Chapter 77(1/2)
"I obey the order." Zhang Jin looked up at Chu Yanzi, but he didn't expect that Zhen Xiuyi could really take the emperor for dinner at this time. He seemed to have to re-evaluate the position of Zhen Xiuyi and Bao Zhaoyi in the emperor's heart.
After hearing Zhang Jin's answer, Emperor Yong held Chu Yanzi and tightened the cloak on her body, with some concern and a slight distress on his face, "I will accompany you to have a meal."
Chu Yanzi nodded obediently and smiled sweetly at Emperor Yong, which made people feel heartbroken. He leaned in Emperor Yong's arms to prepare to go back to his tent with Emperor Yong.
Liuzhu looked at Emperor Yong in disbelief and was about to leave. In the past, her master had a small cold, and Emperor Yong would never leave. Now her little master is in his life. The emperor is still concerned about whether Zhen Xiuyi has eaten such a small matter, and he can't help but speak out.
"Your Majesty! My little master is still in danger. Does the emperor care about my little master?"
Emperor Yong turned cold when he heard Liu Zhu's words, but before he could speak, Chu Yanzi sneered and retorted, "You slave, how did the emperor worry about Bao Zhaoyi's injury just now? Have you forgotten all the time? Now I feel sorry for the emperor that he has not eaten for a day, and you have stopped him. What do you think?"
Listening to Chu Yanzi's improper words and distorting her meaning, Liu Zhu's face changed and she was about to refute, "Zhen Xiuyi, why do you have to distort my words? I don't have this meaning."
Chu Yanzi didn't care about her words and looked at her lightly, "Oh? Then what do you mean?"
"I... I am just worried about the safety of the little master. Zhen Xiuyi's words just now are a bit serious."
Chu Yanzi broke free from Emperor Yong's arms, walked towards Liuzhu, and looked at her condescendingly, "The safety of Bao Zhaoyi? The imperial physician is here to take care of him. What's the use of the emperor here? Could it be that the emperor can still make Bao Zhaoyi heal immediately?"
Seeing Liuzhu trying to refute but not knowing how to refute, Chu Yanzi lowered her body and picked up Liuzhu's chin, making her look at her, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but it was full of sarcasm.
"And, whether this palace's words are serious is not your turn, it's not your turn, a small slave. If the Japanese palace is in a bad mood and punishes you, even if Bao Zhaoyi wakes up, he will not be able to make a decision."
This sentence was to mocking Li Guiren who was punished that day. He let go of her chin. Chu Yanzi walked back to Emperor Yong, and then looked at her and said the last sentence, "Master's business is not something you slave can interrupt."
Seeing her face turned pale and a little bit green, Chu Yanzi let her go and didn't continue talking.
Liu Zhu did not dare to contradict Chu Yanzi anymore, so she had to turn her eyes to Emperor Yong. After all, she could see what Emperor Yong had for her little master. After all, she was also the little master's personal maid. If she didn't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, even for the sake of the master, the emperor would not allow Zhen Xiuyi to treat him like this.
Emperor Yong raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Yanzi. Seeing her clever appearance, especially when she raised Liuzhu's chin just now, she should have been displeased with her domineering appearance, but it made his eyes lit up and his heart moved.
Looking at Liuzhu's face was pale, but she kept looking at him, obviously wanting to make decisions. His feelings for Bao Zhaoyi cannot make him feel loving the house and the mistress for her maid.
Since Chu Yanzi had warned her, Emperor Yong no longer had the intention to talk to her. He took Chu Yanzi over and stopped going and did not look at Liuzhu again.
Looking at Emperor Yong's expression when he looked at him, he knew that he had no intention of blame for him. Faced with the situation where he could easily pull Emperor Yong away, she was actually a little unexpected. Chu Yanzi raised an eyebrow in his heart. If she hadn't been able to check the favorability of the target person to others, she was really curious about how much Emperor Yong had for Bao Zhaoyi.
"Your Majesty, let's go." Chu Yanzi raised his head slightly and said to Emperor Yong, with a little displeasure left by talking to Liu Zhu just now.
"Yeah." Emperor Yong withdrew his gaze and met Chu Yanzi's expression of displeasure. His eyes softened, and he hugged her and walked slowly outside.
