Chapter 106 The concubine who died young in the novel "The Emperor Takes His Minister's Wi
Qianqing Palace
Leyan was still brought here.
Her hand was held tightly by Emperor Kangning, and she could not let go of him for even a moment.
"From now on, you will live with me in the Qianqing Palace."
Emperor Kangning pulled Leyan to sit on the bright yellow throne, a pleased smile playing on his lips.
"Wait a moment, I will give you the best of everything."
Once he has eliminated all those with ulterior motives, he will present everything he owns to Leyan.
Emperor Kangning made up his mind, while Leyan was stunned by the meaning conveyed in his words.
"Your Majesty..."
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but then felt that she couldn't say anything at all.
So he swallowed his words back.
Emperor Kangning, however, wanted to hear her speak and looked at her expectantly. "What is it? Is there something you want to tell me?"
Le Yan quickly shook her head, "No, I'm just a little shocked."
Emperor Kangning raised an eyebrow and chuckled, saying only, "Take your time, you'll get used to it."
Once you get used to it, you won't be shocked anymore.
Stroking her soft, boneless little hand, feeling its slightly rough texture, Emperor Kangning couldn't help but frown again. Wasn't she supposed to be the legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies? Why did she look like she had done a lot of rough work?
Upon realizing this possibility, Emperor Kangning's eyes instantly turned cold.
He slightly lifted his eyelids, his gaze falling on Le Yan, taking in her figure.
Suddenly, she asked, "My dear, did you have a hard time before?"
Le Yan initially felt uncomfortable with his gaze, as if she were an object being scrutinized by him.
Upon hearing his question, she immediately realized that his scrutiny was not what she had imagined.
So the question is, should she answer truthfully?
After a moment's hesitation, Le Yan pouted and complained, "No good."
She recounted with heartfelt emotion: "My father favored his concubine over his wife, drove my mother to her death, and then locked me in a dilapidated courtyard to fend for myself. He would also bully me and my wet nurse from time to time..."
With each word she spoke, Emperor Kangning's gaze grew colder, until finally, his murderous aura was almost impossible to conceal.
As Le Yan spoke, she cautiously observed his expression. Seeing that he seemed quite angry, she decisively added another strong dose of inflammatory language: "Previously, Father and Aunt were planning to marry me off to an old man who already had thirty-eight concubines..."
"boom!"
"presumptuous!"
With a loud bang, Emperor Kangning was furious. He was already angry and wanted to kill people, and now his anger and murderous intent were at their maximum. He just wanted to wipe out the entire Qian family!
He was about to give the order when he caught a glimpse of Le Yan's panicked expression out of the corner of his eye. His anger vanished instantly, replaced by a feeling of regret.
Did I scare her?
Emperor Kangning panicked and quickly put his arm around Leyan's shoulder, patted her back reassuringly, and said, "Don't be afraid. I just feel sorry for you because I heard you've suffered so much."
Le Yan was held in his arms, half of her face pressed against his shoulder, revealing a pair of almond-shaped eyes filled with complex emotions.
Where Emperor Kangning couldn't see, Leyan blinked blankly, then silently gave herself a thumbs up.
It seems the original owner's revenge will be taken soon.
Given Emperor Kangning's tyranny, she was certain that her scumbag father and his family would be crippled, if not killed.
When asked about Emperor Kangning's intention to avenge her, Le Yan hesitated for a moment before hugging him back and whispering, "Your Majesty, I'm alright."
She said she was fine, but her tone was full of sadness, which made Emperor Kangning's heart clench.
How could it be okay?
Being treated like that by her own father, having no loving mother by her side, and being forced to marry that kind of person, how could she possibly be alright!
Emperor Kangning was heartbroken beyond measure, and could only hold the person in his arms tightly, while also feeling extreme hatred for the Honglu Temple Minister and his family who had abused his beloved.
He wouldn't say anything about how he treated the Qian family in front of Le Yan, but none of those people would live a good life.
Suppressing the murderous intent surging within him, Emperor Kangning gently stroked Leyan's hair and said tenderly, "With me around from now on, you will only enjoy happiness and never suffer hardship."
Le Yan paused for a moment, as if considering whether she could trust the emperor before her.
After a moment, she nodded gently, "Yes, I believe in Your Majesty."
What can you do if you don't believe it? He's the biggest guy in the world; whatever he says goes.
Le Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Luckily, she had a miraculous physique; otherwise, she really wouldn't know how she would survive in this ancient world.
After consoling herself, Leyan quickly accepted the situation.
For example, the idea of living with Emperor Kangning in the Qianqing Palace. After a change of heart, she suddenly felt that it was actually not bad.
It doesn't matter where you stay; whether you stay in the Qianqing Palace or the Changhua Palace, it makes no difference.
—Anyway, she can't possibly sleep alone anywhere.
That night, on the dragon bed, Le Yan was held in Emperor Kangning's arms, her eyes wide open, wide awake, staring intently at the bright yellow curtains.
Thanks to the small scar on her neck, Emperor Kangning was afraid of aggravating her wound and did not touch her.
But even though she didn't move, that thing was pressing against her, and she was still very uncomfortable.
Moreover, with such a blazing furnace standing right next to her, it was quite difficult for her to ignore him.
Emperor Kangning said he had no choice but to accept this.
As a twenty-five-year-old young man, full of youthful vigor, with his beloved lying beside him, he could restrain himself from touching her, but he couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart.
Left with no other choice, Emperor Kangning got out of bed twice and took two cold showers.
Unfortunately, the effect was minimal; his body remained just as hot.
Le Yan watched him go back and forth like that and felt a little sorry for him, so when he got out of bed for the third time to take a cold shower, she simply split the dragon bed in two.
Two quilts lay across the middle of the bed, clearly separated like the Chu River and Han border.
Looking at her masterpiece, Le Yan clapped her hands with satisfaction before turning over to the side, pulling herself into the silky blanket, and falling into a deep sleep.
She didn't care at all whether Emperor Kangning lived or died.
When Emperor Kangning returned, his body damp with sweat, he saw the bed that had been split in two, and his beloved sleeping soundly on one of the halves.
Faced with this scene, he couldn't help but fall silent.
As he remained silent, the more he looked at the two blankets, the more displeased he became.
Who put so many blankets on his bed?!
While cursing in his heart, Emperor Kangning's hands were not idle. He decisively tore open the two quilts, threw them on the ground, and then climbed onto the bed.
He gently pulled Leyan out of the covers and held her tightly in his arms before falling into a deep sleep, feeling slightly tired.
