After the subjugation of the country, she became the favorite concubine of the enemy

Ling Xiche sat in the carriage, opened the curtains and looked outside, it was getting dark, and the bustling night market was about to begin.

Think back to the time when I was captive back to Duanguo and trapped in Chenle Palace. At that time, life was really worse than death. Every day, my heart was ashamed, like a walking corpse, but only a few months later, when I came to Duanguo, I felt so happy.

"Xi Che, sit down a little bit."

"What's wrong?" Ling Xiche moved over to lean against Shen Chen.

Shen Chen helped him remove the silver ring that bound his hair, and smoothed his hair.

"That's fine."

Ling Xiche also grabbed a few handfuls of long hair that was hanging down.That's right, even if you go back to the palace quietly at night, on the way back to Chenle Palace, you're not afraid of [-] or just in case someone sees you, it's better to drape your hair down.

It was already dark when they got off the carriage, and Li Fuquan was the only one to meet them.Li Fuquan had a lantern in his hand, and Shen Chen was afraid that the lit fire would be too conspicuous, so it was best to go back quietly without anyone noticing, so he asked Li Fuquan to put out the fire and go ahead to open the way for them.

Although Ling Xiche was also stumbling, he still groped to support Shen Chen.

Shen Chen thought it was too dark and he was afraid, so he comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm by your side, it's okay."

"I'm not afraid, I'm worried about this black light. If you accidentally fall down, don't add new injuries to the old ones before they heal."

Although Shen Chen knew that Ling Xiche was worried about him, but he was not convinced in his heart, he hugged Ling Xiche with one hand, and said, "My concubine, I should protect you."

Before he finished speaking, he tripped and staggered. Ling Xiche hurriedly hugged him to prevent him from falling.

Ling Xiche smiled and said, "Chen'er, you should be more careful."

Shen Chen insisted, "It's all because of you distracting me, don't talk anymore, walk well."

"cut."

Finally, he returned to Chenle Palace, and there was no idea along the way.

Ling Xiche pushed open the door of the inner hall of Chenle Palace that he had not seen for a long time, and Chun'er and Xiao Mingzi were overjoyed to see them come back.

"Son!"

Chun'er threw herself over and hugged Ling Xiche in a gaffe, jumping up and down.

"My lord, Xiao Mingzi made a bet with me that you would never come back after leaving the palace. I was planning to pack up and go back to Miss, but I won the bet and you are back!"

Shen Chen coughed lightly and pulled Chun'er away, "It's not clear what men and women can accept."

Xiao Mingzi squeezed over and said, "Then I'll give you a hug, Young Master."

Shen Chen ruthlessly blocked them again.

"You can't hug, only I can."

Chun'er and Xiao Mingzi looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty, the relationship between you and the Young Master seems to be different from before leaving the palace."

Ling Xiche smiled and said, "I took him to the grave of my parents, and he will be a member of my Ling family from now on."

Shen Chen put his arms around Ling Xiche's waist, "My concubine, what are you talking about? Who belongs to whom? You think it over before answering me."

Seeing this, Chun'er and Xiao Mingzi quickly retreated together so as not to disturb them.

Seeing that he and Ling Xiche were the only ones left in the room, Shen Chen couldn't bear it anymore, hugged him, kissed him, and touched his body.

Ling Xiche pushed Shen Chen away.

"Xi Che, what's wrong?"

Ling Xiche straightened his clothes, not daring to look into his eyes, "I don't know, sorry, maybe I'm not ready yet."

"It's okay." Shen Chen could not hide the disappointment in his tone.

Ling Xiche asked softly, "Are you angry?"

"No." Shen Chen pulled Ling Xiche to sit down by the bed together, "Then rest, I'm a little tired, starting tomorrow, I plan to start governing again, so I'd better rest early tonight."

Ling Xiche looked up at him, he was not in good spirits, "How about taking another day off? We just came back today, so you should take another day off tomorrow. Even if your injuries are fine, you should take good care of yourself. "

Shen Chen thought about it and agreed to his proposal.

The next day, when Shen Chen woke up, Ling Xiche was still asleep, so he got up lightly.

When staying in Suchen Yue Palace before, Shen Chen would wake up first every time, and sometimes he would leave, Ling Xiche was still sleeping in the cage in a daze, but after the injury, every time he woke up drowsy in pain , Ling Xiche was always awake, and always asked him how he was feeling, whether he wanted to change clothes, and whether he wanted to drink water.

Shen Chen walked to the bedside and gently patted his head.

At that time, he couldn't sleep well every night, right?That's why it's a headache.

Now that his injury is almost healed, he can sleep so soundly again.

In fact, he has already started to care about himself, right?

In the most remote palace garden, Zhao Jihe started his day of doing nothing again.

The outside door was pushed open, he went out and saw that it was Shen Chen.

"I have heard that you want to see Xi Che?"

"Yeah." Zhao Jihe lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, but he didn't ignore the intimate word Xi Che.

"What do you want to see him for?"

