Chapter 166 (1/2)
Xiaoyi tied her hair in panic. ”The maidservant can't read it wrong. Now the guard at the door is sleepy and doesn't wake up.”
Just waiting for Su Rushan to ask a few more questions in an incredulous tone. Meng Qianchong came in from the door. ”Your guard really hasn't sobered up yet. I don't know when I'm here. It seems that I need to change a new batch.”
Su Rushuang hasn't seen him for a long time. She's a little flustered when she sees him. He could hardly stand still, and his freshly combed hair was scattered again. He fell loosely to his shoulder. Like a handful of seaweed.
”Don't salute. I came all of a sudden.” Meng Qianzhong sat on his couch and asked Chen Wanqian to step back outside the door. ”I knew you couldn't sleep.”
Su Rushuang was stunned. Strange way: ”how does the emperor know that my concubine can't sleep?”
”I got married yesterday. You must have kept your eyes open until dawn,” Meng Qianchong said with a faint smile. ”That's why I came to Huayang palace to see you.”
Su Rushan ignored his mocking smile. Bit her pale lips, ”isn't the emperor with imperial concubine Chen? Why did she come to Huayang palace again? Imperial concubine Chen won't see the emperor when she wakes up. She will be very sad.”
Meng Qianzhong got closer, ”then you haven't seen me for three months. Are you hurt?”
Su Rushuang lowered her eyes, ”this is my concubine who should be punished. My concubine is willing.”
”Is this the truth?” Meng Qianchong raised his eyebrows. ”It's kind of me to lock you up for three months. Don't provoke concubine Wan again in the future. After all, she is the mother of two children,” he continued, ”let alone provoke everything in Donghua palace, understand?”
Su Rushuang's heart was mixed, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. ”I understand that I won't make such a stupid mistake again.”
”Just understand,” Meng Qianzhong nodded with satisfaction. ”The new imperial concubine Chen is the same. She represents the state of Qin. It has special significance. Don't be confused.”
Su Rushuang pursed her lips and said indifferently, ”I understand.”
”Also,” Meng Qianzhong touched his chin and said thoughtfully, ”I want to ask you something else. Do you remember Mu Jiajun before?”
Su Rushuang frowned, unwilling to snort coldly, ”didn't the emperor ask his concubine not to provoke everything about Donghua palace? How could he break his words and mention Mu's army?”
”I'm asking you,” Meng Qianzhong said irresistibly. ”You just have to answer my question.”
Su Rushuang lowered his head again and gently pulled at the corners of his mouth, ”I remember very clearly.”
Meng Qianzhong narrowed his eyes dangerously. ”Does anyone in Mu's army have a Begonia birthmark at the end of his eye, do you remember?”
”Birthmark?” Su Rushuang blinked, carefully searching for this person's figure in her mind. ”It seems that general Xie's daughter was born with a birthmark, like a flower. I don't know whether it is at the end of her eyes or the corner of her eyes.”
”Indeed,” Meng Qianzhong's eyes darkened. ”The Poyang princess also has such a birthmark at the end of her eyes. I think anyone has such a birthmark on his face.”
Su Rushan said dumbly, ”Your Majesty, but Xie Yingmei, the daughter of general Xie, has been buried in the battlefield with Mu's army. It is impossible to escape.”
”Hehe,” Meng Qianzhong chuckled, ”do you think I think Princess Poyang is a fake princess? The one who married me yesterday is Xie Yingmei. Do you think it's possible?”
Su Rushuang broke his silver teeth. ”It's impossible. It's my concubine.”
”I just want to ask you such a question. I don't remember it. Your body seems to have lost some weight. Why, didn't you have enough to eat and drink during the time of foot ban?”
Xiaoyi saw that the imperial concubine was pale and her whole body trembled slightly. She knew that she had not recovered from her foot ban. She begged: ”emperor, my mother had a serious illness during her foot ban.”
”Really, how could the imperial concubine be so weak,” Meng Qian stared at Su Rushuang with thoughtful eyes. ”Don't play tricks again and deliberately don't answer my questions.”
Xiaoyi shakily took a bowl from the table, and there were some drug residues left. ”Emperor, my mother is really ill. She didn't have a good rest yesterday. The imperial doctor said it would take a while to get well.”
Meng Qianzhong's eyes always fell on Su Rushuang's indifferent face. He didn't look at Xiao Yi's hands. He raised his eyelids and looked tired. ”It turned out that you are really ill. Then you should have a good rest. I'll go back to the study and approve the folding.”
