My Lady is well

Chapter 110 Admit

Luo Zhong's heart began to hang in the balance since Shen Yueyao started talking about Changyin Pavilion.

Hearing her scolding so harshly, for a moment he really wished he was deaf.

Who is that? That's the Emperor!

Not to mention cursing, if others make a comment about you, they will be beheaded.

Every time Lady Shen wanted to say something, he felt like a knife was hanging over his head. Every time he spoke a word, a knife would fall down. He had finally rolled down this mountain of knives, but fortunately he was still alive.

He raised his sleeve and hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, then quickly caught up with the two of them.

Jing Ruzhang held Shen Yueyao's wrist and came out of Yong'an Palace.

Shen Yueyao glanced at his face, which didn't look particularly friendly, so she frowned and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty, you hurt me."

He stopped, pulled his hand back, and looked at her coldly.

"I didn't even try hard, why are you being so squeamish?"

Shen Yueyao met his dark gaze with aggrieved look.

"Have I offended the emperor in some way?"

He was so angry that he laughed. He put his hands behind his back, looked carefully at the weakness on her face, nodded frequently, and took two steps forward to get closer to her.

Shen Yueyao was forced to take two steps back by the pressure from him and leaned back. Seeing that her waist was unstable, he raised his hand to support her. After steadying her, he took a small step back and said coldly.

"Humph, Shen Yueyao, do you dare to say that what happened today was not deliberately designed by you?"

How could she admit to something like this without any evidence?

"My concubine's scheme? What else does Your Majesty say? I swear to heaven that everything I said today is true. If there is even a single lie, Your Majesty will punish me as I please."

Jing Ruzhang looked at her watery eyes and recalled the strange expression on her face when she found out she was pregnant yesterday. At that time, he thought she was just shy, but now it seems that she might have felt that there was someone else in Changyin Pavilion that day.

Shen Yueyao had no intention of letting him go and continued to pretend to be terrified.

"Your Majesty...I am sorry for you. Please do as Concubine Song Rong said and give me a bowl of medicine. I will feel at ease and will not be in such a state of anxiety all day long."

He clenched his fists, lowered his eyes, and said with a sullen face, gritting his teeth.

"Shen--Yue--Yao--you're not done yet, are you?"

Shen Yueyao sneered in her heart.

"That's right. I've been frightened for so long, and I have to get it back with interest."

She frowned and said in a frightened tone.

"What do you mean by that? Your Majesty? I am stupid and I don't know how I have offended Your Majesty."

Jing Ruzhang unclenched his fists and thought for a moment with his brows lowered. He was not the kind of person who would do something but not take responsibility for it, so he spoke with a hint of compromise in his tone.

"Listen, I'm only talking about this once. You schemed against me once in the inn, and the time in Changyin Pavilion... we're even now. Don't mention it again in the future."

Shen Yueyao opened her eyes wide, her red lips slightly parted, her watery eyes filled with surprise.

"Ah?! So... that obscene..."

The voice became smaller and smaller: "...It's the emperor?"

Luo Zhong held his breath and dared not speak. This, this Lady Shen is really brave!

From now on, she is his ancestor!

He shrank his neck and buried his head like a turtle.

Jing Ruzhang's ears turned redder and he spoke in a low voice with a hint of anger in his tone.

"Shen--Yue--Yao--"

Shen Yueyao calmed down only after hearing his admission, and she decided to stop teasing him.

She went up to him, took his hand, and smiled at him innocently.

"Your Majesty said not to mention it, and I will never mention it again."

Never mind. It was ridiculous to have kept it a secret from her all these days.

If she is really angry, then let her do as she pleases.

He pulled his hand back and turned sideways.

"Now that you've seen enough of the excitement, let's go back to Zechen Palace. I have things to do."

She pursed her lips and smiled, thought for a moment and decided to test Jing Ruzhang's arrangements for her accommodation.

"Today, the Queen Mother told me to live in Shou'an Palace."

Jing Ruzhang looked at her with raised eyes.

"What? You've scolded me enough today, so you want to run away? You wish. Go back to Zelu Palace. I will deal with you slowly when I am free."

Shen Yueyao sneered in her heart, didn’t they say that it was over?

Duplicitous man!

Jing Ruzhan turned and walked towards the imperial study. After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and sighed.

"Luo Zhong, call my sedan chair."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shen Yueyao was stunned for a moment as she watched his tall figure disappear around the corner of the palace wall.

I touched my belly subconsciously. It seems that my status has really risen after I got pregnant.

......

Grand Master's Mansion.

The cold moonlight leaked in from the diamond-shaped lattice window, and was cast on the ground in star-like patterns along with the shadows of the trees.

A young man in white with gentle eyebrows and eyes like jade is painting. He is drawing the soft outline of a man in a green shirt and a pair of breathtakingly beautiful peach blossom eyes.

Xie Lanci was stunned, his eyes fixed on the ground thoughtfully.

"Brother Xie, are you asleep?"

Xie Lanci put down the brush in his hand and said to the servant.

"Go and invite Second Young Master Song in."

This Second Young Master Song was none other than the current queen’s second brother, Song Chuyao.

Song Chuyao brought in two pots of wine and laughed out loud.

"No matter how I invited you before, you never came to my house. This time, it's really rare that you actually took the initiative to mention staying at my house for a while."

After saying this, he handed the wine in his hand to the servant and continued on his own.

"I told you to send two people to serve you, and you look so lonely."

Xie Lanci clasped his fists and said, "Brother Song knows that I don't like others to serve me."

Song Chuyao teased, "Are you afraid that others will learn your secret painting skills?"

"Brother Song, you are joking. By the way, have you made any progress on the matter I asked Brother Song to investigate?"

Song Chuyao frowned and shook his head.

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint Brother Xie. I haven't found out the identity of the person you mentioned."

Xie Lanci was shocked, knowing that the man must be someone extraordinary. He never thought that even the people from the Grand Tutor's Mansion couldn't find out.

Could it be some prince?

Song Chuyao glanced at the paintings on his desk and walked forward to examine them carefully.

"Is this the girl you're looking for? Even though she's wearing men's clothing, she's really pretty. No wonder even Brother Xie, who's used to seeing beautiful ladies, can't forget her."

Xie Lanci's ears blushed slightly and he spoke hurriedly.

"Brother Song...you misunderstood. I just met this girl by chance. It was just a one-time encounter."

Song Chuyao didn't take it seriously, because he knew that the world-famous painter Xie was used to being alone.

He has been invited many times but failed. Now that he can appear here today, does that mean there is no problem?

"Really? Brother Xie, you've only met me once, but you've condescended to ask me to do something for you. A gentleman would love to marry a beautiful lady. Why should you be ashamed to admit this, Brother Xie?"

"..."

Song Chuyao looked carefully at the person in the painting and felt that there was something familiar between his eyebrows and eyes.
