Cannon Fodder Raiders: Concubine Ai is capricious

Chapter 23
Zhu Haitang couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he heard this, his tone was exactly the same as "the little rabbit I raised sneaked out one day, and I chased him worryingly", so I couldn't help but defend myself: " I'm just a little bored, didn't I tell you before, I think..."

"You don't need to explain," Xia Houjing interrupted her suddenly, with a somewhat ambiguous expression, "I didn't blame Haitang."

So Zhu Haitang shut up knowingly.

As soon as the scene quietened down, the emperor glanced at He Xiaoyun who was standing there with drooping eyes wondering what he was thinking.

Zhu Haitang, who was secretly observing all the changes around him from the corner of her eyes, hurriedly repeated her tricks and coughed twice to divert his attention.

Listening to the movement, Xia Houjing frowned again, lifted Zhu Haitang's delicate chin with one hand, looked at her slightly pale and pale complexion, and said in a low voice with a little dissatisfaction: "Haitang is coughing like this, Yu Does the doctor have a diagnosis?"

He Xiaoyun immediately stepped forward to salute respectfully and said: "I will go to treat your empress later." This is probably the best chance for him to get close to her. Thinking that his sweetheart may have done it on purpose, he couldn't tell in his heart What does it feel like to come, although I know that the other party is looking for me only to discuss with myself sometimes, but it seems good to be a useful person to my sweetheart.

Xia Houjing nodded unrecognizably, then seemed a little dissatisfied, frowned, and slightly tightened the hand holding Zhu Haitang: "If you feel unwell, don't run around, go back to the palace with me first."

Zhu Haitang suddenly felt very bad. Hearing this, how is this different from being grounded? !

So she defended in a flustered voice: "But, my concubine likes to read, it's too boring in the palace..."

"Huh?" The emperor's dangerous voice sounded, and Zhu Haitang fell silent, not daring to speak any more.

This Xia Houjing is a tyrant after all, every moment with him there is always an invisible sense of oppression that makes people breathless, makes people feel unreasonable, and is always worried about his head in the next moment Whether it can still grow on the neck safely.

"Wait, wait, Your Majesty, I want to take this book home... okay?" Zhu Haitang bit the bullet and picked up the book on the table next to her. Looking at the emperor with star-eyed eyes, a pair of peach blossom eyes that are always seductive are full of pleading, which makes people feel soft-hearted.

It doesn't matter if you have to do a full set of acting, not to mention that she is really boring now, this book also has illustrations, and the short stories are also very interesting, and it is also a good thing to pass the time.

Xia Houjing nodded in a strange way: "Okay."

Zhu Haitang's eyes jumped for joy, and a bright light flashed in her eyes.Her easy-to-satisfy look made the two men present stunned for a moment.

With a thought in her mind, Xia Houjing took her hand and walked away as if no one else was there, regardless of the jaw-dropping expressions of everyone present.

Master He, who was left heartbroken all over the place, was still sad and annoyed, and the crowd who were eating melons were shocked in place.

What everyone thinks is that His Majesty has never been close to women, and none of the women in the harem who were lucky enough to serve the bed survived the next day. It is conceivable that the cruelty of this tyrant is nothing to talk about, but this newly promoted Concubine Tang, not only survived the second day in His Majesty's bedroom, but also made His Majesty make an exception for her. First, she was allowed to wear red clothes that could only be worn in the main palace, and then she was allowed to go anywhere in the inner courtyard of the palace. Walking around, and even breaking the rules and directly promoted to concubine, now it can be said that she is almost obedient...

And Mr. He, who is obviously not on the same line with them, thinks—look, what kind of miserable life his sweetheart is living now, and now he can't even do the things he likes, and he is terrified every day When she was by the emperor's side, she didn't even smile as much as before. Thinking of it this way, there was inevitably another dull pain in her heart, and she secretly made up her mind to take her out of the sea of ​​suffering and go far away...

Although everyone and Mr. He are thinking of two extremes, it is actually a relatively objective fact to soften the two.

······
Until He Xiaoyun came to check the pulse with the medical box, Xia Houjing still stayed by Zhu Haitang's bedside.

Zhu Haitang looked at He Xiaoyun, then at the unhappy-looking emperor beside him, opened her mouth, and tried to persuade Xia Houjing to leave: "Your Majesty, you must still have a lot of government affairs to finish, just go and get busy. Don't worry about me...a concubine."

"Why, Haitang mentioned the government affairs, is she planning to share the burden for me?"

This is serious. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. It has been a generally accepted rule in the past dynasties. Which emperor did not change his face when he mentioned this matter. What Xia Houjing said clearly meant that he was dissatisfied with her for nothing, and was blaming her for talking too much.

Now Zhu Haitang didn't dare to act rashly anymore.

Because He Xiaoyun was standing far away, even though the hall was quiet and he could hear their conversation, he just kept his head down, making it difficult for people to see his facial expression, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

Zhu Haitang over there has already responded: "Don't dare, what is your Majesty treating this concubine as? This concubine is just concerned about you."

"It's good to do what you are supposed to do. My Haitang should not worry about the other things."

Zhu Haitang:······
What the hell really gave you a face.

When my old lady is out of the palace, let me fly to the ends of the earth, who cares about your nonsense.

On the surface, he still responded obediently and cleverly: "Yes."

Zhu Haitang swallowed her anger now, originally thinking that even if the tyrant didn't leave, it would be okay for her to secretly make eye contact with Doctor He.

Then as soon as this idea came to her head, Zhu Haitang watched helplessly as the curtains on both sides of her bed were pulled down by the court lady, and the only hand that survived was covered with a layer of white gauze.

Zhu Haitang:······
mmp? !
I really want to curse! ! !
Feeling He Xiaoyun's hand on her wrist, Zhu Haitang rolled her eyes violently and almost twitched, and greeted Xia Houjing's eighteen generations of ancestors one by one.

Just listening to the man's cheap voice: "How?"

He Xiaoyun saluted without being humble and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Madam has been overworked in the past two days, and she has used her voice too much. It is not a serious problem. Wait for the prescription from the minister, and it will be cured after a few days of recuperation. It’s just that it’s better to be more restrained, after all, don’t be in a hurry.”

He was risking the emperor's wrath by advising him not to worry too much about having children.

Zhu Haitang was grateful for hearing that, Mr. He really understood her, woo woo...
