Children of Loulan

Chapter 134 The waist flashed

Aidil answered confidently: "If the construction is not complete and without the will of my father, how dare he come back privately? If he builds it carelessly just to come back, and something goes wrong, he will be guilty of a capital crime!"

Concubine Xian looked at Aidier with a puzzled look on her face and said in surprise, "I didn't expect my son to have such a deep plan?"

Aidil smiled slightly and said modestly: "This is all thanks to you, mother!"

Concubine Xian asked curiously, "Oh? What do you mean?"

Aidil said gratefully: "My mother taught me to consult with my grandfather on everything. That day, my grandfather told me that I should consider all aspects carefully before doing anything. So when I fell just now, I was also very angry and blamed others. But then I remembered what my grandfather said, and then I calmed down and thought about these problems carefully!"

Concubine Xian: "Well, since you have made up your mind, let the queen be proud for a while!"

Edir: "The queen has just come to see me. Her eyes are filled with joy that she can't hide! But I don't care. Please bear with me and pretend to be unhappy for two days!"

The virtuous concubine sighed helplessly, a sly look flashed in her eyes, but she still gently stroked Edir's hair and said softly: "Good boy, mother knows that you know your limits. It's just that the queen is really too bullying. If it weren't for the overall situation, how could mother be so tolerant? Well, since you have made up your mind, mother will naturally support you with all her strength. It's just..."

She paused, then continued, "It's not just me who's been wronged, you've also been injured. When the time is right, we'll settle the score together."

Aidil nodded slightly to show that he understood. He knew that although Concubine Xian was dissatisfied, she could only tolerate it temporarily for the sake of long-term considerations. He looked at Concubine Xian with gratitude and said, "Thank you for your understanding, mother. I will never let you down."

The virtuous concubine smiled and patted his hands, then stood up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she looked back at Aidier and reminded him, "You should also take care of your body and don't overwork yourself." After that, she left with her personal maid.

When Concubine Xian returned to the Summer Palace, her face suddenly turned gloomy. She sat in front of the dressing table, looked at herself in the mirror, and smiled coldly. Then, she turned to Yumei beside her and said, "Go and ask the king to come over, and tell him that I fainted because of excessive sadness!"

Yumei responded respectfully and left in a hurry. Not long after, the king came to the Summer Palace anxiously. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Concubine Xian lying quietly on the bed, her eyes closed, her face as pale as paper. Tears slid down her cheeks, as if she had suffered endless grievances.

The king walked to the bedside with a distressed look on his face, gently held the virtuous concubine's hand, and asked with concern: "My beloved concubine, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly faint? Tell me quickly!" His voice was full of anxiety and worry.

The virtuous concubine slowly opened her eyes, looked at the king with tears in her eyes, and said with a sob: "Your Majesty, I went to see our son today. Seeing how badly he was injured, my heart was filled with grief. I was so angry that I fainted." She sobbed as she spoke, and her appearance made people feel pity.

The king hastened to comfort her, "My beloved concubine, don't be too sad. It is important to take care of yourself. I will take care of the prince's affairs, so don't worry." He held the virtuous concubine's hand tightly, wanting to give her some strength.

The virtuous concubine wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly: "My king, I know you are busy with affairs, but he is my dearest after all! Now that he is injured so badly, how can I not feel heartbroken? He is a healthy person, but he is injured so suddenly, and I don't know if he will leave any hidden illness." There was a hint of sadness in her tone.

The king frowned and consoled her, "Don't worry, my beloved concubine. I have ordered the Imperial Hospital to treat him with all their strength. He will not have any hidden illness. I have also investigated what happened today. It was the prince himself who said that he had not gone out for fun on horseback for a long time, so he made an appointment with those noblemen and such an accident happened."

Hearing the king's words, Concubine Xian showed a gratified smile on her face, as charming as a peach blossom blooming in spring. She nodded slightly, opened her red lips, leaned into the king's broad and warm embrace and said softly: "With your words, I feel much more at ease!"

The king looked down at the always gentle Concubine Xian in his arms, but an inexplicable irritation surged in his heart. He didn't know why, but since he met that Lan Cairen, he became more and more annoyed with Concubine Xian's pretending to be weak. Although he knew clearly that Concubine Xian's behavior was a bit artificial before, he had never felt such disgust as now. However, as the king of a country, the king knew that his emotions must be hidden, so he suppressed his inner unhappiness, whispered a few words of comfort, and then found an excuse and said: "My beloved concubine, I haven't eaten yet!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian hurriedly broke free from the king's arms, her face showing guilt. She tidied her messy hair and said self-reproachfully, "Oh, it's all my fault. I was so sad that I forgot that the king was still hungry!" After that, she quickly turned around and shouted to the door, "Lian Zhi, serve the meal quickly!" Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like pearls falling on a jade plate.

At the same time, she also stood up lightly, ready to go to dinner with the king. However, just as she was holding the king's arm intimately, the king suddenly uttered: "Ouch!" Xianfei instantly became nervous and asked anxiously: "King, what's wrong with you! What happened?"

When she turned around and her eyes fell on the king, she saw that the king held his waist with one hand and held his arm tightly with the other hand. He bent his body slightly and said, "It's okay. Maybe I was in a hurry to see my beloved concubine just now, so I didn't realize that I sprained my waist. Now that I see that my beloved concubine is safe and sound, I feel the pain in my waist!"

His words were like a sharp sword, piercing the heart of Concubine Xian. She looked at the king distressedly, tears pouring out like a broken dam, and said with tearful eyes: "I'm sorry, King. It's all my fault. I have harmed you! I really deserve to die!"

The king quickly comforted her, "It's alright, my beloved concubine. Don't blame yourself. Why don't you rub my waist for me? As long as my beloved concubine stops crying, the pain I am in will not matter. After all, how can a backache be more important than my heartache for my beloved concubine?"

Concubine Xian anxiously supported the king, carefully helped him to the bed, and leaned down and said gently: "Okay, I won't cry, I will rub you!" Then, she turned her head and looked outside the door, shouting loudly: "Lian Zhi, bring the food into the room quickly!"

The king stared at the virtuous concubine and said softly, "Now, our prince's leg is injured and he can no longer go to the Gobi Desert. So, tomorrow I will temporarily order you to go?"

The virtuous concubine looked at the king with a look of heartache and responded, "I am grateful for your concern for our son, but he really needs to rest and recuperate his leg injury!"

The king quickly comforted her, "I understand that this matter has wronged my beloved concubine. Don't worry, I will definitely give my beloved concubine appropriate compensation in the future!"
