Huo Zheng sighed gently, reached out and subconsciously wanted to touch her face, but he was afraid to wake her up. Finally, his fingers fell on several stems of beautiful hair scattered on the jade pillow.
He has the love of his life and will never respond to her deep feelings.
Perhaps because of a bit of guilt or deliberately acting as a shield for his beloved, he has almost spoiled Zhao Shu in recent years. But only he knows how sincere this love is.
She and he are almost like folk couples. She even gave him a lovely child Yuxue. When he dreamt back at midnight, Huo Zheng looked at the beautiful face that fell asleep safely, but his heart was filled with guilt.
After all, they have been husband and wife for three years. They don't have any feelings at all. It's not that he doesn't like Shu Shu and loves their rui'er very much, but these feelings are not enough compared with the love of his life.
Looking forward to the peaceful sleeping face in front of him and thinking about Ruier's lovely little face, Huo Zheng couldn't help feeling sad. He chose this road and naturally wanted to go on firmly, but was he really willing to let go of their mother and son's hands?
Huo Zheng closed his eyes. A trace of anger flashed through the bottom of his eyes. He couldn't be soft hearted.
Facing Zhao Shushu, he smiled: "where's rui'er? Why don't you always see him?"
Zhao Shushu lowered her eyes: "the nanny took her away. Rui'er is always crying and having a headache these days. My concubine wants him to go back to bed early."
Speaking of rui'er, she was really sad. Rui'er has been ill since he was born. He is always ill. It's all her fault. If she hadn't been frightened by a wild cat in the imperial garden when she was pregnant and gave birth to Ruier prematurely, Ruier wouldn't be weak and sick.
"Have you seen the doctor?" Huo Zheng frowned. It was his own flesh and blood. How could he not be distressed to hear that his child was ill?
Zhao Shushu nodded, slightly turned her face, and quickly wiped her sleeves at the corners of her eyes.
Huo Zheng's heart sank and didn't speak. He directly stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, gently stroked her hair, and said in a low voice: "I was not in good health when I was a child. I was always ill for three days and two days. When I grow up, I will be better. Ruier will be the same. Don't worry."
Zhao Shushu burst into tears. The wet tears hit the back of his hand. Huo Zheng only felt a pain in his heart, as if he had been burned by her tears: "don't cry... Don't cry..." he comforted her incoherently.
Zhao Shushu bit her lip. Her nature is heroic and free, and she seldom shed tears, so she must cry more useful than those concubines who can't move tears. At first, she just wanted to squeeze out a few tears, but at the mention of rui'er, big tears fell uncontrollably, and she really sobbed.
The Dragon robes on Huo Zheng's chest were wet with her crying. Huo Zheng held her tightly and kept saying comforting words in her ear.
Estimating that the atmosphere was almost over, Zhao Shushu finally said what had been prepared in advance: "Your Majesty... My concubine is worried... I'm worried that rui'er won't be able to raise him..."
Obviously, it was thought out in advance, but it still hurts. Zhao Shushu's lip was bitten out of blood by her. Huo Yan coldly frowned and put his hand on her lips instead of her bitten lips. He scolded coldly: "nonsense!"
Zhao Shushu trembled in his arms. He held her tighter. Huo Zheng could clearly feel the cold temperature of her skin through the thin clothes.
He frowned and stretched out his hand towards her forehead, which was hot. Huo Zheng was in a hurry for no reason: "come and pass it on to the imperial doctor!"
Before the words fell, Zhao Shushu in her arms suddenly grabbed his hand. Her bright eyes looked at him for a moment. The meaning of prayer revealed at the bottom of her eyes made his heart tremble. At that moment, he even felt that no matter what Zhao Shushu asked him to do, he would promise her.
"Your Majesty, please... Send Ruier out of the palace..."
"The children of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and imperial concubine Wu huifei were also weak and ill, and could not support themselves in the palace... Later, they were sent to Prince Ning's house to be taken care of by King Ning, and the child grew up smoothly..."
