concubines

Chapter 351 Why Did You Lie To Me?

The battle has been fought, the army returned to the court, and finally won an all-round victory.

Zhou Shuxuan's tense strings also relaxed, and he made up his mind to take a good rest.All the officials in the capital had a three-day holiday, so he himself felt a little more relaxed.

Said it was a rest, but Zhou Shuxuan was still processing the memorial, but it was not as rushed as before, and he could barely relax for a while if he didn't want to read it.

The land area has increased by another piece, and we have to continue to work in the future.

Zhou Shuxuan is a little tired now, he leans on the dragon chair and wants to spend some time in a daze quietly, for him, being in a daze is an extremely extravagant thing.

Dazed, suddenly blurred, as if someone came in, knelt down in front of him, "My concubine greets the emperor."

Zhou Shuxuan came back to his senses, looked over, she was the one who came over, and quickly said, "Get up."

Before a person opens his mouth, he knows what it is for.Anyway, it can't be for him, it must be for the eldest princess.

Knowing what she was doing, Zhou Shuxuan asked patiently, "Why are you here?"

Miao Li looked around and said nothing.Zhou Shuxuan asked everyone in the room to retreat, and asked again: "Can we talk now?"

Miao Li didn't make any foreshadowing, and went straight to the point, "The concubine wants to know if Princess Zhuang Ding really died in battle?"

Look, it's exactly the same as what he thought, there is no discrepancy.

Zhou Shuxuan looked up at her and asked, "What do you think?"

Miao Li said with great certainty: "I don't think so. The princess is very skilled in martial arts, so she cannot die easily in battle."

Zhou Shuxuan glanced beside him, "Come here, and I'll tell you."

This is no longer a difficult choice, Miao Li walked over without thinking.Zhou Shuxuan moved a little further, patted the seat beside him, and said, "Sit."

Miao Li hesitated for a moment, "The concubine dare not."

This is the dragon chair, and she has taken care of many things.If he made the dragon chair more easily, he might think too much.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't think much about it, and was very relieved of her.Temperament can decide everything, she is not the kind of person who thinks a lot.She cares about some government affairs, but she doesn't even know a few of the ministers in the court.As she said, she just cares about the country.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't persuade him much, but stretched out his hand and pulled the man into his arms. Miao Li was unsteady on his feet and fell down on his lap.Satisfied, Zhou Shuxuan buried his head in the hollow of her shoulder, and said sullenly, "Don't dare to sit on a chair, just sit on my lap."

Miao Li was stiff all over, she didn't dare to move, but her voice was very steady, "Can the emperor tell the concubine now?"

As long as she can know the answer, it doesn't matter if she sacrifices a little.

Zhou Shuxuan put his arms around her waist and said, "I don't know whether she is dead or alive."

Miao Li couldn't calm down anymore, she raised her head and looked into his eyes and asked, "How could the emperor not know?"

Zhou Shuxuan stretched out his hand to hold her hand next to his face, "I really don't know, the news I received is the same as what you heard."

"No...possible." How could this be?

He shouldn't be telling lies at this time, but if he's telling the truth, she can't believe it.Could it be that she killed another person in a disguised form?This time she could obviously compromise and bow her head to please her, why didn't the result change?
Seeing her devastated appearance, she must have been frightened.Zhou Shuxuan took the opportunity to hug her tighter, "I don't believe it either, but the news is so. I have posthumously named her Princess Zhuang Dingzhao. When the army returns her coffin, I will bury her with military rites."

To put it bluntly, he had prepared everything for the funeral, which made Miaoli unable to believe it.The tears could not be held back, and he kept wiping away the tears with the back of his hand.

Zhou Shuxuan saw that people were crying in fright, so he quickly stopped, "They said that they didn't even find the bones, and what they sent back were just some clothes. I hope she deliberately faked her death after receiving my letter, and she didn't know where she went. I went, so I couldn't find the bones."

After he wrote the letter, it seemed that they still fulfilled their letter.

Miaoli came to her senses and cried even harder. She stretched out her hand and thumped him, crying and asking, "Why did you lie to me, why did you lie to me?"

How hateful this person is, isn't it good to say that from the beginning?Don't tell the truth until you frighten her by talking about those nonsense things.

Zhou Shuxuan reached out his hand to wipe her tears, and said with a faint smile, "I didn't lie to you, what I said was indeed the truth. Think about it carefully, which one of my words is false?"

Miaoli couldn't hold back her tears for a while, wiped and thumped him again, "You are still making unreasonable words, you obviously did it on purpose."

Zhou Shuxuan laughed even harder, and buried his head back on her shoulder.If he didn't say that on purpose, how could he bear these two fists?Even if she might not have thought of it for a while, it would be very sweet to him to hit his wound.

