However, Bai Xiangxiu felt cold sweat trickling down her back. She said softly, "Actually, you wanted to say, 'Little girl, wait for me to recover from my injuries'. This sentence!"
Long Heng stared blankly for a moment before touching his face.
Was he that obvious? How did she know?
"You've said it so many times before. Every time you're like this, it's quite scary."
At this time, he was blaming the author for not being able to get out of bed for three days. It was really torturing both his body and mind.
"You're smart. Don't worry, wait."
"How am I in a hurry?"
Bai Xiangxiu rolled her eyes at him. However, a certain Prince automatically interpreted it as a flirtatious glance.
Today's weather was cool and refreshing. The breeze felt very comfortable when it blew on the body.
Bai Xiangxiu lifted the curtain of the small window and looked outside. It was as if everything that happened on the battlefield just happened in a dream.
However, those were precious memories. She would never forget the struggle of those nameless heroes and the sacrifice of those soldiers.
"Do you want to go back to Peace City?"
"Yes, the people there are very cute."
"I like it there too. If possible, I'd rather be an idle Prince there."
"Yes."
"You're not fighting for it. I thought you'd persuade me to take a higher position!"
Bai Xiangxiu turned to look at Long Heng and said seriously, "That position is a pit. Once you jump in, you'll lose all your family, love, and friendship.
Our son, me, and the Old Madame will be abandoned by you sooner or later. "
"Naive."
"Who's naive? It's the truth."
"In the face of benefits, no matter if it's the royal family or other families, they won't care about family or love.
You and I, shouldn't we be very clear about this? "
Bai Xiangxiu looked at Long Heng with some confusion, only to see him raise his hand and gently touch her head, saying, "In the past, you were a concubine, some dirty things would be far away from you.
But soon, they will reveal their true selves in front of you.
Actually, how I wish you would never know about this. "
"You … what are you talking about?"
For some reason, Bai Xiangxiu saw a flash of sadness in Long Heng's eyes.
She had never known that he could be sad about anything.
"You only need to know that I have nothing but you, Mother, and Lin 'er.
The same goes for you. "
"Me, and my brother …"
"In that family of yours, only that brat is sincere to you."
"…"
What did he mean by that? Could it be that there was something fishy about the warm scholarly family she had imagined?
But looking at the disdain in Long Heng's eyes, that was clearly what he meant!
"That's why I said that you're too naive. You always think that others are good.
If your parents were good, why would they send you to live as a widow in the Prince's Mansion?
I won't say more. You will understand very soon. "
Bai Xiangxiu seemed to understand something as she listened. Before Long Heng returned from the battlefield, Old Madame had brought these four madams in. Although it looked very impressive, there was a saying that it was better to be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine. Her legitimate daughter was sent here to be a concubine, but the original owner's parents didn't feel much pity for her.
Moreover, she had been in the mansion for so long, but they didn't come to see her.
Even after she gave birth to the little heir, she heard that they sent some gifts, but they didn't see them.
At that time, she felt that this family was very considerate. They were afraid that it would be difficult for their daughter to be a concubine, so they didn't come.
After all, this concubine's parents weren't presentable.
Could it be that they didn't come simply because they didn't want to see her?
Forget it, maybe Long Heng was just overthinking.
The atmosphere in the carriage was very cold. Fortunately, not long after, they arrived at the sending off pavilion outside the East Gate of the Imperial Palace. Everyone gathered there, and then the men rode horses and the women sat in the carriage to the East Mountain hunting area.
But there was a problem here. Long Heng was helped out of the carriage and then laid down on the soft sedan.
Only now did Bai Xiangxiu realize that her husband was really good at acting. He was lying on the bed with such a weak look on his face. He really did look like he'd been seriously ill.
The people around naturally came to ask about his well-being. The Emperor's heart was first happy, then bitter.
He was happy because he felt that Long Heng had finally suffered a big loss in his hands. Looking at him like this, it seemed that he wouldn't be able to recover for at least a month.
He was bitter because he was clearly showing everyone how he, the Emperor, didn't understand human relationships. Obviously, he was sick like this, yet he was still sent to accompany the Prince. This was clearly making things difficult for him!
So the Emperor frowned and comforted Long Heng with a few words. Then he had him lie there and didn't need to come down.
Long Heng naturally agreed. Even if he wanted to come down, it would be difficult. He wouldn't joke around with his body.
This time, the Empress wasn't present. If she wasn't present, then the Old Madame couldn't come. After all, she was the Empress' guest.
Those who came were all the Emperor's concubines. There were a total of ten carriages. There were about sixteen or seventeen concubines or women who had some relationship with the Emperor.
Bai Xiangxiu looked at the carriages of the imperial concubines and shook her head. Being the Emperor was amazing. How could he serve so many women?
However, Lin Qianzi was here as well. She'd overheard about it yesterday.
She still had the mind to find her for revenge. She thought of a lot of ways, but unfortunately, she heard it all clearly.
Because she was afraid that Long Heng would be worried, she didn't mention it and waited for the other side to panic.
She just didn't understand. You're a little girl who just had an abortion less than an hour ago. Why did you go to battle with a light injury?
Moreover, she probably didn't know that she was actually a gun being used by someone else. And the person shooting from behind was someone else.
That person should also be here. Bai Xiangxiu felt that she really had to face a lot of enemies today.
The Emperor first sat in a sedan chair. When he left the capital and arrived at the North Mountain, he rode a horse.
His eyes subconsciously drifted towards Bai Xiangxiu. No one could stop a man's desire to look at a beauty, not to mention a legendary beauty like Bai Xiangxiu.
Some people hated her, some people loved her.
Those who hated her hated her to death, and those who loved her felt pity for her.
And these people were all in the harem. There were his new concubines and the previous Emperor's old concubines.
Just as he was thinking, a very white and tender little hand suddenly reached out from the carriage. The little hand was holding a water bag.
It seemed to be thrown with force. The water bag was thrown at Long Heng.
Long Heng reached out his hand to catch it and drank a mouthful.
The husband and wife were very loving. These small actions that couldn't be more ordinary showed that she was a somewhat witty woman.
Obviously, she could have the servants hand the water bag to Long Heng, but she threw it herself. Moreover, she threw it very low. Wasn't she just trying to tease Long Heng?
He had to admit that those well-behaved women looked very dignified, but they were still not as lively as these naughty women.
There were very few women like this in the harem. Even the seemingly coquettish Lin Qianzi was usually very dull.
