Chapter 58 The Emperor’s Beloved Concubine
After the door opened, the emperor walked out of the room, and Shi Pingshan immediately knelt down again.
Of course, Su Qingyu also knelt down after him. The emperor instinctively stretched out his hand to support him. When Su Qingyu raised her head and looked at him, he looked away again.
Su Qingyu smiled and hooked his arm under the cover of her robe. After feeling his stiffness, she immediately withdrew her hand.
527:【……】
Do you still remember that there was an old father next to him and a green son kneeling on the ground?
After the emperor asked Shi Pingshan to get up, Shi Pingshan bent down and said, "Your Majesty, it was the General's Mansion that failed to take good care of Muchuan, causing Muchuan and the third prince to be injured. I am guilty."
He was talking about the General's Mansion, not Su Qingyu.
The Emperor: "I have already said that the general's residence is not to blame for this matter."
He then looked at the third prince who was almost fainting. The third prince's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he said angrily: "Father, please forgive me, but my son and I deserve death."
"Get up."
"Thank you, thank you father."
His face and lips were horribly pale, and not just his arms, but every part of his body was trembling. He couldn't get up for a while. He managed to stand up with the help of the steward, but he fainted as soon as he stood up.
"..."
The manager almost died of fright.
The emperor said calmly: "Call the imperial doctor."
The emperor was so cold, and others did not dare to panic. Some helped the third prince to the side hall, and some went to call the imperial doctor.
There was another person kneeling on the ground, still trembling. It was Ma Ge who had beaten Muchuan.
When the emperor's eyes fell on him, he trembled more obviously and pressed his forehead tightly to the ground. The emperor just glanced at him indifferently and said, "Come on and go to Nanling."
Mago immediately kowtowed vigorously, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"
He beat the emperor's dog. If this matter were serious, beheading would be a minor matter. He was so happy that he could save his life that he almost shed tears.
Su Qingyu watched with pleasure as Ma Ge was taken away. This was Yu Jing'an's close guard, who had saved Yu Jing'an's life several times at critical moments.
Yu Jingan was not only punished mercilessly by the emperor when several ministers saw him, but he also lost a useful arm. The foot he shot at was sore and cracked.
527 was also very happy, [Host, the repentance value increased by 7 points in total. It increased by 3 points when Muchuan bit Yu Jing'an, and it increased by 4 points just now. 】
Su Qingyu: [As expected of the master's young master, the last time he bit his neck got him 5 points of remorse, and this time he bit his arm, he got 3 more points. He really hates the scumbag, all he can do is hate. 】
527:【……】
After thinking about it for a while, it actually made sense. This was a useful direction.
527:【So us? 】
Su Qingyu smiled and said nothing.
Both of them were gone, leaving only Shi Pingshan and Su Qingyu.
After the emperor watched Ma Ge's figure disappear, he turned to look at Shi Pingshan, "It's getting late. General Shi, please stay and have dinner with me."
Not only was he not punished, but he was also allowed to eat. Is there such a good thing?
Shi Pingshan hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When the emperor turned around, he said, "Let's take a rest together."
Su Qingyu smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
This was not the first time that Su Qingyu had dinner with the emperor, but last time he was with several princes and he sat far away from the emperor. This time it was only Shi Pingshan. He and Shi Pingshan sat on the left and right sides of the emperor respectively.
It was very quiet during the meal. In front of Shi Pingshan, Su Qingyu did not dare to do anything openly and honestly.
The emperor and Shi Pingshan were also very particular about eating without saying anything. They didn't talk much until they had finished eating and drank tea and wine, then they started to talk about the past.
The two of them talked about the past, nothing more than the battlefield and children. When Shi Pingshan told the story of Shi Pingshan's childhood, the emperor listened attentively and suddenly felt something fall on his hand which was placed under the table.
Soon he knew what it was.
Su Qingyu's fingers came out of the sleeves and then went into the emperor's sleeves.
527:【……】
Can you still see your old father sitting opposite you?
It couldn't see what the host had done in the emperor's sleeves, but it could guess that he must be hooking up with the emperor again.
527 immediately looked at the emperor. This time he really didn't have a cold face, but his expression was a little strange.
