In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife! -
Chapter 1074 - 1069: No Good?
Chapter 1074: Chapter 1069: No Good?
He abruptly pushed Su Pan’er away, stood up in a hurry, and swung his legs off the dragon chaise lounge. He walked to the side and grabbed the shoes that were underneath the lounge, slipping them onto his feet.
"Yi, listen to me..."
Su Pan’er also quickly climbed up from the lounge, attempting to explain.
"You don’t need to say anything more! Whatever you say now is just a cover-up. What do you mean by those words? It’s one thing for outsiders to look down on my two princesses, but you? You, as their birth mother, their Empress Mother, do you look down on them as well?"
Qin Yi’s fury raged like a roaring fire, he bellowed loudly.
He turned back and yelled towards the outside, "Are you all dead? Why aren’t you coming in to serve me as I change my clothes!"
Having said that, he stormed off behind the foldable screen in a fit of anger.
The court ladies and internal attendants had already been frightened by the Emperor and Empress’s dispute, walking with trembling steps. Yet, they dared not defy the imperial command and hastened inside to attend to His Majesty as he changed.
"Your Majesty, I..."
Su Pan’er clumsily tumbled from the lounge onto the floor, trying to explain. A sense of panic was mounting in her heart, a pressing urgency spreading throughout her mind.
"What, you’re in such a hurry to push me into the arms of another woman? Fine, I’ll grant your wish!"
The fire of Qin Yi’s anger burned hotter, he didn’t even bother to put on clothes and turned, flinging his sleeves as he left, leaving Su Pan’er with a glimpse of his resolute figure!
"Qin Yi! Your Majesty..."
Su Pan’er, paying no heed to her disheveled state, hastily followed him outside the hall, only to see the eunuchs quickly chasing after him and exiting the hall.
The empty garden was now devoid of people, the chilly floor cold to the core!
She had never seen Qin Yi so angry before!
Or rather, she had never seen him display such anger towards her!
The Qin Yi she knew was always gentle and refined, his eyebrows and eyes even carried a smile when he was silent. He always cherished her, feared that any small mistake on his part would distress her.
But now he was roaring at her, bellowing, and disregarding her calls, abandoning her!
Su Pan’er hugged her arms around herself and slowly squatted down.
For someone like her who cherished cleanliness, how could she bear the thought of pushing her man into the embrace of another woman, but...
If she didn’t take this drastic measure, the ministers in court who kept presenting memorials on one hand and beauties on the other might one day propose to establish a new Empress!
"Empress, the weather outside is chilly, please hurry back inside the hall."
Behind her, the voice of Qingwen offering persuasion could be heard.
Su Pan’er stood up and walked inside, then turned back to take another look towards the main door.
She asked herself, if he truly went to another woman’s quarters, what would she do?
Qin Yi left Huayang Palace in a burst of rage.
Standing under a tree not far from the grand gateway, he gazed back at the entrance, hoping to catch a glimpse of that figure appearing.
But he was disappointed!
The night wind whirled leaves into the air, also cooling his heart, leaching away the warmth from his body and making him feel bitterly cold!
Eunuch An stood behind His Majesty, the disappointment in His Majesty’s eyes not escaping his notice. He gently stepped forward, silently raising the long robe high above his head.
After some time, Qin Yi finally looked away in disappointment, grabbing the long robe and wrapping it around himself, and strode forward with a heavy heart.
"To the Purple Zen Hall!"
"Proceed to Purple Zen Hall!" Eunuch An announced loudly in reply.
But this caused Qin Yi to turn back and glare at him.
Always playing these clever little tricks!
Eunuch An hurriedly lowered his head even further, pretending not to see the change in His Majesty’s expression.
Within Huayang Palace, Su Pan’er walked closer to the hall and heard from a distance the faint calling of Eunuch An’s greeting, instantly standing up.
"Quick! Go see if His Majesty he..."
But see what?
Su Pan’er bit her lip, the rest of her words stuck in her throat like a fishbone.
Qingwen stole glances at the Empress, signaling to the Palace Maid beside her. The little Palace Maid hastened out.
Soon, the little Palace Maid reported back, "Empress, His Majesty has gone to the Purple Zen Hall."
Su Pan’er couldn’t quite describe the feeling in her heart. With such scandal brewing, she couldn’t sleep anymore and almost kept her eyes open until dawn.
Qin Yi stormed off to the Purple Zen Hall in a rage.
"Leave!"
As soon as he entered the hall, without waiting for the trembling Eunuchs to speak, Qin Yi shouted and dismissed everyone.
The hall doors closed behind him unnoticed, and with a large sweep of his arm, he brushed off all items on the dragon desk—writing tools and Memorials to Emperor were scattered all over the floor.
Still not feeling vented, he saw the waist sword hanging on the wall, charged forward, and drew it, wildly hacking away inside the hall. The rosewood with gold inlay and mother-of-pearl dragon desk was suddenly missing a corner from his slash. The rosewood and jade inlaid Wang Xizhi’s "Thousand Character Classic" foldable screen also split in two, Golden thread curtains, jade tablets, white jade relief carved fish and shell lotus leaf brush washes... all such items were destroyed under his long sword.
From inside, a tumultuous noise erupted, while the people outside were so frightened they turned pale, yet none dared to provoke the tiger’s whiskers. They had no choice but to stand outside, listening anxiously to the disturbance within.
"Simply outrageous! What the hell is all this!"
Qin Yi was absolutely furious!
As he saw the Purple Zen Hall looking like it had been hit by a tornado, the fiery rage in his heart subsided somewhat.
Although he had stayed in the Purple Zen Hall for more than a day or two, the anger in his heart was not so easily quelled.
He threw the long sword on the ground and sank down onto the carpet. He thought back to how the night had started with both of them speaking and laughing together. But how had the topic turned so sour in the end? He couldn’t even remember!
However, there was one undeniable fact—Pan’er was right about one thing!
His issue might have been a simple one, but if Pan’er was hurt and there was no sign of pregnancy, not to mention the womenfolk of the Imperial Harem getting restless, even those old ministers wouldn’t be so easy to deal with!
It seemed, he had to think of a foolproof plan!
A once-and-for-all foolproof strategy!
There are no secrets in the Emperor’s inner circle.
The news of the Emperor and Empress quarrelling and turning their backs on each other spread quickly.
It was said that they had a fierce argument that night. His Majesty, in a thunderous rage, had even destroyed the entire Imperial Study in his anger.
It was said that the Empress was so enraged that she fell ill and couldn’t leave her bed, needing daily visits from the Imperial Physician of the Xuan Imperial Hospital.
There were also rumors that the discord between the Emperor and Empress was due to marital disharmony within their personal chambers...
All sorts of hearsay spread both inside and outside the palace, growing more exaggerated and mysterious as they circulated.
Eventually, the story morphed into the Empress being angry because His Majesty was impotent in bed.
Impotent?
At first, the ministers of the court didn’t believe such gossip.
But after their initial disbelief, thinking of all those flower-like womenfolk sent into the Imperial Harem, they began to feel uneasy.
Especially after His Majesty had secretly summoned the ancient Imperial Physician who specialized in male disorders to the Purple Zen Hall three times in succession. At the morning court session, they couldn’t help but stealthily scrutinize His Majesty’s eyes more than before.
For several consecutive morning court sessions, those Speech Officials who used to advise His Majesty "to accept more consorts and treat them equally" no longer presented their memorials. They all turned their attention to the recent Jiangnan Contribution Case, leaving Qin Yi feeling quite unaccustomed.
