The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 68 Little tricks (2)

"En." The emperor replied coldly, but didn't pay much attention to it.

After Liang Jiugong left, the emperor raised his eyes to look at Xida again, with a gloomy light that was hard to see through. He paused for a while, and said softly: "The imperial physicians don't have to guard, it is enough to leave the imperial physician Sun alone. , and everyone else went back to guard their posts."

"Yes." Everyone nodded, and the eunuchs left one after another.

When Xida was about to leave, the emperor suddenly stopped him: "You stay and take care of her."

Hearing the sound, Xida paused, and looked at the emperor in disbelief, but after the emperor finished speaking, he didn't look at him again, turned around and left the side hall with his hands behind his back, his body still upright.

Xida slowly frowned, and her warm eyes gradually revealed a cold color.He has always been the shrewdest and most capable of the imperial guards, otherwise he would not have been the only one who escaped except for Ao Jia when he searched the Qing Palace.But the emperor at this time made him unable to see through it at all. This feeling made it easy to feel flustered.

When the emperor was gone, several imperial guards who had a good relationship with Xida couldn't help but stay and tease him.A guard named Huang Ruibao patted Xida's right shoulder with a smile, and while looking at the velvet on the couch, he teased and said, "You're all right, such a handsome little maid?"

Another guard also directly put his hand on Xida's left shoulder, and echoed: "You Tumen Xida is finally a twig tree blooming, and you are still the eldest maid in Concubine Yi's palace. If you can be married by the emperor, Yi The imperial concubine will definitely give you a lot of rewards."

Huang Ruibao laughed loudly, "The emperor has allowed him to stay here to take care of the beauty, can this be far from granting a marriage?"

As he spoke, Huang Ruibao clasped Xida's back shoulder and patted his forearm, and said heartily, "Don't worry brother, I will definitely give you a big gift when you get married."

Listening to the chatter of the noisy people around her, Xida pulled a helpless smile and said softly, "Okay, let's talk a few words, it won't be good if you wake people up."

"Oh, it's so boring." Huang Ruibao smiled and said again, then took off the hand that was on Xida, and left with the other guards: "Okay, let's go."

By the time Jiaorong woke up, it was almost night.She narrowed her eyes slightly, the scene in front of her seemed a little familiar and gorgeous, and before Jiao Rong was fully awake, Yi Zhu had already moved over.

"Sister!" Yizhu's gentle voice was a little louder at this time, she knelt down to the side of the couch, and stretched out her hand to hold Jiaorong's slender fingers.

Jiaorong's eyes slowly opened, and she turned her head to see Yizhu's small face.Due to being in a coma for too long, Jiaorong was a little dazed at the moment, she parted her dry thin lips, and said hoarsely: "Yizhu..."

"Sister, how do you feel?" Yi Zhu'e frowned slightly, and her hands clenched Jiaorong a little bit, it was not difficult for people to notice the tension in her tone.

At this moment, Xida silently poured a glass of water from the side, and slowly handed it to Yizhu's hand, motioning her to feed Jiaorong and drink it.Seeing this powerful arm, Jiao Rong raised her eyelids slightly, and through the light of the setting sun outside the window, she could clearly see Xida's handsome and extremely gentle side face.

He was still so taciturn, but he handled everything perfectly.Jiaorong stared at Xida in a daze for a while before noticing Yizhu's hand holding the teacup.

It was the familiar imperial teacup again.

Jiao Rong put her hands behind her and sat up slowly. Her lips were already very dry due to not drinking water for a long time.So Jiaorong didn't hesitate any longer, took the teacup and drank it in one gulp.

After returning the teacup to Yi Zhu, Jiao Rong belatedly realized: "My clothes have already been changed?"

Yizhu handed the teacup back to Xida's hand, nodded slightly to Jiaorong, and said in a low voice: "It was the emperor's permission. Not only did I change your clothes for you, but also specially asked us to glue the clothes on the bed. Change the blood-stained quilt so you can rest."

Hearing this, Jiao Rong subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover her lower back, and frowned slightly: "Then I..."

In the middle of speaking, Jiao Rong paused, and Yizhu didn't react for a while, and asked in a daze: "What?"

Xida next to him gave a chuckle, causing Jiao Rong to turn her head and look at him in an instant.Xida stood aside with her arms folded, watching Jiaorong raised her eyebrows lightly, her tone was still very gentle: "It's rare that you are a little smart enough to know how to wrap a few layers of thick cloth around your waist, otherwise you will fall down with a few boards. If the little body is not paying attention, it will fall apart."

Hearing this, Jiao Rong curled her lips, rolled her eyes lightly at Xida, and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "If it wasn't for looking pitiful, I wouldn't have endured these boards, and I would have been laughed at by those people in the palace for nothing. "

Regarding this, Xida shifted her gaze to one side and said nothing, but Yizhu laughed: "Sister, I didn't make people laugh. When my sister fainted, the emperor will bully my sister and Concubine Yi." Everyone has been fined once, and now no one dares to underestimate our Chengqian Palace."

Hearing this, Jiao Rong's expression became weird, she squinted her eyes and raised her eyebrows, and said with a cold face, "You mean, the emperor punished someone for Concubine Yi?"

Yi Zhu thought for a moment, then "Tsk", corrected: "To be precise, most of it is to return justice to my sister, and if those young concubines see her now, they probably have to take a detour. "

"Me?" Jiaorong pointed at herself blankly, her expression full of uncertainty.

"That's right, isn't my sister's plan to win the emperor's sympathy with bitter tricks, and then avenge Concubine Yi?" Yizhu's big eyes are full of innocence, and his head is tilted like a child.

In this regard, Jiaorong subconsciously exchanged glances with Xida, lowered her eyes and remained silent for a while, then said softly: "Actually, no, so far, I have only done a small part of my plan. Let the emperor know that Li Guiren bears a grudge against me, so that it will be easier to do things later, and the emperor can directly help me deal with Li Guiren, which I did not expect."

Yizhu looked at Jiaorong in puzzlement, and became more and more confused: "This is not my sister's plan? But now Li Guiren has been punished, will my sister continue?"

These words really caught Jiaorong, and she looked at Xida again, but Xida sighed deeply: "Your sister Jiaorong has such a temper, it's not like you have a plan to give up halfway."

After saying that, Xida glanced at Jiaorong with understanding, showing tacit understanding in every move: "After all, such a big game has been set up, and if she doesn't finish it, she will be depressed."
