Chapter 39 Private Meeting
After Cui Zhenghai and Cui Chu heard what Cui Xiu said, they had no intention of asking any more questions. Since Cui Xiu knew what he was talking about, they also believed Cui Xiu.
As family members, what they need is unconditional support for Cui Xiu. Now Cui Xiu is in the palace and needs their support.
Cui Zhenghai and Cui Chu each had their own thoughts on what Cui Xiu just said. Cui Xiu left the wing without saying anything more.
After Cui Xiu left, Cui Chu looked at his father and said, "Father, I think my little sister has changed."
"She has become different from before."
As soon as Cui Chu said these words, Cui Zhenghai nodded slowly in response to Cui Chu. Even though there were countless emotions in his heart, they all turned into silent distress at this moment. , this time flies so fast.
In the blink of an eye, the little girl who used to pester him for candied haws became a mother for the first time and began to behave like an adult.
“Yes, she is indeed different from before.”
“My mind is starting to sink.”
Cui Zhenghai said and exhaled softly. When Cui Chu heard his father's sigh, he couldn't help but look at his father and saw the melancholy and emotion on Cui Zhenghai's face.
"Father, you don't have to worry, now we are all back."
"With us here, my little sister will not be alone."
Cui Chu As he said that, he actually didn't feel that way in his heart. Why didn't he feel sorry for his little sister? However, even though he felt sorry for his little sister, he couldn't change Cui Xiu's current situation. What he could do now was to try his best to cooperate with her. Protect her.
“Yes, He’er is with us.”
"Even if she wants the stars in the sky, we have to pick them for her." Cui Zhenghai said, his eyes flashing with determination. He glanced sideways at Cui Chu and said, "Okay, there's no time. It's early, let's rest early."
After Cui Xiu left the wing, she did not go back to her bedroom directly. She went to another wing. After entering, she did not close the door. She walked a few steps inside and then said, "Since people are here, there is no need to hide."
Cui Xiu said, looking sideways at the ground behind him. From her perspective, She couldn't see clearly who was coming, but she already had an answer in her heart.
Not long after Cui Xiu's voice landed, a figure rushed in, followed by the sound of the door closing. The man was wearing a black robe, which covered most of his face. His voice came out first.
"Empress Jia Fei's insight is still as sharp as before." The man said, taking off the cloak and hat that covered his face, revealing a pair of eyes.
It's Li Qun.
When Cui Xiu heard the voice, a rare smile appeared on her face. She was very tired today, and she wanted to go back to rest after explaining things to her father and brother.
But Li Qun suddenly appeared. There was a special light fragrance on Li Qun. Cui Xiu could tell it by smelling it. Moreover, after her performance in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests today, she was not surprised that Li Qun would come.
Or to put it another way, she did that firstly to make the emperor relax his vigilance, and secondly to hint to Li Qun that she was not living a good life now.
It's not that she wants to be miserable or anything, she just wants to draw Li Qun into her camp.
Li Qun is the biological father of her child. Although no one knows this yet, this is an indelible fact.
Now that she wants to secretly cultivate power for her children, she will inevitably use Li Qun. As for the others, she can slowly find them.
The child has just been born and there is still some time before he will grow up. She is not in a hurry, but it is urgent for Li Qun to be on her side.
“Xu Guogong is ridiculous.”
“However, after all these years, Xu Guogong’s bad habit of eavesdropping in corners has not changed.” Cui Xiu said, then turned around and looked at Li Qun. When Li Qun saw Cui Xiu turning around, his eyes immediately met Cui Xiu's. There was no emotion in Cui Xiu's eyes, and there was a faint smile on his face.
"I'm not worried about you."
"I also wanted to stop by to see His Highness the Fifth Prince."
Li Qun's words were straightforward, without any concern about Cui The sleeve is a concubine, and he is a foreign minister. With such a disparity in status, if these words were heard and spread to the emperor, it would definitely be a big article.
After Cui Xiu heard what Li Qun said, her eyes swept up and down Li Qun, and saw that he was wearing night clothes and a black robe. She wanted to blend herself into the night. He was obviously not walking. The normal way.
Cui Xiu knew what kind of person Li Qun was. In the past, she, Cui Xiu, would believe Li Qun's words, but now, she would not believe them. Full letter.
"I am still young. Although giving birth to a child is very energy-consuming, I can bear it."
"Don't bother Xu Guogong to worry about it."
Cui Xiu said As she looked at Li Qun, her gaze gradually shifted. She changed the topic from herself to the child.
“However, Duke Xu wants to see the fifth prince, and tonight is not the time.”
"The child is still young and has already fallen asleep."
"Besides, Duke Xu is wearing the same clothes. If the child sees it, he may be frightened by Duke Xu and cry."
Cui Xiu didn't give up in the end. Forgetting to joke, the smile on his face was faint. Li Qun was a little surprised when he saw Cui Xiu's reaction.
In Li Qun's eyes, he and Cui Xiu were close friends, and they could be said to have talked about everything before.
But since that incident, he and Cui Xiu were forced to cut off contact and gradually drifted apart. Now that Cui Xiu has given birth to a son, he should understand that as a minister, he should not Don't act like you shouldn't have any more intentions.
But just when he was about to let go, he saw Cui Xiu being hurt time and again by those in the palace, especially the current emperor, the king who once boasted victory in front of him.
Li Qun knew everything that happened during Cui Xiu's pregnancy. It was precisely because of his knowledge that he came here today. He wanted to tell Cui Xiu that if she wanted to quit, he would do it for her. She prepared for a retreat.
From the beginning to the end, he, Li Qun, never wanted to let go of everything he had done back then. If the emperor could not fulfill his promise back then, then he would not fulfill that promise again.
Cui Xiu looked at the emotions in Li Qun's eyes and saw that Li Qun didn't speak, so she continued to speak slowly: "Li Qun."
"I want you to do something for me. Will you agree to this matter? ”
Cui Xiu didn't know why she suddenly asked such a question. If Li Qun didn't show up tonight, she might never ask such a question in her life.
But Li Qun came, not only Li Qun, but also her father and brother. They were all standing in front of her.
Originally, she planned to live her whole life without fighting for anything, but after experiencing the birth, she suddenly understood one thing.
That is, as a concubine, as the mother of a prince, and as the daughter of an important minister, it is difficult for her to live an ordinary life. She is already involved in a chess game, so how can she stay out of it?
If she doesn’t take action, there will be thousands of people who want to take action, and she will become a thorn in their side.
"Of course." Li Qun's words echoed in the box without any hesitation. Cui Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words.
