The palace concubine is charming and chaotic: the country is still the same

Chapter 75

Gongweimou (6)

Outside the imperial study room, there were already palace servants waiting to prepare bird's nest soup, and when they saw Xia Lanyue coming, they immediately served the soup.

"Lady Lanmei, send the soup in quickly, lest the emperor continue to be angry, and we slaves will have a hard time." Eunuch An urged in a low voice.

Xia Lanyue held the tray and asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, why is the emperor angry tonight?"

Mr. An said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I don't know, but just now the emperor asked my servant to draw up an order to call General Mu back to the palace immediately."

Xia Lanyue was startled: "Why call General Mu back to the palace?"

"This slave doesn't know."

Xia Lanyue didn't ask any more questions, and went into the imperial study with the tray in her hand, but she felt a strong sense of foreboding in her heart. It was the time of the New Year, and Mu Piaoyu rushed over because of the border issue. However, the decree to call him back to the palace inevitably caused people to speculate.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Su Chen said without raising his head: "I've said it, all back down!" The cold voice resounded throughout the empty imperial study, and Xia Lanyue couldn't help but lighten her steps.

Su Chen still heard the sound of footsteps getting closer, so he raised his head, and was about to get angry, but saw that it was Xia Lanyue, so he couldn't help but say, "Why are you here?"

"The concubine heard that Eunuch An said that the emperor was furious, so she came over to have a look." Xia Lanyue walked to Su Chen's side, and put the tray in her hand on the table: "The night is bitterly cold, and the emperor drank this bird's nest soup to warm his body." Bar."

Su Chen suddenly held her hand and looked at her quietly.

Xia Lanyue felt uncomfortable being watched by Su Chen, and asked in a low voice: "What is the emperor looking at my concubine like this?"

"I'm afraid of losing you." His voice was deep and unusual.

"Lost me?" she asked suspiciously.

"Losing you is like losing Zixi." He held her hand tightly, and his deep eyes made people unable to explore the edge.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" She held his hand back, but felt that his palm was cold without any warmth.

But Su Chen let go of her hand, and rubbed his forehead wearily: "Since you're here, I'm just looking for someone to talk to, can I trust you?" Very solemn, very serious question.

Xia Lanyue looked at him, pursed her lips to hide her uneasiness, and replied seriously after a while: "Yes."

Su Chen put away the seriousness on his face, casually picked up a memorial on the case and handed it to Xia Lanyue.

She took it, opened the memorial and looked at the contents inside.

While she was watching, Su Chen also opened his mouth and said: "This is the secret document that Lu Yunzhong, the prefect of Guangxi, rushed to Beijing five hundred miles away. He impeached King Zhen Sujin to run a private army in Guangxi. He secretly manufactured weapons and stockpiled food. He had evil intentions. The details in it King Zhen’s ten crimes, each of which can lead to King Zhen’s death.”

After reading the memorial, Xia Lanyue was already terrified, her hands hurt while holding the memorial, but she forced herself to be calm: "So the emperor secretly summoned General Mu who was far away at the border, do you want to get rid of King Zhen?"

"Sure enough, she is a smart woman. I not only summoned Mu Piaoyu back to send troops to guard, but also secretly summoned Lu Yunzhong, the prefect of Guangxi, into the palace. Counting the days, they can arrive in Beijing on the first day of the first lunar month at the earliest. I will do it that night."

"Your Majesty, if you let your concubine know about such a confidential matter, you will not be afraid that her concubine will leak the secret, which will eventually affect all your plans. If you fail, your throne may not be guaranteed."

"That's why I'm afraid of losing you. If I lose on the first day of the first lunar month, I might become a prisoner and lose you completely."

"Your Majesty, you will not be defeated, because you are the Son of Heaven, and you are the destiny of heaven."

Su Chen got up from the chair, hugged Xia Lanyue into his arms, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know why, but I just want to trust you and tell you what's in my heart."

Leaning in Suchen's arms, Xia Lanyue smiled lightly and said, "Then the emperor feels much more comfortable now?"

"Your temperament is really like Xia Zixi. When I was in the prince's mansion, she was listening quietly by my side like this. I would tell her anything I had to say. But you are different from Xia Zixi. She would just keep silent. A listener, and you are not just a listener, you understand my mind, you can guess it without me telling you. I really don’t know if this is good or bad.”
