They spent months here, tireless in their daily lives.

One day, Li Xiuye heard the news outside and loosened a lot, Li Xiuye knew that his opportunity had finally come, and in the dead of night, he gently shook Qu Xiaonan who was asleep.

Qu Xiaonan looked at Li Xiuye sleepily and asked, "What's wrong?" “

"Xiao Nan, early tomorrow morning, someone will come to pick you up and go to a place, you follow it to hide for a while, my chance has come, I want to turn the tables against the wind, wait for me to pick you up." Li Xiuye said to her gently.

Qu Xiaonan didn't know why, but felt inexplicable: "What are you going to do?" How long are you going? Where are you going to send me? ”

Li Xiuye gently stroked Qu Xiaonan's hair and said, "I'll tell you these things later, I can't say it now, but don't worry, I will definitely come back to you, you wait here obediently, early tomorrow morning, just obediently go with the people I sent." ”

Qu Xiaonan still didn't feel at ease, but seeing Li Xiuye's serious expression, he had to agree: "Okay, but you also have to take care of yourself." “

He quietly looked inside the room and left without any abnormality, but Qu Xiaonan always felt that Li Xiuye seemed to have something to hide from him.

——

Early the next morning, sure enough, a few plainclothes guards came to pick him up, and from their mouths, Qu Xiaonan couldn't ask anything.

"I want to ask, where are you taking me?" Qu Xiaonan asked cautiously.

"Madam, the general said, let you go to the countryside with us for a while, and after this period of rumors, he will naturally take you back, and the general is also thinking about your safety." The guard said.

Qu Xiaonan nodded and didn't speak, since the guards refused to say, she didn't force it.

The sound of horses' hooves faded away, and Qu Xiaonan was taken to the countryside to hide.

The air in the countryside is very fresh, Qu Xiaonan feels very comfortable, she sits in the courtyard basking in the sun, and sees the children in the countryside chasing and playing, she yearns for it, it would be nice if she and Li Xiuye also had such a cute child.

Qu Xiaonan is taken care of very well every day, eating and drinking, and it can be regarded as happiness, but he can't wait for Li Xiuye's news.

In a flash, more than three months passed.

No matter what she thought, she didn't expect Li Xiuye to leave like this, he could walk for three months, and there was no news, and even his guards didn't know where she was.

Qu Xiaonan was anxious, but she couldn't leave rashly, so she had to continue to stay in the countryside and wait patiently.

She didn't dare to go out at will, she only hoped that Li Xiuye would pick her up as soon as possible.

In the early morning of this day, Qu Xiaonan had just woken up, and suddenly felt that someone was knocking on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was two fathers-in-law wearing court clothes.

The father-in-law smiled and said, "The old slave came to pick up the mother back to the capital. “

Qu Xiaonan was stunned, the emperor said? Empress?

"This father-in-law, what happened in the capital? I'm just Li Xiuye's wife! It's not a mother. Qu Xiaonan asked suspiciously.

"Niangniang, you don't have to know this, you just need to do what the emperor instructs, the old slave just takes you back, as for what happened in the capital, the old slave is inconvenient to talk to Niangniang without permission." The father-in-law said.

Seeing this, Qu Xiaonan felt more and more strange in her heart, she didn't understand why these fathers-in-law refused to tell her the reason, could it be that there was a big change in the capital?

Qu Xiaonan thought about it for a long time, but she didn't come up with a reason, so she followed her father-in-law back to the palace.

Along the way, Qu Xiaonan was also worried, until after returning to the capital, these two fathers-in-law actually pulled themselves to the palace, just when she was completely confused, she only saw someone worshipping Li Xiuye.

"Ministers, see the emperor." The ministers saluted one after another.

I saw the ministers kneeling on the ground, one by one with their eyebrows lowered and their heads lowered, looking sincerely frightened.

Li Xiuye slowly approached everyone: "All the secretaries are flat." ”

Qu Xiaonan was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand on his feet, what happened in the past three months? Why did Li Xiuye become the emperor? Where did the old emperor go?

Qu Xiaonan's mind was full of questions, she secretly looked at Li Xiuye, only to see that he still had a cold expression, and he couldn't see joy, anger and sorrow, but he was tall and straight, with a handsome face and a slender figure, exuding the aura of a noble king.

There is even an extra woman around, Qu Xiaonan has been married to him for so long, and he has never seen this woman.

The woman was wearing a plain long dress, her face was dignified and elegant, her expression was indifferent, but she was gentle like water holding Li Xiuye's arm, which looked very matched.

Qu Xiaonan watched Li Xiuye be intimate with other women as if no one was around, his heart was sour, and a resentment welled up in his heart.

The two fathers-in-law knelt in front of Li Xiuye and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Qu Niangniang has arrived." ”

When Li Xiuye heard this, he frowned slightly, but quickly returned to normal: "Well, please invite Concubine Qu to enter the palace to see you." “

Qu Xiaonan followed the two fathers-in-law into the palace in confusion and timidity, and as soon as she entered the palace, she felt a strange gaze, and everyone looked at her with a strange look along the way.

Qu Xiaonan couldn't understand what was going on for a while, but she vaguely felt that something was wrong, so she quickened her pace and followed her father-in-law.

After she entered the main hall, Li Xiuye saw her embarrassment, walked down the steps slowly, helped Qu Xiaonan up, and comforted softly: "Xiaonan, don't be afraid, this will be your home from now on." ”

The woman behind Li Xiuye saw Qu Xiaonan, and immediately showed a smile, and walked over to hold Qu Xiaonan's hand.

"Your name is Xiao Nan, right? What a nice name. The woman smiled gently and kindly, Qu Xiaonan felt very kind for a moment, and a trace of warmth suddenly rose in her heart.

"Hello." Qu Xiaonan also laughed.

"How are you in the country these days?" The woman asked with a caring and gentle tone.

"It's okay......" Qu Xiaonan didn't know who this woman was, but whatever she asked, she said nothing.

"My sister looks so thin, and the willow has a thin waist, she must have not eaten well in the countryside." The woman smiled gently.

Qu Xiaonan's smile was a little unnatural.

"By the way, Xiu Ye didn't introduce me to you, Xiu Ye and I met on the battlefield many years ago, and he saved me a homeless weak woman on the battlefield.

A few years ago, because the enemy knew that I was very important to Xiu Ye, I was taken hostage and went to their place, Xiu Ye has thought I was dead for so many years, but in fact, I still survived.

This time, Xiu Ye fought in order to save me, so he fought this battle regardless of his life, not only the order of the first emperor, but also Xiu Ye's heart to save me. The woman's words are sincere, it seems that she and Li Xiuye are old acquaintances.

Qu Xiaonan also had mixed feelings in his heart after hearing this, it turned out that they used to be a couple.

"My name is Zhao Qingshuang, sister, we will all be sisters in the future, and we will support each other in the harem in the future." Zhao Qingshuang's smile was pure and flawless.

Seeing this, Qu Xiaonan didn't know to refuse, she nodded lightly.

Li Xiuye didn't know how to explain to Qu Xiaonan, so he had to say: "Xiaonan, I really like you, but Shuang'er has been held hostage by the enemy for several years, her body has been weathered, and she can't eat enough and wear no warmth, I want to make up for her in the future, and I hope you can live in harmony in the future." ”

Li Xiuye really likes Qu Xiaonan, and sincerely hopes that Qu Xiaonan can accept Zhao Qingshuang's existence.
