Xiangmen Concubine: The Emperor's Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 604 Loyalty
Cuizhu was taken aback, and looked at the empress in surprise.That kind of look is a look of surprise that has never been seen before, and it is full of shock.

Ruan Mianmian glanced at her with a smile, and walked directly towards Jiuyou Palace without saying a word.Leaving the emerald bamboo behind with a slightly dull expression, standing against the wind.

After a long while, Cuizhu was relieved from what the empress had just said.At that time, Ruan Mianmian had already walked away, only a light-colored figure could be seen from the back.

Cuizhu looked at the light-colored figure, and watched the figure melt into the white snow little by little, and the empress's words swirled in her mind.

Suddenly, she showed a smile.That smile is comforting, gratifying, relieved, and unbelievable.

Who would dare to believe it? I always thought that the empress was so indifferent that she didn't hear anything outside the window, and she just stayed in the Jiuyou Palace to read and enjoy the scenery.

But she didn't hear that today, she actually saw a very different empress.

It turned out that such an elegant and indifferent woman was more ruthless than all the women she had ever seen.

Women in the palace, if they are not cruel to others, they are pushing themselves into the pit of fire.She is a court lady by the emperor's side, protecting the empress before Hsinchu Rong Yurong and her return.

Although I know that the Empress Dowager is very good at light work, but I have never seen the Empress Empress do anything to anyone.I have always thought that the empress is weak and can be bullied.

It turned out that it wasn't that he was weak and bully, but that he was too lazy to answer.Once he makes a move, he will be as ruthless as the emperor, so that he will not give the enemy a chance to breathe.It's no wonder that the emperor has only been attracted to the queen for so many years.

Cuizhu smiled, and quickly chased after her.

Fang Ziwei, who came back to Taifu's mansion, got out of the carriage and took the child and the maids behind, and walked in a hurry.Asking about the situation while walking: "Tell me carefully, what is going on?"

The servant girl was so anxious that her eyes turned red: "Miss, the young master is back, but right now he is lying in the room with injuries all over his body. When the master knew about it, he passed out at that time."

Fang Ziwei listened, and quickly asked: "What about the young master?"

The maid cried and said: "Master originally sent someone to the ancestral hall to let the young master return to his room, but just after finishing speaking, the master saw Zishu come back with the unconscious young master on his back. Send it to the ancestral hall again!"

Fang Ziwei's brows tightened and she stopped talking.

When we arrived at Fang Chen's courtyard, there were people inside and outside the courtyard.Seeing her come back was like seeing a savior.

"Miss, you're back." The housekeeper, Uncle Li, saw her and hurried over to greet her.

Then looking at the master who was watching the doctor take the young master's pulse, Fang Ziwei said: "Miss, go and persuade the master, I have been guarding here for two hours, I didn't sleep all night yesterday..."

As he spoke, Uncle Li's eyes turned red.

Fang Ziwei watched, then quickly lifted the hem of her skirt and walked in.

"Daddy." Looking at her father who seemed to have aged ten years overnight, Fang Ziwei's nose soured, and she knelt down beside him.

Fang Ji blinked, and when he saw Fang Ziwei, a trace of warmth flashed across his bloodshot eyes: "Ziwei, you're back."

Fang Ziwei nodded: "Daddy, you haven't slept all night, why don't you go back and rest for a while? My little brother is here, I see."

Fang Ji shook his head and sighed, "I'm not sleepy as a father. Then you'll be a girl and go back and forth between the palace and the mansion every day. You should pay more attention to rest. Ziwei, go back to your room."

"Father, I'm not tired, I'm here to watch over my little brother." After finishing speaking, Fang Ziwei looked at the servant girls outside, at a glance, none of her father's wives came over, there was a slight difference.

Uncle Li seemed to have guessed what she was looking at, and whispered: "Master hates those wives who are crying, so he rushed back."

Fang Ziwei nodded: "Uncle Li, let them all go down."

After she and her father Fang Ji were left alone, Fang Ziwei said gently, "Daddy, the fire at the Qingfeng Temple has nothing to do with my younger brother. Daddy doesn't need to worry too much."

Fang Ji didn't look at her, but looked at Fang Chen who was lying on the bed: "Chen'er is going to see Mrs. Juechen, so naturally he wouldn't set fire to it. But if someone does it on purpose..."

There was a bit of helplessness on his face: "If you want to commit a crime, why don't you have any excuses?"

Fang Ziwei was taken aback, and quickly said: "What does Dad mean by that?"

Fang Ji's gaze slowly fell on Fang Ziwei's face, and the expression in his eyes flickered: "Qingfeng Temple is not any other temple, and your elder brother... hey, those things your elder brother did!"

Fang Ziwei frowned tightly, looked at Fang Ji and said, "Father, as far as I know, even if Eldest Brother has the guts, he would not dare to touch the people around Mrs. Juechen. Besides, Mrs. Juechen has dark clothes around her." Riding a guard, it is almost impossible for the elder brother to get close!"

Fang Ji said: "Impossible, but there is nothing wrong with it! Originally, Dad also had doubts in his heart, but he didn't know that unfilial son of yours until he really figured it out!"

"How about big brother?" For some reason, Fang Ziwei felt a chill in her heart.

Fang Ji said coldly: "How is he? He didn't remember the lesson the secret door taught him, and it got worse! Father sent someone to investigate, and the Taoist nun that day was a Taoist nun next to Mrs. Juechen!"

Fang Ziwei was shocked: "Daddy, it's impossible!"

Fang Ji said: "Father originally thought it was impossible, but that unfilial son, who was so ambitious, coveted the beauty of Mrs. Juechen! I don't know who helped him to bribe the man who was on duty in Mrs. Juechen's compound." Little nun."

