Chapter 31 Angry
Xiao Yu sat in the black painted flat-headed carriage to Yuanhua Temple. It was raining heavily outside. It was not easy to travel on the rainy day, and the whole carriage was a little bumpy and unstable.
Chunxiao covered her hands for her and whispered: "I'm sorry for the empress. But when I go back this time, Madam Yuan must be unable to hide it. Although Madam Yuan comes out with Madam today, Madam Yan's words are not wrong. Madam Yan's future relationships should be less than Prince An."
Of course Xiao Yu knew, but this time the situation was special. She would forget it herself. If she had implicated the entire Duke of Guardian, she would be very responsible. However, no one would have discovered this today. If Madam Yuan knew about it, she would have only delayed her time.
When they were about to reach the city gate, the carriage suddenly stopped. Xiao Yu's body in the car was unstable and he was about to fall forward. Chunxiao quickly supported her. After calming down, Chunxiao asked outside: "Why did he stop suddenly?"
The coachman didn't speak.
There was only the sound of rain and thunder outside. Xiao Yu's face turned white with cold. He thought of something and raised his hand and lifted up the curtain of the carriage in front of him.
There was the city gate in front. At this moment, there were more guards guarding the city than usual. When the rain washed away, I saw a brown horse in front.
Above the tall horse was a man wearing a black brocade robe and a sinister face. Xiao Yu just raised his head and met his eyes. He was startled and then looked at him in a daze, almost forgot to react.
"Mom, Empress?" Chunxiao called her quietly beside her.
Xiao Yu didn't know that Xue Zhan knew about this, and even... Xiao Yu tried hard to calm down his emotions, leaned out, and slowly got off the carriage. Chun Xiao behind him also hurried down and supported the umbrella on her head.
The wind was too strong, and the umbrella didn't work at all. Xiao Yu's hair was already wet. She raised her head, looked at Xue Zhan on the horse's back, and saluted: "I have seen the emperor..."
Before Xiao Yu could speak, he saw Xue Zhan clamping his horse's belly and walking forward a few steps, then suddenly bent down and snatched her body up like this.
She had seen his strength, and her thick arm was directly crossed on her chest, so tight that she couldn't breathe. A familiar scene flashed in her mind. When she realized it, she was already held in Xue Zhan's arms and was taken back.
The cold wind slammed into the rain, Xiaoyu trembled all over and could only bury his face in front of his chest, and his plain white and slender fingers clutched his clothes tightly.
When she returned to the palace and entered Fengzao Palace, Xue Zhan put her down.
Xiao Yu went to see him in fear: "Emperor?"
He grabbed her arm, stared at her with his eyes tightly, opened his mouth to say something, and did not say a last word, threw her in Fengzao Palace and walked out in a strait.
Xiao Yu shivered and looked at the direction he left. After sitting for a while, a moment of movement came. She turned to look in surprise and found that it was not Xue Zhan, but Madam Yuan and Chun Xiaochunming who were back.
When Madam Yuan saw that Xiao Yu's face was pale and her whole body was soaked, she quickly ordered the maid to prepare hot water, and then carefully took Xiao Yu into the clean room.
After soaking in hot water, Xiao Yu heard Madam Yuan say, "Empress, have you promised Lao Nu not to go to Prince An's Mansion? Why is this time... the emperor is really angry."
Xiao Yu didn't know if he was really angry? When he had a good temper, he would be careful with her. Only when his emotions were out of control would he be ignorant of the severity and strength. He was extremely strong. She was almost strangled to death by him just now.
Chun Xiao, who was standing aside, also whispered: "I heard that the emperor has just decided to pacify the northwest today. General Huo Ting and General Huo and the Duke of the Kingdom volunteered. In front of the civil and military ministers, the emperor entrusted important tasks to the Duke of the Kingdom, allowing him to be the commander of the army this time, with General Huo as deputy."
Xiao Yu said in surprise: "This is true?"
Madam Yuan also nodded and said, "Of course it's true."
