Concubine Chef Youxi: Lord, Master, stop

Chapter 510 Doubt

What did Mi Xiaoye mean just now?
Could it be that the emperor is really related to Shen Qiao's death ten years ago?
Thinking of this, Su Ziling suddenly felt his feet go weak and his back was sweating. If it was really the emperor, why would he do this?
"Brother Ling..." came a weaker voice.

Su Ziling looked back and saw Shen Qiao leaning against the door, standing there with a pale face.

"Qiao Qiao, why are you up, go back quickly." Su Ziling said.

"I've been lying down for a long time, and I want to get up and take a walk." Shen Qiao said.

Su Ziling helped Shen Qiao back into the room, helped her to lean on the soft bed, and said: "The doctor said you need to rest more, you should lie down."

"Brother Ling, do you have something to ask me?" Shen Qiao said weakly.

Su Ziling was silent for a while, but still asked: "Yes. Qiao Qiao, let me ask you, did you really not die ten years ago?"

"No." Shen Qiao said.

"What happened?" Su Ziling asked eagerly, "What happened ten years ago? Qiao Qiao, tell me."

Shen Qiao's eyes suddenly became moist, and she said, "Brother Ling, it has been ten years since I changed from a young girl to what I am now. It's all because I was engaged to you at that time."

"Qiao Qiao, I don't understand what you mean." Su Ziling said.

Shen Qiao became emotional suddenly, and said: "Brother Ling, if you are not a man of the royal family, but an ordinary person, maybe we have children around our knees now. But, for some reason, the emperor sent someone to ask me life."

"What? You mean the emperor?" Su Ziling asked, "Why? Why did he want to kill you?"

Shen Qiao looked at Su Ziling in front of her, and said with a wry smile: "Why, I also want to know why. Because I am the woman who is betrothed to you, so he wants to kill me. Fortunately, my father found a maid to die for me. I hide my name, It's been ten years."

Su Ziling was a little confused for a while.

At that time, I had withdrawn from the struggle for imperial power, changed my name and changed my surname, and came to the common people. Could it be that the emperor is guarding against me?It shouldn't be, what does that have to do with whether you are engaged to someone?
What's more, Shen Qiao's family is just a businessman. Even if he really married her, he would have no chance of competing for the throne.It can't be because of this!
But why did the emperor do this?
"Qiao Qiao, where have you been for the past ten years?" Su Ziling asked, "How did you live?"

Shen Qiao wept and said: "After feigning death, I changed my name to Shen Nian and stayed with my relatives in Lingnan. Later, I helped in Guangci Nunnery on the mountain. I have never dared to show my face, because feigning death is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. Until... until more than half a year ago, I heard that you passed by Lingnan. I... I couldn't resist missing you, so I secretly followed all the way."

"You came from Lingnan to Chang'an by yourself?" Su Ziling asked, "How much hardship have you endured in the past ten years?"

Shen Qiao cried: "I don't care about suffering, I've gotten used to it in the past ten years. Brother Ling, do you know? I regretted it before, especially when I just cheated to death, I blamed you, why are you like that. Let I was separated from my parents and relatives, and I couldn't show my face openly."

Su Ziling's eyes turned red, and she said, "I'm sorry, all of this is my fault. Qiao Qiao, I will try my best to make it up to you. But what I want to figure out now is why the emperor treated you like that."

"Brother Ling, you don't have to offend Tianwei for me, I just want to see you. I'll go back to Lingnan in a few days." Shen Qiao said, "I don't want to cause you any trouble."

"You want to go?" Su Ziling asked.
