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

Chapter 868
The emperor suddenly laughed at himself, and that smile made Qingchen feel like he was giving up on himself.No one can understand how painful Xiao Jun is at the moment. He chose this path for her and entrusted her to Xiao Jue. If she really has feelings for him, wouldn't it be great?Didn't I also hope that she could forget the past and have a new start? Why did he wait until he thought she fell in love with someone else, and why would he be so unwilling, unwilling, and even annoyed!
Looking at her tearful eyes and such worried expression, Xiao Jun couldn't help but lowered her head and kissed her fiercely. That kind of love-hate feeling was a bone-piercing pain. The emperor had never been so desperate in his heart. Just like the fire many years ago, it emptied his heart and burned everything he had, making him feel that he was the only one left in this world.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word to her again, he just favored her crazily, as if he wanted her for the last time in his life, and wanted to pour out all his emotions. And the cold and ruthless emperor...

Qingchen got up, got dressed slowly, and staggered out from behind the rockery. Yun Lan hurried over to help her, and asked worriedly, "Ma'am, are you alright?"

Qingchen shook his head lightly, supported Yun Lan's hand and walked back without saying a word.

Returning to Qifeng Palace, Jin Xin saw that her body was covered with mud, and she was so dazed that she didn't speak, so she asked softly from the side: "Madam, will this servant help you to bathe and change clothes?"

Qingchen nodded numbly, got up and went to the inner room.

Yun Lan poured hot water on her body, and softly persuaded her: "Your Majesty, don't be sad, the emperor is in charge of such a big country, it is inevitable that there will be many troubles, and many times he has his own last resort. Be considerate of him. Back then, when the slaves and servants were serving the late emperor, they often saw that the late emperor could not sleep at night because of state affairs. The affairs of the previous dynasty were exhausting enough, but the harem was still restless. With such hard work, the body was considered weak. It's too hard to bear. Sometimes when people encounter troublesome things, they will always blame the closest people around them. Whoever is closest to him will suffer the most serious injuries. But if even the empress refuses to share the burden for the emperor Now, who else can he talk to?"

Only then did Qingchen raise his stunned face, and asked with tears in his eyes: "Is what you said true? Maybe I should have thought of it earlier. The peace of the border has always been the emperor's wish. If there is peace there, the emperor will be able to save money. A lot of money to do what he wants to do, appease the people's livelihood, control floods, canal and river construction don't need money? Maybe the emperor really has troubles, so he wants to find a way to vent, but unfortunately, my ability is limited , can't help him."

Seeing that she was not as depressed as before, Yun Lan felt a little relieved, and persuaded softly: "Your Majesty, don't say that, compared to other people, Your Majesty has done enough for the emperor, maybe the emperor doesn't want her to do it for you." He was worried, that's why he has been refusing to see the empress."

Apart from this reason, she couldn't think of anything else. Qingchen told Jinxin, "You ask Xiao Xiangzi to go to the Imperial Hospital to see Imperial Physician Gu and see if he is on duty tonight. If he is not there, let Imperial Physician Sun go over there." Look, the emperor is coughing up blood tonight, and I am really worried, so at least let Xiao Xiangzi listen to what the imperial doctor has to say before coming back."

Jin Xin put down the cotton towel in her hand and replied: "Yes, slave girl will go now."

After bathing, Qingchen sat on the warm kang waiting for news from Xiao Xiangzi. Xiao Jun's actions tonight really frightened her. He has been favored so many times, and he has never been so crazy like tonight, and he When she left, that decisive look suddenly made her feel as if she had been abandoned by him.

Did the matter at the border really bother him so much?

Qingchen didn't know, but Xiao Jun wanted to maintain the peace of the border even more than she thought. If the north could be stabilized, then he would be [-]% more sure of dealing with the Qin Lin family's coercion and Xiao Hong's rebellion. Separate troops to deal with civil strife.

"How can I help him?" Qingchen couldn't help talking to himself, and after thinking about it again and again, he told Yun Lan, "Bring me a pen and ink. I want to figure out where money is needed, or where money can be paid." If you don’t use the money from the treasury, you can save a little bit.”

Yun Lan brought her a pen and ink from the desk in the small flower hall. Qing Chen was making a detailed list when she saw Jin Xin come in through the curtain and said, "Madam, Yun Feng has visited the emperor, and said that the emperor has been punished these days." After getting some wind and cold, and working hard, the lung fire will cause coughing up blood, which is not very serious, as long as you take a good rest, you will get better soon."

Having said that, Qingchen's hanging heart was not much relaxed. After thinking for a while, he told Jinxin: "From tomorrow onwards, you will cook a cup of rock sugar pear and loquat soup every day and send it to the emperor. Take a good rest, but how can the emperor listen to him? If you can really rest in peace, you won't lose so much weight in just a few days."

Seeing that it was getting late, Yun Lan also saw that her cheeks were a little abnormally red, and asked worriedly: "Is there any discomfort, Madam, but did you catch the cold outside just now?"

Qingchen also felt that her cheeks were a little hot at this moment, but it was late at night, and Gu Yunfeng was taking care of the emperor again, so she said: "It's nothing, it's probably because the water was too hot when I took a bath just now, and I sweated a lot , I'm tired, I want to rest early, let Xiao Xiangzi close the palace gate and lock it."

Yun Lan was still worried, and persuaded again: "The maidservant asked someone to cook a bowl of ginger soup for the empress to make her feel chilly. How about the empress wait a bit before resting?"

Qingchen was also afraid that if he had a fever again in the middle of the night and made them worry, he replied: "Alright, then I will wait a while and take care of these things in my hand."

Even with the ginger soup, Qingchen still fell ill, no wonder, she had been waiting in the cold wind for a long time, and the emperor blessed her on such a cold ground, so it's no wonder she didn't suffer from the cold.

After Gu Yunfeng came to see her, he prescribed medicine for her. Qingchen lay on the bed in a daze for a whole day, and didn't wake up until after dinner.

She was leaning on the pillow and thinking about the construction of the Border Trade City, when she saw Jin Xin coming in a gust of wind, she squatted in front of her couch and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, it's terrible, there was an assassin in the Royal Garden just now, and the Queen's Majesty is here to help you!" The emperor blocked a sword and injured his arm, and the emperor is ordering the arrest of the assassin. Madam, don't worry, the emperor is not injured at all, and now I am sending the empress empress back to the palace."

While Jin Xin was talking, Qingchen got up anxiously and wanted to ask the emperor what was going on, but Jin Xin spoke too fast, and she couldn't allow her to intervene.Judging by her expression, she knew what she wanted to ask, and Jin Xin knew that she was worried about the emperor, so she just finished speaking in one go.
