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

Chapter 849 It Was Her (3)
Shen Chang frowned and said: "This subordinate has also thought of this. When I brought people to search the Empress Palace just now, some people were left on the shore to watch. There is no news so far, and my subordinate also took the wall of the backyard. After checking, there are no footprints there, so I suspect that the assassin is still in the empress palace."

"Since you are so skeptical, then I will take Concubine Chen back to Xinuan Pavilion to rest, and you can stay here with someone and continue to search." The emperor finally changed his decision and said to Qingchen: "I wanted to stay with you. , but now it seems that you are going to leave with me, and the assassin has not been found, so I don't feel at ease to keep you here, let your maids bring you the clothes you are going to wear tomorrow morning, you can go back with me."

Qingchen knew that she had no reason to refuse. At this time, the behavior of a normal person should be to hide as far as he can. Even if it is for the sake of his own life, he must leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

"The concubine thanked the emperor for his love, and I will go back with the emperor."

After she left, no matter what Shen Chang found from her palace, as long as it was not from his palace, he would always be able to explain the past.

Qingchen raised his hand to touch his face again, and felt that the man didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, otherwise he could have killed her in one fell swoop while she was asleep.

She was so preoccupied along the way that she hardly spoke a word.Following the emperor back to Xinuang Pavilion, Xiao Jun dismissed everyone and asked softly, "Did you meet anyone tonight?"

Qingchen hurriedly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I really haven't seen anyone. I was awakened by Commander Shen's doorbell in my sleep. If you don't believe me, you can ask Yun Lan. It's her, she never left my concubine."

"Then why are you nervous? If the assassin has nothing to do with you, why are you so restless?" The emperor said in a very firm tone, "Don't tell me that you are afraid, I can see that you have something on your mind."

"Your majesty, my concubine really doesn't know about the assassin. Commander Shen found the assassin near the imperial study. Would my concubine still buy an assassin to assassinate the emperor?" Qingchen's only argument was like this. She passed the assassin, but she didn't see his face, and she wasn't even sure whether someone had really entered her room.

Xiao Jun hugged her and sat on the bed, and said softly: "I know you won't do this, I just hope you don't hide something from me, like what happened tonight, you must have something in your heart Yes, but you refuse to say, is it because you don’t trust me? If you don’t even trust me, who else can you trust?”

"Your Majesty, my concubine...the concubine really doesn't know..." It's not that I'm hiding something from him, but I feel that there is really no way to talk about it, "Someone wanted to assassinate the emperor, but they ran into the concubine's palace. I was thinking...that person's purpose, why did he have to run to the concubine's palace?"

"That's what you think? Then what do you think his purpose is?"

Qingchen also finds it very puzzling, and no matter how you think about it, he finds it unreasonable, "It is because I can't figure it out that the concubine has been restless. He wanted to assassinate, but he shot Shen Tong into the concubine's palace with a feint. Could it be that someone wanted him to Did you find anything wrong in the concubine's palace?" He said so, but he always felt that the person had no malicious intentions, and if he really wanted to harm her, he could kill her with a single knife, so why bother ?
Xiao Jun asked again: "Then, do you know what's wrong in your palace?"

"The concubine doesn't know, so she can't figure it out, so she's worried."

The emperor nodded slightly, thought for a while and said: "Forget it, since you can't figure it out, then don't worry about it right now. When Shen Chang finds someone, he will naturally understand, or if someone really has some intentions, After all, if something happens, you just wait for it with peace of mind, anyway, I believe in you."

"Your majesty...will you really trust your concubines? No matter what happens, will your majesty trust your concubines?" It's not that he doesn't believe him, but I don't know why I still ask this question. Qingchen knows that if they are still Qin Zishuo from the Valley of Evil Doctors at this moment And Shen Nianyi, then she would never ask more questions.Maybe his identity changed, and Zeng Jiang's firmness began to shake a little.

Xiao Jun understood the worry in her eyes, stroked his cheek and said with a smile: "What are you worried about? Is it because I became the emperor that you no longer dare to trust and rely on me like before? But Wanyi, no matter what Believe it or not, my heart for you has never changed, never."

Qingchen trembled slightly. This was the second time she had heard someone call her Wanyi tonight. This name was no stranger to her, but when it was called from Xiao Jun’s mouth, she felt an indescribable feeling. It felt, in memory, that this was the first time he called her that.

"The concubine knows, so the concubine has never failed the emperor."

The emperor pursed his lips in relief, took off the cloak on her body, and carried her to the bed, "Rest in the middle of the night, we will talk about tomorrow if you have anything to do, I will warm you up, and be careful of the wind and cold."

Xiao Jun held her in his arms very tenderly, and said softly: "Go to sleep, after tossing and tossing for most of the night, the sky is almost dawn."

Qingchen knew that he was still suspicious, but even though he didn't quite believe what she said, he didn't want to embarrass her.

When he fell asleep, he knew that it was almost time for the emperor to stand up, but when he woke up, he felt that although he slept for a short time, he didn't feel tired.

Yun Lan was waiting on the side, seeing that she was awake, she hurriedly ordered someone to go out to wash her face, she stayed on the bed in a daze, she accidentally glanced out of the window, she couldn't help being startled, looking at the shadow of the window, it was very scary. It's almost time for lunch.

How can a concubine stay overnight in the emperor's bedroom and sleep until this hour before getting up?After the chaos last night, she also forgot about this rule. Thinking about it now, she couldn't help but raise her hand and pat her on the head. If people knew about this, wouldn't it be another gossip?There are too many rules in this palace, and most of them are very strict, which is really helpless.

Qingchen washed his face in the golden basin with painted peony patterns brought by the little palace maid, and asked, "Where is the emperor, why is it so quiet, there is no movement at all?"

Yun Lan was waiting on the side with a towel, and said with a gentle smile: "When the emperor got up this morning to go to court, he ordered someone to add a handful of soothing incense to the incense burner, saying that the empress did not sleep well last night, so no one was allowed to wake her up. , you can sleep with your empress anytime. The emperor has already come back from the morning court, and he is currently reviewing papers in the East Nuan Pavilion."

"Hurry up and help me comb my hair and change my clothes. It's better if it's simpler." Qingchen finished washing as quickly as possible, then hurriedly dressed, combed her hair and headed for Dongnuange.
