Chapter 38 It's hard to choose between beautiful women
"Tui'er, tell me!" Ao Chenye directly ordered Cui'er as he didn't want to listen to Concubine Xun's words.【】
Ao Chenye's order made Cui'er no longer taboo about Concubine Xun's identity, so she opened her mouth to tell the truth: "Wang, it was Concubine Xun who suddenly hit the young lady for some reason, so the young lady fought back."
Hearing this, Ao Chenye's whole body suddenly became cold, and his eyes full of gloom and coldness locked Concubine Xun like a devil's hands tightly around her throat. That cold gaze made Concubine Xun...
Really trembling.
"Concubine Xun!"
His roar made Concubine Xun so frightened that her heartbeat almost collapsed. She did not dare to look at him, and lowered her head: "King, I am here."
She panicked and just responded like this. Even though the matter had been exposed, she still would not admit anything personally. Where no one could see, she secretly looked around with the corner of her eyes without giving up.
Why hasn’t the elder shown up yet?
Ao Chenye's cold and angry scolding continued: "You are so brave. I haven't investigated the crimes of you and Wan'er's master and servant yet, how dare you..."
However, his anger only lasted for a moment, and the elder's voice came out from the front door: "Your Majesty, please calm down first."
There is the main door of the court.
Seeing the elder walking quickly with flying white hair, Concubine Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. A cunning light quietly passed through the corner of her eyes, her eyes rolled secretly, and she began to plan something deeply...
Ao Chenye pursed his thin lips and watched the elder walking over. His brows unconsciously wrinkled. For a moment, a hint of confusion and irritation appeared in his eyes.
At this time, the elder came over.
He first looked at Ao Chenye deeply as if he was admonishing him. As if he had something to hide, Ao Chenye turned his face away and said nothing more.
Then he turned his bright eyes to Ke'er, and his gray eyebrows wrinkled with resentment for a moment, but without saying anything, he turned his eyes to Concubine Xun again.
There was a light of wisdom in his deep and wise old eyes, and he asked with some instructions: "Why did Concubine Xun attack Miss Ke'er? You are in the palace to celebrate the New Year, and it is virtuous to maintain the harmony in the harem after that.
This will also allow the king to handle national affairs without any worries."
Listening to the elder's words, Concubine Xun's lowered eyes flashed with a glimmer of success.
She secretly squeezed out her tears and raised her head. The tears slid down her red and swollen cheeks. However, she looked at the elder with an expression as if she was willing to sacrifice herself. She said without hesitation: "I am doing this for the king."
For the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, I attacked Miss Ke'er. She is not of my race, and she is a mortal who does not belong to this dimension. She will bring evil to the king sooner or later if she stays here. In order to drive her away, even if
I am not afraid of being beaten to death by her. I am doing this for the sake of clearing the emperor and preventing tragic history from happening again. Elder, can you understand my concubine’s painstaking efforts?”
She sobbed earnestly, and her two lines of tears were pitiful.
While speaking, her tearful eyes would always turn to Ao Chenye from time to time without any regrets. Her eyes were full of love enough to sacrifice herself, making it impossible for anyone to doubt her sincerity.
However, the man being looked at remained motionless, just silent with a cold handsome face, his black eyes slightly lowered, and his whole body was enveloped in a silence that could repel people thousands of miles away. No one knew
What was he thinking about.
Comparing to his lack of response, Concubine Xun did not force any response. She just withdrew her gaze sadly, bit her lip, and looked at the elder with tears streaming down her face as if she was waiting for the verdict.
Seeing Concubine Xun's sad expression of silent sacrifice, the elder nodded with emotion, obviously supporting Concubine Xun, but after all, he was a veteran of two dynasties, and he still had to show tact in dealing with things.
So, he sighed: "Concubine Xun, I understand what you are thinking, but it is not wise to use violence to solve the problem. Besides, I believe that Miss Ke'er also entered our country unintentionally, and I believe that Miss Ke'er should also be working hard."
Do you want to correct this mistake?"
When he said the last words, the elder turned to look at Ke'er, his unfathomable old eyes filled with a compelling edge.
Ke'er was stunned by this sudden sharpness. No, it should be said that when Concubine Xun said the three words "Qingjun side" and when she saw Ao Chenye just kept silent, her soul started to melt.
It seems to be deeply suppressed...
Therefore, she didn't know how to respond to the steps the elder had hinted at, but she habitually turned her eyes to Ao Chenye again.
But he didn't look at her, he still just lowered his eyes, his handsome face was always shrouded in unfathomable thoughts, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Maybe, like everyone else, he felt that she should no longer stay in this space that didn't belong to her, just because... they had been so close before, so he couldn't bear to tell her to leave.
