I also have some selfish motives

Author: Yan Qianyan

Su Shixia actually knew about Mr. Mo's departure.

Just about a month ago, Mr. Mo quietly sneaked into Fahua Temple to see her and specifically told her that he had important things to do and needed to make a long trip.

Su Shixia had told him before that whether he wanted to stay or leave was entirely up to him, and she would not stop him.

Therefore, she didn't ask much about Mr. Mo's departure.

But Mr. Mo took the initiative and said that he would try his best to come back before she left Fahua Temple.

Now she and Xiao Qin Zhan have come out of Fahua Temple.

But hearing what Qian Duoduo meant, Mr. Mo still hasn't returned.

"It doesn't matter."

Su Shixia smiled and said, "He's not the only bodyguard I have."

As she spoke, she raised her chin towards Shi Jun and Xun Qing.

"I won't say it before. Now that I have moved back to Prince Pingxi's Mansion, Qin Yi's bodyguards will naturally be at my disposal."

Qian Duoduo heard that Su Shixia wanted to talk to Shi Jun Xunqing, nodded in line with her words, and then stepped aside with Xiao Qin Zhan in his arms.

"Princess, it's great that you and the young master are back together safely."

Xun Qing took the initiative to greet him.

"When you went to Fahua Temple, the imperial doctors sent by the Holy One have not yet arrived. My subordinates have been guarding the prince and cannot get away, and they have not been able to see you off."

"At that time, I heard that there seemed to be something wrong with the young master's eyes. I have been worried about it for a while. But Fahua Temple is a royal temple. Without the permission of the Holy Master, my subordinates would not dare to break in."

As Xun Qing said this, she couldn't help but take another look at Xiao Qin Zhan.

"Are the young master's eyes better now?"

"It's okay now."

Su Shixia responded with a smile, followed the topic raised by Xun Qing, and asked naturally: "How is the prince's situation now?"

"this……"

Xun Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The Holy Emperor sent an imperial doctor to treat the prince. The imperial doctor disliked his subordinate as a country doctor. After they came, his subordinates were never able to get close to the prince again."

really.

The Holy Emperor sent those imperial doctors here, ostensibly to treat Qin Yi, but in reality they were using those imperial doctors as spies to monitor Qin Yi's actions at all times.

This is not giving anyone a chance to get close to Qin Yi.

Su Shixia's eyelashes furrowed slightly, she already had a secret concern in her heart, and then she asked with "concern": "Then, what did the imperial doctor say about Qin Yi's injuries?"

"It's still the same."

Xun Qing said: "The daily medication is just to force the prince to hang his life. The prince's injuries have not improved much."

After saying this, he lowered his voice and added quickly.

"The person being watched by the imperial doctor in the mansion is not the prince, but a substitute. The prince is not in the mansion now."

Su Shixia had long known that Qin Yi had a substitute, but he didn't expect that the substitute would be so lifelike that even the imperial doctor couldn't tell him apart. This was indeed a skill.

"Is there anything else you want to say to me?"

Su Shixia looked at Xun Qing seriously, apparently she was asking him, but in fact she was asking Qin Yi if he had anything to say to her.

Xun Qing shook his head slightly, his voice getting lower and lower.

"The prince left in a hurry, and the concubine came suddenly. Today's situation was not expected by the prince before he left."

"I know, then I'll just adapt accordingly."

Su Shixia asked the most critical question while following Xun Qing and the others to the palace.

"What is your prince's attitude towards this noble concubine?"

This time, Xun Qing's attitude was even more cautious than before. After carefully observing the circle to make sure that no one was watching them, he quickly replied with four words.

"Extremely disgusting."

Su Shixia raised her eyebrows almost invisible, and without saying any nonsense, she smiled and said loudly: "Where is the imperial concubine now? We can't neglect the distinguished guests coming to visit us."

Su Shixia had heard a lot of rumors about this imperial concubine before.

But today is the first time to actually see me in person.

When she walked into the living room and saw clearly the appearance of the person sitting in the main seat, Su Shixia was already prepared, and a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.

This imperial concubine is really too young, or should I say... she looks too young.

If she remembered correctly, the imperial concubine's biological son, His Highness Prince Su, was already in his twenties.

She had previously married her "former sworn sister", the eldest lady of the Changyi Marquis, Su Jingrao, as his concubine. She has been trying to have a child in the past few years.

In other words, this imperial concubine is now about to become a grandmother.

No matter how young she was when she married the Holy Master, she should be in her forties now, but the woman in front of her looks like she is in her early thirties at most.

In addition to the feminine charm, there is even some girlish charm left in her eyebrows and eyes.

The ordinary beauty and skin care methods in this world, no matter how good they are, cannot achieve this level of effect, unless... it is a special beauty-preserving technique.

Su Shixia narrowed her eyes slightly, and suddenly the shadow of Ye Li flashed in her mind.

Calculated, the national master of Dongling Kingdom should be about the same age as the current sage, but judging from his appearance, he seems to be about the same age as Qin Yi.

Could the beauty-preserving technique used by the imperial concubine have something to do with Ye Li?

Su Shixia was thinking secretly in her heart, but there was no clue on her face. She led Xiao Qin Zhan forward and respectfully bowed to the imperial concubine.

"Excuse me, the princess and the young master have been praying for the Dongling Kingdom for three months. They have worked really hard."

The imperial concubine behaved particularly enthusiastically today, and she was obviously not here to cause trouble.

Just as Su Shixia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the imperial concubine had already walked up to her and held her hand affectionately.

"You have been married to King Pingxi for several years. I have lived in the palace for a long time, and you don't come to the palace often, so we don't have much contact with each other."

"I heard people say before that King Pingxi was born like a fish and a wild goose, and it turned out to be true when I saw him today. He is truly a beauty who will captivate the country and the city."

The imperial concubine spoke words of praise with a smile on her face, her eyes fixed on Su Shixia's face, as if she was seriously appreciating the beauty.

She was obviously very friendly, but Su Chixia felt inexplicably uncomfortable when she was staring at her, as if she wanted to see something from her.

She was secretly on guard in her heart, but she still maintained a smile on her face and greeted the imperial concubine politely.

After some conversation, she finally brought the topic back to the main topic.

"I still don't know why the imperial concubine came to the mansion in person today."

"Tomorrow is the birthday of the Holy One."

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "Your Majesty has always been thinking about King Pingxi's injury. He has mentioned it several times and said that he hoped that King Pingxi would get well soon and personally go to his birthday banquet to drink with him."

"The main purpose of my visit today is to visit King Pingxi on behalf of the Holy Spirit and see if his health has improved."

"Besides, I also have some selfish motives."

The imperial concubine looked at Su Shixia with a smile, and then her eyes fell on Xiao Qin Zhan.
