Chapter 288: The Unruly and Willful Concubine (7)
Chapter 288: The Unruly and Willful Concubine (7)
As summer began, Wang Siyu sent a message from outside the palace, saying that the formula had been found, but it would take some time to prepare the medicine, so he asked Gu Zhen to wait patiently.
Gu Zhen has been going to Qianning Palace frequently recently, but her personality has gradually changed without leaving any trace.
Everyone in the palace knew that the imperial concubine had changed.
He no longer monopolized the emperor's position, nor did he kill people at will. He took the lead in being frugal, reducing expenses, and often went to the Buddhist temple to pray for the soldiers in the army.
She was asked to take care of it, and the concubines in the harem were not allowed to live in excessive luxury, so they all lived the life of ascetics.
Gu Zhen really wanted to save some money for her brother. Fighting on the front line, no one could be spared but the soldiers.
In this way, the imperial concubine's good reputation gradually spread.
It was already late when Zhan Linxiao realized that Gu Zhen hadn't pestered him to spend the night with him for a long time. He was startled and understood some of Gu Zhen's intentions.
She probably thinks the war in the north will be over and her position as queen is secure, so she's trying to build momentum!
Zhan Linxiao intended to win Gu Zhen back, but she dealt with him with just a few words. She was still spoiled, but no longer ruthless. She was merciful in her behavior and became difficult to control.
On this day, Gu Zhen still showed up at Qianning Palace on time, waiting for Zhan Linxiao to have lunch.
She has been here for a month, but still hasn't found any clues about the Dragon Shadow Guard.
The book says that Zhan Linxiao and Shen Fangshu discovered it by accident when they were doing that thing, but it doesn't explain how they discovered it.
Zhan Linxiao excitedly hugged the heroine and said that she was a lucky star and a salvation sent by God.
Gu Zhen walked around the Qianning Palace, but under Shen Fangshu's careful surveillance, she didn't find anything useful.
And Shen Fangshu also became increasingly wary of this imperial concubine.
She is not at all as stupid and vicious as people describe her to be. Instead, she is adorable, knows when to act, and most importantly, she is knowledgeable.
Every lunch time is the most torturous time for Shen Fangshu.
She couldn't stand the sight of her beloved chatting and laughing with another woman.
Because of this, Shen Fangshu and Zhan Linxiao have quarreled many times.
After being severely punished by Zhan Linxiao one time, Shen Fangshu was shocked to realize that this man was no longer the younger brother Axiao, nor was he the helpless prince.
He is the emperor! The current emperor holds the power of life and death. He still remembers that the promise between them is a favor. Even if he forgets, Shen Fangshu can only accept it.
From then on, Shen Fangshu calmed down, stopped making noises, and became gentle and affectionate again, which made Zhan Linxiao feel quite guilty, and their relationship was rekindled.
Shen Fangshu smiled slightly, thinking about the sweetness of last night while serving food to Gu Zhen and Zhan Linxiao.
Gu Zhen pretended not to see the eye contact between the two of them and ate her meal absentmindedly.
Although Zhan Linxiao had been on guard against Gu Zhen recently, he couldn't help but change his opinion of her. He felt indescribably comfortable when talking with Gu Zhen.
No matter what the conversation was about, she could always respond flawlessly.
I heard that Gu Zhen was raised by Madam Gu, and now it seems that she has some characteristics of a girl from an aristocratic family.
Zhan Linxiao thought that Gu Zhen's previous appearance was deliberately pretending to confuse people.
In order to make them let down their guard.
Zhan Linxiao's smile faded, "My beloved concubine, why are you so unhappy today? Who made you unhappy? Can I vent your anger for you?"
Gu Zhen's eyes moved, and she continued, "Your Majesty, I feel uncomfortable. Please ask them to leave. I want to talk to you."
Zhan Linxiao was eager to find out Gu Zhen's recent intentions. Hearing this, he waved his hand and gave Shen Fangshu a look.
Even though Shen Fangshu was unwilling, she had to retreat, but she just stood outside the door and didn't intend to leave.
Seeing that the door was closed, Gu Zhen moved over coquettishly and leaned into Zhan Linxiao's arms. The elegant and pleasant fragrance from her body went straight into the man's nose.
It seems a bit hot in this midsummer afternoon.
"Your Majesty, my sister-in-law asked me to be a virtuous concubine. I tried, but I can't do it. What should I do?"
Gu Zhen's eyes turned red and she felt extremely aggrieved. Only then did Zhan Linxiao see some of her former self in her.
"Then don't do it. Since you've married me, I'll guarantee that you can do whatever you want for the rest of your life. My beloved concubine, you can do whatever you want. I'll allow you to bully anyone you don't like. How about that?"
Gu Zhen felt sick in her heart, but she was still moved and started crying: "Your Majesty is so kind to me, I like you so much..."
After saying that, he boldly put his arms around Zhan Linxiao's neck, his eyes full of love, which made Zhan Linxiao stand there in a daze, unable to move.
Putting everything aside, his concubine was really a very beautiful woman.
She is so young but has already grown into a beauty that is hard to take your eyes off. How charming she will be in the future.
Zhan Linxiao lowered his eyes. The arm around his neck was slender and soft, and the fragrance in front of him was disturbing. He did not push Gu Zhen away for a moment.
The two of them got quite close, and Zhan Linxiao subconsciously stretched his neck forward.
Gu Zhen sneered. He had a lover outside, but he still had the mood to be distracted. It turned out that all men are bad.
"I'm so sleepy~" Gu Zhen yawned in time before he came back to his senses, and actually fell asleep on Zhan Linxiao's shoulder.
Zhan Linxiao felt a weight on his shoulders and his thoughts became clearer. He maintained this posture for a while before he had to pick up Gu Zhen and put her on the bed in the inner room.
It was the first time that another woman was lying on the bed.
Zhan Linxiao felt a little guilty, so he rubbed his nose and called someone to come in and clean up.
Shen Fangshu had a complicated expression, and a flash of sadness passed through her eyes. She looked at the vague figure in the bed curtain and remembered the panic she felt when she was outside and couldn't hear the people talking inside.
The emperor and the imperial concubine have an open and aboveboard relationship. What are they doing when they are not talking in the room?
The imperial concubine said that she liked the emperor. Why didn’t Zhan Linxiao answer at that time?
Tears were almost falling from Shen Fangshu's eyes, but she forced herself to hold them back and waited until the palace servants had cleared the table before she gave Zhan Linxiao a sad look.
Zhan Linxiao immediately thought of the day when Shen Fangshu was touched by an old eunuch just because she asked for a bowl of hot food for him and his mother.
That was the look in her eyes at that time, a look that showed she had suffered a great injustice.
My heart suddenly softened.
Zhan Linxiao hugged Shen Fangshu and pressed her against the door of the inner room.
"Shu'er, nothing happened between me and her. Believe me. I work so hard to be with you every day. How can I have the energy to want other women? You know it, right?"
Shen Fangshu knew that Zhan Linxiao only had her as his woman, but she was not sure if there was someone else living in his heart.
"Your Majesty, please let me go. The Imperial Concubine is still in bed."
At this moment, Zhan Linxiao felt that the room was getting hot again. The smell on Shu'er was completely different from that of the imperial concubine, and was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.
Also unexpectedly charming.
Not far behind him was the imperial concubine lying on the dragon bed, and in front of him was his beloved woman. Zhan Linxiao's breathing instantly became disordered.
"Right here, let my daughter see who I really love..."
