Chapter 49

Mo Li followed the master's gaze and looked at the busy figure, thinking: Actually, it's good to have a woman in the family.It's just that he didn't dare to say it out loud, maybe she could help Master get rid of the shadow left by Empress Qing in his heart.

Above the main hall, the ministers were all talking about sending troops to Shengyue.The faction headed by Xue Mang and Huo Lian advocated sending troops again, saying that morale should not be lowered, and it would also make people look down on An Xunguo, while officials headed by Prime Minister Jiuyan strongly opposed it.

They believed that the loss of soldiers and the loss of the general should raise their troops and store up their energy, otherwise An Xun would lose his innate advantage, and Qu Li's strength would catch up with An Xun, and might even replace An Xun's dominance in Longteng Continent.

The two factions were still arguing endlessly, with Huangfu Zhan's personality, he was the main battle, but there were many opposition voices in the court, so he had to consider the consequences of sending troops.

Qu Li Kingdom is located outside the battlefield, with favorable weather, favorable location, and harmonious environment. It has developed vigorously, and its national strength is catching up with An Xun.However, An Xun has focused on capturing Shengyue for the past few years, but unexpectedly, Qi Muchen appeared.The national treasury has already started to run a deficit. If Shengyue cannot be won, An Xun's status is likely to plummet.

In the imperial study room, Huangfu Zhan lay on the back of the chair and closed his eyes in thought.There was a light knock on the door, and a woman with a snow-skinned appearance came in with a bowl of soup.

"Your majesty, my concubine knows that your majesty is troubled by state affairs, so I specially send you ginseng soup to nourish your body."

Huangfu Zhan opened his eyes, raised his big hand to pinch her delicate and tender cheeks, and smiled, "Qing'er is still considerate of me. After staying in Fanyin Temple for so many days, are you still used to it?"

Concubine Qing blushed, but her heart was filled with sweetness, "As long as I can pray for the emperor's blessing, no matter how hard a concubine is, I can bear it. Oh, I heard people say the day before yesterday that the beautiful woman you brought back is from Shengyue Kingdom? "

Hearing her question, Huangfu Zhan's face froze, he pushed her away and stood up.His voice was suddenly a little cold: "Why, could it be that Qing'er is jealous of her?"

Concubine Qing panicked and was at a loss: "Your Majesty, Qing'er dare not!"

"I am the emperor, and there are countless concubines in the harem. If you have to intervene every time you bring a woman back, there is no room for others, then how dare I entrust the harem to you?"

"Your majesty?" Concubine Qing was overjoyed, could it be the emperor?She pretended to be puzzled, and asked: "Your Majesty, Qing'er is dull, what do you mean—"

Huangfu Zhan smiled lightly, "Qing'er is extremely intelligent, how could she not understand what I mean?"

Concubine Qing is overjoyed, the emperor really wants to make her a queen and rule over the harem!I think that I have paid so much for him, and it has finally paid off.

"Alright, Qing'er, since you're here, let me go and see someone." Huangfu Zhan held her hand and walked out of the study.

Concubine Qing felt light all over, the emperor had never been so gentle to her.Still immersed in the great surprise, Concubine Qing didn't notice the cold and evil light in his eyes, knowing that Ji Sheng's chuckle came from not far away, she raised her eyes, but was startled.

In front of her, a woman with a white gauze mask and a graceful figure is laughing like silver bells among the gorgeous flowers. If you look carefully, the man in the wheelchair in front of her also bends his eyebrows from time to time, staring at him constantly. The laughing woman had focused and doting eyes.

Naturally, Huangfu Zhan's complexion was not much better, he didn't expect that she lived here happily, even Qiantong was bewitched by her.

Concubine Qing stared blankly at the familiar figure, her face turned pale for a while.Just as she was thinking about how to face him, she suddenly felt a pain in her hand, and her tender hand was almost crushed. She looked down and saw that it was Huangfu Zhan who was holding her hand tightly, using excessive force due to anger. He cried out in pain.

Hearing the sudden sound, Qiantong and Ying Qinyue turned their heads at the same time, looking at the person who came, seeing that it was Huangfu Zhan, Ying Qinyue's heart tightened, and looking at Qiantong, he returned a soothing look.

