Chapter 148: Care too much is a weakness

Xue Jingxian's words were forced, and Suinong heard it and agreed repeatedly, not wanting to bother Xue Jingxian with these things anymore.

In the following days, Xue Jingxian went to Zhongcui Palace to pay respects to Zhao Shu almost every day, but Zhao Shu refused every time on the grounds of physical discomfort. Over time, people in the palace knew that Concubine Xian was not I like Xue Jingxian.

On this day, Emperor Qi came to Zhongcui Palace and saw Zhao Shu lingering on the sick bed. He felt a little distressed and asked: "Why are you sick again?"

"It's just a cold wind blowing. Your Majesty is busy with many things, but today you thought of visiting your concubine in Zhongcui Palace?"

Zhao Shu took Emperor Qi's hand and showed a gentle smile. She was lying on her side like this, and the way she smiled looked so similar to her.

Emperor Qi couldn't help but look over his head. When he came back to his senses, he naturally didn't notice the trace of disgust flashing in Zhao Shu's eyes.

"Are you complaining about me? No matter how busy you are, you still have to come to see you. Those people at Tai Hospital can't even treat a patient well."

He said something with a bit of anger, Zhao Shu patted his hand and said, "It's all an old disease, no wonder the doctors."

Being comforted by someone so gentle and attentive, most of the anger in Emperor Qi's heart was gone. He turned around and asked, "I heard that Concubine Xue comes to pay you respects every day. Why don't you see her?"

"Your Majesty, do you want to blame me?"

Zhao Shu smiled, and then couldn't help coughing: "It's not that I haven't seen you, I just can't bear it. Such a charming girl guards the empty room all day long, but I don't want to be unhappy. Since In this way, it simply disappears.”

Her explanation made Emperor Qi narrow his eyes. He sat closer and took Zhao Shu into his arms: "My Shu'er is still so considerate."

"If you don't want to see me, just disappear."

The position of concubine was originally given to check and balance the power of the Xue family, and it was also something that Concubine Xue begged for. As for what would happen in the future, that was not something Qi Emperor had to consider.

He stayed here with Zhao Shu after having lunch before leaving. When he left, he also promised to see her again tomorrow night. Zhao Shu agreed with a smile, but after he left, the smile on his face completely disappeared.

The first thing Emperor Qi did after returning to Zichen Palace was to ask Chai Guangfu to bring Xiao Fengan into the palace.

"Tell him that if he doesn't come today, I will make the Xie family leave no one alive. Just try."

His eyes were all over Shangjing, so how could he not know that Xiao Fengan was getting close to that girl from the Xie family.

What's more, the cold poison in his body has not been cured and the poison occurs every month, which is the most fatal thing.

Can he still want to take his own life?
And those people in Jinyiwei, doesn't he care?

But when Chai Guangfu went to Xie Mansion to announce the decree, Ying Dong stopped Xiao Fengan.

"His Highness said that as long as he is here, there will be no threat to the Xie family."

This was also His Highness's promise. Even when he left for Shangjing, His Highness kept him in order to prevent Emperor Qi from acting like a monster.

"Resisting an order and disrespecting it is a capital offense, Commander Xiao. Your Majesty, I have never dismissed you from office. You are still the Commander of the Imperial Guard."

Chai Guangfu recognized Ying Dong, so he did not dare to say anything too harsh. He just reminded Xiao Fengan from the side that as long as he was still the commander of the Jinyi Guards, he would obey His Majesty's orders.

Unless he doesn't even care about the lives of Jin Yiwei.

"I see."

Xiao Fengan raised her eyes, turned to Xie Weixing who was standing aside, and then looked at Ying Dong: "I'm asking you to take care of the Xie family first."

He had thought at the beginning that if Emperor Qi no longer bothered him, he would no longer have any worries. But what if Emperor Qi cares?

If he cares, does he have to continue to be the so-called loyal dog next to him?

Thinking of this, Xiao Fengan couldn't help but clench her hands. Yes, the Xie family is protected by His Highness's people, so His Majesty will not move, but the brothers of Jin Yiwei have followed him through life and death.

He couldn't put them in danger because of himself.

"Commander Xiao, this is the token of the black-armored guards. Your highness's black-armored guards staying in Shangjing can obey this order."

When Xiao Fengan was about to follow Chai Guangfu, Ying Dong handed a token into Xiao Fengan's hands. This part of the black-armored guards left by Chu Yan in Beijing was originally going to be handed over to Xiao Fengan to protect the Xie family. .

"Thank you."

Putting the token away, Xiao Fengan paused, turned around and rubbed Xie Weixing's head: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon, don't cry anymore."

The doting words made Xie Weixing want to cry even more. That's what power is like, especially when the person giving orders is the most noble person in the world.

They couldn't be like Chu Yan and ignore Emperor Qi at all.

"I'm not crying, you, if you dare not come back, I won't want you anymore."

Xie Weixing slapped Xiao Feng'an's hand away and snorted. Xiao Feng'an couldn't help but chuckle, pinched her face, and left.

In the Zichen Hall, Emperor Qi had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Xiao Fengan, he raised his head and looked at him: "Is your injury healed?"

The inexplicable and sudden concern made Emperor Qi very hypocritical at this time.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

"Xiao Feng'an, I still remember that when Jin Yiwei was handed over to you, they were not convinced by you and thought that you just got in through connections. But after so many years, these people are brothers who have followed you through life and death."

Emperor Qi stood up, walked down from above and said word by word: "Do you miss them dying because of you?"

"I am responsible for all my duties."

Xiao Fengan stood in front of Emperor Qi, restraining himself and not letting his murderous intention appear.

"I also like this sentence very much. It's a pity that sometimes, sitting together is the best way. Follow Chu Yan and kill him. I won't touch them again. How about it?"

There was a hint of temptation in Emperor Qi's eyes. Xiao Feng'an didn't answer for a long time. After a long while, he said: "Your Majesty said that if you are disloyal once, you will be disloyal a hundred times. Then please remove me from my position."

"Do you think I really don't dare to do anything to you?"

Qidi, who was pressing Xiao Fengan step by step, stood still in front of him and said as if tauntingly, he had so many people he cared about, and every one of them was his weakness.

"What your Majesty wants to see is just a game of killing each other. Unfortunately, I was injured. I'm afraid you won't be able to see what your Majesty wants to see."

"Your Majesty is right, they are all brothers who have followed me from birth to death, but there are some things that I cannot take care of. Whatever your Majesty wants to do, just do it."

Xiao Fengan chuckled lightly and looked at Emperor Qi. Rabbits will bite when they are anxious. What's more, he now has someone he wants to protect. Compromising once means compromising again and again, so he will never betray Emperor Qi. Compromising.

This time, he won't swallow his anger.

The atmosphere between the two was tense for a moment, and it was only a second before it would be bloody.
