THE QUEEN'S TRUE LOVE

CHAPTER 43

When Peng Peng refused, Ying Yue instead accused Peng Peng of refusing because Peng Peng did not like her. Peng Peng denied, he actually liked Ying Yue very much, I swear. She also liked the child in Ying Yue's womb.

Ying Yue reasoned that he called Peng Peng to ask about the painter's matter and then turned to discussing about Qi Sheng who had painted himself.

Well, Peng Peng did not expect that Qi Sheng could paint as well. Peng wondered if the painting was a 'it' kind of painting'?

Ying Yue claimed it was unimportant because the most important thing was that the painting was a symbol of your sincerity. He even sat for hours to paint it. Did your Majesty ever draw Peng Peng?

Peng Peng denied that he did not have such paintings because he preferred to take photographs. Ying Yue pretended to be concerned and assured that she was instead deliberately showing off.

Don't worry, Peng Peng understands. A couple drawing pictures of each other is natural.

The next day, the concubines gossiped about her painting Ying Yue which was reportedly missing. They were thinning because Ying Yue claimed that he was the only one the Emperor had ever painted, even though the four of them had also been painted by the Emperor every time he was drunk.

Suspecting that Peng Peng had not learned of the matter, they went to Peng Peng who suddenly sprayed the water he drank when the concubines told him that Ying Yue accused Peng of being the thief of his painting.

"I stole the painting?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know yet, huh? That Madam Jiang made a fuss in You Lan Palace and said that you were the one who stole the painting. He even wanted to meet the Emperor because of this matter."

But Ying Yue claimed that Peng Peng stole his painting because Peng was jealous. Did the Emperor really never paint Peng? Of course not. Since this meeting resulted in nothing, Peng Peng quickly dispersed them.

Anxious Lu Li, went to meet Eunuch Qiang to ask about this matter. But Eunuch Qiang also did not know knowing because the current Emperor was still investigating him.

So what exactly is that missing painting? Why doesn't Peng Peng have it? Ask Lu Li.

Eunuch Qiang felt the painting was unimportant. It didn't matter also Peng Peng had it or not because everyone in the palace, including Eunuch Qiang, also had such a painting.

When the Emperor was drunk, he drew it too. Relieved, Lu Li immediately left without caring about the disappointed Eunuch Qiang being left behind.

Inside, Qi Sheng met Jiu Wang. Qi Sheng guessed that Jiu Wang wasn't busy lately? Jiu Wang claims that although there are no big problems, she is busy handling a lot of small things in the palace.

That means Jiu Wang is pretty idle. He has the ability, but nowhere to show it. So, what if Qi Sheng gave a task that could demonstrate Jiu Wang's ability? Jiu Wang agreed. 

"In You Lan Palace, Lady Jiang allegedly lost her painting. Investigate the situation there," Qi Sheng ordered.

That night, Yang Yan sneaked into Peng Peng's room. But at the same time, there was another intruder secretly peeking at Yang Yan.
