Chapter 599: Troubles in the Imperial Palace
"I have treated you well and never looked down on your background. I have promoted you from a humble person to the mother of a country. Even when the civil and military officials in the court interfered in your government affairs, I turned a deaf ear to them!"
"How did you report me?"
"You actually, actually~!"
Liu Wan blinked her innocent eyes, looked at Zhao Heng with an aggrieved expression and said:
"What's wrong with me? Why does the emperor look at me like this?"
"You, you actually have the nerve to ask?" Zhao Heng gritted his teeth and said, "Last night, you were here with Marquis Jing'an~!"
However, Liu Wan's expression became even more confused. She looked at the eunuchs and Eunuch Cui on her left and right:
"What happened last night? Did Marquis Jing'an come here?"
The eunuchs and palace maids looked at each other and finally shook their heads.
Finally, Eunuch Cui replied: "To answer the emperor and the queen, no one came to the palace last night, and nothing happened!"
"Your Majesty, nothing happened last night!" Liu Wan turned around and looked at Zhao Pa again.
"Heh~, you're about to die and you're still pretending to be stupid in front of me, right?" Zhao Heng looked at Liu Wan who was pretending to be stupid and said angrily:
"Okay, then let me ask you, what did you do last night?"
"I have been with you all night long!" Liu Wan said strangely.
"Last night, after Eunuch Cui lit a cigarette for the emperor, the emperor suddenly started shouting and mumbling something, and finally fainted!
"Later, I asked Eunuch Cui to find the imperial physician, and it was not until this moment that the emperor woke up!"
Liu Wan said with a look of grievance:
If you don't believe me, you can ask the imperial doctors, eunuchs, and the palace maids and guards. They can all testify for me!"
As soon as Liu Wan finished speaking, Eunuch Cui immediately said:
"Your Majesty, after you fell into a coma last night, the Empress has been by your side taking care of you without taking off her clothes!"
At the same time, other eunuchs and imperial doctors also nodded.
"Wait~!" Looking at everyone's reactions, Zhao Heng was suddenly confused.
He clearly saw the Queen and Lin Hao doing something shameful in front of her, which made him faint due to anger.
He clearly remembered that he spit out blood before he fainted!
Thinking of this, Zhao Heng looked at the ground and the dragon bed, but there was no other trace at all. The reactions of the eunuchs and palace maids also made Zhao Heng fall into self-doubt. Did he wrongly accuse the queen?
At this moment, Zhao Heng felt a little confused. He felt that he could not tell what was real and what was imaginary.
Then Zhao Heng asked his trusted eunuch Cui with some uncertainty:
"You said that no one else came to the bedroom last night?"
"Sir, I was by your side last night. No one else came except the Queen!"
Zhao Heng was stunned for a moment. What was going on? He clearly remembered that he saw the Queen and Lin Hao~!
But it would have been fine if the Queen had just acted innocent and refused to admit it, but even his most trusted confidant, Eunuch Cui, testified for the Queen. Could it be that he had remembered it wrong?
Zhao Heng was unwilling to give up, and then asked several eunuchs and palace maids. The result was that everyone gave the same answer, including the guards and imperial guards in the palace, and no one had noticed any outsider coming in.
Everyone shook their heads and denied it. If only one or two people denied it, Zhao Heng would have thought that these people were bribed by the Queen, but since everyone spoke with the same opinion, Zhao Heng had to look for the reason within himself.
After all, most of the eunuchs around him were old servants who had followed him since he was the crown prince. It was impossible for them to be bribed by the queen.
So, maybe he smoked too much opium and had hysteria. It seemed that he had had this experience before. Then Zhao Heng shook his head, trying to sober himself up.
"I'm sorry, Queen. I was wrong about you!" Although Zhao Heng still had doubts in his heart, he still apologized to the Queen.
"Wow, wow, wow~, the look on your face just now really scared me to death!" Upon hearing this, Liu Wan burst into tears in grievance.
"It's my fault, it's my fault. I have to smoke less opium in the future!"
Then Zhao Heng comforted the queen while yawning. He wanted to ask Eunuch Cui to prepare a pipe, but after thinking it over, he held back.
At this time, a eunuch ran over:
"Your Majesty, the Concubine Xian is here!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay?" The voice of Concubine Xian came in before anyone else came in. After entering the bedroom, she rushed towards Zhao Heng crying and shouting, regardless of the presence of the Queen.
