Chapter 70 Retreat as Advance
I endured my physical discomfort and knelt down to confess, although I knew that my soft and weak appearance would only annoy the Queen Mother even more, but I had to do it, because only in this way could I attract the emperor's attention more.
Sure enough, before I could kneel down tremblingly, the emperor had already rushed forward to support my body, pulled hard, and I continued to sit down.
"Okay, this matter has nothing to do with you in the first place, and now that your body is still weak, don't continue to toss yourself, just sit well."
I was a little embarrassed, I looked up at him and then turned my head to look at the Queen Mother, although I didn't say anything, but I also expressed my own embarrassment in these few weak movements.
"Since the queen mother has been punished, this matter will be over, after all, the harem is harmonious, and I can govern the world with more peace of mind."
The emperor naturally understood what I meant, but looking at my weak appearance now, he really couldn't bear to let me be subjected to any harsh criticism, so he couldn't help but look up and say to the queen mother.
Although some of the Queen Mother's faces were taken into account in her words, the firmness in her tone was unquestionable, which made the Queen Mother, who was already very angry, even more angry at this time.
But after all, there is no need to fall out with the emperor for me, this is the real big loss because of a small loss, so I just snorted coldly and turned around and led people away.
"That's all for today's feast, you all go back to the dormitory to rest, this matter is over, I don't want to hear any more irrelevant rumors, you better keep your mouths shut."
After the emperor finished speaking, he didn't take into account everyone's feelings, and directly leaned over and picked me up and planned to leave to send me back to the palace, leaving a group of concubines there to grit their teeth secretly.
"Sure enough, the fox is the fox girl, no matter what kind of occasion, she can catch the emperor's heart for the first time, look at the emperor's eyes just now, I'm afraid they are about to stick to her."
Concubine Shu was the first to speak, after all, in addition to the queen here, his identity can make his own remarks on such an occasion.
The other wastes are either too low-grade, or they just don't want to participate in this kind of fight, although their hearts are also sour, but they are not willing to show it on such occasions, after all, the first to speak is always the first bird.
"Okay, Sister Shu, I'm afraid I forgot the emperor's instructions just now, now that the banquet has not been completely opened, you can't control your jealousy?"
Sure enough, as soon as she opened her mouth, she was immediately suppressed by the queen, who has no right and qualification to be jealous as the master of volunteers, and it is her duty to balance the harem.
But this doesn't mean that she can always tolerate Concubine Shu, who is arrogant and domineering on her head, and this time the other party has clearly sent the handle to her hands, how could she not continue?
So he immediately opened his mouth and reprimanded him harshly, after all, this time he took the initiative and the other party must not be able to argue with it, but he didn't expect that the other party had never put himself in his eyes.
"The queen's lesson is that the concubines do not have to control their jealousy, after all, the concubines don't need to pretend to be generous, you are just angry and jealous, this is also the true temperament that the emperor has always admired, isn't it?"
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for the queen's response, and turned around and left directly with his subordinates, the queen was naturally angry and pale, but there was no way to attack.
And this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, in addition to watching the play, the concubines below are also a little panicked, after all, and small fish and shrimp like themselves are the most easily implicated, so they all dare not come out at this time.
"Okay, if there is nothing to do, forget it quickly, it is best to remember Your Majesty's will and control your mouth, otherwise you will anger Your Majesty, and this palace will not be able to protect you."
I was angry with Concubine Shu, and then looked at these warblers and Yanyan in front of me, which was naturally a particularly eye-catching obstruction, so the queen didn't have a good tone for them, just sent everyone away in a few words.
After the emperor left the palace with me, he went all the way back to the Ximei Palace, and seeing that I had been coughing and wheezing, he immediately sent someone to Xuan Taiyi.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is fine, but she was a little panicked just now, and she was in a hurry when she went before, so she coughed slightly, so the emperor shouldn't make a big fuss."
I hurriedly stopped the emperor who wanted to declare the imperial doctor, at this time, if he was to declare the imperial doctor, wouldn't I have lost all my efforts? You have to know this little trick, and you will deceive those people who were present at the time, and if he comes, he will definitely go into trouble immediately.
I saw that he was still a little uneasy, and looked at me with very worried eyes, so he tried to make a look of suppressing his condition.
"Even if the emperor doesn't think about others, you have to think about the concubines, the queen mother just punished the concubines, you turned into the imperial doctor Xuan at this time, didn't you slap her old man's face nakedly? In that case......"
Speaking of this, I hurriedly stopped the next words as if I suddenly reacted that I shouldn't have said these words, but how could the emperor not understand what I wanted to express?
I just looked at my weak appearance and hesitated, but through this time, I was sure that I had entered the emperor's heart, leaving at least some shadows.