Although it didn't understand why his expression was strange, it really believed that the emperor liked its host.
Disrespecting the elderly!
It turns out that what was said on the forum is true. Even though some emperors were wise when they were young, it is easy for them to lose their health later in life when they get older.
Under the wide sleeves, Su Qingyu touched the emperor's hand, and the emperor's hand shrank back.
Su Qingyu took a step forward and inserted his fingers deftly into his.
Shi Pingshan, who has been following the emperor all year round, noticed something unusual about the emperor and asked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
The emperor picked up the tea cup with his right hand and took a sip of tea. "It's okay, I thought of some things in the past."
Shi Pingshan nodded and continued: "When Gu Xi returned to China and saw the Emperor when he was seven years old, he didn't dare to talk to the Emperor. He only hid behind me and looked at the Emperor."
The emperor gave a low "hmm".
Su Qingyu's hand held his, and the fingertips scratched his slightly moist palm. The tea cup in the emperor's hand shook, and the water in the cup almost overflowed.
Shi Pingshan: "Your Majesty?"
The emperor coughed, put down the cup, smiled, and said, "I thought of the interesting things at that time."
Only then did Shi Pingshan feel relieved. He turned to look at Su Qingyu and asked, "Xiao Xi, do you remember? You said you were obviously very courageous. Why were you so afraid of the emperor at that time?"
"Remember." Su Qingyu said while stroking the emperor's palm, "I wasn't afraid at that time, I was just shy."
"..."
Shi Pingshan laughed and continued to tell the emperor interesting things about that time.
A smile appeared on the emperor's face, but the smile was a bit stiff, just like his body.
Bo Yunyi's hand had torn apart so many evil ghosts and held so many weapons. Over the past hundred years, everything he had touched was cold and bloody.
Su Qingyu's soft fingertips gently tickled his sensitive palm, and he couldn't bear it for a moment.
At first he thought it was because it was too soft, but occasionally when hard nails scratched it, he wanted to hold it tight immediately.
It was so itchy that he wanted to shrink back, and his arms were so numb that they felt stiff, but he still felt it carefully. He noticed that Su Qingyu might be writing on his palm.
The emperor breathed softly to steady himself. He could no longer hear what Shi Pingshan was saying. He couldn't help but pick up the tea cup and took a sip of water. He seemed a little thirsty. He drank a lot in this sip and his lips were wet.
Su Qingyu stared at his lips for a few seconds and continued his actions.
There were a lot of strokes, and he finally slowly finished writing the word "meaning" in his palm.
Last time he wrote a "cloud" on his collarbone, and this time he wrote a "meaning" on his palm. No matter how stupid he is, he should know that he has confirmed his identity.
While Su Qingyu was talking to Shi Pingshan, he quickly scratched his palm twice with his nails, as if he wanted to scratch off the words he just wrote, but Bo Yunyi suddenly grabbed his hand.
Where the emperor is, even in autumn, silver charcoal has been burned to ensure that the emperor will not feel the slightest chill.
Their hands were covered in their sleeves, and there was already a layer of sweat, especially Bo Yunyi's palms, which had been scratched and scratched by Su Qingyu. Even ordinary rubbing should have generated heat.
When Su Qingyu was held by him and pressed against his palm, she froze slightly.
He heard his excited heartbeat and noticed that he was happy and relieved. He lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth with a smile.
After drinking, Shi Pingshan's mood was a little high, and he said to Su Qingyu: "Son, you laughed too. Do you also think your anecdotes are funny? Your Majesty, look at him laughing at himself, hahaha!"
Bo Yunyi never looked in his direction, but when she heard Shi Pingshan say that he was laughing, she couldn't help but look at him.
He was really smiling. Although when he looked over, he was already restraining his smile, but the smile at the corner of his mouth and the bright happiness in his eyes were still clearly visible to him.
He was laughing, and he was laughing very happily.
Su Qingyu felt the hand holding his tighten suddenly. At first, the hand just held his hand tightly, as if to stop him from doing anything else. After tightening, it loosened and curled him together. The fingers spread apart.
Bo Yunyi's ring finger fell on his palm, probably about to write something, but he didn't know why he didn't move for a while.