"The little nun found a reason and sent Master Juechen down the mountain." Having said this, Fang Ji looked at Fang Ziwei with a dark look in his eyes and said, "That bastard, he wants to kill our entire Fang family!"

Fang Ziwei was shocked when she heard it, her eyes were slightly dull.Seeing his father's face full of anger, thinking about his eldest brother, he couldn't help but feel more and more depressed.

She knew that the eldest brother had been ignorant, but he definitely didn't have the guts to let him attack Master Juechen.It can only be said that whoever secretly used the eldest brother caused the Fang family to panic every step of the way.

Fang Ziwei calmed down, and lightly patted Fang Ji's back: "Father, don't get angry. Now the Fang family still depends on you. Ziwei entered the palace today, and I heard that the Supreme Emperor is in better health."

Fang Ji was slightly taken aback, looked at Fang Ziwei and said, "There has been no news from the Ming and Qing Palaces for a long time, where did you get the news from?"

Fang Ziwei pursed her lips and said: "Father, now that the emperor is back in the palace, he will naturally go to the Ming and Qing Palace to visit the Supreme Emperor. Ziwei just asked people to follow him to find out the news, in case he needs it from time to time."

Fang Ji looked at his daughter, he knew that her daughter was very smart since she was a child, and she was also very tolerant.There are many things that she would never say, but she has some calculations in her heart.

"Ziwei, listen to my father, no matter what, don't provoke the emperor!" Fang Ji frowned.

Fang Ziwei thought about being in the palace today, she greeted the emperor in Renshou Palace and was directly ignored by the emperor, she frowned slightly, then quickly let go, and said gently: "Daddy taught, Ziwei will keep it in mind."

Fang Ji sighed, stretched out his hand and patted his daughter's shoulder, and sighed, "Ziwei, Daddy knows what's on your mind. But you have to know, the current Emperor is not the Supreme Emperor."

Fang Ziwei was slightly taken aback, but did not speak.The slender eyelashes were slightly blown, covering all the emotions in those dark eyes.

"The queen today is not the concubine Mei from back then." Fang Ji seemed to be lost in memory, and he did not forget to tell his daughter: "Concubine Mei didn't fight back then because she couldn't fight anymore!"

"Back then the Supreme Emperor really loved Concubine Mei, even more so than the current Emperor. But even though the Supreme Emperor loved Concubine Mei back then, he was still unwilling to love only one woman."

After a pause, Fang Ji said: "But the current emperor is different. The current emperor has a special liking for the empress. If we say that there are beauties in the world, except for the current empress, there is probably no woman whose face can catch the emperor's eyes."

Fang Ziwei smiled slightly, her smile was faint, she could not see any joy or anger, nor could she hear any dissatisfaction, she was as gentle and quiet as always: "Ziwei knows what Dad said. The face of the current emperor is rare in the world. Moreover, the current emperor does not only care about appearances."

Fang Ji nodded slightly: "If the emperor pays attention to appearance, how can there be only the empress in the entire harem at this moment? No matter how beautiful a woman's face is, it is just like a winter plum blossom outside the window. It is only a season. When the flowering season is over, the next year In spring, more flowers will bloom. Serving you with your appearance will never last long."

After finishing speaking, Fang Ji looked at his daughter Fang Ziwei and said, "Since ancient times, there have been countless grievances in the harem. Ziwei, you are my father's daughter, and my father does not want you to go into the muddy waters of the harem. The harem is indeed a major foundation for stabilizing the government, but it depends Who is in power."

"Father objected to your entering the palace back then because he saw the attitude of the current emperor. And you insisted on entering the palace, hey!" Fang Ji sighed, and said gently: "Now it's hard to get out of the palace, Ziwei, dad will find a good one for you." Marriage, find a good man."

The slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and Fang Ziwei's hands in her cuffs tightened slightly.She still looked at her father Fangji gently, and nodded meekly: "Daddy, Ziwei knows his mistake."

Fang Ji smiled gratifiedly: "Good boy, there are many men in the world. The emperor is indeed a rare good husband in the world, but given his status, he will not be the best choice for a husband."

"Although there is only the empress in the current harem, it won't be long before the envoys from the frontier country enter the palace, and the entire Jingling City will be bustling again. At that time, the empress may have trouble sleeping and eating again."

Fang Ziwei nodded meekly: "What Dad said is that it is better to be a good Xu than to marry the emperor."

Fang Ji nodded with great satisfaction: "It's rare for you to understand this point. Hearing you say that, Dad will be relieved."

Fang Ziwei said with a smile: "Daddy, let's go rest for a while, my younger brother Ziwei will watch. If my younger brother wakes up and sees Daddy so haggard, according to my younger brother's temperament, I will definitely blame myself."

Fang Ji looked at Fang Chen who was unconscious on the bed, and saw that the doctor had already taken his pulse, so he nodded and said, "Forget it, Dad, go out and get some air."

After leaving the room, Fang Ji asked the doctor behind him, "How is Chen'er?"

The doctor respectfully said: "Master, don't worry, the young master is in good condition. There were falls before, but they have all been treated, and they have been treated very well."

"The old man has already prescribed a prescription. According to this prescription, someone will take the medicine and give it to the young master to get rid of the cold. If he cultivates well, the young master will get better." With that said, the doctor handed the prescription to Fang Ji.

Fang Ji handed the prescription to Uncle Li who was beside him, and Uncle Li went straight to ask someone to follow the doctor's medicine boy to get the medicine.

After seeing off the doctor, Fang Ji looked at the gray sky, and in front of his eyes were the plum blossoms in full bloom, proudly and beautifully on the branches.With a gloomy expression on his face, he walked towards the ancestral hall with a heavy heart.
