Evil King's Favorite Concubine

Chapter 316 Man's Heart
Back in the palace, Ye Lingxu stared at the dignified woman in front of him. The delicate and delicate face caught his eyes made him always unconsciously think of a more stunning woman.However, every time he thought of his current physical condition, he would shake his head vigorously.

If you really love her, letting her go is the best choice.

"Your Majesty..." the woman lowered her eyebrows and whispered softly, although it was not as clear as Fang Chuchu's voice, but it had its own sweetness.The shyness in the eyes is exactly the same.The cool eyes flashed brightly, and the love in the eyes was undisguised. "It's a great blessing to be able to marry the emperor. From now on, I will serve you with all my strength."

After the woman finished speaking, she raised her lips and smiled, but because of that delicate voice, Ye Lingxu was brought back from her thoughts. The beautiful woman in front of her may be more suitable for the identity of the queen than her.But so what, the person in his heart is still not her.

With dark eyes as deep as the sea, he said coldly: "I'm afraid I don't have this blessing. The empress only needs to do her part well, and don't need to think about the rest."

Ye Lingxu secretly thought about it, he is poisonous in love, so if he can stop harming others, then don't harm others.If this stubborn princess is a good person, wouldn't it be a crime for him to harm an innocent woman?If she is not a good person, I don't need to entangle her too much, I just need to treat her like a guest and divorce her before he dies.

Zhizhi was completely dumbfounded after hearing Ye Lingxu's words, and his red lips were pursed into a straight line. It seems that just driving Fang Chuchu away is not a surefire solution, but taking Ye Lingxu's heart is the best strategy.Thinking of this, Zhizhi smiled, "The concubine obeys the order."

If you want to win his heart, the first step is of course to obey his will, pretending to be a well-behaved woman, why not do it?

According to court regulations, the three days after the emperor welcomes him is not as good as going to court, but Ye Lingxu didn't wait until the end of the three days. He finished dealing with Fang Chuchu's affairs on the second day, and threw a letter of revision to her so that the court could start on the morning of the third day.

He doesn't have much time now, so he has to figure out a way to deal with the next difficulties. The first thing to bear the brunt is the joint attack of the three countries of Liao, Chu and Qi, which is close to Fang Chuchu's arrangement, and then, after he dies, he will always arrange a Proper people manage this huge Wei country.

"Yang Rong has already requested to be the marshal. Do you think there are any candidates recommended by the vanguard and guards?" Ye Lingxu swept his evil eyes, and his calm eyes circled around Baiguan's body, sweeping lightly towards him. The ministers who danced the most on weekdays.

But when his eyes swept over, those courtiers either bowed their heads or turned a blind eye, pretending not to understand.

When he returned to the bedroom, he saw a bowl of tonic on the desk.

"Who sent it?" Ye Lingxu asked in a deep voice, now that he doesn't care about his poor health, and Chu Chu was driven away by him, who else would care about his health.

The eunuch next to him heard the words, bowed his head and replied respectfully: "It's the empress, she said that the emperor's complexion is not very good today, so she specially boiled this tonic and sent it to the emperor.

"Where is she?" Growing up in the palace, how could Ye Lingxu not understand the tricks of those concubines in the harem, thinking that a bowl of tonic could get into his heart?dream?
Unexpectedly, after hearing Ye Lingxu's question, the eunuch was stunned for a moment, "The empress has returned to the Jiaofang Palace. She said she still needs to read, so she won't stay any longer."

When Ye Lingxu heard the words, he only responded lightly: "Oh."

Seeing Ye Lingxu's gloomy face, the eunuch could only withdraw wisely.

In the Jiaofang Palace, the mother-in-law of quality, Mother Qin, learned that Ye Lingxu not only did not praise quality, but did not even drink the tonic, she couldn't help being impatient, "Empress, do you think the emperor won't sell you?"

"It doesn't matter, sooner or later he will be moved." Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Zhi Zhi looked at his own face like Wodan in the mirror, and brushed Shengxue's skin with his bare hands, "Women are not more beautiful than men. Yes, especially a man like Ye Lingxu, who has never seen such a beauty? What he wants is a certain quality, a special temperament that can attract him."

"The queen is born beautiful, so she must have this quality." Mother Qin flattered her.

Shi Dai draws carefully on the crescent eyebrows, and smiles, "People have their own self-knowledge. Since I don't have Fang Chuchu's beauty, I naturally have to start from other aspects."

"What does the queen mean?" Mother Qin was a little confused.

Zhizhi put Shi Dai down and looked at the dazed mother-in-law, "Nurse entered Yan Palace with Er Niang at the age of 13, and now she is seventy-seven, and she has never met a man, right?"

Mother Qin's face turned pale, and she said weakly: "No, no..." Usually, what I see in the palace is either royal family or nobles or eunuchs who have been eunuchs. The former doesn't like her, and the latter she doesn't like. Where have you met other men?
"That's why Mammy doesn't understand a man's heart. This man, if he's just beginning to fall in love, you should take off your clothes; if he's seen countless people, you should stand by the stove."

Mammy still didn't understand, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions, she just kept silent and handed Zhizhi her favorite rouge and gouache from time to time.

After carefully dressing up for an hour, Zhi Zhi looked at the sky outside, "It's noon, go and bring the haw jelly made by the cook, the emperor has lost his appetite these days, maybe some haw jelly would be better."

"Old servant complies." Mammy nodded and left.

