In Kunning Palace, when the queen heard the news, her phoenix eyes couldn't help but show a hint of joy, "It seems that I was right about the person. This little Chenzi is really a rare smart person."
The maids on the side also expressed their blessings with joy, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, from now on Governor Xiao will be used by Your Majesty alone. Your Majesty, with Governor Xiao, you will be even more powerful, and Concubine Rong will no longer be your opponent."
The queen raised her lips slightly, and a touch of majesty from the phoenix grace spread all over her body. The determined look in her eyes was a unique aura she had developed after years of sitting in a high position. "That is natural. I will definitely make good use of this in the future." A dagger.”
Everyone thought that Xiao Chen had completely given up on Concubine Shu, and even Chu Yanwu believed it.
However, after all, the Shu Concubine's family is a well-known literary power. After the incident, the emperor weighed the pros and cons and did not intend to punish Concubine Shu for murdering the emperor's heirs. He just locked her up in the cold palace and quietly died. That's all.
No one could have imagined that under the surface of "giving up Concubine Shu", Xiao Chen made a shocking and extremely bold decision...
In the cold palace, several days seemed like one, with still the chilly wind and never enough food.
Concubine Shu received today's dinner from the young eunuch, which consisted of a steamed bun as hard as a stone and a bowl of porridge made from rotten vegetables.
The little eunuch still didn't dare to say anything, as if he had seen a ghost, and left after delivering the things. Concubine Shu walked into the palace carrying a dilapidated mahogany lunch box, and suddenly found that the broken rear window had completely fallen down. , revealing an empty place.
At this moment, it looked as if someone had broken in through the window to save her.
"What are you thinking about?" Concubine Shu shook her head secretly, her face was still cold and unruffled, and the look in her eyes was getting darker and she had no hope. "No one will come."
She whispered to herself coldly and sat on the ground calmly.
Xiao Chen stood behind the broken bed. He originally wanted to give her a surprise, but he didn't expect to see such a scene that made him heartbroken.
Concubine Shu's originally slender body became a bit thinner, reflecting her beautiful melon-seed face, as fragile as a willow branch that could break in the wind.
But his eyes were still so noble and resolute, as if nothing could affect her mood and conduct.
And even in such an environment, her body is still clean and tidy. Her coarse clothes are not stained by dust, and her black hair is even more pure because there is no hairpin decoration. Her face and body simply exude the fragrance of soap locust. .
Xiao Chen saw the dirty steamed bun she was picking up, and after a moment's hesitation, he was about to put it into his mouth...
"Empress!" Xiao Chen hurriedly ran out from behind the wooden bed, reached out and knocked the bun out of Concubine Shu's hand, and threw the bowl of dirty soup away.
Concubine Shu raised her head in astonishment, as if she didn't believe what she saw in front of her eyes. Her frowning eyebrows gradually relaxed, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, as if in a dream. She looked at him searchingly, "Xiao Chenzi? "
"It's me, empress, and I'm here to save you."
Xiao Chen put down the roast chicken and wine in his hand and couldn't help but want to hold this fragile beauty in his arms.
But when he leaned down, a complicated resistance flashed in Concubine Shu's eyes. She stepped back a little, and her eyes became cold and gloomy, "Thank you for bringing me wine, please take a seat."
Xiao Chengang's outstretched hand froze, but thinking that Concubine Shu had lived in this cold palace for six whole days, it was understandable that she felt a little uncomfortable seeing people for a while.
After adjusting his disappointed mood, Xiao Chen took out the roasted chicken and fine wine and placed them in front of the two of them. He also sat on the floor, poured a glass of wine for Concubine Shu, broke off a chicken leg, and gave it to her with a clean white handkerchief.
Concubine Shu's eyes gradually softened a little. Seeing Xiao Chen's careful movements, she couldn't help but get closer to him and took the initiative to take the chicken legs from his hand.
Xiao Chen's heart was heavy, and he couldn't help but look at Concubine Shu with even more distress, and gently lifted the hair from her face, "Mother, you must have suffered a lot these days, right?"
A blush appeared on Concubine Shu's pale and thin cheeks. She chewed the chicken leg gracefully in her mouth, but her eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red. But she still stubbornly controlled her tears from flowing out. Instead, she picked up the wine glass and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Xiao Tatsuko, thank you for bringing me clean meat and wine. My love for you is not in vain."
Xiao Chen had no intention of drinking with her, so he couldn't help but grab her thin wrist. Unknowingly, his eyes were a little red, as if he had sworn, and he looked at Concubine Shu firmly, "Mother, don't worry. , I will definitely rescue you!"
Concubine Shu smiled bitterly and stared deeply into Xiao Chen's eyes. At this moment, thousands of words were condensed into silence. She brought the wine glass to Xiao Chen's mouth, and for the first time she took the initiative to speak sweetly, "I'm feeding you, don't you want to drink too?"
Xiao Chen's heart trembled suddenly, and an unprecedented heat wave of blood hit his mind. The concubine Shu in front of him had a slender eyebrow, no makeup, and a pair of beautiful eyes with dots of light and a coquettish look, which he had never seen before. The softest and tenderest thing I have ever seen.
The main thing is that he understands that this belongs to him alone.
Xiao Chen stared at Concubine Shu's beautiful eyes infatuatedly, and drank the glass of wine along her white and tender hands with the fragrance of soap locust.
With the warm wine in his throat, his heart was filled with joy. Xiao Chen took Concubine Shu into his arms. For a moment, he felt satisfied. He couldn't help but think of what happened after leaving the palace, "Your Majesty..."
Concubine Shu raised a slender green-white index finger and interrupted his words. She looked at Xiao Chen seriously with a pair of sincere eyes, "Xiao Chenzi, you don't need to explain. I know the situation outside is not favorable."
"Don't worry, with these dishes and wine, I can already understand your thoughts."
"Even if you don't save me, it's still worth it."
Xiao Chen was stunned. For a moment, his whole body felt as if his heart was hit by a very powerful heavy object. His whole body froze, looking at Concubine Shu infatuatedly, unable to move.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Shu had no requirements for herself.
Which of the women in this palace is not getting close to him because they want to take advantage of him? But Concubine Shu was different. In times of crisis, she tried to push her away.
"Xiao Chenzi, you and I will have a great time drinking tonight. After today, you can forget about me."
There was a gentle smile on Concubine Shu's thin face. At this moment, she seemed to have briefly given up all her identity and shackles. She gently closed her beautiful eyes, and her sweet breath slowly moved forward and covered her body. On Xiao Chen's lips.
Xiao Chen's mind suddenly went blank, like thousands of stars passing through his heart. A feeling of soul connection that he had never experienced before swept over him, making him forget to take the initiative for a moment.
Concubine Shu didn't expect Xiao Chen to react like this. She couldn't help but chuckle in a low voice, and the warm and soft breath lingered between them, endlessly, "Xiao Chenzi, I didn't expect you to be so green here."
