Chapter 390: A Person's Missing
After going through several battles, I finally met the person I thought about day and night.
Chu Xianzhao slept extremely comfortably under her comfort, and slept until three o'clock in the morning, and when he woke up, he seemed to have a smile on his face.
He patted his cheek, which was a little stiff, and he was the only one in the room.
Su Changyan estimated that she had gone to the early court, and now she is no longer her own maid, and she can't stick to her side and serve herself all day long like in the past.
He looked at himself in the floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror, and the scarlet eyebrows on his forehead slowly receded, leaving only a shallow red mark.
Chu Xianzhao stretched his waist, and his originally depressed mood was rarely cheerful.
He shook the silver bell beside the bed, and a belated palace maid walked in with hot water.
Chu Xianzhao looked down and saw that his chest was covered with several mottled wounds, both new and old, but the speed at which the injuries healed under the effect of the blood of the sunrise was amazing.
The slender and slender palace maid has the unique delicate and beautiful spirit of a woman in the west, and the girls in the northern regions are generally tall and beautiful, otherwise there would not be the saying that there are beautiful women in the north, and the country and the city are captivated.
For example, the girls in Yinguo and the Golden Horde are even better at riding and shooting, but the Golden Horde works all year round to grab horses and grass, and under the blowing of the yellow sand of the desert, most of them have yellowish faces and rough hands after thirty, which is naturally a lot worse than the women of Yinguo.
As for the women in the West and most of the girls in the Northern Regions, they are different from most of the girls in the Northern Regions, with the moist and beautiful women of the Southern Continent, and the slender and charming women of the Northern Regions, every time the beauty list of the world is refreshed before the death of the West, at least two women from the West will be selected among them.
After the death of the West in the country, there were official prostitutes from the West in the Qinglou, and the market was in demand.
The palace maid glanced at Chu Xianzhao's upper body, her little face suddenly turned red, and she put down the silver plate and quickly lowered her head, for fear of exceeding the rules.
People can't help themselves in the palace, the rules and regulations of the palace are strict, and the slightest mistake will lead to their own catastrophe.
After the turmoil of the court meeting in the west that day, the palace maids and guards in the palace did not dare to overstep in the slightest, especially since the person in front of them was the prince of Yinguo.
It is said that he led the army to break through Yan Mang's country, and on the way to the west, he also killed Song Yao, the son of Shangzhu State, and personally brought his head to the court to show the empress.
She said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's chirping, "Your Majesty...... You want me to wait for His Highness to change his clothes. β
Chu Xianzhao was no longer the royal prince who needed maids to serve and dress, but he still smiled and washed up briefly under the service of the palace maid.
She gently put on her clothes for herself, and the palace maid blushed and dressed him in his inner clothes, but when her fingertips touched the wounds on Chu Xianzhao's chest, back and back, she inevitably trembled a little, but she just felt touched
Shocking.
With her help, Chu Xianzhao put on this brand-new green shirt, felt that he in front of the bronze mirror had the demeanor of the sword god in the west, and said with a smile: "Sister palace maid, you are too big to be in the palace, take me to your majesty the empress in a while, I have something to say to her." β
The palace maid nodded shyly, not daring to look at his body, which was much more slender than that of ordinary Xilin men.
Now the imperial city is gradually quiet, and the surviving officials watch the former colleagues who drank and have fun with them being beheaded for one crime after another, so everyone knows what to do.
After Song Qinglin's death, a large number of officials who followed him in the past were taken down by Su Changyan, and they were all locked up in prison, waiting to be beheaded or slowly locked up until they died of old age.
The entire officials of the six departments have been purged by such vigorous and resolute means, and now there are more than two hundred positions vacated in the entire Xilin Imperial Court!
It seems that the people I brought are far from enough to fill these positions, but I didn't expect that my trip to the west would involve so many big tigers and small flies in the court of the west.
Chu Xianzhao thought about it, now should be the time when the situation is settled, it is better not to interfere in these matters of the Xilin Imperial Court if his identity is sensitive,
Under the leadership of the palace maid, Chu Xianzhao walked through the palace gates one by one, and finally came to the imperial study, where he saw the diligent young empress reviewing the folds.
