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

As soon as Ling Xiche woke up, he found that Shen Chen was going to molested him, and wanted to push him away, but he was firmly imprisoned by him, and he wanted to struggle. He didn't have the strength at all when he was still sick.

Then, he just watched Shen Chen kiss him and put a particularly bitter soup into his mouth.

After drinking the medicine, Ling Xiche pushed Shen Chen away with all his strength, and was so choked that he fell on the bedside and coughed non-stop. Shen Chen patted his back lightly, and it took a long time before he stopped.

Ling Xiche looked at Shen Chen with tear-filled eyes, "What are you doing?"

"You have a fever, I will feed you medicine."

Shen Chen could still speak in such a serious tone at this time, which made Ling Xiche feel a little funny, he wiped his lips, he was kissed by this person just now, his taste still seemed to linger on it.

Shen Chen brought over the rest of the medicine, "Since you're awake, drink it yourself."

Ling Xiche sat on the bed without moving.

Shen Chen took off his cloak and helped him wrap it up. Shen Chen's body temperature was still on the cloak.

"Don't catch the cold anymore."

Shen Chen's inexplicable and considerate behavior made Ling Xiche very uncomfortable, he tapped his still dizzy head, and recalled what happened before he fainted.

First I went to serve tea to the Empress Dowager, then I was made things difficult by the imperial concubine, and then I was hit by a cup of tea from the imperial concubine, the wound was split open, it hurts, and then...

Ling Xiche touched the wound with his hand wrapped in the cloak, the wound has been bandaged again, and the pain is no longer so painful.

Looking up at Shen Chen, he asked, "Are you satisfied with my performance today?"

"what?"

"The newly conferred concubine is going to serve tea to the Empress Dowager. I'm going. After serving the tea, I have also suffered the humiliation I deserve." Ling Xiche stared at Shen Chen and asked word by word, "Are you satisfied?" ?”

"Are you blaming me?"

Shen Chen seemed to be asking this question seriously, which made Ling Xiche laugh, as if he heard a very interesting joke, he couldn't stop laughing, even tears came out of his eyes.

"Stop laughing."

In Shen Chen's eyes, this smile seemed to be only described as miserable.

Ling Xiche finally stopped laughing, "Scholars can't be humiliated, Shen Chen, you don't talk about literature."

"Ling Shangqing..."

"Don't call me Shangqing, it's long gone."

After Ling Xiche finished speaking, Shen Chen didn't answer any more, just sat by the bed without moving.

Sitting quietly like this for a long time, Ling Xiche said again, "You want to humiliate me, that's fine, you can do whatever you want, I'll accept it. As long as you can abide by the agreement, don't embarrass my sister, and save the crown prince's life."

"Do you think I keep you here to humiliate you?"

"Is not it?"

Only then did Shen Chen understand that his previous despair was not because he couldn't accept himself, but because he thought he kept him in the harem just to humiliate him.

Seeing that Shen Chen didn't speak, Ling Xiche took it as his acquiescence.

"Shen Chen, ten years ago, I did cheat Duan Guo once, but I had no other way out, and this was the only way I could go. You hate me for cheating you, and now you want to vent your anger, I can understand, there is nothing to say. "

Ten years ago, when Ling Xiche was 15 years old, Zhao Kingdom's army invaded, and Ye Kingdom was defeated. His father died in battle, and the country's collapse was imminent.

Ling Xiche rushed to Duanguo alone to lobby, and wanted Duanguo to send troops to help.At that time, the ruler of Duanguo was Shen Chen's father. Although the old ruler understood the pros and cons of Ling Xiche's analysis with him, once Zhaoguo took over Yeguo, Duanguo would no longer be able to fight against the already rich Zhaoguo.Even so, the old lord was still unwilling to help out, Ling Xiche saw it, and falsely passed on the dictation of the lord of the Ye Kingdom, saying that he promised to share one-third of the country, and then asked Duanguo to send troops to help.

After the crisis was resolved, Duanguo sent envoys to ask Yeguo to fulfill its promise to cede one-third of the land. Ling Xiche knew that Duanguo had just offended Zhaoguo, and if he immediately turned against Yeguo again, he would be in trouble. It was not a human fate, so he directly denied the promise he had made, and praised Duan Guo's benevolence in front of all civil and military officials, and let Duan Guo come to make it difficult for Qihu to refute.

