Chapter Forty-Three: The Wind Is Always Blown Away by the Rain and the Wind

The rain didn't stop until nightfall, but it meant that it was getting bigger and bigger.

Yun Fenghuang arranged for Ji Muzi to attend the emperor's bed, and asked people to close the doors and windows when lighting the lamps, preparing to think about the current situation at night.

As a result, not long after dinner, there was a knock on the gate of the courtyard, and immediately Chen Zhu rushed to report, saying that the emperor had come.

"Shouldn't Your Majesty go to Concubine Ji's place tonight?" Yun Fenghuang was slightly surprised, stood up to greet him, and then walked to the corridor. Chunjia had already come to meet him. He was wearing a light blue crepe casual uniform with dark patterns at the moment. After all, it is narrow, although the umbrella behind Yanyin's folded umbrella is very wide, but the corners of the flying clothes are still stained with a little rain, and under the night, they are almost blood-stained.

With a quick glance, there was a shocking appearance of the emperor approaching step by step in a blood-splattered robe.

This made Yun Fenghuang, who was halfway through the salute, froze.

When he looked again, the young emperor raised her with a peaceful face, he stretched out his hand to help her up, and led her into the house together, and said as he walked, "Concubine Ji is not feeling well, so I won't bother you. I happened to see your yard when I passed by." There are still lights in the room, thinking that you might not be asleep yet, so I asked Yan Yin to knock on the door...why don't you like me coming over?"

Yun Fenghuang really didn't like him coming at this moment, but said on the face: "How could it be? The concubine was just an accident."

He then asked Ji Muzi why she was uncomfortable, "Has she asked the imperial doctor to see it?"

While talking, the two just crossed the threshold and entered the room. Nian Xuan saw some water droplets on the emperor's temples, so she hurriedly took a handkerchief from the side and handed it to Yun Fenghuang.

Yun Fenghuang took the handkerchief, and waited for the emperor to sit on the head with his robe lifted, and then went up to wipe it for him.

The emperor sat upright and let her take care of him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, and he said calmly: "I don't know, but Concubine Ji has been in the palace for many years, so she must be able to take good care of herself."

"...What Your Majesty said is true." After hearing this, Yun Fenghuang paused for wiping the water droplets for him, then turned his head and thought of Xuan Xuan, "Although it is hot today, it is still raining this night. Why are you serving this cold drink back to Your Majesty? Get some hot tea soon!"

Nian Xuan pleaded guilty, removed the pear juice that had just been put on the table, and made hot tea with her feet, the emperor took a sip and said with a smile: "I still love my concubine."

Yun Fenghuang threw the handkerchief after wiping off the drops of water to Nian Xuan, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I entered the palace to serve His Majesty, if I don't feel sorry for Your Majesty, who else would I care about?"

The two were chatting and laughing, and quickly forgot about Ji Muzi's physical discomfort - but Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, she didn't think the emperor's attitude towards this concubine Ji who had been in the palace for many years Too ruthless and unrighteous, in the final analysis, the emperor's attitude was very obvious early in the morning, only Yuan Niangniang in the Sixth Court of Sangong was the one he wanted.

The others were forced upon him by various parties after he ascended the throne, and he accepted it only because he was unable to object.

So it is reasonable for the emperor not to care about Ji Muzi.

But if it was the time when the Ji family was still in full swing, Yun Fenghuang believed that even if the emperor wished that Ji Muzi would die and save himself the trouble of dangling around under his nose, he would definitely not have the current attitude.

There are such disadvantages in relying on family background to be superior. Once the backer falls, or has not yet fallen, it is not good, and his own position is like a candle in the wind. It only collapses in a blink of an eye-the emperor clearly does not care about Ji Muzi, Obviously, he didn't take Ji's family seriously.

This is definitely bad news for Yun Fenghuang.

But just like the reason for her calmness in front of Xijing Xile, the emperor has made no secret of his feelings for Ji Muzi, but he is still making false claims with her... This move makes it difficult for Yun Fenghuang not to hold a weak feeling hope.

