C19 (1/2)
Within the palace, only the empress dowager, the emperor, and the empress had a bright yellow body. Emperor Sheng's birth mother died early, so there was no empress dowager in the imperial palace. If the empress was here, could it be that the empress was secretly having an affair with a certain guard?
Yue Chanjuan hesitated. The empress was not someone she should offend. If the empress were to have an affair with a guard, she did not want to interrupt such a good show.
Since he was forced to leave, a faint hatred arose in his heart. He was happy to see the Shengdi wearing a green hat.
Under the moonlight, the man revealed an exceptionally charming face. His face was like a lotus, his brows like willow trees, and his eyes were even more charming than peach blossoms. His skin was like snow, and his black hair scattered on the bed.
Such a familiar face, it had the scent of a fox spirit.
”Grand Concubine Yang …?”
Yue Chanjuan was stunned for a moment. Why would the grand imperial concubine be here and have an affair with a man?
”No, Grand Concubine Yang doesn't have the right to wear bright yellow clothes.”
Amongst the royal family, only the empress dowager, emperor, and empress had the right to wear them. On the clothes rack, there was a bright yellow robe with dragon patterns embroidered on it. Gradually, three dragons could be seen on the back, and on each of the left and right shoulders, there seemed to be one.
Yue Chanjuan almost couldn't believe her eyes. Among the royal family, one could wear yellow on the inside, or tie a bright yellow silk ribbon around his waist, indicating that he was a royal.
The Emperor's robes usually had nine dragon numbers, three front and three back, one on each shoulder and one on each side. Thus, each of the five gowns was suitable for the position of Emperor.
Besides, the bright yellow robe on the clothes rack was obviously the Emperor's dragon robe, worn by a man.
Yue Chanjuan suspected that she was wrong. How could this be? It would be reasonable if Grand Concubine Yang had an affair with a man here, but the emperor couldn't possibly be here.
Pressing his face to the crack, he looked in. At this moment, the man and woman together on the bed had changed positions. As such, that man's face happened to be facing upwards, right in front of Yue Chanjuan's eyes.
There was a smile on his face and his face was flushed red. There was only a pair of eyes that was abnormally bright. In the dim light, they were sparkling like a pair of cat's eyes.
”Shengdi!”
Yue Chanjuan almost cried out in shock as she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand. The adulterous couple below were actually Emperor Sheng and Grand Concubine Yang.
The moonlight shone through the window, illuminating the room. In the red silk curtain, there were two Night Pearls that emitted a faint light. Therefore, Yue Chanjuan saw it very clearly. It was precisely the two of them, the Shengdi [1] and the Grand Concubine Yang. There could be no mistake.
The shadow of the moon wavered and shook on the ground.
”You seductress, I will make you beg for mercy under me.”
Yue Chanjuan suddenly became clear-headed. What she had heard through her hazy vision just now was not 'true', but 'true'. To think that Emperor Sheng and Grand Concubine Yang actually had such a terrible relationship in their mother's palace.
His heart was both sad and resentful, but he didn't dare to make a sound. If Emperor Sheng and Grand Concubine Yang were to find out that she had seen through their relationship, they would definitely not let her live.
He quietly lied on the roof and looked around. Only then did he notice a few shadows wandering around in the distance. He must be one of the Emperor's personal guards.
