"How can you say that?" Xue Pinggui waved his hand,
There was a smile at the corner of his mouth. "Your health has just recovered. It's only right for me to come and see you. When you were sick, there were many matters to attend to in the imperial court.
I've been thinking about it. "
He was just thinking about it,
Siyang felt that Xue Pinggui,
The reason why he didn't come to see Wang Baochuan was probably because he felt guilty and didn't dare to personally see her being sent to her death.
"The matters of the imperial court must be the major matters of the world,
Your Majesty naturally has to come down innately. Besides, chenqie is fine now. "
In response to Siyang's answer,
Xue Pinggui was very satisfied,
Just as he was about to nod, he seemed to have thought of something,
The smile on his face disappeared. He patted the back of Siyang's hand and sighed, "Last night's assassin,
Was found today to have committed suicide for fear of punishment. "
"I only knew after getting his confession,
He was actually from the Central Plains,
It was just that he was half Xiliang,
That was why he looked different from others,
And he himself was a remnant of the rebels,
He used the difference in appearance to enter the palace to assassinate,
Fortunately, he was just like this and didn't amount to much. "
She raised her head and looked at Xue Pinggui. The latter also stared at Siyang without averting his gaze.
He could even come up with such a far-fetched excuse. Did Xue Pinggui think that he was very smart, or did he really think that Wang Baochuan was an idiot?
That's right. If Wang Baochuan wasn't stupid, why would she wait for this bastard for eighteen years? After coming back, she would forgive him with a few tearful complaints.
She was indeed stupid. No wonder he couldn't be bothered to think of a reason to deceive her.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xue Pinggui was not as calm as he appeared. He didn't want to come to Yukun Palace because Siyang was right. He didn't want to face Wang Baochuan.
Every time he saw her face, which was full of vicissitudes of life, it was as if there was a shackle of sin on his body, constantly reminding him of his past failures.
All of a sudden, Si Yang smiled.
That smile dazzled Xue Pinggui. Time seemed to travel back in time to that year when they first met. Her smile was bright and beautiful.
Grabbing his arm tightly, Siyang said softly, "I'm not worried. Fortunately, the assassin only came to the Jade Earth Palace last night. Otherwise, what would have happened if His Majesty was hurt?"
Since he said he was a rebel assassin, he must have come for Xue Pinggui.
As Siyang spoke, she patted her chest with a lingering fear on her face. "That assassin came with great ferocity. It was also a freak combination of factors. Otherwise, I'm afraid …" She shook her head and couldn't continue. She only frowned and said, "We still need to increase the number of guards in the palace. Your Majesty, I'm fine. If something like this happens again, who can prevent it?"
Xue Pinggui's expression had been very calm before, but when he saw Si Yang so frightened, his eyes showed that he was touched. He opened his arms and put them around her shoulders. Just as he was about to comfort her, the words that were about to come out of his mouth suddenly stopped. His thick and straight eyebrows were obviously raised, frowning faintly, "… Baochuan, you, what you said is indeed reasonable. When I return, I will definitely instruct my subordinates to take more precautions."
"Yes, although there are many things waiting to be done, the rules cannot be ignored. The imperial guards guarding the palace must also be strictly checked." Siyang nodded.
"Oh, Baochuan, what do you mean?" Xue Pinggui gently pulled away and looked down at her.
As if she didn't notice Xue Pinggui's scrutinizing gaze, Siyang slowly said, "Naturally, it is to prevent accidents from happening. Last night, the assassin looked so similar to Xiliang. What if he was among the imperial guards? Your Majesty's safety is the most important."
Xue Pinggui suddenly understood what Siyang meant. Half of the imperial guards were Xiliang's men. If it really was an assassin …
The imperial guards were the imperial guards that would protect him.
"Your Majesty, don't you think so?" Siyang tilted her head and said slowly after seeing that he was deep in thought.
"Er …" Xue Pinggui coughed lightly and came back to his senses. His expression was a bit unnatural, but he said, "You are the empress, the master of the harem. Since you said so, I will naturally do as you say."