Miao Li adjusted for a long time, and finally held back all the tears.His emotions were not as out of control as before, and he wanted to stand up from his lap, and he didn't want to be so close to him.

Miao Li sat up slightly, "The concubine still has something to deal with in the palace, and the concubine has to go back."

Zhou Shuxuan didn't seem to hear it, holding her didn't change at all.

Miao Li added, "Huang Zhaoyi has something to look for later, and the concubine really has to go back."

Zhou Shuxuan said again sullenly, "You just put on your pants and don't recognize anyone. If you get what you want, you will ruthlessly abandon me."

He seems to be an infatuated and resentful woman, but she is a fickle heartbreaker.

Miao Li defended without confidence, "There is no concubine, there is really something to do."

Zhou Shuxuan buried his head in her shoulder and continued, "Did you forget the terms of exchange that day? I agreed to your request and did it. You are no longer your own, but mine."

When he came to ask for the debt, Miao Li couldn't deny it, so she didn't resist any more.

Sensing her emotional change, Zhou Shuxuan suddenly raised his head and said, "I'm going to kiss you now, is it okay?"

Can't he just do whatever he wants?He insisted on saying it, and asked her if it was okay, but she didn't know how to answer.If she had to tell the truth, she couldn't.

Miao Li avoided his eyes, did not dare to meet his gaze, and did not answer his question.

This small appearance is shy and timid.What a deceitful move, as if his molestation succeeded.Only he knew in his heart that she was just keeping her promise.

What is he promising to do?What he wants is affection.

Zhou Shuxuan let go of her, "Go back and do your business."

Don't hang around in front of his eyes, it wasn't that annoying in the first place, it disturbed him.

Miao Li hurriedly stood up and saluted politely, "The concubine will leave."

Miao Li left immediately after getting up, a little bit like running away, afraid that he would suddenly regret it.

Zhou Shuxuan sat on the dragon chair and looked at her. He seemed to have seen her bouncing and running in his memory. He probably would never see her again in his lifetime.

Miao Li returned to Qingquan Palace, her mood was still fluctuating.But one more thing was done, and she would have less chance to see him.

Walking in with big strides, it was really rare to find Meng Runlin inside.

After letting him go to the Ministry of War, he never came back, like a piece of meat in a pack of hungry wolves.He Jinzhou tried his best not to let him go back, as if he really didn't have any useful people under his command.

Miao Li rubbed her eyes, went over and asked, "Why are you back?"

Meng Runlin stood up and said, "I've been on vacation for the past few days, and I didn't have anything to do, so I ran back secretly."

"Are you still going after that?"

"Looking at He Shangshu's meaning, he still wants me to go again. I don't really want to go myself, and I don't have a formal official position. I was just helping them before. Now I have nothing to do. It's better to come back. But I don’t know what to do when I get back.”

Miao Li said relaxedly: "Go home, continue to be your teacher, don't you still have a lot of students?"

"I think so too, but I don't know if the emperor will let me go back." Meng Runlin tilted his head to look at her, only to realize that her eyes were red, "Where did you go just now? Who's making trouble for you again?"

"You think too much, it's just that you're not feeling well recently, your eyes are dry and uncomfortable, and a little red." Miao Li said under cover, "If you want to go back, you can tell him yourself."

Meng Runlin shook his head, "I'm afraid it's dangerous, and I probably won't be able to leave."

Zhou Yining came back from school after school, just heard him say this, and asked, "Where is Uncle going?"

"Go home." Meng Runlin patted his head. This child is much more obedient than Qingxi, and he is likable. "There are a lot of students at home, I have to go back and teach others."

"I'm also my uncle's student, why don't you stay in the palace and teach me to read."

Meng Runlin smiled and said, "I don't have the qualifications yet. The emperor has to choose your scholar." Although Zhou Yining has no title yet, he has not been given an official title.But looking at it like this, he is the future prince, and most people can't teach him to read.

Zhou Yining asked loudly: "Why?"

He doesn't want to be so sensible now, he just wants a reason.Those who get along well, why must we separate.Where is there so much compulsion?He just wanted to play with Qingxi all the time, he wanted to be in Qingquan Palace all the time, and he wanted Meng Runlin to teach him to read.

Before Meng Runlin could answer, Zhou Yining ran away.Meng Runlin turned around and asked Miaoli strangely, "What's wrong?"

Miao Li also shook her head, "I don't know either, it might be a child throwing a temper tantrum, I'll ask someone to check it out."

Zhou Yining ran all the way back to Longde Hall, and went directly to Zhou Shuxuan. "Your Majesty, I want to ask for an imperial decree."

He has always been emotionally restrained, and he has never seen him so excited.

Zhou Shuxuan asked blankly, "What imperial decree?"

"I just heard in Qingquan Palace that my uncle is going home. I think he has been staying in the palace to teach my son to read."

This matter fell right into his arms.
