Chapter 320: A henpecked man? Outrageous!
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Xiaohui frowned.
Fei Wan said, "Nothing. It's His Majesty's fault that he suspects me. He will correct his mistakes."
Xiaohui blinked.
not understand.
But he unconditionally believed in the judgment of his own queen.
Then, let's wait for His Majesty to realize his mistake and apologize to the Queen!
I wonder what good things His Majesty will give to Your Majesty when the time comes...
Will it be better than what Concubine Yue gave?
Speaking of which, Concubine Yue is really generous and rich.
How come she is so rich!
……
"What? Tell me more."
It was late at night, but the lights in the east room of Chenqian Palace were still on.
The emperor was very surprised after hearing the report from Zhang Lin, the commander of the Tiger Guards, and asked him to elaborate.
Zhang Lin took out a booklet from his arms.
This was a record of everything the men he sent to spy on the Lu family saw and heard. Everything Lu Guinian and his family did, as well as their conversations, was written down in detail.
Recording every word without missing a single one is a skill that elite spies in the Tiger Guards must master.
One is the favorite concubine of the court, and the other is a favored minister in the limelight. When it comes to matters concerning them, the Tiger Guards will naturally send out the elites.
This elite group often carries out dangerous missions.
The kind that can cost you your life if you're not careful.
But today's mission had a rather unexpected outcome; it was like witnessing a spectacular display of the Hedong Lion's Roar. Upon returning, the spy joked with Commander Zhang Lin, suggesting that he be sent on more such missions in the future, saying they would be both safe and entertaining.
"Your Majesty, the words of Lord Lu and his wife are all written on it."
After handing the record book to the emperor, Zhang Lin lowered his head and waited.
After a while, the only sound was the rustling of flipping papers.
"Hahahaha!"
Suddenly, the emperor burst into hearty laughter.
He slammed the booklet on the table and laughed so hard that he fell over.
"Lu Guinian, oh Lu Guinian, you are so strong and unyielding in the court, you dare to target anyone, even me, but you turned out to be a henpecked man!"
Zhang Lin was stunned.
He did espionage and dirty work, and the atmosphere was generally solemn when he met with the emperor.
I have never heard the emperor laugh so loudly.
Today's task is also easy.
He joined in the fun and chimed in, saying, "Back home, people like this are called 'henpecked'."
"Oh?"
"He's a man who's afraid of his wife and obeys her every word. If his wife changes her attitude, he'll be so scared that his legs will go weak and he'll feel guilty."
The emperor laughed again when he heard this.
"Why, are there so many henpecked men in your family? Are the women there all rude and difficult to deal with?"
Zhang Lin said, "Customs vary from place to place. My hometown is remote and untouched by the teachings of the sages. Women there don't understand the importance of respecting their husbands. Local women also say that being a henpecked man isn't about being afraid of his wife, but about respecting and loving her, and can't bear to make her angry or upset."
"How can this be! How can such customs exist in this world?" the emperor laughed. "It's a good thing you left your hometown, otherwise you would have been tortured by women all your life."
Zhang Lin bowed and said, "Being able to serve Your Majesty loyally in the capital is the greatest honor of my life."
Flattery is very effective.
But if he had to choose, he really felt that the women in his hometown were quite attractive.
Lord Lu's wife is a bit like the women in his hometown in terms of her fierceness.
She is very beautiful.
Lord Lu is very lucky!
"You go now, and leave the book here."
The emperor sent Zhang Lin away and detained the record book.
I read the process of Lu Guinian being beaten carefully again, and I felt very happy.
It’s a relief to see that you have finally reached this day.
He felt relieved and his suspicion of Fei Wan was gone.
Although the suspicion was only a slight one, it still made him feel very uncomfortable.
How could the kind-hearted Fei Wan, the Fei Wan who regarded him as her heaven, the Fei Wan who was as beautiful as jade, be a person with ulterior motives who colluded with court officials?
"Cao Bin!"
"The slave is here."
"Go to Chunxi Palace!"
"Yes."
Cao Bin thought to himself, does this mean that Concubine Zhao has regained trust?
It took less than half a day.
This is too fast!
He was just about to leave Chunxi Palace when His Majesty went there himself...
What do you mean by stay away? Well, it’s better to continue to stay close to Empress Zhao!
"My lady, my little pony just came back from running errands and saw the dragon chariot coming our way. It will soon turn the corner and be on our way."
Xiangyi hurried into the inner room to report and reminded Feiwan to pack up quickly.
At this time, she was lying on the bed with disheveled hair, eating supper. Although a beauty is still a beauty when she eats, since she was going to meet the emperor, it would be better for her to be more beautiful.
Fei Wan urged her to go out and close the door: "Close the main door tightly, close the door of the room, and turn off all the lights, leaving only a few on. When the emperor arrives later, tell him that I went to bed."
