Qixiang Palace, the emperor sat in front of the desk, the table was full of folds, he was reading, and from time to time he glanced at the concubine beside him, the concubine was holding the book, looking at it with relish, not caring about the emperor's gaze.

After a few glances in succession, the emperor didn't get a response, put the fold in his hand on the table, and said a little angrily: "Concubine Ai, why don't you look at me, don't you think I don't exist." ”

Concubine Shu was originally looking at it, the emperor's action startled her, she put down the book in her hand, and said angrily: "The emperor should not be childish, you are reviewing the folds, dealing with national affairs, how dare the concubines disturb it." ”

When the emperor heard this, his face softened slightly, and he directly reached out and pulled her into his arms, close to her neck and inhaled the fragrance on her body, only feeling extremely satisfied, but he didn't find the disgust in Concubine Shu's eyes.

After a while, Concubine Shu patted the emperor's shoulder and said softly: "The emperor has been busy for so long, it's time to rest, the concubine goes to the small kitchen to take a look, and let people prepare some of the emperor's favorite meals?" ”

The emperor sighed with satisfaction, let go of Concubine Shu, and said in a low voice: "Don't be busy with this yet, I heard that Kangping girl went to the imperial tomb, what do you think?" The emperor played with her fingers as if unintentionally.

Although Concubine Shu hated such temptations, she also knew how to face them calmly, and said softly: "That child should go to worship her parents, this is her filial piety, if she doesn't look at it, won't the emperor think she is ruthless?" ”

The emperor smiled indifferently, hugged her tightly, and asked seriously, "Do you hate me?" After all, it was I who asked you to leave your own daughter, so that she grew up without a mother to take care of her, and grew up in the hands of her mother. ”

There was temptation and sarcasm in his words, Concubine Shu's face did not change, she seemed to be used to him talking like this, and said very calmly: "This is the child's life is not good, there is a mother and no mother to raise, I have little love with her mother and daughter, besides, the emperor also agreed to the concubine, and the concubine will take care of her as an aunt in the future, and the child The emperor also knows, looking strong, but in fact, his heart is weak." ”

Even if there are a lot of things in between, the emperor can't say that Wei Baofu is not good with a clear conscience, she does advance and retreat to a certain extent, and her elegance is peerless, as if all the advantages of her parents have grown on her body, and the emperor can't disgust it from the bottom of his heart.

"You, in the final analysis, I still owe your mother and daughter, so that you can't recognize each other, and when she comes back, you can comfort and appease her, as long as she doesn't mess around with the queen mother, I am still willing to spoil her, and there is nothing wrong with raising an extra daughter."

There are some truths and some falsehoods in these words, Concubine Shu knew clearly in her heart, she smiled charmingly and affectionately, "Look at what the emperor said, you are Kangping's uncle, I am her aunt, aren't we just like her parents, we don't love her, who will love her, don't say stupid things." ”

She behaved like a little woman who was completely dependent on and trusted her husband, the emperor hugged her, and felt that she was the most ordinary husband, there was no emperor and no concubine, they were the couple who loved each other the most.

The emperor longs for such feelings, and at this moment, he feels that he has gotten it, and so far, only Concubine Shu can make him feel like this.

After appeasing the emperor, Concubine Shu walked out of the study slowly, although she had a smile on her face, Qi Zhen saw the coldness in her eyes, "Let's go to the small kitchen and take a look, what fresh ingredients are there today?" ”

Qi Zhen glanced at the palace people around him without a trace, and said with a smile: "Some good sheep and scorpions were sent from the imperial dining room, saying that it was just right to eat this day." Concubine Shu nodded, "Let's go with the palace to have a look." ”

The master and servant sang and talked nonsense in harmony, and when there was no one around, Qi Zhen whispered: "There is news from the imperial mausoleum, saying that Rulan and the county lord have been alone in the house for more than an hour, and the county lord came out with red eyes. ”

Concubine Shu sighed, "That child is too smart, she still knows it in the end, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, my sister just wants her to grow up safely." "The concubine at this moment is real, and there is deep worry in her eyes.

Qi Zhen quietly comforted: "Niangniang, the county lord is not the kind of girl who has no success, she should also know your pain, you can't bear it all the time, the slave maid heard that the county lord has a lot of money in his hand, she knows the truth, and she can help the four princes more in the future, which is a good thing." ”

Concubine Shu turned around and slapped her, and reprimanded her in a low voice: "It's not your turn to say such words, my sister and I just want Baofu to live an ordinary and happy life, and we have never had the intention of letting her take risks, what qualifications do you have to say such things, if you do this in the future, this palace will never spare you, you should know the means of this palace." ”

Qi Zhen knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and whispered for mercy: "Niangniang forgives her sins, it is all the slave and maid who have no mouth, and the slave and maid have no second thoughts, and they also think that Niangniang and the four princes can be more relaxed." ”

Concubine Shusen looked at her coldly, and said disdainfully: "This is the second time, if you are disrespectful to Kang Ping again and think about calculating her, this palace will directly ask for your life, Rulan is very suitable to replace you, this palace is not used to it." ”

These words made Qi Zhen tremble on her knees, she knew everything, if she couldn't serve by her master's side, she was afraid that she wouldn't survive, "The slave remembers, she won't dare to do it again, thank the master for sparing her life." ”

Concubine Shu turned around and left, and didn't look at her, Concubine Shu's heart was very small, she could only pretend to be her own relatives, a subordinate, she could reuse trust, and she could also give her rights, but she would not give her the opportunity to kick her nose in the face.