Because his fingertips had been there for a long time without moving, Su Qingyu's thoughts were a little distracted.
He suddenly remembered a scene from when he was filming his first TV series.
It was a delayed drama. At that time, he was not popular and had no more than one million fans. The actor who played the other male lead in the cast was the same as the actress who played the female lead.
It was naturally not a big-budget drama with a lot of investment. The three of them didn't even have separate dressing rooms and were often crowded together.
One morning, Su Qingyu saw the female lead applying eye cream with a nameless finger. They had a good relationship at that time. Su Qingyu asked her: "Why do you apply it with your ring finger?"
"Because the skin around the eyes is very thin and delicate, if you use too much force, it will easily pull out wrinkles." She turned to him and said, "Ayu, don't you know, a person's ring finger is the weakest, and you often use your hands to force it." Everyone knows that the ring finger is known as the gentlest finger.”
Over the years, Su Qingyu has strictly forbidden himself to think of anything related to that drama. That memory has faded. Suddenly thinking of the long-dusted past, he unexpectedly found that there was not only filth and filth in it, but also some good things hidden underneath. thing.
The ring finger in the palm of my hand moved.
Su Qingyu felt its strength and direction carefully. His fingers scratched the lines of fate on his palm and drew a "?"
Su Qingyu almost laughed again.
The hand left a question mark and moved away. There was a slight distance between it, and it didn't touch Su Qingyu's hand again, but it didn't pull away from the sleeve either.
Su Qingyu grabbed his hand again, and this time he didn't resist and opened his palm in cooperation.
The two wet hands were entangled. Su Qingyu's hand did not stay there in the end. He had written there just now, and also on his collarbone. Su Qingyu was greedy and wanted to explore more places.
His fingers stopped on the inside of his wrist, the softest part of his arm.
He stroked the slightly raised blood vessels with his fingers slowly, feeling the increasingly powerful and rapid beating under the blood vessels, and was not in a hurry to give an answer.
Bo Yunyi didn't seem to be in a hurry and let him touch her, turning her head to listen to Shi Pingshan's words.
But the steward noticed something unusual. He whispered to the little eunuch beside him, and brought a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from the emperor's forehead.
Shi Pingshan said in surprise: "The emperor is so hot?"
The emperor was silent for two or three seconds, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. "It's okay, I just drank too much hot tea."
Su Qingyu still laughed. He only smiled once and quickly stopped it. If he didn't stop the hand he was pressing, he would pull it away.
He pressed his hand and carefully drew a heart on the inside of Bo Yunyi's soft wrist.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"
This time Shi Pingshan really realized that something was wrong with the emperor. He said several words but the emperor didn't respond. Even when he was called like this, he didn't even respond.
Shi Pingshan suddenly calmed down a lot. He thought that they had disturbed him for too long. It was well known to the courtiers that the emperor's health was getting worse. It was time for him to rest.
Shi Pingshan immediately stood up and said proactively: "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body. I dare not disturb your Majesty for too long. Can you please resign now?"
When he got up, Su Qingyu naturally stood up too. The overlapping sleeves of his robe were separated, and his hands were hit by the cold air.
The emperor suddenly came to his senses. The two of them had already stood up. He lowered his voice and only said the word "good".
For a long time after the father and son left, the emperor still stood there.
The steward was very strange. He could tell that something was wrong with the emperor, but he stood on the emperor's right hand side and did not look at what was going on under the table on his left. He was still wondering. The little master behaved himself in front of his father tonight. That's great, but what happened to the Emperor?
What he didn't see was that the sharp-eyed Yuansi guards on the emperor's left could see clearly. They were standing upright at this moment, but their brains were actually filled with shock.
Suddenly, the emperor turned to look at them, and several guards knelt down as if frightened.
The manager was even more surprised. What happened?
527 was also very curious. As soon as he left the palace, he asked: [Host, what did you do in the emperor's sleeves? 】
Su Qingyu: [What else can I do? Seduce the emperor. 】
527:【……】
Why can he talk about seduction so straightforwardly?
Su Qingyu said to 527 in a good mood: [I drew a heart on the emperor's wrist. 】
527 Imagined the scene. Shi Pingshan was chatting with the emperor about their respective sons, saying that his son was particularly afraid of the emperor when he was a child, but the son sitting opposite him actually put his hand into the emperor's sleeve and was careful!
