The gentleman is a bit cheap

There was also a trace of blood on the ground.

Looking down in astonishment, he saw a trace of blood on the shy and timid Xiao Xuanzhi's lips.

The cuckoo is crying blood!

Emperor Yuan Hao immediately thought of such an allusion.

Xiao Xuanzhi, who is so shy and timid, but weak and weak, is really so beautiful that it makes people tremble.

In fact, from anyone's point of view, Xiao Xuanzhi is a classical beauty who is dignified, beautiful, elegant and generous in the traditional sense.

She has slender eyebrows, eyes like autumn water, a high nose bridge, thin lips and slender lips, regular facial features, and a delicate and delicate oval face.

Therefore, it is flexible and delicate, with a lively appearance, without any effort, it can make people feel soul-stirring.

Usually, she only needs to dress up a bit, no matter whether she looks like a man or a woman, she can casually fascinate those men and women who are just beginning to fall in love.

But now, she is as beautiful as the cuckoo crying blood, so beautiful that it makes one's heart tremble!

It is also... so beautiful that it makes people feel distressed!

Emperor Yuan Hao stared blankly at the blood-stained handkerchief for a long time, then moved his eyes, locked Xiao Xuanzhi's pupils tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "This... Xiao Qing is all right?!..."

Xiao Xuanzhi lowered his head sadly, and said softly: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

As she said that, her frail and boneless body slid lightly, as if she was about to bow down again.

Emperor Yuan Hao hurriedly supported her, and said softly: "Xiao Qing, sit and talk, I have said it, and I won't blame you. Don't you believe the golden words of the emperor?"

Xiao Xuanzhi's eyes fluttered, he looked straight at Emperor Yuanhao, and said gracefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Covering his lips and coughing twice, Xiao Xuanzhi took the tea bowl with trembling fingertips, took a sip lightly, then put down the tea bowl, and said eloquently: "I beg Your Majesty to forgive me... Chenqie... Chenqie's old illness is actually body……"

Emperor Yuan Hao pulled a stool and sat down beside her, and asked softly: "Old disease? ——It's okay, Xiao Qing, please speak slowly."

Xiao Xuanzhi's eyes were filled with tears, and he choked up and said: "The concubine was infected with the wind and cold when she was young, and after being cured, she fell into such a hidden disease. Whenever she was flustered and uneasy, her blood would surge up...Chenqie...Chenqie is really right Can't help your Majesty...

Entering the palace today, I was supposed to serve him well and please His Majesty, but I didn't want... I didn't want to be sick at this moment, and even disturbed the holy car...

The concubine...the concubine really deserves death! ... Cough, cough, cough..." Saying this, she lowered her head again, coughing in pain.

Emperor Yuan Hao's scalp was numb, and he said in a panic, "Xiao Qing, don't panic! It will be bad if you get angry again!... It's okay, it's okay, you just calm down, obediently, just calm down , don't worry, I will never blame you."

Xiao Xuanzhi touched the teacup again with trembling fingertips, took a sip cautiously, Lihua wept with rain, and then said slowly: "My father... my father originally wanted to send my sister into the palace.

Just because my concubine is troublesome, I feel sorry for her when she is still young and mentally undeveloped, and I am afraid that not only will she not be able to please His Majesty, but she may even make the awkward temper of some younger daughters angry with His Majesty... In this way, my concubine will be able to To make decisions without authorization, to enter the palace..."

Emperor Yuan Hao smiled slightly, took his bright yellow silk handkerchief smoked with sandalwood from his bosom, gently wiped away the tears for Xiao Xuanzhi, and said softly: "I pity Xiao Qing's heart. I know you This is for my own good, thank you very much."

Xiao Xuanzhi shook his head, and said with earnest eyes: "Your Majesty...you really disrespect the concubines...Serving the king and putting the king first in everything is the duty of a concubine...a concubine should be like this."

Emperor Yuan Hao smiled slightly, wiped her tears gently, and said softly: "It's okay. Then, you should rest well first. Today is your first day in the palace. I shouldn't be so eager .”

Xiao Xuanzhi frowned slightly, shook his head anxiously and said: "How could it be His Majesty's fault, it's really a concubine..."

Emperor Yuan Hao smiled slightly, stretched out his index finger and stuck it on Xiao Xuanzhi's lips, signaling her not to speak.

Then, he said softly: "You have a good rest, don't lose your temper. I will come to see you tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Yuan Hao turned his head in the direction of the embroidery door, and raised his voice: "Come on!——"

"The servant is here."

Those who responded were Yaoyue and Lianxing who were guarding the side hall.

After a while, they opened the embroidered door and entered the inner room one after another with low eyebrows.

Emperor Yuan Hao said in a deep voice: "The two of you must be the dowry maids from Xiao Qing's family?"