Envoy Duan Guolai finally left in a huff, but because he resolved the crisis, Ling Xiche became the top minister at the age of fifteen, becoming the youngest ever to be the head of a hundred officials.

Ling Xiche closed his eyes, and said calmly, "Although Ye Kingdom is still dead, I don't regret what I did back then. If I do it again, I will still make the same choice. So, no matter what you think If you want to retaliate against me in this way, it is up to you."

"So you thought so."

"Did I think wrong?" Ling Xiche asked back.

Shen Chen smiled, and there was a smile in his dark eyes, which was very different from the usual cold face.

This was the first time Ling Xiche saw Shen Chen really smiling, not the sneer he had when he was threatening him.Unexpectedly, the emperor, who had always acted stern and stern, had a pretty smile on his face.

"Could it be that you left me in the harem as a concubine because you cherished my talent?"

"Would you believe me if I said yes?"

"I believed you ghost."

Shen Chen raised the corner of his mouth again.

Just now Ling Xiche's miserable smile really scared Shen Chen, but now, he seems to be able to make a few jokes.Now the atmosphere is inexplicably comfortable.

"Ling Shangqing, although your talent is famous throughout the Three Kingdoms, there are still many things you don't understand, so don't jump to conclusions, not everything is as you imagined."

"Like? What's the matter?"

Ling Xiche seemed a little unconvinced looking at Shen Chen, Shen Chen couldn't help reaching out and tapping his forehead, causing Ling Xiche to frown again.

"Affection."

"what?"

"Ling Shangqing, you shouldn't have a secret affair, right? Otherwise, why haven't you got married?"

"Ye country is in a precarious state, everyone is uneasy, how can we survive a small family? Besides, I..."

At that time, Ye Kingdom's ruling and opposition parties were actually supported by him alone.The emperor of the Kingdom of Ye ignored the government, but kept squandering the treasury to seek immortals and ask about alchemy. The crown prince was young, so if he had any problems, he would leave them to Ling Xiche to solve them.It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and he is really helpless.

But, no...

"What's the relationship with love?"

Shen Chen also stopped joking with him, and just said, "I just want to say, I never wanted to humiliate you, and I never hated you because of what happened ten years ago."

Ling Xiche was dubious, and said, "Since you don't want to humiliate me, why did you make me a concubine?"

"That's what you want."

After saying that, Shen Chen got up and left.

Outside the bedroom, Chun'er and Xiao Mingzi are waiting.As soon as Shen Chen left, he entered the room.

Seeing that Ling Xiche seemed to be in a good mood, both Chun'er and Xiao Mingzi breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Xiche handed the cloak she was wearing to Chun'er, and said, "If you have a chance, return it to Shen Chen for me."

"Yes."

Xiao Mingzi supported Ling Xiche to lie down, and saw that the small patch of red on his neck seemed to be a little darker than what he saw just now.Xiao Mingzi didn't understand that it was from a kiss, and when he saw it just now, he thought that the young master was bullied by the emperor and was injured.

"Master Ling, is your neck okay?"

"On my neck?"

Ling Xiche touched his neck in puzzlement.He was still awake when Shen Chen kissed him, so he didn't know what happened.

Chun'er let go of the cloak, and came to see Ling Xiche. She only took one look at the red marks on her neck, and knew what happened. She smiled and said, "It's okay, maybe I accidentally scratched it."

Xiao Mingzi didn't believe it, "How could it be scratched, look, Chun'er, it's obviously bruised."

Chun'er tucked up the quilt for Ling Xiche, who was also puzzled, and pulled Xiao Mingzi out of the room.

"Let me tell you, my young lady also had red marks like that on her body."

"Ah? What kind of disease is this?"

"What's wrong? It's a hickey. My young lady was kissed by the prince, and my young master just shared a room with the emperor, so it doesn't matter who kissed it?" Chun'er started laughing as she spoke.

"So it is."

Xiao Mingzi glanced at the room, and couldn't help laughing.
