Chapter 33 Unable to Respond
Helian Yue's action attracted the sidelong glances of the concubines, all of whom looked surprised and worried. Even Gu Qingquan couldn't help showing a hint of surprise on his face.
Is her king so weak that he can't even hold a cup of tea?
Fortunately, Helian Yue couldn't hear Concubine Quan's heartbeat at this moment, otherwise he might have been so angry that he died.
After all, having Si Linglong to care for him every day is enough.
Si Linglong was just thinking about the Concubine Quan in the book who had once made her cry and sigh, when she was interrupted by Helian Yue's movement. She forgot what she was thinking just now and subconsciously looked at his bandaged right hand.
[I thought he was trying to get close to me by asking me to hold him. Now it seems that the dog emperor is really weak. Look, he can't even hold a cup of tea steadily.
Did the tea spill on your hands? Don’t let water get into the wound. 】
Naturally, Fu Tai had the same concern as Si Linglong. When he saw the tea spilled, Fu Tai almost immediately rushed over to check. However, Helian Yue just waved him away impatiently and was in no mood to care about his clothes that were wet with tea.
Helian Yue looked at Gu Qingquan in front of him with complicated eyes, his heart still shocked by what he had just heard.
Even though he knew Helian Tuo was hateful, he never thought that Gu Qingquan would end up like this.
He and Gu Qingquan had known each other since he was a prince.
As a noble lady in the capital, she has always been aloof, and he has never liked women who wield swords and guns.
He let her into the palace only because her father was the one who had helped him ascend the throne, and because he needed such a person to reassure the military officers.
But he remembered that he had promised her.
"I cannot give you the so-called exclusive favor, but I can guarantee that you will live a decent and stable life in this harem."
It turned out that I did not keep my promise.
She actually died for him, in such a tragic way.
Did she fall in love with herself?
If it wasn't love, Helian Yue couldn't imagine why someone with Gu Qingquan's personality would choose such a violent way to die for him.
Helian Yue suddenly felt that this idea was very similar to someone else's, but when he really experienced it, he felt that this idea was the most natural.
However, when Helian Yue looked at Gu Qingquan at this moment, he was shocked and couldn't help feeling sad.
He had never had any romantic feelings for Gu Qingquan. Even if he understood her feelings now, he was destined to be unable to respond to her passionate love.
Why.
Helian Yue sighed a little.
Gu Qingquan saw her king suddenly looking at her with complicated eyes, with various emotions in his eyes that she couldn't see clearly, and she couldn't help but frowning secretly.
Your Majesty, has the poison made your brain stupid?
"Your Majesty is in good health. I dare not disturb your recovery. I will take my leave now."
They come and go, just going through the motions.
No regrets.
Helian Yue couldn't help but sigh again.
Helian Yue used to think she was cold-hearted, but after knowing her feelings for him, he felt that this person's way of expressing love was really obscure.
The only person who would leave on her own initiative because she didn't want to disturb his rest was Concubine Tsuen.
Before Gu Qingquan led his people away, he glanced at Si Linglong and ordered in a cold voice, "Mr. Lang, please take good care of the emperor."
The tone sounded more like an order than an explanation.
But Si Linglong had a filter for this person, so she didn't think anything of it when she heard it, and she looked respectful and acknowledging.
The more Helian listened, the more he felt guilty.
Seeing Concubine Tsuen and her entourage leaving, he turned around and instructed Fu Tai, "Take out the red-threaded spear made of black silver from my treasury, and pick out the new tributes from the Ministry of Internal Affairs that Concubine Tsuen likes, and send them to her."
Fu Tai was surprised.
Why would the Emperor think of rewarding Concubine Quan for no reason?
Well, although the emperor usually gives out various rewards, the black silver lance is his favorite.
Although he was curious in his heart, Fu Tai remained calm.
As the chief eunuch, he had to follow the emperor's orders.
Having received such a message suddenly, Helian Yue just wanted to stay quiet for a moment, so he asked Si Linglong and all the palace people to leave.
Si Linglong walked out of the palace, but seemed to remember something. She did not go back to her side hall to copy books, but took a few quick steps and caught up with Fu Tai who was about to go to the warehouse to pick something.
"Eunuch Futai!"
