Chapter 541

A thought faintly emerged in Su Jiu's mind.

If Empress Zhao wanted to beat someone up, she would definitely not just say a few words.

Xiao Tingchen, he...

Are you punishing yourself?
The next morning.

When Su Jiu woke up, he saw the man lying prone on the short table.

She stepped out of the screen, took a blanket and covered his shoulders.

His eyes fell on the desk. There was a pile of handwritten Buddhist scriptures beside the man's hand. She was very familiar with the lower script with the hairpin on it.

The girl rubbed her eyes, "Xiao Tingchen..."

This man always fights with her on weekdays, and always looks for opportunities to bully her.

However, when she was in danger, he was always the first to rush to protect her.

The girl was in a complicated mood, so she didn't let the maid disturb his sleep, and lightly washed and changed his clothes.

Changing into a light green jacket, she left the tent with the pile of Buddhist scriptures.

She is going to see Mrs. Zhao.

Xiao Tingchen has already done a lot for her, and this trip will definitely be humiliated, Xiao Tingchen is so proud, she doesn't want him to be humiliated by the Zhao family.

Stepping into Zhao's tent, the maid inside was packing up the box and preparing to return to the mansion to bury Xiao Jingzhen.

Mrs. Zhao seemed to have aged ten years overnight, staring at Su Jiu who stepped in, wanting to tear her eyes apart.

Su Jiu stood beside the bed.

Xiao Jingzhen was lying on the couch, changed into a luxurious beaded hairpin dress, and her makeup for the coffin was done.

Su Jiu looked at it for a while, then said softly, "Sister Xiao fell into the water because of me. I feel guilty, I didn't sleep all night yesterday, and I specially copied Buddhist scriptures for Sister Xiao, hoping that she will have a good pregnancy in the next life."

After finishing speaking, he carefully put the Buddhist scriptures into the brazier one by one.

Mrs. Zhao got up suddenly, rushed up and grabbed her by the collar, "You killed my Zhen'er, and you dare to come to the door to apologize! Su Jiu, why do I want you to copy Buddhist scriptures?! I want your life!"

Su Jiu's eyebrows and eyes were calm, "I cherish my life."

"you--"

Su Jiu opened her fingers one by one, "I've done everything I can. If Mrs. Shangshu is still not satisfied, you can make trouble in front of the queen."

The Empress still has use for Xiao Tingchen, but the Zhao family is useless.

She didn't believe that the queen would stand up for the Zhao family again, which chilled the hearts of her subordinates.

Zhao Shi clenched her teeth tightly in hatred, blood spilled from the gap between her teeth, as if she was furious.

After a long time, she suddenly sneered, "The empress does not want your life to pay, so I will personally make you pay for it!"

She picked up the candlestick and slammed it at Su Jiu's head!
Su Jiu dodged and quickly stepped outside the tent.

Mrs. Zhao refused to give up, and chased her with a candlestick!
While running away, Su Jiu bumped into a man suddenly!
She raised her eyes, and the man had a pair of peach blossom eyes, at first glance he was quite similar to Xiao Tingchen.

Although he is middle-aged, his face is extremely handsome and elegant, and he is dressed in a dragon robe, making him noble and alienated.

She hurriedly knelt down, "Give your respect to the emperor. Mrs. Shang Shu insisted that it was the minister's wife who killed side concubine Xiao, and she wanted to kill the minister's wife. I beg the emperor to make the decision for the minister's wife!"

Mrs. Zhao ran over disheveled.

Seeing the emperor here, she hurriedly knelt down, "My wife...my wife has seen the emperor..."

The emperor narrowed his eyes.

He was playing with a string of Buddhist beads, "Mrs. Shang Shu is so old, so inappropriate, it really broke my mood."

Zhao was frightened and put her head on the ground.

The emperor flicked the beads.

Mrs. Zhao trembled all over, knowing that this meant asking her to back down, she hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

The emperor looked at Su Jiu, "I don't want to pursue Xiao Jingzhen's death."

Su Jiu lowered his head slightly.

"Get up and take me to Huaijin's tent."

"Yes……"

Su Jiu led the emperor to the tent, remembering that Xiao Tingchen was going to kill the emperor, he couldn't help but secretly glanced at the emperor.

From the emperor, she could not feel any hostility towards Xiao Tingchen.

His feelings for Xiao Tingchen are like those of a virtuous emperor, but more like a father and son.

The girl withdrew her gaze and said casually: "The concubine Xiao died because of my wife. The prince and the wife felt guilty, so they copied Buddhist scriptures for Concubine Xiao together. The prince didn't sleep all night, and he is still resting in the tent. "

"Still asleep?"

The emperor looked ahead, his thin lips curled up in a funny way.

From his tone of voice, Su Jiu inexplicably heard a hint of pampering.

She said respectfully: "My lord has always worked hard, so I can't bear to wake him up."

The phrase "always worked hard" made the emperor's eyes move slightly.

He said lightly, "Tell me about Huai Jin's past."

Su Jiu said softly, "My lord is a concubine in the mansion, and he has had a harder life than his son since he was a child. His lord often said that the people who love him the most in the world are, firstly, his teacher Sikong, and secondly, his grandmother. His grandmother's death has dealt a great blow to the lord. However, The emperor cares so much for the prince, presumably in the prince's heart, the emperor has become the most important person."

These words sounded appropriate to the emperor.

There was a little more smile on his face, he gathered the Buddha beads together, and walked faster.

Su Jiu clearly captured the relief and expectation in his eyes.

Thankfully she can understand, but why expect it?
When he came to the tent, Xiao Tingchen was still sleeping on the low table.

The eunuch was about to sing, but the emperor raised his hand to stop him.

He sat down beside Xiao Tingchen.

He personally wrapped up the blanket for Xiao Tingchen, and when he saw the black and blue under his eyes, the always majestic Longmu showed a bit of pity.

His fingertips lightly touched Xiao Tingchen's eyes. Even if the peach blossom eyes were closed, they still looked good, very much like himself.

And his lip shape is the same as hers.

If she hadn't died, their child should be as old as Huai Jin.

The emperor stared at his face, slightly lost in thought.

Xiao Tingchen fluttered his eyelashes and slowly opened his eyes.

As far as the eye can see, it is the emperor's missing expression.

miss?

Xiao Tingchen squinted his eyes, and the emperor showed this emotion to him again.

Since coming to Chang'an, he has seen it more than once.

He lowered his brows and narrowed his eyes, stood up and saluted the emperor, "I don't know if the emperor is coming, I'm not far away to welcome you, I'm rude."

The emperor smiled, "It's okay. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I brought some here to eat with you."

Two servants came forward with food boxes and respectfully spread out various food on the short table.

The plate-to-plate breakfast is exquisite and delicate, mostly in the taste of southerners.

"You grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. I thought, you should like sweets, so I specially ordered the imperial chef to make these for you. Try it."

He handed Xiao Tingchen a pair of chopsticks.

Su Jiu knelt and sat behind Xiao Tingchen, astonished beyond measure.

The emperor came to the door with breakfast in person, Xiao Tingchen was probably the only one in the court who could receive this honor.

What kind of feelings did the emperor have towards Xiao Tingchen? !

After breakfast, Su Jiu respectfully saw off the emperor before turning to Xiao Tingchen.

The man took out two peach blossom cakes from his sleeve pocket like a magic trick, and smiled jokingly, "I just saw you looked at them a few more times, and guessed that you probably wanted to eat them, so I secretly kept two."

Su Jiu said in a warm voice, "The emperor treats you very well."

Xiao Tingchen didn't answer, and stuffed the peach blossom cake into her little mouth.
