Chapter 159 The Queen Who Used as a Shield in a Good Pregnancy Novel (9)
After Ruan Ruan left Weiyang Palace, Wen Songzhi quickly appeared.
When he entered the hall, Le Yan was resting with her eyes closed, rubbing her forehead.
Wen Songzhi looked at her, then thought of the palace maid who had just left, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
What were the palace maids from Qianqing Palace doing in Weiyang Palace?
Did the Emperor have the mind to leave an edict to torment the Empress before he was forced out of the palace?
The mere thought of this possibility filled Wen Songzhi with murderous intent.
He stepped forward lightly, looked at Le Yan, and knelt down to one side, "Your Majesty?"
Le Yan looked up when she heard the voice, and wasn't surprised at all when she saw him.
Now that the other party has successfully lured Li Yanxiu out of the palace, they will naturally come to claim credit; the only difference is when they will do so.
The fact that the Ninth Prince could enter so openly in broad daylight speaks volumes about his power.
Thinking of this, Le Yan lowered her hand and was about to speak when a pair of large, well-defined hands grasped hers.
Wrapped up tightly, Le Yan lowered her eyes to look at Wen Songzhi, "What are you doing?"
"Your Majesty, has the Emperor made things difficult for you again?"
Wen Songzhi's eyes held a deep pity, but also an uncontrollable anger.
It's as if, as long as Le Yan nods, Li Yanxiu is bound to be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Le Yan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she sighed with a touch of melancholy, "I've long been used to it."
That's right, it was that damned emperor who made things difficult for her again!
Seeing Le Yan's sorrowful expression, Wen Songzhi gritted his teeth and struggled to suppress his anger.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant will get it back for you."
He would retaliate a hundredfold or a thousandfold for whatever the emperor did to the empress.
Hearing Song's expression darken, Le Yan pretended not to see it.
Fearing he might go too far, yet also fearing he might not go far enough, Le Yan thought for a moment and then said, "Don't act recklessly. Important matters of the court still require the Emperor's attention."
Wen Songzhi raised an eyebrow, understanding the unspoken meaning; he realized that the Empress did not intend to stop him.
I was just worried that he was going too far, so I gave him a little advice and guidance.
Wen Songzhi felt both happy and sad. He was saddened by the injustices his concubine had suffered all along, but happy that his concubine was not on the emperor's side and was protecting him.
Since the Empress doesn't care, as long as the Emperor can still handle state affairs, then everything else is not so important.
With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, he instantly had an idea upon hearing the song.
He glanced at Le Yan discreetly, pursed his lips, and tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, would you still be willing to share a room with the Emperor?"
Le Yan: "?"
At first, Leyan didn't understand what Wen Songzhi meant.
But having gone through three lifetimes of progress, she quickly grasped the meaning of "hearing and singing to know".
She looked at him with some surprise, remained silent for a while, and then gently shook her head: "I don't want to."
So go ahead and do whatever you want!
Wen Songzhi immediately smiled: "Your Majesty, rest assured, since you do not wish to, the Emperor will not bother you again."
Once he cripples the Emperor's third leg, he doesn't believe the Emperor will still have the leisure to harm the Empress.
Then she thought of how people always cursed the empress, labeling her as a wicked empress and a jealous woman.
Wen Songzhi was in a bad mood. "Your Majesty, do you need a child?"
If needed, he would bring a child for the Empress, and then the Emperor, who was weighing on her head, would no longer need to be kept.
"..." Wen Songzhi's words shocked and silenced Le Yan. A child? What would she want a child for?
On second thought, she understood: they wanted her to rule from behind the curtain with her young son.
A smile played on Le Yan's lips. "Not for now."
She rejected Wen Songzhi's proposal, but she didn't completely reject it either.
Wen Songzhi couldn't understand what she was thinking, but he knew he should follow her arrangements in everything, so he nodded and didn't mention the matter again.

Outside the palace, Li Yanxiu shivered, sensing that someone was plotting against him, but he couldn't figure out who it could be.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed and his face grew even more somber.
He looked at Gao De and demanded, "Haven't you caught anyone yet?!"
He had originally planned to go to Weiyang Palace today to see what Sun Leyan was thinking about, but he suddenly received a report from Wen Songzhi that he had discovered the remnants of the three princes who had once fought with him for the throne. With this hatred ignited, he immediately took the man out of the palace and arrested them himself.
But like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, the remaining members of the gang, knowing they were in deep trouble, scattered and fled.
So they failed to catch anyone.
This infuriated Li Yanxiu, and the angrier he got, the more ruthless his methods became.
He subjected all those who were slow to run and were caught to extreme torture; each of them died a gruesome and unsightly death.
Gao De dared not say more and could only hurriedly reply, "Your Majesty, this servant will definitely investigate to the end and will not let any of the remaining accomplices go!"
He was, after all, one of Li Yanxiu's confidants, so Li Yanxiu didn't say much, just kicked him and told him to go and arrest people.
Li Yanxiu, on the other hand, enjoyed the screams of the remnants of the three kings' faction, which soothed the hatred in his heart.
If they have to blame someone, they should blame themselves for following the wrong person. The loser has no chance to fight back.
Death is already too good for them.
Li Yanxiu's eyes were gloomy, filled with resentment at being over thirty and still childless.
The tricks he played in his youth, the things he didn't take seriously then, have now become his obsession.
Thinking of this, Li Yanxiu's thoughts returned to his only woman, Sun Leyan, the mistress of the six palaces.
He felt no guilt, nor did he think there was anything wrong with him putting all the blame on one woman.
She is his woman, so she should sacrifice herself for him.
He doted on her exclusively for eight years, leaving the harem a mere formality, with no one bothering her. Yet, she was still unsatisfied, always wanting to send him women in an attempt to remove the infamy from her life.
Ha, if she removes it, won't the world know that he will never have children?!
Li Yanxiu looked unhappy, and he was itching to go again. He couldn't go to Weiyang Palace today, and that woman must be relieved.
He would not let her have an easy time once this matter was over. As husband and wife, they were one; if he was suffering, she would not be able to suffer either!
