Empress Chu

Page 260

Now the generals and officials are all working in the county government office, and the queen is settled in the Zhongshan Palace. Although the queen needs to deal with more affairs, it is much easier than the war. You can visit the Zhongshan Palace.

They didn't have this opportunity in the previous two visits.

Chu Zhao withdrew his gaze from the rockery on the side, looked at the hot spring again, and said with a smile: "The king of Zhongshan is still very good at enjoying it."

Ah Le walked over quickly, tried it with his hands, and said, "Would it be good for your health if you let Ah Jiu come to soak in the hot spring?"

Chu Zhao shook his head with a smile: "It's best for him to stay in the room without seeing the sun, and he will pass out after soaking in the water."

Having said that, he said again.

"It's time to wake up."

Turn around and leave.

"Go back and have a look, it's time to take medicine."

A Le hurriedly stood up from the hot spring pool: "Miss, you just came out - it's not like he can't take medicine by himself!"

Chu Zhao had already left without looking back.

A Le stomped his feet helplessly, and then looked at the beautiful scenery around him: "I have lived in the Zhongshan Palace for so many days, and I haven't even seen what the Palace looks like. Sure enough, I don't have a chance this third time."

She sighed and followed.

The house in the palace was even quieter. Xie Yanlai slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were distracted, as if she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality, and there was a strong smell of medicine in her breath...

When Deng Yi was hiding under the bed, in order to cover up the presence of another person and give him medicine at any time, Deng Yi almost filled the room with medicine because of his own assassination and injury.

"How long have you slept?"

"What kind of medicine are you taking today?"

"Have you prepared porridge? Is today's chicken soup stewed? I'll try it first. Yesterday's him disliked salt."

There was a female voice outside the door, Xie Yanlai's slack eyes gradually condensed, shining brightly, he coughed with a slight tickle in his throat, the small voice died away, and his footsteps were loud, someone approached the bed.

"Wake up."

Chu Zhao leaned over to look at him with a smile, turned his head and ordered without waiting for a reply.

"Bring the medicine quickly."

Xie Yanlai frowned: "Let me take medicine as soon as I wake up, and take medicine all day long. These days, I take more medicine than I take in a month. It's better to let Deng Yi take care of me."

Chu Zhao sat on the edge of the bed with a smile, and gently helped him up to sit on the bed, and said, "Deng Yi can't help it, and the doctor can't show it to you. Use it more, for fear of being discovered, it’s your fate that you didn’t eat it to death.”

Ah Le fetched the soup and medicine bowl, handed it directly to Chu Zhao, and didn’t say anything, Miss, I’ll come, I know it’s useless, I don’t need her here, so I set up the small kang table, put a row of small plates filled with dried and fresh fruits, and let’s go Back off.

Chu Zhao fed Xie Yan with a medicine bowl, and snorted again: "You are still grateful to him. He is not looking after you. He is using you as a bargaining chip. He didn't tell me anything in advance. If I kill him directly, What about you? You survived alone, and eventually died under his bed. Also, I spared his life. He first asked if his mother was still alive. After learning that his mother was still alive, he said One life for one life, tell you, if I say his mother is gone, you will die in the bed too."

A female voice whispered in his ears, Xie Yanlai seemed to hear it, but he didn't seem to hear it clearly, he only thought of one sentence.

At that time, Deng Yi said, you are lucky to meet her.

It should be said that fate is good because he met Deng Yi, and Deng Yi saved him.

He understood now what that meant.

Because Deng Yi knew that she would show mercy to him, let alone hurt his mother, so he wanted to save him to pay back...

Hmm...Deng Yi only revealed his news after asking his mother was still alive. To Deng Yi, his mother's life is the most precious, so this is to exchange his most precious for her most precious?

Deng Yi thinks he is her most precious.

Uh, he was her most precious? !

he--

"Oh, I'm so good today." Chu Zhao said happily, "I finished the soup so quickly."

Not knowing whether he was choked by the distraction just now or by the medicine, Xie Yanlai coughed.

"Not much in one mouthful? Choking? Is it because of the bitterness?" Chu Zhao hurriedly patted him, then squeezed the candied fruit on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, "Eat a piece of candy."