Chu Xianzhao was slightly stunned, looked at it silently for a long time, and looked at the expression on Su Changyan's face, inexplicably a little congested.
He thought of the tranquility he left in Shuyue, did she live the same life as Su Changyan?
Chu Xianzhao walked in with a smile, Su Changyan looked up at the handsome face that appeared in front of him, and happily put down the red pen and said, "Your Highness, are you awake?!"
Chu Xianzhao said with a smile: "I came to Xilin too much this time, I forgot to bring you a gift, don't be angry with me." β
"Your Highness is glad to come and see me. β
She stood up and made tea for Chu Xianzhao with her own hands, Chu Xianzhao looked at her busy back, and subconsciously remembered the days when they were in the Eagle Wan.
He sat down at the long table that had been used by the king of Xilin, took the fragrant tea she handed and suddenly said: "The bamboo in the weeping eagle Wanli, I went to see it when I first came home, the pomegranate and the bamboo are not very good at taking care of the two maids, the leaves are yellow, if it withers, it would be a pity." β
"During the Chinese New Year this year, I posted two Spring Festival couplets at the door of the house where you used to live, and by the way, I also asked the bamboo to help you clean it, and the things inside were all dusty, but dirty. β
"My sister also told me that if she had the chance, she would also like to come to Xilin to see it, and no matter what, we grew up together
Yes, she didn't treat you well before, don't blame her for being stingy. β
Chu Xianzhao didn't know what to say, he kept talking to himself, Su Changyan looked at him quietly, and a color like mist rose in his eyes.
"I know that you are very tired to be this Empress of Xilin, and I can also understand the responsibility on your shoulders, because of my arrival, many people died in Xilin, but don't think that those people died because of you Su Changyan, if Xilin wants to be really strong, you need all kinds of fresh blood, many of the old Xilin relics died in that war, and some even if they didn't die, they stayed in Yinguo because of old age and infirmity and couldn't return to Xilin, and now many people in the Xilin court can't be trusted, so there will be all kinds of jumping clowns, you have to be on guard at all times, and you must not let them take advantage of itγ β
Su Changyan looked at the chattering young man, slowly stood up and walked out of the imperial study with him, one in a green shirt with big sleeves, and one in a jade belt robe, the two of them were very good together like a fairy couple.
The two of them walked all the way outside the palace gate, and Chu Xianzhao suddenly put his arm around her waist and jumped up with her on the roof of the majestic palace.
Su Changyan put his arm around him, and the two of them slowly sat down at the corner of the eaves, perhaps the huge palace was the only place where they could feel comfortable.
Chu Xianzhao knew that Su Changyan had sacrificed a lot of things for himself, and he couldn't help but be moved in his heart after not seeing him for a long time.
He suddenly hugged Su Changyan's waist and said softly: "In the future, I won't call you sister young slave, but it's a bit awkward to call Sister Changyan, why don't you call your sister?"
Su Changyan hummed lightly and lowered her head, her face a little hot.
She leaned her body on Chu Xianzhao's body, and sighed softly: "How long have I been back to Xilin, and I learned that you went to Yanmang and Shuyue, which made me worry day and night and couldn't help you, if something really happened to you, what did you mean by letting me live in Xilin?"
"My sister cares so much about me, I really touch. β
Chu Xianzhao gently stroked her soft face, and sighed: "Even if you become the empress of the West, you will be my Chu Zhao's maid in this life, if anyone dares to hurt you, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will kill you." β
Su Changyan smiled and said, "How dare I complain to you, according to His Highness's lawless nature now, what should I do if I will be demolished by the Imperial Court when the time comes?"
Chu Xianzhao hugged her plump and soft delicate body, and whispered in her ear: "I came to Xilin this time not only to see you, but also to go to a place, but to accompany you in the next few days, do you say?"
Su Changyan looked into his eyes and said softly, "Where does Your Highness want to go, do you want me to accompany Your Highness?"
Chu instantly flicked the tip of her delicate nose and said, "As for that place, I don't care about it for now, now accompanying my sister is the most important thing." β
Now she is the empress of the west, and she is also an unmarried woman
, Xilin Palace was in awe of her, no man dared to be disrespectful in front of her, but no one dared to mention the marriage in front of her.
