The Four Concubines

"What kind of injection did you give her just now!" Changsun Wugou sternly looked at Number Seven.

"It didn't hurt her, it just made her feel more comfortable in her dream," Number Seven said.

Zhou Si got up, "Let me take a look." Zhou Si took Yun Xiao's hand, pressed his fingertips, then touched the back of his neck, heaved a sigh of relief, looked at his eldest grandson Wugou and asked, "What is this?" How many times is it?"

The eldest grandson Wugou lowered his head and recalled, "It should be the fourth time, two nights, plus the one just now, this time should be the fourth time."

Zhou Si looked at Yun Xiao's expression again, and nodded, "Emperor Daqin is really powerful."

"What?" Changsun Wugou asked hastily.

"Fingers are very relaxed, in a natural sleep state, the temperature of the back of the neck is not too high, nor is it very cold, the whole person's mental state is very stable, she is very powerful, not only has not been driven crazy, but also is still adapting." Zhou Si explained .

Changsun Wugou heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing the words.

However, Xiao Chuo put his eyes on Luo Shui who started to "wander" at some point, and moved in front of her without a trace, blocking her.

The eldest grandson Wugou turned around and said to everyone except them, "You guys go out first."

The dark guard and the two personal maids withdrew.

Changsun Wugou looked at Number Seven on the ground with a calm expression.

"Is there anything else you want to ask, Empress?" Number Seven turned his eyes away, not looking at his eldest grandson Wugou.

"I'm just curious why you didn't tell your father Yun Xiao's identity, don't you have a lot of opportunities?" Changsun Wugou said softly.

Number Seven smiled miserably, and his lower lip trembled slightly, "I also think I should tell my father that Emperor Daqin is a woman..."

"But I don't think it should be..."

A moment of confusion flashed in No. [-]'s eyes, "My mother told me that it's not easy for a woman to live in the world, she can't choose to be born, she can't choose to marry, she can't choose how to live."

"So she took me out, escaped from that place, started again, and she said she hoped I could live a little bit happier."

Number Seven said this, paused, and said in a low tone, "I didn't understand at that time, when I understood a little bit, my mother was gone, and my father and I didn't have any father-daughter relationship. I only helped him because , he is my father."

"But...the appearance of the emperor has broken all my previous cognitions. She is obviously a woman, but she dares to take the throne. She is a woman, but she dares to say what the world does not dare to say, and it is impossible to do what the world does."

"Only a few years after ascending the throne, Great Qin has changed. The people are prosperous and the court is clear."

"She's a good emperor." Number Seven chuckled twice, then turned his gaze to the eldest grandson Wugou, "You must not know how the emperor spent the past few years, lighting the lamps and cooking oil until the third watch every day, and the daylight You have to arrange various affairs in various places, but what are you doing at that time? Sleeping peacefully in your Weiyang Palace, closing the palace gate, admiring the flowers and planting the grass, how comfortable it is..."

"She cares about you so much, she definitely won't tell you..." No. [-] lowered her head and murmured.

Changsun Wugou's heart tightened when he heard the words, the hand holding Yun Xiao trembled slightly, but he firmly did not let go.During those three years she...

"Why do you say these things now?" Xiao Chuo suddenly said, "These things have nothing to do with you."

Number Seven shook his head indifferently, "Yes, it has nothing to do with me."

"I saw other possibilities from the emperor. One is not the possibility that my mother said. Women can also do what they want. The emperor has done it... but I can't. I have thought about it countless times. When I return to Pinglang and become Pinglang's saint, can I do so well and be so outstanding like the emperor."

"But I know I can't fight against Wufeng... I didn't tell him the identity of the emperor, but I still have some selfish intentions..."

No. [-] put his eyes on Yun Xiao who had his eyes closed tightly, his eyes softened for a moment, "If it were the emperor, Ping Lang should also become better."

There is also a bit of selfishness... No. [-] glanced at the eldest grandson Wugou who was restless and anxious, with eyes full of self-blame, lowered his head, and did not speak again.

Xiao Chuo frowned even more after listening to No. [-]'s narration, "It's not like you don't know about Yun Xiao's temper. If you mention it to her directly, she will help you too. Why do you have to do this?"

