"Reward!"
Jun Wuyuan's eyes and brows were filled with pleasure. "Reward them handsomely!"
He found that he just loved to hear such nice words.
Just listening to these blessings that linked him with Shan Shan made him feel extremely happy.
"Your humble servant thanks Your Majesty for the reward!"
Jun Wuyuan waved his hand, looking extremely amiable. "Take the reward money and ask the Imperial Clothing Bureau to make several sets of clothes. Choose the most expensive fabrics. Charge it to my private account."
Liang Jiusi grinned. "Your humble servant thanks Your Majesty for the generous reward. I will surely not let Your Majesty down."
Hehe, he could make new, beautiful and luxurious clothes.
"Get up."
Jun Wuyuan's tone was gentle, and it was not hard to hear the pleasure in his voice. "What happened last night?"
Liang Jiusi stood up abruptly and vividly recounted what had happened at Chunshan Ke Wang.
Jun Wuyuan's long fingers tapped on the imperial desk. His already pleasant and handsome face now showed an even broader smile.
"They were just two dead heads. Was that enough to scare the Virtuous Concubine into fainting? What a useless fool who can never accomplish anything but always mess things up."
Jun Wuyuan sneered. "The Empress Dowager must be bored during her illness. How could I, as her son, sit idly by? Tell the Empress Dowager all about the Virtuous Concubine's 'fun' last night so that she can recuperate well."
Liang Jiusi immediately understood. "Your Majesty, don't worry. Your humble servant knows what to do."
They couldn't let outsiders know that last night was actually the "wedding night" of His Majesty and Miss Ling Shan.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be an embarrassment to all those previous acts of "favoritism" that were all fakes?
The Empress Dowager was not easy to deceive, so this act couldn't be exposed too early.
Anyway, it was the Virtuous Concubine who had caused this mess on her own initiative, so it was only right for the Empress Dowager to hear about it.
Jun Wuyuan suppressed his excitement. After dealing with several urgent secret letters, he couldn't wait to head to the sleeping quarters.
As he walked, he didn't forget to order that more nourishing dishes be prepared for breakfast.
A knowing smile immediately appeared on Liang Jiusi's face. He proudly reported one delicious dish after another that were carefully selected to nourish the body, replenish qi and blood, and strengthen the kidneys.
Jun Wuyuan's lips curled up, but he quickly pursed them.
He gave Liang Jiusi, who was smiling like a flower, a cold look. "Charge it to your own private account at the Imperial Clothing Bureau!"
Are you kidding me?
Did he need any kidney - nourishing dishes or soups?
This old fellow Liang Jiusi was really being too smart for his own good.
Liang Jiusi: "..." Ah?
Did his reward just fly away?
Your Majesty, he was just thinking about long - term health. It was better to start nourishing early than late, right?
It was all out of his loyal heart to protect his master.
He definitely had no intention of doubting His Majesty's manliness at all.
He was so wronged.
Liang Jiusi silently cried out in his heart, but he could only watch His Majesty's broad and mighty back getting farther and farther away.
In order not to anger His Majesty again, Liang Jiusi turned in another direction and quickly went to destroy those kidney - nourishing soups.
What if those soups appeared on the table later and His Majesty went crazy and made him eat them all?
Just thinking about it made his hair stand on end. He couldn't bear it.
Jun Wuyuan was in an extremely good mood today and didn't think of such a cruel punishment for the time being.
He walked into the sleeping quarters as lightly as the wind. A rich and fragrant smell filled his nostrils.
It was the unique scent of Ling Shan, with a hint of sweet and soft fragrance, which made him couldn't help but recall the passionate entanglement of last night.
The closer he got to the bed, the darker Jun Wuyuan's eyes became.
Quietly, he lifted the bed curtain and stealthily got onto the bed like a "flower thief".
On the wide dragon bed, a fair and snow - like little face was buried in the soft brocade quilt, with only a small part of the side face showing.
Her delicate and charming lips opened and closed like a fresh and delicious flower, emitting an alluring fragrance that tempted people to bow down and sink deeper and deeper.
"Damn tyrant—"
A murmur full of resentment escaped her lips, which easily softened Jun Wuyuan's heart and made him curl his lips.
"Worse than a beast—"
Jun Wuyuan's lips curled up in a pleased arc. He hooked a strand of her black hair with his finger and wound it around and around.
It was as if the strands of affection were winding around his desolate and cold heart.
Jun Wuyuan's eyes and brows were smiling. There was not a trace of his previous coldness and tyranny. It was like the ice and snow were melting, and spring had arrived.
She was lying on her side on the bed in a small ball. Her extremely beautiful and eye - catching face made him unable to look away. Her long and thick eyelashes cast a small shadow on her cheek. Her cheek rubbed against the quilt from time to time. She was so cute.
Jun Wuyuan had never thought that one day, just looking at her like this would make his soul feel a sense of comfort and satisfaction.
A loving couple can be content with just water.
He thought that he would be full even without drinking water.
*
With a loud slap.
A bright red palm print immediately appeared on Wang Chengbi's pale face after staying up all night.
The ill Empress Dowager got up from the bed without caring about her health and slapped Wang Chengbi, who had been brought back by the palace servants, to the ground.
The palace servants in the hall were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground and didn't dare to make a single sound.
Wang Chengbi was also stunned for a moment. She lay on the ground and didn't dare to look at the Empress Dowager.
Why was this happening?
Last night, that bitch Ling Shan should have been defiled and then become a slut for everyone to take advantage of.
Why was she unharmed and even taken back to Jiuzhou Qingyan by His Majesty, while the people she had hired were hanging dead with unwilling looks on their faces at the head of her bed?
Your Majesty, why were you so cruel to her?
Why didn't you even look at her once?
Wang Chengbi felt as if someone was tightly clutching her heart. A mixture of hatred, unwillingness, and fear welled up inside her.
"Aunt..."
"Shut up!"
The Empress Dowager was really ill. She had had two miscarriages when she was young, and her health had already been damaged.
Every time the seasons changed, she would always fall ill, either seriously or slightly, for a long or short period.
This time, perhaps due to bad luck this year. After the Luoshui incident, the Wang family's power had been damaged, and the Empress Dowager had been angry several times.
When they came to the palace this time, with the change of cold and hot weather, the Empress Dowager fell ill.
Unexpectedly, just because she didn't attend one night, this stupid girl had caused trouble again.
"Didn't I warn you not to lay a hand on Ling Shan again?"
The Empress Dowager's voice carried a cold and murderous intent, directly aimed at Wang Chengbi without any concealment.
Wang Chengbi's body immediately stiffened for a moment. The great fear forced out physiological tears from her eyes.
She was really scared.
The look in the Empress Dowager's eyes at this moment didn't seem like a joke. It seemed that she really would kill her.
But why?
If it weren't for the Wang family, how could her aunt have become the queen and then the empress dowager?
Why did she have to bypass her and let that bitch get close to His Majesty and give birth to a prince?
She, Wang Chengbi, was the most noble woman of the Wang family. She came into the palace not to be stepped on by a low - born slave.
And not to be scolded and beaten by the Empress Dowager.
From today on, the Empress Dowager was no longer her aunt!
They were enemies!
