Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 588 Mindless and Unhappy

The imperial concubine dared to speak, but You Lingxi did not dare to accept it. She only sighed with a wry smile, "Your Majesty has his own destiny, not to mention those imperial doctors with superb medical skills who are always guarding him. I think he will recover soon... …My queen, don’t worry.”

Although the other party didn't look worried at all.

So what if the prince oversees the country and the queen controls the harem? This noble concubine is probably as happy and at ease as she said just now.She didn't have to worry about whether the emperor was well or not. She might even pray for blessings every day, just hoping that the person on the dragon bed would stay sick like this.

If the emperor is seriously ill, the marriage will indeed be put on hold... It would be good for him if he could stay ill.As soon as this idea appeared in her mind, You Lingxi was startled. She almost realized in hindsight that maybe this was the reason why the imperial concubine showed her kindness - at this point, their interests were the same. of.

Those with similar interests can easily become allies.

But obviously, the ally the imperial concubine wanted was not her, You Lingxi, but the You family.My father was neutral and only loyal to His Majesty. If this were not the case, my father's official position would not be secure. All the princes-in-law in the past dynasties had no real power, but my father was the first to do so. This was due to the emperor's reliance.My father always said that this is a gift but also a shackles.

As expected, the imperial concubine smiled again.She has a beautiful face, and even though she already has a son as old as a prince, she still has the coquettishness of a little daughter when she smiles, and the coquettishness also contains a bit of mature charm, mixed together in a contradictory way, becoming A charm that no one else can learn from.She supported her chin with one hand on the armrest and smiled lazily, "Speaking of which, Your Majesty's illness is also strange. It's just a matter of evil wind entering the body and sweating, and it's gone. I've been struggling with it for a long time. , good times and bad times. Although I don’t understand medicine, I also know that things are unusual. Only those imperial doctors, one by one, said it was okay, but their faces were frowning and trembling... I don’t know who was affected by it. orders."

In the past, the empress dismissed the harem attendants, and in the later period, the imperial physician gave false testimony. These insinuations were unfinished and could be understood by any sensible person.

You Lingxi lowered his eyebrows and smiled solemnly, and after a while he said, "It's really fine. It's just the changeable weather these days that caused His Majesty's condition to relapse."

"Ha." The imperial concubine smiled and remained silent, her smile sarcastic and cold.It can be seen that this noble concubine is indeed very high-spirited. She is sitting in the pavilion in front of Yu You Lingxi and does not seem to bother to say anything against her will, even if these words are straightforward enough to accidentally reach Her Majesty the Queen. There is a possibility of being convicted.

You Lingxi felt that she was timid. She didn't dare to listen to what the other party dared to say, so she just laughed and stretched her neck to look outside, feeling as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

The imperial concubine saw this and murmured to herself, "While I was saying this, I forgot about the time. Now that your child has grown up, you have become more and more aware of the rules and regulations, and you come to the palace less frequently. I don’t see you coming and going in a hurry on weekdays. Today I had a chance to accompany you and talked with me for a long time... Are you in a hurry to go back? "

"No." You Lingxi sneered and moved his butt before explaining, "I just thought I would go back soon when I went out, so I didn't tell my elders at home. I'm afraid they will be worried now."

"You are a careful kid. Unlike the prince, who is busy coming and going all day long, and never says a word to me. If you ask too many questions, just say that I am a woman and the court. I don’t understand what happened after I told you about it...so, the girl’s family is still considerate.”

"What are you talking about, your Majesty? The prince's outstanding ability in supervising the country is the best among people who have ambitions in the world. Now he is ordered to supervise the country and he is even more responsible for everything... He can only relate to the family of a girl who has nothing to do. He is not comparable to His Highness... This may not make people laugh." Hearing someone praise her son in this way, the imperial concubine's eyebrows became gentler.

Smiling and sighing, "After all, it's just the supervision of the country...otherwise, you wouldn't have to marry Nao Shizi Jiangnan."

The voice is very soft, scattered in the wind, the speaking speed is very slow, and the smile is very gentle, just like the unintentional murmuring when you are sleepy and confused after a midnight dream.

But You Lingxi's limbs suddenly felt as cold as falling into an ice cellar - did the imperial concubine mean that her father would support the prince for her marriage and take this opportunity to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor? !How dare she, noble concubine? !

The bright sun shines in from outside the pavilion, casting a slanted shadow on the ground. The shadow of my half-rising body just covers the other party's skirt.The other party's beautiful eyebrows were hidden in the darkness, and his gentle smile seemed to be tainted with a bit of coolness. His dark pupils looked over like this, without even a hint of smile in his eyes.

No wonder... this noble concubine has been particularly outspoken about herself from just now.You Lingxi thought like this and almost broke his silver teeth - he knew that this woman who had been doting in the harem for 20 years must not be a vegetarian. The kindness she threw at her out of nowhere could not be received or received by him. .

What did you just say?Aiming for the world, being a dragon among men... These words are fine for others to hear, but if they reach the ears of the queen, I am afraid that the You family will have to choose a side.At that time, I was only thinking about leaving here, and what I said when my mind was relaxed, I didn't expect that it would cause me such trouble.

His hands and feet were cold, and the smile on his face could no longer be held. His mind was spinning rapidly, thinking of ways to escape for the You family, but on his face, he only pulled the corners of his mouth and tried to squeeze out a smile that was not embarrassing, and said sarcastically, "This is it. Life. Lingxi’s destiny should be like this... Jiangnan is a good place, and the Chen family and the Chen family are also famous families in Jiangnan. What’s more, your majesty is true to his word. Now that the imperial edict of marriage has been issued, how can you let your majesty go back on his words for the sake of Lingxi? man of."

These are words I heard my mother say countless times in daily life. Now that I think about it, my mother’s words over and over again are not only to persuade me, but also to persuade her.Some words, if said too often, the person who said them will believe them.

However, she was young after all, and the trembling thoughts in her heart could not be concealed. At this moment, her face was full of "I understand what you said, but I didn't dare to answer, so I pretended not to understand."

The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows slightly, her dark pupils curved, as if she was a hunter who finally found her prey in the endless dark night, "Fate..."

She chewed the word carefully, her words were soft and slow, and she smiled softly after a while, "I don't believe in such things as fate. As the sage said, princes, generals, and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed?" Our ancestors of Dong Yao were originally from a rough background... It was because they did not believe in this so-called destiny that we achieved the glorious imperial career in the future."
