Chapter 119: Lian Zhaoyi, do you want to go out of the palace to have a look?
I don’t know what’s wrong with Yun Ting. He has to get close to me and not let me escape.
Yun Ji covered his nose with a handkerchief to block out the stench, and with the other hand he gently pressed on Yun Ting's chest to try to push him back.
Thinking that Yun Ji put his hand over him in a silent way to act coquettishly towards him, Yun Ting touched his hot hand with a helpless look on his face.
"Tell me, why are you so attached to me? Even though you are burned like this, you still want to..."
Unable to bear it any longer, Yun Ji trembled, turned his head to the spittoon beside him, and vomited bitter green water.
Yun Ting, who had been talking incessantly just now, suddenly fell silent because he thought it was dirty.
He let go of Yun Ji's hand and stepped back decisively.
As soon as Yun Ting stepped back, the unpleasant smell suddenly dissipated. Yun Ji held his chest and finally caught his breath.
He raised the handkerchief in his hand, as if wiping away tears of pain.
Lian Zhaoyi's frail appearance reminded Yun Ting of his brother, who looked so miserable in front of him that day but tried his best to avoid being seen by him.
This thought came about in a strange way, but it was too weird, so it kept lingering in Yun Ting's mind.
Seeing Lian Zhaoyi holding onto the desk, covering her lips with a handkerchief, and breathing softly, Yun Ting felt distressed but quietly denied his own thoughts.
It's strange. It's obvious that Concubine Lian is weak and frail, and there is a huge difference between her and her wise and powerful brother, the emperor. How could he confuse them?
"You," Yun Ting asked him from a distance, fearing that Yun Ji would bring his illness to him, "Are you so seriously ill?"
Yun Ji had a dizzy head and tinnitus due to the fever. He supported his head with his hands, made a weak "hmm" sound, and used Lan Fu's hand to rinse his mouth.
"Ayue," Yun Ting turned his gaze to Concubine Shu who was anxiously looking at Yun Ji and asked her, "What's going on with Concubine Lian?"
Without waiting for Song Yue to explain, he couldn't wait to continue his conversation: "Zhaoyi Lian was fine in Zhuixia Palace before, but now she is so sick after coming to you. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Originally, even though the person sent by her brother spoke with certainty, Concubine Shu still did not quite believe his statement that "His Majesty's favor towards you is about to disappear."
Now, seeing that Yun Ting did not listen to the imperial physician's diagnosis of Lian Zhaoyi, he inexplicably held her accountable. She felt aggrieved and couldn't help but be shaken.
As if to prove that Yun Ting still had some affection for her, Concubine Shu repeated Chen Hong's words word for word.
Unexpectedly, Yun Ting interrupted her before she finished listening, saying in a gloomy tone: "Let me ask you, did Concubine Lian fall ill here with you?"
Song Yue felt that Yun Ting did not listen to her explanation and accused her of "making Lian Zhaoyi sick" without any investigation. She became furious.
She was used to being favored before, and she didn't think Yun Ting would punish Concubine Lian severely because of her illness. Concubine Shu said stiffly: "I have already explained the reason, but Your Majesty didn't listen. I can only say 'I don't know'."
"Don't know?" Annoyed by her explosive tone, Yun Ting picked up the cup that Yun Ji had just used to rinse his mouth and smashed it down, "I see, you know it very well!"
As if in response to his angry words, the cup broke into pieces with a "crack".
Not understanding why Yun Ting took his anger out on his cup, and realizing that the fighting was spreading to him, Yun Ji had already laid down, but stood up with difficulty.
Thinking that Imperial Concubine Shu had done nothing to him and that they were on the same side, he did not add insult to injury, but tried to save Imperial Concubine Shu: "It was my fault that I was implicated, it has nothing to do with Imperial Concubine Shu."
Seeing Yun Ji actually pleading for Concubine Shu, Yun Ting sneered, "So that's how it is. I know, Ah Lian, I'm late, you've really been wronged."
