Chapter 456 Concubine Xiao and Jun Zeqian
Just as he was about to leave, he heard Concubine Xiao whisper, "Wait."
Jun Zeqian frowned slightly: "What's the matter, Madam?"
"I have something to tell you." She looked at the Crown Prince, Jun Yunting narrowed her eyes, and said to Concubine Xiao: "Mother Xiao, I will go to the Queen Mother first."
At this time, apart from the palace servants, the only people left in the palace were the emperor, Concubine Xiao, and Jun Zeqian.
The emperor was still unconscious. Concubine Xiao walked up to him, looked back at the person on the couch, and whispered, "Agan."
Jun Zeqian took a step back, bowed and said, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
"Ah Gan." Seeing him like this, Concubine Xiao looked dejected: "Ah Gan, when did we become so distant?"
"My Lady Concubine, you are my elder. I respect you, not because you are unfamiliar with me." Jun Zeqian lowered his eyes and said calmly, "If you don't have anything important to do, I will leave first. Ruoyi is still waiting for me at the Queen Mother's place."
When she heard him mention Shang Ruoyi, a trace of disgust flashed in Concubine Xiao's eyes.
Shang Ruoyi, Shang Ruoyi!
It’s Shang Ruoyi again!
The name I heard most these days was Shang Ruoyi.
He Jinghe is wary of her, but Jun Zeqian loves her.
In the Western Regions, she should have been the most noble woman here, but all the limelight was taken away by Shang Ruoyi in one day.
"Agan, it was not my wish to enter the palace back then." She bit her lip, her eyes reddened: "My grandparents threatened to die, asking me to continue the glory of the Xiao family. I had no choice but to enter the palace to serve." She took a step forward, and the distance between her and Jun Zegan was only a few inches away.
She reached out and wanted to touch Jun Zeqian's frowned brows.
Jun Zeqian turned his head to the side and stepped back: "My queen, please respect yourself."
Seeing him like this, tears from Concubine Xiao's eyes fell directly.
"Agan, I didn't expect that after such a short time, you would avoid me as much as possible."
"Your Highness." Jun Zeqian finally raised his eyes to look at her, and his eyes were as cold as ice: "From the moment Your Highness decided to enter the palace, we were destined to never meet again. You are the Imperial Concubine, and I am the Prince of the City. It was before, it is now, and it will be in the future."
"What if I say I'm willing to give up everything I have now?" She said seriously, "Will you take me away from here?"
Jun Zeqian's pupils shrank slightly, and his fingers curled up slightly, seeing that his attitude had loosened a little. Concubine Xiao took another step forward, and the fragrance on her body surrounded them. Although she was not extremely beautiful, she had a hint of weakness on her body, which made people want to protect her. She used this appearance to impress Jun Zeqian before.
"Agan." She said softly, "Take me away from here! I am willing to give up my status as a concubine. Anyway, the Xiao family has already got what they wanted. Can you think of a way to take me out of the palace? I am willing to hide my identity for the rest of my life, as long as I can be by your side." She looked at him hesitantly, "Now that the emperor is in a coma, this is my best chance to leave the palace."
Jun Zeqian looked at her and gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the voice of the palace maid outside the door: "Little Princess, you can't go in."
"why?"
"The Imperial Concubine and the Prince have something to say."
Shang Ruoyi recognized her; she was Concubine Xiao's personal maid.
Seeing that she was about to go into the palace, the maid quickly stretched out her arm to block her: "Little Princess, please stay. This is the emperor's bedroom. No one is allowed to enter without being summoned. The emperor sent you to the Empress Dowager because you didn't follow the rules. Have you forgotten?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Ruoyi curled the corners of her lips slightly, stretched out her right hand, tapped her shoulder a few times, and her arm was dislocated.
"Ah!" A scream escaped from her throat.
Shang Ruoyi put her hands on her waist and said arrogantly: "Who do you think you are? How dare you block my way."
The maid held her shoulders, and Shang Ruoyi watched the movements of her hands. She understood that this maid knew medicine, and she just felt some internal force fluctuations in her body.
"My brother is still in the palace, why can't I go in? Besides, what do you think, Concubine? What do you have to say to my brother? You don't know how to avoid suspicion."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jun Zeqian walked out of the hall.
"Let's go!"
Shang Ruoyi glared at her and followed Jun Zeqian away.
Seeing the two of them walking away, the maid walked into the hall. Concubine Xiao was standing there with a sullen face. Seeing her holding her shoulder, she said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
"I don't know what Shang Ruoyi did, but my arm was dislocated."
Concubine Xiao looked disgusted and said, "You useless thing. You can't even stop her. Where are all the skills I taught you?"
"I know my mistake."
Imperial Concubine Xiao leaned on the couch and said in a deep voice, "Can'er, how long have you been with me?"
"My lady, it's been three years."
Concubine Xiao nodded: "Yes, ever since the Sect Master pointed you to me, you have been following me." She looked her up and down: "I guess you know everything about me."
Can'er was speechless. Based on his understanding of the imperial concubine, he knew that she must be asking him to do something by saying this.
"Tell me, if I ask you to dress up as this concubine and serve the emperor in this palace on my behalf, can you do it?"
Upon hearing this, Can'er ignored the pain in her arm and knelt on the ground with a plop: "My queen, I have never had any second thoughts about you. I just want to stay by your side forever."
"I know you are loyal, and that is why I will entrust you with such an important task." She stood up, walked to her side, pinched her shoulder with one hand, and exerted force with the other hand. With a "click", the dislocated arm returned to its original position.
"You are the person I trust the most. You know all my living habits very well. Only if you are my concubine, it will be seamless and will not arouse suspicion." Concubine Xiao looked at the emperor who was still unconscious on the bed and said in a cold voice: "As for this dog emperor, even if he wakes up this time, his body is of no use."
"My queen, if it's useless, you might as well report it to the Sect Master and kill him directly..." Can'er made a killing gesture with his hand. Concubine Xiao shook her head: "It's not the right time yet. He has something that the Sect Master needs. As for what it is, I don't know." She looked at him with disdain: "Otherwise, do you think I would be willing to commit myself to an old man? He's older than my father."
She glanced at Can'er and said, "Don't worry, as long as you help me deal with things in this palace, I will not let you down. When I marry the Young Sect Master, I will let you serve him. From now on, you and I will be sisters."
