Chapter 286: Attack
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Emperor Jing Xuan was thinking about the contents of the imperial edict when he heard the young eunuch report that Concubine Xian wanted to see him.
Emperor Jing Xuan frowned inadvertently.
Eunuch Fu glanced at Emperor Jing Xuan without batting an eyelid. He deliberated for a moment and did not speak.
The young eunuch lowered his body and waited outside, not daring to breathe.
Emperor Jing Xuan doted on Concubine Xian very much. Usually, when Concubine Xian asked to see him, Emperor Jing Xuan would meet her directly. However, he was not in a good mood today.
Emperor Jing Xuan sighed. “Forget it. Let Concubine Xian in.”
“Yes.”
The young eunuch retreated.
Not long after, Consort Xian arrived at the imperial study with a worried expression.
Her every frown, smile, and even every look was carefully designed to ensure that Emperor Jing Xuan would look at her from any angle.
“Your Majesty!”
She bowed tearfully.
When Emperor Jing Xuan saw this, he knew that Concubine Xian was going to do it again. However, he did not think that it would really be something earth-shattering.
He guessed that it was because he had gone to the Empress’s palace and made Consort Xian jealous.
The harem never lacked women, nor did it lack jealous women. However, the only person who had the guts to show her jealousy was Consort Xian.
What Emperor Jing Xuan liked was Concubine Xian’s straightforwardness. Occasionally, it was a little annoying, but overall, it was not a big deal.
“Are you feeling better?” Emperor Jing Xuan asked.
Consort Xian said aggrievedly, “Your Majesty, you still remember that I’m not feeling well. Have you forgotten that you haven’t been to my palace for a few days?”
Emperor Jing Xuan smiled. “I’ve been too busy these past few days and neglected my beloved concubine. It’s my fault.”
Concubine Xian came to Emperor Jing Xuan’s side sweetly.
Eunuch Fu gestured to the palace servants in the imperial study. Everyone understood and retreated one by one.
Eunuch Fu could not leave. He had to serve Emperor Jing Xuan.
Unless Emperor Jing Xuan ordered him to leave.
Concubine Xian said, “Your Majesty, I came today to tell you something.”
“Oh?” Emperor Jing Xuan put down the memorial and glanced at Eunuch Fu.
Eunuch Fu understood and immediately brought a stool over for Concubine Xian to sit beside Emperor Jing Xuan.
Consort Xian said, “I don’t dare to sit.”
Emperor Jing Xuan smiled. “What exactly is it that makes your beloved concubine so serious?”
Consort Xian looked aggrieved and worried. “Does Your Majesty think that I only know how to fight with women?”
Emperor Jing Xuan smiled helplessly. “I didn’t say that.”
Concubine Xian said solemnly, “Your Majesty, what I want to report is very important. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me first.” freewebnovel.cσ๓
Emperor Jing Xuan said, “My beloved concubine, feel free to say it. I won’t punish you.”
Concubine Xian said, “Your Majesty, the news has spread both inside and outside the palace. Qin Che, who is the Protector Duke, is not Qin Canglan’s true legitimate son.”
Emperor Jing Xuan nodded. “That’s right. He’s Qin Canglan’s half-brother. I’ve already issued a decree to name him Qin Jiang.”
The Qin and Su families did not deliberately hide the news, so it was not strange for it to spread.
It would be suspicious if Consort Xian said that she did not know.
Concubine Xian continued, “I also heard that Qin Canglan’s son is called Su
Cheng. He has a son and a daughter who are the same age as Qin Yanran and her brother.”
Emperor Jing Xuan asked, “Are you worried about Third Brother’s marriage with the Protectorate?”
“Of course I’m worried. I only have one son… I can’t wait to betroth the most outstanding woman in the world to him…”
Consort Xian did not deny it. The more straightforward she was, the more she looked like she was not scheming. The more Emperor Jing Xuan doted on her.
