his youth?"
Yan Wan was sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion. When she saw Ling Yunche raising his foot to walk toward the pavilion, she immediately stopped him.
Ling Yunche stopped abruptly, feeling faintly embarrassed after hearing her words. He awkwardly withdrew his steps and stood there in a daze.
The midday sun was extremely scorching, and soon sweat began to appear on his forehead.
Even though he felt embarrassed, it was for the Empress who was as bright as the moon in his heart, and he thought about how miserable she had been these days.
Ling Yunche thought about it again and again, and finally spoke.
"I would like to ask Her Majesty the Concubine Ling for a favor..."
"Let's talk and listen."
A gleam of light flashed in Yanwan's eyes, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her face.
"The Emperor ordered the Thirteenth Prince to be sent to Prince Yan's residence for education, but he did not tell the Empress the reason. The Emperor suddenly did this, and something must have happened in between. Now, Empress Ling is the most favored in the palace. Please help the Empress meet the Emperor so that she can find out the reason." Ling Yunche bowed slightly.
Hearing his tone, Yan Wan couldn't help but sneer.
Sensing Ling Yunche's inquiring expression, she suppressed her sarcasm and said slowly, "Lord Ling really overestimates me. No matter how much the Emperor favors me, I don't have the ability to influence his thoughts. Besides, why is it Lord Ling who comes to ask for help regarding the Empress's affairs? What is your relationship? Why should I help you? What good will it bring to me?"
A series of questions left Ling Yunche stunned.
Feeling Yan Wan's teasing gaze, Ling Yunche was at a loss and felt his cheeks burning.
"The Queen has supported me, please..."
"Why should I help her for her support? Ling Yunche? Do you think you have any respect in my place?"
Yan Wan couldn't wait to interrupt him. Seeing him choked and speechless when he was being challenged, Yan Wan felt refreshed.
Before Ling Yunche could answer, Yan Wan continued to humiliate him, "The Emperor is the master, and the rest of you are servants. Whatever the master wants, the servants will bear with it. Let the Empress be patient. Aren't you the best at making others bear with it? What's the matter? Now that it's your turn, you can't bear it anymore?"
Yan Wan sneered, her smile was so charming that the spring colors blooming in the garden could not compare to her peerless beauty at that moment.
When Ling Yunche heard this, he thought that Yan Wan still blamed him for not being able to rescue her from Qixiang Palace in time.
He made up his mind and completely put aside his attitude in order to help Ruyi: "It is this humble minister who wants to ask the Concubine Ling. It has nothing to do with the Empress. As long as the Concubine Ling can lend a hand today, I will repay the Concubine Ling's kindness even if I have to work like a slave."
Ling Yunche bowed and hunched his body humbly, without any trace of his usual straight back and high-spirited look.
Seeing his humiliating and cowardly appearance, Yan Wan's smile grew wider, but her heart was filled with disdain.
She turned her head and looked at Chunchan with a disdainful smile.
She raised her hand charmingly to adjust the loose jasmine velvet flowers on the flag, and said leisurely, "Lord Ling, you don't often ask for favors, do you? This attitude is a bit too high. What's the matter? Do I look so easy to talk to? Lord Ling may have been in office for many years. It's okay if he can't distinguish his own feelings, but he should at least be able to distinguish between superiors and inferiors, right?"