Zhao Jihe replied cautiously, "Actually, it's nothing. I just want to chat with him. I don't know anyone else. I've been here alone for a long time, and I feel panicked."

Shen Chen asked again, "Is the original meal not to your liking? How is it now?"

Zhao Jihe replied, "I really can't eat those things for a long time. Anyway, I used to be a prince. Now, it's much better."

After he finished speaking, Shen Chen didn't continue to ask him anything, just looked at him and observed him.

Being sized up by Shen Chen with such scrutiny, Zhao Jihe was a little scared, and he didn't dare to say anything with his head down.

"Do you have the idea of ​​returning to the country?"

Shen Chen's sudden words frightened Zhao Jihe quite a bit, and he shook his head and said, "No, no, I said that the day Ye Kingdom fell, you take it from Ye Kingdom, I am willing to let you take it."

Shen Chen noticed a detail.

Generally speaking, when begging others to spare their lives, they would choose to kneel down, but he did not kneel down.

Although this Zhao Jihe looked timid and begged for mercy, there was arrogance in his bones.

"Are you afraid of death?" Shen Chen asked.

Zhao Jihe replied honestly, "Yes, I want to live, I don't want to die."

Shen Chen stopped talking again, and Zhao Jihe just waited tremblingly for him to speak again. After waiting for a long time, he finally spoke again, saying what Zhao Jihe wanted him to say in his heart.

"If I let you out of the palace, will you try to restore the country?"

Zhao Jihe raised his finger to the sky and swore, "I swear, I will never have the idea of ​​restoring the country, otherwise, I will die a terrible death."

Shen Chen was very satisfied with his oath and nodded.

Seeing that Shen Chen nodded, Zhao Jihe asked weakly again, "You... If you really want to let me out of the palace, can you give me some money?"

Shen Chen chuckled, "Okay, I will give it to you."

After Shen Chen left, Zhao Jihe's tears flowed down uncontrollably, crying and laughing while laughing.He stumbled excitedly to find out the note that Yu Chirui gave him, looked at it repeatedly, and always felt that these words were so beautiful.

At noon, the food delivery eunuch came and gave him a bag of silver by the way.

"This is the last meal for you, and you should leave the palace after that, congratulations."

"Thank you." Zhao Jihe said these two words very solemnly.

The little eunuch smiled, "It's okay. By the way, I was worried about the poisonous food. I thought, if I want to let you go suddenly, it's not because I want to get rid of you, right? I went to find a cat and tried it on you." Don’t worry, it’s not poisonous, so you can eat it with confidence.”

Listening to the things he did for him, Zhao Jihe was very moved, biting his lower lip to keep the tears from falling, his vision was completely blurred by the tears.

Sit at the table and eat with chopsticks.

After he finished eating, the little eunuch cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks as usual, and couldn't help but say, "You are the prince, and I have been a lowly person since I was a child, so you may not want to hear what I said, but I still want to say something. Don't be stupid, It’s hard to be free, let’s live a good life.”

Zhao Jihe couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and began to burst again, "Thank you, I really appreciate you taking care of me during this time."

The little eunuch also started to cry after being teased by him, sobbing, "Take care of yourself after you leave the palace, and we will never see each other again."

Zhao Jihe took two pieces of silver from the bag of silver and took it with him, and gave the rest to the little eunuch.

Walked out the door without looking back.

Ling Xiche was already up when Shen Chen returned to Chenle Palace, and when he saw Shen Chen coming back, he ran towards Shen Chen quickly.

"Where did you go this early in the morning? Don't you even use breakfast?"

I didn't think it at first, but when he mentioned it, Shen Chen really felt a little hungry.

"Has the breakfast been withdrawn? If not, I'll have two bites now."

"Of course not, and I haven't eaten yet."

"Are you waiting for me?"

"Yeah." Ling Xiche took the initiative to hold his hand and went to have breakfast, "You said yesterday that you're still resting today, so you won't go somewhere without telling me, so I'll wait for you. "

After sitting down at the table, Ling Xiche first filled a bowl of shredded chicken porridge and placed it in front of him, then filled a bowl for himself, and then began to eat.

"Xiche, I let Zhao Jihe out of the palace."

Ling Xiche froze for a moment while eating, and blinked his big eyes twice, as if confirming what he just said, before saying after a while, "Why did you do this all of a sudden?"

Shen Chen gently squeezed Ling Xiche's face, "Because I know you want me to do this."

Ling Xiche lowered his eyes and said, "Of course I hope you don't embarrass him, but you are an emperor, and I can understand that you have your emperor's consideration. I never told you to let him go because If I stand in your position, I'm not sure what the follow-up impact will be if you let him go, I don't want my selfishness to bring you any harm."

"It seems that your heart has already turned to your husband's family."

Hearing the word "husband's family", Ling Xiche raised her eyes with a blushing face, and met Shen Chen's eyes full of smiles.

"Hate."

"Aren't I telling the truth?"

"That's disgusting, too."
