Chapter 169 Princess: Everything Has a Price

Concubine Luo was grounded by the emperor again, and she was not allowed to leave the princess mansion. Every day, the imperial hospital went to the outpatient clinic to get two or three pulses, and also sent all kinds of old ginseng and ganoderma-like tonics to the princess mansion like water.

Even if the emperor is busy cleaning up the court and rectifying the whole court, he will personally take care of Concubine Luo's three meals a day, even for fear that the mark on her neck will leave a scar, and let the whole imperial hospital take care of her skin. The imperial physician prepared balm and gel, but if there was any good one, it would be sent to Concubine Luo for her to smear on it.

Qin Shou was also idle. The imperial guards who rebelled that day forced him to kill them all. Eight out of ten of the imperial guards in the palace, although the remaining guards were much smaller, fortunately, they were all loyal to the Tian family. , of which Gu Tongling is the most.

Because of the trouble of Gu's family, Commander Gu asked himself to abdicate, but he did not deserve the responsibility of the commander anyway.

In desperation, Xi Chaosheng had no choice but to call out the dark guards who only guarded the safety of the emperor, and let the dark guards be active in the open for the time being, taking the place of the forbidden army.

In fact, there were not many secret guards who were only loyal to the emperor. At the beginning, there were only 20 people, and these 20 people would only obey the emperor's orders. Except for Bai Ye, who Xi Chaosheng gave to Concubine Luo, there were only 19 people around him.

On that day, King Shun threatened Concubine Luo. Even if he could order the secret guards, it would be impossible for these 19 people and their family to fight a bloody way out of the rebellious forbidden army. The existence of the dark guard.

Concubine Luo actually understood, but what she was a little bit upset about was that Qin Shou seemed to know that King Shun had something wrong in his heart, and that the Gu family was restless, so he didn't tell her earlier.

But after thinking about it again, she felt that Qin Shou had to remind her that he was not a good person at all if he didn't see him, so even though she felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't ask more about it.

Unexpectedly, one day after Shouyang finished applying the ointment to the wound on her neck, she approached the glass crystal mirror inlaid with a gold-rimmed lady's bottle, touched her neck, and made sure that the scar was too faded to be seen clearly. Only then did she say with satisfaction, "Go to the branch meeting with the queen mother and elder brother, and tell me that the palace is well."

Therefore, it should be possible to leave the house.

Qin Shou came here, carrying a greased paper bag in his hand.

Concubine Luo wrinkled her small nose, and smelled a sweet scent of pastries.

When Qin Shou walked in, he first looked at Concubine Luo's neck, to make sure that it was really healed, then Shi Shiran opened the oiled paper bag, revealing the steaming red dates and chestnut cake inside.

This small cake happens to be the kind that Concubine Luo likes to use, but she thinks that the one made by the imperial chef in the princess' mansion is not as authentic as the one made by the centuries-old chestnut cake shop in the capital, so she often sends people out of the mansion to buy it.

Even so, she couldn't eat it a few times, because the owner of that shop made a fixed number of chestnut cakes every day, but he didn't know how to make any extra piece, and the owner was very stubborn. Even spending a lot of money failed to invite the princess mansion.

If her previous temperament, no matter how much she likes and displeases her, then she won't eat it anymore.

But she couldn't help but have a considerate Gong'e by her side, even if she didn't order, Liu Gong'e would take turns queuing up to buy it back to satisfy her greed.

These days, people around her are thinking about the wound on her neck, and Shouyang has become more and more strict in eating, fearing that if she is not careful, she will get a scar.

She sniffed her nose and reached out to take it. Unexpectedly, Qin Shou dragged the bag of red dates and chestnut cakes to her side, and even reached out and hit the back of her hand gently.

Concubine Luo quickly withdrew her hand, staring at him with moist and clear peach blossom eyes.

Qin Shou slowly twisted a piece of chestnut cake, and under the gaze of Concubine Luo, he actually put it in his mouth. After he swallowed the piece, he said, "Today, the saint has taken back the tiger talisman of the Vermillion Bird Army. In a few days, it will be delivered to the princess, if the princess is going to the military camp, please be sure to take Kyushu with her."

Concubine Luo glanced at the chestnut cake. Seeing that Qin Shou took another piece, she hummed a few times, "Why did I take you with me? So what if I didn't take you?"

Qin Shou used chestnut cakes. He ate elegantly, but his speed was not slow. He didn't seem to notice the salivating eyes of Concubine Luo, and replied, "The princess will not think that the affairs of the four great families and the three kings have been resolved. Is everything calm?"

He sneered, "Previously, the forces in the capital were complicated, but at least they were still under the eyes of the sage, and no matter how bad it was, the Queen Mother would support them. In the end, it was the scourge of the Kyushu vassal that really endangered the Great Yin."

Concubine Luo curled her lips, watching for a while, Qin Shou had already eaten half of the chestnut cake, and seemed to be getting tired of eating it, and was sipping tea.

Concubine Luo couldn't be more natural to reach for it, seeing that she was just about to pick up one, Qin Shou put down the tea cup, and patted the back of her hand again.

The chestnut cake that I just picked up fell off with a snap.

Concubine Luo's face was darkened, she stared at him, and secretly ground her teeth, "What do you mean by son-in-law?"

Qin Shou squinted at her, "Princess doesn't say anything, how could Jiuzhou know that the princess also wants to eat."

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, seeing Concubine Luo looking at him darkly, her brows seemed to have resentment, like a milk cat that was deliberately knocked down several times, finally annoyed, and stretched out its sharp claws.

"However, if the princess opens her mouth and says she wants to eat it," he paused, the corners of his mouth were darkened, and his face was in a mess, "Kyushu won't give it either."

Not only did he say that, but he also showed in action that he just refused to give her to eat on purpose, and swallowed several pieces of chestnut cake after three or two bites, and there was not much left in the oil paper wrap.

Concubine Luo had never seen such a vicious person, she took the case and said coldly, "Get out!"

Qin Shou shook his head, and after eating the last piece of chestnut cake, he slowly wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Princess, why isn't she curious, why did Kyushu go and return on the day that King Gong Shun forced the palace?"

Concubine Luo doesn't want to listen to him, he won't let her go!
As soon as Qin Shou stretched out his long arm, he grabbed her sleeve, turned his head and said to her, "There was no such thing as forcing the palace in my previous life, but many things have changed now. Even though Kyushu knows that King Shun will collude with the Gu family, he is not sure. Will the king do it now, after all, it is several years earlier than in his previous life, so Kyushu can only take precautions, but it is not easy to startle the enemy."

Concubine Luo was slightly surprised when Qin Shou confessed that he was sometimes inaccurate in his calculations.

Seeing Concubine Luo's thoughts on Concubine Luo's face, Qin Shou let go of her, seeming to sigh, "If you want to go back in time, and also bring the princess back from the dead, you can do it not just by killing a hundred thousand prisoners. There is no price for fate."

"The price?" Concubine Luo frowned, she had never thought about this.

Qin Shou narrowed his phoenix eyes, and under the cover of thick eyelashes, he couldn't see the emotion in his eyes clearly, "Naturally, there is a price..."
