"My Lord is a Stone"《我家君王是石头》Chapter 29

Zhao Jin Yu was still not at ease, she said, “I need to speak with Auntie Chen.” Even though the stone had made her feel at ease that he was there for everything, but listening was just cheered her up, she still didn’t believe it, again afraid that the stone would not be happy, she said, “I know you have the ability, but, currently you’ve used up your spirit power…”

The words were supposed to be comforting, but in the end the more she spoke the more provocative it was, at least that was how the emperor heard it, he stared at Zhao Jin Yu, humph, Zhao Jin Yu jumped in shock, she thought to herself she had spoken wrongly, who would have imagined the stone impatiently saying, “Go.”

Zhao Jin Yu’s heart settled down, comfortingly she kissed the stone, seeing that even though he was whining, yet he did not get angry, then did she put on clothes to go out.

When she left a shadow pushed open the window, blowing in like a burst of wind.

“Your Majesty, those people have assembled a group together nearby, they ought to be thinking of acting tonight.” An Wen Yao bent his knees kneeling on the ground, he also didn’t lift his head, speaking as he firmly looked to the ground.

The emperor rolled around once on the silk handkerchief, the light yellow silk set off his milky white plump body, he looked very cute, but the words he spoke however held a stern determination, he said, 

“Kill them all for us, don’t allow a single one to live.”

“At your imperial majesty’s command.”

“Hang those people’s severed heads on the city wall as a warning.” The emperor’s gaze was profound.

An Wen Yao’s expression was cold, respectfully saying, “At your imperial majesty’s command.” He has always listened and obeyed the emperor, so long as the emperor orders it he would never ask the reason, he would only think of ways to accomplish it, this was also the reason why the emperor favoured him the most.

“Where is Su Qing Chen?”

“In the temple near here.” An Wen Yao said.

Thinking about it Su Qing Chen was somewhat pitiful, because there was only one tavern in this area, in order to avoid Zhao Jin Yu’s attention, he could only find a worn out temple nearby to stay temporarily, with such a position as his, it could be considered as simple and crude.

“He is becoming more and more inappropriate doing this assignment.” The emperor lowered his voice to say.

An Wen Yao’s heart thudded…, all of sudden he started to feel a little sympathy for Su Qing Chen, the emperor clearly treats this Lady Zhao differently, Su Qing Chen however approached her without apprehension, so much so that he wanted this young lady to like him, wasn’t he courting death?

Sure enough he very quickly heard the emperor say, “Make him keep night vigil outside the tavern.”

“At your imperial majesty’s command.” When An Wen Yao thought of Su Qing Chen keeping night vigil trembling outside in the very cold winter, he was suddenly filled with sympathy, but he also felt a bit in his heart that he deserved it. 囧

When Zhao Jin Yu had gone Chen Rong had just left, she could only go back, at night when she was in bed ready to sleep then did she hear the sound of Chen Rong knocking on her door, “Lady Zhao?”

“Auntie Chen.” Zhao Jin Yu got up throwing on a cloak, to open the door.

When Chen Rong heard Zhao Jin Yu’s words she jokingly said, “Don’t worry, someone will eventually deal with us.”

Zhao Jin Yu, “…”

Chen Rong saw Zhao Jin Yu’s confused expression, she explained, “That tail is still following us, I saw it just now…” Chen Rong couldn’t help smile, with a sort of joy at someone’s misfortune, she had gone out just now to see if there were anyone lying in wait around, Tiangui sect has always been somewhat unforgiving, they certainly wouldn’t let them go this easily, who would have imagined she would actually see a familiar figure at the door.

“What is it?”

Chen Rong immediately realised she could not say these things to Zhao Jin Yu, she was a young lady who had been kept at home, she firmly said, “All in all, you don’t need to worry, you just need to sleep peacefully.”

Zhao Jin Yu was baffled, but recalling that Chen Rong always handled matters appropriately, her heavy heart settled in her stomach.