527:【……】
All kinds of emotions whizzed through the brain, and the last thing left behind was, is my host so sweet?
Can such a good-looking host express his love in this way, can this ancient emperor still be able to hold on?
In the past, 527 was always worried about the scumbag hosts Jiang Huiyin and Xi Qinghe. At first, he was also worried about the excellent emperor, but at this time, it actually felt like he was taking advantage of the emperor.
His host is a bit of a scumbag, but he is extremely good-looking, extremely smart, has a high emotional intelligence, has a good personality, and is so sweet.
Wait, is its outlook on things biased?
527 was in a daze, Su Qingyu smiled, lowered his head and played with his hands.
Shi Pingshan looked at him and suddenly sighed: "Xiaoxi, you were so afraid of the emperor when you were a child. You didn't expect that you have such a close relationship with the emperor now. I am very happy to be a father."
"..."
【……】
Shi Pingshan continued: "I have written loyalty to the emperor into the family rules so that you and future generations will always remember that without the emperor, our family would not exist now. We will not hesitate to sacrifice our lives for the emperor. Now that the emperor is not in good health, we In addition to taking care of the emperor's safety, you must also care about his body and mood. You are closest to the emperor and can best do this for the master's family."
From the perspective of a modern person like Su Qingyu, Shi Pingshan was a bit foolish and loyal. He did not agree with his idea of loyalty to the emperor, but he smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, I will serve the emperor well."
Shi Pingshan said happily: "Okay, okay, good son."
【……】
The father and son talked happily, and soon they arrived at the general's mansion.
After Shi Yanming came back and heard about what happened in the afternoon, he waited nervously at the door. When he saw his father and brother getting off the carriage safely, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After worrying for so long, when he saw Su Qingyu coming over, he grabbed his arm and asked, "What's going on? What does the third prince want to do here?"
The blood vessels on the hand clenched on his arm were swollen, and it could be seen how nervous Shi Yanming was.
Su Qingyu looked at that hand, thinking of the time when his master was imprisoned in the palace by Yu Jing'an, and how the master's family looked anxiously and worriedly as they searched for him.
He remembered a scene where Shi Yanming squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and said painfully: "I can't find any useful information. I don't even know why he left the capital. Xiao Xi has been unwilling to do anything in the past two years." He told me that I didn’t care about him properly and guide him.”
At that time, Shi Jixi really had less communication with his family. On the one hand, he liked to rely on Yu Jingan too much, and on the other hand, he was "avoiding suspicion". He didn't want his family to get close to the third prince because of him.
Su Qingyu thought the same way. He knew that Shi Guxi regretted that his family was involved. He planned to fight alone from the beginning and did not want to involve his family.
However, now he suddenly felt that he was too concerned about this and had gone astray.
Even if there is no news of his master's death, when Yu Jing'an ascends to the throne, he will find a way to get rid of his master's family. He got rid of Shijia not only because he wanted to completely control Shijia, but also because he was narrow-minded and could not tolerate the big mountain of Shijia.
With his master, who was more prestigious among the people and officials than him, by his side, he, the new emperor who ascended to the throne through shady means, could not sleep well every night.
Instead of protecting the Shi family, he wanted to tell them frankly so that they could understand and prepare, and remind the Shi family to be on guard against Yu Jing'an and not to be taken advantage of by him.
Su Qingyu said: "Father, second brother, I have something to tell you."
Seeing his serious expression, the two took him to the safest study room in the master's house.
Shi Yanming had already vaguely guessed what he was going to say, and he encouraged: "Xiaoxi, you can tell us anything you have to do. When we encounter problems, we have to solve them together as a family."
Although Shi Pingshan didn't know what was going on, he very much agreed with his second son's words, "Yes, son, if you have anything to say, speak up boldly. No matter what it is, your father and your two brothers will take care of it for you."
527 also realized that Su Qingyu wanted to speak out, [Host, father and brother are all well, please tell them. 】
Su Qingyu said "hmm" and got straight to the point, "The third prince and I have been in love with each other for a while."
Shi Yan had made a guess early in the morning and was not surprised at all. He thought to himself, "Sure enough."
