Chapter 2 This humble servant is guilty. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!
Just then, a beautiful woman approached and asked softly with a charming voice.
Jiang Chen was stunned. What nonsense!
Even if he was about to die, he had to enjoy himself first!
"Summon Consort Shu. All of you, leave!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Jiang Chen's order, the beautiful woman didn't dare to breathe loudly, and her eyes were filled with suspicion.
What's wrong with His Majesty today?
He seemed unable to walk away once he saw Consort Shu!
Didn't he used to hate Consort Shu the most?
…
A moment later, Consort Shu walked to the bedside.
Jiang Chen frowned, seeing her so restrained.
Something's not right!
This little beauty is acting strangely!
Although ancient times were very particular about hierarchical relationships, she was, after all, considered his wife. Why was she so afraid of him?
"My dear consort, have I been treating you badly?"
Jiang Chen asked the question directly, trying to recall some information about the woman in front of him.
But it was all in vain; he couldn't remember a single thing.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has naturally been very good to me!"
Consort Shu's delicate body trembled, and her exquisite face was frightened pale.
Jiang Chen helplessly rubbed his forehead. "Is that so?"
Consort Shu noticed the emperor's action, and her heart trembled. She hurriedly begged for forgiveness, saying:
"I am guilty. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, several familiar faces flashing through his mind. He looked at Consort Shu and said in a deep voice:
"It's just a set of clothes; why make such a fuss! My dear consort, there's no need to blame yourself!"
Consort Shu's face froze. Looking at the supreme ruler in front of her, she couldn't help but feel bitter. She turned her head slightly and said with her head lowered:
"Has Your Majesty forgotten? The crime I committed was not ruining Zhao Meiren's clothes! It was offending Consort Mei!"
She closed her eyes in humiliation, her body trembling slightly.
Just because of Consort Mei's words, she, who was also a consort, was made to act as a maid!
It was simply a great humiliation!
A glimmer of hope rose in her heart.
Heavens, please quickly restore His Majesty's reason!
Don't let him be bewitched by treacherous ministers and bewitching concubines anymore!
As if hearing her heart's voice, Jiang Chen's face flashed with a trace of doubt. "Offend? What offense? You are both consorts; how can there be any talk of offense?"
Consort Shu widened her beautiful eyes in surprise, looking at Jiang Chen as if she had seen a ghost.
Before she could ask, she heard Jiang Chen say, "Who is Consort Mei? Why can't I remember? And dear consort, why are you so afraid of me? Tell me everything that has happened in the past two years!"
Horror, excitement, fear, doubt.
These emotions quickly enveloped Consort Shu's heart:
"Your Majesty, have you lost your memory?"
"I just woke up from a nap, and there are indeed many things I can't remember. Please answer my questions, dear consort."
"You don't even remember Consort Mei?"
Consort Shu's eyes were filled with tears as she quietly looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat. Almost without hesitation, he pulled her into his arms, embracing her slender waist.
In an instant, his nostrils were filled with the fragrance of a woman.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but swallow. He said somewhat impatiently, "Dear consort, please tell me quickly!"
After she finished telling him, he could get down to business!
Leaning against Jiang Chen's chest, Consort Shu felt uneasy.
First, it was Jiang Chen's attitude towards her.
Second, it was the matter of Jiang Chen's amnesia.
Third, it was…
Feeling the obvious abnormality below her, Consort Shu's pretty face flushed slightly. She gently pressed against Jiang Chen's approaching chest with her hand:
"Your Majesty, if you do this, Consort Mei will be angry!"
Consort Mei!
Consort Mei again!
A trace of displeasure flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes. Looking at the beauty in his arms, his tone was full of majesty:
"I am the emperor! What I want to do is not up to a mere consort to be unhappy about!"
Jiang Chen's words were sonorous and forceful, and a look of astonishment appeared in Consort Shu's eyes.
Looking at the man in front of her, she actually shed tears:
"Your Majesty, you are finally awake!"
Wiping away her tears with her slender fingers, Consort Shu was now completely certain. The man in front of her had indeed become a different person due to amnesia.
"Why are you crying, dear consort?"
Jiang Chen hugged her into his arms with pity. He couldn't stand a woman's tears the most. Consort Shu's pear blossom-like appearance made Jiang Chen feel a pang of heartache.
"Don't cry, dear consort!"
Embraced in his broad arms, Consort Shu cried even more unrestrainedly. She tightly grasped the front of Jiang Chen's chest, her expression very aggrieved:
"Your Majesty, in the past two years, you have favored Consort Mei exclusively. For Consort Mei's sake, you have even disrupted the court and suppressed ministers from other families!"
"Consort Mei's family relied on your favor and became arrogant. They quickly rose to power and even placed many helpers around the emperor and in the harem…"
The beauty in his arms trembled as she cried. Jiang Chen's heart ached as if it were breaking.
He raised the beauty's chin and gently licked away Consort Shu's tears.