Even for the emperor, is he still useful?

Otherwise, why would the daughter of the Ji family be regarded as nothing by the emperor? Jieyu, who relied on the Ji family's empress to lead the crowd in the palace arrogantly and make troubles, was still coaxed and held by the emperor, like a three-thousand-year-old Pampered all in one?

The question is, where is her value to the emperor?

Yun Fenghuang hesitated, originally planned to analyze quietly at night when no one disturbed her, but now that the emperor came, she took advantage of the scene of being coquettish and foolish, pestering the emperor to attack him.

But the emperor accepted all her favours, but never revealed anything important.

In the end, being entangled by Yun Fenghuang, he simply smiled calmly: "Didn't I say it before? My concubine is young, even if she behaves a little nonsense, can I still care about you? Besides, my concubine has always served me with heart, and I am not How can a person with a heart of stone not miss old love?"

It's hard to believe the hypocrisy, it's full of prevarication.

Yun Fenghuang was sullen in his heart, and he was not easy to attack, so he suppressed his irritability through the night, and early the next morning, after having breakfast with the emperor, he coaxed him to the front hall under the pretext of having something to deal with.

As a result, he was planning with a sullen face, and Chen Jing, the gatekeeper, came to report, saying that Ji Muzi asked to see him.

"Your Majesty, can I let my concubine serve His Majesty tonight?" Ji Muzi's face was pale, and she seemed really uncomfortable, but she asked, "Just tonight, is that okay?"

Yun Fenghuang was startled when he heard the words, and said: "You are still in good health, if you pass the sickness to His Majesty, how can I take this responsibility?"

Ji Muzi only said that she was deliberately embarrassing her, and her already pale face became even paler. She clenched her fists as if she had used all her strength, and said in a low voice: "I used to be stupid and ignorant, so I offended Jieyu. In the place of the empress, I still ask the empress Haihan, the concubine... the concubine's invitation this time is also for...for..."

Although she and the queen have different fathers, they are both the daughters of the Ji family. His father, Minyanghou, is no lower than Haixihou in the clan.

After entering the palace, even though her status was only higher than the top, she was more than the bottom, but she always regarded herself very high, and she was also extremely arrogant.

Xue Xiaoge, the cousin who entered the palace with Yun Fenghuang back then, was never the first to serve in the bed, and she wanted to make things difficult for Yun Fenghuang to vent her anger, which shows how strong it is to be sharp.

It's only been a few months, but I'm about to ask Yun Fenghuang. Even though Ji Muzi tried her best to put on a low-browed gesture, she still couldn't hide her sadness and embarrassment. It's all about to fall.

But when Yun Fenghuang saw it, she was not as pleased as she had expected. Instead, she showed surprise: "What are you talking about? When will this Palace not let you serve His Majesty? Didn't I arrange for you to serve His Majesty last night?" Did you sleep? But you said you were unwell..."

"When did the concubine feel unwell?!" Ji Muzi blurted out subconsciously when she heard the words, but soon realized that the words were close to questioning, and quickly added, "Madam, the concubine did not wait for His Majesty to pass by yesterday. I will rest here at night...my concubine..."

She was silent as she spoke, because she realized that these words seemed to be blatantly accusing Yun Fenghuang of taking the emperor away.

Although she thought so, but now she can't offend Yun Fenghuang.

"I asked someone to close the gate of the courtyard yesterday when I was lighting the lamps, but I was about to fall asleep. Your Majesty asked someone to knock on the door with an umbrella. If you don't believe me, just ask whoever is serving here." Yun Fenghuang didn't care too much. , sighed, "I asked His Majesty why he didn't rest at your place at the time... But His Majesty said that you were unwell and was afraid of disturbing you. No, this Palace just sent His Majesty to the front and was planning to go there You asked if it was okay, but as soon as you said this, I was going to be confused!"