In the Nine Dragon Palace, Ye Lingxu was upset not knowing what Fang Chuchu was doing now, but Yang Rong reported the news and told Ye Lingxu: "My lady is safe, but I just heard from the waiter in the inn that the food brought into her room has never been touched."

Ye Lingxu was startled, "Is she on a hunger strike?"

"No, I just heard that I have a bad appetite and the food cooked by the cook at the inn doesn't suit my mother's taste, so..." Yang Rong stammered, he really didn't understand, if the emperor really loves his mother, so what if he married his wife? ?With the means of the emperor, it is absolutely impossible not to keep her.

However, why did the emperor insist on driving her away from him even at the risk of being hated by her and being misunderstood by her?
"Your Majesty, this is the hawthorn cake sent by Jiaofangdian. The queen heard that the emperor has not had a good appetite these days, so she specially cooks the pastry herself." The voice of Jiaofangdian's servant came from outside the hall.

Ye Lingxu hesitated for a moment, "Come in..."

The maid respectfully brought the hawthorn cake into the bedroom, and Ye Lingxu looked at the exquisite pastry, and reached out to take a piece for the first time.Putting it in the mouth, the sweet and sour taste is particularly refreshing, and the boredom is also reduced a lot at any time.

The servant girl smiled secretly when she saw this, and went back to her life with the tray. She didn't expect that after she left, Ye Lingxu wrapped the cakes herself, "Chuchu doesn't have a good appetite, take this to her, don't say it's me Yes. Just say..."

"Just say that Yan Mo bought it." Ye Lingxu pondered for a moment, and finally found a somewhat reasonable explanation.

Yang Rong looked at the pastry in his hand. The brocade wrapped in haw jelly was a first-class brocade tribute from the imperial court. How could Fang Chuchu not see it?He took the cakes out of the palace, bought something to eat outside the palace, exchanged the two, and then sent them to Fang Chuchu's inn.

"Yan Mo bought it because he was worried about you. Madam, please use it slowly."

Fang Chuchu looked out of the window with blank eyes, saw the white snow, and chuckled, "There is no Queen of Wei here, only Princess Qi, please take this pastry back."

Unexpectedly, Fang Chuchu would refuse so firmly, Yang Rong hesitated for a moment, and put the bag on the table, "Yang Rong was entrusted by Yan Mo, my lady... If the princess doesn't want it, I will return it to Yan Mo myself." After finishing speaking Turning around quickly, Fang Chuchu didn't even have a chance to hesitate.

On the first floor of the inn, Mu Pei went out to purchase the dry food needed for the journey and came back. He happened to see Yang Rong who came down from the second floor. The two passed each other, each with dissatisfaction and suspicion in their eyes.

Mu Pei hurried upstairs and knocked on Fang Chuchu's room, but saw her staring at a bag of pastries in a daze, opened it, and immediately came to a conclusion.Where else can such exquisite pastries be made other than the imperial dining room?
"Princess, I have already contacted the King of Xiangan, and he will arrive in Youzhou in three days. At that time, we will set off to return to Qi State together." Mu Pei looked down and saw Fang Chuchu's thin face. I wish to see you so haggard."

Fang Chuchu remained calm when she heard the words, she was thinking, thinking of a way to meet Ye Lingxu successfully; she didn't believe that if Ye Lingxu didn't love her, why did she marry her as the princess in the first place regardless of everyone's opposition.However, the facts seemed to make her compromise.

My mind was in a mess, the best way was to ask Ye Lingxu to clarify.

Now everyone in the prince's mansion has entered the palace one after another. Outside the palace, the only one she still knows is that little boy Yan Ning.

Taking advantage of Mu Pei's nap, Fang Chuchu quickly came to Yan's mansion, and gently pulled the iron ring on the door.

"Who is it?" A gruff man inside replied.

Fang Chuchu was taken aback, and after she stabilized her mind, she said, "I'm Yan Ning's old friend, and I have urgent business with him."

"I don't know Yanning, why don't you let me rest, don't hinder me from resting." Said the impolite voice inside.

"Qiong Mansion?" Fang Chuchu took two steps back and looked up. Sure enough, the plaque has been changed from Yan Mansion to Qiong Mansion.Thinking about it, Yan Ning is the grandson of General Yan, how could he be allowed to live in such a remote small house.

With a helpless smile, he walked towards the inn in a daze.

Walking on the street with people coming and going, Fang Chuchu looked at the family of three, or the loving young couple passing by her from time to time, feeling very sad.Why is it that others can have a happy family so easily, but she can't do it simply because she just wants to be accompanied by someone she loves?
Just yesterday, the person she thought would fall in love with her forever, unreservedly opened up her most painful scar in front of everyone, and even sprinkled salt on it indifferently.Fang Chuchu didn't know whether it was because of the cold or because of her mood, her two clear eyes were sour and astringent, tears seemed to fall at any moment.

"Don't you have long eyes when you walk? I didn't see that this is the official road. What way are you going!" A high-pitched and resonant voice came, Fang Chuchu raised her tear-filled eyes, and saw a luxurious carriage parked In front of my eyes, and she was no more than a semicolon away from the dark horse's nose.

"Okay, Ah Zhong, let me forgive you." A familiar voice sounded in the carriage, and as the curtain was lifted, Fang Chuchu could clearly see the people inside.

"Miss!"

"Yanning..."

Two voices sounded simultaneously.