When did she, the empress, become so useful?
However, Siyang was very satisfied with Xue Pinggui's reaction.
"Baochuan, we haven't had a good chat since our reunion. How about we rest here tonight? Didn't you want me to spend more time with you?"
If Xue Pinggui didn't say that last sentence, Siyang would be even more pleased.
It was obvious that he was going to stay the night.
Subconsciously, Si Yang touched her face. Was it because she recovered too quickly that she could actually make this person have such thoughts? Si Yang muttered in her heart.
"Your Majesty, that won't do."
"Hm?"
Xue Pinggui thought that if he wanted to stay the night, Wang Baochuan would be overjoyed. He didn't expect this kind of answer. For a moment, he was so shocked that he didn't even have time to adjust his expression.
Siyang rubbed her forehead and her face paled. She explained in a soft voice, "I have just recovered from a serious illness. The illness in my body is still there. What if I pass it to Your Majesty?"
So it was like that.
Xue Pinggui was about to say that he didn't mind, but he suddenly thought of something. He narrowed his sharp eyes and nodded, "I'm not afraid of any illness, but Baochuan, your body is still weak. You need to take good care of yourself. There's always time to chat. There's no hurry."
The reason was very dignified.
Regardless of what Xue Pinggui was thinking, after sending him off as she wished, Siyang turned around and removed her gentle appearance.
The trap had been set. It was just a matter of how he would continue.
On the other side, Xue Pinggui, who had left the Jade Earth Palace, immediately had a cold expression.
The eunuch who followed Xue Pinggui shrank his head and didn't dare to look around.
"Go and check for me. How many of the guards in the palace are from the Xiliang Army?" After returning, Xue Pinggui didn't immediately go to his sleeping quarters to rest. Instead, he went to the imperial study and gave this order to his subordinates.
When the people acknowledged and left, the person sitting on the dragon throne lowered his head and looked at the memorial in his hand. Coincidentally, this memorial had a request to be made the Crown Prince.
That's right, the Crown Prince.
Xue Pinggui currently had a son and a daughter, both of them were his and Xue Pinggui's children. Towards his own children, of course he was fond of them. Moreover, what the memorial said made sense. He had just ascended the throne, the title of the country had already been decided. For the sake of the country's foundation, it was indeed reasonable to appoint an heir apparent.
However, he was now concerned about another matter.
In the end, Xue Pinggui put this memorial to the side. At the same time, he sent away the eunuchs from the Western Palace.
Tuozan's eyes flashed a few times. She carefully looked at Siyang. After the violent coughing, she had even coughed out tears, making her eyes seem more watery. However, the sunken eye sockets and dark skin all told her that this woman in front of her was already terminally ill and didn't have much time left.
As expected, her worries were unnecessary. She was just a small village woman. Did she really think that she could become a phoenix after becoming the Empress?
"Her Highness the Empress said she was tired. Why aren't you helping her to rest?" With this order, Tuozan's eunuchs quickly rushed over.
"Hey, hey, you, what are you doing?" Cui'er was pushed to the side and anxiously wanted to go forward.
Siyang allowed the eunuchs to help her lie down on the bed. During this time, she coughed a few times.
"Jiejie, it's not that Meimei is scolding you." The eunuchs brought over a chair. Tuozan sat down in front of Siyang's bed. "Let me send a few more people to serve you. You only have one servant girl by your side. It's not safe to do things."
Cui'er was anxiously guarding the bed. She was actually guarding against Tuozan. After the conversation with Siyang just now, she was certain that there was no good person in this palace other than Miss and herself. Everyone was a demon that ate people without spitting out the bones.
At this time, when she heard that Tuozan wanted to replace her, she was a bit anxious. However, before Cui'er could speak, Siyang, who was half leaning on a soft pillow, spoke.
"Cough, cough, no need." She shook her hand with difficulty. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Tuozan's expression change slightly because of her direct refusal. Siyang panted a few times and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Even if I don't say it, you know that I didn't live a good life these years outside. Now that everything has suddenly changed, it's really hard for me to adapt."
