Chapter 303
I took a hot shower and changed into clean clothes, and it was already dawn.
Jiang Zuiyao returned to the bedroom again. Concubine Hui was already sitting on the soft couch and drinking morning tea. She glanced at Jiang Zuiyao, pointed to the other end of the soft couch and said, "Sit down and have a cup of tea."
Jiang Zuiyao walked over and sat down, but was unwilling to serve tea, looking disappointed.
The two of them sat silently, until dawn, and the palace servant brought in breakfast, then Huifei said, "Let's have something to eat with me."
Jiang Zuiyao shook her head: "I'm not hungry."
Concubine Hui said, "How can I not eat after struggling for a long time?"
Jiang Zuiyao still shook her head, and Concubine Hui just sighed helplessly and went to eat by herself.
After breakfast, Concubine Hui went out and let Jiang Zuiyao stay in the bedroom. The man went out, and I don’t know where he went. When he came back, he asked the eunuch who was guarding the door: “Is Concubine Mu still inside?”
The eunuch replied, "Yes, I've been sitting on the soft couch. The slave went in and asked without saying a word, as if he had lost his soul."
Concubine Hui stepped over the threshold and walked in. Seeing Jiang Zuiyao looking at somewhere in a daze, she walked over and said, "He is Your Majesty, why are you trying to do anything for yourself?"
Jiang Zuiyao blinked her dry eyes and didn't reply.
Concubine Hui sat down and said, "Mu'er and I used to be friends with the boudoir."
This sentence made Jiang Zuiyao finally recover and turned to look at Concubine Hui.
Huifei smiled bitterly: "When I saw you for the first time last night, I will know why Your Majesty loves you."
Jiang Zuiyao was not interested in listening to these things, so she didn't answer the conversation.
Concubine Hui seemed to be very interested. Although Jiang Zuiyao didn't speak, she could still speak: "Your Majesty also knows the relationship between me and Mu'er, so although I am not favored over the years, I have also been granted the title of concubine."
Jiang Zuiyao really didn't feel in the mood to listen to these irrelevant stories and sighed: "I won't bother Concubine Hui anymore, I will take my leave."
Just as Jiang Zuiyao was about to get up, Hui Fei said, "Where are you going to go if you don't leave this palace?"
Such questions made Jiang Zuiyao slightly stunned.
Concubine Hui smiled slowly: "Your bedroom was burned by fire. You are living in Your Majesty's bedroom. You broke up with Your Majesty so much last night. Do you still have to go back now?"
Jiang Zuiyao began to hesitate. It was indeed inappropriate to go back to that place, but...
Jiang Zuiyao subconsciously touched her waist. When she was taking a shower and changing clothes, the little medicine left by Prince Gong made her hide very well. She still had a task to leave. After all, this medicine cannot be left for a day.
However, if you go back, it will be difficult.
Concubine Hui stood up and said, "You should be here in my palace for the time being. I have sent someone to find your brother."
After saying this, Concubine Hui got up and walked towards the door.
Jiang Zuiyao looked at Concubine Hui's back. Such a calm woman made her somewhat suspicious and asked: "Concubine Hui wouldn't ask what happened to the concubine and His Majesty last night?"
Concubine Hui turned around, looked at Jiang Zuiyao, and smiled indifferently, "What happened? What does it have to do with this palace?"
Jiang Zuiyao asked again: "Then Concubine Hui is not afraid of leaving concubines. Will Your Majesty be unhappy?"
Concubine Hui still replied indifferently: "If Your Majesty is unhappy, you will not be left behind."
After saying this, Concubine Hui stepped across the threshold and left.
Such a calm woman seemed out of place with the palace, but she had nothing to do with Jiang Zuiyao, an outsider, and she didn't take it seriously.
After a long time, Shao Ziqing came. After all, there was a palace servant here and he said in a show: "Sister, where did you go last night? I'm so worried about my brother."
Su Su also arrived immediately afterwards and said to the palace servants in Huifei's palace: "There is no need to be a father-in-law to serve him here, just wait for me."
The father-in-law nodded with a smile, went out with a tactful look, and closed the palace gate before leaving.
Su Su hurried to Jiang Zuiyao's side, and when she looked at Jiang Zuiyao's face, she knew something was wrong. She whispered: "Miss, what happened? You left by yourself last night, why didn't you go back with Your Majesty?"
Jiang Zuiyao tightened the corners of her lips. She had no nerve to say what happened last night.
Su Su was even more anxious when she saw Jiang Zuiyao like this: "Miss, Young Master Shao refused to say too much, just say to the imperial concubine..."
"Su Su, let her be quiet." Shao Ziqing interrupted Su Su's words, as if he was reluctant to let Jiang Zuiyao know what she was going to say next.
Afterwards, Shao Ziqing took Su Su out of the bedroom and sat on the stone steps of the garden flower bed. Concubine Hui's palace servants didn't care. After all, Concubine Hui had instructed not to disturb Concubine Mu.
At this moment, Huifei's palace servant did not approach, and Su Su whispered to Shao Ziqing: "Why don't your son let me continue?"
Shao Ziqing said perfunctorily: "She suffered last night, let her be quiet."
Su Su became even more anxious: "What are you hiding from? What happened last night?"
Shao Ziqing frowned. Although he didn't want to say more, he still said: "The emperor wanted to force her to occupy her last night, but she resisted."
As soon as these words came out, Su Su was shocked: "What did you say? Your Majesty actually did such a thing in Concubine Hui's bedroom? This...this..."
Su Su was shocked. When Jiang Zuiyao left last night, Su Su didn't expect such a thing to happen. If she knew, she would definitely not let Jiang Zuiyao come alone.
Immediately afterwards, a terrible thought flashed into Susu's mind, and she asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty has not succeeded, right?"
Shao Ziqing shook her head: "She is a strong man, how can she easily obey the emperor?"
Su Su thought about it and suddenly realized, "So, you deliberately let the imperial concubine break in, just to stop His Majesty, right?"
Shao Ziqing nodded.
Su Su couldn't help but sigh and looked around. The palace servants were in the distance. She said in a very small voice: "Why don't you want the girl to know that you saved her last night?"
Shao Ziqing frowned and said, "If she knew, she might feel even more uncomfortable."
Su Su said incomprehensiblely: "I really can't understand why you are always alienated since you are a couple."
Shao Ziqing didn't speak out, and he didn't want to mention the matter between him and Jiang Zuiyao.
Su Su frowned even more: "The so-called bystanders are clear. Why did I set fire to the side hall and blame the imperial concubine? I can guess. You don't want the girl to sleep, so you set fire to the bedroom in the middle of the night. You can't stand the imperial concubine poisoning the girl, so you blame the imperial concubine for this matter. Since you care about her, why don't she know?"
Shao Ziqing seemed not to want to mention it, and said, "I did this just because the imperial concubine would disrupt our plan."
Su Su chuckled suddenly: "Is it really just that? If it's just like that, I just told the girl that you deliberately asked the concubine to make a big fuss last night, why didn't you let me talk?"
