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

Chapter 823 Relieve Your Worry (16)
Qingchen slept for two hours, during which Xiao Jun stayed with her in Fenglu Palace.When she woke up, she only felt a severe headache. Fortunately, Gu Yunfeng prepared refreshing tea for her in advance, and added some painkillers to the tea, so she felt better.

In the evening, as the emperor returned to the palace, she suddenly remembered something on the way, and asked, "Your Majesty, how did you deal with King Anding?"

Xiao Jun said angrily: "Let him go back to Daxia tomorrow, his face is disfigured, and I don't bother to pursue it. He is greedy for meritorious deeds. When he goes back, King Daxia will punish him for offending him, presumably. I will not spare him lightly."

Qingchen asked anxiously: "But has the emperor ever thought that if King Anding has evil intentions, then Princess Mianyue will definitely be in danger. Mianyue will truthfully report what he did in Dagan to King Daxia and King Anding." For the sake of his own interests, he will inevitably be unfavorable to Mianyue on the road. If he is really ambitious, he may kill people to silence him, so that when he goes back, he can blame us for all the mistakes he made. It may even be possible to provoke right and wrong, It once again caused the two countries to fight each other."

Xiao Jun's eyes were slightly cold, and she frowned and asked, "Then what do you mean? Is it possible to keep Mianyue in Dagan? What if King Anding goes back and says we keep Mianyue as a hostage?"

Qingchen thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, you can write a letter immediately, and tell King Daxia truthfully what King Anding has done here, and send the letter to King Daxia before King Anding returns to the court." , Only after such a long period of time can we return to Daxia unscathed."

Xiao Jun immediately nodded and said, "What you said is that I will let King Anding recover from his wounds as an excuse to keep them here for a few more days, and then let them leave Dagan after the letter arrives."

Seeing that her eyes were in a trance, Xiao Jun knew that she was still not feeling well, so she took her wrist to check the pulse and asked, "Does your head still hurt? Why is the hypnotic incense so powerful?"

Qingchen rubbed his forehead and said: "The hypnotic incense transformed by the Gu insects seems to be poisonous, but luckily the concubine closed her breath in time, so it's not a big deal if I inhale a little."

Xiao Jun held her hand and said in a warm voice: "When you fell asleep, Gu Yunfeng was afraid that something might be wrong, so he took a detoxification pill for you, so although you still feel a little uncomfortable now, it doesn't matter, you can use it too late Take a good night's rest and you'll be fine."

In front of the emperor, even though he knew that Xiao Jue had saved her, Qingchen still didn't dare to ask about the son's injuries, but after returning to Qifeng Palace, he asked Yunlan to say: "After dark, you will quietly take care of me for me." When I went to visit the next son, I had no choice but to avoid suspicion, and I didn't want to cause trouble for him, unexpectedly, I couldn't even say thank you to him personally."

Recalling what happened during the day, Yun Lan somehow felt something was wrong. Xiao Jue stood in front of her without hesitation under the watchful eyes of everyone. At that time, she saw that the expressions on many people's faces became very subtle.

Even if the emperor doesn't say it, he must feel uncomfortable, but at this time, he can't say these things to her again, so that she won't feel at ease, so he said softly: "Your Majesty, don't think so much, as long as the servants pass by, Your Highness will be able to I understand what your empress has to do, as long as you have your mind, the son will not blame your empress."

Qingchen smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know that he won't blame me, even if I don't let you go to greet me, he will definitely understand me, but even though he is calm in his heart and doesn't ask for anything in return, I always feel that I owe him. I owe him in this life Yes, I can only remember it in my heart and form a grass to repay each other in the next life."

The two were talking, when Jin Xin came in and said, "Your Majesty, just now, this servant brought something from the House of Internal Affairs and saw Ye Changzai from a distance taking Jingshu to the Imperial Study Room. I wonder if the Emperor will... ..."

Qingchen was stunned, and forced a smile: "If it wasn't her, it would be someone else. This imperial study room has always been a place where concubines want to go in with their heads sharpened. Even if we can't stop it, so what can we do? But The emperor has to deal with the affairs of King Anding tonight, and I'm afraid he will be busy until late, and if something like this happened today, he probably doesn't have the heart to call his concubine to bed."

Yun Lan brought water to serve her to wash her hands. Outside, Jinxiu had already set up dinner. Hearing that there was someone who was about to cook ginseng chicken soup, Qingchen ordered Yun Lan to say, "When the soup is finished, you can bring Going to make up for the son's body is also a little bit of my heart. In addition, someone should tell Gu Yunfeng that no matter what, he must find a way to heal the wound on the son's back. But if it can be cured, we must try our best not to leave traces."

Yun Lan nodded and said: "Then let Jin Xin and Jin Xiu serve the empress for meals, and the servants will go now."

"You go." Qingchen didn't have much appetite for food, so he washed up after using some casually and sat under the lamp to do needlework.

Originally, I wanted to make a jade belt for Xiao Jun, but my mind was restless. After a few stitches, my hand was pricked, and the index finger oozes bright red blood. Do it, lest you tire your eyes."

Qingchen suddenly raised his head and asked: "Is there any news from the emperor, can we have dinner?"

Jin Xin was slightly taken aback, knowing that she was still thinking about things in the imperial study, so she said: "The emperor stayed with Ye Chang for dinner, so he let her go back. It seems that he is discussing something with the ministers right now. , since no one came to deliver the decree, maybe they will still come to sleep with us later.”

Qingchen said shyly: "Am I being too narrow-minded? Recently, the emperor hasn't been to other palaces much, but he has spoiled me more and more and made him jealous."

Jin Xin sighed softly at the side, and said with a deep understanding: "I didn't feel the pain in the empress's heart before, but now I know that this feeling is really uncomfortable. The empress is not jealous, but loves someone, why? Can he tolerate him being unfaithful to himself? But the person married by the empress happens to be the emperor, no matter how good he is to the empress, or even if the emperor only has the empress in his heart, he still has to fulfill his obligations to other concubines. Love, but he has no other choice."

"I understand what he has to do. It's not that he complains. It's just that he still can't get over the barrier in his heart occasionally. Besides, the emperor's special favor may not necessarily be a good thing. The reason why we live so tremblingly all day long is not because of favor. Is it because of Taisheng? As a concubine, in any case, my situation is much better than others. I don’t accept my fate, but I have to be content. If I don’t know how to satisfy my desires, I will definitely not end well in the end. There are so many lessons learned from the past. , enough for me to see clearly how to survive."

Qing Chen said these words to Jin Xin, but also to himself, to comfort his heart, and not allow himself to lose his conscience because of love.
