Chapter 212 Unprepared
However, things are not as simple as Ling Yue expected. In less than two days, rumors circulated in the palace that Ling Yue was about to become the concubine of Emperor Xia. In addition to Ling Yue, there is also Xia Wuchen in the center of the incident. Although there is nothing in name, Ling Yue has lived in the Zhemei Hall of the Empress, which is an indisputable fact, so now such rumors have suddenly emerged, which can indeed be regarded as a scandal that must be dealt with as soon as possible.
As the originator of the incident, Ling Yue believes that Ouyang Wan was definitely the first person to hear the rumor. For this reason, she once found Ouyang Wan to determine whether he continued to spread rumors, but the answer was that Ouyang Wan only told Xia Wuchen and her, and never told anyone. Although it was a little unreliable, and Ling Yue also felt that Ouyang Wan was a little nervous, she still chose to believe it. However, Ouyang Wan has a reason to do so. Because he likes Xie Yinxue, and Xie Yinxue likes Xia Wuchen, he may really do that for the sake of his beloved woman. It's just that if only things were really that simple.
After careful investigation, Ling Yue finally determined that the originator of all the rumors was Emperor Xia, but Ling Yue did not intend to question Emperor Xia directly. She wanted to see how far things would develop.
After dozens of days, the rumor gradually stopped, and because there was no follow-up, it was over.
Is this just a boring rumor? So what's the reason for Xia Di to do this? No, it is impossible to do something without a reason. There must be some reason, but what is the reason? Creating such boring rumors can only be made by mentally ill people. It seems that Ouyang Wan did not gloated that day, but wanted to ask what was going on, and Emperor Xia must have wanted to tell Ling Yue through Ouyang Wan that the originator of this matter was me. So what Ling Yue would do next was naturally to go to Emperor Xia, but she did not do so.
Then the rumor disappeared. Is that all? If Emperor Xia expected that he would be indifferent to those rumors from the beginning, that is to say, things will be realized step by step according to Emperor Xia's own wishes. In the end, I didn't know what the goal was.
"The Queen is here." Listening to the sound of the palace people, Ling Yue lay on the table and got up very reluctantly.
"Weichen, see the Empress." Why do you have such tedious etiquette every time we meet? It seems that the reason why so many people compete for the throne is that a considerable part of the reason is that they hate those annoying etiquette. It must be like this.
"Don't be polite. I just want to talk to you today."
"Hmm." Ling Yue nodded, but thought in her heart that there was nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Hall. There was nothing to talk about this. I'm afraid even pigs would not believe it, but Ouyang Wan would probably believe it.
"How old are you this year, Ling Yue?" Yi Chuguan asked softly.
"I don't remember this." Ling Yue told the truth, but it sounded like a kind of irony in Yichuguan.
"Do you remember?"
Looking at Yi Chuguan's strange expression, Ling Yue realized that there was indeed something wrong with what she said and immediately said, "Ah, I really don't remember. Isn't it because I have amnesia, so it's normal not to remember my age. Er, Liuye will probably know, Liuye, how old am I this year?"
Liu Ye also shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"It doesn't matter. I just asked casually." Yi Chuguan did not intend to continue to struggle with the issue of age, and then changed the topic, "Ling Yue, you have lived in the uterus for a while. Have you ever thought about getting a name?"
"What name? Queen, do you mean that I should be canonized as the side concubine of the prince?
Yi Chuguan nodded and said nothing.
"I have never thought about what kind of name I want. What's the use of such a name?"
"How can you say such strange things about the use of reputation? If a woman doesn't ask for fame, what is it for?
"Maybe many women live for fame, but fame is of no use to me." Ling Yue said, "Empress, I know what you want to ask today. You want to know what happened to the rumors of the other day. If the Empress wants to know, I can only say that I don't know. Although the center of the matter is me, I really don't know what's going on."
"So, my dishes to confirm your attitude." Yi Chuwan Shao said.
"Attitude? What attitude?"
"Do you really want to marry the emperor?"
Ling Yue suddenly laughed: "You, what are you talking about? Will I marry the emperor? Don't you think this question is funny? Sorry, I know it's rude to do this, but it's really funny. Even if the whole sky falls, I won't marry the emperor. Don't worry."
"Why?" Yi Chuguan continued to ask.
"Why, Queen, your question is getting more and more strange." Ling Yue said, "Then why do you think I will marry the emperor?"
"It's because I don't know the reason why you don't marry the emperor that I want to know."
"Okay, since you asked, I'll tell you." Ling Yue said word by word, "I don't like to be raised by men, that's all. I don't like to use men to achieve my goal. Is it clear enough for me to say so?
Hearing this, Yi Chuguan could hear the sarcasm and disdain in Ling Yue's tone, so there was a little anger and hatred in her heart. Obviously, she was a girl without any power background. Why did she dare to be like this? What kind of arrogant capital is there? Is it only because there is a strong martial arts slave around to protect him that he dares to be so unscrupulous?
"You are really presumptuous." Yi Chuguan was light, but she had a strong sense of oppression.
Ling Yue smiled and said, "I don't mean anything special. I'm just telling the truth. Isn't that right? This is a very sad world. Although that world may not be much better, relatively speaking, I still like that world, that's all.
"Which world?" Yi Chuguan asked.
"The world you think about, isn't there a world that belongs to you in your heart?" Ling Yue said, "In my world, women should not pursue any reputation. Everyone should be independent. I think the world in your heart must be full of power and ambition."
"Don't you have power and ambition in your heart?"
"Yes, it's just that I don't like to achieve my ambition through men." Ling Yue said, "What you get like that will always be destroyed in an instant, and if you are not careful, you may burn yourself. It's too dangerous."
"It's an interesting statement to set yourself on fire."
Ling Yue's words are actually only due to her painful experience, so she said quietly, "Men can't be trusted. Well, not to mention this, I think my attitude is very clear. Do you have anything else to ask?"
"I think Ling Yue doesn't seem to trust others, not that you don't believe in men, but you can't trust anyone."
"Maybe a little, I don't know..." Ling Yue's expression began to become a little trance. She didn't know how to answer, because she couldn't find the answer in the deepest part of her heart.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah..." Suddenly, Liu Ye shouted loudly and fell to the ground, his limbs twitched, which seemed to be very painful.
Half an hour later, Liu Ye lay **, but his body still trembled slightly. Therefore, Yi Chuguan left first. And the royal doctor also went back after the recuperation prescription. When everyone left, Liu Ye jumped up from **, and there was no way to be sick before.
"You..." Ling Yue said, "Why did you suddenly get better? Did you just pretend?"
"Well, it's pretending." Liu Ye smiled and said, "If you don't do that, then you will be in danger."
"Dangerous, where is the danger?" Ling Yue said casually, but after a moment, she suddenly became alert, "Wait... Is there a fragrance just now?"
Liu Ye nodded and said, "Yes, sister, you are too careless. You should pay more attention to her detailed work."
"But I didn't ask about any strange smell. How can there be such a thing?"
"It's usually imperceptible, because the fragrance is colorless and tasteless." Liu Ye said, "So it's normal for you not to notice it."
"Since it is colorless and tasteless, why do you know about the night?"
"Because my sense of smell is more sensitive than others, so I know." Liu Ye said as a matter of course.
"Sure enough, your attributes are quite strange."