Xiao Yu claimed that he did not know him very much, but now he felt that his thoughts were really hard to guess. Didn’t he show off his appearance because he wanted to use them to protect the Duke’s Mansion? Now... Huo Ting is brave and good at fighting, and is a tiger general of his. He wouldn’t be worried about such an important thing when he handed over to his father? Xiao Yu didn’t understand a lot, and suddenly thought of something, and stood up from the bathtub with a "wow".
Madam Yuan quickly pressed her down and said anxiously: "Empress, you have suffered from the cold and have to soak for a while."
Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "I was wrong today. Even if he was angry at this moment, I had to see him. Madam Yuan, go and prepare ginger soup, I will send it to the emperor."
Xiao Yu got up from the bathtub, his face was not good yet, so he changed into clean clothes and went to see Xue Zhan.
Xue Zhan was in Qianhe Palace. This was the imperial palace. Before the wedding, he mostly stayed here. After getting married, he rarely came. Qianhe Palace was nine rooms wide and five rooms deep. It was decorated with golden dragons and seals, and doors and windows. The palace was bright and bright, with emperor throne, which was very grand.
Xiao Yu hurried here and saw He Chaoen staying outside, then walked over and said, "Can Eunuch He make a message for me, saying that I want to apologize to the emperor?"
He Chaoen saw that she was indeed in a hurry, and the emperor rode a horse in the rain to take her back to the palace. He also knew about this.
He nodded and then went in to report.
After a while, he came out and said to Xiao Yu, "Please come in, Empress." He looked at her expression and wanted to remind him, but the words came to his mouth. Thinking that she had come here so soon, she should have thought of a way to deal with it, so she gave up.
She was still afraid that he would not see her. Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, so he brought ginger soup from Chunxiao behind him and sent it to him in person.
She walked inside and entered the imperial palace, and saw a tall figure sitting on her head.
Of course it was Xue Zhan. His face was very bad.
She went over and bent down to salute. Seeing that he was not moving, she boldly stood up and put the ginger soup in her hand at his hand. Then she bent down and knelt in front of him, saying, "I know that today's work is inappropriate..."
Xue Zhan frowned. He was indeed angry, but Duoduo didn't expect that she would show such a softness. He was moved in his heart, and the hand that was on his knees moved. Seeing her kneeling quietly in front of him, he said lightly: "What's wrong with the Queen going to pray for the sake of Daqi?"
Now Xiao Yu didn't think he was too much. After all, it was indeed her fault first. This time she did not hesitate anymore. She looked up at him and said word by word: "I am wrong. In the name of praying for blessings, I actually went to Prince An's house to see the seriously ill Prince An."
Xue Zhan's black eyes were slightly dark, and he looked at her: "Since you want to see King An, why don't you tell me directly?"
She did want to tell him, but... Xiao Yu continued: "Last night, I thought about talking to the emperor, but I suddenly remembered that the emperor had some concerns about the affairs of the previous dynasty. King An's identity is special. I was afraid that if I told him, it would make the emperor unhappy, so I came up with such a way. King An was just a child. He had some friendship with me in the past. Now he was seriously ill and his life was in danger. I had to go there. Today's affairs are all done by me alone. I just hope that the emperor can spare my parents' family. This matter has nothing to do with them. No matter how the emperor punished me, I was willing."
Xue Zhan sneered and said, "You have heard that I have ordered your father to be the commander. I am afraid that I will take your father out of anger for your affairs, so I am so anxious to come and apologize?" He paused and said, "...I tell you that I have always been clear about public and private affairs and are not so scrupulous."
...He did hit it.
Xiao Yu looked embarrassed and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. She cherished her life, but if she harmed the entire Xiao family because of her, she would not be able to die. Now, it would be okay for her to die. When the rebels broke through the palace gate, she should have sacrificed her life like her aunt.
Xiao Yu whispered: "I just hope... the emperor will not be angry anymore."
Xue Zhan looked over.
Seeing her thin body, her skirt was quietly spread on the ground, her face was pale, but she didn't cry, but her eyes were filled with tears, as if she really knew she was wrong.
Although he angered her to deceive herself, this was not what made him angry the most...
Xue Zhan calmly opened his face, clenched his fists, and the veins suddenly burst out, looking at her eyebrows and eyes, then slowly let go, and finally said to her: "Come here."
