The fifth wife wants to escape marriage: marry the princess

Chapter 172 Qiu Rong's Question 4
Xiao Xuanyu said more and more seriously, everything is definitely not alarmist, when the Queen Mother heard it, she was horrified, and blamed herself, "It's all because Ai's family didn't listen to your persuasion, so impatient, and now I really threw a stone at myself Feet, hey, this...how can this be done?"

"Don't worry about the queen mother, there is still the son and minister!" Xiao Xuanyu comforted the queen mother, and was about to step back, and asked, "These days, the son and minister are not in the capital, how is the concubine Heng?"

"Okay, everything is fine."

"The minister there is relieved." After Xiao Xuanyu said that, he turned and left.

Coming out of the Empress Dowager's Linglong Palace, Xiao Xuanyu went to the imperial study, and immediately summoned all the ministers including Lian Cheng to discuss important matters, and this time the Empress Dowager dispatched troops without authorization, the prime minister did not stop him, and was also punished.As for Concubine Yu's brother, General Du, he will set off immediately and be transferred to the Northwest to guard the frontier. It seems that the remote transfer seems to be demoted, but anyone who understands various reasons understands that the most important position is handed over to him.

Concubine Yu is well aware of the stakes involved, and advised her brother that this is the emperor's deep love and trust, and he must not be careless and fulfill his mission.

Xiao Xuanyu repeatedly emphasized that to handle the military-civilian relationship well, there must be no more conflicts. General Du has repeatedly promised to protect the northwest, so he took office.

This is already the case in the northwest, the turmoil is irreversible, and Xiao Junyi and his subordinates seem to have disappeared overnight, and there is no trace of news.

Xiao Xuanyu was always in a state of anxiety, not knowing when he would appear and give him a fatal blow.He has already sent people to look for it, and announced to the world that he and the Queen Mother were the ones who slandered with confidence, and now they repent, and hope that the general will return to the capital and resume his post as an official.

Everything is just a nice word to appease the people, but it is really difficult for Xiao Junyi to take the bait.However, Xiao Xuanyu's move was not to lure Xiao Junyi into the bait, but to make the people think about it.It is also rare for the king of a country to admit his mistakes frankly.

From the drought in the north to the war in the northwest, Xiao Xuanyu's strings were tense, and he didn't rest for a long time. He never went to the harem, and he didn't see any concubines.He devoted himself to dealing with government affairs, and was so busy that he was too busy to punish himself for being careless and incompetent. He did not see the person he missed, nor Wushuang.

On this day, as usual, he processed the memorials accumulated some time ago in the imperial study overnight, and let the maids retreat to rest, leaving Li Ping by his side.

Xiao Xuanyu was a little sleepy, and said, "Li Ping, go make a cup of strong tea."

"Yes." Li Ping immediately stepped back to make tea.

Xiao Xuanyu continued to wear the memorial, and after a while, the tea came and was placed on the table.

Xiao Xuanyu picked up the teacup, but when he lifted the tea cover, the pleasant scent of flowers came out. He frowned slightly, "Li Ping, didn't I tell you to use strong tea? How did you become scented tea? I have a headache, I need strong tea to refresh me, go and change it!"

The other party didn't respond, he raised his head in displeasure, but saw Wushuang who was smiling with a smile on her face. She was dressed as a palace concubine, exquisite and rich, so pleasing to the eye.

She smiled at him. In this night, the candlelight was flickering, but suddenly, it was all bright, even a little dazzling.

"Why... did you come?" In her memory, this was the first time she came to the imperial study on her own initiative.

Wushuang motioned him to drink tea, "It's not good to drink too much strong tea, it's better to drink some scented tea to relieve the fire, it's dry in autumn."

Xiao Xuanyu was a little dumbfounded, Wushuang not only smiled at himself, but also had a gentle voice, which he never thought of.

"Hurry up!" Wushuang urged in a low voice, "Is it already cold? How about I make you another cup?"

"No...no." Xiao Xuanyu said, drank the tea in one gulp, and kept laughing when he put down the cup.

Wushuang wondered, "What is the emperor laughing at?"

"I laugh naturally when I'm happy." Xiao Xuanyu was in a good mood all of a sudden.

"happy?"

"Of course I'm happy to have you by my side." Xiao Xuanyu held Wushuang's hand, she instinctively struggled a little, but she didn't put up any more resistance.

The two just held hands like this, one sitting and the other standing in front of him, silent for a long time, Wushuang felt awkward, but Xiao Xuanyu felt very happy, what he wanted was such quiet and simple happiness.

"Just now I heard that you have a headache, let me give you a massage!" Wu Shuang was really not used to being so intimate with him.

Xiao Xuanyu smiled and nodded, Wushuang came behind him, put her slender fingers on his temples on both sides, and rubbed them gently.He has been back to the palace for a long time, and he went to the north, and he has not seen him for almost two months. He doesn't know if he is tired, or he has too many things on his mind. He feels exhausted all over his body, which makes her feel He was more tired than when he was Hengwang.

As the king of a country, there are indeed too many things to worry about.

Sometimes she wanted to ask him, if he knew that he would be so tired, would he have given up fighting for the throne in the first place?Now that he is the emperor, is he happy?

Recently the Empress Dowager lived in seclusion, Xiao Xuanyu was also busy with government affairs, Wushuang vaguely heard rumors that there was a war in the northwest, Xiao Junyi was defeated, abandoned the northwest and fled.

Wushuang has always been indifferent to these government affairs, if she hadn't been related to Xiao Junyi, she would not have inquired at all.However, now, she asked every detail clearly and plainly, because she hoped to learn about Xiao Junyi's news, just a little bit.

