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

Chapter 1041 Returning to the Palace (4)
"What you said is that it is even more difficult for ordinary couples to make a living. With you always by my side in the future, my heart will no longer be so empty." Xiao Jun hugged her in her arms, through the thin pajamas , feeling each other's body temperature, not anyone can replace someone who can be close to him, otherwise he wouldn't be depressed for so long.

The emperor rubbed her forehead and said softly: "Chen'er, it's great that you are back. I don't have to look at the moon every night, worrying that no one will take care of you. I can't see you, but the moon can shine. When I see you, I always think that it would be great if it could tell me where you are. When I miss you, do you also think about me? I am afraid that you will fall in love with the free world outside, forget What you told me back then."

"The concubine has not forgotten, and the concubine has never forgotten the oath to the emperor." Qingchen knelt seriously: "Your Majesty, the concubine and His Royal Highness are innocent. When the concubine rescued the concubine from Murong Shaocheng, The concubines have already lost all their thoughts. In the past two years, apart from recuperating from illness, they really have no extra thoughts to think about other things. The son is a gentleman and has never forced his concubines. Besides, there are Miss Yunxi and Mr. Shi by his side. I can testify that the concubine did not do anything to offend the emperor."

Seeing the emperor's face turned gloomy and cold in an instant, Qingchen became more and more afraid, no matter whether he believed what he said, it was true that Xiao Jue violated the imperial decree, how could the emperor not be angry?
On the way back, she thought of many things. When she returned to the palace, it was like throwing a huge boulder on the seemingly calm lake. Big waves would follow soon, and those people would not Let her go so easily, so before that, she must first gain the emperor's trust.

"I don't care, but Xiao Jue..."

The emperor's face turned serious, Qingchen gasped for an instant, cut off his words decisively and begged: "The concubine begs the emperor to make decisions for the concubine and kill Xiao Jue!"

The emperor's eyes twitched a few times, looking at her with unfathomable eyes, but he didn't speak.

She is a person who is very good at observing words and expressions. The fleeting killing intent on the emperor's expression just now, if there is no trace of it, was still carefully captured by her, so she said it first.

"You want to kill him?" The emperor's voice had no emotion and no warmth, but for some reason it suddenly made her feel a little guilty.

"Yes, because my concubine hates him!" Qingchen's heart tightened, she didn't know her chances of winning by saying this, but she knew she had to do this, "He ruined the concubine's reputation and made the emperor suspicious of his concubine. The innocence of the concubine made the concubine criticized by the world, and almost ruined the concubine's eyes, causing the concubine and the emperor to suffer the pain of parting. He deceived the concubine so badly, shouldn't the concubine hate him ?"

The emperor didn't say a word, but just looked at her quietly, his eyes were a little cold. When he was silent, such eyes would always make people feel an unbearable sense of oppression.Qingchen couldn't figure out his decision, so she had a sudden heart, since the scene had already started, she had to bite the bullet and continue singing.

Looking up at the emperor, the corners of Qingchen's mouth drooped slightly, and he said with tears of grievance: "I know that the emperor must not be willing to kill him, not to mention that brother-in-law killing will also damage the emperor's wisdom, but who can be wronged by my concubine?" Do you know? He can go to the feudal land as soon as he leaves to be his heir, but the concubine has to bear the charge of being a confidante, and he will not be able to lift his head in this life. How can the concubine have the face to live? The concubine dare not Forcing the emperor to make an order now, I only ask the emperor to stand in the position of the concubine and think for the concubine."

No matter what Xiao Jue did, anyone in this world could hate him, but she was not qualified.Qingchen's heart is miserable, I hope Xiao Jue can understand the painstaking efforts of doing this and don't hate her.The emperor has murderous intentions, if she pleads for Xiao Jue at this time, it will be like adding fuel to the fire, just the jealousy in the emperor's heart is enough to kill Xiao Jue.The emperor may not care whether she is still innocent, but he must not allow her to lose her heart.

Right now, only if she speaks out these words first to dispel the emperor's suspicion, at least let him understand her attitude towards Xiao Jue, can he deal with this matter rationally.Anyone can say intercession, but she can't!
Sure enough, seeing that the emperor's face was much warmer than before, he stretched out his hand to help her up, took the cloak on the back of the chair and put it on her, and said softly: "It's cold at night, be careful of catching cold. I know you are here What are you worried about? As early as the day when the rebellion was put down, I went to the ancestor's palace to report safety, and I told everyone in front of all the concubines that you went to Baiyun Temple to pray for Dagan, so you don't have to worry about leaving the palace for so long. Criticism."

Qingchen smiled wryly and said: "Even if the emperor is thoughtful, no one will believe it. It's just that the concubines don't dare to embarrass the emperor. Killing the son at this time is just trying to cover up."

The emperor was noncommittal, but said in a flat tone: "When Jinxiu went to pick you up, I did issue an imperial decree to Fufeng. If you refuse to come back, you will kill your son on the spot."

Qingchen twitched violently in his heart, and suddenly felt a coldness sweeping his whole body, as if he was suddenly in the wind, and was blown through his clothes by the cold winter wind.Sure enough, she guessed right, the emperor didn't have such thoughts.

"I won't move him for the time being. I just don't want to embarrass your ancestors. Besides, he has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion this time. He saved you from Murong Shaocheng and saved the two countries from fighting again. These are all credits. And Not long ago, King Liang was seriously injured in the border war, and the old prince has made great achievements in battle and is highly respected. I really don't want to touch him at this time."

After hearing the emperor's words, Qingchen let out a soft breath, and the tense heartstrings relaxed. What she wanted was the emperor's words, but the same words came from the emperor's mouth and from hers. , but with completely different consequences.What the emperor said was forgiveness and appeasement, but if it was her speaking, it would become a threat to defend. The emperor would never allow her to turn her heart towards Xiao Jue.

Qingchen walked to the warm kang and wanted to pour a cup of hot tea for the emperor, only to find that his fingers were a little stiff, and he was even trembling so that he couldn't hold the teacup steadily.She concealed the emotions in her heart, and said with some reluctance, "As long as others don't make things difficult for my concubine, my concubine will not insist on making things difficult for the emperor, and all my concubines will listen to the emperor."

Xiao Jun took his tea with a slight smile, her eyes were cloudy and uncertain, she took a few sips and put it on the corner of the table, holding her hand and said coldly: "Chen'er, not only you, but also I can't swallow this breath in my heart , Fortunately, I didn't lose you, nor did I lose your heart, otherwise I would never be able to forgive him!"
