Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

Chapter 350: The imperial concubine of the hero who reads the mind (17)

Views:

As soon as Chu Xiang discovered the emperor, before he had time to do anything, the emperor entered the door.

Seeing her being held hostage, Xiao Yuanzhao's expression changed, and then he calmed down, thinking that she would not get hurt if she did it on purpose. But in the end he was still a little worried, with anger on his face, he stared at Concubine Xi and said word by word: "If you dare to hurt the imperial concubine even a single bit today, I will punish you from the nine clans."

Concubine Xi was stunned for a moment, and then her face was full of jealousy, "You actually did this for her? Why? Just because she saved you? Saving you is what she should do, why do you need to remember her kindness?"

Xiao Yuanzhao stepped forward slowly, "Don't talk too much, the life of your whole family is only in your mind. Do you want to be the sinner of the whole family?"

Concubine Xi's face turned pale, she entered the palace for the sake of the family, how could she destroy the family? However, if she doesn't do this, she will definitely die. She is dead, so what does it matter to her if the family prospers? She can't enjoy anything, why

Thinking of this, the hairpin in Concubine Xi's hand clings even tighter to Chu Xiang's neck. Chu Xiang's original plan was destroyed. She watched the confrontation between the emperor and Concubine Xi and didn't intervene. Instead, she quickly checked the surrounding situation through the universe mirror.

In the end, she was shocked to find that this place was surrounded by groups, and that posture seemed to destroy the regent, enough to make it impossible for the people inside to fly. Especially the emperor's hidden guards guarded several directions tightly. Even if she has cultivated, she has not yet reached the first level of the qi refining stage. She cannot fly into the sky and escape from the ground.

Unable to leave for a while, Chu Xiang gave up this plan and leaned on Concubine Xi to look at Xiao Yuanzhao. Now that Xiao Yuanzhao is here, she will see how Xiao Yuanzhao handles this matter.

Xiao Yuanzhao met Chu Xiang's gaze, and stepped forward again to ask Concubine Xi to release Chu Xiang.

"Stop!" Concubine Xi said coldly, "Anyone who gets close, I'll kill her! Anyway, I'm not going to end well, and I'm going to be a backstop if I die. Your Majesty, I don't want much, I just want you to order me to let me go." Leave the palace, let me spend the rest of my life in Jiangnan, don't embarrass my family, I promise I will never hurt Chu Xiang."

She tensed her body and said quickly: "This will not affect you in any way. My father's official position is gone, and it doesn't matter whether I live or die. Why doesn't the emperor let me go?"

If this decree is made, someone will follow suit in the future, and not only the emperor will be in danger, but all members of the royal family will be in danger. Everyone knows that this precedent cannot be set.

Xiao Yuanzhao narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "You are very courageous."

Concubine Xi opened the corner of her mouth and sneered, "I can do anything to survive!"

"Come here, prepare your pen and ink." Xiao Yuanzhao snorted coldly, with one hand behind his back, he quickly made several gestures.

Liang Zhong immediately responded, lowered his eyes, bowed and retreated. Concubine Xi didn't become suspicious, instead she was surprised and angry, "Are you really willing to agree to my request for her?"

Xiao Yuanzhao stopped talking, and his eyes fell on the golden hairpin. Seeing that Chu Xiang's skin was scratched red, he frowned unconsciously.

Concubine Xi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed loudly, "You are the emperor, and you actually fell in love with him? Are you in love with Chu Xiang? Otherwise, you wouldn't come here at all today, and you wouldn't risk your life. Give orders from a distance. You are worried about her, you are afraid that she will be hurt, and you are so close to me, are you not afraid that I will assassinate you?"

Concubine Li anxiously shouted: "Your Majesty, she is crazy, please stay away from her, Your Majesty, don't hurt you!"

Xiao Yuanzhao was unmoved, seeing Concubine Xi's hand holding the golden hairpin was exerting force, and said coldly: "If the imperial concubine gets hurt, you won't have everything you want."