Xie Yanlai was annoyed and funny and grabbed her arm to block it: "I'm coughing, you think I'm not choking hard enough, so hello!"

Chu Zhao smiled and said, "I don't understand, and I have never served anyone before."

With clever words, Xie Yanlai snorted.

Seeing that his cough had subsided, Chu Zhao shook his hand—the wrist was still held by Xie Yanlai, and said, "Take a bite, the medicine is really not good."

Xie Yanlai looked at the hand dangling to her mouth, opened her mouth subconsciously, and then saw that she was holding her wrist, which was slender and soft, and it seemed that it could be broken if it was held in his hand...

He let go of his hand as if being burned, took the candied fruit from her hand, threw it into his mouth, and turned his eyes away.

"Are you tired?" Chu Zhao got up again to help him, "Lie down." He asked again, "Would you like to eat more? I made chicken soup and made small wontons..."

She whispered to him what to eat.

Xie Yanlai turned her gaze away and frowned: "Is the Empress not busy? Why is she staying with me all day long?"

Chu Zhaodao: "The most important thing for me now is to take care of General Xie."

The corner of her mouth is smiling, it seems to be the same as the previous hippie smiling face, but it seems to be different... Maybe it's not that she is different, but his own heart is different, Xie Yanlai turned his eyes away again: "Thank you for your grace."

He paused.

"I killed Xiao Xun, not for you."

So, she actually didn't need to treat him like this.

"I know." Chu Zhao said softly, "You did it for yourself, your heart made you do it."

Xie Yan came to see her, but as before, he always wanted to laugh when talking to her. He suppressed a smile and said, "So you don't have to be grateful to me."

"I'm not grateful to you." Chu Zhao put his hand on his heart and said solemnly, "I take care of you for my heart."

her heart!What's on her mind!Xie Yanlai's heart skipped a beat, and he let out a sigh: "What, what nonsense, what does your heart have to do with me?"

After talking, I was annoyed again.

He's the bullshit, that's what it says.

Chu Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, and didn't bother with him anymore, nor did he answer what his heart had to do with him, and said, "Okay, you lie down first, I have something to tell you."

What do you say?Xie Yanlai did not refuse, and let Chu Zhao help him to lie down slowly.

Neither of them spoke, and the room was quiet. It was rare for the two of them to get along so quietly. Xie Yanlai always felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, because she came to help him to lie down, and the two of them were so close that he couldn't avoid her face.

Fair and clear, with clean eyebrows and eyes like rare jade in the world, she no longer looks like the girl who pretended to be stupid at the post station.

she has grown up...

It's been four years, how fast.

With a hand on his face, Xie Yan came back to her senses, and there was another sigh in her ear, the girl was also looking at his face.

"It's so thin that it's out of shape," she said. "It's not as good as it used to be."

Xie Yanlai was angry and funny: "Nonsense, my young master looks good anytime!" Then he pushed her hand away in embarrassment, "Don't move your hands."

Chu Zhao withdrew his hand with a smile and sat down.

"I've thought about something these past few days." She said, looking at him softly, "Xie Yanlai, you should die this time."

Chapter 75 Rewards

do you died?

Xie Yanlai looked at her, said oh, and raised her hand to put it on the back of her neck, but she raised her hand and finally put it on her shoulder, saying: "If you die, you will lose everything. This is a great achievement for killing Xiao Xun .”

Chu Zhao pulled his hands down: "Your bones are loose now, don't make strange movements."

Xie Yanlai was very annoyed, why is it such a strange action to put her hands on her head!Obviously chic and uninhibited.

"The great achievement of killing Xiao Xun came from Xie Yan, and no one can take it away." Chu Zhao continued, "But apart from Xie Yanlai, I think Ah Jiu should also be rewarded. Ah Jiu's reward is freedom."

free?Xie Yanlai snorted: "What are you thinking about, who is not free? Freedom, you should think about yourself first."

