The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 541 Another Life (5)
Qingchen didn't actually struggle, she was completely stunned by Xiao Jue's actions, it wasn't until he gave her some space to see his angry eyes that she realized what he had just done in a daze.

"Let me go!" She moved her hands, but his wrists were tightly held by him, unable to break free.

"What if you don't let her go?" Xiao Jue looked at her burning eyes so close, and didn't know what to say. He didn't like this feeling of powerlessness. He obviously liked her, but he had to protect her as a last resort. She was against her by herself, and she didn't understand his mind, which made him very annoyed. If things went on like this, things would only get worse and worse, making some misunderstandings even more unexplainable.

"Chen'er, the person I want to protect more is you. Indeed, if you hurt Wanyi, I will definitely come out to stop her, but I won't let her hurt you. You must trust me."

He didn't want to accuse her today, but he knew that she had been wronged. He intended to say something nice for Concubine Li, and then comfort her, but who knew that she misunderstood him so much.

Qingchen sneered: "Your Highness is really affectionate. Concubine Li and I are both concubines of the emperor. Do you need your Highness to intervene in the battle for favor in the harem? What is this? Do you think I will be grateful to you?"

Such a relentless tone made Xiao Jue feel unbearable pain in his heart, concubine of the emperor, why did he deliberately remind her?He roared angrily: "When did I ask you to thank me? You underestimated me too much! Do you think I did all this to ask you to be grateful?"

There was a sharp pain in her wrist, Xiao Jue held her hand more and more because of anger, Qingchen shrank in the corner and asked with some fear: "What on earth do you want to do? Don't you always miss Xie Wanyi?" , Now that she is back, either you take her away, or you let her go completely, but now what is it that you imprison me here? Do you sincerely want to ruin my reputation, this is how you help her? "

"So that's how you look at me!" Xiao Jue pushed her back violently, her eyes were full of anger and disappointment, "That night when Mei Xue startled Hong Hong, after all, it only shocked my own heart, you should have forgotten Bar?"

Seeing him turn around and leave lonely, his footsteps were a little shaky, Qingchen was so angry that the song Plum Snow Surprised at the birthday banquet almost killed her, he protected Xie Wanyi everywhere, but he could still treat Xie Wanyi She said such affectionate words, it is undoubtedly the nature of a romantic son.

Brushing off the snow stains on his body, Qingchen took a deep breath to adjust his mood, not wanting Jinxin to see anything.

Not long after, Jin Xin led a little palace maid out from the side path, and with the help of the lights not far away, Qingchen took a closer look and found that it was the girl Red Polygonum who once served Gu Manqin.

When it was so cold, she was wearing thin clothes, her hair was messed up by the cold wind, the tears on her face were still wet, and the corners of her mouth were still stained with blood.

Qingchen asked in surprise: "Red Polygonum, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that it was her, Hong Liao couldn't help feeling sad for a while, knelt down and wept, "Your maidservant pays my respects to your concubine."

Qingchen hurriedly helped her up, wiped off the blood stains at the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and asked distressedly: "Who bullied you? It's such a cold day, why are you hiding here crying?"

Hong Liao's eyes were red, and he choked and said: "When I see your mother, this servant will think of my young master. If my young master is still here, this servant will not have to be bullied like this. Madam, I beg you In terms of the friendship of my little master, save the slaves, shall we?"

Qingchen has always felt guilty about Gu Manqin's death, and now that Zihong Liao said this, she naturally would not shirk it, so she asked: "What is it, you should tell me, if you don't tell me, how can I help you? "

Red Polygonum seemed a little hard to say, and after hesitating for a long time, he burst into tears and cried: "Mother, Qin Wanrong is going to give the servant to a father-in-law in the respect room to be the opposite food, the servant really doesn't want to live..."

The cold wind is raging in this place, and it is uncomfortable for those who drink it at the first mouthful. Seeing that it is getting late, Qingchen said to the sympathetic Jin Xin: "Take the red Polygonum back to the palace first, and apply some ointment on the wound on her face. Let’s talk about something later.”

Hong Liao didn't dare to go with her, and said cowardly: "Qin Wanrong punished the servant to kneel here for two hours before leaving, the servant dare not disobey."

Qingchen glanced at her thin clothes and said: "You wear so little, how can you survive in this cold wind for two hours? If Qin Wanrong asks about this matter, I'm still there. Since you are punished by kneeling, you won't see me." It must be such a big mistake, does it have to kill someone?"

Jin Xin also persuaded in a low voice: "The empress is here, besides, maybe the emperor will go to our palace to have dinner at night, and the empress will intercede with you, and everything will be over."

Hong Liao believed in these words, with Concubine Rong's favor today, I am afraid that there is nothing she cannot do.

Red Polygonum shrank back, and saluted vigorously, "I know this, I will go with your mother now."

Jin Xin took off her cloak and wrapped her up, then smiled kindly, "Let's go."

Qingchen brought Polygonum Polygonum into Duanyang Palace, and asked Jin Xin to take her to the maid's room to change into warmer clothes, and wait until after dinner to talk about anything.

Because she liked the name Mingluan Palace, Xiao Jun allowed her to bring the plaque here, so the place where she lived in Duanyang Palace was still Mingluan Palace.

It was too cold outside, she sneezed as soon as she entered the door, Yun Lan hastily reminded in a low voice: "Madam, the emperor has been here for a while, and he is reading in Xinuang Pavilion."

Qingchen hurriedly took off her cloak and entered the Xinuang Pavilion, and saw Xiao Jun was only wearing a homely moon-white brocade robe with dragon patterns and baoxiang flowers, reclining on the couch, flipping through a Buddhist scripture she usually read, seeing her coming in Putting down the book in his hand, he opened his arms and asked, "Where did you go, and why did you come back?"

Qingchen was very air-conditioned, so he moved away from him and slowly lowered his body, "My concubine pays my respects to the emperor, and the emperor is blessed and safe."

Xiao Jun smiled and said, "Didn't I say that you don't have to be so polite when there is no one around?"

Seeing that her face was flushed by the wind, he took her into his arms, held her face in both hands and asked, "It's so cold, how long have you been outside? What if I catch a cold?"

Qingchen put her hand on the back of his hand and felt her cheeks became much warmer. Because she was afraid of the cold, a very large brazier was placed in the room. The charcoal fire was burning vigorously, and Xiao Jun was so hot that she untied her body of two buttons.

Qingchen sniffled and said, "I went to Sister Ye's place. I forgot the time as soon as I spoke. When I came out, I realized that it was already dark. Because I didn't bring a lantern, I walked slower when it was dark on the road. It's so cold. I never thought that the emperor would come here first today, and let the emperor wait for his concubine hungry, it's all bad for the concubine."

Xiao Jun felt that she was still shivering from the cold, so she told Yun Lan, "Go and bring your mother a cup of ginger tea, let her warm up first, don't worry about eating, I'm not hungry yet."
