concubines

Chapter 343

It's been a long time since I've been to this place, and Miao Li is a bit reluctant to sleep again, she doesn't sleep well at night, and barely closes her eyes when it's almost dawn.After sleeping for less than an hour, I heard someone knocking on the door outside.

A court lady shouted outside, "Your Majesty, the emperor is going to court early."

Miao Li turned over and covered her head with the quilt, no matter what happened outside, she didn't have the slightest idea of ​​getting up.

The people outside were still shouting uninterestedly, "Your Majesty, the Emperor asked you to go over and change his medicine."

Do all the people in his house eat dry food?He didn't even know how to change a single medicine, and all of them were pulled out and beheaded.Miao Li was so sleepy that she didn't even want to lift her eyelids.I didn't even have the thought of opening my mouth, so I just shrank under the quilt, pretending that I didn't know anything.

After yelling two more times without answering, the people outside left.Miao Li breathed a sigh of relief in a daze, and finally left, she wanted to sleep well.

Not long after closing her eyes, Miao Li became a little dazed.I vaguely felt that someone had opened the door and entered the room, and then sat on the edge of the bed.

Unable to tell whether it was a dream or reality, thinking that no one would dare to come in casually, it could only be a dream, so Miao Li continued to sleep.

But just as she was relieved, she felt someone push her, and then a man's voice sounded in the room, "Get up and change my medicine."

"You are so annoying!" Miao Li cried out sleepily.

Zhou Shuxuan sat by the bed with a smile all over his face. He didn't want her to get up and change his medicine. He was already satisfied to be yelled at by her with sincerity.

Zhou Shuxuan sat by the bed and didn't leave, and didn't continue to call her, cherishing every minute and every second now.I just wanted to say that I will not go to court today. After all, he was injured, and he was a little lazy for a day. The ministers would not say anything.

Before he could open his mouth, Miao Li jumped up from the bed, knelt on the bed and said: "This concubine has neglected her duty, change the emperor's medicine immediately."

Zhou Shuxuan sighed in his heart, she was cuter when she was in a drowsy sleep.As soon as she wakes up, there is no more cuteness, only respect and politeness, and people are trembling.

Now that she was fully awake, Zhou Shuxuan sent someone to deliver the medicine, then took off his clothes and exposed her shoulders for her to bandage up.

Miao Li was kneeling on the bed in her middle coat, reaching out to help him do these things, it didn't feel right.Just do her own thing well, treat him as a patient, and try not to think too much.

She may not have done these things for a long time, she is a little rusty, try to be careful not to touch his wound.

All Miao Li thought about was how to bandage him up, and what Zhou Shuxuan wanted was to look at her more, and he was reluctant to leave when his eyes fell on her.

She was called up before she woke up, and she still had a little tiredness on her face.She didn't apply any makeup or powder, and her hair was casually draped over her shoulders.Homely and comfortable, it was a look he hadn't seen for a long time.

After a lot of effort, Miaoli finally changed his medicine and wrapped him up perfectly. "Your Majesty, it's fine."

Zhou Shuxuan was a little distracted just now, but now he came back to his senses when he heard the voice, and took a look at the injury on his shoulder, it was not bad.His requirements are not high, as long as there is a piece of cloth to cover it.

Just one glance, and then turned his gaze back to Miao Li.Knowing that she is resisting him now, he reached out to her head and smoothed her slightly messy hair, "Then I'll go to court first, and you can sleep for a while."

Miao Li sat on the bed and watched him go out in a daze. It didn't feel weird at 01:30, it sounded like that.

I feel inexplicably that I will not be able to get off after I get on the pirate ship. Do I have to continue in such a muddle?Although there is no way to turn your eyes to your heart to see what is inside.But she can be sure that she doesn't want to go on like this.

She also said to sleep for a while, it is impossible for her to sleep for a while in this place.Not feeling sleepy at all, Miao Li simply got up.

Zhou Shuxuan is the complete opposite of her. He saw hope yesterday, but he is full of energy today.It could not be seen that there was an assassination in the palace, and those who didn't know thought that the emperor had some happy event.

The ministers standing below were somewhat skeptical about whether the news they heard was accurate. The emperor looked fine, and he didn't look like he had been assassinated.

Seeing that he was in very good condition, someone asked a few questions about the assassination.Because we don't know exactly what happened to the murderer, no one mentioned it after asking a few questions.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't want to mention anything, he just wanted to finish the matter at hand as soon as possible, then go back as soon as possible, and see the person he wanted to see as soon as possible.

But because his physical condition was too good, the minister felt that there was nothing wrong with him, and he didn't take his injury to heart at all.Anyway, the wound is not on his body, no one can feel it.So I dragged him to talk about things until the afternoon.

