372 Choose one of two

As an emperor, it is not easy to say this. Qin Su understood the emperor's difficulties, but she was indignant, why should a woman start from the beginning, but a man can have three wives and four concubines, this is too unfair? The world's requirements for women are too high, she doesn't want to fight for Lin Dongxian, but it should be. You can't just because Zhou Mingmu defeated the Yueli Kingdom and was a hero of the Great Yue Kingdom, so he could take concubines at will.

Even if she takes a concubine, she should discuss it with Lin Dongxian in advance, and she shouldn't rush to stay in a concubine room from the border, if she is Lin Dongxian, she will also be angry. His eyes fell on the emperor, and the emperor, as the son of heaven, also swore when he married Empress Pan that he would be monogamous. But Empress Pan passed away, and the emperor didn't canonize her as a concubine, and even the emperor couldn't do it, let alone ordinary people.

Qin Su sighed faintly and said, "Holy Lord, the concubine just doesn't want to make Dongxian uncomfortable, the matter of the county lord of Yingxiu was originally the county lord's own doing, and he can't complain about others." Zhou Mingmu took the matter of the concubine, and the concubine couldn't control it, but the concubine had a deep relationship with the Dongxian sisters, and hoped that the saint could help find a way to solve the matter. If the saint can solve this matter, the concubine will be grateful. ”

She looked up at the emperor charmingly, which was a look she had never had, and for a while, the emperor was a little stunned, and then muttered, "I try to try it as much as possible." "If the emperor wants to meddle in the household affairs of his courtiers, he must plan first.

The anger in the eyes of the county lord of Yingxiu could burn Zhou Mingmu to ashes, and he slapped the table and said sharply: "Zhou Mingmu, what are you talking about, you actually don't listen to the words of the county lord?" Didn't you just say that you would sincerely apologize to the county lord, is this your attitude? "I vented the anger that I had been holding in my heart for the past few days, and my face was so hideous that people didn't dare to look at it directly. Qinglian lowered her head, making it difficult to see her expression.

"The county lord, please calm his anger, just now Weichen did say that he wanted to apologize to the county lord, but the county lord proposed to ask Weichen to divorce his wife, please forgive Weichen for not being able to do it!" Zhou Mingmu raised his head and looked directly at the county lord of Yingxiu without humility or arrogance, and asked him to take a leave of absence from Lin Dongxian, which was absolutely impossible, although he had only heard gossip about Lin Dongxian from Qinglian's mouth not long ago. But this can't change Lin Dongxian's status in Zhou Mingmu's mind, husband and wife are one, he should believe that Lin Dongxian is.

He knows very well that she will not divorce her wife because of other people's words. The county lord of Yingxiu finally waited for Zhou Mingmu to come back, she was abandoned by Lang Zhongming, and everyone in the capital knew about it, so she didn't dare to go out. sent someone to the palace to replace the post, but the emperor refused to see her. This shows the emperor's attitude, once upon a time she was humiliated like this, and I still remember that the concubine entrusted her to the emperor before her death, so that the emperor could be more tolerant of her and Lang Zhongming and his wife on the thin side of her old man.

This is the emperor's promise, so the county lord of Yingxiu deliberately went to the grave of the concubine to cry, in order to let this matter reach the emperor's ears and change his mind. But who would have thought that the emperor still didn't make any moves. Hearing the news of Zhou Mingmu's return to Beijing, the county lord of Yingxiu couldn't sit still anymore, vented all the evil fire on his body these days, and couldn't spare the culprit Lin Dongxian and let her live happily in the Chengguo Mansion.

She asked Zhou Mingmu to divorce his wife, so that Lin Dongxian could also taste the taste of being abandoned, especially when Lin Dongxian was still pregnant. Zhou Mingmu actually refused to divorce his wife, which was completely unexpected by her. Qinglian raised her head lightly and stared at Zhou Mingmu for a long time, but she didn't see through her, she had mentioned the gossip about Lin Dongxian to Zhou Mingmu a long time ago, but he didn't seem to take it to heart, and he still protected Lin Dongxian in front of the county lord of Yingxiu, refusing to give up.

Qinglian said gently: "County Lord, the concubine thinks that it is better to find out the matter, but she can't wronged a good person." The county lord of Yingxiu swept over with a cold eye, "Hmph, what kind of thing are you, you are also qualified to talk to the county lord." Zhou Mingmu, this is the hospitality of your Chengguo Mansion. The lord of this county is really not worth it for the Chengguo Gong under Jiuquan, how long has he been dead, and you unscrupulous descendants have begun to ruin the reputation of the Chengguo Mansion. These are all things that he worked hard to kill the enemy, but they were destroyed by you! ”

The last thing Zhou Mingmu wanted to believe was the death of Cheng Guogong, he had already thought about it on the road, and when Lin Dongxian gave birth, the couple went out to travel all over the world together, and returned to Qingping Town to see Lin Zhiping and Wu. Leaving the child in the capital for Cheng Guogong to take care of, with the child by his side, he will not feel lonely as an old man. grew up slowly, and when he got older, he could realize the loneliness and helplessness of Cheng Guogong.