Wei Baofu returned to the hot spring Zhuangzi, and fell ill that night, perhaps because he was stimulated too much, or maybe he had not rested well recently, in short, this illness was a bit menacing, this hot spring Zhuangzi did not accompany the imperial doctor, and Pearl Linglong was about to cry.

Looking at the pale Wei Baofu, she shouted her father and mother from time to time, the two of them were distressed, and Pearl said anxiously: "What can I do, the county lord is so sick now, if there is no doctor, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive." ”

Linglong didn't know, she forced herself to calm down: "I remember that the queen mother had a high fever at that time, and the county lord used soju to wipe her body to reduce the fever, you first instructed the girls and mothers-in-law to prepare, wipe it for the county lord, I will look for it nearby to see if there is a doctor there." ”

Ye Feng has been guarding the door, and when he saw that Linglong was going out to find a doctor, he wanted to go with him, but Linglong refused: "Ye Guard, it is safest for you to guard the county lord, we can't put the cart before the horse, I have no problem going out alone." ”

Ye Feng understood what she meant, after all, this villa was not all guarded by their people, if there was an accident, Ye Feng was still needed to guard, he was not reluctant, turned around and returned to the door to guard.

On the other side, the pearl listened to Linglong's words, as if she had a backbone, and immediately took action.

Although there are a few Zhuangzi around, in the end, the masters do not come often, and the probability of having a doctor is extremely low, and Linglong knocked on three or four doors in a row without a doctor.

"What should I do, the county lord can't have anything." Calm as exquisite, she couldn't help crying anxiously, she was about to go back to Zhuangzi to guard her county lord, but suddenly heard a sound of horses' hooves, subconsciously stopped, and quickly ran to hide behind the big tree on the side of the road.

Rong Yanzong rode on a horse, galloping all the way, he was dusty, but there was no trace of fatigue on his face, the people who marched and fought, the eyes were the most vicious, although Linglong hid behind the big tree, but Rong Yanzong still saw it.

He grabbed the reins, slowed down, and asked sharply, "Who is sneaking around hiding here?" The military doctor Xiao Zhan and Shanzhu who followed him also stopped their horses and looked around.

When Linglong heard the question, she subconsciously looked up at the man, although she was a little embarrassed, but after seeing his face clearly, she still took the initiative to walk out.

He made a blessing in a proper manner, and explained: "The slave and maid are the maids of the Fuye Villa in front, and my master has suffered from the wind and cold, and the high fever does not go away, so he went out to find the doctor, and if there is a collision, please atone for the sins of the adult." ”

Linglong has also seen the world, although he doesn't know the identities of several people, but he saw that the robes and accessories on his body were not ordinary, and officials without grade were not qualified to wear them, so he opened his mouth to explain.

Although Rong Yanzong is not a kind person, he is not a cold-hearted person who does not save death, he also has a Zhuangzi here, although he heard that the lord of Kangping came here, he didn't think much about it, after all, even if he came, people would not let him see it easily.

In the evening, the military doctor Xiao Zhan came to the door, wanting him to help find a clean place to dispense medicine, Rong Yanzong was ambushed in the previous war, although he narrowly won, but he was also highly poisonous, fortunately, the military doctor Xiao Zhan's medical skills are clever, and now the toxin is removed, there is only this last bit of residual poison, and a special medicine is needed to clean it up, and it is not easy to find the medicine lead, thinking about relieving the future trouble as soon as possible, and the group came to the hot spring villa overnight.

Rong Yanzong said lightly: "If you don't worry, this military doctor next to me can go to consult." Xiao Zhan frowned unhappily and muttered, "Don't you even need to ask my opinion?" Just make a decision for me? I'm not your pillar. ”

Rong Yanzong didn't pay attention to him, and looked directly at Linglong, he didn't know at this moment that Linglong was the maid of the county lord of Kangping.

Linglong said excitedly: "Thank you, my lord, my master is in the villa, please go in with me." ”

Rong Yanzong did not delay, and followed Linglong to the villa, Xiao Zhan dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he had to follow obediently, and Shanzhu hurriedly said: "Master, why don't you take the horse back to our own Zhuangzi to settle down first, and tell the mother-in-law to prepare some wine and food, how about it?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, this kid is still sensible, I haven't eaten yet, and my stomach is screaming." Rong Yanzong nodded in agreement, handed the reins in his hand to the mountain pillar, Linglong was a little uncomfortable on the side, after all, she was the one who troubled others, thinking that she would entertain them well for a while.