He also said that he could go back earlier, and he didn't even have time to go back for lunch.He didn't even have the time to ask one more question about Miao Li.I don't know if it's because he feels the problem or it's just like this, but today seems to be too busy.

It was almost dark, and several ministers hadn't left yet.Zhou Shuxuan impatiently tapped the table with his fingers, then gave Wei Hai a wink and asked him to think of a way.

Wei Hai said that he is also very helpless, standing here are a few old and rigid adults.If you offend them, you will receive a lot of sour words tomorrow.In order to make himself more relaxed, Wei Hai did not dare to take this risk.

Zhou Shuxuan cursed something useless in his heart, so he had to be patient and wait for them to finish.In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, Zhou Shuxuan got up and said with a straight face: "It's just such a trivial matter, don't need to be clichéd here. Go back and refine it, write a note and hand it over."

He clearly said before that writing the notebooks made him dizzy, and told them to state things that were not necessary in person, and now he asked them to go back and write the notebooks.Hearing the faint anger in the emperor's words, none of the adults dared to ask any questions.

"Minister Zunzhi." Several people said in unison, the moment they finished speaking and raised their heads, the emperor had already disappeared.

Several adults sighed: "It's really strange today. The emperor always puts state affairs first. I don't know what happened today? He walked so fast?"

Wei Hai walked out with a smile and said, "Probably the same state affairs are being dealt with, but the types are different."

Several adults quickly chased after him, grabbed Wei Hai and did not let him go, and asked, "For example, what is it?"

Wei Hai didn't dare to go into details, so he just evaded it with a few words.

Zhou Shuxuan returned to Longde Palace, he couldn't wait to see Miaoli, and asked when he entered the door, "Where is the imperial concubine?"

The little eunuch who was guarding the side replied, "The imperial concubine said that the emperor has already gone to court, and she doesn't need to serve here, so she went back to Qingquan Palace."

This is what she wanted, after all, she didn't stay here voluntarily.

Zhou Shuxuan was still inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, and asked again: "Did she say when she will come back?"

The eunuch shook his head, "Your Majesty never said that."

Zhou Shuxuanlue thought for a moment, but still wanted Miaoli to come back.He rushed back in such a hurry that he didn't even want the ministers, but he couldn't see anyone. Isn't it too bad.Anyway, I have done so many shameless things yesterday, so I don't need any shame today.

"Then please tell me now that I have already fallen to court and I want to change my medicine."

The one who listened to the conversation went out and asked, and Gao Fu came in when he was about to go out. "Your Majesty, Commander Shao is asking for an audience. He said that yesterday's assassination has already come to fruition."

Anyway, we have to wait for her to come over, and the Qingquan Palace is located in a remote place, so we have to walk for a while, so if we are idle, we will be idle.

Zhou Shuxuan put away the disappointment after looking forward to it on his face, became more serious, and said, "Let him in."

Commander Shao knelt on the ground, lowered his head and reported upwards, "I have carefully inspected the corpses of the assassins, and finally found clues on their clothes. There are hidden embroidery on them, show the emperor."

Zhou Shuxuan took it and looked at the light for a long time before he could vaguely see something, and asked uncertainly, "Is this tiger pattern?"

This tiger pattern looks like the totem of the Xichang royal family.

"Yes, it should be the tiger pattern. And the looks of those assassins don't seem to be from our country, they look more like Xichang people."

Zhou Shuxuan handed over the cloth in his hand, feeling that this matter was a bit big. "You mean the assassin in Xichang."

"I'm just guessing, and I can't be sure. But all kinds of evidence do point to them."

Zhou Shuxuan asked again: "If it's really them, why don't they poison the arrows, so that I can be cured to death. I shouldn't miss this opportunity. Could it be that someone deliberately planted the blame?"

"It's not impossible. I have another idea in my heart, I don't know when..."

"Just say it." Zhou Shuxuan interrupted him impatiently.

"When I came in yesterday, I saw the emperor protecting the imperial concubine. Could it be that their target is not the emperor but the imperial concubine?"

Zhou Shuxuan thought about it carefully, "Just take it as a possibility, or the question just now, why didn't they quench the poison on the arrow? That would be the end of it all."

"Maybe they don't want their lives, but have other purposes. But I can't think of what purpose, maybe it's just that I'm thinking too much."

If Xichang knew of the conflict between Princess Helan and Miaoli through some means, it would not be impossible to target Miaoli, but they obviously did not intend to put anyone to death.

Zhou Shuxuan carefully recalled the situation last night, and now thinking about it, it seems that the arrow was aimed at Miaoli, and indeed it passed towards Miaoli's face.

He stretched out his hand to block it, just in front of Miao Li.When the second arrow came over, it landed on his shoulder again, just in front of Miao Li's face.

It seems that something has been discovered, and they may not want their lives.Instead, it ruined the face of a beautiful woman and let her continue to live.

Really cruel.

Xichang looked restless.
