Concubine is always vicious

Chapter 114

Using the marriage as a bargaining chip, Huo Lanxi, the princess of Lanxi, was given to the second prince Zhao Wuji, saving a border war crisis.

Li Mu, whose official position remained unchanged, returned to the frontier army with a piece of paper on the second day after Huo Tianxiao proclaimed himself emperor.As for what was written in the document, no one knew except Huo Tianxiao and Li Mu.

All the things are intricate, but Huo Tianxiao has made them all clear, and they are not bad at all.

His new identity was gradually recognized amidst the reverence and awe of the people across the country.

However, what no one noticed was that Huo Tianxiao's originally stern face would never see a trace of a smile.

……

Ten days later, the autumn rain continued.

In the imperial study room, a man in a black brocade robe stood outside the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the misty autumn rain outside.

In just a few days, crow's feet crept out of the corners of his eyes.However, this does not damage his temperament, on the contrary, it exudes a mature and vicissitudes of masculinity from him.

Cui Jian knocked on the door and entered, looked at Huo Tianxiao who was secretly sad, and sighed in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, you are ready, shall we go now?"

"Let's go." Huo Tianxiao rubbed his forehead to conceal his physical and mental fatigue.

Cui Jian took a quick step, reached the door, and opened the oil-paper umbrella.

Huo Tianxiao didn't get in, but took the umbrella from his hand, supported it by himself, and walked into the rain curtain.

Cui Jian was taken aback for a moment, quickly took another handful, and followed behind.

The master and servant walked very quickly, and they left the courtyard in a short while. Outside, a luxurious carriage was waiting.

After getting in the car and taking his seat, Huo Tianxiao didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Cui Jian had unspeakable worries, but felt that Huo Tianxiao's temper had grown a bit lately, more irritable than before, so he didn't dare to say more, so he just sat quietly beside him.

The atmosphere was dreary, even dreary than the rainy autumn air.

After walking for about two hours, the carriage stopped, and a servant outside lifted the curtain and stood outside respectfully.

A trace of unknown emotion flashed in Huo Tianxiao's eyes, and he got out of the car with an umbrella.

This is the royal mausoleum, where all the kings of the Xingluo Dynasty were buried. However, a new guest moved in here a few days ago.

Huo Tianxiao stood in the rain and looked into the distance. He didn't know why everything he saw in his eyes was so blurry. Of course, he would not admit that it was because his eyes were sore and blurred by tears.

He strode forward, and when he got here, Cui Jian also became more cautious, following behind, but he didn't dare to get too close.

Huo Tianxiao walked faster and faster, as if he wanted to put something behind him, Cui Jian complained, thinking that this is really not a fucking human job.

Shrinking his shoulders, resisting the cold, his steps also became wider.

After drinking a cup of tea, Huo Tianxiao stopped, and Cui Jian had no choice but to stop. The distance between the two sides was about twenty feet, and it was raining heavily. In the distance, only a blurry figure could be seen.

Cui Jian knew Huo Tianxiao's grief clearly in his heart, he only hated himself for not being able to empathize with him, and taking all of this on himself.

But he didn't have the guts to speak, he could only watch helplessly as Huo Tianxiao was immersed in pain and couldn't extricate himself.

Huo Tianxiao stood in front of a newly erected tombstone, for a long time, a long time, without moving, but the firm lines of his face were all melted, so soft that it was outrageous.

When he opened his mouth to speak, his voice was extremely hoarse.

He said, "Chen, I'm here to see you."

A few short words, but it seems that all the strength has been exhausted. After speaking, the chest cavity feels tight, as if someone is tearing apart inch by inch.

He thought he should say a few more words, but he didn't know what to say at all.

Huo Tianchen used his own body to even downplay the hatred between him and Empress Dowager Li. He should have noticed early in the morning that Empress Dowager Li had an unusual relationship with Nanjiang.

So what he said that day not to kill Empress Dowager Li was half true and half false.

He hated her so much, but couldn't kill her, just because he wanted to pave the way for him to become emperor.What more can he say about such a brotherhood of self-sacrifice?

Even if it's not a real brother, even if Huo Tianchen doesn't know who is the child who stayed behind, those, are they important?It doesn't matter at all!
And the Sri Lankan has passed away, so is it useful to say more?The only thing left is pain and hatred.

Everyone can only see the glorious side of being an emperor, but no one can see their pain.Everyone has completely forgotten how much an emperor has to sacrifice for the balance and constraints of this country in order to achieve this.If, he is just a person, he can enjoy revenge and revenge.However, the momentary happiness of the individual has caused this country and thousands of people to fall into dire straits.Even though he didn't want to be a wise king, he didn't want to see so many lives, the desolation brought to the country's great rivers and mountains by the misery of life.

Therefore, he obeyed Huo Tianchen's last words before he died, but that doesn't mean he didn't regret it.

It was raining all the time, and the icy chill penetrated through the thin clothes and penetrated into the skin, giving people a biting cold.Cui Jian really wanted to go forward and put a blanket on Huo Tianxiao, but he didn't dare to move. He knew that with Huo Tianxiao's current state, he was destined to be disowned by his relatives and turn his back on him.

And at this moment, an elegant voice came from afar, "Your Majesty, aren't you cold?" Upon hearing that voice, Cui Jian's eyes lit up, realizing that he was saved.

