Chapter 496: Story of Yanxi Palace Er Qing 29

As soon as the morning court ended, Qianlong got up in a hurry and left.

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. No one knew what had happened to the emperor. The emperor, who used to pay the most attention to his manners, was so out of control today.

"Go to Yongshou Palace!" Li Yu, the chief eunuch, had followed Qianlong for many years and understood his thoughts best. Upon seeing this, he immediately shouted loudly.

All along the way, Qianlong was recalling last night's intimacy with Erqing, her gentle posture, charming face, and the tentative words "Your Majesty, will you come to see me again?"

They were like feathers, gently scratching his heart and making him feel distracted. He wanted to fly back to Yongshou Palace immediately and hold that annoying little goblin in his arms and love her dearly.

When he arrived at the Yongshou Palace, Qianlong rushed in almost like a gust of wind.

The bedroom was empty, and there was no sign of the beauty. The passion that had just been aroused in Qianlong's heart was instantly poured with a basin of cold water.

"Where are the people?" He asked in an unhappy tone, frowning.

Li Yu observed the emperor's expression and answered carefully, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine went to Changchun Palace early in the morning, saying that she was going to pay respects to the Empress, and she has not returned yet."

Qianlong was extremely anxious and did not care about the dignity of an emperor. He lifted the hem of his dragon robe and walked towards Changchun Palace at a rapid pace like a young boy.

Seeing this, Li Yu hurriedly followed, jogging all the way to catch up with Qianlong's pace. Along the way, the palace maids and eunuchs looked sideways, surprised at the emperor's abnormal behavior today.

Qianlong walked quickly, the hem of his dragon robe fluttering behind him like a ball of rapid flame. Li Yu trotted behind him, not daring to breathe, because he knew that the emperor was truly in love, and only the "gentle and lovely" imperial concubine could make the emperor lose his composure like this.

Before Qianlong stepped into the Changchun Palace, he heard a noisy sound.

"Erqing, don't think that just because you are a noble concubine you can show off in the palace!" Wei Yingluo's sharp voice was as harsh as the friction of porcelain.

"What kind of good thing do you think you are? You climbed onto the dragon bed and caused the young master to be reprimanded by the emperor!"

"How dare you!" Qianlong was furious. Wei Yingluo dared to make up such a story about his beloved woman. He strode into the palace.

"Wei Yingluo, you committed treason, what crime should you be punished for?"

The originally tense atmosphere froze in an instant. When Wei Yingluo saw Qianlong, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she still looked unconvinced.

"You..." Qianlong was furious and was about to explode, but Erqing gently pulled his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, it's not unreasonable for Yingluo to blame me. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have been punished, and Lord Fuheng wouldn't have risked stopping me in the Imperial Garden for Yingluo, hoping that I would help her. And later on, he wouldn't have..."

Er Qing's voice was soft and choked with sobs, like pear blossoms hit by rain, which made people feel pity for her. She raised her watery eyes and looked at Qianlong timidly, with tears still in the corners of her eyes, which made her look even more pitiful.

Qianlong's heart softened immediately, and his original anger disappeared without a trace. He gently stroked Erqing's silky hair and said softly, "Qing'er has been wronged. It's my fault. I shouldn't have listened to the slander."

"Your Majesty, please forgive Yingluo's punishment for the sake of her and Master Fuheng's mutual affection?"

"This..." Qianlong was a little hesitant. Wei Yingluo was committing a crime of insubordination. If she was not punished, how could the emperor's majesty be demonstrated?

"Your Majesty, I know you are doing this for my own good, but Yingluo was just acting on impulse, and her feelings for Master Fuheng are known to all, so please help them."

Fu Heng stood there in a daze. Er Qing's words echoed in his ears, but it was as if there was a thick veil between them. He could hear them but could not see them clearly.

He should be happy, shouldn't he?

Er Qing was pleading for him, trying to find a chance for him and Ying Luo. But why, what surged in his heart was not joy, but an inexplicable sense of loss, like a tangled mess that became more and more tangled the more he tried to sort it out.

He looked at Er Qing, she was as gentle and weak as ever, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and her pitiful appearance aroused the man's desire to protect her. Qianlong was indeed controlled by her, and his tone was so gentle that it almost dripped water, without any of the majesty of an emperor.

"My beloved concubine is right. I was not thoughtful enough."

Qianlong gently wiped the tears from Erqing's eyes and said softly, "I will punish Wei Yingluo by slapping her face twenty times as a warning to others. This will not happen again."

Wei Yingluo wanted to refute, but Mingyu winked at her desperately. She then reluctantly shut her mouth and glared at Erqing fiercely.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Er Qing smiled softly, her eyes moving with a hint of the pride of a winner.

"Fu Heng, why don't you thank me?" Seeing Fu Heng standing there in a daze, the Queen couldn't help but remind him.

Fu Heng finally came to his senses and quickly knelt down to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty."

"Get up." Qianlong glanced at Fu Heng indifferently, and no emotion could be heard in his tone.

Fu Heng stood up, but he didn't dare to look directly into Qianlong's eyes. He knew that the emperor had long been dissatisfied with him and Yingluo. If it weren't for Erqing's plea, Yingluo's punishment would not be so light.

He secretly glanced at Yingluo, only to see that she was glaring at Erqing with hatred on her face, her eyes burning with rage, as if she wanted to eat her alive.

Fu Heng's heart trembled. He knew that with Ying Luo's personality, this matter would not be let go like this.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start. At this moment, Er Qing suddenly turned her head to look at him, with a meaningful smile on her lips.

That smile was cold and unfamiliar, causing Fu Heng's heart to sink suddenly, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

"Your Majesty, how about...taking advantage of this auspicious day to grant Yingluo and Master Fuheng a marriage?"

Er Qing's sudden proposal stunned everyone present.

Wei Yingluo widened her eyes, as if she had heard a huge joke, and looked at Er Qing in disbelief, as if she had met her for the first time.

Fu Heng was even more shocked. He looked at Er Qing in disbelief, trying to find a trace of a joke on her face. However, all he saw was seriousness, a creepy seriousness.

"Qing'er, you..." Qianlong obviously did not expect Erqing to make such a suggestion. He looked at her in surprise and did not know how to answer for a moment.

Er Qing, however, seemed not to notice Qianlong's surprise. She gently took Qianlong's hand and said softly, "Your Majesty, think about it. Yingluo and Master Fuheng love each other. Now Sister Yingluo has made a mistake again. If you can grant them a marriage, it will not only help them but also make Sister Yingluo understand your painstaking efforts. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
