Chapter 174 The Mind Reader 6
Chen Yuan’s answer was: It’s too late!
She can't wait to enjoy her retirement life. She has worked so hard to manage the harem for the dog emperor, and even with his merits for hundreds of generations, she can never dream of such a good thing!
She quickly handed over the affairs in her hands, closed the Qiwu Palace, and even forgot to invite the concubines to pay their respects. She lived her own leisurely life.
The most surprised person in the entire emperor should be Chu Yu. Although he had verbally agreed to hand over the palace affairs to the four concubines, he also thought that this was a strategy of retreating to advance by the queen.
Because he was wary of the Pei family's influence in the harem, he was trying to make this matter a fact, and then chip away at her power bit by bit, so that she would have the feeling of shooting herself in the foot.
What he ended up receiving was the news that the Queen had really handed over all the palace affairs and had no regrets at all. It was as if he had thrown a punch with all his strength but missed. Chu Yu was completely stunned.
"What on earth are you planning?"
He frowned, unable to figure it out, so the emperor visited Qiwu Palace again.
"Long live His Majesty. Please forgive me for not getting up to greet you as I am not feeling well." Shen Yuan half-leaned lazily on the small couch and glanced at him perfunctorily.
[Why is the dog emperor coming here instead of accompanying his little lover? 】
It turned out that it was because of Mei'er that she was angry with me!
Hearing her thoughts, Chu Yu suddenly "understood" and couldn't help but sneered in his heart. Women are women, and they can never escape from jealousy.
He had thought Pei Yuanshuang had some conspiracy, but it turned out it was all for him.
[What's that expression on the dog emperor's face? Three parts of complacency, three parts of disdain, three parts of enlightenment, and one part of ridicule. Why is he drawing a fan-shaped diagram here? ]
Chu Yu's lips, which were about to rise, suddenly froze. It took a lot of effort to control the anger in his heart. He used a bass voice and softened his tone to say, "You and I have been husband and wife for many years. There is no need to talk about these empty formalities."
"I heard that Zi Tong's condition worsened, so I came here specially to visit." He looked at the woman on the couch and saw that her face was rosy and the faint blue color under her eyes had disappeared. She looked much better than the last time he saw her, and there was no sign of illness at all.
"Zi Tong seems to have recovered, so I'll leave the palace affairs to you. I can only feel at ease if you look after the harem."
[The dog emperor is really good at telling lies. He is clearly trying to test me to see if I am really willing to give up my power as the ruler of the palace, but he has to make it sound like he is deeply in love with me. Pah! Disgusting~]
She could see through his thoughts so easily! Chu Yu was shocked, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
Seeing his strange expression, Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but this thought only flashed through his mind, so he didn't express it in his heart.
She said calmly, "My illness is due to overwork. After two days of rest, my complexion has naturally improved a lot. However, the imperial physician has reminded me that I need to rest well and avoid stressing myself."
"So I have no choice but to betray your majesty's trust. The Imperial Concubine, the Shu Concubine, the De Concubine, and the Xian Concubine were all well-known when they were still in the boudoir. They are all good at managing the household."
"Your Majesty can rest assured and boldly entrust the palace affairs to them. I believe that the sisters will not let Your Majesty down."
These words completely blocked Chu Yu's words. He couldn't force the queen to take care of the harem despite her illness, right? He couldn't say that the four concubines were incompetent and that they were not as good as the queen.
If word of this were to get out, it would damage the reputation of the family behind them, and there would definitely be a fuss, which would be enough to make him very upset.
Besides, he didn't really want to ask the queen to come out, he was just trying to test her attitude.
Chu Yu had no choice but to say, "Forget it. Zi Tong's health is more important. Let's temporarily leave the palace affairs to the Imperial Concubine and the others! Zi Tong has worked hard over the years. You should take good care of her. I still can't live without you."
[This bastard wants to deceive my feelings again, I despise him~]
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Chen Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he looked unperturbed by fame or disgrace. If one could not hear her inner voice, who would have thought that she was cursing in her heart?
Chu Yu felt a lump in his chest, unable to breathe in or out, and felt extremely uncomfortable.
As expected, these women all say one thing and mean another. Mei'er is the only one in the world who thinks the same thing as you do, and her thoughts are written all over her face.
Then I only blame myself for changing my attitude towards her. Why don’t I reflect on whether she is worthy of my deep affection?
Chu Yu stood up angrily, flicked his sleeves and said: "Then Zi Tong, have a good rest, I will come to see you another day."
【Get out of here quickly! 】
The man paused, then strode away even more angrily, his anger as if materialized could be seen from his back.
strangeness……
Chen Yuan looked at the dog emperor walking away angrily, and a strange feeling rose in his heart again. He always felt that his reaction was a little wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
After thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out, so she decisively put the matter aside for the time being. Anyway, she had already decided to take the dog emperor's life. It was just a matter of time. When he died, all the wrongs would disappear.
The most important thing now is to find the spy around the original owner. She has not been idle these days. She has set up many traps for that person.
However, nothing was found, which surprised Shen Yuan.
You have to know that she knew very well that the spy was hiding very deeply, so she did not let anyone else do anything, and she did everything alone.
Then, relying on his five senses that were far superior to those of ordinary people, he secretly monitored everyone in the Qiwu Palace. However, he found that except for a few spies he had known about for a long time, there was nothing wrong with the others.
To be able to ruin the original owner's plans time and time again, this person must be lurking very close to her, otherwise it would be impossible for him to get so much information.
So first of all, we have to rule out the possibility that he is not in Qiwu Palace. However, everyone is under her surveillance, but she didn't find any problems. This is worth pondering.
It's impossible that this person is invisible, right? Shen Yuan thought to herself jokingly, and a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind, but she didn't think deeply about it. She began to wonder if the Dog Emperor used metaphysical means.
Shen Yuan lazily leaned back on the couch, tapping his fingers on the armrest. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.
Maybe it's some means that I don't understand yet, so I didn't discover it. But it's interesting this way, isn't it?
She unconsciously curled the corners of her lips, and for the first time she was aroused by the task.
Chu Rong finished his studies for the day and hurried to Qiwu Palace, where he saw his mother, who was rumored to be "too sick to get up," walking around the palace with a ruddy complexion.
Sometimes he would cut a flower or break a branch with great interest, with a faint smile on his lips. How could he look sick at all?