After they went out, the Liuzhu in the tent could vaguely hear the emperor say,
"...Don't be angry, but a slave, killing is not your business. It's not worth it if you get angry..."
"...Hmph, it's not because he is Bao Zhaoyi's slave. He has to rely on his master to beat a dog..."
The two of them gradually walked away and could not hear the voice, but just these two sentences were enough to scare Liuzhu to the point of being frightened. She endured the fear in her heart and walked to her little master, hoping that the master would wake up quickly. If the master was there, Zhen Xiuyi would not dare to be so arrogant.
Thinking of this, Liuzhu's tears scattered, not only because he was worried about Bao Zhaoyi's safety, but also because if the master had something to do, what should they do? Liuzhu wiped his tears. No, no, the little master has his own appearance, and there will be no trouble!
Zhang Jin, who was beside him, looked at Liu Zhu's behavior and lowered his eyes. Whoever is favored by these concubines or who is not favored has nothing to do with him. As long as he serves the emperor well, that's enough.
Although the environment was simple, Emperor Yong's food was still rich. However, even though the imperial chef made flowers for the food, Emperor Yong was not in much mood to eat. He agreed to Chu Yanzi to come out for food, but he was just worried about Chu Yanzi's body and wanted her to eat some. After all, Bao Zhaoyi is in danger now, so he couldn't be in a hurry.
Looking at the sadness that could not be eliminated on Emperor Yong's face, Chu Yanzi frowned slightly, but did not say anything about flowers. He looked at Emperor Yong with concern, with a little sadness and sadness on his eyebrows. He smiled reluctantly at Emperor Yong, curled his emotions, lowered his head slightly, and said to Emperor Yong,
"If the emperor is really worried about Bao Zhaoyi, he doesn't have to force him to come out with me." Look, she also understands that Emperor Yong came out just for her, but after she said that, can you go back?
Seeing the gloomy face on Chu Yanzi, Emperor Yong paused in his heart, frowned and said to her, "You have been thinking about it. When did I force it? Get some food quickly, have you been hungry long ago?"
Chu Yanzi didn't say anything, lowered his head and served with food, which obviously accelerated his speed so that Emperor Yong could go back to visit Bao Zhaoyi earlier.
Looking at her informed and reasonable look, Emperor Yong didn't feel any relaxed in his heart, but instead became even more depressed and a little sad. She was thinking about herself, but she cared so much about other women in front of her, and she would definitely not feel good.
Emperor Yong's eyes flashed with regret. None of his promises to her seemed to have been fulfilled. Every time she made her so sad. Before she knew it, Emperor Yong's mind was full of scenes of himself hurting Chu Yanzi.
"Cough cough..." Just when Emperor Yong was distracted, Chu Yanzi couldn't help but choked because he was eating too fast and coughed desperately.
Emperor Yong came to his senses and frowned when he saw her appearance. He quickly helped her to smooth her back. He said with a little distress and blame, "What can I do when I eat so quickly?" As he said, he took the water handed over by Bai Hua.
Chu Yanzi lowered his head and did not raise it up. He said clearly, "I am afraid that the emperor will rush to go back to visit Bao Zhaoyi, so I dare not waste the emperor's time."
Hearing a crying voice in her voice, Emperor Yong paused, reached out and held up her chin, making her look up. It was very similar to Chu Yanzi's movement that had just lifted Liuzhu's chin, but it was much gentler.
Looking at the tears on her face, Emperor Yong felt ache in his heart. He stood up and picked up a handkerchief to wipe her tears. He lowered his voice, revealing the gentleness he didn't know, and coaxed him softly, "Ayan, stop crying, I feel sorry for you when I look."
Chu Yanzi bit her lower lip tightly, opened her eyes wide and kept looking at Emperor Yong, crying silently, tears kept flowing. After a while, Chu Yanzi spoke, but his eyes and tone were all confused.
"Your Majesty, is Ayan too greedy?"
Emperor Yong was stunned by her expression, and when he heard what she asked, he felt sore and sore in his heart. He sat down and looked at her straight, and looked at her eyes as he kept following him, just like a lost deer in the forest. Emperor Yong smiled and comforted her.