Huo Zheng's eyes grew colder inch by inch. He reached out and grabbed her chin. Satire flashed in his eyes: "do you want me to give Ruier to King Wei?"
Zhao Shushu's bright eyes darkened a little. Originally, she thought huozheng would be a little softhearted for the sake of her tears. Now it seems that she overestimated him.
She turned her face sideways and didn't want to see Huo Zheng's face again. Huo Zheng took a breath and slowly bent down and said: "Shu Shu, don't be capricious. Rui'er's body can always be well cared for by the imperial doctor in the palace. You want him to follow the king of Wei. The king of Wei will return to the frontier fortress in a few days. Do you want rui'er to follow him? The frontier fortress is in bad conditions. How can rui'er's body stand it?"
Zhao Shushu smiled coldly. She broke away from Huo Zheng's arms and struggled to stand up and walk towards the door. As soon as she lifted the crystal curtain, Huo Zheng hugged her and threw her back to her bed.
Just as she was about to get up again, Huo Zheng had put her hands on the head of the bed and pressed her body tightly against her cold skin. He pressed close to her and rolled slightly. The texture let her know that he was a little angry at the moment, and a trace of fear suddenly appeared in her heart.
She always thought that Huo Zheng didn't know martial arts, but Huo Zheng subdued her with only one hand. They slept together for three years. How much did he hide from her?
"Let me go, your majesty." she bit her lip and looked at him with a smile. Huo Zheng seemed to have calmed down and slowly loosened the palm of her hand.
She lowered her head slightly, and the feeling of loss gradually spread in her heart. Zhao Shushu has long thought that Huo Zheng will not agree, but she still holds a glimmer of hope. If he really treats her and has some feelings for Ruier, maybe he will agree.
But Huo Zheng refused.
"Shu Shu, rui'er is my son. I will never give it to the king of Wei!" Huo Zheng stood with his hand in hand. Under the moonlight, his side face was very handsome, but also very affectionate. Zhao Shushu had a bitter smile on her lips. She once thought that the man in front of her was the love of her life. She slept together for three years. At this time, she found that she knew nothing about the man.
She didn't even know his martial arts, and even didn't know who the woman named "ah yuan" he really liked. She thought it was the nickname of only the two of them.
There should be no second stupid woman like her at the end of the day!
Her heart finally fell into the ice cellar bit by bit.
Zhao Shushu stood up and stumbled out. She didn't know where to go. She didn't want to share a room with the man in front of her for a moment. Since Huo Zheng refused to leave Chaoyang palace, she left.
The emperor grabbed her arm and forcibly pulled her back to the couch.
He looked at her with determination. His eyes were dark and gloomy. He smiled: "Shu Shu, don't be capricious."
He was familiar with the taste of ambergris, and his arms were still so warm, but Zhao Shushu felt that the man in front of her was so strange.
She closed her eyes and didn't want to see, listen and think again. After three years of deep love, she paid by mistake
As soon as he tightened his waist, the man suddenly hugged her in his arms, and his fingers wandered around her slender waist. Zhao Shushu closed her eyes: "Your Majesty, my concubine is unwell and can't serve your majesty. Your majesty, please go to the other sisters..."
Before she finished, there was a pain on her lips. Huo Zheng impolitely bit on her delicate lips. Zhao Shushu held her lips and snorted, and her eyes stared at Huo Zheng with hatred.
Huo Zheng frowned at her and said in a deep voice, "I don't know when you became so virtuous?"
In the past, he stayed in the Chaoyang palace for more than 20 days a month. Rao was so. Zhao Shushu still refused to let him leave a few days after he was away. If he rested in other palaces, when he returned to the Chaoyang palace, he would always see that her nose was not her nose and her eyes were not her eyes. It took him a while to coax her.
Zhao Shushu is the most jealous woman in the palace. If Zhao Shushu is the second, there are 3000 beautiful women in the harem. Absolutely no one dares to be the first.
Zhao Shushu slightly turned her head and calmly looked at him: "not in the future."