Yaoyue and Lianxing nodded obediently, lowered their eyebrows and said: "Back to the emperor, the slaves and servants are the maids who were married to General Xiao's residence."

Emperor Yuanhao nodded, and said softly: "Okay, then I can rest assured. ——You two, remember to take good care of your little master, and don't let her bother you."

Yaoyue and Lianxing said in unison: "Yes, I will obey the imperial decree."

Emperor Yuanhao nodded, then turned to Xiao Xuanzhi and said, "Xiao Qing, you can rest here, I'm going first."

Xiao Xuanzhi staggered and struggled to get up, and said weakly: "Chenqie...Chenqie is going to send His Majesty off..."

Emperor Yuan Hao waved his hands and said softly, "It's okay."

Xiao Xuanzhi sobbed twice, and pursed his lips: "Then... Yaoyue, you can go see your Majesty off."

Yaoyue bowed and blessed him, and said respectfully: "Yes." Then he turned his face and lowered his eyebrows to give Emperor Yuan Hao a blessing, and said softly: "Your Majesty will be escorted out by this servant."

Emperor Yuanhao nodded, then got up and followed Yaoyue out the door.

Watching them go away, Xiao Xuanzhi stood up and moved his body beautifully, and immediately smiled at Lian Xing with a beaming smile on his face.

And yes, she laughed so cheaply.

Now, she didn't see the sickly and delicate appearance before.

Lian Xing pretended to be stern and glared at Xiao Xuanzhi, without making a sound, she only signaled with a slightly exaggerated lip language: "Be careful..."

Xiao Xuanzhi nodded, opened his mouth wide like he was eating people, and replied with even more exaggerated lip language: "Okay..."

Lian Xing couldn't help but give her a blank look.

So, Xiao Xuanzhi coughed several times at the top of his throat and pretended to be painful, "Oh, hum, hum" several times.

After a while, Yaoyue came back with a smile on her face and light steps.

Xiao Xuanzhi frowned narrowly and said: "Sent away?"

Yaoyue nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "Send it off."

After thinking for a while, Fang added: "Don't worry, I sent him all the way outside the palace wall, and hid in the dark to observe carefully for a while. I saw him go far away, and I just came back."

Xiao Xuanzhi smiled pretentiously and clapped Yaoyue's hands: "Okay! That's great!—"

Yaoyue shook her head, and said: "Shhh!——Don't be too happy. The twelve servants who were assigned here still don't know the details.

That's it, you guys do your calculations first, I'll go out and make some arrangements, first settle them down, and get some useful information by the way. "

Xiao Xuanzhi smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Okay...then I will have to ask sister Yaoyue."

After Yao Yue left, Xiao Xuanzhi took Lian Xing out of the inner room and sat down in the cool and ventilated outer hall.

At this time, a lot of fruits and snacks have been prepared on the table in the outhouse.

Xiao Xuanzhi naturally guessed what these things were prepared for - after all, this person would always feel hungry.

Xiao Xuanzhi sat down at the table, reached out and grabbed an apple that was half the size of a face, and gnawed on it, while humming vaguely: "Small...is it just so good? Boring!

I don't want to, this thief is planning a strategy in the court, and when he saw a woman in the harem, he became dizzy and confused... Hmph, Emperor Yuanhao... Dead mouse , let's see how your aunt plays with you..."

Having achieved great success, Xiao Xuanzhi was naturally proud and full of contempt.

Lianxing smiled slightly, put an unpeeled grape into her mouth, and poured cold water on her face indifferently: "Xiao Xiao, how do you know that he is not pretending? He is thirty, you are eighteen, he is better than you anyway." What a reincarnation mind!"

Xiao Xuanzhi giggled, and said sweetly: "Of course I know. Because I am a 'beautiful girl like a flower', I can fascinate him...——

Sister Lian Xing, you don't know wow, when I acted in "Cuckoo Crying Blood" just now, the look on his face is really interesting!

It's that kind...um... Let me tell you in plain language, it's that kind of expression that is flustered, amazed, pity, and obsessed——

Ha ha ha ha! ——It’s really interesting!Let me tell you, when I looked at his face at that time, it was so close that I couldn't hold back my smile...

Then I kept biting the back of my tongue fiercely, and pinched my own thigh fiercely with my right hand. Only then did I finally hold back my laughter and maintain that delicate and lovely look. appearance, otherwise... tsk tsk, that would be really amazing! ——

In this regard, I am indeed a little inferior.Of course, it is only on this 'one aspect'. As for other aspects, I am still very satisfied, very satisfied, particularly satisfied, and extremely satisfied. ..."

Lianxing smiled helplessly, sighed as if worried, only picked grapes to eat, but didn't speak.

Today is the past.

However, after all, the future is uncertain, and I really don't know how to deal with it in the future...

He squinted his eyes and looked at Lian carefully.