When he was young and vigorous, he didn't understand him, and when he came back, he found that it was too late, and Cheng Guogong had already gone. knelt in front of the grave of Duke Cheng for two hours, and Zhou Mingmu reluctantly left. In this way, when he heard the name of the Duke of Chengguo from the mouth of the county lord of Yingxiu, Zhou Mingmu couldn't help clenching his fists and said calmly: "County lord, this is a family matter of the Duke of Chengguo's mansion. ”

The implication of the words is that she doesn't need to meddle in her affairs, and the county lord Yingxiu glanced at it disdainfully, "You think that the county lord is willing to meddle in things, if it weren't for your unscrupulous country woman who ruined the happiness of the county lord, the county lord would have come to the door." Okay, Zhou Mingmu, the county lord doesn't want to listen to you talk nonsense anymore, just one sentence, do you divorce your wife? ”

I don't have time to go around in circles with Zhou Mingmu, so I still go straight to the point. Qinglian stood on the side with red eyes, bowing her head and sobbing. "What are you crying about, didn't the county lord just say two words to you, what's wrong? I don't look at your identity, it's just a concubine, you are not qualified to talk to the county lord, Zhou Mingmu asked you to come out to see the county lord, and the county lord hasn't settled accounts with you yet! The more she listened to Qinglian's sobbing, the more upset and irritable the county lord Yingxiu became, walked quickly in front of her, and raised her hand to slap her with a loud slap.

She still didn't believe it, and a concubine who was brought back by Zhou Mingmu from the border gate dared to be her enemy. Qinglian was stunned by this slap, didn't move for a long time, stood in place in a daze, and fell to her knees with a bang for a while. Looking at Qinglian who was kneeling on the ground, the corners of Lord Yingxiu's mouth hooked up a light smile.

Zhou Mingmu's face sank slightly, and a cold aura came to his face, "County Lord, Weichen respects you as the county lord of the dynasty, but you can't hurt people casually." Although Qinglian is a concubine, she is also Weichen's aunt. "Zhou Mingmu, what if the county lord beats her, Lin Dongxian and she are rude to the county lord, not only do you deal with them to make the county lord angry, but you also blame the county lord, okay, are you relying on you to win the battle, you are the hero of the Great Yue Kingdom, you can be unscrupulous and not take the royal family in your eyes. In your eyes, is the saint just like the lord of this county? ”

The county lord of Yingxiu was confused and began to talk nonsense, if these words were publicized, the emperor might think of Zhou Mingmu, and what would the courtiers say about him? What will the people say about him? Zhou Mingmu didn't care about these false names, but Chengguo Gong cared very much before his death, all the honors of this huge Chengguo Mansion were earned by him bit by bit, and they were exchanged for blood, and they could not be destroyed in his hands.

"Zhou Mingmu, the county lord will ask you one last time, do you divorce your wife? And you, get out of the way for the county lord! Cheap concubine room! The county lord of Yingxiu was yelling at Zhou Mingmu, Qinglian suddenly covered her face and rushed over to protect Zhou Mingmu, and the eyes of the county lord of Yingxiu who were stabbed by this scene hurt. It seems to have a picture of Qingping being intimate in Lang Zhongming's arms in his mind, and the concubines are all fox spirits, and there is no good thing.

Even the maid beside her can be unwilling to be lonely and seduce Lang Zhongming, and Lang Zhongming can't withstand the temptation, men are the same, the crows in the world are as black as black, and the county lord of Yingxiu can see through it. Zhou Mingmu pulled Qinglian by his side with his backhand, how could he, Zhou Mingmu's dignified manhood, hide behind women, he should protect them. Zhou Mingmu seemed to give Qinglian a slightly calm look, and Qinglian slowly put down a heart hanging in the air.

The county lord Yingxiu looked at the two people in front of her, and was even more angry, raised his eyes and looked around, saw a sword on the table, walked over angrily, pulled out a sharp sword, and pointed at Zhou Mingmu: "If you don't divorce your wife, this county lord will take the life of this slut!" "She just wants to see Lin Dongxian in pain, and the more Zhou Mingmu protects Qinglian, the happier she is.

"Husband, it's not a pity that the concubine died, my sister is still pregnant, and my husband can't divorce my sister." Qinglian showed a poignant smile, and raised her head to walk towards the county lord of Yingxiu, "County lord, you are serious, as long as the concubine is dead, you won't force your husband to divorce your sister?" "Lord Yingxiu didn't expect that he would still be the one who begged for death this year, leaving the hope of life to Lin Dongxian.