No. [-] was taken aback when he heard this question, and then replied after a while, "Just treat me as loving my homeland."

Xiao Chuo raised his eyebrows. According to the land boundary, Pinglang is indeed not as vast as Liaojiang and Guangxia, and it is even more incomparable with Daqin. If No. [-] mentions it, even if Yun Xiao is willing to help, the fastest way is to directly send troops to conquer it by force. No. [-] said It is also true to love the homeland.

But she always felt that there was something else.

"You..." Xiao Chuo still wanted to ask, but his hanging hand was suddenly pulled from behind.

Xiao Chuo turned his head and saw Luo Shui looking at him expressionlessly and shaking his head, Xiao Chuo didn't continue to ask.

On the contrary, No. [-] spoke again, "I know that my crime is unforgivable, but if possible, can you bury me back to Pinglang?"

"I promise you." Chen Wei who was at the side suddenly said.

Chen Wei looked at No. [-], "You save me once in Pingcheng. In return, if you die in Daqin, I will have your bones brought back to Pinglang."

Number Seven smiled at Chen Wei, "You don't have much Gu left on your body, Miss Zhou will help you get rid of it."

Number Seven turned to look at Zhou Si again, and exhorted as if telling his last words, "Don't go back to Pinglang, and don't listen to Wufeng, no matter what he tells you, don't believe it, I am your predecessor, But I don't want you to go my way."

After No. [-] finished speaking, he took a slow breath, closed his eyes without care, and waited for their verdict on him.

"Number one." Xiao Chuo said.

No. [-] heard the sound and entered, Xiao Chuo looked at No. [-] on the ground, and tightened Luo Shui's hand. Luo Shui's fingers lifted a little, and No. [-]'s froze body relaxed.

"Take her and take good care of her. No one else can see her except you, and you can't torture her." Changsun Wugou said suddenly.

Number Seven suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhangsun Wugou in disbelief.

Didn't kill her?

The eldest grandson Wugou turned his head and stared at Yunxiao.

Number One cupped his fists and quietly left with Number Seven.

Zhou Si, who ate melon for a long time, felt surprised, "You didn't kill her?"

The eldest grandson Wugou stretched the blanket for Yun Xiao, and said quietly, "If Yun Xiao knew, she probably wouldn't have killed her."

Chen Gui let out a sigh of relief, "He is also a poor man."

Luo Shui didn't comment.

Xiao Chuo didn't speak either.

The courtyard was quiet for a while.

In the end, Xiao Chuo spoke first, looked at Zhou Si and said, "Why did Wu Feng call you here? Since we agreed to your conditions, shouldn't you also be open and honest?"

"Of course." Zhou Si nodded, "He just arranged for me to go to the south of the Yangtze River. He said that I would know what I was going to do when the time came, and then sent me a letter saying that the emperor would see me within three days after I arrived at the palace. It is time to ask me to help restrain Emperor Qin, but it cannot be cured."

Zhou Si paused when he said this, "But since it's a seven-day Gu, he probably didn't even think about asking me to cure it."

"Wu Feng also said that the current pillar of Daqin is Emperor Qin. Emperor Qin can't be killed but can't stay. Killing him will lead to Daqin's craziest revenge. If she doesn't kill her, Pinglang will fall sooner or later."

"So we have to use this Gu, you, to save Yun Xiao's life, but make her unable to do anything else, right?" Xiao Chuo concluded.

"En." Zhou Si responded, thought for a while and then looked at the elder grandson Wugou and said, "I don't know about the secret guard, but she should be thinking of Emperor Qin. It’s Gu country again, I don’t know what danger I will encounter if I go there rashly.”

The eldest grandson Wugou's gaze remained unchanged, still looking at Yunxiao.

The courtyard was quiet again.

Chen Gui looked around for a week, stepped forward proactively, and said to Zhou Si, "I'm not feeling well, can Miss Zhou come with me and take a look for me."

Zhou Si glanced at Chen Wei, and looked fine, but thought that Chen Wei still had Gu in his body, so she nodded without thinking.

