The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

When Ren Qingzhou and others heard that it was Ruan Yunheng who had disfigured Qiao Xi and summoned her to the Jiuque harem, they immediately wanted to stop her.

Qiao Xi knew that they were worried about her, but she had to go to this Nine-Queen Harem.

If you disobey the order, your entire clan will be executed.

She didn't want to die, nor did she want to kill Xu Yi.

What's more, Xu Yi and Han Yun'an are still in the hands of the current Grand Tutor.

The main reason was that her face had been destroyed, and she no longer posed any threat to Concubine Ruan Yunheng.

This time Ruan Yunheng asked her to enter the palace, probably to treat her face.

Seeing that she was determined to go, Ren Qingzhou and others had no choice but to give up trying to stop her.

However, how could Ren Qingzhou allow her to enter the dangerous Jiuque Harem alone?

Li Wen also followed.

……

Shujing Hall.

"My beloved, didn't I tell you before that I would let Xu Qiao stay in Shujing Palace until your face was healed? Why did you let her leave?"

Ever since that day when Ren Xuanyong saw Qiao Xi's beautiful face, he thought of her from time to time. Even when he was reviewing memorials, her graceful figure would appear in his mind.

How charming it would be to see such a delicate girl lying in his arms.

The only drawback is that she is married.

However, what's wrong with such a beauty getting married? Maybe she understands the pleasure of bed better than other beauties in the harem.

Thinking of this, Ren Xuanyong couldn't help but have some fantasies.

Ruan Yunheng was held in Ren Xuanyong's arms, so naturally she did not miss any of his reactions.

When he saw lust gradually fill the eyes of the ruler of a country beside him, his body stiffened.

Fortunately, she remembered the face stained with blood in the hall that day, and her stiff body instantly became soft again, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

The voice was so tender that it made the person who heard it feel as if soft feathers were brushing against their body, and they felt numb all over.

"Your Majesty, are you here in my Shujing Palace to see me, or to see this country bumpkin, Xu Qiao?"

There was a hint of jealousy in his words, but it was just right so as not to offend people.

Ren Xuanyong raised an eyebrow, pleased by Concubine Ruan Yunheng's coquettish voice, and tightened his grip around her soft waist:

"Of course I'm here to see my beloved concubine. What's the matter, is my beloved concubine jealous?"

As he spoke, Ren Xuanyong lifted Ruan Yunheng's chin with one hand and stroked her soft skin teasingly.

"How dare I be jealous? You are the Emperor, so you can see whoever you want.

It's just that the Emperor is accompanying me, and I hope that the Emperor at this moment belongs only to me."

"Oh, you can't even think about the person who treats my beloved concubine?"

"That's not the case. When I heard Your Majesty mention her, I remembered something that frightened me."

"Scared? Why are you afraid? Could it be that Xu Qiao did something to scare my beloved concubine?"

"Yes, you don't know, that day in my Shujing Palace, there was a huge pool of blood."

Blood?

Ren Xuanyong frowned.

Since blood has been seen, it means something big has happened.

But if something big happened, why didn't anyone come to report to him, the Lord of the Nine Palaces?

"What happened? My dear, please tell me in detail."

Seeing that she had attracted the emperor's attention, Ruan Yunheng was planning to take advantage of the situation and tell the emperor about Xu Qiao's disfigurement so that the emperor would give up his thoughts on Xu Qiao.

Before she could open her mouth, she heard a palace servant come to report that the third prince, Xu Qiao and Li Wen had arrived at the gate of Shujing Palace.

Hearing this, Ren Xuanyong could only put the previous question aside temporarily and summon Ren Qingzhou and the other three into the hall.

When his eyes fell on Josie, they paused noticeably.

Then he stared at Qiao Xi's cheek wrapped in white cloth.

It was not until Ren Qingzhou paid his respects to him that he came to his senses and asked him, Xu Qiaoshi and Li Wen to stand up.

"Madam Shufei, please stretch out your hand so I can take your pulse."

Seeing the emperor here, and thinking of what Concubine Ruan Yunheng had said before, that the emperor seemed to have taken a fancy to her, Qiao Xi tried her best to avoid Ren Xuanyong's sight, and even wanted to pretend he didn't exist.

So he thought about treating Concubine Ruan Yunheng as soon as possible and leaving quickly.

In front of the emperor, Ruan Yunheng was quite well-behaved. After hearing what Qiao Xi said, she stretched out her hand in cooperation.

While paying attention to the movements of the two of them, Ren Xuanyong asked in a low voice about his third son who seldom came to the palace.

Half a minute later, Qiao Xi put away the pulse pillow, bowed respectfully to Ruan Yunheng, and then said:

"Madam Shufei, your pulse is normal now. I see that the swelling on your face has almost completely subsided.

Judging from these two factors, you're fine. However, you'll need to consolidate your recovery over the next few days. Remember, maintain a light diet, as you did the previous two days, and avoid taking any other medications."

Ruan Yunheng was very happy to hear that her face had healed. She finally didn't have to wear that veil anymore.

Also, you don’t have to see Concubine De’s smug face.

The most important thing is that she no longer has to worry about losing the emperor's favor.

"Your Majesty, did you hear that? My face is healed. Take a look, is it healed?"

Regardless of the presence of outsiders, Concubine Shu happily threw herself into Ren Xuanyong's arms and told him the good news.

When Ren Xuanyong heard this, he hurriedly looked down at the person in his arms, and found that Ruan Yunheng's face had indeed recovered after taking off the veil. Looking closely, not only did it recover as before, but her skin looked even more tender and smoother than before.

This Xu Qiaoshi was quite capable. But why did she cover her face so tightly?

When he saw her that day, she was not covering her face.

Ren Xuanyong patted the person in his arms and motioned her to get up first.

Then he looked at Qiao Xi and asked:

"Xu Qiao, my beloved concubine's face is healed, but what happened to your face?"

Ruan Yunheng, who was standing aside, couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard Ren Xuanyong ask this question.

She clenched her fists and stared at Qiao Xi without blinking, afraid that she would tell the truth.

You know, in the harem, what the emperor hates most is the concubines causing scandals due to jealousy and thus damaging the dignity of the royal family.

"Oh, Xu Qiao, are you having an allergic reaction again like the last time you entered the palace?"

Without waiting for Qiao Xi to speak, Ruan Yunheng pretended to be surprised and shouted.

Her voice was a little too loud and it was hard not to attract attention.

Qiao Xi couldn't help but glance at her, as if she was aware of the little intention behind her doing so.

She couldn't help but sneer in her heart, but because of the relationship between Xu Yi and Han Yun'an, she didn't point it out to her. Instead, she brought out the explanation she had thought of on the way here:

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty and Consort Shu. The reason I'm covering my face isn't because I'm allergic like before, but because I accidentally injured myself with a dagger while handling herbs at home.

Because the wound was quite deep, it was treated and then bandaged."

"You got a facial injury. That was really careless. But is the wound deep? Will it leave a scar?"

Ren Xuanyong was interested in Qiao Xi because of her face, and secondly because of her graceful figure.

If the face is ugly, what is the use of having a beautiful figure.

People who don’t know the emperor would think that he is a friendly person when they hear this.

But those who knew him well had different opinions.

Ren Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and looked at his father with complicated eyes. He became alert and secretly swore in his heart that he would never let his junior sister follow in his mother's footsteps.
