Chapter 155 Cornered
In the room, the closer the emperor got to the bed, the more inexplicably firm Cui Xiu's eyes became. She was worried that there was too much guilt on her face. So use another emotion to cover up your guilty conscience.
The emperor's purpose of coming here is definitely not to see her, but to chat with her about the fifth prince. When and what days can't we talk about it, but he came today, at this time.
"Has anyone else been in He'er's room?"
The emperor's eyes glanced around casually, and when he asked, he smelled a familiar smell that did not belong here. , and he had just been exposed to this smell in the past few days.
When Cui Xiu heard the emperor's question, her face subconsciously showed a look of confusion. Pretending to be stupid, she followed the emperor's gaze for a few times and then replied: "The person your majesty is referring to is ?”
“This is my concubine’s bedroom. No one can enter except for those who are close to me.” The slender jade hands in front of the lower abdomen were clasped together, with a faint smile on their faces.
When the emperor heard Cui Xiu's words, his eyes were on Cui Xiu's face, his eyebrows slowly raised, and he deliberately raised his hand to touch the side of Cui Xiu's face, and said: " Oh~"
"Really? I made a mistake."
When Cui Xiu saw the emperor's hand falling on his face, he avoided it out of control. In just a moment, the emperor's face froze. Cui Xiu did not expect that his reaction would be so intense.
"What? He'er doesn't want to have physical contact with me?"
"You and I are both parents with a son, so I'm afraid we'll be laughed at by being so unfamiliar. "
The emperor's hand moved in the direction where Cui Xiu was avoiding. His hand finally fell on Cui Xiu's face. His words were also very deliberate, as if he had prepared them specially for someone. of.
Besides the emperor and Cui Xiu, there is also Li Qun in this room.
The emperor's words "I'm afraid people will laugh at him" really poked at Li Qun's heart. Is it possible that Li Qun could laugh at the unfamiliarity between them? Li Qun wished they were strangers.
It would be best if you never had children.
Cui Xiu had his back to the bed and could not see every move on the bed, but the emperor was facing the bed. As he said this, his eyes were deliberately staring at the bed behind the curtain.
Not a trace of movement was seen. At this moment, Cui Xiu continued what he said: "Your Majesty, I have been feeling unwell recently."
"I'm just afraid that the illness will pass. To Your Majesty, so I deliberately avoided it.”
When the emperor heard Cui Xiu's words, he withdrew his eyes and looked at Cui Xiu in front of him. The hand caressing Cui Xiu's face deliberately slid down. As soon as his hand turned, he pinched Cui Xiu's chin and placed his fingertips on it. Cui Xiu's jawbone rubbed.
A faint smile appeared on the emperor's face, seemingly convinced by Cui Xiu's explanation. Cui Xiu did not make any unnecessary movements. Although there were many abusive words in her heart, she also knew that at this moment This is not the time to be a hero.
Now that their situation has just unfolded, if the emperor knew that Li Qun broke into the harem at night and had a "private meeting" with her, he would probably take big measures to punish them.
Cui Xiu is not trying to survive, but her big things are not yet done, and she cannot die in the hands of Li Xiuhuai like this.
Besides, Li Qun came to see her not for a private meeting, but to discuss business matters. However, what they discussed could not be brought to the table. Even if he did, the emperor would not believe it.
Because in the eyes of the emperor, as long as she and Li Qun stand together, they are unclean and must be involved in some "shady" "deeds".
If Li Qun is implicated because of his secret meeting with a concubine, he will be blamed. After all, he has been here so many times, and there has never been any so-called "private meeting" between them. .
Cui Xiu has always been in control of the situation. She originally wanted to tell Li Qun the truth of the matter when the sixth prince was older. But now, every time she sees Li Qun alone, she always wants to give him some comfort, hug him, and tell him that he is never alone.
Thinking of this, Cui Xiu's resentment towards the emperor became even stronger. She wanted to kill Li Xiuhuai herself, otherwise keeping him would be a disaster to the world.
"He'er, please don't lie to me."
"Even if you have never had me in your heart, you are now my concubine, and you will never have anything to do with anyone else."< br>
“You don’t have to please me.”
“But you can’t betray me either!”
The emperor said, then he pinched Cui Xiu’s face and lifted it up. He stood up, and when their eyes met, he saw the panic in Cui Xiu's eyes.
There was a satisfied smile on the emperor's face. He was very happy to see Cui Xiu's expression. This was the right thing. Following him would naturally lead to good results.
He will also train their fifth prince well and pave the way for him, but the premise of all this is that Cui Xiu must be obedient.
Don't try to do anything to make him angry. Even if she still has Li Qun in her heart, she can only think about it. If Cui Xiu dares to take a step beyond the limits, he will definitely not spare Li Qun. .
The emperor knows what kind of personality Li Qun is.
Li Qun has always been a gentleman with good moral character and noble character. What happened back then would not have turned out the same if it had been someone else.
Since Li Qun didn't rebel against him, the emperor would naturally keep Li Qun, because Li Qun still had something to exploit, and Li Qun could withstand the painful test of taking away his wife. The emperor naturally had a "preference" for Li Qun.
After all, in this world, many people cannot withstand such a test.
When Cui Xiu heard the emperor's words, her eyes were filled with stubborn tears. She seemed to be frightened, but she persisted in her insignificant strength.
Cui Xiu reluctantly said a few words and said: "I, my concubine. I understand."
The emperor looked at the expression on Cui Xiu's face, and he did not continue. After going down and letting go of his hand, Cui Xiu's head dropped naturally. The emperor continued: "You'd better really understand."
"There is no room for sand in my eyes."
"I will make it clear to you today."
"You are now the mother of the fifth prince. What you have done It will all involve Xiao Wu. "
"Even if you resent me and hate me, you have to think about Xiao Wu and not harm Xiao Wu for your own little love."
The emperor has a thorough understanding of many things, but being thorough does not mean that his personality is also clear. He naturally has his own pride in being able to sit in the position of emperor.
When he became emperor, many things were out of his control. He had to consider the interests of the majority of people, and he could not treat many people with the same feelings as before. He had to consider the interests.
When Cui Xiu heard the emperor's words, she nodded gently in response and said: "Xiaowu is my concubine's child, and I should hope that his life will be smooth."
It's just that. It's enough to be smooth.
