Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 231 Climbing into bed

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, a drizzle began to fall from the sky. The fine rain threads intertwined into a hazy curtain, covering the earth.

Yun Yuxi lay quietly in Yan Wuque's arms, drowsy, her body swaying slightly with the rocking carriage, as if she was in a gentle cradle, making her feel very tired.

Yan Wuque peeled peanuts skillfully and fed them to Yun Yuxi one by one. He took good care of her, his eyes full of tenderness.

However, when he suddenly found that the person in his arms had fallen asleep quietly, he gently placed Yun Yuxi on the soft seat, and began to boil a pot of fragrant tea.

At this time, the secret guard Xiaoliu said softly: "Master, we originally expected to arrive in Kyoto in the evening, but due to the rain, the road has become a bit slippery. I am afraid it will be late at night when we return to the palace. I will go to the capital first and greet the guards guarding the city gate to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Yan Wuque nodded and replied, "Well, you should indeed say hello. Go ahead." He knew very well that the city gates were usually closed at night, and if he didn't say hello in advance, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

Instead of making a big fuss, it is better to arrange everything in advance to ensure a smooth trip.

After Xiaoliu left, Yan Wuque continued to concentrate on making tea, and the fragrance of tea gradually filled the carriage.

After a while, Yun Yuxi woke up and said, "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and the palace will definitely hold a banquet. If we go back now, I'm afraid we will have to attend the palace banquet tomorrow."

"We are back, but I am afraid that the emperor will know about it as soon as we enter the city gate. We have no choice but to participate. We can also visit our mother at the same time. She is old and her health is getting worse," Yan Wuque said with some concern.

"Well, maybe we're not in the palace. I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble. If Chi Yan pretends to be you and is found out, the women in the backyard will be in trouble."

"Yu'er, think of a way to get rid of those concubines. It would be even better if you can get rid of them. If the two in the dungeon have changed their ways, release them too."

“I’m afraid it’s not that easy. No common people dare to marry the women dismissed by the palace, even though they are all innocent. Besides, they were sent by big families after all.

"Keep it, in case the higher-ups send more people. At least these people won't cause any trouble for now. At most, we'll just have to spend more money to support them."

"That's true, but Yu'er, I care about your feelings very much. Alas!" Yan Wuque sighed deeply, his eyes full of guilt.

"Okay, okay, I don't care about them. If they are disobedient, I will teach them a lesson. If they can behave themselves, it's okay to provide them with food." Yun Yuxi interrupted the topic.

"Yu'er, there's news from the Rebirth Tower that the Third Prince's wife had a miscarriage. I'm afraid she won't be able to get pregnant again in the future."

"Your Highness, have you found out what caused this?" Yun Yuxi asked curiously.

Yan Wuque lowered his voice and said, "Minghao favored a woman, and was caught by his princess. He fell down in excitement, and the child was lost."

"Qi Yue is so pitiful. Not only did she marry a stupid husband, but now she even has no children..." Yun Yuxi couldn't help but feel sorry.

"There is another interesting thing. The Shu Guifei in the cold palace, now the Shupin, is actually pregnant. She is two months pregnant. According to the guards, I am afraid that the palace banquet tomorrow will not be simple," Yan Wuque said with some gossip.

"Tsk tsk tsk, so explosive! Someone dares to cheat on the old emperor. This Imperial Concubine Shu is really brave. The Fourth Prince keeps a low profile because he is afraid of being caught and being disliked by the old emperor. But this Imperial Concubine Shu is not afraid of death."

Yun Yuxi smacked her lips and continued: "Your circle is really messy,"

"Yu'er, things in Kyoto are a mess and I'm afraid that there will be a storm. At any time, remember, don't trust others easily. No matter what happens in the future, we should not be suspicious of each other to avoid being used and provoked by others." Yan Wuque looked at Yun Yuxi with clear eyes.

"Your Highness, you are right. Since we are husband and wife, we should trust each other. I hope you can do what you say. If one day you hurt me, I will run away and you will never find me again."

Before Yun Yuxi could finish her words, Yan Wuque blocked her mouth and a passionate kiss came over her.

Yun Yuxi held back her moans, her face flushed red, and she looked at Yan Wuque with displeasure. There were so many guards outside the carriage, this man was becoming more and more a bastard.

Lin Jinxiu dressed up carefully, asked Hanxiang to lead away the secret guards, and she broke into Yan Wuque's study carrying chicken soup.

Chi Yan was lying defenselessly on the small couch in the study. He was pretending to be Yan Wuque, so he didn't dare to speak, let alone move, after all, Yan Wuque had a disabled leg.

His eyes stared at Lin Jinxiu fiercely, as if asking what Lin Jinxiu wanted to do.

Lin Jinxiu put down the chicken soup, took out a pill from her arms and threw it on the ground. A puff of white smoke rose up and a floral fragrance came to her nose. Chi Yan hurriedly covered his mouth, but it was too late and he inhaled a lot.

Lin Jinxiu was indeed ruthless enough, in order to get into bed, she even inhaled the aphrodisiac herself.

Soon Chi Yan felt hot all over, his consciousness became increasingly blurred, and he tore off his clothes. Lin Jinxiu used her remaining consciousness to run to the small bed and take off her clothes.

Chi Yan couldn't bear it anymore, so he hugged Lin Jinxiu and pressed her down onto the small bed.

The secret guard realized that he was deliberately led away. When he returned to the study, he heard shameful and infuriating voices inside. He was so scared that he dared not breathe. He didn't know that Yan Wuque in the room was Chi Yan in disguise.

The secret guard flew up in a flash and landed on a big tree outside the study, muttering to himself: "The prince and princess are having such exciting fun, actually in the study..." He thought they were Yan Wuque and Yun Yuxi.

The carriage entered the city smoothly, and Yun Yuxi and his party finally returned to the palace.

The servants of Nuanyu Pavilion prepared hot water and meals.

Yun Yuxi was tired from the long journey and was already hungry. She sat down with Yan Wuque to prepare to eat. Suddenly, the secret guard hiding outside the study came and looked at the couple with a strange expression.

If the couple just came back from outside, then who is in the study? The dark guard said with a pale face.

"Your Majesty, have you just come back from outside?"

"What's the matter? Why are you asking?" Yan Wuque asked with a cold face.

The secret guard hurriedly told what happened in the study.

Yan Wuque felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to plot against him. After all, Chi Yan was pretending to be him.

Yun Yuxi said with a smirk: "Let the secret guard go down, the prince and I will go to take a look. Don't make this matter public, or it will ruin the prince's reputation."

"You can still laugh. Someone is plotting against your husband, but you're not jealous at all. It seems you don't love me!" Yan Wuque was speechless.
