Chapter 7: She's Young
The warm orange light reflected Chu Tongshang's side face, overlapping with the person in her memory.
But the temperature of this candlelight and the shadow of the fire made Xie Shu's face pale.
Her voice was harsh and cold.
"The slave doesn't dare to be delusional, but she's afraid of fire."
Chu Tongshang stared at her and interrupted her.
"You think the king cares about you?"
Xie Shu opened her mouth, unable to say a word, her face was even more pale, and the finger prints were even more distinct.
The man's faint voice sounded again.
"The king is here to tell you."
"In a few days, the king of Japan will take the year into the palace to thank him, the year has never been liked by the queen, these days you copy a Buddhist scripture for the year, dedicated to the queen, help the queen to get the queen's love."
When the words fell sentence by sentence, Xie Shu was still weak and gasping, afraid of the candlestick.
She knew her chance had come.
Regardless of whether Gu Suisui really didn't know it, but her left leg couldn't get better, and she wanted to get it back from them!
"I see." Xie Shu raised her eyes and asked slowly, "If this matter is done, can the slave maid see the Xie family?" β
Not long after her nephew was born, she hadn't even seen it, and she didn't know that on days like the cold courtyard, her sister-in-law had just given birth, she was not in good health, could she survive?
"Are you talking to this king about conditions?" He glanced at her, and said this with no emotion.
Look at her eyes as if she were just looking at an object.
Xie Shu was stunned for a moment, and her eyes drooped again.
"The slave doesn't dareβ"
"I want to see the Xie family and see the mood of this king."
How didn't she know that he was making things difficult for her, Xie Shu frowned, "How can the prince be in a good mood?" β
As soon as the words came out, the next moment, the man with a cold face had already bullied her under him, pointing his finger against her chin.
"Don't you know the king's preferences best?"
The overwhelming aura came in, Xie Shu looked at him without blinking, her face was still handsome, and her head was a little empty.
"It's just a pair of skins, if the prince likes it, take it." She didn't say anything emotional, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all.
"Huh!"
"Like?"
The man's words were mocking, causing Xie Shu's body to stiffen.
She watched the curtains above her head empty, not knowing what was on her mind.
After a few moments, she endured the pain.
In his gaze, he unfastened his belt little by little, and pulled his clothes out one by one.
A look of giving and taking, without the slightest resistance.
Chu Tongshang stared at her for a while, and his black pupils were full of coldness.
He suddenly pushed her away irritably, and suddenly changed the subject.
"I'm still young, I've been pampered by the Gu family since I was a child, and it is inevitable that there will be some places that will displease the queen's mother, you know the queen's preferences best, you teach her well."
Hear the words.
Xie Shu looked at him quietly, "The slave understands. β
At this moment, the oppressive air in the room was also broken by the sound outside the door.
"Lord, the princess said that her feet hurt so badly that she couldn't sleep." There were men talking outside the door.
The words fell, and the man's figure left the side room like a gust of wind.
The air was quiet for a moment, the door was not closed, and the cold wind outside was howling.
Xie Shu thought of the words of those mothers-in-law again, her eyes sank into the darkness little by little, and she couldn't see any mood swings.
She sat on the bed for a long time.
The slap marks on her face made her look extremely indifferent at the moment.
She remembered many, many days ago, when she tried medicine for him, she was as old as Gu Sui.
