The Queen of Destiny: The King's Side

After that day's collapse, Xuechun didn't let Xixian move around even more, and was not allowed to walk around until she lay down for a few more days after recovering.

Looking at her fat face in the mirror, Xi Xian shook her head helplessly. These days, Xue Chun wished to feed her five meals a day, making her fat like a confinement child.

"Why doesn't the princess sleep a little longer?" Xue Chun came in from the outside carrying the wash water.

Xi Xian got up, picked up the handkerchief and wiped her face, "After lying down for so many days, it's time to go and pay your respects to Empress Zhaoyuan, I haven't thanked you for saving my life that day."

"But Empress Zhaoyuan ordered a few days ago that there is no special need to go to say hello."

"Why? Your Majesty, doesn't she like people to talk in her room?" Xi Xian put down her veil and asked suspiciously.

"Ms. Zhaoyuan is sick, and she hasn't seen better these days, so she doesn't like people to disturb her."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Xi Xian asked anxiously, Li Zhaoyuan was so kind to her, but she didn't even know that he was sick.

Seeing that Xixian was angry, Xuechun said aggrievedly from the side, "Ms. Zhaoyuan specifically ordered you not to visit, saying that she was afraid of delaying your recovery."

"Okay, go and see if the empress is up, let Fantao come in and dress me up." Xi Xian knew that Xuechun cared too much about her, so she didn't blame her too much.

Turning into the inner room of Li Zhaoyuan's residence, the strong smell of medicine permeated the whole air, Xi Xian pressed her nose unaccustomed, and saw Li Zhaoyuan was writing something on the desk, coughing violently from time to time, and piled up on the side. With a stack of used manuscript paper.

Seeing her walk in, Li Zhaoyuan put the manuscript paper on the table and said, "You are still sick, why bother to come and see me."

Xi Xian saluted and walked forward, "The concubine's health is already recovering, but the empress, why is she suddenly so ill? What did the imperial doctor say?"

"I'm sick, it's not a big deal, it happens every spring, this year it's just a little heavier."

"The more this is the case, the more it needs to be cured as soon as possible. It happens once a year, how can the empress's body bear it?" Xi Xian took the soup from the maid's hand with concern and served it herself.

"This disease was caused by stabbing the lungs on the battlefield. I'm afraid it won't get better." Li Zhaoyuan pushed away the medicine bowl, not wanting to smell the bitter medicine.

Seeing that Li Zhaoyuan's expression was gloomy, Xi Xian changed the subject, "I always hear the palace people talk about the majestic deeds of the empress when she galloped on the battlefield. It's really hard to let a man down."

"Yes." Li Zhaoyuan looked out the window, as if she saw the dusty border, "Though those days were bitter, they were the happiest time in my life. You haven't been there, and you can't experience the freedom .”

Seeing the brilliance on Li Zhaoyuan's face, Xi Xian continued to ask, "It's really rare for a woman to join the army, why would your empress want to serve in the battlefield?"

"I am an orphan. I was fortunate enough to be adopted by General Wang when I was young and I have lived to this day. I have been fighting with the old general since I was a teenager. Do you know why I am not afraid of Wang Baoluo?"

Xi Xian shook her head, this was what she had been wondering all along.

"I grew up with her since I was a child, and I can be regarded as her half sister. She has been domineering since she was a child. Only I can control her. Before entering the palace, the old general specifically asked me to suppress her so that she would not mess with her in the future." Big trouble." Li Zhaoyuan coughed again after finishing speaking.

Xi Xian caressed Li Zhaoyuan's back lightly a few times, "The concubine always only knew that my mother and Wang Zhaoyi were at odds, and never knew that you and her had such a relationship."

"I seldom tell others about these things, it's good for you to know in your heart."

Xi Xian Anshun nodded, Li Zhaoyuan knew that she was not a spoiler, otherwise she would not have told her these things.

"Because of your matter, the emperor banned Wang Baolu's feet, and she will not dare to treat you openly after thinking about it." Hearing these words, a grievance flashed in Xi Xian's eyes and fell into Li Zhaoyuan's eyes.

Taking her hand, Li Zhaoyuan said, "I know you are wronged, but the emperor has no other choice. The six sons of Old General Wang died on the battlefield, and now only Wang Baoluo is left with one daughter. The emperor will do nothing anyway." I won’t make the old general sad anymore.”

Looking at the sadness in Li Zhaoyuan's eyes, Xi Xian's heart was pulled hard, "Grand Mo laughs drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times, General Wang seems to be majestic, but he also paid what ordinary people can't imagine. Don't worry about the price, empress, the concubine will understand."

After listening to Xi Xian's "How many people fought back in ancient times", the string deeply buried in Li Zhaoyuan's heart moved sadly, and two lines of tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

"Niang Niang???" Seeing Li Zhaoyuan crying, Xi Xian was a little at a loss.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Li Zhaoyuan smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered the soldiers who fought together."

"It's all bad concubines, which makes the empress sad."

"It's none of your business, it's because I've become more sentimental over the years." Li Zhaoyuan dejectedly stroked the manuscript paper on the table. Since the paper was fastened to the table, Xi Xian couldn't see what was written.

"Your Majesty is sick, you should take care of your health first, and don't bother writing these things." Xi Xian persuaded kindly.

Li Zhaoyuan did not answer but said, "The emperor will go out of the palace for inspection in a few days. I used to follow, but this year I am not in good health. If there is a chance, would you like to go?"

"Me?" Xi Xian said with a surprised expression, "Concubines have a low status in the palace and are not favored. How can the emperor let concubines serve you?"

Li Zhaoyuan smiled slightly, "Actually, I saw at Wu Meiren's place that day that you were very resistant to the emperor. I don't know the reason, but have you ever thought that you may have rejected someone who can be entrusted to you for life?"

Xi Xian bowed her head and remained silent. It's not that she didn't have a little heart for Yuwen Haoxuan, but growing up in the deep palace, she had seen too many chaos and abandonment. She was afraid that after giving her sincerity, she would only get Changsuo Shen The loneliness of the palace. "

Seeing that she was silent, Li Zhaoyuan said earnestly, "Life is only a few dozen years, how can you be so wasteful, believe me, the emperor is definitely not a ruthless person."

Looking at Li Zhaoyuan's eyes, Xi Xian felt as if her heart was being summoned by some force, and her blood suddenly became boiling.

After leaving the main hall for a long time, the feeling still lingered in her heart. Xi Xian walked to the lotus pond, dipped her hands in the cold water, and calmed down a little.

"Princess, what are you doing? The injury is just right, what if you catch cold again?" Xue Chun hurriedly pulled her hand out of the water.

Seeing Xuechun's sincere concern, Xixian felt a warm current in her heart. In this cold deep palace, if someone could treat her so sincerely, what more could she ask for?The nameless turmoil gradually faded away, and Xi Xian regained her usual calmness and rationality.
