Chapter 285: The Unruly and Willful Concubine (4)

These words were spoken in an ambiguous way. Although they were not made clear, Shen Fangshu felt a pang in her heart.

"I am not tired. The emperor loves me and doesn't want me to go through the pain of childbirth early. But I don't want to see the emperor... You naturally don't understand this."

A blush appeared on Gu Zhen's face. She spoke in a low voice, and the people serving in the distance could not hear her at all, but Shen Fangshu heard it clearly.

The color on her face drained away instantly.

She is no longer at the age where she knows nothing. In the past few years, she and Zhan Linxiao have done everything they should and shouldn't do, and they have also used other means when it was inconvenient.

Now after listening to Gu Zhen's words, Shen Fangshu seemed to understand instantly.

But she didn't believe it.

Gu Zhen glanced at her imperceptibly and took a bite of the dessert, as if trying to cover up for her slip of the tongue just now: "It must be because I can't sleep well without the emperor's embrace."

Shen Fangshu could hardly stand. Did they always hug each other when they fell asleep?

She bit her lower lip, trying to deceive herself that this was just a lie told by Gu Zhen, but the imperial concubine didn't know what happened between them!

Shen Fangshu was in a state of confusion and did not hear Bi Ru's voice while she was thinking.

"Aunt Shen!" Bi Ru had no choice but to walk over and shout.

Shen Fangshu came back to her senses immediately, and in panic she met a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

The stupid but unruly imperial concubine was looking at her with an ambiguous smile.

"I deserve to die for neglecting Your Majesty," Shen Fangshu immediately knelt on the ground, "It is true that I am not feeling well today, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

The original owner was stopped when she wanted to enter Qianning Palace, and she slapped Shen Fangshu in anger. After this, although she could enter and leave Qianning Palace, she also offended Zhan Linxiao.

She didn't see the emperor for a whole month.

The original owner had learned her lesson and knew that she could not easily take action against anyone around the emperor, even if he was just a servant.

Gu Zhen leaned elegantly on the pillow at the side, "Get up, I'm in a good mood today, I won't bother with you."

Shen Fangshu immediately stood up and tried her best to serve.

"Aunt Shen, I came here today to borrow a model from you. The Emperor's birthday is coming soon, and I want to make a dress for him myself."

Shen Fangshu's embroidery skills are top-notch. Except for the ones made for Zhan Linxiao's imperial use, almost all the others are made by her.

"Please wait a moment, Madam. I will find it for you right away."

Shen Fangshu felt a little uncomfortable. In the palace, only the older maids were called aunts, and she had always been respectfully called "Miss Shen."

But after all, their identities were different, so no matter how unwilling she was, she had to endure it. She found out the trick and handed it to Bi Ru without saying a word.

Gu Zhen looked at her expression of trying to suppress her impatience and smiled, "Aunt Shen is 25 years old this year, right? According to the regulations, you can be released from the palace in the second half of the year. I will definitely say a few good words for you and ask the emperor to find a suitable marriage for you outside."

Shen Fangshu's eyelids twitched. She would naturally not leave the palace, but why did Gu Zhen bring up this for no reason at this time?

It doesn't look like he knows anything...

Shen Fangshu had no choice but to suppress her doubts: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but the emperor said that he will make the decision on this matter."

Gu Zhen nodded, and wandered around the Qianning Palace as if he was not paying attention, looking here and there, and then started chatting with Biru.

All the topics revolved around the emperor, and they were all talking about how they were in private.

Shen Fangshu felt uncomfortable all over and her heart was filled with sourness. She forced herself to wait until the court was over.

Zhan Linxiao didn't know that Gu Zhen was also there. Today, there was a victory report from the war in the north. Gu Yun led a small team to annihilate 3,000 enemies. It was really exciting.

He was eager to share this with Shen Fangshu.

But she rushed in excitedly and was about to call for help when a colorful butterfly flew out of the room. She was still wearing gold and silver, but the accessories were well matched, just like the most beautiful flower in full bloom in spring.

Zhan Linxiao was stunned and subconsciously hugged Gu Zhen.

"... Imperial Concubine... Why is Imperial Concubine here?"

Gu Zhen held up the pattern in her hand and said, "I came here to learn some embroidery techniques and wait for the emperor to come back. Your Majesty, why did you leave again last night? I woke up early in the morning and found that there was no one by my side. I felt uncomfortable!"

Zhan Linxiao was extremely embarrassed. He glanced at Shen Fangshu and saw tears welling up in her eyes. His heart ached and he immediately wanted to push Gu Zhen away.

But Gu Zhen had already pulled him to the main seat and sat down: "Your Majesty, during the court session today, there is news from the north. My brother has been away from home for a long time, and I am worried..."

After hearing this, Zhan Linxiao felt it was not appropriate to ignore Gu Zhen at this time, so he had to tell Gu Zhen about the good news.

Gu Zhen was very happy to hear this, "Your Majesty is wise and decisive, and has done a great job in controlling his subjects. I would like to congratulate Your Majesty in advance for conquering the barbarians and unifying the country."

Zhan Linxiao laughed out loud, feeling much more pleased. He also liked the imperial concubine a little more, and they chatted with each other for quite a while.

Shen Fangshu felt a sense of crisis. She had seen the imperial concubine and the emperor get along before, and it was not so harmonious and natural.

Gu Zhen said enough was enough and returned to her Changle Palace leisurely.

The palace maids in the Qianning Palace also retreated one after another at Zhan Linxiao's signal.

Zhan Linxiao couldn't wait to pull Shen Fangshu to sit on his lap: "Shu'er, I'm happy. Once the barbarians in the north are dealt with, I will have time to deal with these dishonest treacherous officials. By then, no one can threaten us anymore."

Shen Fangshu lowered her head, her lower lip almost bitten by herself.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Linxiao frowned, "Did that shrewish concubine bully you?!"

"No," Shen Fangshu shook her head, but still asked, "Ah Xiao, tell me the truth, every time you go to the harem, do you always lie with her?"

I still can't ask anything else because I'm afraid to hear something I dare not hear.

Zhan Linxiao was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing, it turned out that he was jealous.

"Shu'er, why are you so petty? I've already said that it was not just a show, it was just a temporary measure. If I go to the Imperial Concubine and treat her coldly, how can I win her trust and make her willingly serve as a cover for you?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed those tearful eyes. Shen Fangshu closed her eyes and responded softly.

Forget it, as long as she doesn't take that step, Xiao will only belong to her.

Zhan Linxiao spent some time with his sweetheart, then went back to the front to handle government affairs.

Money was needed for war and disaster relief in the south, but the treasury was empty and the Ministry of Revenue did not have much money. The joy of winning the battle immediately dissipated.

At this time, many ministers wrote letters to the emperor, requesting him to treat the imperial concubine equally and not favor the imperial concubine alone, so as not to foster the ambitions of the Gu family.

Zhan Linxiao closed his eyes.

"Come here, pass the message down. I will go to Concubine Xian's place tonight."
