The emperor is hard to chase

Chapter 16

Empress Dowager Xiaoci took a step back and looked at Zhao Jinqing like a monster!

Nanny Li, who often served the Empress Dowager Xiaoci, quickly helped her up, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, do you know that the Empress Dowager is all for your own good!"

Zhao Jinqing lowered his head, it has always been like this——

For him, so he was pushed to the throne that he didn't want at all...

It was also for him that he married Mu Lan as his concubine and sent Zhao Yuan away...

Now for him, he wants to prosper the harem, bring in some poor women, and let them bear children for him?

"I've made up my mind, Eunuch Gao, send my mother back to the palace." Zhao Jinqing said in a low voice.He didn't want to face those eyes that looked like he was looking at a stranger, and he didn't want to marry those women that he couldn't possibly fall in love with against his will!

"You are driving me away!" Empress Dowager Xiaoci coughed violently, staring at him coldly: "Emperor, your wings have grown hard!"

……

Zhao Jinqing turned around, her voice was still faint, but with a slight tremor: "Mother, please go back. The state affairs are busy, and the emperor can't send him away."

The Empress Dowager Xiaoci looked at Zhao Jinqing coldly for a while, then sneered, turned and left.

There was a bang, and the door was opened vigorously, and then fell silent.

The huge bedroom was quiet again, and the empty house was like Zhao Jinqing's mood at the moment.His thoughts were spinning a thousand times: Isn't the current Mulan also victimized by him?However, whether he likes it or not, Rong Xiao will not let him be the emperor who favors the harem.

In this palace, he was not given the slightest chance to choose.He can only use his own reason to restrain his behavior, and it is absolutely impossible for him to let any emotional feelings restrain his heart.

Mulan threw herself into his arms, "Your Majesty! In fact, Mulan doesn't care how many concubines you have. As long as your heart is in Mulan's heart, I will have no regrets..."

Her voice was interrupted: "Mulan, I will send you out of the palace."

A pair of quiet eyes met Mulan's face.

"I will change your name and give you a new identity. As long as I am still the emperor, I will protect you forever."

"What if Mulan doesn't want to leave the palace?" Mulan looked up at him.

Zhao Jinqing pushed her away, frowned and said: "Then I will announce to the world that the concubine has no virtue and has an affair with the prince. At that time, I will send you to the nunnery. Without an edict, you are not allowed to return to the palace."

Mulan bit her lip, as if she wanted to bite it through. She struggled and said, "Your Majesty obviously likes me! Why won't you admit it! Could it be that King Dingnan is that important?"

Zhao Jinqing felt sad and said in a low voice: "I don't like you, and I don't want to have anything to do with any woman. Do you think I was coerced by Rong Xiao? You are too naive. If I don't want to, how can I commit myself to someone else?" Rong Xiao is the person I like the most I have ever met. So, for you, leaving the palace is the best choice."

"..."

Mulan didn't speak, her beautiful eyes were full of waves.

Zhao Jinqing waved his sleeves and said wearily, "Go down. Concubine Lan, think clearly and tell me your choice." He turned around stiffly, and a sharp pain suddenly came from his arm.

"Yes." Mulan was silent for a while, then slowly retreated, closing the door.She was wearing barbarian boots, and she stepped on the ground with a thumping sound, like a desperate drumbeat.

At some point, Zang Feng appeared in the bedroom.Zhao Jinqing turned his head and glanced at him, only to hear Zang Feng say: "Your Majesty, the wound on his arm is open."

"How long have I been asleep?" Zhao Jinqing asked.

Zang Feng was helpless: "Three days."

"What did you do?" Although his tone was unhurried, his expression betrayed his nervousness. "At this time, our plan cannot have any surprises."

Zang Feng had no choice but to answer in a straightforward manner: "Eunuch Gao postponed the court for you because he was unwell, and then invited King Ning to deceive Rong Xiao."

Zhao Jinqing hummed, "Really? He's very smart, but a bit too smart."

Zang Feng sighed silently: "Fortunately, Your Majesty had the foresight early on. Eunuch Gao and King Ning really colluded together, but this time you paid a too high price."

Zhao Jinqing smiled, and there was a hint of winter cold in his pale eyes: "My bitter trick is just a small snack." He paused, and said with hatred: "If I don't wake up, he will let Zhao Yuanqiang Mulan? His loyalty is truly terrifying."

Zang Feng cannot deny this, but...

"Your Majesty, your wound is open. Let me bandage it for you."

The blood stained the white cloth roll ferociously, Zang Feng finally couldn't help but sigh.

Only then did Zhao Jinqing stiffly shift his gaze to his hand, and passed his arm over.

Under the dim light, Zang Feng couldn't see that person's expression clearly.Only a low gasp could be heard.

Zhao Jinqing has been pampered since he was a child, and he is always far away from swords, guns and sticks.Being waited on in rich clothes and well-fed, this little wound hurts him so much that he can't speak.It was better to talk about things just now, but at this moment, the string that collapsed on his head broke, and Zhao Jinqing lost all strength in his whole body.

"From today onwards, Mulan will be your younger sister. Find her a good family far away from the capital, and never return to the capital." It took Zhao Jinqing a long time to make up his mind.He knew that he could no longer keep Mulan by his side.

Zang Feng nodded clearly: "Yes. The minister will definitely take good care of her. Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Outside the dark window lattice, there seemed to be something about to move.

Zhao Jinqing asked in a low voice: "Have you sneaked into Dingnan Palace?"

Zang Feng nodded.
