Text 075 She outside the Golden Throne (6)
Is it because he loves his good eighth brother more? Or does he think Shangguan Jinghong is the master of this country? In this palace, how many people can invite Concubine Zhuang? It must be the ninth brother who intervened.
He sneered and glanced at King Xia.
She seemed to be very close to his ninth brother. Did she tell Shangguan Jingcong about the deal between them? It doesn't matter if there was one or not. Originally, they were brothers, and everyone understood that no one would submit to the other. Therefore, no one cared about who gained or lost behind the scenes. The main thing was to be a brotherly friend in front of the emperor! However, Qiaochu, although you have taken refuge in the palace for the time being, I can't touch you for the time being, but I will not let you go.
On the other side, Lang Linling walked out of the crowd, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhuang, since Your Majesty has granted Linling a marriage, Linling is now the daughter-in-law of Concubine Chang. I think it's time for me to pay my respects to Concubine Chang, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
Ken Qiaochu's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze, which had originally been observing Prince Rui, slowly shifted to Lang Linling. A marriage
Lang Linling seemed to notice her gaze and turned sideways to smile at her.
Qiao Chu was startled by the gray cloak on the woman. It must be Shangguan Jinghong's cloak.
On the day of the rape, she was still in Prince Rui's residence, and Eunuch Mo came to announce the decree, asking her to go to the Crown Prince's residence.
Later, she and he were both in a hurry, he to the palace, she to the prince's mansion to see that man. So when he asked her to wait for him, she could not wait to get on the carriage, and he said "let's go".
When the carriage had gone a distance, she saw him limping after her, holding a cloak. He finally stopped while running, and stood in the wind and snow, quietly watching her go away.
Concubine Zhuang was also startled. King Xia smiled and said, "Mother, you are late. You don't know yet that father has granted marriage to Eighth Brother and Miss Lang, and promoted Miss Lang to be Eighth Brother's first concubine."
Concubine Zhuang lowered her eyes, but soon smiled again and said, "That's great news."
The four men following behind Qiaochu exchanged glances with the beauty beside him and looked secretly at their master.
Qiaochu suddenly felt a little confused.
Looking around, I was watching a good show, but the suffocating feeling brought by the gazes patrolling over me was nothing compared to the slight blockage and confusion in my heart.
But there was no her in Shangguan Jinghong's eyes.
He glanced at Prince Xia and Concubine Zhuang, then fixed his eyes on Lang Linling who was kneeling on the ground reporting. His gentle, calm and far-reaching gaze was somewhat similar to the one he gave her when he performed surgery on her that day.
She suddenly thought, if, just if, if he really loved her,
Was it because she was too proud of herself when she left Prince Rui's Mansion, or was it because she deliberately pointed the wrong finger at him and pushed him away when she was assassinated
In a trance, I only heard the emperor say that it was rare that girl Ling was so filial, so she should go with Concubine Zhuang.
Later, the crowd moved and she brushed past him in the crowd.
She asked in a low voice, "Are you feeling better?"
He seemed to say "hmm" lightly, and then nothing more was said, and they each dispersed in the crowd.
Night, the imperial palace, Chuyun Palace.
Putting the small palace lantern on the threshold, Qiaochu took the broom from the four and walked to a corner of the hall to start sweeping. The four and the beauty also went to their own places and started to work.
The dim light still revealed a messy, dusty room with cobwebs everywhere. This was the former residence of Concubine Chang, the biological mother of Prince Rui.
At the door, there were still some candles and burnt black paper money. During the day, under the guidance of Concubine Zhuang, she and Lang Linling came here to offer sacrifices. The eunuch opened the door, but no one came in. Only a simple ceremony was held at the door. Originally, the sacrifice was just an excuse for her to enter the palace, and a simple ceremony was enough.
Concubine Zhuang was very smart. She used this inconspicuous method to bring her in.
In the letter she wrote to King Xia, she only asked him to ask his mother for help so that she could enter the palace to wait for marriage. Apart from that, she didn't say anything else and didn't let him know that she was trying to avoid the crown prince. Some things are better left simple.
However, a casual glance at the place during the day made her feel uncomfortable with its dilapidated state. Everything here showed that the emperor's love for Concubine Chang was just like a cloud of smoke. If he really loved her, how could he bear to let her residence fall into decay
At night, she woke up the two maids and came quietly to clean the place. It was hard to tell whether it was for Shangguan Jinghong or just for this beautiful but ill-fated woman.
"Master, you are so unfair. You asked the beauty to do two important tasks, delivering a letter to King Xia and a letter to the crown prince. The task you gave me was just to pack up the valuables overnight—" Four loud voices suddenly sounded from behind.
The beauty snorted coldly, "You were asked to deliver a letter? Prince Xia's palace is not close. Are you fast enough? The Golden Throne Hall is heavily guarded. If something goes wrong, like during the day, can you fight?"
The four laughed dryly, "Master is really smart. The allocation of manpower is very appropriate."
She paused and said with a smile, "You don't have to tease me on purpose, I'm fine."
"That's strange, Master, are you sad about the prince's matter?"
She was stunned for a moment before she said, "No."
Si Da jumped over and hugged her, "That's right. But, Master, I really don't understand why you do this?"
The broom in his hand slipped and Qiaochu smiled bitterly.
Why do this
Maybe she really changed, she began to know how to protect herself. When he offered the price, she had already made the decision.
She had a thousand ways to reject him, but she chose to let him know the answer in front of the crowd, making him angry and lose his composure. Moreover, soon Concubine Zhuang came over and found an excuse for her to leave the Prince's Mansion. In this way, even if he wanted to settle accounts with her, he couldn't do it for the time being.
Only in this way would it be enough to arouse his anger towards her. Only in this way would she have no way out.