Finally, she withdrew her gaze in despair and no longer... relied on him.
She looked at the elder in confusion, and when she saw his majestic expulsion eyes, she felt strongly that the elder wanted her to leave peacefully.
Looking at Concubine Xun again, Concubine Xun pretended to beg her to leave with tears in her eyes, as if she could really beg her to leave so humbly for Ao Chenye.
The women in the harem are really good at acting, Ke'er sneered.
Seeing that she just remained silent, the elder spoke again. This time, his tone was a bit tough: "Miss Ke'er, for the sake of everyone, you should..."
However, this time, before the elder had finished speaking, Ao Chenye, who had been silent with his eyes lowered, suddenly spoke: "Elder, that's enough! Cui'er, take Ke'er back first."
Ao Chenye's voice had a sudden burst of power, and the majesty of the emperor stood out in front of everyone, especially his domineering black eyes, which made the elder almost unable to resist and suddenly blocked everything he wanted to say.
However, the elder only paused for a moment before admonishing in a benevolent manner: "King, please think twice for the sake of the tens of thousands of people in Tenglong Kingdom!"
Ao Chenye met the elder's admonishing and worried gaze with a domineering look, and a touch of irritated frost covered his handsome face: "No need to say any more, I have my own opinion, Cui'er!"
Finally, he urged Tweety with a cold voice.
Cui'er suddenly woke up from a dream and hurriedly closed her eyes, which had been in confusion. Just now, she had been shocked by the fact that the young lady was actually a mortal.
She looked at Ke'er, and the chaos in her heart was reflected in her eyes. She didn't know how to face Ke'er. She couldn't be as close as before when she spoke. Instead, she was uncomfortably distant and polite: "Miss, please
Let’s go with this slave.”
But Ke'er just stood there quietly, looking blankly at the people with different expressions in front of her, but she didn't know where the focus was. The sudden change in front of her made her completely confused.
Mortals... Qingjun side... Jiangshan Sheji...
Paying careful attention to her confusion, Ao Chenye suppressed all kinds of incomprehensible struggles in his eyes. His eyes fell on the slap mark on her cheek, and a dull pain passed through her chest.
Seeing her standing here so blankly, as if she was alone in the world and not knowing where to go, he closed his fingers secretly, wanting to hold her in his arms, but he couldn't do it now.
Therefore, he could only suppress his impulse and rationally wake up her silent confusion: "Ke'er, you go back first."
Even though his voice was calm, it was obviously a bit gentle.
However, Ke'er, who was already lost in a daze, didn't hear it.
All she knew was that he also told her to leave...
Her heart felt like it had been scratched by a needle, and it hurt sharply. It was this uncontrollable heartache that slowly brought her eyes back to focus.
She secretly took a breath and suppressed everything deep in her heart. She narrowed her eyes, then raised her eyelids, looked around at everyone in front of her, and then shrugged as if she didn't care about anything, very Ashali.
Looking for a place to step on for his embarrassing situation, he yawned and said, "Just leave. Anyway, I just want to go back and take a nap."
As if she didn't care about anything, she waved goodbye to them cheerfully and casually like an adult, and then left in the direction of Chen Palace, followed by Cui'er.
However, no one noticed that when she turned around, tears of hurt flashed in the corners of her eyes.
Haha, for the sake of his position as emperor, for the sake of his country, he could choose to look at her silently... and let others drive her away and bully her...
To him, what is she, just... a woman who stays in bed, a woman who can be obtained and discarded at will?
…
On this side, Ao Chenye silently watched Ke'er's figure walking further and further away. That petite figure looked so fragile in the long palace corridor. This scene pressed heavily on his chest.
, so heavy that it was hard for him to breathe.
Damn it, he had never felt so powerless and annoyed at this moment...
He didn't expect the Presbyterian Council to know Ke'er's true identity so quickly, and it happened to be when Xing Mo was causing trouble, which made everything complicated and tricky.
However, now is not the time to think about this. He must calm down and think of a complete countermeasure.
Forcing himself to look away, he narrowed his dark eyes and perfectly concealed all the emotional entanglements in his eyes. When he looked at the elder, there was only calmness and reason in his eyes.
"Elder, don't you have something urgent to tell me? Concubine Xun, please come with us. I believe you would like to discuss this important matter with me and the elder!"
His gaze was unfathomable, going back and forth between the elder and Concubine Xun. His sharp wisdom seemed to have understood everything in his heart.
Concubine Xun was unable to bear what he saw and lowered her eyes, looking at the elder uneasily with the corner of her eye.
The elder looked back at her with a calm look, and then nodded gently: "King, please."