"It's okay, it's okay~!" Zhao Heng patted Concubine Xian's back and comforted her.
Just when Liu Wan was about to say something, Lin Hao's voice came to her ears:
"Do you want me to help you teach Concubine Xian a lesson?"
The queen looked to the right and found that Lin Hao was actually right next to her, and even held her in his arms. This instantly made Liu Wan's hair stand on end.
She was so presumptuous in front of Zhao Heng. Just when she was about to say something, Lin Hao rushed up to her.
"Hmm~!"
It was only then that Liu Wan discovered that Zhao Heng and everyone in the entire palace seemed to be unable to see the two of them, and Lin Hao's actions became more and more unscrupulous.
Then Lin Hao continued to say in Liu Wan's ear:
"Don't worry, they are all blind at the moment, no one can see what we are doing!"
Hearing Lin Hao say this, Liu Wan didn't understand what was happening in front of her at all. She was extremely nervous and then whispered:
"You are so brave~, well, what if, what if we are seen?"
Lin Hao smiled when he heard that, and his movements became more and more vigorous, completely ignoring the palace maids and eunuchs in front of him.
Because after Lin Hao's illusion was activated, in the eyes of the people in the palace, the queen was still kneeling beside the emperor, and the virtuous concubine was still acting coquettishly with Zhao Heng.
But at this time Liu Wan couldn't accept it. Having sex with Lin Hao in front of everyone made her feel like she was naked in front of others.
So he said to Lin Hao:
"Let them back off, this is too embarrassing~!"
“Hahaha!” Lin Hao laughed unscrupulously: “Okay, then I’ll do as you say!”
Then Lin Hao used the illusion to make Liu Wan in the illusion say goodbye and return to the palace.
After Liu Wan learned that other people couldn't see the two of them, she started to act unscrupulously.
He even did it on purpose in front of Zhao Heng...!
At this time Lin Hao deliberately let Zhao Heng only see him and Liu Wan, so Zhao Heng just blew out a smoke ring, and in the hazy smoke, he saw Liu Wan sitting on Lin Hao again.
"Bitch, I knew you were lying to me!" Zhao Heng pointed at Liu Wan and Lin Hao and shouted, "Come here, arrest the Queen and Marquis Jing'an!"
However, what caught Zhao Heng off guard was that the eunuchs and palace maids around him, including Eunuch Cui, all looked at him strangely, and even Concubine Xian looked at him in astonishment.
In their eyes, Zhao Heng pointed at an open space and shouted, asking people to arrest the Queen and Marquis Jing'an, while everyone looked at each other in silence.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and arrest this pair of dogs for me!" Seeing his queen working so hard on Lin Hao, Zhao Heng became furious.
At this time, Eunuch Cui said cautiously:
"Your Majesty, the Empress and Marquis Jing'an are not here. The Empress has just returned to the Cining Palace, and Marquis Jing'an is in his mansion..."
Concubine Xian also glanced at where Lin Hao and the Queen were fighting, and said in confusion:
"Yes, butler, the queen has already left. Did you see it wrongly~?"
"Are you all blind?" However, Zhao Heng was like a madman, pointing at where Lin Hao and the Queen were, and yelling:
"There are two such big people in front of you, can't you see them? You..."
However, as everyone looked at the deserted place, they were thinking in their hearts that the government might be beyond help this time, so should they find another employer?
Finally, Eunuch Cui whispered to Zhao Heng:
"Your Majesty, the Queen is definitely not here. How about I invite the Queen and Marquis Jing'an over~!"
"Okay~!" Zhao Heng stared at Lin Hao and Liu Wan, and said without blinking:
"Go and come back quickly, I want to see what's going on."
At this time, Liu Wan's voice became louder and louder. Since only Zhao Heng could see it, she became more unscrupulous and even looked at Zhao Heng provocatively.
Zhao Heng was so angry that he was fuming. After a while, Lin Hao stood up from behind Liu Wan and began to change the illusion.
After Liu Wan regained some strength, Lin Hao said to her:
"You go to the door now and act like you just came from the Cining Palace, okay?"
