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

Chapter 716
Shu Xuanqingchen remembered that ghost mask, it was hard for anyone who had seen it to forget, so he asked again: "Then how did I come back?"

Xiao Jue said again: "I asked Shu Xuan to send someone to send a letter to Brother Huang first, and then go find you. I wanted him to take you away first. I didn't expect that you were in that situation at that time. He didn't dare to touch you easily. Later Brother Huang took you away. People killed people into the villa, Shu Xuan handed you over to Fufeng to come to me, but at that time, Brother Dahuang sent a special team to take me away, Shu Xuan led people to catch up and fight with them, chaos Shu Xuan and I were separated, and I accidentally fell down the cliff, and saw that there were dead and wounded soldiers at the bottom of the cliff, so I found a corpse and changed clothes with him, so I escaped from those people's pursuit."

Qingchen asked urgently: "Then are you injured? Why didn't you send someone to send a letter back earlier?"

Xiao Jue shook his head, "I was seriously injured at the time, and I lost my way in the mountains because I was avoiding the pursuers, and I couldn't get in touch with Shu Xuan. Later, I fainted by the stream. It was a kind hunter who saw me and saved me. At that time, I burned for three full days. If it wasn't for that person who knew some medical principles, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to come back."

How he narrowly escaped death at that time, she could completely imagine the thrill.Qingchen heard tears in her eyes, she didn't know that Xiao Jue had suffered so much outside, he was a noble son of a family, he was pampered since he was a child, even if he learned riding and archery when he was young, he probably never suffered such a crime.

Feeling very uneasy, she said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness has suffered, is the injury on your body more serious now? Let Gu Yunfeng go and show His Highness later, he has good medical skills, and trauma can leave no scars."

Xiao Jue clenched his fists and beat his chest indifferently and said, "I'm in good health, so there's nothing serious about it. What's more, a few scars are nothing. The scars on a man's body are a symbol of merit. How can a good man not have scars on his body?"

Even if Qing Chen didn't say it before, it's not unexpected that he asked now: "The prince and princess know that something happened to His Highness, but they don't know how sad they are. Did His Highness send someone to Liangdi to report that he is safe?"

Xiao Jue nodded and said: "Before returning to the palace, I asked Shu Xuan Feige to pass the letter back to Liangdi. The father and mother must receive the letter of safety soon, but unfortunately I can't go back in person. In fact, I have always been very happy." Are you concerned about the health of the concubine mother?"

Qingchen thought for a while and asked again: "Your Highness should have reached the age to return to Liangdi, right? Didn't you say that you can return to the fiefdom after the weak crown? Why hasn't the old ancestor mentioned this to you?"

Xiao Jue's expression immediately became a little depressed, and she sighed helplessly: "The emperor's grandmother said that if the marriage is not finalized, then don't even think about leaving, I...I don't want to, you know..."

"Your Highness has already reached the age for a big wedding, and this matter cannot be delayed any longer." Qingchen knew what he was thinking, but no matter what Xiao Jue thought in her heart, she didn't want to delay him because she couldn't repay him, "Wait When the concubine sees the emperor again, she will remind the emperor that it is time to choose a marriage for His Highness, or when the general election in autumn, if His Highness has a crush on a girl from any family, he can also ask the Emperor to marry His Highness."

Xiao Jue stood up suddenly, and said angrily, "You clearly know..."

Qingchen turned his face away to interrupt him and said, "Maybe your highness can go back to Liang to choose a concubine, and I will convey your highness's wishes to the emperor."

Xiao Jue's expression darkened, and he yelled at her angrily: "Thank you for your kindness, I don't need to take care of my affairs, you don't need to be so kind." Then she turned and left angrily.

Qingchen stood up slowly, was stunned for comprehension, collected her thoughts and continued to walk in the direction of Shou'an Palace. She knew what was going on in Xiao Jue's mind, so what if she didn't know?Giving him hope will only make him fall into his trap, and she will never let him risk everything for her again.

Yun Lan saw the crown prince leaving from a distance, hurriedly followed and asked: "Madam, why does this servant look angry at His Highness?"

Qingchen didn't look back, but walked forward with firm steps, "Even if he sighs for my indifference now, I still hope that he can return to Liangdi safely. After all, his future is Anshun that can be seen, and I, every day Living in a conspiracy, who knows what will happen in the future? Why bother him?"

Yun Lan is keen, and has already noticed Xiao Jue's feelings for her. Hearing what she said, she also nodded and said: "What your mother said is that it is time for the son to return to the fief." If you don't go back, you may cause trouble. up.

Qing Chen just didn't come in time to mention Leng Zhaoyi to him, maybe he knew that woman's feelings for him, or maybe he didn't know, no matter what, this kind of misfortune can never happen again, she can't bear it.

The Empress Dowager needed to recuperate during her illness, and the Shou'an Palace was quiet as usual. Seeing her coming in, Baozhu hurriedly stepped forward to bless her and said, "My maidservant greets the concubine Chen, and the empress is auspicious."

Qingchen said gently: "There is no need to be too polite."

Baozhu led her into the East Nuan Pavilion, and softly replied to the Queen Mother who leaned on the corner of the table with her eyes closed and meditated: "Queen Mother, Concubine Chen is here."

Qing Chen saw that besides Nanny Zhou and Nanny Wei were serving, Liang Jieyu was also there, and when she saw her come in, she had an indifferent expression on her face.The queen mother hummed lightly, opened her eyes slightly, and she hurriedly brought Yun Lan down to her knees, "My concubine pays her respects to the queen mother, and the queen mother is a thousand years old."

The Empress Dowager didn't cry out, but only asked: "What time is it? Why do you think it's been a long time since I squinted?"

Mr. Liang glanced at Kelou in the corner and replied softly: "It's the third quarter of the time, and the queen mother has only rested for less than a quarter of an hour. There is not much time."

"Really?" There was a little displeasure in the queen mother's voice, "The Ai family only knows that the concubine Chen is often late when she goes to pay her respects to the queen, but it turns out that even the Ai family doesn't pay attention, and the little girls who go to pass the message all come back. How long has it been before Concubine Chen is willing to let everyone come to my Shouan Palace, is it because she doesn't want to come see me as an old woman?"

Greetings to the queen, when has she ever been lazy?Presumably Qin Wanrong was just adding fuel and jealousy here, Qingchen hurriedly said: "The empress dowager forgives the sin. If the empress dowager says, the concubine cannot afford to be a concubine. I just met His Highness Shizi on the road, so I said a few words of gratitude to His Majesty. It’s really not intentional to come late.”

The queen mother gave her a sideways look, and said indifferently: "It is your good fortune that the son can come back, otherwise your crime will be great."

Qingchen bowed his head and said: "The son is a lucky man, so he can naturally turn bad luck into good fortune. For people with poor fortune like courtiers and concubines, their good luck is only due to the blessing of the son."

The queen mother looked lazy, seeing that she was safe and sound, and did not go to the emperor to complain about the pastry, she felt that she was a sensible person, even if she didn't like it, she couldn't make a mistake, so she ordered: "Get up, give me a seat." .”

Baozhu came up to help her up with Yunlan, the rosewood chair had no cushion, it felt a little cold, but it couldn't resist the chill in my heart, it turned out that there is really no free lunch in this world, it takes up someone's body, and there is always something wrong The wrong **** is God's will.
