Chapter 403: The confrontation between the emperor and the virtuous concubine
The woman on the bed saw them cast her gaze, and the woman narrowed her eyes, and then slowly saw the man's appearance.
"Your Majesty?" Concubine Xian said softly.
Her voice was a little lacking in qi, and her qi and blood were deficient.
Jun Huaiyu walked to the side of the bed, staring at the woman on the bed with black eyes, although the woman's face was a little old, but she could still vaguely see her beauty when she was young, but unfortunately her cheeks were sunken and slightly thin, which showed that she was not usually doing well.
Concubine Xian saw Jun Huaiyu struggling to get up and wanted to sit up, Jun Huaiyu saw that she was a little struggling, and gave Liu Jinzhong a look, Liu Jinzhong immediately stepped forward to help Concubine Xian sit up.
"Your Majesty, why did you think of me today, an old man?" Concubine Xian said.
He didn't open his mouth to salute, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was questioning, but he had a temper with Jun Zhirou, worthy of being a mother and daughter.
Jun Huaiyu opened his mouth and said: "I haven't seen you for many days, why is Concubine Xian so thin?" But the people in this palace are not well taken care of? ”
Concubine Xian's eyes showed a mocking sneer, "I don't even have a living person in this palace, so why can't I take good care of it?" Your Majesty is really joking. ”
"The concubine's temper is still the same as always, Zhirou is exactly the same as you, it really makes me love and hate." Jun Huaiyu said slowly.
Hearing this, the expression on Concubine Xian's face became a little serious, and she asked, "What mistake did Zhirou make again?" Provoke His Majesty to come to see the palace in person? ”
Jun Huaiyu smiled on his face, and said lightly: "It's nothing, but I executed Old Madam Xiao, and she couldn't get angry with me." ”
As soon as she heard this, Concubine Xian's cheeks flushed, and she coughed several times in a row, "Ahem, cough, cough!" ”
"Are you alright, Lady Toi? Don't get excited, hurt your body. Liu Jinzhong said with concern on the side.
Concubine Xian didn't bother to pay attention to him, staring at Jun Huaiyu's face with her eyes, looking into those bottomless black eyes, her chest constantly rising and falling.
When she gradually calmed down, she spoke: "Your Majesty, can't you even tolerate an old man?" The Xiao family has been in the army for generations, how much credit has they made for Chengqi? Now that there is only one old lady left in the Xiao family, dare to ask the old lady what mistake she made, and His Majesty wants to execute her? ”
Jun Huaiyu's face became solemn, and a pair of black eyes looked at Concubine Xian with a smile, and said casually: "The concubine really cares about Old Madam Xiao!" I remember that Concubine Xian didn't seem to have a deep friendship with Old Madam Xiao, and Zhirou was so angry, I understood, but Concubine was also so concerned, I didn't understand it a little. ”
Concubine Xian's eyes sank, and she said lightly: "Then Your Majesty specially came to the palace to tell the palace what does Old Lady Xiao mean?" ”
Jun Huaiyu said with a smile: "The concubine is too careful, what can I mean, but Zhirou, this girl is too nonsense, she always refuses to agree to me to go to the family, and she has to stay alive and widowed for the dead man, you say how distressed I am to be a brother, and I am kind enough to find a good family for her, but she doesn't understand me, misunderstand me, I am really sad, and I have nowhere to tell, so I have to come and chat with the concubine." ”
Concubine Xian's eyes grew cold, and she said coldly: "Your Majesty wants this palace to persuade Zhirou for you?" Your Majesty seems to have forgotten, so she can only not even care much about the biological mother of this palace, how can this palace persuade her? ”
"Yes, I didn't expect that the refusal to marry back then would make Zhirou remember it to this day, and she still hates you now, and she almost doesn't even want to come to see you, which is really embarrassing."
"I don't understand, Zhirou and he have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, the two are in love, they are a pair made in heaven, he and Zhirou are married to Chengqi, and there is no harm in one of them, but you don't agree with their family affairs, it's really incomprehensible!"
Concubine Xian's face was calm, and she replied: "Your Majesty is wrong, General Xiao has no love for Zhirou, even the emperor has dispelled the idea of marrying the two of them, General Xiao is even more reluctant, Zhirou is my only daughter, I just want her to marry a man who loves her and loves her, the two are not compatible but secondary, General Xiao obviously has no intention of Zhirou, and has repeatedly refused to marry, and the twisted melon is not sweet, so the palace is not willing to marry his baby daughter to a man who does not love her." ”
Jun Huaiyu's eyes were gloomy, and he seemed to smile: "Is this really the case?" According to what the concubine said, the concubine is all for Zhirou's good, but how can I see that Zhirou is not happy at all, is this what the concubine wants to see? ”
"I have long seen that Zhirou has a deep affection for him, I don't want my sister to be sad, so I pointed out the marriage for the two of them, if this marriage is completed, how happy Zhirou should be! I don't hate you so much, don't you say? ”
Concubine Xian's face was as usual, and she said slowly: "Zhirou she doesn't understand me, this palace doesn't care, love or hate, as long as everything is fine, this palace will rest assured, since she is unwilling to kiss, this palace will not persuade her for Your Majesty, please let Your Majesty die of this heart!" ”
"Zhirou is worthy of being born to the concubine, this temper is really the same stubborn, I didn't say to let the concubine persuade her for me, he didn't even care if I threatened her with your life or death, how could I expect the concubine to persuade her?"
Hearing this, Concubine Xian's heart hurt as if she had been pricked by a needle, but she still endured it and didn't let Jun Huaiyu see anything abnormal.
"Your Majesty has seen it, you should rest assured, right? Presumably, Your Majesty still has a lot of twists and turns to review, so don't waste your mind on this palace. ”
"Don't worry, Concubine Xian, it's rare for me to come and see you, isn't it good to talk to me more? There's no place in this palace where I can talk freely, and I really want to take you here for a while. Jun Huaiyu said reluctantly.
"Your Majesty can stay if you want to, this palace is a little tired, I'm afraid I can't chat with Your Majesty." Concubine Xian lay down again, looking like she didn't want to say more and drove people away.
Jun Huaiyu didn't mind, and continued to speak: "Actually, I really regret it, if Cheng Qi is restless and worried, if he is here, I guess Cheng Qi will not be like this, I really regret sending him to the front line." ”
"I don't understand, he is obviously so good to Zhirou, I have to think that they are happy with each other, if not, this will not be married to them in public, but it is a pity that he is too ignorant, he has to refute my face in public, refuse this family business, and even say that the war is not over, dare not Qi family, how can I not follow his wishes? I really didn't expect that he would rather go to the battlefield and fight to the death with the enemy than marry Zhirou and have some peaceful life with her. ”
"What the hell do you think he thinks? This question has really puzzled me for years. ”