Yun Ji noticed that Yun Ting's tone was not right, and thought to himself that something was wrong.
His words seemed to have the opposite effect.
As expected, Yun Ting shouted, "Even in front of me, Concubine Lian doesn't dare to say anything bad about you. This is enough to show how much she fears you!
"I sent Consort Lian to your Yaohua Palace, thinking that you two could take care of each other. Who would have thought that you would do such a thing! You, you vicious woman!"
Even though Yun Ji's brain was slow, he finally reacted now.
It turns out that Yun Ting kept asking Concubine Shu to give him an explanation, but he turned a deaf ear to her and even used him as a shield to suppress Concubine Shu.
Is it because you see they get along well, so you deliberately sow discord between them?
Once, when Song Yue was still a little girl, she was brought to a palace banquet by the women in her family.
It was because of that stunning glimpse of Yun Ting at that banquet that she insisted on entering the palace and becoming his concubine.
Unfortunately, the young man’s love could not withstand the king’s cruelty.
Seeing Yun Ting's cold attitude, she just hated herself for giving her true heart to the wrong person so easily.
If she and Yun Ting were an ordinary couple, she would have wanted to cut off her hair and break up with him immediately.
Unfortunately, Yun Ting is the emperor, and only by changing the dynasty can she have the possibility of regaining her freedom.
At this moment, she hoped more and more that her brother would take action as soon as possible.
After all, my brother was right. Yun Ting was not the only man with royal blood.
With a hardened heart, Concubine Shu said coldly, as Song Cheng had taught her: "Your Majesty, I have some guesses about Sister Lian's condition."
Realizing that he had overacted, Yun Ting backed down since Song Yue had been with him for many years and her brother was still in power in the court.
He took a deep breath and continued her words: "You say."
"Maybe my sister has been trapped in the palace for too long and misses the scenery outside the palace," Concubine Shu suggested with reason and evidence, "If my sister can go for a walk outside the palace walls, I think she will feel better."
Realizing that leaving the palace meant there was a chance he would meet Nan Yingzhi, Yun Ji was so delighted that he even started sweating.
He opened his mouth, wanting to admit it, but was afraid that his words would anger Yun Ting again, so he kept silent and waited quietly for Yun Ting's reaction.
Talking about letting Concubine Lian leave the palace, Yun Ting thought about it carefully and found that there were actually several chances.
Next month, we will go hunting in late autumn, and Yun Ji, as the favorite concubine, can accompany us.
However, the hunting trip was still a long way to go, and seeing the mention of "going out", Yun Ji's eyes lit up. Yun Ting decided that after Yun Yan's martial arts competition to win a bride in a few days, he would take him out to get some fresh air and relax.
"In a few days, the Seventh Princess will be choosing a husband in public, and I will be there." Although Yun Ting was inviting Yun Ji, he still kept a certain distance from him, "Lian Zhaoyi, do you want to accompany me and go out of the palace to take a look?"
Recalling what Yun Yan said about her martial arts competition to find a husband, Nan Yingzhi was very concerned about it. Then, seeing that on the day of the marriage contest, even Yun Ting wanted to go in person, Yun Ji understood immediately.
This was a rare opportunity for him to meet Nan Yingzhi.
Even though she was ill and in low spirits, Yun Ji still raised the corners of her mouth and couldn't stop smiling: "Of course I am willing. It is my honor to be able to accompany Your Majesty."
"Just now," Yun Ting leaned forward as if he had seen a rare treasure, his eyes slightly widened, "were you smiling at me?"
Yun Ji doesn't like to laugh, and is even more unwilling to show his emotions to outsiders.
He smiled just now, but he was so delirious due to fever that Yun Ting saw it.
Now that Yun Ting had "reminded" him, he couldn't help but suppress his smile and return to his usual indifference.
With his flushed face, Yun Ji looked like a flower bud that had opened and then been forced to close, looking a little awkward.
"Good boy, A-Lian," Yun Ting felt that he looked so pitiful and like A-Lian, so he begged, "Smile again, okay?"
