Chapter 21: Helplessness

To put it bluntly, the intrigues in this harem, who lives or dies, or the heirs who can be born for him, don't care too much about him. As a last resort, he will tolerate it and never give up.

What's more, this bureau has his involvement.

Xin Wei naturally couldn't say these words, so she could only bury them deep in her stomach.

"Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en," Xin Wei fed another mouthful of porridge and said in a low voice, "Fortunately, there is the eldest princess." ”

Liu Qingshu echoed: "Yes, fortunately, there is the eldest princess, if there is no eldest princess, I am afraid that I would have died in the guillotine." Another day, when my leg is healed, I have to go and thank the eldest princess in person. ”

After a pause, Liu Qingshu said again: "Could it be that Chu Ying went to ask the eldest princess for me?" ”

Xin Wei frowned almost invisibly: "Maybe...... Maybe it's just that the eldest princess is kind-hearted, righteous, and can't see grievances. ”

"The eldest princess has never asked about the palace, but now she frequently appears in the harem, protects Chu Ying, and cares about our bad things...... It must be for Chu Ying. Liu Qingshu said very firmly.

Xin Wei didn't know what to say.

"Why don't you go and ask Chu Ying?"

Liu Qingshu nodded: "Ask her another day." ”

"I must ask."

"Okay, you must ask," Liu Qingshu nodded again, full of interest, and lowered her voice: "Do you know about the eldest princess?" ”

"What?"

Xin Wei put down the few bowls she had left, and moved her ass closer to her.

"The eldest princess, she originally went to Xisheng Kingdom and relatives, but she killed her husband for some reason," Liu Qingshu spoke like a thief, and the light in her eyes shone, "That's the monarch of Xisheng Kingdom, she killed the monarch, not only can she retreat with her whole body, but also make the new monarch give a promise not to invade Daxia for decades, the eldest princess is really powerful, unprecedented!" ”

Her words come from the bottom of her heart and I truly admire her.

The corners of Xin Wei's mouth raised: "That's nature." ”

Liu Qingshu envied and sighed: "Chu Ying is really a good life, with the protection of the eldest princess, unlike us, who are like duckweed, don't talk about honor and disgrace, even your life may be taken away at any time." ”

Xin Wei opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

"I really didn't expect Chu Ying to save me," Liu Qingshuxing's eyes flashed with tears, and she said: "Today, you and her came out to testify for me, I can't believe that she is such a timid girl, who is usually afraid of even small insects, but she is not even afraid of death." And you, Weiwei, I misunderstood you before, and I spoke to you a little too much, it's mine, it's not mine. ”

Xin Wei chuckled: "Don't say these hypocritical words, so I don't know what to say." ”

"Okay, okay, don't say it," Liu Qingshu smiled faintly, and after a while, her eyes condensed slightly, "I suddenly feel that it is not bad to have the power to govern the harem." ”

She used to be the least rare to fight for power or jealousy.

But this experience finally made her understand that powerful people can do evil, such as the queen.

It can also save people's lives, such as the eldest princess.

It turns out that many times, you have to go forward, you can't go back, and taking a step back is an abyss.

Without power, it is absolutely impossible.

-

At the beginning of the unitary period, Xin Wei had just left Weiyang Palace and met the emperor who came to visit Concubine Liu.

Xin Wei bowed respectfully.

Shen Xiao paused in front of her for a moment and asked, "Have you had dinner?" ”

"I used it."

"Then stay in Weiyang Palace for dinner," Shen Xiao didn't seem to hear her answer, and took the meaning as the way, "Concubine Liu's cook is from Lin'an, and she is very famous in Lin'an. ”

"Yes."

Xin Wei lowered her eyebrows, obedient.

She couldn't see the emperor's expression, only saw his feet wearing dark gold embroidered dragon pattern boots, as if welded to the ground, stood in front of him for a long time, and only took a step towards Weiyang Palace.

Xin Wei felt a little helpless in her heart.

I just had dinner in Weiyang Palace, and I have already experienced the craftsmanship of Lin'an famous chefs. It's just that those celebrity chefs have just made a big table, and now I'm afraid that the dishes haven't been washed yet, and they have to be on the stove again.

Shen Xiao ordered his father-in-law to explain a few words to the cook, and then went to the dormitory to visit Liu Qingshu first.

Xin Wei stopped at the door of the dormitory, but Shen Xiao said, "Let's go in together." ”

When the saint arrived, Liu Qingshu wanted to get out of bed and salute, Shen Xiao said softly: "Don't toss, you are injured, just lie down and recuperate, you don't have to salute." ”

So Liu Qingshu sat on the bed, bowed slightly, and said coldly: "Why doesn't the emperor go to the queen, the queen has been wronged today, and the emperor should appease him." ”

Shen Xiao was stunned, and Xin Wei was even more shocked, squeezing her eyebrows at her in the back.

After suffering such a big crime, how could she still endure it?

Liu Qingshu ignored it, and her tone was cold.

"The concubine is injured, and she can't serve the emperor recently, so it's been in vain for the emperor to go."

Shen Xiao said in his heart, is he a breeding pig in the eyes of others, so impatient to serve an injured person?

When did he become such a beast?

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth frowned slightly, and he said quietly: "It's okay, I'm here to see you, you're suffering." ”

"Emperor Xie is compassionate."

said thanks, but there was no gratitude on her face, cold and indifferent, so that her voice seemed perfunctory and sarcastic.

Shen Xiao sat down on the edge of her bed, Wen Xu looked at her, and said lightly: "Before the queen was poisoned, you sent someone outside the palace to check the poison of oleander. ”

Liu Qingshu's expression froze and raised her head.

Shen Xiao continued: "You used an antidote for yourself, but the queen's spoon was smeared with something, and this thing was a hook kiss, which can make the poison of oleander more intense. The queen died nine times in her life, and it was just a fluke that she survived. ”

Liu Qingshu couldn't help but grasp the silk quilt in her hand, looked at the emperor in panic, then at Xin Wei behind him, and then at the empty dormitory behind them.

Shen Xiao said: "People are all branched, you don't have to worry too much, I have never thought of punishing you." ”

Liu Qingshu's arrogance disappeared, she bit her white lip, and said in a dumb voice: "The queen forced the concubines to do unrighteous things, and the concubines did not want to be treated as people for the rest of their lives, so they had the intention of harming others. ”

She went out to Bo once, and she also expected two endings.

One is that the queen died, and the other is that the queen is lucky to be alive, which also proves that she said that this poison will not die.

In any case, the poison was not given by her, she has never had oleander in or out of Weiyang Palace, she is innocent, and there are always clues to find Concubine Hui.

"Among the rights and wrongs of Jinling City, there are many helpless moves, and I have experienced it."

Shen Xiao took his gaze away from her face and cast it on the dark and dim corner of the wall, his tone gradually lowered, "I have done many things as a last resort. ”

Liu Qingshu pondered his words carefully, and thought about it, there were many unknown bitterness and sufferings on his path to the emperor, so that now he can look down on it and tolerate it.

"The emperor is now the lord of the world, and there will be no last resort."

Shen Xiao smiled bitterly: "Yes." ”
