The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

After eating the hot pot, Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan stopped by the night market for a stroll.

They didn't go back to the palace until they were full of food, drink and fun.

Both of them were a little tired and didn't have the mind to do anything else, so they went to bed after washing up.

At dawn the next day, the secret security guard who was urgently needed for eight hundred miles was rushed into the palace.

At this time, Luo Qinghan had just left Yunxiu Palace when he saw Zhao Xian running quickly with a secret security.

He knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, this is an urgent message from Nanyue Kingdom, please have a look at it!"

Hearing that it was an urgent report from Nanyue Kingdom, Luo Qinghan's heart sank, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.

When there was a civil strife in Nanyue, Xiao Xixi followed the Nanyue Mission to Shengjing as Princess Nanfeng to ask for help. Luo Qinghan, the emperor of Dasheng, agreed to lend 30,000 troops to Nanyue to help them quell the civil strife as soon as possible.

After the 30,000 soldiers and horses went to Nanyue, there was no news of them.

Two years have passed.

Many ministers in the DPRK and China were worried when they mentioned this matter. It was just a civil strife in a small country, and it should have ended long ago. Why hasn't there been any news yet?

Now that he suddenly received an urgent report from Nanyue, Luo Qinghan instinctively felt that it would not be good news.

He opened the urgent report and quickly read the contents of the letter.

The winter morning is extremely cold, and the wind blows past my ears, making people hurt like a knife.

However, Luo Qinghan didn't seem to realize it.

Holding the thin letter paper, he was silent for a long time before he let out a breath.

"Let's go."

The dragon chariot continued to move forward and arrived at the meeting hall smoothly as usual.

The civil and military officials stood in accordance with their ranks and saluted the emperor respectfully.

Luo Qinghan looked at the drooping heads below, and said after a long time: "I just received an urgent report from Nanyue Kingdom, Nanyue King died of illness."

A simple sentence, but like a bomb, it exploded in everyone's minds.

Everyone was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to their senses.

They had heard about King Nanyue's serious illness a long time ago, but it had been two years. They thought that King Nanyue had been cured, but they didn't expect him to die.

Someone couldn't help asking: "Since the Nanyue King is gone, who is in charge of the Nanyue Kingdom now? And what happened to the 30,000 soldiers we sent to Nanyue? Should the civil war in Nanyue continue? "

Luo Qinghan didn't answer.

He was thinking all over his head now, how should he tell Xixi about this?

Even though she is not the biological daughter of King Nanyue, she still has a bond with King Nanyue. She must be very sad to hear the news of King Nanyue's death.

At this moment, someone mentioned the imperial concubine.

"King Nanyue has no children, only the imperial concubine and one daughter. Now that the Nanyue king is gone, the Nanyue Kingdom cannot be without someone to take charge. As the princess of Nanyue, is the imperial concubine going back to take charge of the overall situation?"

Nanyue is different from Dasheng. Dasheng's throne is only passed on to his sons, but Nanyue's throne can be passed on to both men and women.

In other words, as the only princess of Nanyue, the imperial concubine is the only orthodox heir of King Nanyue.

It is justifiable for her to preside over the overall situation.

As soon as this was said, someone immediately jumped out to object.

"The imperial concubine has already married to Dasheng. The so-called marrying a chicken follows the chicken. Since she has become a concubine of Dasheng, she is already a member of Dasheng. No matter what happens to Nanyue, it has nothing to do with her!"

The ministers of the DPRK and China were divided into two factions because of their different opinions on this matter.

One group of people thought that the imperial concubine could go back and preside over the overall situation, so that Nanyue Kingdom could be taken into Dasheng's pocket logically.

Another group of people think that noble concubines are women, and women are not allowed to participate in politics. This is a rule that cannot be changed!

The two sides quarreled over the matter.

Luo Qinghan listened impatiently to their bickering, and ended today's morning court early.

After he left the meeting hall, he did not go directly to the imperial study to review the memorials as usual, but looked in the direction of Yunxiu Palace in a daze.

Eunuch Chang stood quietly by the side, conscientiously serving as the background board.

It took him a long time to hear the emperor speak.

"How do you think you should tell the concubine about this?"

Eunuch Chang knew that the emperor was talking about the death of King Nanyue.

He thought for a moment before speaking cautiously.

"This matter can be hidden for a while, but it cannot be hidden for a lifetime.

Instead of letting the imperial concubine learn about this matter from others, it is better for you to tell her this matter yourself so that she will not think too much.

And according to the servants, the imperial concubine is not the kind of weak woman who can be easily defeated.

She actually has something in mind, so you might as well tell her the truth. "

Luo Qinghan exhaled slowly: "Let's go, drive to Yunxiu Palace."

Xiao Xixi just crawled out of the warm blanket at this moment.

She sat in front of the vanity mirror, yawning lazily.

Folding Branches helped her style her hair into a simple chic bun.

Because she didn't have to go out, she didn't wear too many hair accessories, but simply inserted two gold hairpins.

There was the sound of green pines passing through the door.

"Report to the imperial concubine, the emperor is here."

Xiao Xixi was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on her face. Normally, the emperor was dealing with government affairs in the imperial study at this time, why did he suddenly come to Yunxiu Palace today? Is something wrong?

Zhe Zhi helped the imperial concubine to get up, and walked towards the door.

Everyone bowed to the emperor.

Luo Qinghan took Xixi's hand and said in a low voice: "Didn't I tell you that you don't need to go out to pick me up?"

Xiao Xixi gave him a sweet smile, and said softly: "It's only a few steps anyway, so what's the matter?"

Luo Qinghan led her into the warm room.

He backed away, leaving only him and Xiao Xixi in the room.

Xiao Xixi keenly sensed that Luo Qinghan had something to tell her, she blinked and looked at him curiously.

"Why is your expression so serious? Is something wrong?"

Luo Qinghan stared at her steadfastly, and finally said with difficulty after a long while: "I just received an urgent report from Nanyue that King Nanyue died of illness."

Xiao Xixi was stunned.

Her eyes widened in disbelief: "How did this happen? When did it happen?"

Luo Qinghan: "About two months ago."

He stared at Xixi closely, for fear that she would not be able to bear the blow.

Xiao Xixi murmured: "I thought she would be fine with Master here, but I didn't expect..."

Unexpectedly, such a powerful master could not cure Nanyue Wang's illness.

Although she and Nanyue Wang are not biological mothers and daughters, Nanyue Wang treats her very well, and she also sincerely treats Nanyue Wang as a teacher and mother.

Now when she first heard the news of King Nanyue's death, she really couldn't accept it.

Luo Qinghan stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, hugged her tightly, stroked her back with his palms, and comforted her silently.

Xiao Xixi said sullenly: "I am very worried about Master."

Compared to her, Master must have endured much greater grief and pressure.

I don't know how Master is doing now?
