Chapter 21 He Lianxiao Disapproves of Mingyue Being a Concubine
Chaoge looked at Yuge stupidly, tears welling up uncontrollably.
Her only value is to extend Mingyue's life...
Biting the corner of his lip, Chao Ge was trembling from crying.
Slowly stretching out his wrist, Chao Ge reluctantly compromised.
She wanted to make Ah Xiao happy...
If Mingyue is alive, Ah Xiao won't worry anymore, right?
…
Taking blood every three days was too much for Chaoge's body.
She had been seriously injured before, but now she almost didn't have the strength to stand up.
"Mother!" Seeing Chaoge fall to the ground, Yuanbao ran over worriedly. "Mother, does it hurt? Yuanbao, give me a blow."
Yuanbao was afraid that Chao Ge would be hurt by falling, so he blew his palms on her.
Chao Ge subconsciously protected his wrist behind his back, not daring to let Yuan Bao see the injury on it.
Yuan Bao thought his mother was in severe pain, so he hugged Chao Ge very sensibly. "Be good, mother, the pain will stop soon."
Tears gathered in Chao Ge's eyes, and he held back his tears for a long time before sighing.
"Madam! The general sent a lot of food."
Xiu'er walked in with a food box and happily took out the food inside.
It's all... blood-replenishing.
Black-bone chicken soup, red date porridge.
Chaoge didn't understand the function of these medicinal foods, but she could also guess that only when her body and bones were well nourished could she provide a long-term blood source to Mingyue.
"Eat Yuan Bao, eat Xiu'er." Chao Ge smiled naively, his face was obviously pale, and his smile was so heart-wrenching...
Xiu'er's nose felt sore and she squatted on the ground, feeding Xiaobao. "Madam, why are you... so stupid."
Chaoge still smiled stupidly. "Chaoge is stupid."
Silly Chaoge, so no one likes it.
Xiuer left the best to Chao Ge and coaxed her into eating it.
Perhaps due to the effect of the medicinal diet, Chaoge's face turned slightly red.
"Madam, please take a rest." Xiu'er covered Chao Ge with a quilt, which was donated by the family.
Chao Ge nodded and fell into a deep sleep.
…
Side courtyard.
The bright moon woke up and looked rosy.
"It's the medicine that caused the effect. Congratulations, general." The imperial doctor smiled and congratulated Helianxiao.
Obviously... Mingyue's health has improved, he should be happy.
But the medicine was drawn from that woman's blood.
"Brother Xiao, cough cough cough..." Mingyue covered her chest and coughed, as weak as a willow tree.
"Take good care of yourself." He Lianxiao supported Mingyue who almost fell.
"Brother Xiao... the commander of the imperial army found the Jueqingsan poison on my sister. Is there any misunderstanding?" Mingyue deliberately mentioned Jueqingsan.
He Lianxiao frowned. "I will investigate this matter."
"I heard that there were letters between her and the Western Barbarians. I didn't expect that my sister was actually instigated by the Western Barbarians to rebel. I saw that she said in her letter that she wanted to get rid of you. I was so scared." Mingyue took the opportunity to hug Helianxiao.
He Lianxiao's eyes became darker and darker. "Just her?"
"General, the princess had nightmares again at night. Princess Chaoge is pretending to be crazy. If she hurts our princess again..." the eldest maid said worriedly. "Our princess's illness is all due to Princess Chaoge. Princess Chaoge has been sick since she was a child.
Bullying our princess."
"Hongling..." Princess Mingyue scolded, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
"I will not let her get even half a step closer to Mingyue." He Lianxiao knew that Mingyue was kind. Thinking of Chaoge pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, he knew that the woman was very scheming. "As long as I am here, I will not let anyone bully you again."
"Brother Xiao, you are so kind..." Mingyue hugged He Lianxiao and refused to let go. "Back then... my father originally wanted to send me to Ximan for marriage. I really can't think of... what if I went there?
In a land of barbarians, I am afraid that death will prove your innocence long ago."
Mingyue sighed, but in reality she was mocking Chao Ge for being shameless, being defiled by barbarians, yet still having the shame to come back and marry He Lianxiao again.
For He Lianxiao, this was definitely a stain that he could not let go of.
He Lianxiao's eyes darkened and he comforted her softly. "Don't think too much, just take the medicine."
"Brother Xiao, Yue'er is scared at night...can you stay with Yue'er?"
…
That night, Helianxiao stayed in the side courtyard, and the news spread in the General's Mansion and even throughout Kyoto.
He Lianxiao acquiesced in allowing others to spread these rumors, but in fact he really wanted to give Mingyue a status.
Everyone can see this.
He Lianxiao was the one who knew how to repay his kindness. How could he let a woman lose her reputation because of him?
"Your Majesty, Princess Mingyue needs to rest in the General's Mansion. After all, the medicine..." Yuge reminded.
He Lianxiao nodded. "Just let her live in peace."
"But... it is not good for Princess Mingyue to hide and spread rumors inside and outside the palace." Yuge glanced around and spoke again. "After all, the princess is a woman who has not left the palace. Do you... need to give her a title? Your Majesty intends to give her a title.
Princess Mingyue was sent to the General's Mansion, so she must have acquiesced."
He Lianxiao frowned. "Let Mingyue be my concubine?"
Obviously, Helianxiao would not agree.