"Okay, since you have said this to this point, then I will no longer force you, let your palace people serve you well, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me in time."
After the emperor finished speaking, he sat on the edge of my bed, looking like he was going to guard me, and I couldn't help but feel a little anxious in my heart, this was not the result I wanted.
Although I have promised Prince Guo to get the emperor's favor, it is still difficult for me to let go of my old love for a while, so I am still a little hesitant in the face of the emperor.
So he lay there very weakly on the surface, but in his heart he was constantly thinking about how to deal with the emperor, and the emperor didn't know what he was thinking at this time, and he didn't make a sound, and the palace was silent for a while.
"Little master, the medicine has been decocted, you better drink it while it's hot, it's been a long time to meet the Queen Mother, it's been a long time, it's hot again, and I'll bring it to you."
Just when I was struggling, Qiushui came over with a bowl called Chinese medicine, which was actually just an ordinary tonic soup, and made me breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that I have never felt that this girl has ever been so caring, of course, I still remember that the emperor is still around, and I didn't show too much, but made a look that I didn't want to drink.
"If it could be better, it would have been good a long time ago, why drink bitter medicine juice every day, it doesn't help, it's just a trip out, and now it's like this again, but it makes no difference whether you drink this medicine or not."
Qiushui naturally understood that I was saying this to the emperor, although I couldn't figure out why I did this, but I still chose to cooperate.
"Little master, don't be willful, your condition has not fully recovered, of course you will feel uncomfortable when you toss it suddenly, it has nothing to do with the effect of the medicine, you can only get better early if you drink the medicine on time."
After hearing these words, I couldn't help but pout, making a look of wanting to refuse and welcome, waiting for the emperor next to me to react.
"I haven't found out yet, it turns out that Concubine Ai is still afraid of drinking medicine, it seems that my understanding of Concubine Ai is really not enough, but your girl is right, now it's better to drink the medicine quickly, and take care of your body."
Sure enough, after listening to what I just said, the emperor couldn't help but smile, if weakness will arouse men's desire to protect, then blind weakness will make them a little tired, so the fact is that showing their different personalities in front of them is the most effective way.
Because of the Queen Mother, I have always been in a weak direction today, and showing some childlike character at this time can not only make the emperor feel bright, but also reduce his defensive psychology against me.
"The emperor should stop joking with concubines, drinking these bitter medicines every day makes eating a little tasteless, so naturally he is a little impatient."
I pursed my mouth slightly, making it look like a child can't ask for candy, and sure enough, I amused the emperor again, looking at the other party's expression, I knew that my goal today had been somewhat achieved.
It's just that I can't help but be very bitter in my heart, facing the man I don't love, I want to try my best to compete for favor, but the person I love doesn't know what the future looks like.
I have never had such a great sense of despair in my heart, but in this harem where people eat people and don't spit out bones, how many people can live according to their hearts, all I can do is to persevere as much as possible.
"Okay, I know you've been wronged for a while, but now you still have to drink the medicine obediently, and when your body gets better, what reward do you want for me to satisfy you?"
The emperor seemed to like the combat mood I was in just now, and happily opened his mouth to promise, and it was these words that pulled my distant thoughts back again.
"The concubine doesn't dare to ask for the emperor's reward, just ask the emperor to go back to his palace first, the concubine is weak now, if she stays for a long time and gives the emperor a sick period, it is even more of a responsibility."
I really don't want to be in the same room with him anymore, so I can only use this incident as an excuse to at least hide today, and at the same time, I can use this move to show weakness to the other party again.
After all, there was such a big storm in the main hall today, and everyone is probably paying attention to this place now, if the emperor stays here today, I am afraid that I will be poked by the eyes of the entire harem when I go out tomorrow.
Moreover, although the emperor is still taking care of the face of the Queen Mother on the surface, he has actually done everything possible to protect me and make the Queen Mother unhappy, and if he stays overnight on this cusp, it will only make the Queen Mother more bored with me.
"When you get better, you start to think about driving me out, you're really bold, aren't you afraid that I'll really leave and never come back?"
Hearing me mention the idea of letting him leave again, the emperor seemed to be slightly displeased, because my body is really not very good now, so I didn't log in directly, but the tone was no longer as happy as just now.
Today, even if I have lost all my efforts, on the one hand, I am really not fully prepared, and on the other hand, my situation does not allow such a thing to happen, so I can only continue to dissuade myself.
"If you can, how can the concubines want the emperor to leave? It's just that the situation really doesn't allow it now, not to mention what kind of turmoil will be caused by staying in the emperor by just angering the queen mother now, let's just say that if the emperor's dragon body is affected because of the concubine, then Pingche will also be to blame,"
