Chapter 185: The Eternal Empress, 1V4 Shura Field 23
Quan Jiu didn't expect him to mention another man, and said in surprise:
"What do you mean, my dear?"
She wasn't very familiar with Xu Zhu and Jing Chuantang, let alone having an affair with them.
Feng Zhuo: "I just feel that Your Majesty has been getting a little close to General Jing recently."
He clearly told her that Jingchuantang was restless and making frequent moves in private, but she still didn't listen.
Quan Jiu admitted his mistake and said, "If you don't like it, I will just stay away from General Jing."
Anyway, I must hold on to the Regent's thighs.
…
The second day.
The assassin in the palace has not been caught yet, Quan Jiu is still under house arrest, and Mo Xi, who was originally scheduled to meet the next day, has not been seen yet.
Quan Jiu waited for another day and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
It was not until the third day, when news came from the palace that the assassin had been captured, that her worries reached their peak.
"Could this wolf cub really have been caught?"
Feng Zhuo couldn't tolerate Mo Xi. Once Mo Xi was caught by him, he would definitely not survive the day.
001: "Wait for more news."
The news did not come, but Feng Zhuo did.
"The assassin was beheaded at three o'clock in the afternoon. Your Majesty, would you like to go and see it?"
As soon as Feng Zhuo opened her mouth, Quan Jiu couldn't help but get nervous. She pretended to be calm:
"Who is the thief?"
Feng Zhuo kept it a secret:
"He is an old acquaintance. Your Majesty will know it once he sees him."
When Quan Jiu heard the words "old acquaintance", his heart choked again.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, she finally saw the thief's face clearly.
Feng Zhuo was right, the "assassin" was indeed an old acquaintance.
The guards in her bedroom.
Feng Zhuo observed her reaction:
"Your Majesty, was this the thief who molested you that night?"
Quan Jiu: "..."
Why are you testing her again?
Anger and hatred flashed in her eyes:
"That's the man, but he looks so unfamiliar. Why do you say he's an old acquaintance?"
She pretended not to recognize the guard's identity.
There are many guards outside the palace, and the secret guards hiding in the dark may not show up for half a year. It is normal that she does not recognize them.
Feng Zhuo didn't explain: "It's fine as long as it's him."
He raised his right hand slightly, and the executioner raised his knife and slashed, and a head appeared on the ground.
When the dust settled, Quan Jiu finally let go of the worry in his heart.
Mo Xi finally escaped the disaster.
That night, she saw a silver-haired man beside her bed.
"elder sister……"
Mo Xi returned to his original appearance, his pair of ice-blue eyes staring at Quan Jiu, like a pug seeing a big bone.
Quan Jiu: “…”
I feel complicated.
This child is too clingy to be beaten or scolded. He always wants to be hugged and act coquettishly, and likes to take advantage of her.
Whenever you get angry with him, he'll look at you with his sapphire-like eyes, as if you were the one who did something wrong, not him...
Mo Xi took off his robe, opened her quilt and crawled in.
Quan Jiu: “???”
What's wrong with the villain today?
Mo Xi had dark circles under his eyes. He lay beside her pillow and stared at her:
"Sister, I'm so tired..."
Of course Quan Jiu knew that he was tired, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to deceive Feng Zhuo.
Quan Jiu: "How did you trick Feng Zhuo?"
Feng Zhuo is not a fool. He will not believe any scapegoat.
Mo Xi obviously didn't want to talk in detail. He grabbed Quan Jiu's arm and rubbed it with his fingertips:
"The Regent doesn't believe me completely, but he hasn't yet suspected me. Sister, you have to protect me..."
He clung to Quan Jiu obediently, like a big puppy wagging its tail.
Quan Jiu: “…”
She had never seen anyone who was a better actor than Mo Xi. There was no flaw in the other person's expression, and his eyes were full of attachment to her.
Quan Jiu: Ergou, do you think he still wants to kill me now?
001: How about you give him a knife and let him try?
Quanjiu: ………
This system is becoming increasingly unreliable.
From that night on, the way Mo Xi and Quan Jiu get along with each other changed unconsciously.
Mo Xi would often act coquettishly and tease her, but he never really touched her.
Every night, he would hold a pillow and come to Quan Jiu's dragon bed.
"Sister, I'm so sleepy..."
He didn't give Quan Jiu any chance to resist and fell asleep.
Fortunately, the dragon bed was very large, and it was no problem for four or five people to sleep on it at the same time. Quan Jiu occupied the beds of four people by himself, and the remaining small corner was given to him.
After Mo Xi found that she no longer beat or scolded him, he gradually began to become more and more demanding.
"Sister, this teacher is too pedantic, I don't like him..."
The next day, Quan Jiu invited him a highly respected old teacher from Qianqiu State.
"Sister, this general can no longer defeat me..."
The next day, Quan Jiu replaced him with a general who looked extremely vicious.
Quan Jiu: Ergou, I think this child can still be saved.
001: Aren’t you afraid that he is acting?
Quan Jiu: The worst that can happen is that we both die.
She really tried her best to be nice to him.
In order to prevent Feng Zhuo from getting suspicious, she even directed and acted in an "assassination" scene, letting Mo Xi risk his life to save her. From that day on, Mo Xi became her savior, and she had every reason to treat him well in an open and aboveboard manner.
After persisting for three months, Quan Jiu felt that he saw the dawn of hope.
"Ergou, he actually took the initiative to make porridge for me."
Still the non-toxic kind.
001: This guy is too easy to fool. The original owner treated him so badly, but he forgave him so easily?
Quan Jiu: It’s okay, just keep taking care of it.
At least for now, it seems that Mo Xi has no tendency to continue to turn evil.
In addition to influencing Mo Xi, Quan Jiu was also busy, studying medicine every day.
Except for the time she spent in court reviewing memorials, she kept her medical skills in her hands every day.
Feng Zhuo originally thought that her promise to treat his leg was just a spur-of-the-moment promise, but he didn't expect that she actually persisted for half a year.
Many times, when the two were discussing political affairs, Quan Jiu was so tired that he fell asleep while sitting.
Feng Zhuo was a little angry at first, but when he found out that the other party was sleepy during the day because he stayed up late at night to read medical books, his emotions instantly became complicated.
A year passed, and Quan Jiu's medical skills had made some progress. The speed of his improvement amazed the imperial doctors in the palace.
At this moment, she was wearing a blue shirt, holding a thick medical book, lazily lying in a rocking chair and sipping tea.
"My dear, I am already four times sure about your leg injury."
A year ago, she invented a miraculous doctor and naturally obtained this "Medical Treasure Book".
She pretended to be a novice in medicine and spent a year "improving" her medical skills bit by bit. Every time she improved, she would let Feng Zhuo know.
Feng Zhuo witnessed her hard work with his own eyes, and over time, his doubts about her gradually dispelled.
Quan Jiu's life became more and more comfortable.
"Ergou, I feel victory is just around the corner."
001 looked at Mo Xi who was becoming more and more clingy and Feng Zhuo who was going in and out of the emperor's bedroom more and more frequently, and she did not have her optimism at all.
He always felt something was wrong.