"Okay~!" The queen immediately forced herself to get up, and then went to the door of the palace. She already understood what Lin Hao meant. However, although Liu Wan left, in the illusion that Lin Hao had woven for Zhao Heng, the queen was still doing something shameful with him, which made Zhao Heng furious.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with Your Majesty?" At this time Liu Wan came out of the door panting, and then shouted worriedly.
However, Zhao Heng was completely confused at this time. The queen came in from outside the door, so who were the two people in front of him?
"This, this, this~?" Zhao Heng said in disbelief: "How, how can there be two queens?"
However, everyone looked confused. It was clear that Empress Hang had just come over, but the emperor pointed to a pillar and said that this was also the Queen.
Everyone, including the imperial physician, was certain that the emperor had gone mad!
Zhao Heng turned to look at Liu Wan who was walking out of the door, then stepped forward and touched her to see if she was indeed a real person. Then he came to the pillar and said:
"What's going on? Why are there two queens~!"
Before Zhao Heng could finish his words, Lin Hao ended the illusion when Zhao Heng turned his head.
When Zhao Heng turned around, he was shocked to find that the person in front of him was not the queen, but a huge pillar!
"Your Majesty, this is a pillar~!" At this time, Eunuch Cui said with gritted teeth.
Afterwards, Zhao Heng fell to the ground, staring blankly at the pillar in front of him. He was completely out of energy and spirit, and fell into deep self-doubt~!
At this time, Lin Hao also shouted from outside:
"Your Highness, I, Lin Hao, the Marquis of Jing'an, pay my respects to the Emperor!"
"Your Majesty, Marquis Jing'an is here~!" Eunuch Cui reminded again.
"Let him in!" Zhao Heng said weakly at this time.
"Announce, Marquis Jing'an comes to see you~!" Eunuch Cui shouted immediately.
Then Lin Hao strode into the bedroom with great strides, clasped his hands together and saluted:
"Sir, I am here. I wonder what you want me to do for you~!"
At this time, Zhao Heng looked at Lin Hao coldly, but found that Lin Hao's clothes were different from the Lin Hao he had just seen. He still felt relieved and said:
"It seems that I am really suffering from hysteria!"
At this moment, Lin Hao once again created an illusion that the virtuous concubine was flirting in front of him, so Zhao Heng shouted loudly to Lin Hao:
"What are you doing, Concubine Xian? Why are you like this? It's so unbearable~!"
At this moment, Concubine Xian was stunned, so before he could finish his words, Concubine Xian said resentfully behind Zhao Heng:
"Sir, I am here~!"
Then Zhao Heng turned around in shock and found Concubine Xian was indeed behind him. Zhao Heng then realized that Concubine Xian had been behind him all along. He was indeed suffering from hysteria and was probably hopeless!
After that, Lin Hao made several moves to let everyone know that the government might not be able to do it. Only then did Lin Hao say:
"It seems that the emperor has a headache. Let him have a good rest!"
Then Lin Hao bowed to Liu Wan and said, "As for the affairs of the court, please pay more attention to it, Your Majesty, and stay behind the scenes for the time being..."
In the end, Liu Wan declined and Lin Hao had to reluctantly rule the country from behind the scenes.
Liu Wan then glanced at Concubine Xian, then smiled faintly and said to Zhao Heng:
"Let the emperor have a good rest. I will take my leave first!"
"Go ahead! After all, you haven't slept all night, go back and have a good rest~!"
Zhao Heng waved his hands absentmindedly, then asked Concubine Xian to light a cigarette for him, and then immersed himself in the pleasure of ascending to heaven again.
Afterwards, Lin Hao and Liu Wan left the bedroom. However, when Lin Hao passed by Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian sniffed and was surprised to find that Lin Hao had the same special fragrance as Queen Liu Wan.
Not only that, Lin Hao and Liu Wan also had a "that" aura mixed in. Plus, Liu Wan's walking was a little strange, like she was just having sex with someone!"
That...! Concubine Xian didn't dare to think about it at this moment.
······
next day
Reports came from Yanmen Pass that the Liao Kingdom had stockpiled a large number of troops on the Song-Liao border, and seemed to be intending to go to war with the Song Dynasty again!
At the court meeting, the emperor was ill and let the queen rule the country from behind the curtain!
With Lin Hao's support, the queen began to handle state affairs smoothly.