If she continued to get entangled with him, she could foresee the outcome: she would love him again and get hurt again.
If she came for Qin Ge's life and death, then after he ascended the throne, she would try to change the time of his life and death. Or, as she had originally thought and had accidentally mentioned to the four beauties, she would prevent him from ascending the throne. As for her cheap love, she didn't dare to sacrifice it again. If she was hurt again, she would only die. Although Linlang's compensation was beautiful, the reality was cruel.
Moreover, although she could not see clearly the Prince Rui, he had saved the beauty and treated her well. Although she did not know whether it was true or false, she would rather take it seriously and did not want to harm him.

Text 076 Wedding Night (1)
Ming^Book In this world, there are many things she cannot possess, but since she has come to this world, just like what she once said to Shangguan Jinghao, she hopes that the love and friendship can be sincere, that's all. Please visit this site
At this time, Si Da asked in a low voice: "Master, since you have decided to leave the Crown Prince's Mansion, why don't you ask King Rui for help? Didn't you decide to marry him? Look, he treats you very well, he should help you."
Qiaochu sighed slightly. Yes, in fact, she didn't have to enter the palace to get married. As long as she could leave the Prince's Mansion, she could get married anywhere. She could ask Prince Rui to help her, but if he asked the emperor to let her leave the Prince's Mansion, it would definitely anger the emperor.
The Xia king was much easier to deal with. The Crown Prince, Xian, Xia, and Ning kings were constantly fighting overtly and covertly. In secret, no one cared about offending anyone, as long as they didn't break up their brotherhood in front of the emperor.
She was asked to explain it to the four in a low voice.
Hearing this, the four said in a daze, "I see. But if this happens, the prince will definitely not help us anymore. What about Madam's matter?"
The beauty interrupted her coldly, "Do you think the prince will really help the master? If he loves our master, how can he tolerate other men touching her? If he doesn't love her, helping the lady is something that can only be resolved by sending troops and fighting. Why would he go to such great lengths to help us?"
The cunning man smiled, turned around and patted the beauty on the shoulder. Regarding Miluo's matter, she was indeed not naive enough to think that Shangguan Jinghao would help her.
The four threw away the rag in their hands and sat down on the ground, their faces wrinkled. "What should we do? The master played a trick on Prince Rui last time. He must think that there is something unclear between the master and the prince. Will he help us?"
Qiaochu held the broom tightly. Yes, would Shangguan Jinghong believe that there was no connection between her and the prince? The only people who knew about the breakup outside the Jinluan Palace today were her and Shangguan Jinghao.
So, she could only gamble.
The imperial decree has been issued and cannot be changed; she must help her mother and her tribe. Since she participated in the imperial concubine selection competition and became his concubine, she should bear the consequences of the karma she planted with her own hands. Although Miluo is not her real mother, she has been living with her day and night for these years. She has received the family love that she did not get from her parents before from Miluo. She has long regarded her as her mother. Miluo is her responsibility and she cannot escape.
Changing Shangguan Jinghao's fate, thereby changing Qin Ge's fate in that world; marrying King Rui and treating him well, in exchange for his help to Miluo. These two options are the paths she will take in this prosperous world.
After the trip to the Prince's Mansion, all the beautiful dreams that she had buried deep in her heart and would only think about quietly when she walked to the depths of the desert or went to sleep were shattered. She no longer thought about love, and she didn't dare to think about it.
However, the tricky thing is that the sacrificial text on the Dongling Tomb only contains the time of King Dongling's death. She doesn't know when King Dongling will ascend the throne, and she doesn't know whether her heart disease can survive her prime years.
I'm afraid she will have to choose the second method to break the original butterfly effect and let Qin Ge be reborn, that is, to change the person who ascends the throne and prevent Shangguan Jinghao from ascending the throne. However, she is just a small chess piece in this struggle for imperial power. Can she do it
Make him unable to succeed to the throne? Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. It turned out that it was destined from the beginning that she and Shangguan Jinghao could not be together. How could they still be together when she tried to destroy the man's greatest wish
It’s good that I’ve made this decision today. Now, all I can do is move on.
She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, stop talking, pack up quickly and go back."
Si Da curled his lips and said, "Master, do you have to come here in the dark to work? Can't you do it in broad daylight tomorrow? People always say good things don't come out, but you are sneaking around. You should tell Shangguan Jinghong and let him know how good you are."
Qiaochu smiled and shook her head. It was just something beyond her ability. What credit could she deserve for doing the little thing she wanted to do for him
She was suddenly startled. What was she trying to do for him? She came here to clean, not for Concubine Chang, but was vaguely thinking about him
At this moment, the beauty suddenly cried out "Ah!" and then she knelt on the ground and pulled something out from under a table.
She and the four men leaned over to take a look and saw that it was a small bow with a huge pearl tied to the bowstring. It was obvious from the appearance that the pearl was priceless.
Several people looked at each other, and suddenly Si Da shouted, bent down and dug out a few more pearls from under the table.
"What's going on?" she asked in surprise.
"That's what happened," Qiaochu sighed, reached out to grab the small bow, pulled the string to its full length, and the beads flew forward with a "whoosh".
"This was probably a toy that King Rui played with when he was a child." Qiao Chu added, looking at the pearls falling in the distance.
The four were shocked and said, "Using pearls to make marbles?"
The beauty smiled coldly, "This stuff is enough to support an ordinary family's food for eight to ten years."
What's the use of precious pearls? Qiaochu shook his head, "How glorious it was in the past, how lonely it is today."
But Si Da's eyes sparkled and he said with a smile, "Master, let's take the pearl away."
Qiaochu slapped her and said, "Put the pearl back to its original place."
She looked at the slingshot in her hand and put it in her arms. One day, if she had the chance,