Seeing that Ji Muzi's originally pale face was getting paler, and she even seemed to be on the verge of falling, she quickly asked someone to help her sit down and talk, "Don't worry, maybe you are acting like a monster, and your majesty was also deceived." ?”

So he ordered Chen Zhu to go out and find out why the emperor didn't go to Ji Muzi's place last night.

Ji Muzi smiled wryly when she saw this, and she was not stupid: before the emperor came to power, no one dared to tease him about such a thing, let alone after he came to power? And she didn't come from a small family, even if she was relegated to the palace concubine, after all, with the Ji family, which palace man would dare to cheat her after eating the bear's heart and leopard?

This matter must be the emperor's own meaning.

He doesn't need to cover up anymore, can he clearly express his dislike of the Ji family?

No wonder Uncle Haixihou came to Wannian County overnight, and...

Ji Muzi's fingertips were trembling. Although Yun Fenghuang asked her to stay and wait for Chen Zhu to report back, she couldn't sit still, and forced herself to get up to leave—but before leaving, she hesitated and asked Yun Fenghuang: "Ma'am , Concubine's current state, I am afraid that His Majesty will not pass by tonight. Then who will serve the bed tonight?"

Yun Fenghuang sighed: "If I can see Your Majesty later, I will mention you to Your Majesty, and see if His Majesty will come to see you... If it is inconvenient for Your Majesty, then I will let Yi Feng clothes serve His Majesty. "

She was not Yuan Niangniang, she was sincere to the emperor, she would not see this person favoring others.

For Yun Fenghuang, status, treatment, and power are the key points, and sleeping with the emperor is just one of the ways to achieve these goals.

Given that the emperor is still willing to play games with her, she now hopes that the emperor will visit Yi Xingen more often - after all, Yi Xingen can have children, can't he?

After Ji Muzi left, Chen Zhu came back after a while, wiping his sweat with a look of panic: "Your Majesty, yesterday your Majesty didn't go to Concubine Ji's yard at all, but came directly to our place."

Yun Fenghuang said: "I guess it's the same..."

He sighed again and asked, "How about His Majesty's falling into the water? What's the point today?"

"Your Majesty summoned the Marquis of Haixi and Uncle Xingning yesterday evening. At that time, Eunuch Yanyin was guarding the door in person, and no one else was allowed to approach. The slaves really couldn't find out what was going on." Chen Zhu lowered his head, Said, "I just heard that these two didn't look very well when they went out, and Hai Xihou was especially flustered..."

Seeing Yun Fenghuang groaning silently, he thought for a while and then said, "I also found out that someone sent a message to Concubine Ji last night, and it seems to be from Haixihou's side."

It's no wonder that Ji Muzi let go of her arrogance and came over to ask herself to arrange her bedtime.

Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart, but the emperor clearly had no intentions of Ji Muzi, so what's the point of trying to please Ji Muzi at this moment?

Hmm, maybe it was a sudden illness that went to the doctor indiscriminately?

"...Let's do that first." Yun Fenghuang originally wanted Xijing to go to Haixihou's place again to find out what he said, but under the current situation, I'm afraid there will be no good end to contacting Haixihou again. , but had to give up the idea.

It rained a little less this day, but it still fell pattering all day long. Yun Fenghuang couldn't tell what the emperor was thinking, so he didn't go to the front to ask about his health, but watched Nian Xuan and the others doing needlework, chatting with each other , Send the time away.

In the evening, Chen Zhu's eyeliner came to tell that the emperor went directly to Yi Xing'en's place——Yun Fenghuang sighed for Ji Muzi, and settled down.

She thought that there should be no more accidents tonight, why troubles will always break out tomorrow morning.

In the end, she was sleeping soundly, but was woken up by Nianxuan Liuhong who accompanied her at night. Before Yun Fenghuang could open her eyes, the two maids were already busy dressing her up: "Something happened to Yi Fengyi, His Majesty is now angry, urging you to hurry over!"