Concubine Xi closed her smile, her expression became gloomy, she looked at Xiao Yuanzhao, then at Chu Xiang, and sneered, "You have a good trick, and you have won the emperor's heart! But so what? He just hasn't seen many of them. Beauty, in the future... the palace is full of purples and reds, and he will definitely not look at you again when he has a newcomer. Sooner or later, you will be reduced to what I am!"

"Shut up! Mrs. Qi, be presumptuous!" Xiao Yuanzhao's face changed, and he immediately looked at Chu Xiang's expression, but Chu Xiang lowered his head, so he couldn't see anything.

He was a little anxious, Chu Xiang thought he had too many women, and wanted to run away every day, and after listening to Concubine Xi, he was afraid that he would be even more unwilling to stay.

Liang Zhong brought back the pens, inks, papers and inkstones and put them on the table, even the jade seals, and then picked out a pen and presented it to Xiao Yuanzhao. Seeing this, Xiao Yuanzhao knew that Liang Zhong had arranged his order, and this pen was the signal.

He looked up at Concubine Xi, only to see Concubine Xi nervously holding the golden hairpin and staring at this side. He made a gesture of writing, and Concubine Xi subconsciously focused her gaze on the imperial decree. Seizing this opportunity, Xiao Yuanzhao slammed his pen, the roof suddenly broke open, and two dark guards in black fell down. At the same time, Xiao Yuanzhao darted towards Concubine Xi, reached out to grab Chu Xiang, and shouted: "Stop playing, don't hurt yourself!"

Concubine Xi was startled, subconsciously raised her head to dodge, and loosened her hands. Xiao Yuanzhao has already grabbed Chu Xiang's arm.

Chu Xiang was surprised. Does the emperor mean that he believes that she can escape? Why? Because she saved him in the lake? So he thought she was capable

Chu Xiang decided to stand still, and only hid for a while when Concubine Xi reacted, leaning against Xiao Yuanzhao's arms and quickly retreating after him. In just an instant, the two hidden guards had already grabbed Concubine Xi and firmly controlled her on the ground.

Xiao Yuanzhao held Chu Xiang's shoulders and looked her up and down, worried: "Is there no injury? Is there any discomfort?"

Chu Xiang thought about what Concubine Xi said that he loved her just now, and seeing him like this felt a little strange again, and shook his head and said: "I'm not uncomfortable, the emperor came in time, if the emperor came a little later, I will suffer."

Xiao Yuanzhao looked at her twice, and snorted coldly in his heart, if he came a moment later, she would run away without a trace.

Holding Chu Xiang's shoulders, he turned to look at Concubine Xi with a condensed expression, "Put her down. Concubine Xi assassinated me and the imperial concubine, and put the entire Qi family in prison for strict interrogation."

"You can't! You—" Concubine Xi was knocked unconscious as soon as she yelled. Two hidden guards dragged her away, and everyone who saw them took a few steps back.

This was the first time they knew that the emperor had hidden guards. After the crisis was resolved, they were a little scared facing the emperor, and they didn't even dare to speak to the third concubine.

Chu Xiang looked at him, her heart moved slightly, she didn't expect that he would dispatch secret guards to save her. In such a situation just now, it was very difficult to save her unharmed, but the hidden guards were agile and caught Concubine Xi by surprise, which was naturally different from the guards.

Also, Xiao Yuanzhao went to pull her in person at that time, and was so close to Concubine Xi, if Concubine Xi waved the golden hairpin in a panic, it was possible to hurt him. Why did he save her like this

Xiao Yuanzhao knew what she was thinking, and felt depressed for a while. Why else? Of course you don't want her to get hurt? Heartless!

But at that time he did it without much thought. Thinking about it rationally, he didn't even know why he saved her like this. Concubine Xi said that he had a real affection for Chu Xiang. After all, it had some influence on him. Now he faces Chu Xiang There was just a little bit of discomfort.

