Chapter 137 The Queen Mother has ascended the throne as the Emperor
"Master, Master."
Jin Yuyan was distracted for a moment as she was thinking about how to deal with the dilemma. Li Xin came from a distance and called her for a long time, but she didn't hear a word.
Jin Yuyan was not very impatient.
"Why are you howling? If it's not something that can help you deal with the Queen, there's no need to speak."
Coincidentally, what Li Xin was talking about was exactly about Ruyi.
Then he whispered in Jin Yuyan's ear.
What Li Xin said made Jin Yuyan's brows frown and relax several times.
At last, Jin Yuyan said excitedly:
"The Queen is so brave. Now I have a way to go to Mulan Paddock."
The next day after Jin Yuyan came up with the plan, she asked Zhenshu to report to Ruyi that she had caught a cold at night and was unable to see anyone.
When Ruyi heard the news, she just thought that Jin Yuyan couldn't hold it in because she had eaten too much. And as Yingpin happened to enter the palace, she didn't care about Jin Yuyan for a while.
The annual Mulan Autumn Hunt began when Jin Yuyan was sick.
On this day, after the emperor, Noble Concubine Ke and Concubine Ying had spent a day riding and shooting, Yan Wan invited the emperor to go to the hot spring to relax.
"Master Ling, the Emperor is coming soon. I think Concubine Jia will be here soon too."
Jinzhong came in advance to inform Yanwan of the news and make plans for tonight.
Yanwan slowly threw rose petals into the hot spring.
"okay, I get it."
Jinzhong was naturally relieved about Yanwan, and was about to leave as he spoke.
Unexpectedly, the corner of his clothes was grabbed by Yan Wan.
"Does this dress look good on me tonight?"
Although Jinzhong was surprised that Yanwan suddenly grabbed him, he still looked at Yanwan seriously and prepared to reply to Yanwan's words that had nothing to do with tonight.
"The purple-red gauze dress is very eye-catching under the lights at night. The emperor will be unable to take his eyes away when he comes."
"It's just that your hair got messed up when you lowered your head just now."
Jinzhong said this without stopping his hands, and carefully fixed Yanwan's hair.
After finishing everything, he turned around and prepared to go outside to meet the emperor.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his foot, Yan Wan hooked his waist again.
Jinzhong had no time to respond to Yanwan's enthusiasm because the emperor was less than ten meters away from Jinzhong.
"Master, I will play with you later. The Emperor will be here soon."
Jinzhong was a little anxious. Even though there was a curtain behind him and the emperor could not see Yanwan, he would be able to see her if he took a few steps closer.
"I know the emperor is coming."
As Yan Wan spoke, she was in no hurry to withdraw her hand that was hooked around Jinzhong. Instead, she took a step closer and leaned close to Jinzhong through the soft curtain.
She asked him softly in a voice that both of them could hear.
"Doesn't Eunuch Jinzhong like this feeling?"
Jinzhong felt both enjoyment and fear.
Before Jinzhong could respond to Yanwan, the emperor arrived.
"Why are you here?"
"I was just asking whether Her Majesty Ling Fei needs to use wormwood to ward off insects. There are still mosquitoes in autumn.
If you get bitten accidentally, it can be fatal."
Jinzhong's heart was pounding in his throat.
He almost lost half his life at the hands of Yan Wan, the "little drug addict".
"Oh."
The emperor did not notice anything wrong with Jinzhong.
Before Jinzhong left, he wanted to take a sneak peek at Yanwan.
After teasing him, this "little drug addict" took advantage of the moment the emperor stepped into the door to let go of his hand.
Yan Wan knew Jin Zhong's reaction was normal. She met Jin Zhong's gaze and said to him:
"Eunuch Jinzhong, please find some good mugwort. Otherwise, we may not be able to kill these "little poisonous insects."
Faced with such provocation from Yan Wan, what could Jinzhong do? Of course he had to pamper his own beauty.
Jinzhong answered yes obediently and retreated.
Yanwan changed the emperor's clothes and helped him take a bath.
Not long after the emperor entered the hot spring, footsteps were heard outside.
She heard unfamiliar footsteps, and Yanwan knew it wasn't Jinzhong.
"Eunuch Jinzhong, you're bringing the mugwort so soon..."
"Ah, Concubine Jia."
Yan Wan was so frightened that she staggered. The emperor, who had his eyes closed to rest, was also shocked to see Jin Yuyan, who was dressed as a palace maid.
"Didn't the Queen say you were sick? Why are you here?
Even if you came, you shouldn't come so blatantly."
There were only a few people serving the emperor. Although the emperor was surprised by Jin Yuyan's arrival, he was not very surprised.
Jin Yuyan saw that the emperor had no intention of blaming her, so she knelt down and shouted boldly:
"Your Majesty, I am not disturbing your bath, but I have discovered something that I have to tell you.
I came to Mulan Paddock today, and I don’t know if I will be able to return to the palace tomorrow.”
"What on earth happened to Concubine Jia that she is so panicked?"
Yanwan cooperated by looking frightened.
Jin Yuyan kowtowed to the emperor and said:
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that what I am going to say next may offend Your Majesty, but I really have to say it."
The emperor was anxious and impatient.
"What's going on? If you don't want to talk about it, then there's no need to talk about it."
Jin Yuyan quickly said yes and stated what she wanted to say.
"I have been feeling unwell and uneasy these days, so I thought of going to the Yuanmingyuan Buddhist temple to worship the Bodhisattva.
Who would have thought that day I would accidentally see the Empress celebrating the birthday of Concubine Li. "
The three words "Li Taipin" made the emperor freeze.
"Who is Li Taipin?
Why did the Queen want to celebrate Concubine Li's birthday again? "
Yan Wan's questioning made the emperor's face even darker, and he stayed in the water motionless.
I didn't expect that after so many years, Ruyi is still so stupid.
When Ruyi rashly mentioned the matter of posthumously conferring a title on Li Jingui, it was because the emperor had gone a long way to honor the empress dowager and reward the concubines and imperial concubines in the palace, only then did he give the long-dead Li Jingui the title of imperial concubine.
The emperor thought that the matter was over, but he never expected that Ruyi would secretly celebrate Li Jingui's birthday.
"Ling Fei, you have served the emperor for a short time, and I don't know why. Concubine Li is the emperor's biological mother.
Concubine Li was unlucky. She died right after giving birth to the emperor."
"Let me say something damning. The late emperor's concubine, Li Taipin, was of low birth and almost brought trouble to the late emperor. It's really not good."
"Originally, we shouldn't know about such private matters, but it was the Queen who insisted on asking the Emperor to give Concubine Li a position when he first ascended the throne. That's when we found out the reason."
"This matter has already made the Queen Mother and the Emperor very embarrassed, but the Emperor is not an unfaithful or unfilial person, and he has done a perfect job. Naturally, no one dared to publicize the royal family's private secrets, and no one mentioned this matter again."
"Who would have thought that after so many years, the Queen would do something like this again."
Jin Yuyan's heart-wrenching explanation made Yanwan tremble all over.
"How can the Queen be worthy of the Queen Mother by doing this? And how can the Emperor face the Queen Mother?"
Ruyi's action clearly states that the emperor is Li Jingui's son, and Li Jingui is the emperor's biological mother.
Even the Queen Mother is not worthy.
"presumptuous!"
The emperor was really angry.
But Jin Yuyan's complaint was not over yet.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. If it was just for this matter, I wouldn't have come here.
Her Majesty the Queen is truly bold and presumptuous.
The emperor doesn’t know.
The Queen has ascended the throne as the Emperor."
