emperor cold concubine

Chapter 527
He had thought about this question countless times in his mind, but he never dared to ask it.

He knew that he was too hateful, his family was ruined since he was a child, and he and his elder brother depended on each other in the Prime Minister's mansion, and his elder brother protected him so well that he never really experienced the suffering in the world.

The master loves him even more than he loves Mo Li. He has always enjoyed such love for granted. However, he has suppressed anxiety countless times in his heart - he is afraid, afraid of such love. Compensation for asylum.

He didn't dare to say, think, or ask, for he was afraid that if he asked, he would get the answer he was most afraid of.

He knew he shouldn't have such doubts, but...

"Shuhe." Yue Xiao was silent for a long time before quietly looking at him with softer eyes than ever before, with pity in his gentle voice, "At first, when master and I went to South Vietnam together, he didn't I didn't know about the existence of you and Shu Tong—you should know that the master was cold-tempered at that time and never paid attention to some insignificant outsiders."

Shu He's mind was shocked, and his nails dug into his palm in an instant. The sharp pain couldn't overcome the sudden burst of coldness in his heart, "You mean, to master, my brother and I are just two insignificant things. outsider……"

"At first, yes." Yue Xiao's tone was calm, a little too calm and indifferent, "But Shuhe, you will know better than me what kind of person the master is—the reason why you saved you and Shu Tong, it was indeed because of Shu Tong's protection of Mo Li in the Prime Minister's Mansion. But later on, you and Mo Li received the same treatment, and the master favored you more, definitely not because of Mo Li. Because, The two lives of you and Shu Tong are enough to repay Shu Tong for protecting Mo Li."

After the words fell, Yue Xiao found that Shu He's face was completely pale, and the pain and deep despair could not be hidden in his eyes, which looked extremely pitiful.

"...Really?" After a long while, Shu He said this sentence in a low voice, his eyes blurred, staring at the corner of the table in a daze, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

Perhaps, nothing.

Or maybe, he no longer has the heart to think about more things...

"Shuhe." Yue Xiao called softly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "What I mean, don't you understand?"

After the words fell, Shu He acted as if he hadn't heard it, Yue Xiao poured himself a bowl of wine, picked it up and took a sip, waiting for Shu He to recover.

After a full cup of tea, Shu He slowly raised his head, his eyes were as red as a rabbit, and he couldn't bear to look directly at him, "Brother Yue, what do you mean by...?"

At this moment, no one who sees Shuhe will think that he is the red-clothed general who conquered four countries one after another in one go—

Too embarrassed.

How could an imposing man even learn to cry?What a shame.

Yue Xiao glanced at him, and said lightly: "It's nothing interesting, you can think about it yourself."

think for yourself...

Shuhe's mind is very confused now, how can he have extra energy to think about it?
Yue Xiao naturally understood in his heart, sighed lightly, and said: "Shuhe, don't you understand the temper of the master? If he didn't really like you, how could he treat you so favorably because of a little kindness? I just As I said, the two lives of you and Shu Tong are enough to repay Shu Tong for protecting Mo Li in the prime minister's residence."

Hearing this, Shu He was taken aback for a moment.

So, is it really because of love, not for other reasons?
The master has never been on guard against him?

"Then why..." At this point, Shu He's voice dropped again, with a look of pain that never faded, "...Why did the master leave Mo Li in the imperial capital, but sent me so far away? He clearly knew ...I clearly know that I don't want to leave."

"Who said the master is going to send you away?"

As soon as these words came out, Shu He obviously didn't react. He looked up at Yue Xiao, and said in a daze: "Didn't the master seal me as Qinglong King? The imperial decree was issued."

"So what?" Yue Xiao asked back.

so what?

Shu He was stunned, "Brother Yue, don't you understand what I mean? Qinglong King guards the east, and the land is four thousand miles away, thousands of miles away from the imperial capital..."

Yue Xiao was about to laugh at him again, this kid, ask him if he understands what he means?
Who is it that doesn't understand who?
"Shuhe." I really want to knock his head open to see, why did the always clever guy suddenly become so stupid?

"On the second day after the master returned to the palace four months ago, he issued an order for everyone - including Zi Yu, Mo Li, Yi Xiu, Shu Tong, and you, to build buildings on both sides of Xuanwu Street. the mansion."

Shu He was stunned for a long time when he heard the words, "Build a mansion?"

"Yes." Yue Xiao said, "It will take about two years to complete."

"But..." Shu He frowned, as if he couldn't figure it out, but there was an inadvertent hope leaking from the corners of his eyes and brows, "Then why... the master made such a decree now?"

"Shuhe, the master just made you the Qinglong King and gave you a fief of four thousand miles, and didn't say that you must stay in the fief and not return to the imperial capital..." Yue Xiao finally couldn't help it, stretched out his hand and grabbed his waist. Ear, "What is the reason that gave you the illusion that the master sent you?"

"Brother Yue, it hurts..." Shu He hissed, "But..."

"Don't make any more fuss." Yue Xiao glared at him, "Indiscriminate questioning, even Mo Li is from Cang Yue, and you are from Nanyue, I can't figure it out, why are you suddenly Are you so bold?"

Shuhe had figured it out at this time, but he was a bit confused and speechless.

Not only did he rebelliously ask his master, "Why can Mo Li stay in the imperial capital, but I can't?" He even doubted his master's intentions——

Thinking that the master is guarding against him.

She thought it was because Mo Li was from Cang Yue, but he was not, so it was doomed that he would never be able to compare with Mo Li's status in the heart of the master, so he had to stay away from the imperial capital...

It turned out that everything was a misunderstanding of my own cleverness.

The nine kingdoms are united, and the country is thousands of miles away. All parties need a guarding general, but because the power of the imperial court is beyond their reach, the enfeoffment of the four kings is just a deterrent.

This is different from enfeoffing the princes. They don't need to stay in the fief, and they don't need to deal with various miscellaneous government affairs. As long as there are no major events such as rebellion, they can completely stay out of it and treat themselves as idle kings.

At the same time, they have full power in their hands.

After Shu He figured it out, he breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly remembered the angry look in his master's eyes just now, and suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body turned cold.

He raised his head and looked at Yue Xiao helplessly, "Brother Yue, I..."

Yue Xiao smiled slightly, "Seek good fortune for yourself, I can't do anything... Amitabha."