Chen Wei exchanged glances with Xiao and Luo, nodded slightly, and left with Zhou Si.

When there were only four people left in the courtyard, Xiao Chuo pulled Luo Shui to the side beside her, and asked, "How is Xiao Yun?" He didn't ask what Luo Shui was doing just now, Without asking how Luo Shui did it, Xiao Chuo asked the result directly.

"It's okay, quite stable." Luo Shui said flatly, the answer was similar to what Zhou Si gave.

Xiao Chuo turned his head and looked at Luo Shui carefully, "Are you okay?"

Hearing the worry in Xiao Chuo's tone, Luo Shui smiled, "It's fine."

Xiao Chuo looked away, thinking to himself why is this man smiling so nicely, although he thought so in his heart, but his face was obviously full of smiles.

Luo Shui's smile remained undiminished, but he caught sight of Changsun Wugou and Yun Xiao, the corners of his mouth were still closed, his eyes became deeper, and he took Xiao Chuo's hand, "Come with me to meet Yun Liang, Go check out his recent progress."

Xiao Chuo saw Luo Shui aiming at Changsun Wugou and Yun Xiao from the corner of his eye, and immediately realized what she meant, and responded, "Okay, let's go and have a look." After speaking, he pulled Luo Shui away voluntarily .

After leaving the gate of Weiyang Palace, Xiao Chuo was still a little worried, "Just leave Wugou there, there won't be any problem."

Luo Shui smiled, "Don't worry, nothing will happen, trust me."

Only then did Xiao Chuo nod, "Then I'll go back first..."

"Come on, come back to Luoshen Palace with me." Luo Shui couldn't help but pull people towards Luoshen Palace.

"Ah?" Xiao Chuo didn't realize it for a while, "Isn't that just an excuse?"

"But you agreed." Luo Shui looked back at Xiao Chuo with a smug expression on his face.

Xiao Chuo tried to struggle a few times, but he was not Luo Shui's "opponent" at all, so he "compromised" and let her go...

It was rare for Weiyang Palace to be so quiet. After Xiao Chuo and Luo Shui left, the eldest grandson Wugou who had been suppressing his emotions was finally released.

In an instant, tears fell on the ground as if she didn't want money, she looked at Yun Xiao with tears in her eyes, and was afraid of disturbing her sleep, so she bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from making a sound.

She hates it!Hate myself for escaping before, hate myself for knowing this too late, and hate Yun Xiao... As long as she thinks of Yun Xiao's heartache and pain behind her smiling face, she can't stop crying.

Why not tell her?Why do you have to carry yourself no matter what?

Yun Xiao... why are you so cruel to yourself...

"Why are you crying again?" Changsun Wugou cried uncontrollably, but suddenly heard Yunxiao's voice.

As soon as she raised her head, a hand stroked her face.Yun Xiao slowly and carefully wiped away the tears from Changsun Wugou's face, but Changsun Wugou cried even harder looking at Yun Xiao who was smiling lightly.

Yun Xiao helplessly pulled the man to her side, sat him on her lap, wiped the tears with her hands non-stop, and couldn't help muttering, "Why do you wipe more and more, knowing you It’s made of water, so you don’t need to prove it to me.”

The eldest grandson Wugou turned his face away, and bit his lip firmly, not letting the tears continue to fall.But the person under him seemed to have clairvoyant eyes to know what the eldest grandson Wugou was doing, forcibly turned her gaze away, and said with a dissatisfied face, "Quickly release it! I'll bleed again!"

The tears of the eldest grandson Wugou swirled in the circles of his eyes again, Yun Xiao frowned helplessly, pulled the eldest grandson Wugou over, and kissed him directly.

The author has something to say:

I have always heard people around say that when you like someone, you will not be willing to complain to him, because before you can complain, you want to say "I like you" when you see him.

There is a storm in my heart, but seeing you is a sunny day.

Just like this feeling, good things will be shared with you, and bad things, I can solve them so I don’t want to bother you. In a hundred years of life, one-fifth of the time is waiting to meet you, and the remaining four-fifths, what? I don't want you to be unhappy.
