【Rebirth】Emperor's favorite

In the Weiyang Palace.

Tuobayi has been guarding Shaozixiao all night without sleep.At noon, he couldn't hold it any longer, so he sat on the edge of the bed and took a nap.

It happened that when Tuoba Yi fell asleep, Shao Zixiao woke up.

Before opening his eyes, Shao Zixiao felt a lingering pain all over his body.

After struggling to open his eyes, Shao Zixiao soon found Tuobayi sitting beside the bed.

like a dream.

Shao Zixiao stretched out his hand slowly, and lightly touched Tuobayi's body.

It turned out that I was not dreaming.

At this moment, it seems that all the pain is gone.Shao Zixiao looked at Tuobayi who was dozing off, and smiled weakly.

At this time, a court lady came in with a medicine bowl.

"My lord, are you awake? The medicine is ready, please drink it quickly!"

Shao Zixiao wanted her to speak softly so as not to wake up Tuobayi.

But before he could speak, Tuobayi woke up.

"Zi Xiao, how do you feel now? Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

"I don't believe it. It must be very painful to be beaten like this! I really can't imagine that a person as gentle as jade like the prime minister would hit such a heavy hand? Are you not his own?"

"Of course I was born to my father."

Shao Zixiao looked at Tuoba Yi's frown and comforted him:

"It really doesn't hurt anymore. Your Majesty, your imperial doctor is very powerful."

"Zi Xiao, don't call me Your Majesty."

"Okay, Yi."

"Well, then you can call me that for now."

"For the time being? Your Majesty, what do you want me to call you?" (I'm obviously already calling you very intimately...)

"Of course it's my husband!"

Hearing this, Shao Zixiao's eyes suddenly dimmed.

Seeing this, Tuoba Yi hurriedly held Shao Zixiao's hand and said:

"Zi Xiao, we will be able to be together openly and aboveboard, trust me!"

"I……"

At this time, the palace maid holding the medicine at the side said cautiously:

"Your Majesty, the medicine is going to be cold, let the young master drink it first."

When Tuobayi took the medicine bowl, he glanced at the court lady, feeling a little familiar—isn't this the maid next to Shao Zixiao in the previous life?

This maid looks pretty good.At least he didn't become bigger because Zixiao was not favored.

"Is your name Fu Ling?"

"Yes."

"In the future, you will serve Zixiao."

"The slaves obey the order."

"Well, you go down first."

When Shao Zixiao heard their conversation, his heart became cold again.

"Your Majesty's words just now mean that you really want to make me a noble concubine?"

"No, it's the queen."

"What if I don't want to?"

As soon as Shao Zixiao finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing at himself.

"You are the emperor now, so you don't have to ask me what you want. What's more, the city is full of trouble now. Besides marrying you, do I have any other choice?"

Seeing Shao Zixiao's pitiful smile, Tuoba Yi's heart twitched.

"Zi Xiao, drink the medicine first."

Shao Zixiao took the medicine bowl from Tuobayi and drank it down.

Of course the medicine is bitter, but his heart is even more bitter.

Seeing the tears falling from the corners of Shao Zixiao's eyes, Tuobayi forgot the wounds on his body and hugged him directly.

"Zixiao, I can do anything else according to you, but this matter...you let me decide. Because I...love you so much!"

Shao Zixiao was hugged tightly by him, and couldn't stop crying, but this time, it was from pain.

"It hurts... let me go first!"

Hearing this, Tuobayi hurriedly let go.

"I'm sorry Zixiao, I forgot you were still injured."

"It's all right. By the way, how is my brother?"

"Your brother? I don't know, I don't even know him..."

"Yes, how did Your Majesty know my elder brother?"

"Zixiao, your elder brother is my elder brother. It's just...I'm a little busy recently. I'll invite him to the palace in two days. You can introduce us, okay?"

"No need. Your Majesty has so many things to do every day, how can you have this leisure time?"

"He's my brother-in-law, how can I not know him?"

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to marry you. It's just that, as you can see, everyone doesn't support us being together, including my father. It's not necessarily that they are all wrong, only the two of us are right Right? Besides, my father won't harm me..."

Tuoba Yi heard the words, sighed and said:

"So Zixiao, after talking for a long time, you still don't want to."

"Even if I don't want to, His Majesty has made up his mind, like an arrow on the string, he has to do it. Isn't it?"

"Zixiao, I was wrong. I shouldn't have asked you to call me 'husband' just now, but now you don't even want to call me 'Ayi'..."

"Your Majesty, please don't change the subject."

"Okay. Zixiao, as you said, the city is already full of troubles. Apart from being my queen, I'm afraid you have no better choice."

"It's still the concubine."

"what?"

"Your Majesty, everyone knows the late emperor's last edict. Please follow the late emperor's last edict and make Taifu Zhu's daughter the queen."

Tuobayi heard the words and said disdainfully:

"What is she? She deserves to be my queen?"

Shao Zixiao said with a wry smile:

"Your Majesty, at least she is the queen that everyone expects."

Tuobayi's gaze keenly caught Shao Zixiao's smile.

Even if it was a wry smile, it was still captivating, it hooked his soul anyway.

"Zi Xiao, you are so beautiful."

Shao Zixiao lowered his head, trying to avoid Tuobayi's scorching gaze.

Seeing this, Tuobayi didn't mind.

"Zi Xiao, you just drank the medicine, lie down and take a nap."

Shao Zixiao lay down obediently.Although he was still in pain, he forced himself to close his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Seeing that Shao Zixiao seemed to be asleep, Tuobayi hurried to the Zhengshitang.

It's just that not long after Tuobayi left, the Queen Mother came to Weiyang Palace.

Shao Zixiao hadn't fallen asleep at first, and hurriedly opened his eyes when he heard the movement.

He saw a graceful woman approaching the bed.

"Empress Dowager?"

Shao Zixiao struggled to sit up, but was held down by the Queen Mother.

"You're hurt, just lie on the bed with peace of mind."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

"Are you sure I'm the queen mother?"

"I can't think of another woman who can freely enter and leave Weiyang Palace."

"It's true that I'm the only one now, but soon, there will be another woman who can freely enter and leave Weiyang Palace. I just hope that you can tolerate her."

Of course Shao Zixiao knew who the woman the Queen Mother was talking about was.

Even though he had forced himself to accept the reality, he was still heartbroken.
