Chapter 560 March Arrives
Emperor Shenwu chuckled and said, "Weak, if you were to fall into this glass tank, you really wouldn't be able to defeat this fish!"
Lan Qingwu hurriedly approached Emperor Shenwu, and Emperor Shenwu naturally hugged her tighter.
"Brother Heng, these two fish are hard to catch, right?"
The Divine Martial Emperor said calmly, "It's nothing! The fact that these Black Dragon and Silver Phoenix fish can make Ruo Ruo smile is a blessing for them!"
The two affectionate black dragon and silver phoenix fish had started playing mouth to mouth at some point, kissing and swimming in circles, making Lan Qingwu blush.
The atmosphere in the hall gradually became hot. Emperor Shenwu lowered his head and couldn't help kissing Lan Qingwu's delicate lips in his arms. Lan Qingwu clung tightly to Emperor Shenwu's neck. Emperor Shenwu kissed her softly, restraining the person in his arms, greedily absorbing her unique breath.
Emperor Shenwu's breathing gradually became heavier. "Ruoruo, now that we've found these two fish, shouldn't you reward me well? Am I sincere enough?"
Emperor Shenwu carried Lan Qingwu directly back to the bedroom in the main hall. After waiting for so long, he finally didn't have to endure it anymore.
"Your Majesty, wait..." Lan Qingwu spoke quickly as he thought of something, and pushed Emperor Shenwu's broad shoulders.
Emperor Shenwu was in the heat of passion and kissed Lan Qingwu's lips directly, making her voice fade away. Lan Qingwu, whose consciousness gradually became dizzy, felt her clothes being removed one by one.
She finally became a little anxious and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Heng, today..."
"What's wrong today? I know it's not your period."
Emperor Shenwu kissed Lan Qingwu's snow-white neck, beautiful collarbone, and continued to extend his kiss downwards...
"Your Majesty, March is here!"
Emperor Shenwu heard it clearly, then he paused and raised his head in surprise, "March is here?"
A few days ago, Emperor Shenwu noticed that March was almost here, but he always thought that there was still some time left, so he turned his attention to finding the Ink Dragon Silver Phoenix Fish. He didn't expect that time flies so quickly and it's here so soon?
Lan Qingwu's voice was gentle but firm: "It's past midnight. According to the time, it's already March."
March was the month for praying and offering sacrifices to the late emperor. Ever since the year Emperor Shenwu ascended the throne, he would observe a vegetarian diet throughout the entire month of March, praying for the late emperor. Over the years, Emperor Shenwu never stopped.
Emperor Shenwu endured so much that veins popped on his forehead. Finally, he took a few deep breaths to calm down. He rolled off Lan Qingwu, reached out and pulled the brocade quilt on the bed, covering them both. He closed his eyes and said, "Sleep!"
The voice was full of gnashing teeth, and Lan Qingwu felt a little guilty: "Brother Heng, are you angry?"
Emperor Shenwu reached out and embraced Lan Qingwu: "Why didn't you remind me earlier?"
Lan Qingwu responded softly, "I originally wore the fishtail skirt today just to tell Brother Heng, but who knew you'd turn around and leave? Then you spent almost an hour admiring the Black Dragon and Silver Phoenix fish!"
The time has come.
Emperor Shenwu was somewhat speechless: "I thought you wore the fishtail skirt to remind me that I haven't found the two fish yet..."
Lan Qingwu also fell silent. Facts proved that misunderstandings were caused inadvertently. "Your Majesty..."
She nestled into the arms of the Shenwu Emperor and said, "I'm going to hand-copy some scriptures to pray for the late emperor... Your Majesty, how about you and I sleep in separate rooms for the next few days?"
Thinking of the unbearable next month, Emperor Shenwu tightened his arms, but said lightly: "Ruoruo, don't say anything now! I feel upset when you open your mouth!"
Lan Qingwu fell silent, hugging the Emperor Shenwu's waist ingratiatingly and nestling her upper body into his arms. Seeing that the Emperor Shenwu had closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, Lan Qingwu carefully lay on his chest, observing him for a while, quietly kissed the corner of his lips, and then she fell asleep in his arms with peace of mind. A silent night!