However, just because of that woman, he couldn't help but sigh.After Huo Tianxiao came to the throne, he did a lot of things, and he handled everything in an orderly manner without any mistakes.

The only thing that Huo Tianxiao didn't deal with was An Huan's identity.No one dared to ask him whether it was on purpose or not, but in private, there were people fighting for An Huan.Cui Jian's sigh was exactly what he meant.According to the past tradition, Huo Tianxiao ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, so An Huan, as the concubine of Xiaoyao, should of course become the mistress of a country and be named the queen.

However, without Huo Tianxiao's order, she is still just a concubine, but she has changed from a prince's concubine to an emperor's concubine.

After Cui Jian sighed, he retreated consciously until Huo Tianxiao couldn't see him, because he knew that An Huan was here, so there was no need for him to worry about many things.

"What are you doing here?" Huo Tianxiao said indifferently without looking back.

An Huan chuckled, "The concubine knew that the emperor was here, so she followed her. Fortunately, she came in time." Then, she took a step forward and put a thickened robe on Huo Tianxiao's body.

His clothes were soaked in mist and chill, so he couldn't feel much warmth. What really made Huo Tianxiao feel warm was An Huan's actions.

He never had the habit of saying thank you, so he just kept his mouth shut.

There was silence for a while, but An Huan spoke first, she said, "Your Majesty, I want to burn a stick of incense."

"Huh?" Huo Tianxiao frowned slightly.An Huan looked at him with clear eyes and asked for his consent.

Huo Tianxiao moved a step sideways to get out of the way. An Huan took the sandalwood from Xiyue behind him, lit it, bowed reverently, and put the incense in the niche.

She was muttering to herself, saying words that Huo Tianxiao couldn't understand.

"What are you talking about?" Huo Tianxiao asked.

An Huan smiled, "It's nothing, the emperor is interested in the words from our hometown?"

"Hmph, not interested." Shaking his head, Huo Tianxiao showed disdain.

An Huan sneered, ever since she saw everything outside the window that day, she knew clearly that Huo Tianxiao was a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Although many people were complaining about her status, what others valued might not be what she values.

"I won't say anything if the emperor is not interested." She smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously.

Huo Tianxiao looked at her in surprise. He had been indifferent to her these days, and he knew it in his heart.

But the strange thing is that An Huan has become more and more gentle, like a woman who came out of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, as gentle as water.

Of course, a thorn stuck in the throat was not pulled out, and even though it was slowly digested over time, the feeling of foreign objects in the throat could not be eliminated.

To him, An Huan's change was actually another thorn. Is he that fragile?It takes a woman makeover to comfort him.

It's just that what Huo Tianxiao didn't expect at all was, if there was no reason, how could this woman change her appearance?

At this time, Huo Tianxiao's biggest feeling was just discomfort, he waved his hand, "Go back first."

"What about you?"

"Do not bother me."

She smiled, "I have something to tell you."

"We'll talk about it when we go back." His tone was slightly impatient.

She smiled and stopped, but Huo Tianxiao glared at her, but she was still not angry at all, so he could only say, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

An Huan couldn't help but laugh, and his heart became more and more convinced that he was a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

It seems that a woman's tenderness is always a deadly weapon to a man.

Slowly, she said, "There is news from Daxiong Temple."

Frowning sharply, he asked, "What news?"

"Da Zongba released the news during the retreat that Bodhidharma's body has been half refined and will be released soon."

"What?" I was shocked, the speed was so fast, it really wasn't good news.

"How could it be so fast?" Huo Tianxiao couldn't believe it.

An Huan shook her head, expressing that she was not sure. In fact, she was also very puzzled about this matter. At first she thought it was just a rumor, but after investigation, it was confirmed that the news was indeed from the Daeun Temple , she had to treat it with caution.

"What should we do?" Huo Tianxiao asked.

"Strong attack. Before Da Zongba is fully refined, strike first."

Huo Tianxiao thought for a while, "No."

She opened her eyes wide, and immediately, Huo Tianxiao said again, "Don't you think this is very strange?"

An Huan nodded. It was indeed strange. According to legend, Bodhidharma's body was extremely difficult to refine, but it was only over a month ago, and Da Zongba claimed that he had refined half of it. The speed was indeed unbelievable.

"This matter must be treated with caution." Huo Tianxiao said in a deep voice.

"I'm worried that Da Zongba won't give us so much time." An Huan expressed his worry.

Huo Tianxiao waved his hand, "Don't worry, I will arrange everything myself."

His tone was very confident and determined, no matter how many questions An Huan had, they could only be buried in his heart, so it was hard to say anything.

The atmosphere became quiet again.

The rain kept falling, and it was very cold, and the sound of breathing was covered by the sound of falling rain, and I couldn't hear it at all.

After a long time, An Huan said, "Your Majesty, my condolences."

In fact, this is what she really wanted to say when she hurriedly followed Huo Tianxiao here today, because the news about the Great Eunuch Temple would spread quickly without her own words. In Huo Tianxiao's ears.

However, without a good opportunity, words of concern are always difficult to say.

Although now is not a good time to say this, Huo Tianxiao is as cold as a piece of wood, repelling and resisting everything indifferently.
