Chapter 343 Lady Xiao
After the two of them finished their meal, they rested for a while before leaving the space. It was already dark when they came out, but there was ice and snow everywhere. They could still see the road, but there were no pedestrians on it.
Murong Li gathered Su Yue's cloak and put the hood on her, then he held her in his arms and ran towards the capital using his lightness skills.
On a cold night, the icy wind whistled past through the gaps in Murong Li's cloak and blew onto Su Yue.
The biting cold wind seemed to have life, drilling into her neck.
It was so cold that Su Yue couldn't help shivering.
Murong Li felt it immediately, put her down and hugged her tightly.
"Is it cold for you? I'll go slower later."
Murong Li blamed himself a little. He was so busy hurrying on his way that he forgot that Su Yue had no internal strength and could not resist the cold.
Although he was wrapped in a cloak, it was not airtight.
Su Yue really couldn't stand the cold, and it was really hard to travel in this freezing night. She exhaled and said, "It's a bit cold, but we just need to arrive before dawn. Don't be too anxious."
No matter what Gang Leader Ma and his men wanted to do, they couldn't cause trouble in the capital in broad daylight. They had to wait until tomorrow night.
They still have one day and one night, so it's not too late.
"good."
Murong Li kissed her on the lips, held her tighter, then picked her up and used his Qinggong skills to continue on his way, but now his speed was much slower, and she felt much better in his arms.
In a courtyard somewhere in the capital, after Ma Bangzhu settled his family members, he hurried out alone and came to the back door of an official's mansion. He knocked on the door rhythmically. After a while, the back door opened. Ma Bangzhu looked around and slipped in.
Not long after, he came out of the mansion and turned around to knock on another door. After knocking on five or six houses, Gang Leader Ma and the twenty masters disguised themselves and sneaked into the palace.
Not far from the capital, there is a small mountain village, a very inconspicuous small mountain village, but a very conspicuous person came here, a masked man, and he directly knocked on the door of the village chief.
The masked man had a secret conversation with the village chief for a long time, and then the two disappeared into the house. When they reappeared, they were in a valley.
The valley is very large, with many houses built, like a village. There are many people walking around in the village. Upon closer inspection, these people are young and middle-aged people with brisk steps.
The two men quickly entered the village and found the leader there. Soon after, the leader quickly left with nearly a thousand people, and then disguised themselves as various people and climbed over the city wall into the capital.
At this time in the palace, the emperor didn't know how many groups were plotting against him. He came out of the imperial study, stretched, and took a hand warmer from the young eunuch. The emperor put the hand warmer in his pocket and slowly walked towards the harem.
The direction he was heading was not Wanyi Palace, but a small palace called Fangfei Palace, where a lady named Xiao lived.
This Concubine Xiao entered the palace a few years ago and had always been an inconspicuous person. Some time ago, the emperor favored her and unexpectedly made her pregnant with his dragon seed.
The emperor was very happy. His efforts during this period were not in vain. First, Concubine Shu became pregnant, and then Concubine Xiao became pregnant.
Moreover, this Concubine Xiao looked much prettier than Concubine Shu. She was young and considerate. Unlike Concubine Shu, she was not arrogant and domineering, and did not know how to restrain herself in front of the emperor. So when the emperor had nothing to do, he would come here to hang out.
The weather is very cold now. Concubine Xiao is only one month pregnant and the fetus is not yet firmly established, so the imperial physician told her to stay in bed to take care of the fetus and not to move around.
When the emperor came, Concubine Xiao was reading a book on the bed.
"My dear, why are you still reading? Aren't you afraid of hurting your eyes?"
The emperor went over and gently took the book from Concubine Xiao's hand, took her hands and rubbed them to warm them.
Concubine Xiao looked at the emperor shyly and moved towards the bed. The emperor took off his shoes, got on the bed, and held Concubine Xiao in his arms.
"My dear, has your appetite been good lately?"
The emperor asked very considerately and reached out to touch Concubine Xiao's belly. Concubine Xiao was very beautiful. The emperor thought to himself, how wonderful it would be if he could give birth to a princess as beautiful as her.
Concubine Xiao had a shy look on her face, but a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes. Yes, it was disgust, not joy at all. She suppressed the disgust in her heart, looked up at the emperor, and said with deep affection: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My appetite is fine, but..."
"What is it?"
When the emperor heard her change of tone, he interrupted her and asked anxiously.
Lady Xiao touched her belly and said, "What I mean is, can I not go to the palace banquet tomorrow night?"
"Oh, my dear, why don't you want to go? Don't you like occasions like that?"
The emperor knew that Concubine Xiao had always been very cold and aloof, with a temperament similar to that of Concubine Yun, but she was gentler than Concubine Yun and not as sarcastic as Concubine Yun, which made people feel uncomfortable just by looking at her.
"No, the imperial physician said that it would be best for me to stay in bed and not move around. I can only exercise a little after three months, when the fetus is firmly seated."
"Is that so? That's no problem. Do whatever you like, my beloved concubine. I will come and accompany you after the palace banquet."
Concubine Xiao smiled sweetly at the emperor, nestled in his arms and nodded gently, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor smiled, gently touched her head, sniffed the top of her hair, leaned Concubine Xiao's head against the headboard, and closed his eyes.
Not long after, the emperor's breathing could be heard, and he fell asleep.
In the emperor's arms, Concubine Xiao slowly opened her eyes, looked at the emperor with disgust, pulled away the emperor's hand on her, and gently moved out of the emperor's arms.
Seeing that the emperor was not going to leave and was going to sleep with her, Concubine Xiao's beautiful face was filled with anxiety, but she did not dare to wake the emperor up and send him away.
Concubine Xiao waited in extreme agony, waiting for some sudden situation to happen so that the emperor would be called away.
The emperor was indeed tired. He was exhausted after reviewing memorials all day.
I thought I would feel relaxed during the Chinese New Year, but in fact, I was not relaxed at all. As the end of the year approached, there were a lot of memorials, all of which were reported from all over the country.
You can't help but watch it.
Xifeng Country is located in the west of this continent. When winter comes, Xifeng Country is extremely cold. Eighty percent of the country is snowing at this time. Snow disasters occur in many places, and heavy snow blocks the mountains. Many people have the most difficult time at this time, so there are a lot of memorials reported, all of which are memorials asking for money and food, which gives him a headache.
So when I came to Lady Xiao's place, I relaxed and fell asleep.
Only when he came to Lady Xiao could he find a moment of peace.
