Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 416.1: Strange Matter

Li Hong Yuan helplessly smiled, “It wasn’t me.”

Jing Wan very much doubted. That big of an incident, with several collapsing in a row, well, Gong Qinwang should probably be excluded, after all, that was just his mouth having problems, completely asking for a beating, but everything else, aside from a certain someone, who else was this skillful?

Thinking it over, if it was a certain high-ranking and ‘powerful’ imperial consort, it was still possible. After all, the inner palace was their territory. As for Shu Consort Qin, her suspicions were the smallest. She has always conducted herself with a low profile. No matter what, one was unable to think of a reason as to why she would put on such a play, even nearly having oneself thrown in. It can’t be that she knew Jin Qinwang Manor’s manor doctor was that incredible, right? Jin Qinwang’s trust towards her clearly hadn’t reached this high. As for the other two…………..

“Any sufficiently prepared plan can all have unexpected variables appearing, and this unexpected variable perhaps will cause the plan to have holes, becoming imperfect, or directly failing, but it can also cause the plan to become perfect, or even flawless.” Towards his own wife’s suspicions, Li Hong Yuan was still a tiny bit displeased, although this while, he didn’t show it.

“Ah Yuan means to say that tonight’s matters actually had the component of an unexpected variable?”

“The possibility is very big.” Li Hong Yuan slightly narrowed his eyes, seemingly recalling certain matters, “But these things all have nothing to do with us. If you’re tired, just rest.”

Jing Wan leaned against Li Hong Yuan’s shoulder, snuggling against the side of his neck. The time was truly late tonight. Because her daily routine was normally very patterned, she actually was already somewhat unable to hold up. This while, the surrounding was both quiet and warm, completely filled with a familiar scent, so naturally she just felt increasingly drowsy. She softly let out a response, and because of being close by, Li Hong Yuan heard it very clearly.

Very soon, her breathing became gentle and drawn out. The warm breath spilled onto the skin of Li Hong Yuan’s neck.

Li Hong Yuan adjusted Jing Wan’s posture, letting her sleep a little more comfortably, as he sunk into a brief moment of silence. Afterwards, “An Yi, how’s the matter?”

Although Li Hong Yuan didn’t take that many people into the palace, it didn’t mean that the people he left outside the palace were completely unaware of the situation inside. Don’t forget, Yu Zhong Qing now worked for him, and under Yu Zhong Qing, there were certainly also people deathly loyal to him.

The Imperial Guards, for the imperial palace, was a very special existence. Aside from some main halls in the palace, for the most part, there weren’t any place they can’t set foot in. They defended the imperial palace’s security, and at the same time, they were actually also considered a kind of hidden danger. Because once they get grasped by a certain person, then for the most part, it was just equivalent to grasping the entire imperial palace’s lifeline. As such, this position of Great Commander was very crucial, needing to be cautious in choosing. And it was also because of this that there were that many people wanting to rope in Yu Zhong Qing. Everything else aside, even if not for the sake of causing a coup and rebelling, one can still more easily obtain information about the situation inside the palace.

“Replying to master, we are watching on all sides, and the things that need to be investigated, at the latest, we will know by tomorrow morning.” An Yi softly said outside.

If Jing Wan was awake, she perhaps would only be able to hear it roughly, but Li Hong Yuan heard it very clearly. “If it doesn’t implicate our qinwang manor and the Luo family, then no need to get involved. If someone dares to extend their hand over, no need to be polite, have it all chopped.” It’s not that Li Hong Yuan was thinking too much, but purely preparing for the rain. After all, that protective layer he had wrapped around on the outside was no longer as sturdy as it was in the past. It was still unknown whether someone had vaguely seen something, or perhaps they were getting sounded out, or someone choosing to rather kill wrongly than to let off. All in all, it was better to be on guard.

“Yes.”

Returning to the manor, Li Hong Yuan had Jing Wan carried back to the inner room with the heating installed, nice and warm. He also didn’t wake her, drawing the water to wipe her face, wash her hands, and soak her feet, also taking apart her hair, his movement all very light. Whenever Jing Wan showed the slightest signs of waking, Li Hong Yuan would just softly coax a few words by her ear. As such, all the way until the end, getting completely stuffed into the already warmed bed, Jing Wan at most was just in a blurry half-awake half-asleep state. After sinking in, she naturally just slept even more peacefully, and when Li Hong Yuan also climbed onto the bed, she just voluntarily and unconsciously leaned over.

Jin Qinwang had a strong and sturdy body, his blood fiery. In the winter, he was definitely a first-rate human heater. Just, in the summer, one perhaps will suffer a little. However, after going through summer, Jing Wan also knew, don’t assume that because it was hot, one can just break away from this man’s ‘clingy nature’.

The two of them were rather comfortable, but the majority of people in the palace definitely weren’t, regardless of the reason.

In front of Xian Consort Wei, the three highest ranked people of the imperial harem all met with mishap one after another. Aside from those that were worried due to their own interest, there were certainly also those that were worried for them genuinely. And as their maiden family, both types existed, all wanting to request Le Cheng Emperor to let them go see their family’s lady. Unfortunately never mind receiving permission, even the messenger all refused. Even if getting shoved with generous goods, at this time, no one dared to accept. Le Cheng Emperor’s mood was very bad to begin with. At this time, regardless of the reason, in his eyes, it was all just adding to the troubles. As such, going before him, that was practically just throwing oneself at the point of a spear. The inner court attendants weren’t idiots either. Taking the bribes, one still needed to live to enjoy, no?

Noble Consort Su’s hardships were only more and not less. On Le Cheng Emperor’s side, she has already gotten a mark recorded. If unable to reconcile with her foster son for a long time, then that mark will only endlessly increase. But, it just so happens that her relationship with her foster son was becoming increasingly stiff. To want to turn back, the premise was that she needed to be able to see the person. But the situation now…………..

Noble Consort Su was terribly unwell, but right now, she was still forcibly enduring. If she really collapses, it would only anger Le Cheng Emperor even more, solidifying the fact that she was sure enough feigning it, just recovering whenever she wanted, and falling ill whenever she needed.

Enduring until the last hour, even if things still haven’t been investigated clearly, Le Cheng Emperor still can’t continue having them detained here, and can only let them all return home.

How to put it, even the people that were still pretty happy from playing outside all faintly relaxed a breath.
