Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

Qing Yu quickly shook his head, "I'm fine, Brother Zhou."

She paid attention to Concubine Zheng's condition, her face remained calm, and she remained bent over. The maids were so scared that they knelt on the ground.

Seeing that she was fine, Xiao Yanzhou turned around and warned her, "Remember, she is a princess, not a slave. If you don't know how to talk anymore, do you want your tongue gone?"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

The two maids began to tremble because of this sentence, their heads buried in the ground, and they kept begging.

"Yes, I'll remember that." Concubine Zheng's tone changed slightly, but she immediately adjusted back to normal.

"It was my fault that I didn't teach them well. I contradicted the princess and angered His Majesty."

"Since it was your negligence, you will be punished yourself."

"Yes, I understand."

Xiao Yanzhou didn't say anything else. He took her hand and walked away. He heard a woman's voice behind him.

"Farewell to Your Majesty."

Qing Yu turned around and looked at the woman. The woman didn't stand up until they were far away.

This Imperial Concubine Zheng was indeed extremely beautiful, but she was not as arrogant and domineering as she imagined. She had the power given by Xiao Yanzhou and her own influence, so why was she so cautious?

Is it just because it’s in front of Xiao Yanzhou?

After walking for a while, Qing Yu spoke weakly, "Brother Zhou, have I gotten into trouble?"

Considering the current time, Xiao Yanzhou should still be handling government affairs.

Xiao Yanzhou came to his senses and realized that he was still holding her hand, so he quickly and naturally let go.

Seeing the worry in her eyes, he comforted her with a smile, "It's nothing, Xiao Yu, it's just a small matter."

"Then, is Brother Zhou unhappy?" She pinched her fingers, her eyes full of apology.

"How could that be? I just heard that Xiaoyu ran away, and I looked for her everywhere, thinking that maybe she came here and couldn't get out."

She opened her eyes wide in shock, "Brother Zhou's guess is so accurate."

"Hehe." Xiao Yanzhou raised his lips and smiled as if he had expected it.

He heard the eunuch say that she seemed to want to go in and take a look, and guessed that she must have gotten lost inside.

Seeing this, she immediately explained what happened just now, "I didn't mean to do that. I really couldn't get out. I didn't see anyone else, only the guy just now... Brother Zhou came before I could say a few words."

"It's Brother Zhou's fault. He shouldn't have abandoned Xiaoyu." If he had come a little later, he would have been bullied for nothing again.

She shook her head and promised, "I will try my best to remember the way next time and won't get lost again."

He listened to the point of her words, which was not that he would not run around, but that he would remember the way.

Xiao Yu is really smart and cute. This is a reminder for him. Will he still run around?

"Okay." He agreed, curling the corners of his lips and leaning against her, naturally without exposing her.

In a blink of an eye, they walked through the court together, ready to take her back to the bedroom.

"Isn't Brother Zhou still busy?" She stopped, puzzled.

"It's almost lunch time, let's eat with Xiaoyu first."

There is always a smile on her delicate face, and a playful look like a kitten, which makes people want to capture this eternal beauty.

"Okay." She answered obediently, but then she thought of something, "If Brother Zhou doesn't mind, I can accompany Brother Zhou to handle government affairs in the afternoon."

"Really?" His deep eyebrows were tinged with a smile, "Won't Xiaoyu feel bored?"

If she could come to accompany him, he would be so happy.

"No, I came to the palace just to accompany Brother Zhou, and I made Brother Zhou spend time looking for me."

"Haha, Xiao Yu is really..." He was so happy.

Such pleasing words came out of her mouth, yet they were so sincere.

Lunch was quickly served when they returned to the bedroom. There were dishes on the table, and except for the ones she particularly liked, all other dishes were unique.

He looked at her with a smile on his face, and his appetite improved when he ate with her.

"It's delicious." She drank the tea contentedly.

"It seems that Xiaoyu likes the sweet and sour pork ribs the most." It was obviously available in these meals and he ate it all at every meal.

She laughed happily, "Yes, I like them all."

However, her eyes remained on his face, as if she had something to say.

"Brother Zhou."

"what happened?"

"Isn't that imperial concubine Brother Zhou's wife? I thought Brother Zhou should favor her more." She asked the question that was in her mind.

Since she was so loved, why couldn't she feel it just now? Where did that love come from?

He suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at her.

The answer is very simple. To him, she is not his wife, but the interests behind it. Pampering her is just a choice of interests and power.

If you compare all this to what she is now, it's nothing.

Seeing him staring at her without an answer, she smiled and said, "I understand, Brother Zhou."

He was slightly startled, "Xiao Yu understand?"

"Yeah." The childish innocence disappeared from her face in an instant, and she said, "Brother Zhou doesn't love her."

"Love..." He muttered the word.

It was as if it was something he had never thought about since he became conscious. For him, power always came first.

He couldn't understand what kind of person would use love to preserve his own life.

He came to his senses from his deep thoughts and smiled, "At such a young age, Xiao Yu has already understood something as profound as love."

"I don't really understand, but if Brother Ruozhou loves her, he should care about her more, no matter if he is right or wrong, no matter who it is, he should only think about her."

"Xiao Yu, don't you think it's incredible that the royal family owns such a thing?"

For the emperor, the royal family and him, who else could use this kind of "love", or more likely, who needs such a thing.

But she was not confused by his words. Instead, she smiled as if she understood.

"It is difficult, but when love is deep, you can't help yourself."

"Haha, every time I talk to Xiaoyu, I have a new experience." To be more precise, her thinking is always beyond imagination.

He looked at her with confusion. Everything about her was right, yet it seemed as if nothing was right. The deeper she hid, the more he wanted to investigate.

What is her connection with the Jiang Mansion and Prince Xiao? Is she a pawn being used? Or a sheep being led around?

……

In the afternoon, Xiao Yanzhou took her to the court. Knowing that she liked reading, he asked someone to bring her a few books, and then he focused on handling government affairs.

She obediently read a book aside and sat there for more than an hour.

She noticed Xiao Yanzhou's face from the book, his handsome and delicate features, his tall and three-dimensional nose, his domineering aura, yet also his gentleness of a gentleman.

With focused eyes, slightly furrowed brows, and pursed thin lips, she suddenly had some ideas in her mind.

She put down the book in her hand, quietly took a pen and rice paper, and dipped it in the black ink next to his right hand.

It seemed like a simple action, but Li, the eunuch standing by, felt his heart rise to his throat.

They knew that His Majesty hated being disturbed when handling government affairs, but they noticed the smile on His Majesty's lips and felt relieved.

In fact, when she looked at him, Xiao Yanzhou had already discovered that those pure and enchanting eyes could not be ignored at all.

He pretended to be calm, just curious about what Xiaoyu wanted to do.

He glanced at her writing, and it turned out that having someone by your side really makes you happy.
