Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 615: Coming up with ideas

Li Xiang was lying on the bed, his face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, no matter how Pingyang called him, he was not angry at all.

Pingyang couldn't help but shed tears again.

Pingyang had long since rejected this husband who was incompetent and had hurt her deeply, but seeing him like this made her feel pain like a piercing pain in her heart.

 “Let’s go, you can’t stay here any longer.”

Pingyang was looking at Li Xiang on the hospital bed and was crying so hard that he couldn't help himself. Pei Yunqian stood behind her at some point. When Pingyang saw Pei Yunqian, she subconsciously leaned on his shoulder and cried like a helpless child. : "Cousin, do you think he will die?"

"He will be fine, don't worry." Pei Yunqian comforted her and helped Pingyang out.

As soon as Pingyang stepped over the threshold, he fainted.

 In mid-September, Li Ling's army left Fenshui Pass and entered Yizhou.

Yizhou is the vassal territory of Prince Yong's Palace. As soon as the army arrived in Yizhou, Prince Yong's Palace got the news.

Prince Yong likes to have fun. In the past two years, his health has been gradually exhausted, and he has been constantly taking medicine every day. Therefore, as soon as the palace handles affairs, he has handed over the power to the crown prince Zhao Xuan.

After Zhao Xuan got the news that the army had arrived in Yizhou, he returned to his back house to look for Xie: "This time the emperor's personal expedition will pass through our Yizhou. Do we want to show our sincerity? I plan to take my second and third brothers to personally invite the saint." An, what do you think, madam?"

  Don’t look at the fact that Zhao Xuan’s concubine has a lot of concubines, but when big things happen, he will definitely be the first to come to Xie.

Mrs. Xie was coaxing her young son to sleep. The child was just about to fall asleep when he heard his father's voice and opened his eyes again. Ms. Xie winked at Zhao Xuan. Zhao Xuan quietly withdrew and waited outside. Shi gently patted the baby and hummed a lullaby. After putting the baby to sleep, she straightened her clothes and went out of the room.

Zhao Xuan saw his wife, stood on tiptoe and looked inside, lowered his voice and asked, "Is Lin'er asleep?"

Xie Shi nodded, Zhao Xuan smiled and muttered: "This child can still eat and sleep like this."

"Children can only be strong if they can eat and sleep." Xie said perfunctorily, then looked at her husband and asked about serious matters: "Has the Holy Emperor arrived in Yizhou?"

Zhao Xuan nodded, and then told his wife what he had just said when he was about to greet the driver: "Madam, do you think this arrangement is feasible?"

Hearing this, Xie shook her head and replied: "The saint is going to conquer the land in person this time, not to enjoy the mountains and rivers. The large army is in a hurry to march. It is not appropriate for you to rush to meet the saint like this."

Zhao Xuan nodded after hearing his wife's words and agreed: "Madam is still thoughtful." Then he asked: "Then we will do nothing?"

Xie replied: "Of course not."

As she said that, she pointed to her husband and said: "Send a suitable person over to offer food, rice, vegetables and meat to the army. This can be regarded as our condolences to the army marching south."

Zhao Xuan nodded in agreement and said: "This is a very good idea. His Majesty always loves soldiers as much as his sons. We can win the Holy Heart by being like this." "It's not too late, I'll do it now."

As Zhao Xuan stood up and was about to leave in a hurry, Xie stopped him and warned: "Since we want to show off, we must not be stingy. We must give enough things to show our sincerity."

Zhao Xuan looked slightly embarrassed when he heard this: "There are half a million troops, more people than we have in the entire Yizhou. This is just a matter of face, I think that's what it means."

Mrs. Xie had long expected that her husband would be petty, so she advised: "Daqi has been hostile to the Gaoshan Kingdom for a long time. When Your Majesty conquers the Gaoshan Kingdom, the south will be at peace forever. From now on, even if we want to show our sincerity, we will not do this." The opportunity has come. At the critical moment, husband, don’t be stingy. If we want to show off, we must let the saint remember it.”

After being persuaded by his wife, Zhao Xuan became more alert and asked: "Then according to my wife's wishes, how much rice should we give?"

Ms. Xie had planned this for a long time. She told the numbers one by one. Zhao Xuan felt heartbroken after hearing this. Ms. Xie persuaded him again. Although Zhao Xuan was stingy, he was not unable to handle important matters. He listened. My wife agreed.

The couple had discussed the business, and Zhao Xuan was about to get up and go out to do some business, when his mother-in-law came in and replied: "Your Majesty, madam, the concubine and the second sister are having trouble again."

Meng's foundation was damaged during childbirth, and now she is having trouble every now and then. Even the child she gave birth to is as weak as a cat.

Zhao Xuan was thinking about the important matter that he had just discussed with his wife. When he heard this, his face showed impatient expression unconsciously. He turned to Mrs. Xie and said, "I have to hurry up and do things. Please take more trouble with these trivial matters in the back house." stop."

Mr.

Although Ms. Xie was powerful, she was not that kind of vicious-hearted woman. She sighed helplessly and told her mother-in-law: "Just go and tell her to ask a doctor for her."

After the mother-in-law took the order and left, Xie's personal attendant, Nanny Xu, stepped forward and sighed: "Ever since my wife married the prince, this person has been shouting about making trouble every day. Now there is no need to pretend. I have passed away in the past." Look, I’m afraid I don’t have many days left.”

Xie was shocked when she heard this and asked, "Is it really so serious?"

Over the years, Meng has been lying to others about her illness every day. Now, not to mention Xie, even Zhao Xuan, who thinks she is a cinnabar, is immune to hearing this.

Seeing Nanny Xu nodding, Mrs.

He sighed again: "Hey! Poor, even more pathetic."

Recalling the troubles that the Meng family had caused to her master over the years, Mammy sneered: "Because of her, Madam has suffered so many injustices over the years. Even your wedding night with the prince was disturbed by this bitch. Come on, if it were someone with a narrow mind, he would have sent her away quietly."

Aunt Xu is Xie's personal nanny and has protected her since childhood. Regarding Meng's stumbling block, Aunt Xu has repeatedly persuaded Xie to get rid of him quietly. With Xie's status in the Prince's Mansion, she is Zhao Xuan doted on Meng no more. If she wanted to secretly get rid of a concubine with no background, it would be easy, but Xie had always disdained it.

Mrs. Xie heard her grumblings, and she persuaded her with a smile: "I know it's because she loves me. To be honest, in the past two years, I have no longer trusted her, let alone She is my husband, and I don't care much about her. As long as my position as mistress is secure, they can do whatever they like and let her fend for themselves. Why should I dirty my hands? If you commit evil deeds, you will bring about your own blessings in vain.”
