Chapter 295: The Unruly and Willful Concubine (14)
Chapter 295: The Unruly and Willful Concubine (14)
Zhan Linxiao froze there, not knowing what to do, so he had to coax her: "Now is not the time, didn't we agree? Wait until I get the military power back..."
Shen Fangshu closed her eyes and interrupted him: "By then, how will you deal with Gu Zhen?"
They had agreed that they would take over the military power and weaken Gu Yun's influence in the Gu family army. If they could find the secret guards left by the previous emperor, they could destroy Gu Yun in one fell swoop.
By that time, the imperial concubine who was used as a shield would be of no use. It would be better to let her and the Gu family perish together than to keep her as an eyesore.
This was the original plan.
But now, Zhan Linxiao actually felt a little reluctant, and his heart was itchy, all thinking of the imperial concubine's charming and coquettish look.
"Shu'er, I will do what I promised you. In the future, I will send the imperial concubine to pray for the royal family and will not bother you anymore. Okay?"
Shen Fangshu felt bitter in her heart. She gritted her teeth and tried not to think about the fact that her lover had already changed his mind. She forced a smile: "You said it. If you lie to me again, I will shave my head and become a nun..."
Zhan Linxiao breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her a little tighter, knowing that his Shu'er would not be so cruel as to stay angry.
Kissing Shen Fangshu behind her ear, Zhan Linxiao wanted to conquer this woman with his body, but he couldn't muster the slightest interest.
Zhan Linxiao didn’t think much about it, maybe he was just too tired. He had never been so unrestrained the whole night.
Shen Fangshu was unwilling to do anything with him at this time, and struggled to stand up: "The Queen Mother was waiting for you last night and wanted to give you a gift in person. Go in and see the Queen Mother."
Zhan Linxiao firmly pinched her chin and kissed her, then asked vaguely, "What about you? Where is the gift you gave me?"
For the first time in her life, Shen Fangshu felt annoyed with this man, but she remembered her status. Being arrogant because of being favored is not the way for a smart woman.
She touched her belly and felt extremely sad. If she had told him earlier, maybe he would not have gone to another woman last night.
"Ah Xiao...I'm pregnant with your child."
Zhan Linxiao froze there. He touched Shen Fangshu's belly with trembling hands. Wasn't she drinking contraceptive soup?
"That time when the imperial concubine was here, I forgot to drink..." She knew exactly what this man was thinking.
Zhan Linxiao was ecstatic, of course he was happy, but then he felt the situation was difficult. Now he was not sure whether he could protect the child.
If a woman with no background and born as a palace maid gave birth to a firstborn son, how many hands would reach out to them and their child?
But if he doesn't give birth, I'm afraid Shen Fangshu will resent him from then on.
Zhan Linxiao pondered for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice: "I will give you a position as soon as possible, Shu'er, I will protect you."
Shen Fangshu's joy of pregnancy faded away quietly. If she had known this would happen, she would not have bothered with it.
But things have come to this, and we can only take one step at a time.
......
Changle Palace.
Gu Zhen hasn't seen Zhan Linxiao for several days.
She pretended to look for him several times, but was coldly turned away by Shen Fangshu each time.
Gu Zhen didn't care at all, she had expected it long ago, but she still insisted on sending people to ask when the emperor would come every day.
Zhan Linxiao always refused with the excuse of being busy with government affairs.
Gu Zhen was happy and at ease. She asked Bi Ru to guard the palace gate every night, while she would wait to "meet her lover" on time at midnight.
If you want a child, you have to come more often.
The love affairs between Gu Jiuyuan and her were always kept silent, and his out-of-control emotions were revealed only when he could no longer suppress them.
Tonight, after finishing the work, Gu Zhen was so tired that he collapsed there and couldn't move.
Gu Jiuyuan kissed away the sweat beads on his forehead bit by bit.
"You don't have to come tomorrow, otherwise if you get pregnant in the future, you won't be able to explain it."
It has only been a few days, so the imperial physician cannot make a diagnosis.
Gu Jiuyuan's kiss lingered on the tip of her nose. Hearing what she said, he hummed in a muffled voice, somewhat reluctantly.
However greedy he was, this was the master whom he dared not blaspheme in his heart.
Gu Jiuyuan rolled off her with difficulty, not daring to stay. He quickly tidied himself up and knelt there waiting for orders.
Gu Zhen sighed: "I told you not to kneel, just go."
"I will wait until my master falls asleep before I leave."
After getting to know him, he became more stubborn and resolute. Gu Zhen thought of the scars all over his body and felt pity for this young yet experienced man.
"Come up and lie down. You'll be allowed to leave later tonight."
Gu Jiuyuan was extremely excited, and he looked up with his bright eyes, as if he couldn't believe that he had received such a favor.
Gu Zhen pretended to be angry: "If you keep on procrastinating, I will regret it!"
Gu Jiuyuan quickly got up, brushed off the dirt on his knees, and carefully lay down next to Gu Zhen.
Gu Zhen turned sideways. She felt very tired tonight but not sleepy. She ran her hand along Gu Jiuyuan's collarbone and could feel the strength inside even through his clothes.
"How did you get this scar?" Gu Zhen's fingers stopped at his heart.
Gu Jiuyuan swallowed a few times and lay flat on his back, suppressing his restless thoughts. He wanted to grab this naughty little hand and bite it carefully between his teeth.
But he never dared to touch his master casually afterwards.
"My Lord, this is the injury I sustained when I was eight years old fighting with someone."
At that time, he and his companions, a total of 159 people, were thrown into a snake pit. After seven days and seven nights, he was the only one who survived.
The twenty-eight secret guards of the Dragon Shadow Guard have all survived the tortures of swords, fire, poisonous insects, rats and ants.
Ruthless and without love, without desire or demand, swearing allegiance to the master until death.
But you don't need to tell this to your master.
But Gu Zhen could tell from his words that it was dangerous. A child who was only eight years old...
"When I get pregnant, I will give you the antidote. It's not the medicine that is suppressed every month, but the real antidote. Gu Jiuyuan, have you ever thought about what to do instead of being a secret guard?"
The world is so big, and with all the unique skills, why should we live in darkness?
Gu Jiuyuan's heart trembled, and he turned to look at Gu Zhen in astonishment. He couldn't believe it and said, "Master, don't you want me anymore?"
"......" Gu Zhen couldn't help laughing after a moment of silence, "Fool!"
Forget it, it won’t be too late to talk about this after the overall situation is settled. Now she still needs the Dragon Shadow Guard to do things for her.
But Gu Jiuyuan seemed to take it seriously and sat up again, this time kneeling on one knee on the bed.
"Master, my life belongs to you. I will only stay by your side for the rest of my life. If you don't need me, please allow me to die!"
Gu Zhen was defeated by him and tried to kick him, but Gu Jiuyuan grabbed her foot.
"You! How dare you! Let me go!" Gu Zhen scolded in a low voice, staring at people with her watery eyes, but without any killing power.
Gu Jiuyuan felt that he was really daring.
"Did I not serve you well enough? Master, can you give me another chance?" Perhaps if he could please his master, he could stay with her forever.
Gu Zhen's eyelashes trembled, and she bit her lower lip, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.
It turns out that the leader of the secret guards is not an honest person either!
"Well...it depends on how you perform..."