Her accusations struck Jiang Chen's heart one by one. Besides heartache, his heart was also filled with disbelief.
No way?
For Consort Mei, he even disrupted the court?
Before Jiang Chen could think deeply, Consort Shu raised her delicate face like a pear blossom: "Your Majesty! Please be more rational! Don't forget the country for the sake of love!"
Consort Shu poured out all the grievances of many years in one breath, her tears falling like rain.
In the past two years, she had not advised His Majesty to be impartial and put the country first. But such loyal advice was rewarded with beatings and scolding!
The collapse of the great mansion was obviously unstoppable by Wei, and before, when the national treasury was empty, the emperor still insisted on his own way and repaired many palaces for fun.
Thinking of this, she sobbed non-stop.
Helpless, Jiang Chen could only hold her in his arms, constantly patting her back to comfort her.
Where could he find such a affectionate and patriotic woman?
Feeling the clothes in front of his chest constantly being soaked, Jiang Chen made up his mind. He whispered in Consort Shu's ear:
"Don't cry. From now on, I will never let you cry again! Also, I have already decided to make you the empress. Tomorrow morning, I will announce this matter!"
Such an honor directly stunned Consort Shu, and she even forgot to cry.
Consort Shu stared blankly at Jiang Chen, constantly twitching her nose, looking at Jiang Chen in disbelief: "Your Majesty, are you serious?"
Jiang Chen stared at her beautiful eyes and said in a deep voice: "Of course! My dear consort values the country so much, and she is so loyal to me. Now that I am awake, how can I let down your hard work?"
Consort Shu blinked her eyes in shock, seemingly overwhelmed by Jiang Chen's decision. Her shoulders even trembled slightly. After a long while, she knelt in front of Jiang Chen with red eyes.
From Jiang Chen's perspective, it was simply a stormy sea.
"Although I am grateful for Your Majesty's kindness, please take back your order!"
She refused?
Jiang Chen was somewhat stunned.
Consort Shu's frozen heart gradually melted, and her eyes showed more gratitude as she looked at Jiang Chen:
"Your Majesty, I am naturally very grateful for such an honor."
"But there are constant storms in the court right now, and I don't want Your Majesty to have to deal with them for this matter."
"It won't be too late to announce this matter after Your Majesty has cleared the court and rectified everything!"
Her posture was weak, and she wasn't even wearing a proper hairpin, but Consort Shu seemed dignified and appropriate at this time.
Her eyes were full of sincerity!
Looking at the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him, Jiang Chen was a little moved.
With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?
Getting up from the bed, Jiang Chen personally pulled Consort Shu up from the ground. He put his arms around her waist and lowered his head to stare into her eyes:
"My dear consort, I already know your intentions."
"Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well in the future! And I have decided to give you the position of empress."
"As you said, when everything is settled, I will definitely make you empress!"
Surrounded by the man's aura, Consort Shu's pretty face blushed slightly, and for a moment, she showed a bit of a daughter's shyness.
"I thank Your Majesty! With Your Majesty's heart, I am willing to do anything for Your Majesty!"
Through a layer of thin gauze, Jiang Chen only felt that the skin under his hands was like warm jade, soft and smooth to the touch.
He smiled, and directly picked up Consort Shu in his arms.
Looking at her panicked expression, Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "There's no need to do anything extreme. There's one thing you can do here."
Curled up in Jiang Chen's arms, Consort Shu subconsciously put her arms around Jiang Chen's neck, her graceful figure was in full view under his eyes. With his movements, the cloud-like softness was also constantly rippling.
Realizing what was about to happen, Consort Shu's face was already covered with blush. She anxiously wrapped her arms around Jiang Chen's neck and said in a mosquito-like voice:
"Although I have been married to Your Majesty for many years, I am still a virgin. Please… please be gentle with me!"
It would have been better if she hadn't said these words. After saying them, Jiang Chen became even more excited!
He impatiently carried Consort Shu to the bed, opened the hibiscus curtains and covered her body, kissing the beauty's long eyelashes.
Jiang Chen only felt dry mouth, and his movements became fierce for a while.
"Don't worry, dear consort, I will definitely not hurt you!"
As he spoke, the hibiscus curtains fluttered down from the top of the bed, covering the two intertwined figures.
The next day, just as the sky was beginning to brighten.
Jiang Chen was gently awakened by Consort Shu.
Opening his eyes, he saw the beauty lying on his chest.
Compared with yesterday, she had a bit more of a woman's charm. He leaned down and kissed her face.
Jiang Chen propped himself up:
"Should I go to court?"
Consort Shu quickly got up, helping Jiang Chen get out of bed while serving him to wash his face and rinse his mouth, saying.
"At court today, perhaps the ministers will ask you about the Wei River flood. There is much discussion about this matter in the court, please, Your Majesty, be clear about it."
After putting on his court clothes, Jiang Chen looked radiant.
"Much discussion?"
"I'll see who dares!"
