The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1038 Returning to the Palace (1)
Xiao Jue held her hand, with tears rolling down his face, he hugged her tightly in his arms and begged, "Chen'er, don't leave me, please, don't leave me..."

Qing Chen couldn't tell what was going on in his heart at the moment, but he was full of gratitude to God for allowing Xiao Jun to live, "Your Highness, Chen'er is sorry for you, I have to go back, the Emperor needs me more."

"No, Chen'er, I'm the one who's sorry for you." Xiao Jue held her small face in his hands, looked and looked at her with great reluctance, as if he wanted to imprint her image in his mind, so that he would never forget it for the rest of his life.In fact, why didn't he know that as long as she knew that the emperor was still alive, she would definitely leave.

Xiao Jue held her hand, took her to a place where no one was around, took out a copper token engraved with a tiger's head from his bosom, and handed it to her, saying: "Chen'er, you take this soldier talisman, it's in the capital camp in the suburbs of Beijing." Xu Mian, the deputy commander of my father, is my father's confidant, and he also has his own private army. As long as you need it, you can use this token to mobilize the imperial guards in the suburbs of Beijing to serve you. You have military power Hand, Brother Huang will at least be afraid of you. In addition, I will leave Shu Xuan and others to you. They will be your helpers in the dark in the future and can help you with many unavoidable things. Chen'er, you are now Your power is no worse than that of the empress dowager back then. You have military power, and the Mu family and Xie family's great help in the court, and I will stand by your side. As long as you need it, I will definitely do my best to help you. Half of this great power is yours, you don't have to be afraid of anyone, no one will be your opponent in the emperor's harem from now on!"

Qingchen tightly held the token given by Xiao Jue in her hand, so tight that her palm ached a little, she knew what this token meant to Xiao Jue, it was the domain's secret garrison in the dynasty, Only the feudal lord and the sons who were hostages in Beijing knew that Xiao Jue had handed over the biggest secret of their Liang land to him.

Qingchen put away the token, touched the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said: "Your Highness, Chen'er may never have the chance to see His Highness again in this life, you have to take care of yourself, and don't let me miss you. I will also cherish myself , don’t let Your Highness worry. Your Highness has treated me well, and I can’t repay you in this life. The two years of quietness together, I hope it can be a little comfort to Your Highness. The childhood friendship, including when I grow up, Your Highness’s love Dedicated to protecting her, Chen'er does not dare to forget each other in the slightest. If Liangdi needs my help in the future, as long as I can, I will do whatever it takes to make your wish come true for His Highness."

Xiao Jue caressed her cheek, kissed her forehead with tears in her eyes, choked with sobs and said, "Chen'er, if I'm not by your side in the future, you must be strong, don't always compromise, or I will feel bad. I'm just afraid that it's not easy to survive in the deep palace, and if you encounter danger in the future, who else will protect you?"

Thinking about the previous bits and pieces, Qingchen also couldn't let go of this friendship. With reluctance and gratitude to Xiao Jue, he nodded and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, you also said that there is no opponent for me in the harem now, then What else do you have to worry about? Your Highness, don't worry, let Chen'er see you off for the last time?"

Xiao Jue shook his head, took her hand and walked to the carriage that Jinxiu had already prepared, and said, "No, Chen'er, let me watch you go, you go first."

Qingchen was about to turn around with tears in her eyes, when Yunxi ran over and asked reluctantly: "Miss Mu, do you... really want to go back?"

"Yunxi." Qingchen hugged her, thinking about the two years of getting along with her, Yunxi took care of her meticulously, and felt very sad in every possible way, and whispered in her ear: "You and the son go back to the feudal land Well, I'll hand him over to you, from now on you have to treat him well, as long as you have the heart, you can always wait for the happiness you want."

"Then what about you, you really love the emperor, and you didn't want to return to the palace because he forced you, right? If that's the case, I sincerely wish you and the emperor can grow old hand in hand." Yunxi looked around sympathetically Xiao Jue at the side glanced at her, carefully helped her into the carriage, and said: "From now on, you must take care of yourself. Also, I will remember what you told me, so don't worry."

Qing Chen nodded, then turned to Xiao Jue with tears and said: "Your Highness, Chen'er bid farewell. From now on, we will be separated from each other, and you and I will cherish it on our own. If you can, write a letter of safety to Chen'er from time to time, at least let Chen'er I know you're fine."

There were tears in Xiao Jue's eyes, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his eyes reluctantly followed her and walked out two steps, saying: "I know, Chen'er, you must be well, with you, I can feel at ease, otherwise I I will never forgive Brother Huang, if he doesn't treat you well, even if he ruins his world, I will seek justice for you!"

He said this to her, and also to Jinxiu, but Jinxiu didn't seem to hear it, and drove the carriage faster and faster with a gloomy expression.

Xiao Jue watched from afar until she could no longer see her shadow. Suddenly, he clutched his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and slowly knelt on the ground with weak legs.

Yun Xi was so frightened, she supported Xiao Jue's body, and shouted in fear: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you, Your Highness? Don't scare me, Mr. Shi, come quickly..."

"Yunxi, I'm fine, I just feel that my heart has been hollowed out." Xiao Jue's voice was weak and mournful, permeated with deep sorrow, which made Yunxi who was kneeling beside him feel very sad.

Mr. Shi helped Xiao Jue up, knew why he was like this, and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, His Highness is only vomiting blood because of his rage. Let's go, the prince is still waiting for us."

Xiao Jue sat slumped on the carriage, staring blankly out of the window, and let Mr. Shi drive the carriage, driving away from the direction of the capital.

Qingchen was right, Jinxiu drove the carriage not far away, and sure enough, he saw Fufeng leading a thousand elite soldiers waiting quietly not far away, seeing them coming back, Fufeng hurriedly jumped off the horse, and knelt down in front of the carriage Said: "The humble minister Fufeng, according to the imperial decree of the emperor, respectfully welcomes the empress back to the palace."

Qingchen stabilized his emotions, and said softly: "General Fufeng, please get up, you have worked hard, it is getting late, let's go as soon as possible."

"Yes, as ordered." Fufeng retreated to the side of the road, letting Jinxiu drive the carriage to pass first, and then brought people and horses to protect him from behind.

On the way, Jinxiu turned her head and asked, "Your Majesty, in fact, you have never forgotten the emperor, right? The Emperor asked the servant to bring a message to the empress, saying, 'The flowers on Moshang bloom, but you can return slowly.'"

Qingchen's heart trembled slightly, and tears instantly moistened his eyes. Thinking of the jokes she had with Xiao Jun, and the story of King Wuyue and Concubine Dai, at that time, he only felt that these words were plain and warm, and the feelings were especially heavy. How much profound experience, and now I hear these nine words again, and I know it deeply. Although a few words, they have already expressed my concerns and expectations, which are better than thousands of words in the world.

With a slightly choked voice, Qingchen said euphemistically: "Jinxiu, the day the palace was broken, I saw you lying beside the emperor's coffin covered in blood, and thought you were gone. Hong Tong died. But I'm just a weak woman. If it wasn't for Your Highness, I might have been forced to death by Murong Shaocheng. I haven't forgotten the Emperor, if I forget him, what else do I have in my life?"