Shi Pingshan was extremely shocked. His youngest son and the third prince were getting closer, but he never expected that they had such a relationship.
It's not that he doesn't know that men can be with men. Dasheng can't help but be masculine, and in those years of fighting on the battlefield, there were no women all year round. He has seen men in the army being with men, and he can accept it.
To be able to accept them, he doesn't have two sets of standards. It doesn't mean that he can't accept his son being with a man.
But that's the prince.
The worry in Shi Pingshan's heart had just arisen when he heard Su Qingyu say: "That was before, I don't like him now."
Shi Pingshan breathed a sigh of relief.
The relatively calm Shi Yanming asked: "Is it because he married the prince's concubine?"
As his biological brother and the only person in the master's family who had a traitorous bone in his body, he didn't think that as a prince, Yu Jing'an could marry a wife, while his younger brother could only compromise.
Su Qingyu shook his head, "It's not just that, I was with him, and gradually I found that he wanted to use me to win over the master family."
Even Shi Yanming was stunned at this time, "He also wants the throne?"
At this time, Yu Jing'an was hiding from the Crown Prince and the Second Prince's wretched growth in order to reap the benefits. The Master family was not aware of his ambition yet.
"Yes." Su Qingyu said affirmatively: "He wants the throne, he wants it very much, and he has secretly cultivated a force that cannot be underestimated."
The two of them thought seriously, this was no longer just a matter of love.
"What I'm most worried about is that he not only wants to win over the master family, but also has a lot of fear towards the master family." Su Qingyu said: "I'm afraid..."
Shi Yan knew that he would not joke about this kind of thing, and he was convinced of it. As soon as he heard the word "fear" from his mouth, he said: "Xiao Xi, you don't have to be afraid. Are our Shi family still afraid of him? If he gets into trouble again in the future..."
His words were interrupted by an angry roar from Shi Pingshan, who slapped Shi Yanming on the head, "What nonsense are you talking about! What a treason!"
Shi Yanming reluctantly shut his mouth.
Su Qingyu said: "Father is right. Second brother, you have to restrain yourself. The third prince is very deep and ruthless. He is far from being as gentle as he seems on the surface. What's more, he has his own power now. If he notices that we are on guard against him, , our family will be in danger."
Shi Yanming sneered, "So, do I have to wrong you?"
Su Qingyu was slightly startled, pursed her lips and said, "I'm not wronged."
Shi Pingshan held his shoulders with his broad and strong hands, "Son, you are right to speak out. Don't worry, even if my father dies, I will not wrong you. Let's find a solution for this matter together."
Shi Yanming said: "Yes, don't worry, Xiaoxi. You have sacrificed too much for Dasheng and the royal family. I will never let you be wronged again this time, my second brother swears."
527 said: [Host, the repentance value has increased by 3 points. You did the right thing. 】
Su Qingyu looked at the caring and firm eyes of the two people and smiled easily.
When he first came to this unfamiliar society ruled by imperial power, he was indeed a little nervous facing a prince like Yu Jingan.
The appearance of Bo Yunyi and such a family made it impossible for him to feel any more nervous.
The father and son had a long talk late at night, talking about important matters related to the life and death of their family and country, but the atmosphere was very warm and harmonious.
In the palace, the emperor was also talking to people.
Yin Changzai hurried over and saw Bo Yunyi's restless look. Combined with the fact that he was called across time and space for the first time, Yin Changzai reasonably speculated that something earth-shattering had happened.
"What happened?" he asked as soon as he came.
Bo Yunyi didn't answer him. He stood in front of the window and stared at his hands, his eyes bright and clear, which represented how unstable his inner state was at this time.
Yin Changzai said nervously: "Which evil ghost from the advanced world has organized to hunt you down? Is your Yin power okay?"
Bo Yunyi: "No."
Yin Changzai: "No, what is that? Why don't you tell me quickly? I'll be so anxious, brother!"
Bo Yunyi: "He knows."
Yin Changzai: "What? Who knows? What do you know?"
Bo Yunyi turned to look at him and said, "He knows that I am Bo Yunyi and knows that I am dressed as the emperor."
Yin Changzai: "...?"