It's a pity that she couldn't figure out whether those rumors were true or not, and who to listen to.

"Wushuang..." Suddenly, he took her hand.

Wushuang was rubbing his temples for him. Being held by him like this, he felt a little flustered, still not used to being intimate with him, and struggled slightly, "Your Majesty, you hold this too, how can I press it for you?"

"I don't care why you changed, in short, I like your change very much." He held her hand firmly, and led her to stand in front of him, reaching out to Wushuang's belly, she instinctively avoided, he insisted , "I just want to touch, don't be afraid!"

While talking, he put his hand on her stomach, originally she was only one month younger than Su Xin's child, and she should be nearly six months pregnant, but after taking the imperial doctor's medicine, she lost two months for no reason. It's only four months now, and Su Xin's child is already seven months old.

Compared with Su Xin's big belly, Wushuang is much smaller, but there are occasional fetal movements. When Xiao Xuanyu touched it, the baby happened to move. He felt it, and there was a happy smile on his face, "He moved, Moved……"

Wushuang looked down at Xiao Xuanyu's gentle smile, and sometimes she was intoxicated. She once said that King Heng has the purest and warmest smile in the world. Now, even if he is the Ninth Five Lord, when he smiles, he is still pure. as ever.

He, too, can be pure and kind.

Unfortunately, as an emperor, these are sometimes the biggest mistakes.

Xiao Xuanyu touched it for a while, then stood up contentedly, and gently hugged Wushuang in his arms, "From now on, our family will live together well."

Wushuang didn't say a word, she closed her eyes and leaned on his shoulder, she imagined that the person who said this was Xiao Junyi, she knew that such self-deception was too much, and it was unfair to Xiao Xuanyu, but at this moment, that was what she thought in her mind , just hope that the person by her side is Xiao Junyi.

She knew that the current him must hate her to death. He had said so many ugly things and showed him the hickey on his neck, all of which were a kind of humiliation.Now, he must have completely given up. Since leaving the capital, she has never seen him again, and heard very little news about him.

He left so resolutely, he had no nostalgia and reluctance for her anymore, this is what she hoped, and now it is really like this, isn't it good.She also listened to Concubine Lan's words and chose to stay with Xiao Xuanyu for the sake of the child. After all, the child is not his. If she wants the child to live well and be respected by others, she will do more for the child. As long as Xiao Xuanyu treats her as always Well, the child should not be neglected.

After Xiao Xuanyu was not in the palace for more than a month, she felt that her past glory and wealth were all given to her. Without Xiao Xuanyu, she would be nothing, and the child in her stomach was nothing. Even the Queen Mother said that she could not .

She saw the situation more and more clearly, except for Xiao Xuanyu, she had no one to rely on.

Xiao Mansion is now empty, the old lady was taken away, and disappeared from people's sight together with Xiao Junyi, including Chen Nan and Xiangyun.

Wushuang sometimes feels that everything is just a dream.Xiangyun is a dream, and getting to know Xiao Junyi is also a dream. Now all the people and things related to Xiao Junyi have evaporated in the world, and he completely disappeared in her world as if he never existed.

If it was really a dream, could it be possible to erase her memory, and if it disappeared, it would disappear completely. Such a day of thinking about him but not being able to see him is indeed a kind of torture.

If Qiu Rong hadn't stayed behind, Wu Shuang would have believed the "dream" as true.

The stay of Qiu Rong also explained a problem from the side, Xiao Junyi did not lie to her, never had a relationship with Qiu Rong, and the child did not belong to Xiao Junyi.If not, how could it be possible that the Xiao family disappeared overnight, but only Qiu Rong was left behind.

However, Wu Shuang already knew who Qiu Rong's child belonged to.What's more, she married that person not long after, which verified Wushuang's guess.

Qiu Rong, from Yuzhou to the capital, went round and round, did she still marry that person?

Zhang Qing, now Master Zhang under Zhang Shilang's subordinates, a small official, but because he married one of Zhang Shilang's nieces, he became more intimate with him.

Now, Zhang Qing can finally handle affairs in the capital with ease. Although he is not a high-ranking official, his status is not low because of fawning over Zhang Shilang.

It's just that there is a difference in dignity, there is no relationship between him and the emperor.

However, Qiu Rong still married him, and the other party married a daughter of the Zhang family. After waiting for so many years, Qiu Rong was nothing more than a concubine, but she was willing to accept it.

Wushuang couldn't figure out what this once glamorous and proud woman was thinking.When being a general's concubine, there will be complaints and resentment. Could it be that Zhang Qing's concubine is better than the general's?
She couldn't figure it out, she couldn't figure it out all the time.

I especially remember that day, when I learned that Zhang Qing was taking a concubine for Qiu Rong, Wushuang was so surprised, and immediately summoned Qiu Rong who was alone in Xiao's mansion.

There were many rumors from the outside world, saying that Zhang Qing was so powerful that he even dared to touch Xiao Junyi's woman.

Ruyi told Wushuang about this, and Wushuang was upset when she heard that, and felt that those who scolded Qiurong were no different from scolding herself, because she also did not stick to the same goal.

But Ruyi is her own person after all, she only obeys and serves Wushuang, she has never complained even a word, and she has never seen Qiurong, because Ruyi once lived in the Xiao Mansion, and has feelings for the Xiao family, including Xiao Junyi. Yes, so facing Qiurong's betrayal, Ruyi is very shameless, and she doesn't look good when Qiurong comes.
