It's hard to love a concubine

Chapter 271

The wind was whistling outside, the rain was thin, and the air was filled with the smell of humidity, which made people dizzy. The emperor leaned against the wall to hold his forehead for a long time, and finally got out of bed. It was bright, and raindrops floated in along the window lattice, hitting the face wet, as if crying.

The emperor tapped the raindrops on his face with his fingers, feeling more and more uneasy.

The sound of footsteps came from behind, and the emperor turned his head, only to see a woman wearing a thin gauze skirt with narrow sleeves walking over holding a palace lantern. The orange light made the woman not charming enough, but she still had a pretty face. Against the background, his eyebrows and eyes became more and more gentle, like water, the emperor frowned, and the woman said awkwardly, "Your Majesty is awake? It's still early."

The emperor frowned and said, "Concubine Shu, who sent you here?"

It turned out that the night watcher in the outer room was none other than Concubine Shu. Seeing the rare anger in the emperor's tone, she was already in awe of the emperor, but now she saw a flustered expression, and hurriedly said, " The concubine has served His Majesty for many years, but she has never done her best, so she presumptuously advocated to keep a vigil for His Majesty, and I beg Your Majesty not to blame you."

The emperor wanted to say something, but looked at Concubine Shu's uneasy expression, and held back with his lips pursed.

Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Concubine Shu gradually regained her composure, and said, "Your Majesty is so restless, are you worried about Sister Zhenfei?"

Seeing Concubine Shu talking about Concubine Zhen, the emperor suddenly thought of the scarlet blood in his mind, and felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart, as if there was an unknown danger lurking in the silent night.

Seeing the rare worry in the emperor's eyes, Concubine Shu said softly, "Sister Zhenfei is about to give birth, not to mention your Majesty, even the concubines are quite worried, or..." Concubine Shu looked Glancing at the emperor, he said with a little deliberation, "Why don't the concubine leave in the morning and go see the situation of the concubine Zhen first?" When we arrived in Kyoto, the treetops would be ten minutes above the moon. If Concubine Shu went back first, Huguo Temple and Kyoto would only take half a day away, and I would be able to arrive at the palace first in the afternoon.

But what if Concubine Shu goes back?The emperor knew in his heart that this was Concubine Shu's heart, and seeing Concubine Shu's sincerity, his eyes became less sullen and calmer, and he said with a soft tone, "It's hard to be Shu Concubine Zhen is also worried about Concubine Zhen, it's getting late, you can go back and rest yourself, as for the night duty, let someone else come." The emperor gradually calmed down, and seeing Concubine Shu's gentle and virtuous face, he felt a little pity in his heart, she It's just that he is infatuated with him, but although he knows the heart of Concubine Shu, he usually doesn't care about women's sex, let alone that all his worries are directed at another woman at the moment?
Concubine Shu didn't refute after hearing this, she looked at the emperor with eyes full of reluctance, and said softly, "The concubine obeys the order." After finishing speaking, she backed out

After waiting for Concubine Shu to leave, the emperor stood by the window for a long time, his eyes darkened after a while, and he shouted, "Come here."

The palace man outside the door hurried in after hearing this, and asked, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"Call Wu Quan in." The emperor said forcefully.

After a while, Wu Quan, who was wearing a black guard armor and a ruby ​​scimitar on his back, walked in, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

The emperor squeezed his fingers, looked at Wu Quan deeply, and said, "You set off for the capital immediately."

"Yes." Although Wu Quan was surprised, he always obeyed the emperor's words unconditionally, so he replied in a deep voice.

The emperor withdrew the jade pendant from his waist and said, "This is my dragon-shaped pendant. Seeing the jade pendant is like seeing me. Remember, no matter what happens, you must keep Concubine Zhen safe."