"How could it be?" Ayan, you are not greedy. I would rather you want to climb up, rather you want power and power, even in that position, than you like this, and it will make me feel distressed if you don't fight or ask for it.
"When Ayan first entered the palace, he thought that as long as he could be with the emperor, but Ayan could be with the emperor often. He thought that it would be if the emperor could also like Ayan. Now that the emperor favors Ayan so much, Ayan greedily hopes that the emperor only likes Ayan and only favors Ayan."
Chu Yanzi covered his face in pain and said in disgust, "How can I be so greedy? Your Majesty, it's Ayan who is too greedy."
Listening to her words, Emperor Yong remembered what she said that day. Emperor Yong's eyes were slightly warm, and his fingertips wiped off her tears. Seeing her being soft and soft, even blaming herself for wanting to like her, Emperor Yong felt that his heart was melted.
"Ayan, you can be a little more greedy."
After hearing Emperor Yong's words, Chu Yanzi raised his head and looked at him, as if he hadn't reacted to what Emperor Yong said at all. Then he said with some uncertainty and surprise, "Really?"
Emperor Yong's expression softened, his tone became more gentle, and he answered her seriously, "Really."
Chu Yanzi burst into tears and laughed like a lotus, which made people unable to take their eyes off. Seeing her smiling, Emperor Yong felt relieved, and then a smile appeared on his face. Seeing that the food was still a little hot, he sighed, and felt helpless towards the crybag.
"Eat a meal soon, the food is going to be cold."
"Um."
Chu Yanzi opened his eyes a little embarrassedly, dodged his eyes, with a little shyness at the corner of his eyes, responded, lowered his head to have a meal, and still lowered his head to have a quick meal. The atmosphere did not feel the same as before, but instead felt an indescribable warmth.
After spending the meal with Chu Yanzi, Emperor Yong did not rush back to visit Bao Zhaoyi. Chu Yanzi was right. Even if he went back now, Bao Zhaoyi would not wake up immediately, but having a baby would be secretly sad.
Emperor Yong may not have realized the change in his attitude. If it were five years ago, even if Bao Zhaoyi had a small fever, he would have to keep guarding her and take care of her with no clothes. Now, Bao Zhaoyi is very likely to never wake up again. He would have taken into account Chu Yanzi's mood, which shows that his feelings for Bao Zhaoyi are far inferior to those before.
However, he always thought that he liked Bao Zhaoyi. This idea had been in his heart for six years. Brainwashing himself for such a long time was almost becoming an obsession. Of course, he could not recognize his true feelings for Bao Zhaoyi overnight.
Of course, Emperor Yong accompanied Chu Yanzi, and it was midnight. When Chu Yanzi was sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard crying outside and the angry rebukes from Bai Hua.
He stretched out his back and rubbed his eyes. He was about to sit up in a daze. He opened his eyes slightly and saw Emperor Yong sitting beside the bed. Seeing that she was awake, Emperor Yong frowned, "Are you awake?"
Chu Yanzi finally realized what was going on at this time. He realized that something might have happened to Bao Zhaoyi, and immediately woke up, "Well, yours, is it Bao Zhaoyi's side..."
"I don't know yet." Emperor Yong shook his head. He had just heard the movement outside and didn't know what was going on.
Chu Yanzi knew that Emperor Yong must be anxious now, thinking about the sound of Bai Hua just now, he shouted,
"White painting!"
Bai Hua was outside stopping Liuzhu from breaking in. When he heard the call of his little master, he hurriedly walked in. Before entering, he still let Bai Lu guard outside. Zhang Jin was also the one who came in with Bai Hua.
Emperor Yong did not say anything, Zhang Jin walked up to dress him. Chu Yanzi frowned and asked Bai Hua, "What's going on outside? It's so noisy."
Bai Hua curled her lips and tried her best to speak in a calm tone, but she was still a little angry.
"When I go back to the Empress, Bao Zhaoyi's maid Liu Zhu outside, insisted on breaking in. I told her that the emperor and the Empress had already rested, and waited for me to report it before letting her in. But she refused and insisted on breaking in. I dared not let her come in like this. I stopped her in a hurry and she made a big fuss outside."