As she spoke, Siyang's eyes were filled with emotion. She gently held Tuozan's hand.
"You, you … Sister, it's okay. It's really been hard for you these years." Tuozan lived like a princess. Her hands were white and slender, and as smooth as cream. Siyang's hands were rough. When she held them tightly, it was painful. However, this was not important. She did not know where Wang Baochuan's strength came from. Her hand felt like it was being clamped by a pair of pliers. It was so painful that she could barely maintain the smile on her face. She pulled hard, but her hand did not move at all.
Siyang acted as if she did not feel it and continued to hold her hand. She shook her head and sighed, "I'm used to living a hard life. I'm afraid I don't have the life to enjoy glory, splendor, wealth, and splendor. You see, I've only been Empress for a few days and I'm so sick. It's really bad luck for you all."
"How could you say that?" Tortoise Zan faked a smile and tried his best to free his hand.
Of course, she did not mention anything else. In her heart, she tacitly agreed with Siyang's words. However, she continued to pretend on the surface.
"What bad luck? Sister, relax and take care of your body. This is the best thing for His Majesty and me."
"Oh, is that so?" She held Tuozan's hand tightly and pulled it closer. Siyang looked at it carefully and whispered, "Sister's hand is so beautiful. Sister's hand used to be so beautiful."
Siyang understood Tuozan's plan. She was still occupying the seat like this. She was probably anxious from waiting. Otherwise, why couldn't she wait for 18 days?
Tuozan frowned slightly. She felt that Wang Baochuan's words had another meaning.
Just as Tuozan was about to say something, a voice came from outside the bedchamber.
"His Majesty has arrived." The eunuch's voice was sharp and thin. It traveled into the hall without warning.
However, Tuozan's eyes lit up when she heard it. She said in surprise, "Why is His Majesty here?"
"Maybe he's here to visit me." Siyang leaned back in her seat. She did not think much of it. They would meet sooner or later. It was not bad to meet them all at once today.
His Majesty, Xue Pinggui.
"Then I have to go greet him." She didn't care anymore. She stood up and pulled Si Yang's hand away. She thought that her hand would be bruised, but when she pulled it out, there were no bruises at all. It was as if the pain of breaking her bones didn't exist.
Tuozan looked at Siyang suspiciously. She did not think much about it. She lifted her skirt and turned around. She paused and said to her, "Sister's body is not well. Lie down first."
As she spoke, she hurried to the door to greet His Majesty.
Siyang looked coldly at all this. She was unmoved.
"My Lady." Cui'er was a little nervous.
Siyang did not say anything. She stared at the corner. A large group of attendants appeared at the door of the bedchamber. Then, a tall and dignified man wearing a yellow robe embroidered with dragons strode into her sight.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." She used the etiquette of the Central Plains, but probably because she hadn't learned it for a long time, her movements were stiff and a little strange. However, in the eyes of that person, all of this made her look lovable. She was a little shy, but probably because she hadn't learned it for a long time, her movements were stiff and a little strange.
"Hahaha, my beloved concubine, you don't have to be so courteous." The man laughed heartily. He bent down and helped Tuozan up with both hands. After looking at her carefully for a while, he nodded with praise. "My beloved concubine is becoming more and more like a woman from the Central Plains."
Tuozan smiled shyly at the praise. She touched her chin and said tenderly, "Your Majesty is too kind. If there is a woman from the Central Plains who is gentle and beautiful, it is Sister Empress."
Xue Pinggui, who was smiling a moment ago, restrained the emotions on his face because of this sentence. He closed his eyes and turned to look in the direction of Siyang. His eyes were obscure. Tuozan saw it clearly. She shook his arm and said, "Your Majesty is here at the right time. Come and see my sister. I think her illness is getting worse."
"Is that so? I am here to see the Empress."
"Baochuan." Xue Pinggui called out softly and sat down at the seat where Xue Zan was sitting. However, when he got closer and saw his wife's appearance, his eyes were filled with obvious surprise.
"You …"
"Ahem, Your Majesty is here. I have been, ahem, waiting for a long time …"