Chu Zhao nodded: "I think about it." She moved towards him, sat cross-legged casually, and wrung her fingers, "I became a queen at the beginning because I wanted my father and me to have a better life and contribute to the country. Not to be slandered, and later, since I became a queen, I have to take responsibility again, and I have to be a good one. Now that the king of Xiliang has been defeated and fled far away, the father and son of the king of Zhongshan are dead, and Ah Yu will be able to rule in person in two years. , and with Xie Yanfang around, the throne can be considered secure, so I can leave."

She said with hope in her eyes.

"Leaving the capital and going back to Bianjun, my idea has never changed. Even if my father is gone, my father's soul is still there."

"At that time, I will go back to Border County and freely inspect the place where my father has guarded all his life."

After finishing speaking, seeing Xie Yanlai, she raised her eyebrows.

"Don't you want to come with me?"

Xie Yanlai was concentrating on listening, and she was still thinking about it... Suddenly hearing this sentence, she couldn't help but moved inside: "Me? Why should I be with you? Me, I'm not familiar with that side."

"I'm not familiar, General Xie is more familiar than me in Bianjun now." Chu Zhao smiled, and then said seriously, "Ah Jiu, being a child of the Xie family is too tired, what you do is not what you want to do, What you get is not what you want, let's not want it."

We... no more.

Xie Yanlai's eyes were sore for a moment, and he was a little dazed.

He also said this sentence.

A long time ago, he hugged his mother's body and cried, "Mother, we don't want it anymore, let's go home."

However, the mother can not answer him.

Xie Yanlai turned her head inward, and coughed to suppress the upset emotion.

Chu Zhao didn't seem to notice his emotions and continued talking.

"When I heard about you, I kept thinking that after I found you, I would definitely take you away."

"Whether it's a dead body or you alive."

"You are not suitable to be a child of the Xie family, you are too tired to be a child of the Xie family, we have done enough, let's not do it."

"I've made arrangements since entering the city. Only my confidant, Long Weijun, is involved in matters involving Deng Yi and you, and no one else knows about it."

"This way you covered up your news, the world only knows that Xie Yanlai and Xiao Xun died together, and there will be no Xie Yanlai in the future."

"However, even if you don't become Xie Yanlai, you can still do what you like in Bianjun..."

Hearing this, Xie Yanlai turned her head and said with a half-smile, "I like to fight and make trouble, what should I do? Be a bandit?"

Chu Zhao's eyes brightened: "Yes, you can be a bandit."

Xie Yanlai looked at her and asked, "What about you, are you the female general of the frontier army?"

Chu Zhao nodded: "Yes, just like my father." He said with a chuckle, pointing at Xie Yanlai, "Then you are just like my mother."

After finishing speaking, I was stunned. Are parents like a couple?

A blush flashed across the girl's face, and she scratched her face with her fingers.

"Don't even think about talking, just say everything." Xie Yanlai muttered, turned her head to the other side, and pressed her red-hot ear.

The room fell into silence, quiet and awkward, as if they wanted to say something, but they didn't know what to say.

"Miss!" Ale poked his head outside, "Bianjun Xiaoman's family has come."

People from Xiaoman's family came, that is to say, people from Mumianhong's side came, Chu Zhao hurriedly got off the bed, and said to Xie Yan, "Then it's settled." After saying that, he ran out quickly.

Xie Yanlai heaved a sigh of relief, but with some inexplicable regret, she curled her lips: "It's settled, it's settled." After saying that, he turned over and buried his head on the pillow. He didn't know if it was because of too much pain from the movement or other reasons. , hammered the bed board with his hands.

……

……

Gu Xi

Chu Zhao didn't go far, and saw Xiaoman's family next to Xie Yanlai's residence.

A graceful figure stands by the window in the hall, curiously pulling the hibiscus flowers in full bloom through the window.

Chu Zhao saw it at a glance, and was a little surprised: "You—Muzhai Lord, why are you here?"

She asked Xiaoman to send a message to Mumianhong to send some people, but she didn't say that Mumianhong would come in person.

Mu Mianhong turned her head, eyes glued to the girl's body, and smiled softly: "I miss you, let's take a look."

This was the first time Mu Mianhong spoke so bluntly. Chu Zhao was stunned for a moment, a little cautious, but his heart became inexplicably hot.

It turns out that this is what it feels like to be told directly.

It turned out that she also expected to be thought of.
