Hongde Longqiu ignored her and pulled her into a secluded alley nearby.
Although in daily training, it is common to go up and down, and there are no major or minor injuries on the body, the pain is not something unbearable for Meng Xinzhu.
But now she felt stabbing pains coming from the wrist held by Hong Delong Qiu. Her skin and muscles ached, and even her bones began to hurt. She grabbed the hand and said, "Let go, your hand is about to be broken!"
It hurts!"
Hongde Longqiu turned around and stared at her, did he know the pain? Did she know the heartache he felt just now when he thought he might lose her completely? That kind of pain like suffocation!
Meng Xinzhu looked at his eyes in a daze. The anger in his eyes was stronger than when she teased him with a seductive kiss before, but there was more of a sad and heartbreaking look in his eyes. He held his wrist.
The strength is also increasing, and it seems to be intended to crush it.
She suddenly stopped holding Hongde Longqiu's hand, blinked her eyes, and said calmly: "If the emperor wants to destroy my hand, I have no objection. I just hope that the emperor can tell me what serious crime I have committed and need to pay for it."
cost?"
Hongde Longqiu was stunned and suddenly let go of his hand.
Meng Xinzhu held her numb wrist, and the pain at this time was stronger than before.
Hongde Longqiu looked at her frowning, and really wanted to ask if it was okay? But he didn't move. The heartache just now made him angry, angry at Meng Xinzhu, and even more angry at himself.
Finally he said coldly: "Where have you been?"
Meng Xinzhu held her wrist. The abnormal pain in her muscles told her that she might have been injured. She raised her head and met Hong Delong Qiu's eyes, "I'm going to have breakfast and lunch." Hong Delong Qiu raised his eyebrows. "
Isn't it strange? I left the palace with you early in the morning, and the only breakfast was a mouthful of noodle soup. What Xinghualou serves is indeed delicious food, but it's a pity that I don't have the taste. Since I know how to teach others how to eat as a person, how can I do it myself?
If you don't keep your words, what if you hit yourself in the mouth? So I have to eat every meal normally."
"Eating for so long?"
"I've been waiting for you in the alley outside Xinghua Tower for a long time, but there was no one there, so I took action on my own. The moon is so big, and I'm not familiar with the road. I walked around here for a few times before I saw you!"
"I thought you……"
"Do you think I escaped?" Meng Xinzhu looked at her wrist and said lightly. In fact, she had already seen this problem from his eyes just now. "It is indeed a good idea to escape at this time. Maybe I really should
If you just leave like this, what's the point of coming back?"
She really had this idea. Hongde Longqiu frowned and said, "Do you think you can really leave?"
Meng Xinzhu turned her head and stared at Hongde Longqiu. She couldn't help but think of what happened on the bank of Changshui River. She shook her head, "I thought humans could communicate with each other, but it doesn't look like that. A lot of what I said was just nonsense.
, just continue to threaten me with my soft-heartedness. I'm tired, I'm going back to the palace." She turned and walked out of the alley.
Hongde Longqiu was stunned. He noticed that Meng Xinzhu had been holding his wrist. He grabbed it so hard just now. Was it injured? He stepped forward and pulled Meng Xinzhu's arm, "What's wrong with your hand?"
let me see!"
"Let go!" Meng Xinzhu waved her arm, "If you don't let go, I'll kick you!"
Hongde Longqiu didn't let go, "Let me...ah!"
Meng Xinzhu had already kicked him in the calf, "I have warned you, even though I am a woman, I still stick to my word. If I hurt the dragon's body, please ask the emperor to punish me."
The atmosphere in the carriage was extremely dull. Meng Xinzhu looked out the window without saying a word. Hongde and Long Qiu looked at her, wondering why she was still angry with him when it was clearly her fault.
Seeing her sitting in front of him, his heart felt so peaceful. The suffocating heartache at that moment made him realize how much he cared about this woman and that he no longer had any rational restraint towards her.
Hongde Longqiu sighed softly and looked out the window. He knew how dangerous it would be for an emperor to be trapped by lust. Now he really hoped that he was not the Lord of the Moon Kingdom, but an ordinary person who could be with him.
How pleasant it would be to travel with your loved one.
However, he is, and is determined to become a successful emperor.
Back in the palace, Meng Xinzhu ignored Hongde Longqiu and went straight back to Zhuyuan. The hot pain in her wrist made her break out in a cold sweat. She held her wrist and asked Eunuch Chen to get a bottle of cold water.
The wrist was swollen and the fingerprints were clearly visible. Eunuch Chen was shocked when he saw this. Why did the empress come back like this after going out with the emperor for a while. "Empress, I'm going to call the imperial doctor right now."
"No, don't alert the imperial doctor." Meng Xinzhu frowned, "Go and see if the Ninth Princess has left the palace?"
"yes."
"Xiao Chenzi, only the Ninth Princess is invited. Do not disturb others, especially the Emperor."
"Yes." Although Eunuch Chen was puzzled, he now obeyed this magical master's words.
The Ninth Princess carefully inspected Meng Xinzhu's wrist. She gently stroked the finger marks, "This is not like the marks left by those men of letters who caught you. Who is so bold as to hurt the imperial concubine?"
Ever since the emperor's nephew found his goddaughter, the two of them had been acting strangely, as if they were angry about something. Seeing how the emperor's nephew usually doted on his goddaughter, how could he not know that she was injured and not call an imperial physician to come and see her?
Look, this daughter is even weirder. She didn’t seek medical advice when she was injured, but she actually thought of her as her godmother!
Meng Xinzhu just smiled faintly, "It was just a moment of naughtiness, and it was not a small injury. You are the godmother, so you should pity your daughter more, and the godfather also said that your medical skills are better than those of the doctors in the ten imperial hospitals put together.
It’s a hundred times more powerful, of course my daughter will get the moon first if she’s close to the water.”
"How do you learn to be as smooth-tongued as your godfather?" The Ninth Princess nodded her forehead, "Why don't you tell the emperor's nephew?"
Meng Xinzhu shook her head, "He is too busy and has endless national affairs to worry about. I can just handle this small matter myself. It would be too trivial to alarm him."
"Well, not bad, she is indeed my goddaughter, she knows everything!"
Hongde Longqiu was sitting in the imperial study room, reviewing the memorial carefully. In fact, he really wanted to see the Bamboo Concubine now, but he knew that she was having trouble with him. This Bamboo Concubine was different from other concubines. She was stubborn.
It's true that he can't just coax her out with a few words, so it's best to leave her alone now, as his presence will only add fuel to the fire.
Xiao Zhao stood aside quietly. The emperor didn't say anything about how to find Concubine Zhu. He didn't know what Concubine Zhu had been doing in Yuedu these two hours. Now he wanted to find out more and more who Concubine Zhu was.
