After entering the palace ten days later, Liu Ruyan was able to rest well at home.
During this period of time, the palace eunuchs brought over the Golden Sore Medicine and many tonics. Liu Ruyan was moved beyond words, as her heart was filled with anticipation.
Right now, Lian Chengming only had a slight favorable impression of Liu Family. Next, she would let Liu Family become Lian Chengming's most trusted right-hand man.
She would protect the lives of everyone in the Liu Family, and would even let her family enjoy all the glory and riches!
There were still three days until the time to enter the palace, and Liu Ruyan's injuries had already mostly healed.
Maybe because she noticed that she was different from her previous weak and naive self, Liu Mengdia didn't disturb her these past few days and only got maidservant to send him all kinds of refreshments and rouge powder.
"Pfft, who wants her things!?" This servant will throw all of these out right now. Who knows what that evil woman is hiding inside! "
After knowing Liu Mengdia's true face, Jane placed her hands on her hips, as if she wanted to seek justice for Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan couldn't help but laugh, "I am already a Concubine Hui under the title of Emperor. Even if she hates me, she wouldn't dare to do anything to me at this time. However, it's good to throw these things out, so that they don't cause anyone to feel annoyed. "
In the afternoon, Liu Ruyan called Jane to go out with her. She had some urgent matters to attend to.
The capital was bustling as usual, but Liu Ruyan was not in the mood to appreciate it. When she arrived at West Gate Street, Liu Ruyan suddenly stopped in her tracks as she saw a familiar figure enter the Drunken Red Inn.
It seems like … The son of the Regent King Qin Kangan — Qin Jiayan.
In his memory, Qin Jiayan was very different from his father. He was a very elegant and noble young master.
Liu Ruyan told the Jane to go home first and quickly chased after him.
As soon as he entered the room, he frowned at the pungent smell of rouge.
The old procuress saw that she was a girl and was about to kick her out. Liu Ruyan didn't say anything further and gave her the scarlet gold phoenix hairpin.
Due to the old procuress's delay, Qin Jiayan's figure could no longer be seen.
Liu Ruyan walked along the stairs, her ears filled with the vulgar voice of the private box, she forced herself to ignore the unbearable voices, and searched around.
When he reached the corner of the third floor, he was pulled into a room by a huge force.
Liu Ruyan didn't even have the time to cry out in alarm before she fell into a generous hug, as a man's deep and low voice sounded beside his ear:
"It's you?!"
This voice, was Lian Chengming's!
Liu Ruyan was so shocked that she raised her head to meet Lian Chengming's cold gaze. She immediately struggled out of his embrace and knelt down while bowing:
"This concubine pays her respects to Your Majesty!"
He had gotten used to his new identity so quickly and learned to call himself 'Chenqie'. He was a quick-witted woman.
Lian Chengming started to admire Liu Ruyan more in his heart, she waved to her to get up, her gaze stopped at her feet for a moment, and then spoke with a deep and pleasant voice:
"You came to this kind of place after recuperating?"
Her voice sounded sad and joyless, but it also carried a suffocating feeling. Liu Ruyan was shocked, and inwardly cursed.
She had already been conferred a title and was about to enter the palace. For her to suddenly appear in a land of fireworks, no matter how one explained it, it would always be a stain.
Lian Chengming thought carefully, if she were to lie, his entire Liu Family would be implicated.
What should I do, what should I do?!
The more anxious he was, the more clear-headed Liu Ruyan became. She met Lian Chengming's gaze and suddenly, a bold idea popped up in her mind.
Time was of the essence, Liu Ruyan did not have time for her to hesitate, she took a deep breath and spoke word by word:
"When chenqie saw Young Master Qin of the Residence of Regent, she boldly followed him. Since the Emperor is also here, this means that there must be something going on between the Drunken Red Brothel and the Regent. This concubine is willing to lend the Emperor a helping hand and eliminate the traitors! "
Her words were so straightforward, and was a little unexpected. Lian Chengming's eagle eyes flashed, staring at Liu Ruyan's beautiful and refined face, and suddenly curled his lips:
"You are very smart, but you have saved yourself a lot of ostensible manoeuvres. It is true that I need to borrow the Liu Family to balance the Regent, but what can a woman like you do for me? "
When Lian Chengming asked this question, it showed that he was very interested in her suggestion.
Liu Ruyan was ecstatic. She maintained her composure and exposed a beautiful smile that could topple cities on her face.
"The Emperor has led an army for many years. He must have known that there's a move within the military strategy to 'deceive people'. Chenqie is willing to be the emperor's shield to deceive people."
Needless to say anymore, Lian Chengming could understand what she meant in an instant.
She was willing to bear the notoriety of being the bane of a beautiful woman and being the Demon Consort who misunderstood the nation, and act out a play with Lian Chengming, causing the Regent King to mistake Lian Chengming as a beautiful, infatuated faint monarch, thus relaxing his guard.
Lian Chengming's breathing slightly stagnated. Compared to the unparalleled beauty of the girl in front of him, what moved his heart the most was her extraordinary wit and courage.
What a woman cares most about is reputation, and she can come up with such a brilliant idea in such a short time that she doesn't even care about her own reputation.
Liu Ruyan, what exactly are you doing this for?
Seeing Lian Chengming not saying a word for a long time, Liu Ruyan started to get nervous. The next moment, she was carried by the man towards the bed in large strides.
His stern face pressed down, and his voice revealed a trace of hoarseness. "beloved consort is willing to sacrifice for me? If I were to ask for you here, you wouldn't object, would you? "