Chen Rong returned to her own room, she opened her window a sliver, sneakily glancing out, she saw wearing a thick outfit, Su Qing Chen still standing at the door with an amiable appearance, again her heart immediately was not at ease, she muttered, “A high official off the imperial court, running after a young lady like this…, could it really be devotion?” Only no matter how much she thought about it 

she couldn’t think of what Su Qing Chen could be obsessed about with Zhao Jin Yu, in the end she could only conclude it was passionate love, lying on her bed, with her eyes closed she couldn’t help think, who hasn’t been frivolous when young? Even she had given up everything for the person she loved right?

Zhao Jin Yu returned to bed, kissing the stone, she said, “I feel that things recently have been smooth sailing, is it because you are protecting me?”

The emperor haughtily said, “Of course.”

Zhao Jin Yu smiled, placing the stone on her chest, saying, “I really wish everything will be over soon.” Adoptive mother’s heartlessness, it would be a lie to say it didn’t naturally hurt, only maybe because she had already been mentally prepared before, that’s why when it came to actually facing her, she felt it truly is like this, afterwards her heart was especially serene. It was like her heart which had always been suspended finally came falling down.

“Last time I asked you to help me make enquiries about my older brother.”

“Yes.” The emperor laid on Zhao Jin Yu’s soft cleavage, smelling the familiar fragrance, unexpectedly a somewhat different feeling appeared in his heart…, if he wasn’t a stone right now, but in his normal body?

“There’s no need.” From now on she had no relations with them.

The emperor rubbed against Zhao Jin Yu’s chest…, at first it was because he wanted to get her 

attention, it’s just that he accidentally touched her nub, the ice-cold stone, touching the sensitive skin made Zhao Jin Yu’s body shiver instinctively, she couldn’t help say, “Don’t move.” That voice unconsciously held a little skittishness.

The emperor’s heart was set to a steaming blaze, burning his mouth and tongue dry!

Zhao Jin Yu also felt somewhat embarrassed, but very quickly she was at ease, it was only a stone spirit, in accordance to human age it was only a small baby, and did not matter, she patted it saying, “Little thing, behave for me.”

The emperor thought he might be ill, he slept very late that night, when An Wen Yao came to report those people had already been handled, then did he sleep, but in his dream he dreamed of a pair of male and female fierily rolling around beneath the curtains, an ambiguous atmosphere, scorching knife like temperature, slender white calves, then…, seeing their faces clearly, he stopped breathing, wasn’t that Zhoa Jin Yu and him?

The next day, inside the imperial palace in the capital city.

Rui Fu thought the emperor was rather strange today, he actually abruptly asked for someone to serve him in bed! Thinking about it the emperor always found women as somewhat unnecessary, a pure heart with few desires like a practicing Buddhist monk, ever since the former imperial consort had died of illness no one had been able to approach the emperor, in this way the harem became more and more of a decorative thing.

However today, all of a sudden when the emperor woke up, he even asked for someone to serve him in bed? Would you call that weird?

Imperial concubine Zhao was simply a little wild with joy, the emperor actually summoned her to serve his bed! When she received the imperial decree she was so moved she kneeled on the floor almost unable to stand, afterwards it was the palace maids to the side who lifted her up.

The emperor watched imperial concubine Zhao walk over elegantly and supplely with his usual expression, taking off the outer white fur cloak, it revealed the flimsy but shape revealing lake green qixiongruquni,[1] fair plumpness half covered, under the sunshine it had a kind of enchanting character.

Rui Fu stood at the door, like a door god, he thought the emperor’s pure heart with few desires lifestyle had been going on for too long, this time it should go on for a bit longer right? He had already been prepared to stay very late into the night, who would have imagined suddenly the screech of imperial concubine Zhao came from inside followed by the emperor’s cold and resolute chiding, 

“Get lost.”

The door was opened, imperial concubine Zhao was semi naked from the waist up, ashamed and resentfully wishing for death, hugging her clothes she wept endlessly running out.

What was this?
