Chapter 246 Did you just call her...Mother?
Chapter 246 Did you just call her...Mother?
Seeing that he was still depressed and refused to pay attention to anyone.
Shen Changle stood up, walked behind him and put her arms around his neck.
Lifting his smooth and firm jaw, she gently turned his face, turned his head, and kissed the corner of his mouth.
Soft voice and a sharp gaze.
"Okay, Ci'an, don't be angry. I was just teasing you. How could I bear to let you become my concubine?"
Jiang Ci'an was coaxed by her into losing his temper. He breathed rapidly, raised his chin slightly, and closed his eyes habitually.
See him cater to.
However, Shen Changle chuckled maliciously and dodged away.
How could Jiang Ci'an tolerate her?
Want to tease but don't want to take responsibility?
He loosened his arms from across his chest, clasped Shen Changle's slender waist with his big hands, and pressed her into his arms.
One hand restrained her waist and the other supported the back of her head.
It robbed her of her breath fiercely and domineeringly.
Not until the atmosphere heated up and their breaths intertwined did he restrain himself and open his blurry eyes.
Asking eagerly and anxiously:
"Changle, is your body okay?"
Although he had consulted the imperial physician earlier, he was still not very reassured.
I have to ask Changle in person before I can feel at ease.
Seeing her blushing face, she nodded shyly...
Unable to conceal his joy, he lifted her waist and hips and carried her to the bed.
Undress and take off clothes.
The slightly rough fingers slid across her smooth skin, but stopped at the shallow scar on her lower abdomen.
He traced it carefully, his brow furrowed, unable to hide his heartache.
Shen Changle stroked his frowning brows, feeling a little nervous, and gently pursed the corners of his mouth.
"Ugly?"
Jiang Ci'an raised his eyes, his moist gaze swept across her red lips, met her beautiful eyes, and asked:
"Does it hurt?"
He was so heartbroken about her injury, how could he despise her?
Seeing Jiang Ci'an like this, Shen Changle secretly breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head.
Smiling gently and calmly, holding hands with him.
"It will go away after taking the medicine for a while."
Jiang Ci'an knew that she cared about him, so he bent down and touched her forehead.
Kneel straight and unbutton your clothes.
He took off his dragon robe, his undergarment, and then opened his inner garment...
He didn't stop until his chest was covered in scars.
Asked seriously:
"Changle, will you dislike me?"
Shen Changle caressed the arrow wound on his shoulder, the knife wound on his chest, the sword wound on his abdomen...
Full of love and care.
"how come……"
"Yeah, me too."
Jiang Ci'an hung his inner garment back on his shoulders.
He leaned over and kissed her, then held her hand, kissed her all the way down, and gently sucked the wound on her abdomen...
The two of them quickly lost consciousness and rationality.
Souls merge, becoming one...
Afterwards, Jiang Ci'an thoughtfully helped her clean up.
He slept with her, but then quietly got out of bed.
He summoned the eunuch and sent him to the Imperial Hospital to ask for a medicine...
Shen Changle slept until the afternoon, and Jiang Ci'an had already gone to handle official business.
She woke up from tossing and turning, and Ziyuan and Qingying came in to help her dress up.
"My Lady, there is a guard outside the palace gate who has repeatedly requested to see you. Would you like me to drive him away?"
"Guards? What's going on?"
"It's said it's about a musician..."
Seeing that Qingying was unaware of the situation, Ziyuan continued:
"I've inquired about it, and this morning the Emperor punished a musician who happened to be the sweetheart of the guard outside the gate.
He came to plead for the musician, claiming that he was willing to exchange his life for another, just to spare the musician's life.
However, I have asked Eunuch Li who is beside the emperor, and I know that the musician committed the serious crime of confiscating the property and exterminating the entire family!
So, he came several times this morning, but was driven away by me. I didn’t expect him to still not give up…”
Ziyuan complained, but Shen Changle didn't care about that.
"The crime of confiscating the property and exterminating the entire family? What did she do?"
Zi Yuan shook her head and answered truthfully:
"Eunuch Li said that the Emperor had ordered that no information be disclosed, so..."
Shen Changle thought of Jiang Ci'an's arm which was unable to move during the meal, and had some guesses in his mind.
Looking at Ziyuan in the mirror again, he asked:
"Doesn't the guard know how grave a crime the musician has committed?"
"Of course he knows. Even if he didn't know it before, I have told him."
Shen Changle nodded, thought for a moment, and gave the order calmly.
"Tell the Emperor to remove that guard from the palace as well."
"Yes……"
Shen Changle was worried that the guard would harbor resentment towards the musician and do something detrimental to Ci'an, so she ordered him to be expelled from the palace.
But her order was too late.
When Zi Yuan came out, the guard had already left.
It is said...
The musician who had been hung on the city wall for four hours had just died.
Zi Yuan had a bad premonition and ordered the eunuchs and guards in the bedroom to be extra vigilant. She followed Shen Changle's order to go to the imperial study to report to the emperor.
But before he even reached the door of the Imperial Study, he heard screams coming from the direction of the East Palace.
"There's a fire! Help! There's a fire!!"
She no longer had time to look for Jiang Ci'an, and turned to the East Palace where the prince was, to put out the fire!
The palace maids and eunuchs from various palaces walked quickly along the way.
Finally arriving at the East Palace, she grabbed a maid and asked anxiously:
"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
The little palace maid was burning all over, and she was holding a basin of water. She was so frightened that she was in a trance and her speech was slurred...
"Your Highness, Your Highness is still in the bedroom..."
what?
Just as she was about to go in to put out the fire, she heard Shen Changle's voice.
"How is this going!"
"Your Majesty, there's a fire, and His Highness is still in the palace!"
"what?"
The guards and eunuchs rushed in and out to put out the fire. Shen Changle also pushed away the palace maid who was supporting her and said anxiously:
"Go, go put out the fire!"
Zi Yuan and others nodded and joined the firefighting team.
Shen Changle held up her skirt and paced around the palace anxiously.
The temperature around her continued to rise, and Shen Changle's mind kept appearing with Hui'er's frightened look, and her heartbeat became faster and faster.
No!
We can't wait in vain like this any longer!
She gritted her teeth, steeled her heart, called Hui'er's name, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and rushed in.
"Hui'er, Hui'er——"
"Empress! No!"
Just as her figure was about to disappear in the black smoke, she heard a clear cry from inside the palace:
"Mother! Mother, don't come over here!"
"Hui'er? Hui'er, where are you? Cough cough... cough cough cough..."
The thick smoke was choking and made people cry. Shen Changle couldn't see clearly and kept coughing.
"Changle!"
at last……
Jiang Ci'an held Xiao Jiang Hui in one hand and Shen Changle in the other, and flew out of the black smoke.
Shen Changle was coughing, his face was gray and black, and he was choking and crying uncontrollably.
She couldn't take care of herself and couldn't open her eyes, so she groped Jiang Ci'an's hot body randomly.
"Ci'an, Ci'an, are you okay?"
"Don't be afraid, Changle. I'm fine."
"Where's Hui'er? Is Hui'er hurt?"
She couldn't find her way back for a moment, but the little guy took the initiative to reach out his hand and hold her arm.
"Mother...I'm here, and I'm fine."
Shen Changle finally felt relieved, and hugged Jiang Ci'an and Hui'er in his arms as if he had survived a disaster.
"Fortunately, fortunately it was just a false alarm..."
It took me a while to realize it.
and many more!
Did you call her...mother when you got back just now?
She couldn't tell for a moment whether these tears were from happiness or panic...