Although Su Changyan is so captivating to the country and the city, she is now twenty years old, and she is an old girl in the homes of ordinary people, and these thoughts really make her extremely depressed.
When she was a child, Chu Xianzhao's occasional joke would make her heart skip a beat, and now she was held in his arms and smelled the smell of him, and the sweetness of that memory suddenly came to her heart.
How many times have she dreamed of being with Chu Xianzhao, but for identity reasons, she has never dared to show her heart to Chu Xianzhao, and now Chu Zhaozhao's bold move made her a little excited in her heart.
Chu Xianzhao looked at her pair of long autumn eyes, and sighed softly: "It's time for my sister to take a break, you and I have paid a lot for our family and ancestors, if my sister is really tired, I can-"
Su Changyan interrupted him and said quietly: "Your Highness, don't think about it, since I'm back, I will naturally die in this city like the first emperor." As much as I would love to meet the pomegranate and bamboo women, I always need to deal with things here, otherwise I will be criticized. But Your Highness is right, one thing after another these days does make me a little tired, and I should take a good rest. β
Of course, Chu Xianzhao understood what she meant, and his lips inevitably moved a little.
He really wanted to tell her about King Xilin, and wanted to tell her in person that your father did not die in Dahong City back then, but went to Lin'an City with you, and has been with you and Su Changqing, but you can't feel each other's existence.
Now she is in her early twenties, and she has no partners and no heirs, which is a cruel thing to her, but a country needs an heir after all.
If his father hadn't helped him make a marriage contract with the Taru country so early, he might have the courage to marry the woman in front of him, and if there really was such a day, the relationship between Yinguo and Xilin would not have been so stiff.
Chu Xianzhao asked a little strangely, "Why did you know about me in Shuyue and Yan Mang, who told you?"
After Su Changyan heard this, her cheeks turned red and she whispered, "Su Nianyu and I have always had correspondence...... At first, I asked someone to bring her a letter and asked her to tell me about you, and she naturally agreed. β
Chu Xianzhao chuckled in his heart and hesitated, "What did you say to her...... Some things are not what you think. β
Su Changyan suddenly remembered something, glared at him, and said with a smile: "I know a lot of things about His Highness, but I have something I want to ask Your Highness, Your Highness must tell me the truth, okay?"
Chu Xianzhao hurriedly agreed: "Okay, okay, whatever you ask me, I will never lie to you, you know." β
She blushed, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "You and Su Nianyu."
She...... Did you sleep?"
Chu Xianzhao almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and said incoherently: "...... Go to bed...... What to sleep on...... Huh?"
Looking at his hasty expression, Su Changyan stretched out his hand and pinched Chu Xianzhao's face, and said with a smile: "Don't lie to me, she told me everything, and you don't just have anything to do with her, right?"
Chu Xianzhao couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, but he felt that his current situation was a little embarrassing, and he was about to explain something, when he heard Su Changyan ask, "Is that General Hua Youyue right...... You like her a lot, what is she like?"
Chu Xianzhao was stunned in his heart, thinking to himself why even Hua Youyue's matter was known to her, but he didn't want to reverse black and white in front of her, maybe he didn't like Hua Youyue as much as he liked her, he just saw that she was too lonely to accompany her occasionally, and the two were together in such a daze.
He thought for a moment before he said: "General Hua saved me many times when she was Yan Mang, if she hadn't been by my side, I'm afraid I would have died on the battlefield long ago, do you like her or not...... I do not know...... I just think she's so lonely...... Thereupon...... Just ......"
Su Changyan shook his head and sighed: "I also know that the female general has a very bad reputation in the Yin Kingdom, but with her military ability, I want to ask Your Highness, can you let her come to the Xilin Imperial Court?"
Chu Xianzhao was stunned again, let Hua Youyue come to the Xilin Imperial Court as an official, you are not afraid that she will demolish your Xilin Imperial Court when she is angry with you?
She has the power of the phoenix qin in her body, and the reason why Shennan City was broken so quickly in the west back then, she was the biggest hero, but it is a pity that she killed too many soldiers of the Yin Kingdom and was pointed out by Qianfu.
