Chapter 749 Discovery of an Affair
After eating and drinking, Emperor Jingyang stayed in Concubine Li's bedroom to sleep.
Concubine Li had the food on the table removed.
She lay in Emperor Jingyang's arms, but her mind was full of thoughts about King Nan Xiao.
She pretended to have a stomachache today in order to stop the Queen from taking Prince Nan Xiao away.
The plan was quite successful, but I don’t know whether King Nan Xiao has left or stayed in the palace?
Emperor Jingyang is here, so it is not convenient for Concubine Li to go and verify.
However, she knew that King Nan Xiao must be safe now.
Concubine Li was relieved about this.
After letting down her mental defenses, she felt sleepy and fell asleep.
The night was deep, a cool breeze blew, and the crabapple blossoms outside were scattered all over the ground.
Emperor Jingyang was awakened by thirst. In a daze, he heard a woman's hurried voice in his ear, with a hint of fear.
"Zhenglang, I really only love you. We have been together for more than 20 years, and I even gave birth to children for you. Don't you still believe me?"
"Zhenglang, don't worry, I will definitely kill Luo Chengyuan and let our son sit on the throne."
"Zheng Lang, give me a little more time. After Luo Chengyuan dies, I will abort the evil child in my belly. Then we can live together forever."
Emperor Jingyang: "..."
Emperor Jingyang: "!!!!"
At first he thought that Concubine Li was not feeling well.
Looking closely, I found that she was actually talking in her sleep.
And the content of the dream talk is quite explosive.
Every word he said was about Zhenglang, and every word he said was intended to kill him.
The most terrifying thing is that Concubine Li called him not Emperor Jingyang in her dream, but his real name Luo Chengyuan.
Emperor Jingyang himself didn't know how long it had been since he last heard of this name.
But it came out of Concubine Li's mouth in a very familiar voice.
From this we can see that Concubine Li should often call him Luo Chengyuan instead of the Emperor in private.
In addition, she also said that she would kill herself and help their son take the throne.
She even wants to live with her adulterer.
There was so much information in these words that Emperor Jingyang felt his blood boiling in his head and a surge of grief and indignation in his heart.
He inexplicably recalled all the details of how Concubine Li had interacted with him over the years.
Ever since she gave birth to Luo Junhe and Luo Qianxue, she had used the excuse of feeling unwell and needing to rest, and had not served the emperor in bed again.
At that time, many new people entered Emperor Jingyang's harem, so he no longer focused on Concubine Li.
Over time, she was naturally ignored.
Emperor Jingyang originally thought that Concubine Li felt that she was too old and was unwilling to compete for favor with other young concubines.
But the reality is that this is not the case at all.
There must be someone else in her heart.
Emperor Jingyang had seen portraits of other men in Concubine Li's bedroom.
But those portraits basically have no faces.
Moreover, Concubine Li said that she painted herself because she missed Emperor Jingyang too much, so she could only paint his portrait to ease her lovesickness.
When Emperor Jingyang heard this, he believed it to be true and did not pursue the matter any further.
Thinking about it now, he was really ridiculous for actually believing Concubine Li’s nonsense.
Weiyang Palace was not far from the palace where he was. If Concubine Li missed him, she could come to see him at any time. Why would she need to use a portrait to relieve her lovesickness?
She didn't dare to draw her face on the portrait. To put it bluntly, she was afraid that he would find out, right?
The more Emperor Jingyang thought about it, the angrier he became.
Concubine Li had been having an affair with another man for more than 20 years right under his nose. They even had children and were planning to seize his throne.
This is simply unreasonable!
Scholars can endure it, but who can’t?
What he hates most is people with impure intentions!
When Emperor Jingyang thought of this, he looked at Concubine Li's beautiful face and felt that she looked hideous.
"Snapped!"
He was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Concubine Li in the face.
At that time, Concubine Li was still dreaming. In her dream, she and Prince Nan Xiao were having a sweet and happy time together.
Suddenly, King Nan Xiao slapped her in the face, and Concubine Li woke up from her dream instantly.
The burning pain on her cheek told her that she was not dreaming, but was really slapped.
"How dare you! Who dares to beat me..." Concubine Li was furious. Just as she was about to lose her temper, she suddenly remembered that Emperor Jingyang stayed overnight in her Weiyang Palace last night.
She turned her head stiffly, and as expected, met Emperor Jingyang's angry eyes.
In his hand, he was holding a painting that Concubine Li had kept in the drawer of the bedside table next to him.
The man in the portrait was none other than King Nan Xiao.
However, out of caution, she did not describe the other person's facial features.
Emperor Jingyang spread out the painting, pointed at the man in it and questioned Concubine Li.
"Tell me, who is the man in this portrait?"
Concubine Li: "!!!"
Her face changed slightly and her heart skipped a beat.
She didn't understand why Emperor Jingyang would ask this question out of the blue?
Concubine Li's mind was working quickly. She immediately threw herself into the other's arms and cried, "Your Majesty, who else could the person in my portrait be except you?"
"I have already said it before. I drew your picture to relieve my pain of missing you. You can take it out and look at it whenever you miss Your Majesty."
"You are still lying to me!" Emperor Jingyang pushed her away, his teeth were chattering with anger.
When he asked that question, he clearly gave Concubine Li some face, but Concubine Li still refused to admit it.
Some even said that the person in the portrait was him.
He usually wore dragon robes and court robes made of gold brocade, and never wore Shu brocade.
It is obvious that the painting by Concubine Li is not of him.
Emperor Jingyang didn't have too many doubts before, but after he heard the other party's dream talking tonight, he found that everything became suspicious.
The more he looked at Concubine Li, the more he felt displeased with her.
Emperor Jingyang asked directly: "You have been having an affair with your adulterer for more than 20 years without telling me, and even gave birth to children for him. You are so bold."
"Tell me, who is this Zhenglang!?"
Emperor Jingyang was so angry that his head was about to explode. At this time, he did not yet suspect King Nan Xiao.
He just wanted to find out who the adulterer was that Concubine Li mentioned.
Concubine Li was already frightened silly at this moment.
She didn’t know how Emperor Jingyang knew all these things?
But fortunately, she still maintained some rationality and cried, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Since I was sixteen, my father sent me to the palace and I have been serving you, Your Majesty, until now. How could I have an adulterer?"
"Your Majesty, have you misunderstood me?"
Concubine Li wondered whether Emperor Jingyang had already captured King Nan Xiao and the other party had betrayed her.
But after thinking about it again, she overturned this theory.
If Emperor Jingyang captured King Nan Xiao, he would not ask himself who Zheng Lang was.
