After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

It was two days later that Yan Yu found out that Concubine Jin had fallen ill after being punished by the Queen to kneel in the cold wind that day.

Although Concubine Jin was a concubine, people in the palace were all opportunistic and acted according to the situation. When they saw that the emperor did not favor her, they became much colder towards her. After she fell ill, people around her were also perfunctory. They only asked the imperial physician to take a look and prescribe two doses of medicine.

Xiao Qirui's injuries have almost healed, at least at first glance there is nothing wrong with him, and he starts walking around the palace again.

As the Zheng family was severely weakened, his power in the previous dynasty became increasingly unstable. Unlike Xiao Chengji, he was not assigned a powerful position by the emperor, so his will was somewhat depressed.

Most importantly, Wanli is gone.

The whole person disappeared without a trace, just like rain disappearing in the water.

Ma Xiao should know where Wanli went, because he looked calm and unhurried.

Due to the past grudge between Xiao Qirui and the Ma family, he couldn't ask Ma Xiao directly.

These days, Zheng went to the palace every day to pay her respects and meet Queen Dowager Zheng.

Xiao Qirui had nothing to say to her.

He had already regretted his marriage to Zheng.

On the surface, the emperor and Xiao Chengji did not do anything to the Zheng family, as if everything was the Zheng family's own fault.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that every move these two made was against the Zheng family's weak spot, cutting off their future.

Once the two old guys, Queen Mother Zheng and Zheng Can, passed away, the Zheng family's luck would be over.

If Xiao Qirui had known that the Zheng family would decline so quickly, he would never have married Zheng. Instead, he would have married a woman whose family had greater influence and who could help him more.

But Zheng was his principal wife, and it was difficult to avoid her no matter what he did.

Zheng was like a thorn in Xiao Qirui's heart, reminding him all the time and telling him how stupid the choice he had made was.

Of course Xiao Qirui would not blame himself, he would only think that everything was Zheng's fault.

Zheng began to feel very lonely.

These were no way to entertain herself. Even though she sat in front of the Queen Mother every day, laughing and chatting, when she returned to her own house at night, it was cold all around and she would fall into deep loneliness.

In fact, she is not even twenty years old yet, and the best period of her youth has just begun, but she already feels that her life is about to end, and she can see the end at a glance.

She didn't dare to imagine what her life would be like when the Queen Mother and her grandfather died.

The Seventh Prince did not like Zheng, and the servants and concubines in the mansion all saw the clues.

The favored concubine began to boldly make requests in front of Zheng. The servants were afraid that the Seventh Prince would think they were more loyal to Zheng, so they became somewhat distant from her.

Even the maids and nannies that Zheng brought back from the Zheng family.

At the beginning, the maids and nannies were very concerned about her and taught her how to win back the heart of the Seventh Master.

Later, all the maids slept with the Seventh Prince, and each of them had her own little thoughts.

The maids saw that the Seventh Prince was not a man who could be easily manipulated, so they began to cower like turtles.

The Seventh Prince did not eat the whole day today and stayed in the study.

How can a person live without food? His body will be damaged by hunger.

No one else dared to persuade the Seventh Prince to go to dinner. Zheng was the principal wife, and she had to speak when it was time to speak. She went anyway.

These days Zheng has to show up in front of the Queen Mother, but the Seventh Prince refuses to fight with her.

Zheng whispered softly, "Seventh Master, dinner is ready, please go and have dinner."

Xiao Qirui stood by the window and looked out.

There's nothing nice to see outside. All I see are those trees, those rocks, those plum blossoms.

Zheng said it several times before Xiao Qirui slowly turned his head.

There was nothing in his narrow and cold eyes, but Zheng was still frightened and took two steps back.

Xiao Qirui didn't say anything to her and walked out.

The window was wide open, and the cold wind blew in from outside, making the entire study room completely without any warmth.

The papers on the table were blown all over the floor, and the brushes, inkstones, ink sticks and other items were also placed in a mess.

Zheng sighed and went forward to clean up.

She washed the brush and inkstone, picked up the paper on the ground and put it back on the table.

There was something written on a piece of paper, and Zheng looked curiously to see what was written on it.

Unlike Xiao Qirui's usual smoothness, his writing is quite sharp.

It is a poem by Huang Tingjian.

"The view makes me sad. I am sick with longing. Who was interested first, and who was unfaithful? I am so angry that I am rarely happy.

"Please stop asking. You have me, I have nothing to share with you. It's like a peach kernel, so hateful. There are two people in my heart."

Zheng didn't believe it at first, she thought it was funny.

Maybe it’s because people like Xiao Qiru, in her eyes, value profit over loyalty, and are always calculating gains and losses, so she won’t truly like anyone.

How can such a person feel lovesickness?

Even if he was feeling lovesick, he was a prince. As long as she was not someone else's wife, what woman could he not get?

Then, Zheng remembered a terrible thing.

Could it be that Xiao Qirui has a crush on Concubine Jin?

Otherwise, why did Xiao Qirui send so many things to Concubine Jin when he was in the palace?

Why did he suddenly get angry and beat her up when she mentioned Concubine Jin last time, and never went to see Concubine Jin again after returning to the palace?

This terrible speculation instantly swept through Zheng's mind.

Zheng's hands and feet were cold.

She knew that Concubine Jin had been ill for the past few days and had caught a cold as a punishment from the Queen.

If Xiao Qirui liked Concubine Jin, there was no way he would not go to visit her.

Xiao Qirui has been watching for a while, hoping to temper Concubine Jin's temper. For someone like Concubine Jin who doesn't know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is, she has to suffer a little before she will obey.

The next day he went to pay his respects to Concubine Luo. After leaving Concubine Luo's palace, he quietly went to Concubine Jin.

Concubine Jin has lost a lot of weight. I don’t know if she has come to terms with it or what. Compared to her arrogant appearance in the palace, she is like two different people.

When she saw Xiao Qiru coming to see her, Concubine Jin shed tears silently.

After returning from the palace, the emperor suddenly disliked her no longer.

The Wei Dynasty's harem was bigger and more dangerous than she had imagined. People always flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak. Seeing that she was out of favor, they didn't give her any face.

Xiao Qirui sighed: "My queen has suffered."

Concubine Jin forced a smile and said, "Please ask the emperor to come and see me. I promise I won't be as willful as before."

Xiao Qirui was silent for a moment: "Does your Majesty know why you fell out of favor?"

Concubine Jin probably had some thoughts in her mind, thinking that she was not as obedient as other women in the palace, so the emperor no longer favored her.

Xiao Qirui said: "Your Majesty looks very similar to the Qin King's biological mother, Concubine Bo. The Qin King cannot tolerate you and has tried every means to sow discord between you and the Emperor."

Hatred suddenly arose in Jin Fei's eyes.

It’s the King of Qin again!

Xiao Qirui smiled slightly: "Don't worry, as long as the queen listens to me, I promise that you will be glorious in the harem and no one can bully you."