She is jealous because she cares about him and regards him as her favorite husband. But since he doesn't love her, everything in the past... Is just a joke.
She said it seriously, even Huo Zheng was slightly stunned, and a trace of anger flashed on her face.
Maybe Huo Zheng didn't know what he was annoyed about. His eyes fell on the beautiful and thin melon seed face and said with a slow smile: "Shu Shu, don't you know that if rui'er was sent out of the palace, he would be equivalent to the heir of the king of Wei and won't have the chance to win the throne of Prince again?"
Zhao Shushu smiled bitterly. Until this time, Huo Zheng still lied to her. What he hoped was that he would fight with the queen and give the crown to his sweetheart after losing both sides. How could he be willing to fall on the head of others when he was a prince?
Her eyes slowly glanced over his Qingjun incomparable face, which she had loved deeply, but now it seemed that she only felt extremely hypocritical, which disgusted her.
She looked at him with a cold smile: "Your Majesty, you should never have considered making the second prince as a prince."
The position of Chu Jun is just a piece of cake drawn by Huo Zheng to the Gao family and the Zhao family, which leads the two aristocratic families to fight to the death for the position of an illusory crown prince, and the position of Chu Jun will not fall on the head of the big prince and the second prince in the end.
Huo Zheng was stunned. The bright eyes in front of him were full of sarcasm. He just felt his anger burning more and more. He couldn't help reaching out to catch her chin: "what are you trying to say?"
Zhao Shushu smiles more happily. Her eyebrows and eyes are curved. He used to like her heartless and heartless happy appearance most, but now her eyes are full of irony.
Zhao Shushu didn't speak, so he pinched her chin and forced her to look at him.
His chin was pinched by his palm. Zhao Shushu was forced to raise her eyes to look at huozheng. Huozheng's eyes were gloomy and unreal. He stared at her, as if there was a fire in his eyes.
Zhao Shushu smiled: "nothing. My concubine just wanted to say that my concubine Tong Ruier has never had an unreasonable desire for the position of a prince. Your highness is the Queen's mother, your Majesty's eldest son, and a natural prince. The foundation of the country is unshakable, and the country cannot be without a prince for a day. Please establish your highness as a prince as soon as possible and set the foundation of the country as soon as possible."
She doesn't want to argue any more. She just wants to leave the damn palace with Ruier as soon as possible. The only one who can let rui'er leave the palace is Jiu fan. Unfortunately, rui'er is still too young and has to wait for several years to be granted the king.
However, if the Grand Prince seals the crown prince first, perhaps Ruier will have a chance to seal the king. She's going to check the youngest grade of princes and try to lean up. As for herself, she remembers that there was a precedent in the previous dynasty when the emperor was not Hong and the concubines became vassals with their sons. She asked to become vassals with her sons. She thought that without her eye-catching light bulb, huozheng, who was waiting to take his sweetheart into the imperial palace for two nights, would be very happy and would certainly agree.
Where can she go with rui'er? She has lived in the capital for a long time, and has been longing for the drizzle and breeze in the south of the Yangtze River. If Ruier's fief is in the south of the Yangtze River, it would be better. It's bitter and cold in the north. I'm afraid she can't adapt to the climate in the north. However, if she can leave the Forbidden City, she is willing to go to the frontier fortress.
The more Zhao Shushu thought about it, the happier she was. She was eager to leave the bird cage in the palace now. At the corner of her eyes, Huo Zheng's face was gloomy and terrible.
Do you think what she just said is not sincere enough?
Zhao Shushu vowed that what she just said was absolutely sincere. Now, like the queen, she sincerely hopes that the great prince will ascend the throne of Prince as soon as possible. But Huo Zheng's face was very ugly. He looked at her and suddenly hit the edge of the bed with a fist.
With a loud noise, Zhao Shushu was surprised, but saw a corner of the red sandalwood carved dragon beside the bed. Huo Zheng's eyes looked at her deeply and walked outside the hall without saying a word.