"Qiantong, long time no see." Ying Qinyue gave Qiantong a strange look, and noticed that his expression was more indifferent than usual.

He didn't answer what the beautiful woman beside Huangfu Zhan said, but just looked up at Huangfu Zhan: "Are you here to take her away?"

Huangfu Zhan didn't say a word, just stared at Ying Qinyue who was wearing a veil behind him for a while, and then said, "The wound on her face has healed?"

"If I say it's not good, can you believe it?" Qian Tong snorted.

Huangfu Zhan thought about the happy situation he saw them getting along just now, shook his head and said, "With your medical skills, it doesn't take so long to heal this small injury."

"That's it, but you can't take her away now."

Huangfu Zhan was startled for a moment, then wondered, "Why?"

He has always been aware that since his leg became disabled, he has been extremely repulsive towards women, but he never thought that Ying Qinyue would have such abilities to help him get rid of the sequelae left by that incident.

Looking at her thoughtfully again, Ying Qinyue shivered, avoiding his gaze.Huangfu Zhan suddenly snorted angrily, and Concubine Qing beside him couldn't help being startled.

Qiantong didn't care either, and said slowly, "Because she was of great help in curing my leg disease, don't you want to see my leg get better?"

After finishing speaking, his eyes stayed on Concubine Qing, and Ying Qinyue could feel the anger and resentment in his eyes!

What is the relationship between her and Qian Tong? Although Qian Tong is indifferent, she rarely has such a look of resentment.unless--

She looked thoughtfully at Qiantong's lap, she must be the source of his rejection of women.

Huangfu Zhan obviously didn't expect him to say that, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Concubine Qing who was embarrassed, and the latter shook her head like a drum.He seemed to understand something, and said with a smile, "Of course not. Of course I'm happy that your legs are recovering. After all, you are my own brother!"

Ying Qinyue was taken aback, and looked at Qiantong, only to see his expression became colder, and she hummed softly, "So you still remember that I am your younger brother, Zhan, you go, you know I never like women coming mine."

His distasteful tone seemed to be chasing flies away, making Concubine Qing's face turn red and turn pale, which was very embarrassing.Huangfu Zhan curled his lips and laughed softly: "Qiantong, you seem to have forgotten that the one you want to keep is also a woman!"

Qiantong glanced at him, and said expressionlessly, "I didn't think she was a woman."

Uh, Ying Qinyue was stunned, and she didn't know what kind of expression she had under the veil, but she could only see a storm brewing in her eyes, almost blowing away the thousand pupils in front of her.

Huangfu Zhan laughed out loud, he never thought that he would evaluate her in such a way, she was so beautiful, but he said that she was not a woman, it seems that Qinger certainly poisoned him very deeply.Satisfied, he didn't notice the sadness and remorse in Concubine Qing's eyes, she quietly looked at the pale face on the wheelchair, her heart was torn by pain.

It's all her fault, why did she do that at the beginning, Qian Tong trusted her so much at that time, how could she bear it.

Huangfu Zhan was in a good mood, he didn't pursue her depression, and strode away with her.

When the two of them walked away, Qiantong turned around the wheelchair, met her turbulent eyes, and said calmly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I'm not like a woman?" She endured, maybe he just said this to prevent Huangfu Zhan from taking him away.

Qiantong pulled the corner of his mouth and replied sullenly: "Are you a woman? Hehe, if I treated you as a woman, then you wouldn't be standing here right now. Do you know why my wooden house is called 'Shu Ju'?" He turned back and gave her an inscrutable expression, "Every woman who dares to approach here will almost be driven out by the poisonous insects I feed, and you are the first one not to be driven out by them."

"Why?" She asked blankly, and then looked at the group of poisonous insects curled up in the box.

"Because I don't see you as a woman!" While talking to him, she returned to the original topic.

As smart as she is, she can't figure it out, she is obviously a woman, why didn't those bugs drive her away, it's strange, they didn't come out when that Concubine Qing came just now, didn't he think she was a woman?Well, I must find someone to try it another day, she doesn't believe those bugs are so powerful!