"Stupid woman!" couldn't help but scolded in a low voice, Qinglian Mo is not a fool, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the county lord of Yingxiu: "It doesn't matter what you said, it's your husband who is in charge, Zhou Mingmu, how about it, have you decided, do you want to divorce Lin Dongxian, or do you want her life?" "Anyway, just don't let Zhou Mingmu be happy, don't rely on the merits on your body to make the county lord of Yingxiu retreat, as the royal county lord, someone has already instilled in her the idea of the prince of heaven and earth, and these courtiers should share the emperor's worries and solve problems, this is a matter of duty.

The emperor treated Zhou Mingmu well, but she didn't need to, and she was not a person above the court. Xin Xia's face was pale: "Xin Dong, what do you say to do now?" Do you want to tell the young lady? "In my heart, I have already scolded the county lord of Yingxiu, this county lord is too rude! Why let Zhou Mingmu choose one of the two, even if she is the lord of the current dynasty, she should know how to advance and retreat, what is the benefit of forcing Zhou Mingmu so much, and reaching the ears of the emperor.

Xin Dong was also embarrassed: "I don't know this anymore." Even if the young lady knows, what can she do? The young lady is still pregnant, and if she moves and lifts up, and hurts her body, no one will have a good time. But if we don't tell the young lady, according to her temperament, I will be angry if we don't tell her. "Oh, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what are we going to do!" Xin Xia was anxious, if Zhou Mingmu really promised the county lord Yingxiu to divorce his wife for the sake of Qinglian's life, it would not be good.

Xin Dong has always been assertive, but she doesn't have a clue at all, things are too idle, and it's not for her to be a maid who can call the shots casually. The emperor coaxed for a long time, and Qin Su showed a reluctant smile, which was very content for him. The emperor hugged Qin Su affectionately into his arms, leaned his head on her neck, smelled the faint fragrance emanating from her body, and couldn't help but close his eyes, the child in his womb seemed to feel calm at the moment.

Fluttering vigorously, the emperor suddenly opened his eyes and said excitedly: "Su'er, the child moved, he kicked me, he kicked me just now." As he spoke, he put Qin Su's hand on the bulging lower abdomen, and the child seemed to be able to feel the emperor's cheerfulness, and he moved again. Qin Su lowered her head and smiled, it was precisely because of the child in her womb that she would resolutely stay in the palace, being a mother is strong, she has to be strong for the child!

"Su'er, I'm going to make an order to canonize Lin Dongxian as a first-class lady, if anyone dares to bully her, I will be the first to refuse!" The emperor took advantage of Qin Su's happiness to deliberately curry favor with her. The corners of Qin Su's mouth rose slightly, and a subtle smile flashed, and she fell gently: "Then the concubine will thank Dong Xian for the saint, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

"You, you're so polite to me!" The emperor affectionately took Qin Su into his arms again, and this time Zhou Ming and Mu returned to Beijing in triumph, and Zhou Qing also stayed at the border to discuss peace talks with Yueli State. Zhou Mingmu originally wanted to wait for him to come back together, but he wanted to show his strength in front of the emperor and courtiers, so he ordered Zhou Mingmu to lead the troops back to Beijing! Zhou Mingmu had already sent a book to the emperor before returning to Beijing, waiting for his reply, but the emperor didn't say anything about it, that is, he acquiesced in Zhou Qingyi's approach.

Only then did Zhou Mingmu calmly lead the troops back to Beijing and leave Zhou Qing at the border. Qin Su also wondered that Zhou Qing also swore to play the emperor in the court, and wanted to lead the troops to the Yueli border to appease the soldiers and boost morale. Unexpectedly, Zhou Mingmu came back, but he remained at the border, although she was puzzled, she did not ask the emperor why. The harem is not allowed to interfere in the government, she has always remembered this.

The emperor was very fond of her, and he could drop her from the clouds into the cloud in the next second. As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, she has served by Empress Pan's side for many years, and she has long known the emperor's temperament. In front of Empress Pan, the emperor disguised herself very well, but in a blink of an eye, he regained his true nature, otherwise he would not have started to hook her when Empress Pan was still alive.

Recalling these past events in his mind, he remained silent, snuggling in the emperor's arms. The most worried thing is actually Jiang Feilong, the emperor sent him out for many days, and he hasn't seen him come back, what is going out to do, Wang Shou hasn't found out the slightest news these days. The more quiet it was in the capital, the more frightened she felt, and the calm before the storm was the most unsettling.

The peace in the dormitory was broken by Manager Chang, and the emperor let go of Qin Su, patted the back of her hand and said, "I will come to accompany you and the child again in the evening." Qin Su watched him leave with a smile, and when the chief manager saw the emperor coming out, he hurriedly muttered a few words in his ear, and the emperor's face became gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "You go out of the palace quickly, go to the Chengguo Mansion, pass on my message, and immediately let Yingxiu enter the palace to meet you!" ”

The county lord of Yingxiu is too bold, Zhou Mingmu is back, she actually went to the door, and there is no royal county lord!
