Chapter 42 - Handwritten Notes by the Imperial Consort

"Who are you?" The emperor opened his mouth and ate the grapes that Chen Concubine fed him.

Shen Shuwu raised his head, his eyes filled with stubbornness. "Presumably, the emperor knows that Han'er has fallen into the water."

The Emperor's face went slightly grim as he replied.

Shen Shuwu frowned, as she expected, he had already known that Han'er had fallen into the water, but he did not say a single word of concern. He looked hatefully at the Emperor and the woman in her arms, and said: "Han'er did not fall into the water for no reason, but because someone deliberately murdered him."

Her words were not light, nor were they heavy.

"Who?" The Emperor's forehead twitched.

"It's the Concubine Chen in your arms!" Shen Shuwu's tone suddenly rose. Seeing that the emperor's face had turned ugly and seemed to be filled with anger, the man said in a deep voice, "Don't mess around!"

"Chenqie has evidence." Upon hearing Shen Shuwu's words, the emperor started to feel uneasy. On the other hand, Chen Fei who was in his embrace had a calm expression, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Shen Shuwu called for someone to bring the palace maid over, and the palace maid obediently said the words. The emperor's face darkened as he angrily said, "Liu Yi, this palace maid slandered Consort Chen and dragged her down to be hanged."

Who was Shen Shuwu's grandfather? He was someone that the late emperor trusted the most, someone who held great power and even the emperor feared him.

The emperor's facial expression changed drastically. He did not expect that Shen Shuwu would dare to threaten him openly. He had never seen Shen Shuwu who was covered with sharp thorns before.

He did not know that back then, Ye Han, who was the Third Prince, was Shen Shu Wu's only happiness, his life.

"I did not say I would not agree." The emperor agreed on the surface and temporarily gave Chen Fei a penalty of half a month.

What kind of light punishment was that?

At night, the Emperor quietly came to Liuhe Palace and had a huge argument with Shen Shuwu.

"She also has a son, so how could she be so cruel as to hurt him?" Shen Shu Wu asked the emperor again and again, "Chenqie knows that the emperor only has eyes for Consort Chen, so chenqie will never seek humiliation for herself. But she wants to hurt Chenqie's son, that is still your son, why is it that you can only see Ye Qun?"

"The people of the palace all say that Chen Fei is bewitching and that she laid a trap for His Majesty. Now it seems that it's true, Chen Fei is a fox with a heart of a snake and a heart of a scorpion!" Shen Shuwu cursed as the emperor covered her mouth. No matter how she struggled, she could not let go of him. His face was filled with rage as he said, "We will not allow you to say anything bad about her. You are not worthy!"

Just like that, the imperial concubine gradually lost all signs of life. She died of hatred.

The Emperor slipped away from the window. He did not know that there was a third person who had personally witnessed this scene from the dark that night.

"On the second day, the Emperor ordered the cremation of the imperial concubine and announced to the public that she had died from a violent illness. "Even Third Marquis, who appeared ill on the outside, couldn't see the empress one last time …" Aunt Qingshui's voice dropped.

Yun Qin clenched both her hands tightly. She never thought that the emperor was such a pervert, to think that she had always thought that he was a kind and amiable good emperor!

"All the servants in Six Paths Palace have been dismissed. This servant is unwilling to leave, so I can only ruin my appearance and hide in this palace for the rest of my life. If it weren't for the Empress's orders, this servant would have followed her." As Qingshui said that, he covered his face and cried, causing Yun Qin's heart to become heavy.

"Princess, the emperor is definitely not as simple as you see him to be. This servant has told you about this so you can be on guard against the emperor. All these years, the reason the Emperor has been good to His Highness is because he has other intentions. In order to pave the way for the Fifth Prince, he could do anything. " Qing Shui reminded them.

Yun Qin nodded.

Water stood up and walked to the side of the table, holding onto a flowery pen container, he turned left and suddenly opened his mouth in the middle of the table, causing Yun Qin to walk over in shock.

received it. It was the note from the Imperial Concubine, when she flipped open a page, she saw that the hairpin on top of it was extremely elegant, with a hint of tenacity within its gentleness.

"Alright." Yun Qin kept it carefully and promised Aunt Qingshui that she would be on guard against the Emperor.

Shui Shui kneeled on the ground, bowed to Yun Qin three times and cried: "This humble servant thanks Princess!"

Just then, Aunt Meng who had been standing outside for a long time saw that Yun Qin was still not coming out, and called out: "Esteemed Empress, it's almost noon."

Yun Qin pushed open the door, and said indifferently: "I've made aunty wait a long time, let's go."

The wedding will be over, and the Bamboo Palace will be busy.

After the emperor gave him a lot of gifts, Ye Han got someone to bring in Feng Guanxia's robes. Aunt Meng and a few palace maids were busy with their makeup, asking her to try changing into it.

Even the Aunt Meng who was used to embroidery praised it endlessly. It was said that even a level one elderflower herb in the palace would not have such skills, this was probably what people called "experts in the human world".

When Yun Qin changed to it, it could be said to be a breathtaking sight. The small palace ladies' mouths were sweet as they praised Yun Qin.

The phoenix crown on his head was extremely heavy, and when Yun Qin thought about how he would have to wear it for an entire day on the day of their marriage, he felt despair in his heart. Aunt Meng pulled her along and told her about the etiquette of marriage as well as some customs.

Yun Qin's head hurt when she heard it, but after thinking about it, living this long seemed to be no big deal.

When she found the time, she would hide in her room and stealthily look through the Imperial Concubine's notes. She couldn't help but feel sorry for this mother-in-law that she had never met.

From what she wrote, her mother-in-law adored the Emperor. However, she was well aware of the Emperor's unkindness, so she didn't want to bring disgrace upon herself.

Yun Qin supported her cheek as she sighed. Thinking back to when Ye Han had lost his mother, he must have felt really bad, right? This was to the extent that after the Imperial Concubine's death, his personality had changed quite a bit.

According to the written words, Ye Han could compose poems from a little naughty, but extremely intelligent, age four.

Yun Qin thought: Empress, let Yun Qin take good care of him for you from now on.

Just as he was feeling lazy, Aunt Meng suddenly called out from outside the door.

Yun Qin rubbed her forehead, she was already getting impatient from all of this, so she carefully kept her notes. Yun Qin opened the door and said: "Aunt, don't worry, I already remember you."

Aunt Meng replied and said that she would teach him something else today.

She called for the palace maids to enter one by one. There were a total of four or five boxes, and Aunt Meng ordered some people to open them.

Yun Qin was curious, and saw that there were porcelain bottles, bowls, alms bowl, books and shoes inside the box.

Her gaze landed on her shoes, only to see that there was a picture of a man and woman having fun together. Yun Qin stared in disbelief, before looking at the name on the cover of the book.

Yun Qin puffed up her cheeks, his face immediately turning as red as if it was going to drip blood.

"Quick, take it away." She blushed.

Seeing her bashful expression, Aunt Meng advised: "Princess, this is something you have to learn before you get married, you don't have to be shy."

Seeing Aunt Meng's "old driver" look, Yun Qin sniffed: "Then, let go of him."
