C321 The true appearance of love

The Empress had not seen the Emperor for five days, which was probably the longest time they had been apart since their marriage. The Empress stood at the edge of the pillars, looking up at the heavy eaves. The glazed roof reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight, making it somewhat eye-piercing.

There was only a small spring palace between the Emperor's Chengde Hall and hers, and it would only take fifteen minutes to walk there. But at such a close distance, the Emperor did not have the time to come visit her, so he did not come, nor did he send anyone to greet her. He used such a cold and indifferent method to express the dissatisfaction in his heart. Regardless of whether she had an affair with the Prince Chu, those rumors had already struck a blow on the Nine-Five Sovereign King's fragile heart.

After the heavy snow, the days had passed, and her spirit seemed to have improved a little. If the Emperor didn't come, she could always go visit him. For the husband and wife pair, there were some matters where there was no point in blocking one's breath. It was better to make things clear face to face. The emperor was too petty, so he didn't explain it clearly, fearing that the emperor wouldn't be able to deal with him.

The snow on the road had been swept to the side, forming a white dam that looked like two long dragons from afar. The empress looked at the snow, and suddenly thought of Bai Qianfan, no matter how much she liked the snow, it was just a scenery to her. No matter how much she liked it, she couldn't go wild with her personality, but Bai Qianfan could, because she had the best husband in the world. That day at the Hokkaido, when she saw that Morong Gan kissed Bai Qianfan without avoiding others, she was extremely surprised. But how much did she love him?

She was also in love with the emperor, and apart from his patrols, there was not a single day where they did not see each other. However, every time she went to see him, she would feel a kind of fervor and anticipation in her heart. She believed that the Emperor loved her, too, and every time she fell ill he would frown and worry him more than the affairs of the land, and at night she coughed and the Emperor himself would dress and go down to pour water for her, and she would sleep badly and turn over and over and make the Emperor sleep too, and even then the Emperor would only watch over her.

He might really be very busy. At the end of the year, there were too many things for him to decide on, and she should not blame him. He was a diligent and good emperor.

It was not long before they reached it. The Empress walked up the steps as usual, and the eunuch at the door hurried forward to pay his respects.

Liu Fu asked, "Is Emperor here?"

"Yes," the eunuch replied. "Empress, wait a moment before I go report."

The empress was stunned. When would it be time for her to report to the Chengde Hall?

Liu Fu straightened his face, "Your dog eyes are blind. The Empress has never needed to report this to the Emperor …"

The empress raised a hand. "It's alright. The emperor probably has something on. Let him in to report."

While they were talking, Gao Shenghai came out, and with a smile on his face, he gave the empress a 'Qian'er'. "Empress, you're in high spirits today, if Your Majesty knew, he would definitely be overjoyed. However, "his voice changed," The Emperor has rested. It's best for the Empress to come again after a while.

The empress asked curiously, "It's not even time for lunch, why is the emperor resting already?"

"The emperor slept late last night, and got up early again. He felt tired, so he lay down." Gao Shenghai held the buddhist dust in his hands as he smiled and asked, "The Empress has matters to attend to, so this servant will pass on the message."

The empress said, "It's nothing much. I just came to see him. Since he's rested, I won't beat him up. Let him rest well."

She turned and walked slowly down the steps, full of eagerness, but she could only return in disappointment. The Emperor had been working day and night, and during the past five days he had been staying at the Refuge Palace, and every day he would report to the Emperor about his sleeping arrangements. He had always told her about it twice, and it was understandable that the Emperor would be more energetic in the middle of spring and autumn, but even an iron body would not be able to withstand this kind of night. The emperor is not a little brat, he should know the logic.

The empress sighed, coughed twice into her handkerchief, and a charming voice called out from behind her, "Why has the empress left?"

Although it was winter, she was not obese at all. Her peach satin robe was embroidered with goosebumps, she did not wear a cape, and there was a string of white jade beads around her waist. When she walked forward, the beads emitted a crisp sound, making her seem extremely charming. He then looked at himself again. Because he was afraid of the cold, he had put on several layers of cotton robes and a cloak. If it wasn't for the fact that he was quite tall, he would have been like a ball.

No matter how arrogant the Imperial Consort Bai was, she still had to have some form of courtesy, but that courtesy was as perfunctory as it could be. Seeing it, Yingchun and Liu Fu were furious, but they did not dare to be presumptuous.

The empress was still fairly calm. "Did he rest well when you came over from the emperor's place?"

Imperial Consort Bai had a bashful look on her face as she gently stroked the wrinkles on her clothes. "What are you resting for? I was waiting for you at night, so I called you over …" Daylight... It's a good thing that the empress dowager isn't here anymore, otherwise this concubine would have had to go and kneel by the Zi An Palace's entrance. "

These words were spoken with hesitation, but the meaning was too clear. No matter how well the empress recuperated, she couldn't control herself, and her face turned pale.

"Does the Empress feel any discomfort?" Imperial Consort Bai made a fuss about nothing as she said: "This face doesn't look good. Should I call Imperial Physician over to take a look?"

The empress tried her best to suppress the sweet taste rising in her throat as she composed herself. "Don't worry. It's been too long since I've come out that I'm a bit tired. It's time for me to go back."

"That's right. If the Empress isn't in good health, she won't walk around too much. Don't worry esteemed Empress, Your Majesty has a concubine here. This concubine will definitely serve Your Majesty well."

The Queen looked at the arrogant Imperial Consort Bai and sighed in her heart. At this moment, she finally revealed her true form. But, Emperor, how can you be bewitched by her? Loyalty and adultery, good and bad, can't you tell?

"Empress, take care, chenqie has come out to take a breather. We need to return immediately as well in order to prevent the emperor from looking for chenqie." After saying that, she tilted her body slightly and turned around to leave.

"Yuck!" Xi Chun spat at her in a low voice.

Liu Fu looked at the empress worriedly, "Empress, don't take it to heart. If you're really angry, you're going to fall into her trap. "

The empress forced a smile. "I know."

She took two steps and suddenly felt a sharp itch in her throat. She covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed hard.

With her sharp eyes, Yingchun saw that the snow-white handkerchief was dyed red and cried out in alarm, "Empress, what's wrong with you?"

The queen took the handkerchief in her hand, but the bright red on her lips could not fool anyone. She coughed up blood.

Liu Fu was also shocked, "Empress, hurry and ask Imperial Physician to come take a look."

"Don't panic, I'm fine," She straightened her chest and calmly said, "It's just a mouthful of blood, so I won't die yet."