Su Changyan sighed again: "As His Highness said, in order to rectify the atmosphere of the Xilin Imperial Court, I killed many people who should not be killed, and the Xilin Imperial Court is now short of manpower to help, I am a female king, and naturally I don't mind having a female general in my Xilin Imperial Court, if she is willing to come, I will personally greet her, Your Highness has been intimate with her, and I don't think about the future of the family, so I just left her in Lin'an City?"
Chu Xianzhao suddenly laughed and said: "You know what kind of character I have, I don't want the girls around me to be too restrained, no matter what other people's homes are like, anyway, our Chu family has never had the habit of hiding women at home." β
The smile on Su Changyan's face slowly receded: "Does Your Highness plan to ignore them?"
Chu Xianzhao thought to herself that since she had asked about such a thing, it was obviously suspicious of her relationship with Hua Youyue.
I don't know if it was that bastard who spread the news about himself and Hua Youyue, and now the entire Lin'an City knows that he has a leg with her.
After his aunt Chu Musk found out, she actually ran to quarrel with her, saying that she was shameless and the old cow ate tender grass to seduce her nephew, if so
If I didn't know that I came in time, maybe the two women would have to fight.
But since Su Changyan had already asked, Chu Xianzhao couldn't hide it.
He sighed softly, "yes...... As I said, she's a lifesaver for me, no matter what...... I won't give up on her, I just hope she can be happy. β
A touching smile appeared on Su Changyan's lips, and he nodded: "Your Highness still takes care of your feelings...... Very good, Your Highness is very good......"
After saying that, she suddenly snorted coldly, tilted her head over and stopped talking, like a jealous little girl.
No matter how thick-skinned Chu Xianzhao was in front of her, his face was still a little hot at this time.
The warm feeling cooled down at this time, and Chu Xianzhao didn't know what to say for a while as if he had done something wrong, and the atmosphere between the two of them was a little awkward.
The two didn't speak, Chu Xianzhao looked at her body a little relaxed, she was wearing a royal robe with a jade belt around her waist and looked from behind, the majesty of the king was covered by the girl's charm after all, the slender waist contour was beautiful, and the round and full ** was tightened by the jade belt, which looked beautiful and tempting.
I grew up in the palace since I was a child, and many female officials and maids have their own merits, and the women who can walk in the palace of Lin'an City are all young women who are talented in appearance, even if they are their two stupid maids. In addition to being proficient in poetry and the music of the flute, bamboo is still a well-known big player in the palace, when Emperor Yin came to see himself, he had to talk to the bamboo hand a few times a few times, and after a fight, they were all five wins and five defeats, and they couldn't see how they competed. As for pomegranates, they are also excellent cooks, and every year the hard dishes at the New Year's banquet in the palace are made by this maid, not to mention the female officials who have the best wrists, and any one of them can attract young men to stop and look back. But Su Changyan is the one with the most special identity, with a gentle temperament and a beautiful personality, there is no one in the palace who doesn't like it, when he was a child, his father jokingly asked him if he wanted to marry her as a princess in the future, and he didn't want to nod his head vigorously, Chu Xianzhao has been very close to her since he was a child, and there is nothing to talk about between the two, even Chu Xun can't care about herself as much as her.
Chu Xianzhao leaned over cheekily and said softly, "Are you angry?"
She was silent, and even felt like crying.
Chu Xianzhao smiled bitterly: "I don't want to be sorry for her, and naturally I don't want to be sorry for you...... Just forgive me this time. β
Her voice was a little louder than before, maybe this was a sign of her anger, and she muttered: "Your Royal Highness is the prince of the world, and her status is noble, and if you become an emperor in the future, you will naturally be able to have a harem group, and it is normal to like one or two more women." β
Chu Xuanzhao was also embarrassed, from the west to the distance of Yinguo, her own little could also let her know clearly.
Su Changyan is occasionally cold on her face, but warm in her heart, but people's hearts are fleshy.
Once you are sad, it will leave a scar.
She dared to ask herself straightforwardly about these things, and her face naturally wouldn't look good.
"What about you? Are you going to be alone all the time?"
Now that she has made her words clear, Chu Xianzhao might as well ask her this question hidden between the two directly.
ps: I suddenly remembered Zeng Peici's song "A Man Thinking of a Man" was used as the title