He looked down at Chu Xiang, and asked softly, "Are you startled? Go back, I'll call the imperial doctor to show you."

Chu Xiang nodded, seeing that the three concubines were about to leave, she immediately became anxious. Concubine Hui seemed worried and said: "What the emperor said is very true. You must see your mother well. Your daughter's body is the future mother of the country, so there must be no mistakes."

Xiao Yuanzhao paused, "Mother of the future?"

Concubine Jin said from the side: "The empress has told us the good news just now, the emperor is going to make empress the empress. The courtiers and concubines are all happy for the empress, but the Qi family was stimulated, so..."

The two of them explained the matter of Chu Xiang showing off his successor in a few words. Since the emperor did not publicly express his position, it means that this matter has not yet been decided. Isn't it inappropriate for Chu Xiang to show off in private

Xiao Yuanzhao knew what the two of them were up to. He lowered his head and chuckled, looked at Chu Xiang and said, "You are impatient. Just after I finished talking to you, you told them. It's okay, I will mention it in the court tomorrow and let the Ministry of Rites prepare it."

"Okay." Chu Xiang smiled at him, glanced at the slightly shocked Concubine Jin and Concubine Hui, and left with Xiao Yuanzhao.

She knew what they were shocked about. They didn't expect Xiao Yuanzhao to love her so much, as if he didn't care about anything and indulged her in everything. Not to mention them, she didn't even think about it, she thought Xiao Yuanzhao would be at least a little unhappy.

If Xiao Yuanzhao liked her, she didn't think much of it. As soon as she came, Xiao Yuanzhao "spoiled" her like this, and every time he mentioned the concubine, he didn't say any love words. Those scumbag emperors would occasionally say some love words to those they love, right? It is not until there is a new man that the old man is left behind. Is Xiao Yuanzhao a restrained type

The two rode the dragon together, Xiao Yuanzhao kept his expression serious and listened to the wild thoughts in her heart. Suddenly, she found that she was suspicious of him.

Chu Xiang leaned against Xiao Yuanzhao's arms with his eyes closed, but observed his expression with the Qiankun mirror. Wondering why he came here suddenly, his posture didn't seem like he was afraid of her being bullied, but rather... afraid of her running away.

She is the only one who knows about this matter in this world, how did he know about it

There are many coincidences, and there will always be some unusual traces. Chu Xiang began to recall the details of the two of them getting along little by little.

She drank tea once and felt that the taste was not good, so she put it down and did not move again. Later, she accidentally heard from the palace that Xiao Yuanzhao ordered someone to throw away the tea, but Xiao Yuanzhao didn't drink the tea at all.

Every time Xiao Yuanzhao saw her, he would hold her hand; every time he had a meal, he would sit next to her; several times he was inexplicably unhappy...

A lot of details, I didn't care about them at the time, and I didn't pay attention to them. Now that I think about it, it seems that something is about to come out, but I can't think of that point.

Chu Xiang frowned slightly, and went through all the details carefully again, and then found that Xiao Yuanzhao's body tensed up.

Xiao Yuanzhao was nervous, he felt that he was exposed, no one wanted to let others know that he had such a strange ability, his heart beat a little faster. But he was also curious, how did Chu Xiang know his expression with his eyes closed? Could it be - like him, she also has a strange ability

He thought that the Chuxiang people were in the palace, but they knew many things. He couldn't find Chu Xiang's power at all. Maybe Chu Xiang had no power at all, but had an ability to check the situation anywhere at will.

His heart tightened, wouldn't Chu Xiang know what he was doing at any time? But then there was a very secret joy in his heart, it was the joy of finding the same kind, the joy of having a companion.

It is unusual that he is the only one special in the world, but if both of them are special, they are companions.

If Chu Xiang is his companion...

He felt happy just thinking about it.