The next morning, the month of prayers and sacrifices for the late emperor arrived. Lan Qingwu was busy leading the harem to copy scriptures, pray, and offer sacrifices for the late emperor. Emperor Shenwu was also busy in the court. One was for the late emperor, and the other was that the war in which Haicheng assisted Haiguo in clearing out pirates had reached a white-hot stage.
Lan Qingwu received a series of letters of remonstration from Qian Zining of the Sea Kingdom. This made him worried. During this time, the Lan family sent a letter to the palace, and Lan Qingwu returned to the Lan residence twice.
It was during this troubled time that a rumor quietly began to spread in the imperial city. Although the rumor was groundless, it grew more and more intense as it spread. It was about some things that had to be said about the Queen Mother and the court officials. The rumor said that the two had grown up together and were deeply in love, but unexpectedly, fate played a trick on them. The court official was adopted into the Queen Mother's family, and the two became cousins. The court official could only bury his feelings.
Who would have thought that the woman would later become the current empress, and the man would become a high-ranking official in the imperial court. The two could only swallow the bitter fruit in their hearts and stare at each other from afar. Until the empress became the only one favored by the current emperor, and the emperor took pity on the empress and allowed the empress to visit her family at the Lan residence once or twice a month. God is merciful, the two lovers can finally see each other once or twice a month to ease their longing for each other!
This rumor spread quickly in the imperial city. This kind of romantic gossip was of the greatest interest to the common people. By the time Emperor Shenwu became aware of it, it had been circulating for nearly ten days.
It can be imagined how shocked Emperor Shenwu was when he found out. He stood up in a rage and slammed the imperial desk with his palm, causing the memorials on it to shake three times.
"nonsense!"
"Li Xiang, investigate for me! Arrest all these people for me!"
The emperor was furious and millions of people were killed. For a time, the dungeon of the imperial city prefect was filled with people. Emperor Shenwu ordered Lin Suzhi to investigate and punish those who spread rumors and slandered the queen mother. Lin Suzhi was very capable and he eliminated the source of the rumor in just two or three days. Emperor Shenwu even ordered the ringleader to be beheaded in public.
The rumors in the market gradually died down, and storytellers came again to talk about the kindness of the current queen, who had rescued countless elderly, weak, women and children. She was the epitome of a mother who was the model of the country!
In the bedroom of the main hall of Qianzheng Palace, Emperor Shenwu looked tired, a rare sight. He had been busy for half a day, and when he returned to his bedroom, he saw Lan Qingwu sleeping peacefully. Emperor Shenwu watched for a moment before climbing onto the bed and holding Lan Qingwu in his arms.
March passed in a hurry, and the peach blossoms in the peach forest were about to fall. Lan Qingwu ordered people to break off many peach branches with flower buds in advance and put them in a bottle of spiritual water. This way, the peach blossoms would bloom longer and more beautifully.
Late at night, the Shenwu Emperor was like a handsome beast of unrivaled beauty; he would certainly not let Lan Qingwu go. From within the red curtains, the woman's delicate moans continued to emanate. Lan Qingwu's consciousness was completely blank, and the Shenwu Emperor's energy seemed inexhaustible.
Finally, Lan Qingwu was a little scared, but she couldn't escape the big palm of the Shenwu Emperor. His big palm tightly pinched Lan Qingwu's slender waist, and his whole body hugged her from behind. He sucked on Lan Qingwu's snow-white earlobe and whispered in her ear: "Wei Ruo, it was you who insisted on provoking me..."
Lan Qingwu was unable to answer, sinking into another round of ups and downs...
Beneath the Shenwu Emperor, Lan Qingwu sobbed and begged for mercy… fainted and woke again… When she regained consciousness the next morning, her entire body ached and felt weak, covered in red and purple marks. She hadn't felt this miserable in a long time. She couldn't even lift a finger. She thought she'd never dare "punish" the Shenwu Emperor like this again, but in the end, she was the one who suffered the punishment.