After discussion, the court finally decided to send Gao Hu, Gao Guancha, as commander-in-chief and lead 50,000 troops to reinforce Yanmen Pass.
After spending a whole morning, with the assistance of Lin Hao, Liu Wan finally dealt with the state affairs and then returned to the palace after the court session.
When Lin Hao was about to leave, the queen's eunuch came to Lin Hao and whispered:
"My Lord, the Queen wants to discuss something with you. Please follow me~!"
"Thank you, sir. Please lead the way!"
As Lin Hao spoke, a smile appeared on his face. The Queen seemed to be getting more excited, so she went to Liu Wan's bedroom, the Cining Palace.
As soon as she saw Lin Hao, Liu Wan couldn't wait to pounce on him, and then another fierce fight between dragon and tiger ensued~!
Originally, Liu Wan wanted to ask Lin Hao why only Zhao Heng could see them yesterday, but Lin Hao did not give her any chance. After a beating, she finally behaved herself and did not dare to ask Lin Hao the reason easily.
However, when Liu Wan was in high spirits, she didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes outside the door watching her fight with Lin Hao.
Lin Hao knew that there was someone outside the door, but he knew who that person was, so he didn't care. Instead, he deliberately showed it to her to arouse her interest.
Half an hour later, Lin Hao drove the queen to the door, then Lin Hao opened the door with a swish, and the person who was peeping outside the door immediately fell in.
Liu Wan looked at the person who fell in with horror, it was Concubine Xian!
While the three were stunned, Concubine Xian quickly got up from the ground and tried to escape.
The action of Concubine Xian startled Liu Wan. Liu Wan reacted quickly and grabbed Concubine Xian and pulled her back.
Then, Liu Wan covered the virtuous concubine who wanted to scream, but she inadvertently found that there was no one outside.
Only then did she remember that it was she who ordered others not to approach the Cining Palace, which allowed Concubine Xian to seize the loophole and discover her big secret.
Originally, Lin Hao wanted to let Concubine Xian leave and then play a game of cat and mouse, but he was caught by the little wild cat Liu Wan.
But Lin Hao didn't care. After he closed the door, he immediately helped Liu Wan tie Concubine Xian to a stool and covered her mouth with a piece of cloth.
After tying her up, Lin Hao subconsciously started to move his hands all over her.
"Wuwuwu~!" The virtuous concubine who was tied to the chair began to struggle emotionally, but her mouth was blocked and she could only make a whimpering sound.
Seeing this, Liu Wan rolled her eyes at Lin Hao, and Lin Hao smiled and withdrew his hand, so Liu Wan whispered to Concubine Xian:
"Sister Xianfei, I will take the cloth out of your mouth right now, but you'd better not yell, otherwise~!"
As she spoke, Liu Wan signaled to Lin Hao, and Lin Hao started to do it again. Lin Hao soon became even more powerful than Liu Wan!
"Woo woo woo~!" When Concubine Xian discovered that Lin Hao was touching her all over, she quickly nodded vigorously.
So Liu Wan stepped forward and took the rag out of Concubine Xian's mouth.
But as soon as Concubine Xian’s mouth was freed, she immediately said indignantly:
"I never thought that you two, a pair of dogs and bitches, would do such a shameful thing behind the official's back!"
"Also, what did you do to the emperor to make him insane~!"
"I will make your mischief in the palace known to the public!"
The virtuous concubine's chattering made Liu Wan's face darken. Then she narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the virtuous concubine coldly and said:
"So there's nothing to talk about?"
"There's nothing to talk about!" Concubine Xian also sneered and looked at Liu Wan, saying with certainty.
"It seems that my sister hasn't seen the situation clearly, so don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!" Then she gestured to Lin Hao.
However, before Lin Hao could take action, Concubine Xian looked at Liu Wan confidently.
"Humph, Liu Wan, don't be so proud too soon. Didn't you notice that my personal maid is not here?"
"Where did she go?" Liu Wan's face changed when she heard this.
"Hehe, I'm not afraid to tell you that when you were having an affair with Lin Hao, I asked my maid to go to the emperor!" At this point, Concubine Xian said proudly:
"I'm afraid you've already reached the government. Just wait for the government to come and punish you two, the couple!"
When Liu Wan heard this, she suddenly lost her mind and didn't know what to do for a moment, so she looked at Lin Hao for help.
