Is Shizi ill today?

Chapter 694 I am also afraid of death

Xia Houqing pinched her fingers, staring at her little face all the time, but she didn't respond, but he got a little angry.

"If you're worried about me, you shouldn't drive me away. They searched here, and they won't come again in a short time."

Shen Qianqiao sneered, and turned to look at him: "With the status of the national teacher, do you have anything to be afraid of?"

Xia Houqing raised his eyebrows, facing her eyes full of disbelief, he smiled calmly and said: "Everyone in this mortal world has weaknesses, I can't escape it, and I'm also afraid of death."

Shen Qianqiao looked at him coldly, her red lips pursed tightly.

"If you want to draw a clear line with me, I will be even more unable to leave."

Xia Houqing sighed, her eyes fixed on her all the time: "Qian Qiao, I will never let you go in this life."

Shen Qianqiao became inexplicably irritable, and said coldly: "I think you made a mistake. I took you in these days not because I have any thoughts about you. There is no possibility between you and me."

The smile on Xia Houqing's face faded a lot, and his deep eyes darkened.

"Let go!"

He let go of her hand.

Shen Qianqiao stood up abruptly, and hurried out.

The emperor passed away, and in the next few days, people in the entire imperial city had to wear plain clothes, they were not allowed to eat meat, and brothels were not allowed to receive customers. They prayed for the late emperor for three days.

Because the first emperor did not leave an edict to pass on the throne, and insisted on establishing a direct line to grow, and the current empress has no heirs, all the court officials elected the second prince Xiahou Chun, the son of the concubine De, as the king.

After all, when the first emperor was alive, among the two princes, the second prince was the most favored.

Although when the first emperor was critically ill, the government was in the hands of the son, and there were some faint rumors.

However, the late emperor had already gone, and there was no definite edict to pass on the throne, and even some courtiers preferred the eldest son in their hearts, and dared not propose it openly.

"princess--"

Guo Nanny walked in hastily: "The Empress Dowager Xi in the palace has come to Yizhi again."

Concubine Duan's face turned cold, she looked at herself in the mirror, pursed her lips and said, "Is there any news for your son?"

"Not yet," Nanny Guo replied in a low voice.

"Trash!" Princess Duan scolded coldly, and stood up with her hair loose.

Guo Nanny hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Master Chen is not here, those old slaves can't order them around. Although the housekeeper is in charge, without the prince, he has no backbone!"

Princess Duan stopped in her footsteps.

Mommy Guo realized that she said something wrong, and quickly knelt on the ground: "This old slave is getting more disciplined."

Princess Duan lowered her eyes and glanced at her: "Now that Concubine De's son has ascended the throne, and there is no edict to pass on the throne, my game of chess has been ruined. After half my life's hard work, he will definitely laugh at me underground, and I deserve it..."

"Princess, don't say that. Even if the lord has his last breath, he will give it to the concubine. More than anyone else, he hopes that the concubine can live well, and that the concubine can get what she wants. Even for the sake of the prince, the concubine must take care of herself!"

"Really?" Concubine Duan looked at the empty room, "Now that the prince's bones are not cold, and her son has just ascended the throne, as long as I keep complaining about my illness, she can't do anything to me, but after a long time, she has settled down. Don't be afraid of me, Mammy..."

She whispered: "I'll have someone send you to the countryside to retire and leave this place of right and wrong."

Nanny Guo felt sore, and shook her head violently: "The old slave is not going anywhere. The prince saved the old slave's life back then, and he said that the old slave should take good care of the princess. Where is the princess, where is the old slave, unless the old slave die!"

Princess Duan sighed lightly, and reached out to help her up.

"What's the trouble, ma'am?"

Guo Momo wiped her eyes and said hastily: "The butler will definitely find the prince back, the princess don't have to worry, the prince is capable, he will definitely protect the princess!"

Concubine Duan was silent for a while, then nodded lightly: "People who come to the womb these days, just say that I am unwell, let them go."