After hearing Bai Hua's words, Chu Yanzi frowned, very dissatisfied with Liu Zhu's lack of eyes, but blamed Bai Hua on his face, "Bai Hua, you are really! Maybe it was because Bao Zhaoyi's incident that Liu Zhu was so anxious, just let her come in."
Chu Yanzi was behind Emperor Yong. Emperor Yong could not see her expression, but Bai Hua could see clearly. Seeing his master raised his eyebrows at him, Bai Hua immediately pursed his lips and said aggrievedly, "I just wanted to inform the emperor and the empress first and let the empress put on her clothes, but she couldn't even wait for time."
Emperor Yong looked at Zhang Jin and saw Zhang Jin nodding, saying that Bai Hua did not say anything. Emperor Yong's face became dark and stopped Chu Yanzi from blaming Bai Hua for saying, "Okay, A Yan, don't blame her. She did it right. No matter how big the matter happened, he should not want to break in without any distinction."
Listening to Emperor Yong's words, Chu Yanzi followed the boat and said nothing more. He just wanted to prevent Emperor Yong from blaming Bai Hua, so he spoke first. He did it for Emperor Yong to show it to Emperor Yong, and asked Emperor Yong to personally say that it was nothing to her business. Even if something happened to Bao Zhaoyi later, he would not take his anger on Bai Hua.
"Yes, I'll listen to the emperor. Forget it this time, but next time you have to distinguish the priorities of the matter."
Chu Yanzi first spoke up to Emperor Yong's words, and then said something to Bai Hua.
"Yes, I know."
"Okay, why don't you let Liuzhu come in quickly." Seeing that time had been delayed a lot, Chu Yanzi stopped delaying and spoke directly to let Bai Hua let someone in.
Liu Zhu came in soon, and Bai Hua and Bai Lu followed behind. Seeing Liu Zhu kneeling on the ground and crying, Bai Hua curled his lips obscurely, walked to Chu Yanzi, and waited for Chu Yanzi to get up. After all, he naturally could not sleep anymore at this time.
Chu Yanzi ignored Liuzhu and wore clothes with peace of mind. Bao Zhaoyi's affairs were naturally left to Emperor Yong to handle.
After Liu Zhu came in, she didn't even invite An. She knelt on the ground. Before the tears were dry, she said in a hurry, "Emperor, the empress can't get a high fever. The imperial physician said that this situation is very dangerous. I am really worried. Master, go and see the empress."
Hearing that Bao Zhaoyi had a high fever, Emperor Yong had no intention of pursuing her regardless of her superiority. Zhang Jingang changed his clothes and said to Chu Yanzi, "I'll go there first, don't worry." Then he hurried to Bao Zhaoyi.
Liu Zhu glanced at Bai Hua and Chu Yanzi, followed Emperor Yong and went back.
After Emperor Yong left, Chu Yanzi put on his clothes slowly, glanced at Bai Hua, knocked on her forehead lightly, scolded her slightly, "Why didn't you let Bai Lu stop her just now and come in to report?"
Bai Hua lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I just can't stand her appearance that her little master is the most favored in the world. A slave dares to contradict her, but I don't know who gave her the courage."
Chu Yanzi chuckled, knowing that she was holding on to her own, but Chu Yanzi still said, "If it weren't for her being a little impulsive this time, otherwise you would stop her today. What if Bao Zhaoyi had something to do, the emperor would spare you so easily?"
Bai Hua lowered her head and thought about it carefully, and knew that she was a little impulsive today. It would be fine if the emperor vented his anger. If she involved the little master, she would be punished and she would be dead, with some annoyance on her face.
Seeing that she knew where she was wrong, Chu Yanzi didn't continue to say that, and knocked Bai Lu on the forehead, causing Bai Lu to "Ouch", smiled at Chu Yanzi, and said,
"Master, I know I am wrong. I will definitely not be so impulsive next time."
Chu Yanzi had no choice but to do anything to her, so she shook her head and said, "When you want to vent your anger, remember to keep yourself first."
Knowing that Chu Yanzi was worried about their safety, Bai Hua and Bai Lu nodded, indicating that they knew, and warmth appeared in their eyes.
"Okay, let's go there too. It's not good to leave a message to others." Thinking that Emperor Yong should be waiting by Bao Zhaoyi's side anxiously at this time, Chu Yanzi raised his eyebrows and said slowly.
