Chapter 146: Unclear
Chapter 146: Unclear
Another ridiculous night passed.
This time, Yongzheng did not get up early for the first time.
He had just arrived at the Old Summer Palace and didn't have to attend court, so he could rest for a few days.
So when Luo Yao turned over and felt someone next to her, she was a little slow to react.
In the past, when she woke up, the room next to her should be empty.
She rubbed her eyes and saw Yongzheng lying beside her, still sleeping with his eyes closed.
His sleeping posture was very correct, he just lay flat and straight, just like he had been trained.
On the contrary, Luo Yao herself, not to mention her sleeping position, now one of her legs is pressed on the other's leg...
Luo Yao's eyes swept across his face, and she simply supported her head with one hand and just watched quietly.
His facial features are strong and his facial lines are very clear. Although there are some fine lines, they also show the charm of a mature man.
In addition, he has a well-trained body and looks like a handsome uncle.
She was thinking that the big fat guy in the original drama could make all the women in the harem crazy.
Now that Yongzheng has become taller and more handsome, wouldn't he attract more firepower?
Her position is still too low.
Luo Yao raised her slender hand and gently stroked his cheek with her fingers.
As expected, Yongzheng opened his eyes.
His expression was extremely clear, not at all like someone who had just woken up.
After all, ordinary people need to lie down for a while to relax after waking up.
Or your eyes may become sore and you can't open them at all.
When he saw it was her, the dangerous look in Yongzheng's eyes faded away, replaced by a lazy look.
"Why aren't you sleeping?"
Luo Yao didn't say anything, but just leaned forward and put her head on his chest.
Yongzheng narrowed his eyes, put his arm around her shoulders, and his fingers unconsciously stroked her smooth skin.
"Is it a nightmare?"
He continued to ask.
It's rare to see her show her vulnerable side, or was she frightened by what happened yesterday?
Luo Yao said faintly:
“Just thinking of some bad things.”
"Yesterday I almost never saw the emperor again."
She said she was afraid, but her lowered eyes were full of indifference.
She was sad, but she was pretending.
Yongzheng did not suspect anything and held the man even tighter.
"Xia Qia will soon come up with the results of the investigation, and I will give you an explanation then!"
Luo Yao hummed.
Then the two fell into silence, hugging each other and enjoying the rare tender moment.
However, a certain little hand was drawing circles on his chest dishonestly.
Yongzheng's body tensed up. This action was definitely adding fuel to the fire for him in the morning.
So the hand that was originally on her shoulder began to slowly slide down.
Luo Yao felt an itch on her waist and couldn't help but smile and tried to hide to the side.
“Haha, it’s so itchy…”
There was no way Yongzheng would let her run away, so he held her tightly in his arms.
It was soft and limp, as if he had no bones in his body.
"Really? Let me see where it is."
"Hmm, don't..."
The war is about to break out, so the following 2,000 words of detailed description are omitted.
...........................................
Outside.
Xia Qian looked at Su Peisheng who was blocking his way and frowned:
"What do you mean, Eunuch Su? We have already found out who is behind this. We need to report this to the Emperor immediately."
In fact, they had already interrogated him last night.
But considering that it was late at night, he gave up the idea of going to see the emperor immediately.
But it's already bright outside, the emperor should have woken up long ago.
Su Peisheng shook his head, looking mysterious.
"Commander Xia, you don't understand. If you report this to the emperor now, not only will you not gain any benefit, but you will be scolded instead."
Xia Qi's mind raced, and he had some vague guesses.
Following Su Peisheng's words, he asked:
"Please help me, Eunuch Su."
Su Peisheng grinned and said mysteriously:
"The Emperor is here with Concubine Chen, how could he possibly get up early?"
"If you go in now, reporting something would be a minor matter, but disturbing the emperor's interest would be a major problem!"
Xia Qian looked at him with some suspicion.
I think what he said is a bit exaggerated.
In his eyes, the emperor is still the diligent emperor who is devoted to state affairs.
How could one be so obsessed with beauty!
This is not the Emperor's style at all.
But Su Peisheng was always in the emperor's presence, so he knew more than himself.
In that case, let's wait. Anyway, he has ordered people to secretly control that place.
There shouldn't be any problems.
This wait is an hour.
Xia Qi's legs were numb from standing so long, and then the emperor's voice was heard immediately.
"Su Peisheng, go serve the meal."
This voice sounded different from usual, with a certain greediness.
You can tell from the moment you hear it that the emperor is in a good mood.
Under Xia Qi's gaze, Su Peisheng, who was originally dozing off, was startled and responded quickly.
"Whoo!"
Before the meal was ready, a large bucket of hot water was brought in.
Judging from the appearance of those young eunuchs, they seemed to be very familiar with this process.
After waiting for a long time, Xia Qian was finally called in.
As soon as he entered, he knelt down and saluted, not daring to look any further.
There was a faint scent of heather in the room, and no matter how dumb he was, he knew what had just happened in there.
"Your Majesty, I have already found the mastermind behind this. This is his confession."
As he spoke, he took out the confession from his arms and handed it to Su Peisheng beside him.
Then Su Peisheng handed it to the emperor.
Yongzheng opened the confession and read it, his eyes gradually filled with frost.
"Lady Li Fei Yunyan?"
He pondered for a while and felt that things were not that simple.
It's not that he looked down on Fei Yunyan, he just felt that it was impossible for her to have such a great power.
This is more like a scapegoat pushed out by some people.
But he still gave the order:
"Pass on my decree, abolish your title and noble status, and demote you to a concubine.
Also, take away the palace servants around her and interrogate them strictly!"
Xia Qian received the order and retreated quickly.
This noble lady Li is the emperor's concubine, and he certainly wouldn't dare to do anything without the emperor's permission.
Su Peisheng next to him also stepped back and went to announce the decree.
He knew that the reason why she was demoted to a concubine was that the emperor felt that she might be being used by someone.
So there is still some room.
If it is confirmed that she was the one who did it, she would definitely be demoted to a commoner and sent to the cold palace, or even executed.
Su Peisheng was more inclined to believe that it was Concubine Hua who did it.
However, everything still depends on the results of the interrogation. Without solid evidence, suspicion is just suspicion.
Yongzheng also had such doubts.
But he thought that Concubine Hua had always been deeply in love with him, so it was unlikely that she had planned this.
In short, the matter became confusing.
No one could have imagined that Luo Yao had used cheating abilities, and no matter how they investigated, it turned out that it was only Fei Yunyan who did it.
She can't clear herself from sin even if she jumps into the Yellow River.
